A quick update: I have not gone away, nor has this page or my YouTube, BitChute and Facebook pages. However, at the moment I am finding it difficult to get traction for my videos and I must conclude that, for now, there isn't much (if any) audience for the videos I have been producing. Therefore, it's only fair to ask people not to subscribe at present, but to ask that if you are interested then please post a comment or send me an email to let me know of your interest. I will then ramp up the activity to justify your interest and putative subscription.

Thank you,

Captain F.

If you have found your way to this page and are thinking about subscribing, then firstly, thank you very much. 

You will see that my content updates have been sporadic recently, and that is mainly because I haven't achieved much traction with this site yet.  All the things I had planned for this site are temporarily in suspension until the site starts receiving more traffic.  Once it does, then I will crank up my output and make it worth every single penny that subscribers contribute to the site.

Regards,

Captain F

Latest update...

Hulkie and I have done a stream of Cacti Canyon in Minecraft Dungeons and Grounded (https://youtu.be/ZhTacq2wCXA). It would appear that the graphics detail in Grounded was such that my stream settings couldn't handle the amount of data that was being streamed so I am going to look at lowering the bit rate to enable me to do a proper stream or review of Grounded thus far.

Last week I finally found out how to set up an undersized group for dungeons in Final Fantasy XIV. I can now use this to level up and train my Blue Mage. I'm looking at doing a stream/recorded video for this game too, but just need to consider what subject matter and how best to approach it.

Anyway, I'm keeping this short today as I'm celebrating a significant birthday.

I'll be back soon.

This morning my profile was approved so I'm posting my first message to bring you up-to-date with the current state of gaming in the Captain Frandad bubble.

At the moment my current game playing includes Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV); No Man's Sky (NMS); Ghost of Tsushima (GoT); and Grounded (Game Preview version). I'd welcome feedback on which of these should be the subject of my next series of videos as I'm a bit undecided at present.

Of these games I think GoT is my current favourite and has some very emotional storylines in it. FFXIV also has some very good story lines, but I've not felt the same emotional pull I get from GoT. I know there is currently some gaming rage in the form of a battle between fans of Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us Part 2 (TLOU2), but from what I've seen and read of TLOU2 it won't be a game I'll be buying: I don't want to play a game that seems to be deliberately designed to make its players miserable and uncomfortable, which seems to be a big reaction to that game so far.  So, I won't be getting involved in the GoT v TLOU2 debate. No thanks.

For the "Plus 1" series, Hulkie and I are gradually working our way through the dungeons in Minecraft Dungeons. We already have Soggy Swamp done and uploaded https://youtu.be/qE5DzLbJBnI, and I'm editing Pumpkin Pastures with a view to releasing w/c 17.08.20 - subscribers will get three days early access to the video.

Whilst I'm here, can I draw your attention to part 10 of my Stellaris series https://youtu.be/aHXQOmsG6TY. Although this is the final video in the series and will therefore give some spoilers for earlier videos in the series, it is the one that I have fully and properly narrated, and I would welcome feedback on whether that style is one I should use more often going forward.

Well, that's it for now. Thanks again.
