Midnight's patch 12.0.5 added several Void-themed world events that involve repelling the leftover void forces that are still wreaking havoc across Eversong Woods and Zul'Aman: Void Strikes, Void Incursions, and Ritual Sites.

Nobody tell Rutherford, whose middle initial does not stand for bear, that I’ve been doing Prey with my cat. It’s bound to be awkward and all, but come on, Leech. Be cool, okay?

Also, what’s the deal with Spirit Beasts. I understand that they don’t want their healing to be too OP, but I swear, one 30 second cooldown heals me for maybe .5% health over 10 seconds. I’d report this as a bug but I’ve been feeling exceptionally suspicious as to whether things are genuinely bugs, or if I’m just doing everything wrong.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the Queues, and we’ll answer .5% of them.

Bungie is releasing the last content update for Destiny 2 on June 9, 2026, officially ending active development for the game and effectively sunsetting the original franchise after a 12-year run that began in September 2014.

This week's World of Warcraft maintenance is relatively quick for most realms, with just an hour of downtime scheduled for all servers except Midnight.

In this week's Tavern Watch Podcast, we're discussing Daggerheart, the much-hyped TTRPG from Darrington Press and Critical Role which is celebrating its first anniversary.

My favorite person and I wandered around a pop art gallery today. It was full of some great pieces involving interesting perspectives, drunken olives who were also pirates, cowboys painted from interesting angles, and more lovely portraits of celebrities and public figures than you can count. It reinforced two things: one, neither of us makes enough money to buy large original art despite how cool it would look on our walls, and two, who knew the world needed so many olive people paintings.

The standouts that we saw, and lamented not being able to buy the most, were a series from a local artist of astronauts and hot dogs in space. There was a fantastic piece that was extra wide and skinny, which was just an astronaut on the moon, with a hot dog cart, and nothing else. For some reason, it spoke to us. Maybe it was the absurdity, maybe it was our love of hot dogs — all I know is that it would be fantastic hanging above my TV, but sadly, I don’t have the two weeks’ wages to spend on whimsical art.

While I look into a set of burglars tools, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

We're between content releases for most Blizzard games right now, so it's a quiet week...

Rumor has it that Conjured Mana Cupcakes contain zero calories. I believe it. A. F. Kay is constantly eating the stuff (while her teammates get eaten by Sindragosa or what-have-you), yet she maintains an impeccable figure regardless.

…then again, she has the exact same figure as every single other Human Female in the game. Hmmm. 🤔

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we give a lot of thought to important questions such as the metaphysics of mana food and the (im)possibilities of using time magic for infinite nourishment.

This week we tell Crest Caps to rest in pieces as Blizzard lifts them a bit early in this opening section of Midnight.

Now that we're a few months into Midnight and we've had a chance to hit the new level cap and gear up, many players are looking to take a bit of a break from the constant onslaught of powerful enemies and spend some downtime in less dangerous regions of Azeroth.
