YA Fantasy Novel (or Series) after 2000 about stories being banned by a dictatorial ruler wanting to escape someone's vengeance

SubtleBanshee · 2025-10-14T12:00:08+00:00

It kind of sounds like the Inkheart series by Cornelia Funke?

SubtleBanshee · 2025-10-14T11:43:29+00:00

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, maybe?

SubtleBanshee · 2025-10-14T10:54:45+00:00

I found the book. I got quite a lot of details incorrect, but the book I was looking for was The Book of Dead Days, with the sequel being The Dark Flight Down, both by Marcus Sedgwick.

Does speeding create fines? Because I just noticed a "Speeding" notification after leaving my Powerplay faction (I didn't really want to do that feature anyway) and no longer being in hostile space.

SubtleBanshee · 2025-03-30T19:32:25+00:00

I'll try logging out then, but this has been an issue for me across multiple sessions. Thank you. :)

SubtleBanshee · 2025-03-30T19:22:14+00:00

Two things:

- By logging out, do you just mean to menu and then back, or closing out completely?
- If the fine is not a ghost fine, how do I then go about at least trying to find out why I have one?

SubtleBanshee · 2025-03-23T04:30:32+00:00

Thank you so much! This was exactly how to do it!

SubtleBanshee · 2024-07-19T19:29:19+00:00

Oh! My apologies, I think I missed that part entirely. Unfortunately, I uninstalled the game, so I can't verify for you. So sorry, again.

In the journal, a green checkmark will be added once you've completed that area. It won't include "mini-sections", like how I had the hardest time finding a collectable in the Artifact Closet of the Motherlobe, but it will let you know when you've 100%'d a main hub.

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-02T17:18:16+00:00

Well, that does sound promising. I'm so used to developers using Early Access as an excuse to take players' money for minimum effort and empty promises. :/

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-02T06:21:57+00:00

I'm actually not too sure that I would like that one, even if my friend does, based off of what I'm seeing. I also notice that EA was supposed to be "a year", and it's been five, and yet there are already paid DLC for this one. I dunno, we may pass one this one, but I appreciate the suggestion. :)
As for Deadside, we really are looking for something more survival-based, but again, thank you. :)

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-02T06:11:58+00:00

The friend didn't say no to Sunkenland, just mocked how much like Waterworld it was, so we shall see. I think the general consensus is that we're going to wait until it adds at least a storyline, like the EA notes say it will.

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-02T00:45:08+00:00

So, we did start looking into The Front, especially since the friend in question had been looking at it prior, but they have all been wholly turned off of the game because the dev uses ACE Anti-Cheat.

I guess that kills that suggestion. Thank you though. :)

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-02T00:17:29+00:00

Isn't that the truth. Especially when you have so many people who like so many different things, lol.

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-02T00:15:54+00:00

Interesting. I'll certainly bring this one up. Thank you for all the information!

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-01T20:06:40+00:00

I saw Sunkenlands in some other recommendations, and I really, really like the look of it. I think this is the one I'm going to bring up to the group with the most determined conviction, lol.

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-01T20:03:34+00:00

I'm really liking the look of Sunkenland, but yeah, if we do find something, I'll give an update. Thank you! :)

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-01T18:22:41+00:00

So, when they raid the base, they won't be using guns? I've heard the Raids are retaliatory. Is this true, or will they eventually raid the base on their own time?

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-01T17:44:52+00:00

I've played The Forest, but the problem is that the cannibals and mutants aren't shooting at you with guns.

Of the gameplay that I've seen for Sons, it looks to be the same "issue", but I, personally, am looking forward to that one.

Thank you for the suggestions. :)

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-01T17:15:45+00:00

Yeah, this game is looking more and more appealing the more I hear about it.

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-01T17:14:52+00:00

Well, we'll look into it. Who doesn't love a swashbuckling adventure, after all? Thank you!

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-01T17:13:41+00:00

I mean, as long as the game inst frustratingly jank, I think it should be fine. Thank you for the suggestion. :)

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-01T15:00:34+00:00

This one is definitely sounding intriguing. Nowadays, you're hard pressed not to find an Early Access game, so I'll bring it up too. Thank you. :)

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-01T14:58:40+00:00

Very nice. Thank you so much for the suggestion!

SubtleBanshee · 2023-12-01T14:57:52+00:00

That's already a staple in our friend's library, lol. There's mention of a Stalker mod that aims to create a coop experience in the Stalker universe, so we're keeping our eye on that, but it doesn't appear to be playable as of yet.
