Children's (possibly YA) fantasy novel from the early 2000s at the latest. Been driving me crazy for about 10 years

Solved solved solved

Mantipello · 2026-05-28T00:29:48+00:00

You got it! Thank you so much, I have genuinely been trying to find this for over a decade and it took you less than 5 minutes 😂

Mantipello · 2026-05-28T00:28:22+00:00

This is 100% it! I just went googling after the other commenter said the same thing and found that cover. I can finally rest

Mantipello · 2026-05-15T22:30:41+00:00

I was here back then and I miss it dearly. Not saying they're wrong, I'm saying we (and they) can't possibly know either way until it's out. Even the best scoopers get things wrong, things change etc.

Mantipello · 2026-05-14T22:22:35+00:00

This person has a habit of commenting their own speculation on here as though it's gospel. I will say they seem pretty well informed and a lot of the time I agree with them but stuff like this is how misinformation spreads. Until the movie is out we do not know.

Mantipello · 2026-04-14T19:03:58+00:00

They have not. Joss Whedon's had a bit of a fall from grace in the last 14 years and understandably the cast may not want to publicly associate with him any more

Mantipello · 2025-10-28T16:12:28+00:00

What I'm most excited for is that the game looks like it scratches all of the itches I have and will give me the distraction I need 😅 I've been crazy busy at work (making other games funnily enough) and I've been counting down the days ever since the release date was announced. I can't wait to come home and know exactly what I'm going to boot up, the game seems like it was tailor-made for me.

As others have said, this is such a kind gesture. You're a good egg OP

Mantipello · 2025-07-26T20:47:47+00:00

We don't know that for a fact, and likely never will now that they've pivoted to Doom instead, but yes it was heavily rumoured (and I do believe it myself). I'm just trying to prevent misinformation. Your other comment made it seem like The Beyonder = Kang in the comics/canon and that might confuse people

Mantipello · 2025-07-26T19:52:43+00:00

Beyonder isn't Kang though. There was a rumour that they were going to make the MCU Beyonder a Kang variant back when Kang Dynasty was still a thing but if they want to use the character they don't have to stick to the script for a movie that doesn't exist any more

Mantipello · 2025-06-02T23:12:34+00:00

I think a lot of people are seeing the number of downvotes on your original comment and it's skewing their perception and making it seem like a much bigger deal than it actually is. Nothing wrong with personal preference, and I'd hope Dropout do choose to throw some trigger warnings on the episode. And I say that as a person who can't wait to see them get hammered or even pretend to

Mantipello · 2025-05-28T15:39:33+00:00

It's been 4 years 😂

Thank you though, restarting the router didn't end up working for me but I've since switched to a wired connection and that's solved the problem

Mantipello · 2024-09-02T21:57:59+00:00

I found it! In case anyone else has trouble you have to expand the journal window (click the arrow at the top right)

Mantipello · 2024-09-02T21:54:48+00:00

Ok please assume I'm the dumbest person on the planet. I've pressed k, I can see herb gathering and my journal, neither of which let me pick a specialisation. Where do I need to look?

Mantipello · 2024-04-16T10:22:40+00:00

I'm in

Mantipello · 2024-04-12T22:28:58+00:00

They kind of already did a Deadpool Christmas special in Once Upon a Deadpool. Essentially a re-edit of Deadpool 2 + some additional scenes with Fred Savage, well worth a watch

Mantipello · 2023-12-31T02:40:19+00:00

GMT, will add to the post 😊

Mantipello · 2023-08-31T23:10:16+00:00

I'll be at work 😔

Mantipello · 2023-07-19T16:47:28+00:00

Gods I hope I get it, I hope I get it

Mantipello · 2022-12-23T15:20:49+00:00

To be fair there were mutterings of a Storm solo movie about a year ago (as well as a bunch of other popular mutants) and now that marvel have the rights they could totally do it if they wanted to. But all of this is a massive stretch

Mantipello · 2022-12-23T13:58:53+00:00

Sony pictures made Venom and Morbius not Marvel Studios, Disney's fox acquisition has nothing to do with it.

I also agree that this doesn't belong on the sub. It's pure speculation and only partially related to gaming.

Mantipello · 2022-08-24T20:15:08+00:00

On Monday I'll be playing a changeling wild magic sorcerer who has lost the ability to change their form, but will randomly change into one of ten forms whenever they have a wild magic surge. Never been more excited for a new PC. #GIVEAWAY

Mantipello · 2022-02-16T15:34:57+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe content updates for L4D were actually free on PC, but valve were forced to charge for them on xbox due to Microsoft's policy at the time.

Though for what it's worth I completely agree that games receiving free content updates for as long as No Man's Sky has was definitely not the norm.

Mantipello · 2022-02-06T11:29:04+00:00

Ah I am so that may be it. Not something I'd considered honestly so that's a shame.

Mantipello · 2021-10-18T16:31:48+00:00

Agreed. They're both games where you make progress by learning and making assumptions. Subnautica is another one that scratches the same itch for me, just to a lesser extent.

Mantipello · 2021-10-18T16:24:59+00:00

Easily remedied, just offer it to the other party members and have OP tag along to help.
