Any community that’s been around as long as we have will have some degree of associated lore. Some of it is tidbits about the people themselves — how Cory loves the muppets, or how Mitch is Mitch. But there are some aspects that are a little more intangible. One of those is broadly classed as The Site Curse. This usually manifests in having the Queue break in weird technical ways, but is also associated in some way with the people, and how news just seem to always happen when we’re all indisposed in some way. For instance, I planned a trip to London thinking I was safe, and oops, those are the same dates Diablo 4 dropped their first expansion. Sorry! I’ll try to be less cursed next time.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions, and we’ll hopefully supply some answers, assuming the column saves properly.
