The Queue

Is there anything you memorized earlier in your life that no longer remains relevant, but for some reason it has burrowed itself so deeply you cannot forget it, and it sometimes pops out in weird ways?

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we devote the tiny part of our brain that isn’t reciting the Greek alphabet to answering.

That’s one dead vampire lady! Or is that re-dead? I’m never quite sure what exactly we’re doing to these Shadowlands entities.

After 103 pulls my group finally got our Mythic Darkvein kill. What an excellent fight! Our kill wound up being so smooth that we were all surprised when she was at 3% and about to die. Now we move onto Artificer Xy’mox and dealing with all three of his mechanics at once! So far the outlook isn’t terrible, but also we’ve only seen the Axe vortex a handful of times, and we haven’t gotten the big overlap yet.

While we try and find another Stampeding Roar or two, it’s time for — The Queue.

Really, I have no idea how it’s Friday. What happened to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday? Where did they go? How did we make our way to this point in time while skipping the intermediary days? It’s a real puzzle.

But since that’s a puzzle I can’t solve, let’s go on to answering some questions, shall we?

While looking at the Surpringisly Palatable Feast in raid after our most recent Lady Darkvein wipes — 4% we’re so close, just need that perfect pull — I noticed what can only be the Banana Beef Pudding on the end. I wouldn’t say it’s the most appetizing-looking thing on the feast, but it does stand out.

While I try to figure out if I want to take a bite, it’s time for — The Queue!

Still playing WoW and Cyberpunk 2077, waiting for AC Valhalla‘s DLC, and kind of still wishing Odyssey would get a series. I’d love to rollick around as Kassandra in Ancient Greece, and maybe even other eras — she canonically lived 2400 years.

This is the Queue. I asked for questions, you provided, and here are some answers.

Oh, and Sibylle — I did have thoughts about your comments on Mythic+, and I wrote a reply, but it kept destroying the Queue so I ended up having to simply reply to you in yesterday’s comments. I’m deeply sorry about that — I don’t know why, but the formatting just wouldn’t let me answer you.

Rutherford was just a little bit jealous at first, but now he and Daisy are practically best buddies. I’d be really excited about this, but apparently they’re having another of their zany screaming contests! So glad they’re bonding over being loud!

So. Glad.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and if we get a quiet moment to ourselves we’ll answer them.

Man, that would be a really great idea for a movie huh? They could have a knock-down brawl in the middle of cities while terrified civilians scream their names and run away. Knowing Hollywood though they’d probably mess it up by including too much time spent with ordinary humans when all the audience really wants to see is the giant monsters.

While I double-check to see if anyone has done this before, it’s time for — The Queue.

Bawk bawk, buh-gok!

It’s — The Queue.

It has been one crazy week after another here, but A Thing™ I’ve been helping work on for a while finally made its way out into the world last night, and it’s been cool watching people react to and devour said thing. (Sadly, I still have to keep details brief for now.)

Anyhow, I’ve also been playing FFXIV a bit again, and, hoo boy, is that game a trip. I appreciate Square’s willingness to let it just be weird sometimes.

But enough about that. Let’s Queue.

So just yesterday a murderer was convicted thanks to a herculean effort by a lot of people to overcome systemic racism, Jeff Kaplan left Blizzard, Jim Steinman died, and a whole lot more besides. It was a big day. On a personal front, I went to the doctor and found out I’m doing better health wise than I thought, which was nice, although I’m still a weird mutant who produces way too much iron. Sadly, it’s enough iron to make me sick, but not enough to grow steel hard skin or anything like that.

Anyway, let’s chat about Blizzard and games and stuff.
