The Queue

Danganronpa sure is something else.

The game is technically in the “visual novel” genre, but it has so many unexpected, off-the-wall elements that “visual novel” doesn’t seem to do it justice. It feels like Phoenix Wright crossed with Three Houses crossed with… well, a murderous bear (and then some).

I’ve been watching the Game Grumps playthrough of it, and while some moments make it hard to fully recommend — an entire class trial revolves around some very problematic takes on gender identity, for instance — it’s still been quite the trip. I’m going in completely blind, so I have no idea how it’ll all end, but it continually seems to surprise me. I’m curious if any of y’all have played it and, if so, what you thought.

But enough about that. This is The Queue.

Anna was right, I didn’t even have to click the link to get it stuck in my head.

While I try desperately to get it out, it’s time for — the Queue.

Made you look.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we’re simultaneously incredibly loud and make the earth shake, but will sneak up behind you and whisper the answer in your ear.

I mean, I’m literally not sleeping and am instead writing the Queue for this last Monday of May. Tomorrow is June 1, the launch of Burning Crusade Classic, and I’m almost certainly not gonna sleep once that goes live. I have a thing on Wednesday so Cory will be Queueing that day.

… but not too sleepy to look fabulous in these sunglasses. Never too sleepy to look fabulous.

What can I say, I love a running gag.

Still playing Cyberpunk 2077. I have discovered the joys of a good baseball bat with bolts in.

Come on, I had to. I mean, I had to.

I am seriously starting to worry that I will be playing Cyberpunk 2077 for the rest of my life. It’s getting to AC Odyssey levels of investment, and that game nearly destroyed me. I need help. There isn’t even any DLC out for this thing yet! The sheer amount of side quests in this puts Fallout New Vegas to shame. Heck, it probably has more side quests than FNV, Fallout 3, and maybe even Fallout 4 combined.

It’s a lot.

That’s right, we’re putting behind a fully digital year of distance elementary and preschool, and now my kids are just… directionless urchins who still need my help and guidance at every turn. So, that’s great. At least I don’t need to remember how to do area multiplication ever again.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions, and if they’re about area multiplication, SO HELP ME YOGG…

It’s Victoria Day for us up in Canada (and maybe elsewhere around the world) and we get the whole day off! That just goes to show you how much I really wanted to be here, and not that I wrote this Queue on Sunday evening or anything…

While you all definitely believe me, it’s time for — The Queue.

Really, why would you even think that?
