Happy Thursday, folks! It’s holiday season and… well, right now it’s actually in the 60s and very windy so it doesn’t exactly feel like mid-December, but hey, it’s still technically that time of year.

Coincidentally, a lot of today’s questions are themed around the holidays! So let’s dive in, shall we?

Queuedolph, with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my Queue tonight (in some parts of the world)?

Sometimes it's as simple as hey, you get to raise dinosaurs.

There's been a lot of talk recently about fantasy racism in D&D (and plenty of other fantasy games), some of it by us.

Kassandra wouldn’t be caught dead going on vacation without it.

Y’all, the new Odyssey DLC is wild. It really puts a spotlight on Kassandra’s role in the greater lore of the franchise and gives me hope that they might eventually reveal she’s not as dead as we think she is. But even if they don’t, it’s still a really cool little DLC. I’ll be trying the Valhalla one next, will report on that next chance I get.

It’s the Queue. I am so very tired. It’s -29 C outside my house today and it’s gonna get colder all week.

This week, we explore the many lore implications of the WoW patch 9.2 Sylvanas cinematic that Blizzard released this week.

Big open world RPGs could be used to defeat me if I ever became a threat to all life.

It's been almost a month since Hearthstone Battlegrounds received a major new balancing element aimed at making the game more fair: the Hero armor system, where heroes who have what are considered to be "weaker" hero powers start the game with a certain amount of extra armor to compensate for that power discrepancy.

If you're working on the Mage Tower in Shadowlands and you've been eyeing the clock, worried you won't get it done before Legion Timewalking ends, you just got a good deal more time.

Did you ever recommend a game a whole lot to (almost) literally everyone, and then they immediately turn around and recommend a different game to you, but you’re already busy playing the game you keep telling (almost) literally everyone to play that you really don’t want to play their game? And yes, even the standalone content, like the soundtrack, is superb to the extent it gives you frisson chills, and gives you a real sense of the game to boot? And then everyone else is like, “but Bugsnax is so fun!” and you’re just real tired all of a sudden?

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions, and you should definitely play The Long Dark, and then maybe we’ll answer.

This is something I don't think I've ever even heard of a game doing -- Ubisoft Quebec announced via Twitter that they're releasing two new Assassin's Creed DLC simultaneously, with the announcement happening the day before the DLC drop.
