The Queue: Hello!

Good afternoon, Queue! I will be your host today, and am going to be making a permanent swap to doing the Queue on Wednesday because I keep getting really busy on Thursday/Friday which has occasionally resulted in late Queues. (Definitely not just because I’m staying up to watch Critical Role, I am legitimately very busy at the end of the week, definitely.)

But enough about me. How are you all doing? Let’s answer some questions, Queue.


The Queue: A peaceful stop

I’ve been having a bit of a love/hate relationship with cozy games of late, because to me there can be a fine line between smoothing over the rougher edges of reality and utterly obliterating them to the extent that it seems like a cruel mockery of lived experience. I’ve enjoyed Wanderstop so far, and part of that is that there’s clearly some kind of magic surrounding the tea shop, where you don’t have to worry about your expertise as a tea seller or the solvency of the shop. The other is that this is a temporary escape, a short respite to breathe deep, enjoy your surroundings and the tea, and then move on. Of course, the escapism is that you get to move on when you’re ready and only then, but who’s counting.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and just sit for a minute. Listen to the birds. It’ll be okay.
