The Queue

Me?

What have I been up to?

You know, just hanging out. Playing a little game. You probably won’t have heard of it.

Hello and happy Wednesday, friends! Today was one of those days when I woke up in a panic because the first two things I noticed were sunshine from the windows and a dead phone next to me — thankfully, my internal clock internally rocks and I was waking up exactly when I needed to.

…I’m still tired, though. Because of course I am.

Sleepiness aside, this is The Queue, and it’s time for some queuestions.

I cracked this joke in the fabulous Blizzard Watch Discord, and if you think I’m going to let a gem like that go by without rehashing it, you must be new here, hi. One of my favorite things about playing Diablo is being able to juxtapose the gritty, literally dark gore against lighthearted jokes.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions, and we’ll answer them as long as we can slide close enough to the bottom quarter of the wall in this isometric view to actually see them.

Sometimes you get the dragon and sometimes the dragon gets you. After spending all night working on Mythic Kezzara she proved too strong for us and feasted on our — apparently delicious — cries.

This is one of those times that what initially seems like a tiny change going from Heroic to Mythic wound up being a lot stronger than we anticipated. On Mythic if you cross the streams at all the raid takes big damage. So all of a sudden positioning and communication are way more important. There was a level of personal responsibility there to not just instantly kite your laser beam into the nearest puddle and instead make sure that you were going to the best puddle for yourself, which our raiders just weren’t prepared for.

Next time I’m sure!

While I get a quick dungeon in on Diablo to be killed by a different kind of hellfire, it’s time for — The Queue!

I know, some people are already a little burned out on the Diablo hype, so I will try to contain myself in today’s Queue.

Some jokes are just for one person.

This is the Queue.

Derbablo! Derbablo! Derbablo DERBABLO!

It’s Summer Games Done Quick 2023 week, and that means a happy Mitch. Mind you, the last couple weeks have been absolutely jam-packed, but knowing SGDQ is waiting for me… well, that makes it a little easier to get through the day.

We just passed the 500k mark this morning, and, as usual, my only complaint is that I don’t have the whole week to just sit and watch without distractions.

But distractions and Queues there are, so let’s dive in.

Y’all got anything going on today? Any special embargos lifting or whatnot?

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we’re probably phoning it in because you have so much to comb through already anyway.

I’ll just have a quick nap after my raid before writing the Queue — I thought to myself. What’s the worst that could happen?

Well, it’s now very late and I’m still not done.

So while I try and figure out what year it is, it’s time for — The Queue.

Eight questions, eight answers. Sometimes it’s as simple as an acrostic. Other times it’s as complicated as if it came from the far reaches of hell.

This time, though, it’s simple. Let’s go!
