The Queue: Heterodoxy and Uchronia
by Matthew Rossi on August 12, 2021 at 12:00pm @MatthewWRossi
I really worry sometimes that I’m reflexively at odds with whatever seems to me the most popular or prevailing attitude about things in a reflexive manner. Opposing things simply because other people believe them is no better than embracing them simply because everyone else does, after all. Your opinions should be the result of time and rumination, not simply to be contrary. I’ve often been opposed to nostalgia and group thinks, but I see others out in the world today being reflexively opposed to things that are, by and large, so overwhelmingly true that one has to really go through mental gymnastics to disbelieve them, and I never want to be like that.
Heterodoxy shouldn’t be habitual, after all. It leads to rejecting popular ideas simply because they are popular, and not based on their relative merits or lack thereof, something I would not want to indulge in.
It’s early in the morning and I’ve got my playlist of writing music on repeat, so let’s do this. Let’s Queue this? That feels kind of corny.
What draws you to a remastered game?

The Queue: The violent overthrow of tyranny is the essence of liberty
by Matthew Rossi on August 11, 2021 at 11:59am @MatthewWRossi
In yesterday’s Queue, a hellish vision of evil was presented to us wherein I, and others of my ilk, would have been bound into actually having to participate in Pet Battles. The only way to prevent such a nightmare was to overthrow the tyrant responsible and seize control of the Queue, and I have now done so. Tomorrow we march forward into a bright future where nobody has to know anything about why a little turnip can somehow fight a werewolf and a sparkly dragon and come out victorious.
Pet Battles will always be the best system in WoW entirely because I never, ever have to take part in them.

Questlines added plenty of combos to Hearthstone, but the game might not be prepared for them

There’s a difference between feedback and harassment, and sometimes players forget what it is
