Whoa, suddenly the queue got loaded up with a ton of new releases. It's enough that I would have waited a little bit and split this into two groups of eight, but over on the Worlds of ZZT Discord it's clear that we're going to have still more new releases by the end of the month.

Combine that with me uploading unpreserved game's from asie's own queue that I've been streaming recently and it looks like the queue is going to be pretty busy for a bit!
