The Queue: Friday Abides
There was a queue question earlier this week about wanting to escape from it all, and to be honest, the moments I most feel like doing so is when something momentous is about to happen, like Horizon: Forbidden West, Shadowlands patch 9.2, and a switch version of Never Alone are all coming out within a week, or when a Tauren Shaman is inexplicably in Dun Morogh and attacks you for your gloves because his hands are super cold.
