Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.


The Queue: I finally have internet

So yeah, my wife and I moved this week and today — the very Friday you would presumably be reading this Queue — is the first real day of being able to access the internet on my PC. So many updates trying to start all at once. I downloaded the PC beta for Diablo Immortal, and while I think it’s got some issues, like a glaring problem with the controller sensitivity that no amount of tinkering has yet fixed for me, I also think it’s superior to the tablet version. I’ve played both, and I generally prefer the game on PC.

Seriously, the character creation for DI is amazing. That is way more than I was expecting.

Anyway, it’s the Queue, let us do the thing.


The Queue: Orcinus if you’re nasty

Orcinus Orca, the predatory toothed whale that is the largest member of the Delphinidae, or Dolphins, is one of the world’s best hunters. While not the largest predatory whale — the Sperm Whale or Physeter macrocephalus has that title — it’s fair to say that the title of Killer Whale is one that Orcinus Orca has earned. They are an intelligent pack hunter who range throughout the world’s oceans. You can find Orca in the Arctic, Antarctic, and the tropics, and in the waters between these extremes.
