So if I gave anyone a key to Defender's Quest 2, well, it's out now.

Frank

Feb 1 04:48

Not sticking around long, but I recall handing out some Christmas gifts some oh...twelve years ago, that finally got released.

Frank

Feb 1 04:48

Hey hey, everybody. Long time no see.

Frank

Sep 4, 2020 18:13

Goodbye to all.

Frank

Sep 4, 2020 18:13

Most of you know how to reach me if you want to keep in touch.

Frank

Sep 4, 2020 18:12

But all things must end, and for me, it's time.

Frank

Sep 4, 2020 18:12

This place has been awesome, and I'm glad I got to meet so many of you in person.

Frank

Sep 4, 2020 18:11

But the long and short of it is that I'm stepping down and walking away.

Frank

Sep 4, 2020 18:11

Hey, everybody. I haven't been around for a while, and there's lots of reasons why.

Frank

Aug 14, 2020 15:15

Shhh.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 15:13

@GnomeSlice !!! That's a big step.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 14:58

I'm hoping to finish my hobby room so I can binge watch while building gunpla.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 14:58

I have too much to watch, and not enough time to watch most of it.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 14:35

People just want to watch their favorite shows, y'know? Nobody signed up for complex math and organization.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 14:34

Now we're in the same situation where people have to pick and choose, and it leads to a lot of frustration.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 14:34

The same way people used to sit down and figure out which package had what shows.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 14:33

@Nzall One of the beauties of original streaming was that you didn't have to figure out who had what.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 14:28

Credit for pic goes to this tweet

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 14:24

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 14:21

Which is sending a lot of people back to piracy; quick, easy, and don't have to figure out which carries what shows.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 14:21

But with all the fragmentation and exclusives, it's just leading to consumer frustration.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 14:20

One of the advantages of streaming was that it was cheaper than pay tv.

@TimStone Saying the quiet things out loud again.

Frank

Aug 12, 2020 20:33

Trump is killing the very people that support him. And kids are collateral damage.

Frank

Aug 12, 2020 20:33

@Yuuki The logic train is just mind-boggling.

Frank

Aug 12, 2020 20:06

@MadScientist Mostly an observation of how teens are walking germ factories.

Frank

Aug 12, 2020 19:54

And spraying down the lockers every five minutes with sanitizer.

Frank

Aug 12, 2020 19:53

I can see opening if there's incredible levels of enforcement.

Frank

Aug 12, 2020 19:53

@MadScientist Doing it without being able to distance in the classroom is a problem, even.

Frank

Aug 12, 2020 19:52

"Hey, let's all go back to school! Have to get that learning in!" opens for a week, closes for a month

Frank

Aug 12, 2020 19:51

@MadScientist Does no one realize that opening schools now just means they get closed for even longer in just a short time?

Frank

Aug 12, 2020 13:37

@BradC Banning it from visitors is a simple logic process: if these sheep are scared, they won't bother making complaints about blue overreach.

Frank

Aug 12, 2020 13:30

@BradC Like Florida's not bad enough with covid.

Frank

Aug 11, 2020 23:01

It's a GOP mouthpiece.

Frank

Aug 11, 2020 23:01

@Wipqozn FCC has been trash since Wheeler resigned.

Frank

Aug 11, 2020 22:31

@TimStone It's always those kinds of people that think the rules weren't made for him.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 03:08

Well, let this help guide you on how to proceed in the future.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 03:01

And in the future, please don't encourage someone to delete their question because it doesn't follow your plan.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 03:01

If you can, try to improve the question as well. If it's supposed to be a canonical, nothing says we can't make that happen with what's already there.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 02:59

Then by all means, do so.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 02:58

I can't tell you what to do; I'm not enough of an expert in Minecraft to say.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 02:57

And using that organization to gang up on someone trying to help? Not nice.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 02:56

Rules are awesome. I love rules. But rules are made for a reason.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 02:56

So throw the plan out the window and accommodate unexpected scenarios.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 02:54

Can't you just...add another answer to that question?

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 02:54

To be perfectly honest, @pppery's question shouldn't have been posted; you're trying to game the system, following the letter while breaking the spirit.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 02:53

I'll leave that to the Minecraft experts to answer; I don't understand enough about any of it to say.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 02:52

But it's not okay to organize against someone trying to help.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 02:51

Okay. Let's get something straight: it's awesome that you're organizing to straighten out this whole Minecraft mess.

Frank

Aug 13, 2020 02:51

@Frank To keep the system the same. We've already decided that I, pppery and cherryblossom would be posting the official canonicals in a meta discussion. I refuse to stray from the path for this one exception. — ExpertCoder14 29 secs ago
