t3_ij4hd8 | -So the book I'm thinking of is about a 10 or 11 year old boy who's king of his country. At one point he sneaks off to the war and is in the trenches. There's a child parliament that he implements. At some point he goes to the desert. I'm fairly certain he dies at the end of the book, but I could be wrong. It was a book about children, but I don't think it was a children's book. I'm also not entirely certain on the era.

t3_cyjm8t | -Back in 2018 it was reported by Jon Schnepp that Tom Holland was seen on the set of Venom shooting a cameo as Peter Parker but when Venom released in October 2018 fans dismissed this as a fake rumor. But now that Spiderman is out of the MCU more details are emerging about Venom and its ties to the MCU. Like for example, Kevin Fiege was secretly overseeing Venom. One big detail though is that Tom Holland did in fact shoot a cameo for Venom. The cameo was shot due to Venom's test screenings were doing poorly. Now that Spiderman is out of the MCU is there a chance that the cameo could be released to the public or will it be forever held in Sony's archives.
-Spiderman is back in the MCU, so...
-Yeah i don't think we're gonna see this scene anymore
-feels bad man
-The Feige stuff means absolutely nothing IMO. Want to know what other Marvel films he lent an 'unofficial hand' to? All of them prior to the MCU. It was because of those filmmakers dismissing his suggestions or concerns that led to the creation of the MCU where Marvel could do what they wanted without studios casting them aside.
-Well negotiations are back on between Sony and Disney now, at least that’s what I’ve heard
-Got any links to these claims, i have heard people say this kind of stuff, well not the Fiege stuff but the others. Got any sources?
-Got it for you

-Cyndaquil
-I'm not a huge Pokemon person. But I have never heard of this one. It absolutely sounds like a prescription medication!! 🤣
What is his power? Excellent cough suppression and mild analgesic.
Sorry if this is a stupid question - but how many Pokemon are there in total?
-905 as of the most recent game which came out less than a week ago.
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_National_Pok%C3%A9dex_number
It's also not at all a stupid question. The answer I gave is based on the national Pokédex, meaning the master list of all main Pokémon across all regions. There are regional variants, different forms and a whole bunch of stuff you could take into account. If you did, the number would obviously be higher. But 905 is probably the most straightforward answer at the moment.
The thing that's slightly debatable is whether 901 through 905 are regional variants because they're based on other Pokémon. I think they belong as part of the total though because not only do they look different from the Pokémon they're based on, they also have a different name. Regional variants are typically named the same but with the region as a qualifier (eg Ponyta is a Gen 1 Pokémon, but Galarian Ponyta appears in Sword/Shield). 901 through 905 have similar but distinct names (903, for example, is Sneasler, based on Sneasel from Gen 2).
This is probably way more info than you ever wanted or needed, but there it is. Haha.
-It's a fire Pokemon. [Here a picture of it is.](https://legends.pokemon.com/assets/pokemon/pokemon_cyndaquil.png)
-898
-This made me spit out my Drink
-The best boi.
-Ask your trainer if Cyndaquil is right for you.
-With Cyndaquil no more Pikahchoo
-Man, ever take just a bit too much Cyndaquil and end up posting some weird stream of conciousness shit to twitter?
-This deserves more love. Genuine chuckle over here.

-Holy shit I was going through a list of every pokemon, youre a lifesaver
-Bruv didn't even make it to Gen 2 omg
-Lol if it wasn't cyndaquil I was gonna say excadrill haha
-Lmao this one goes straight into my favorite tomt of all time
-[deleted]
-No it doesn’t. A perfect rhyme has to match exactly from the last stressed vowel. Aerodactyl’s rhymes end with /-æktl̩/, not /-ɪl/.
-[deleted]
-That doesn't rhyme.
-That user needs someone to explain how rhymes work
-Cyndaquil rhymes with Benadryl? I don’t get your point?
-Probably was thinking of NyQuil
-I thought op was asking about offbrand Bienedrill, the German version of Beedrill
(this is a joke, I don't know the German name for Beedrill)
-In case you'd like to know the actual German name for "Beedrill", it's "Bibor"
-Oh neat, thank you! I like mine better but hey, whatever works \s. Not sure why I was downvoted but hey the internet be like that sometimes :')

-Congratulations, you have been given 1 point for solving this post!

-Perhaps Excadrill?
Dialga, maybe Buzwole?
There's lots of 'mons now
-Excadrill.
-Aromatise
-Larvesta?
-Ask your doctor about Larvesta^®
-I didn't think I could get rid of the centipedes in my vagina, but then I talked to my doctor about Larvesta. Larvesta targets and kills the larvae of vagina-dwelling centipedes, eliminating them at their source.
-Ask your doctor about Koffing.
-I remember the first time I heard this I instantly thought it sounded like a medication.
-Me too! Lol I mean, Lunesta is a sleep medication.
-Deoxys?
-Thats a Pokemon Name? That Sounds Like a drug
-DNA inspired pokemon
-Nope, but that is a cool-ass name

t3_iolwya | -Ok so I just heard the song Sophie by Arlo parks and there’s this lyric ‘suffocate and slip’ and I swear I have definitely heard another song with this lyric in it but google shows nothing. I remember it being something like ‘until I suffocate and slip...’ and I can’t really remember what genre it was, maybe rock, maybe folk. May have been like spoken word/rap, like ghostpoet or Kate tempest.
I definitely remember hearing this in another song, I remember being struck by those specific lyrics. Maybe they were worded slightly differently but I remember it as ‘until I suffocate and slip’.
Please help!! Maybe it was a local band or something and that’s why I can’t find it.

Lebanon Hanover: Just like Molchat Doma with a female vocal. They have really dark and gloomy songs
She Past Away: They are the Sultans Of Darkwave (They are from Turkey) In my opinion they make the best music in this genre. Their album "Belirdi Gece" is their best. I am %100 sure that you will love it
-VoX LoW
-Siekiera - Nowa Aleksandria
-The Chameleons
-Russian post-punk: Motorama, Utro, Human Tetris, Buerak

**Estimated year of release: mid-late 2000s**
**Graphics/art style: cartoonish/ drawn 2d models of characters that appeared in the corner while bowling**
**Notable characters: little kid (Elias?) that was a bowling child prodigy**
**Notable gameplay mechanics: traveled to different bowling alleys to beat different characters, might have had powerups/ different bowling balls but its very hazy for me, the characters said little things to you throughout the game (talked about eating fries a lot)**
**Other details: one of the locations had Happy Union in the title, one might have also been called Skeeter Junction, Might have been downloaded and played off of a website like BigFishGames,**

t3_ba8ufq | -I'm looking for a mobile RPG that involves you trying to search/save/bond with the elemental spirits such as Undine and Ifrit, and they act as guardian spirts maybe even held in gemstones, it would have been available around 2007 or so. It was so fun and I used to play it on my mom's ipod touch back then, just trying to see if anyone has a clue what I'm taking about.
Ps. It's not Summoners War or Tales of Phantasia, or in
the Mana series
UPDATE: THE GAME MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE THE WORD INERTIA IN IT
-I do believe it has to do with Mana but not specifically in the title, and again this game was only on IOS/mobile. No consoles, not a Ds/GBA/PS/Xbox/PC
-This sounds like one of the Seiken Densetsu/"of Mana" games. There were a ton of mobile/handheld versions over the years. This list might help:

t3_7b26wb | -I used to play this all the time, but I can't find it on the App Store anymore. Does anyone know what it was called? The entire game was just you getting your car to the flag or some marker of the end, by drawing a course for your car to go through.
-Jelly Car?
-No, I played jelly car as well, and it's not what I'm looking for. Same sort of feel though.
-Perhaps it has some words in the title like Draw or Doodle or Car
-I search around a bit more.
-Sounds like Line Rider.
-I couldn't find that one on the App Store. Sounds kind of familiar though.

t3_p8ylfy | -Hello! I need help trying to find an old Minecraft role-play video/series that I used to re-watch a lot as a kid. Keep in mind that I was a child so full recollection of the video/series is difficult but I do remember certain details that I hope can help find the videos. To start off, these videos were on YouTube and although I can't remember what year it was when I watched the videos but I would have to guess around 2011. The role-play series I think had 2 or 3 parts and was all shot in the POV of the main character. The video starts from a black screen that fades into the main character waking up in what I think was his apartment. He woke up from his red bed and a big detail that I do remember was that the floor was made of smooth stone slabs. Anyways, he steps out of his apartment complex and enters the city. This is where my memory goes kinda blank. I don't remember what he did when he entered the city but it might have been just basic things such as looking around the big city and interacting with some of the locals that lived there. Then a disaster struck the city. I can't remember what exactly the disaster was but it was on the lines of an earthquake, bombs, or a zombie outbreak. Well the point is that there was now chaos in the city and the main character was panicking and trying to find safety. The main character then comes across a mysterious character that tells him to follow him. The mysterious character then tells the main character to follow him into a hole in the ground. The main character follows him and then the first video ends. I bearly remember the other videos in the series but I do remember one detail which was that the two characters were now in a secret underground "government base." Sorry if my details were very unsure but that's because I can't say with 100% certainty if my childhood memories are completely correct but I'm confident that the details I gave were enough for hopefully someone to find the video/series.

t3_rnb1qn | -I read this book in 2016. It was a fiction and if i remember it had a dark cover. It was a new serie about a girl who had to move because there was a killer after her. Her family and her moved to this island and it was difficult to get to, because they had to take a boat and it did not go there a lot. When she gets there, she seems to be the only one who remembers the people who disapears on this island.

t3_hyfet0 | -WTW for killing yourself accidentlly. Where the act is intentional, but suicide is not. (Don't believe it'll kill you.
What is to suicide as Involuntary manslaughter is to murder.
-the example I think of is when that woman drank a shit ton of water for that radio station competition and died, no one realized doing that could be lethal. i would go with accidental death as well.
-I think of someone who thinks they can fly and jumps.
-Hold my beer?
-Death by misadventure
-I don’t know that there is a word that covers exactly that because jumping from a burning building and misreading medicine instructions are very different things that would both fall into this category.
-say, someone who thinks they can fly and jumps.
-If it's the result of spectacularly poor decision-making, it's called a Darwin Award.
-If you accidentally choke yourself to death because you’re trying for the orgasm high it’s: auto erotic asphyxiation
That’s the only circumstance I know of that has an actual name vs just accidental death.
-"if I die happy the situation will be
auto erotic asphyxiation"
-The most frequent phrase is forced suicide.
-Negligent self-homicide
-I love this
-Competing for a Darwin award.
-Accidental death
But I like your word 'involuntary suicide' much better...lmao :)
-Accidental death?

t3_pzqd5e | -Older looking cover. Either antlers or like a stylized fantasy helmet with antlers. The cover always looked a bit more dark fantasy than usual for more of a children's/young adult book. Thank you for the help.
I remember seeing this book at the public library in 2004-2005.

-My copy of {{The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander}} has the “horned king” character on the front of it. Could that be it? The Book of Three is the first of the Prydain series.

-The Inheritors by William Golding.

t3_ibtkae | -It was a ps2 game, had a ninja-samurai type vibe. I remember orbs or maybe power orbs being something important to it, and I specifically remember one of the maps was in front of a waterfall and you were fighting on the cliffs right in front of it. There was a story mode too. I’m not too sure about the year but I’m fairly certain it was on ps2.

It was like smash Brothers featuring characters from all onimusha games. 4 player I think.

I had it on ps2. Might have been xbox as well.
-yes! Dude, thank you! I remember playing this with my older brother. This is awesome to be able to put a name to it.
-No problem!
Not being able to remember something is the WORST!
-The funniest part imo is in my memory the graphics were great and the characters looked so real. Then I see it and it looks like every other ps2 game.
-Yup. That happens to me. Gotta remember though. Ps2 games looked better on CRT tvs. Most videos online are going to be digital recordings. They just feel off.
I wish I still had a CRT for retro gaming.

I just saw a clip of an old music video that plays at work and I don’t know who’s it is. I caught the very end of it, so here’s what I saw:
A really pale white man (possibly with white hair) looked like he was screaming while a white woman singing with a red filter on the camera so she appears red and orange. A blue figure of a man (fully blue, no filter, and it could be early CGI) starts to fade in (opacity-wise, if that makes sense) and get bigger to take up the screen.
That’s all I got. Hopefully that was enough, please drop links! I’m fairly certain it was the 80s, definitely not from the 21st century.
-Could it be something by Japan, or Billy Idol?
-I was wondering if it was Billy Idol, I’ll check him and Japan tonight after work if I don’t see the video again.
-[Peter Schilling - The Different Story](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ3cHxO99Cg)?
Edit: nevermind, this didn't have those colors you described
-Great song! But no this isn’t it. The man I’m talking about is WHITE white. Like literally powdered white.

t3_npyvoe | -This is my first time posting on here so I'll try my best and no it is not Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. From what I remember, for sure there are multiple books in the series. One of the covers had a humanoid creature holding a lantern with its tongue sticking out, it was a black and white cover with a *sketchy* look to it but very grainy. One of the stories was about a boy being sent to the principal's office who gets a laser pointed at him and gets disintegrated. Another story was a girl getting replaced by her doppleganger.
-Looks like it's [Dare to be Scared 4](https://books.google.com/books/about/Dare_to_Be_Scared_4.html?id=s3ZwPgAACAAJ)
The summary mentions the Principal's Office.
From Amazon-
>In this new addition to the series, author Robert D. San Souci and illustrator David Ouimet join forces to present 13 deliciously frightening tales. Elements of urban legend and folklore are utilized to weave powerful and suspenseful (yet age-appropriate) stories that young readers are sure to revisit, finding new meaning — and shivers — with each reading. In Dare to Be Scared 4, the stories range from "Fairy Godmother" to "A Really Scary Story" that should bear a label warning: Books can be dangerous! In "Snow Day," Connor soon discovers that you can't make big magic without paying for it big time. It's best to have a flashlight for under-the-covers story-reading that reveals what's really behind the closed doors of the "Principal's Office," on the railroad tracks at dusk in "Heading Home," and the eerie fate of 13-year-old Peter in "Moonrise." David Ouimet's unique scratchboard illustrations and Robert San D. Souci's compelling prose make this a welcome jaunt through the world of ghosts and ghouls along with the children trying to escape their clutches!
Edit- You dern kids updating your posts while I'm searching! /waves cane
-Yeah so I finally found the series of books I was looking for:
[Dare to be Scared](https://toppsta.com/books/series/5323/dare-to-be-scared)
-Solved!
-You cannot award a point to yourself. If someone else gave you the answer, please reply to their comment. If you thought of it yourself, no action is needed.
-It reminds me of the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series, but I don't recall many of the stories inside.
Info - Were there illustrations inside as well, or was it just the cover?
-i have the books and there isn’t a story about a kid getting disintegrated via principal laser - i thought the same thing until i saw that part.
-Yes, there were illustrations inside as well, the illustrations are more defined and detailed compared to the abstract minimal style of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
Edit: It for sure wasn't Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

I could only really remember one scene and I think it was an obscure kids book so I'm not surprised it didn't get found, but it has never stopped bugging me!!

-I don’t really know why, but your description is giving me strong Garth Nix vibes.

-I'd still love to find the one about the [Obituary Obsessed Father](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/i48r3h/ya_novel_coming_of_age_story_girls_father_dies_he/).
-I've spent some significant time trying to find this, and the closest I've come is [Ronnie and Rosey](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2443448.Ronnie_and_Rosey) by Judie Angell.
A couple (or more than a couple) questions: do you remember how the father died? Do you think it was historical or contemporary to when it was written? Did it specifically use the word obituary, or might they have used a synonym like "death notice?" Do you have any memory of the format the title might have been in? (Like was it the girl's name, the [adjective][noun] of [place], etc.)
->Obituary Obsessed Father
Gosh, I think you might have figured it out! I've requested it from my library to see if it's what I remember. The father died unexpectedly so either a car crash or falling off a ladder. I don't think the girl witnessed the event so car crash is probably more likely. I'm confident that the book used the word obituary as reading the newspaper obituaries was the father's hobby. This isn't a huge part of the story, just an ironic thing given that he dies so suddenly. The synopsis for Ronnie and Rosey talks about the girl's mother being really strict - I'm thinking that's why I remember the coke and one of the girls not being allowed to drink it (very often). I had forgotten about the boyfriend, but now I vaguely recall that too. I'm so impressed that you figured this out as there is not a lot of information about this book online. Kudos to your detective skills! Thank you!
-I almost totally forgot all about [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/g4hb9e/zombie_flood_novel_the_sea_falls_in_love_with_a/) and now I'm frustrated all over again!
-Fuck dude that sounds so good!!!! So many awesome ideas we’ll never be able to give the proper credit for...
-[deleted]
-I posted about this book in 2018 and then again in 2020.
The main character was a 13-14 year old boy called Charlie. He lived with his parents and a grandparent. One day, the grandparent and the boy sat at the table in the kitchen or dining room. Then the grandparent gave him a locket or amulet and said he were finally old enough to have it. The grandparent had the locket themself when they were young. It was made from gold (or a material that's the same colour as gold) with a stone in the middle. There were a mystery surrounding the locket which his grandparent were either not able to solve in their youth OR some kind of villain had come back after like 50 years. I read it when I was 10-11 in 2013-14, but it was probably intended for older kids because it was too hard for me.
-Haha aww that's so meta. The family couldn't solve the puzzle in their youth and you couldn't understand it too well in yours and now you're lost when you try find it again.
-Mine :( [help](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/lse244/90s_adventure_gamebook/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)

-FYI for searchers viewing this thread, this was eventually solved on a different post.
[Find the Phantom of Ghastly Castle](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1948301.Find_The_Phantom_Of_Ghastly_Castle) by Kjartan Poskitt.
-The Ghost in the Mirror by Usborne Puzzle Adventures?
Same book series as the one someone else suggested that you said looked very similar, and this particular book has children running away from a ghost but there's also a lot of spooky collections of it and those collections feature castle artwork since it's a mix of other stories.
I haven't read this particular one, just some of the others, so idk if it's got the dragon and goblin and stuff. But if you google image search "Usborne Puzzle ghost" you can find pages of it and different covers. These books were everywhere when I was a kid so I've definitely merged a few of them in my memories.
-It's not that one, but it's a damn good guess. Thanks for your time.
-Not that old but, [Mommy Camp](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/lcni19/boys_mom_goes_to_mommy_camp_elementary_picture/). I searched a lot and couldn’t find anything, there is a book titled mommy camp, but it’s definitely not what op is looking for

Edit: I think \^ that is too recent... I had a whole post typed out but deleted it when I found that, but now I'm thinking that can't be it. I'll list some other potential similar ones?

[Mummy's Lump](https://www.littleparachutes.com/books/mummys-lump/)
-Thanks for the help. "Mommy Camp" has a kind of similar description, but it is way too recent and the art style isn't like what I remember at all. The other two are way more forward with their message than this book was. I'm glad my post is still getting traction, I almost gave up searching for this book.
-I see you mentioned an art style similar to another book. If it's super similar, you could look up the illustrator of that book and search what else they've done. Maybe the publisher. Or author, for that matter.
-I really hope you can find it! [This](https://www.amazon.com/Mom-School-Rebecca-Van-Slyke/dp/0385388926) is the only other thing I can really find that’s similar but I think it’s also too recent...
-This story that sounds so incredibly familiar to me, about an Irish man marrying a fairy woman
https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/auhzko/irish_tale_of_man_marrying_fairy_i_was_told_about/
-It might sound familiar because there's a very similar event in Stardust by Neil Gaiman. It sets off the plot because the child that is borne from that becomes the protagonist. It's definitely not what the OP described, but it is so similar that might be whats triggering your memory.
I've just found an interesting essay someones written on Faerie/Human relationships in Irish folklore so I'm going to contact the OP of that thread with the link to see if it helps because it lists authors and books and number of times a relationship happened with X or Y or Z event. I don't know if I'll be allowed to post the link here since it mentions someones personal email address.
Edit: I found it! By sheer luck the essay mentioned an excerpt from the story even though it didn't for the others, so I managed to check their sources. It's a story called The Fairy Wife published in a 1966 book called Folktales of Ireland. You can read it [here](https://books.google.co.nz/books?id=tPi4vwaS30AC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false) if you skip to page 171. It's uh... actually quite underwhelming to the point I feel bad for even finding it considering the hopefulness of others.

-At one point way back I had posted about a book I was looking for that I vaguely remember reading in the early to mid 90s about a young man in a post-apocalyptic world. I remember him encountering a big cat, and scavenging in some ruins. I was told at the time that it was probably Star Man's Son/Daybreak -2250 A.D by Andre Norton, and hunted down and bought a copy, but that ended up not being it. But I can't find the post now.
More recently I posted looking for a [fantasy adventure where aliens invade at the end](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/jy4rmr/fantasy_adventure_where_aliens_invade_at_the_end/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) (also from the mid-90s) and a [YA sci-fi novel where a boy encounters his evil twin from another dimension](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/kqck7p/ya_scifi_novel_where_a_boy_encounters_his_evil/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), neither of which were resolved.
-That first one sounds a little like the short story “By the Waters of Babylon” by Stephen Vincent Benet.
-I just looked at a synopsis and this does sound a lot like what I remember. Thanks!
-Did you end up liking the Norton book at least or was the whole debacle a complete washout?
-Eh, it was okay. I ended up getting distracted by reading something else and didn't finish it. I've been meaning to go back and read it again some time but haven't had the time.
-I actually just solved my own post from over 3 years ago. The book I was looking for was Master of the Grove - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3630522-master-of-the-grove
-I always wondered if the OP isn’t just as likely to find the answer themselves sometimes
-[deleted]
-Really I was picturing how when I can’t remember something I’m looking for at home and it comes to me hours or days later but that too.
-Oh yeah, the power of the simmer is amazing. You can be sure it's gone from your brain files forever and then BOOM, it's back.
-This premise seemed like the coolest - [Book about a vampire-immortal thing delivering the daughters of a recently deceased father to their aunt and uncle.] (https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/fymvmf/book_about_a_vampireimmortal_thing_delivering_the/)

-This is [my post](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/leootd/young_adultmiddle_grade_contemporary_book_with_a/) from a few weeks ago (reposted from a year ago!). It's my only unsolved post to this subreddit and it's weird because I feel like I remember a lot of details from it, even down to a lot of the characters' names, but have never been able to find any results from googling it or even received any possible suggestions on these posts.
It's about a book which had a female protagonist who was best friends with a boy (maybe called Toby?). At the beginning of the book they are lying on the bedroom floor with their heads on a pillow facing opposite directions - then they kiss but she pulls away because she can't breathe properly but he takes it as a rejection - cue misunderstandings until they clear it up at the end of the book.
-Damn, I'm in the same boat [with a book I posted two weeks ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/lidd85/pre2002_scififantasy_novel_about_an_alien_and_her/).

It's just so familiar! Especially the last scene OP mentions, I can almost see the illustrations in my head, but I just can't remember!
-Here I am, about to comment about my missing childhood picture book of an orange cat who's afraid of everything, and I end up finding my book. I've been trying to find it for 3 years. I am so upset with myself. I can't count how many times I tried searching "Fraidy Cat" and "Furly Cat". Finally I run across Fraidy Cats by Stephen Krensky. I know it's not right, but it LOOKS almost right. I start looking at everything the illustrator Betsy Lewin has done (which is quite a list) and there it is. Furlie Cat. Not with a Y, but with an I-E.
Anyways, just thought I would share my little success story of how this post helped me find my long lost favorite childhood book so I can finally start reading it to my 2 year old daughter.

-This one is archived so I can’t comment, but I think it could be {{Raven’s Shadow by Patricia Briggs}}.
-Good suggestion, but Raven’s Shadow was published in 2004.
-Oh I missed that! Thanks.

Also this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/lj1kqm/fantasy_book_about_brothers_trying_to_defeat_a/
My first post ever was about this book and I've been searching for it for years.
-Sounds a bit like the Ring II and III but prob not
-The first one sounds like something Isaac Asimov would write

-Is this definitely not Dragon Run by Patrick Matthews, like someone suggested on the post? It has the tracker being fed to the chicken, the back of the neck tattoo, and the ranking system.
-It is!
I must have missed that comment. I have been searching for this book for 4 years now and to have found it is amazing!
-Wait, if the tracker is in her arm does that mean she fed her arm to a chicken?
-No, from what I remember she cut the tracker out of her arm then fed it to the chicken
-I thought that might have been the case but then I was confused over why she wouldn't just throw it away if she's managed to get it out and it'll explode haha.
Oh, unless she wanted them to think she was still alive. Duh.
-I wish there was a version of this subreddit for other languages. I had a post on here (since been deleted) about a French teen romance drama that I have never been able to find, unfortunately most of the comments were “I don’t speak French sorry” :(
-I recognized a bunch of books from other languages, that I had read as German translations and that now someone was looking for here. My favourite was a book I read in German and OP in Chinese, But they never mentioned it, so I assumed they had read it in English, Even though I wasn’t sure there was an english translation of it I just suggested the book and it was the right one. i think people commenting sorry I don’t speak language xy are so useless. How is that going to help? I think it’s best to not put too much focus on the language it was written in, definitely never mention it in the title.
-Tht's funny, someome actually recommended me mentioning the fact that I read a book in German (not English) in the title. They said it'd help people narrowing the book search down or something or just tell them right away if there's a chance they know what it is. I'm curious, why do you think mentioning it is a bad idea? I'm not trying to offend you or anything (sorry if it sounds offensive or aggressive) I'm just wondering.
- Lots of the books people are looking for could originally be written in other languages, so even if people read the book in a translated version, they could still recognise the story right? I always hope to recognise a Dutch book.

1. [Teen girl sent to a kibbutz](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/ktz4z0/teen_girl_novel_read_maybe_around_1984/) \-- I feel like that's GOTTA be a unique enough concept to search out, and yet I can't find squat that fits with the premise.
2. [Cool old lady goes on road trip with teen who dogsits for her](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/kcmf2n/cool_old_lady_her_dog_and_a_teenage_girl/) \-- I want to read this!

4. [YA about a girl in a big old house with a ghost & a horse](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/jyhqx5/ya_about_a_girl_in_a_big_old_house_w_a_horse_and/) \- Three things on my bookish interests list.
5. [20th century YA where teacher possibly grooms student](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/k9wj17/possible_ya_novel_about_a_male_teacher_grooming/) \- I help maintain the list on Goodreads referenced in the comments of this post, and OP said they didn't see it on there. I want to add whatever it is, for completion's sake (or find out which one I overlooked, if OP is wrong).
-Except for the time frame, the fifth one does sound very very similar to Love Lessons by Jacqueline Wilson (which someone else has suggested). I don't recall her getting anonymous letters but she might have. I read it a couple of times as a kid/young teenager and both times it was a very romanticised vibe from what I got. The father was abusive and the girl wanted to wear makeup to impress her teacher because she was really unpopular, but she didn't have any so she'd use her waterpaints instead. The teacher was portrayed as a good guy for "caring" about her since she was so unpopular even though it was wrong, sorta like the movie Never Been Kissed.
It's honestly SO similar you might as well just read it instead and consider it solved. I've been considering going back to it as an adult and seeing how I feel about it now that I'm much more aware of these fucked up themes and the toxic shit that influenced my thinking and beliefs as an impressionable young girl. Jacqueline Wilson is usually a really good author with things like that so I'm wondering if I misread it when the book was clearly calling him a creep or something despite being from the lovestruck kids point of view.

This was my latest attempt to find this (over at TOMT) and I tried here about 5 years ago (link in above link). Still looking but not holding out much hope. Read it back around 1976ish and lost the book during a move.
-The fact you say this was set in the Midwest despite having canyons and gold rush concepts intrigued me as a Midwesterner so I spent a while googling but I haven’t been able to find it either. You’re sure it took place in the Midwest? Can you narrow down anything else about it?
-Not a lot left that I remember. If I had to be more specific about location I would say New Mexico or Arizona or some place similar. I think that there were glyphs used in the heading of each chapter and that the boy worked mostly alone. There was also someone that was supposed to be mad or crazy that lived in a cave in the canyons (possibly named Joe?). And the time period was more modern day rather than set long ago. Although they didn't really have a YA category 45 years ago, it would probably fit there today. Figure that it was written for the 10-14 year old readers.
-[The Mystery of Ghost Burro Canyon](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lne_nlzQ-oA/W3ib9QAb2cI/AAAAAAAAKWA/PYGLxKMElCAVCIAZL2QQDEQJmm3a3Hj1QCLcBGAs/s1600/anow.2.jpg) by Dorothea J. Snow? I know you said there's no ghosts, but the blurb doesn't seem to indicate that there are any in the story.
There is the mention of the local legend, the canyon setting, the gold, and the lone boy adventurer. It was [first published in 1962](https://www.worldcat.org/title/mystery-of-ghost-burro-canyon/oclc/1401590&referer=brief_results).
ETA: It's talked about on [this blog](https://series-books.blogspot.com/2018/08/stone-frog-ghost-burro-canyon-and.html), but they reserve the details so as not to spoil it! Hopefully you'll know by this much information whether it's right or not, or if you're unsure, you could email the blogger to ask for confirming details.
-Had high hopes but this wasn't it. Did find a copy on an online library that I skimmed. Similar writing style and book length but it wasn't the story that I was looking for. Thanks for trying though.
-Two other possibilities (with some parts that would have to be viewed with a loose interpretation):
[Ghost Town Treasure](https://www.worldcat.org/title/ghost-town-treasure/oclc/57568936). I swear I’m not putting “ghost” in my searches!
[Good Luck Arizona Man] (https://www.worldcat.org/title/good-luck-arizona-man/oclc/16233683) It’s about a boy, despite the name. Mostly I’m thinking here that the glyphs could be Native American, and the setting is right. The goodreads reviews have the kind of affection that would echo your interest in finding it.
-Drat. How about [Trail to Lone Canyon](https://www.abebooks.com/Trail-Lone-Canyon-Tavo-Gus-Alfred/30668039986/bd)? It’s two boys, but otherwise it’s still the right era and has the gold and canyon.
-The Midwest is the region just west of the Great Lakes + Ohio. You might have luck reposting with every detail and correction of the location.
-Seconded the story was likely closer to the snake river region or another that follows the Rocky Mountains based on the description and the gold seeking
-I posted one that I can’t find anymore:
It’s about two young guys traveling to somewhere like Vermont or New Hampshire in the summer before college. One is more studious and one is more athletic. I think it’s maybe a mystery. The one scene I remember very well is they two guys are trying to move a car, and one of them comes up with the idea to hotwire/jump it using a screwdriver across the battery terminals. The guys get in trouble for doing it and almost loose their summer job and school admission. I think the book may be from the 70’s and I think the car may have been something like a mustang.
-The one about the girl and her pregnant friend is still driving me crazy
https://reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/fcpfxy/short_story_pregnant_teenager_is_rejected_and/
-I'm a month late but I wanna know this one too
-I have one I posted ages ago that never got solved!! And it’s still driving me insane that I can’t find it...
https://reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/cil6s2/fantasy_novel_i_read_in_the_early_80s_checked_out/
Edit: if any one had any suggestions please send them my way! Or if you think I should repost but with a different title... I’ll do pretty much anything to find this damn book. Thanks!!
-Try posting in r/fantasy and try your luck there! It's a great community and someone is likely to know or else help figure it out.
-Are you *sure* it was the 80s? Your description of the title and name of the book sound a whole lot like Eragon.
-If you know the library you got it from, call them! There is a good chance a librarian will recognize your description.
-Noggin & the Ice Dragon? - did some googling and the art seems to match your description at least. do repost it if you're still looking for answers though.
-https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dragons_in_literature#1980s id give a scroll through this page and see if any of the dragons sound at all familiar. None sounded right to me but I think you’d know better than me. Hope you find it!!!
-[Giftwish](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4955616-giftwish) by Graham Dunstan Martin?
-Oh MY GOD that might be it!! I remembered that the main characters name started with E... it is hard to tell from the extremely minimal description on Goodreads but I think you might have found it I AM FREAKING OUT!!
Also the dragon on the cover looks just like I remembered it (although I only remembered one person but hey, it was like 40 years, I’m not surprised I got some things wrong).
Off to try to find a copy so that I can confirm. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
EDIT: Just ordered a copy from Abebooks. The longer I look at the cover, the more convinced I am that this is the book. Ialmostguaranteeit, you are my freaking hero and my new favorite person!
-This really looks like it's it. u/mrsmoo, does it ring a bell?
-Trying to find a copy so I can confirm but I think this is it!! I have seriously been looking for like 5 years. This is amazing.
-From the book: "I displace the earth as a swimmer displaces water. It flows and parts before me. It joins behind me."
-Where did you find this quote? I can’t find much about the book - I may just order a copy to read! I really think this is it, the time period is correct and that quote sounds exactly right.
You are seriously my hero right now. How the HECK did you find it?? I have searched and searched... your google-fu is amazing.
-I couldn’t find a plot to check better, but did a search. Did you look at “The Dragon Quartet” by Marjorie Kellogg? Seemed to have some of the aspects you described.
-The first book wasn’t written until 1995, so unfortunately that’s not it... but those look really cool! I’m gonna check them out give them a read :)
-Did a quick google search and found this page which mentions “Earthsea” which sounds like it might fit? Not sure though, haven’t read it myself. https://dragon.university/books/dragon-books/
-OH, I USED TO SAVE SO MANY! But when I'd go back, they'd be either solved or so old that I gave up hope. Wish I could. I think we need a post like this a few times a year. It would be motivating to keep tabs.
-At some point, you have to wonder how many of them are multiple book concepts our memories have mashed into one, or flat out just dreams we’ve forgotten were dreams. There’s a question on askreddit that pops up every now and again about what statistics or information you’d like to be able to see when you die, and the answers to every unsolved post on this sub would not be a bad response!
-I gave what I thought couldn't possibly be the answer recently. The description only vaguely reminded me, because none of the details were right... but it was the right book.
I agree, dreams, movies, other books, all mixed in memories.
-I've have so many "childhood memories" in my head that I'm not sure if all of them actually happened or if some of them were dreams. I know for sure some of them have to be dreams because I brought one up to my mom sometime and she was like what . . . That never happened lmfao so yeah I do guaranteed at least some of these unsolved books don't actually exist. It's kind of scary how fallible the mind is at discerning dreams from reality.
-Yes, I have a vivid memory of my father smashing my birthday cake when I was eight years old, and it seems both totally real (he's an A+ asshole) and totally dreamlike. I'll go to my grave not knowing whether this happened or not. :(
-I'd also love to know how many times the correct answer was suggested but was dismissed by OP because they misremembered something or the part they remembered didn't make it into the summary (because who has time to track down every single selected book and re-read it)?
-Right?! I had one recently that I’m sure they’re right about, but it wasn’t that “a-ha!” moment, just an “ah, I guess this must be it...” similarly, it’s always hard when you can only remember a few things...
-There are a lot of book posts I'm still curious about, but the one I keep checking for is this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/f4y8ov/old_sf_shortnovella_repressed_society_where/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
And I'm personally still looking for this book that I started to read ages ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/iuu7tf/still_looking_for_postapocalyptic_book_featuring/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
-In case you're still wondering about the flower shops sci-fi short story, I found a story that I think is a strong possibility. "Granny Won't Knit" by Theodore Sturgeon. We'll have to wait for OP to respond to know for sure, of course.
Edit: noticed a typo days later
-Thank you! Yes, actually, I was just thinking about this story again the other day and wondering if it'd been resolved. I'll have to find a copy of his short fiction with that story in it. Whether it's the correct story or not, I'm happy to expand my sci-fi collection. :D
-So sad, it has no replies and is archived :(
-Yeah, I Google the info from time to time, but I haven't come up with anything.
I'm personally still looking for a book, but I'll update my original comment with a link.
-Wait, your post sounds a lot like this one: [https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/km3w3r/there\_is\_a\_book\_where\_the\_northern\_half\_of\_the/ghck07b/?context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/km3w3r/there_is_a_book_where_the_northern_half_of_the/ghck07b/?context=3)
That one is possibly solved, but OP never responded
-The book that matches their description is a YA book, and mine was definitely for adults. Sounds like a fun read through!
-Ahh definitely missed that aspect. Sorry!
-No worries! ☺️
-I made a post about a book set in a dystopian society where an african girl and a robot woman became friends. Had a cheetah/lion cub I think.
Pretty sure it had the word "Green" in the title as it was about environmental issues
-I love this post! Here's mine:
[2 individuals live on an island made of books and only talk in quotes from other books](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/k7teti/2_individuals_live_on_an_island_made_of_books_and/geu9dxd/?context=3)
-Oh, wow, this sounds familiar but my memory is absolute garbage. I used to read a lot of anthologies that I occasionally remember random snippets from and I assume it must be from one of those.
-Just hearing about this makes me want to read it . This one is sure one of the more interesting cases here.
-Is it by any chance anthem? It isn’t an island, but they are on a mountain. Main character rediscovers the word “I”. It’s by Ayn Rand. I don’t really like her, but it sounds very similar
-Doesn’t sound like it to me, but I’m not OP. If you haven’t already, you could comment that on the thread!
-Ah! Sorry I thought you were. I’ll give it a shot
-Been searching for this one in my spare time for like two weeks now 😂

-Jesus Christ, I’d read that.
-Not soooo old, but:

-Pretty sure first one is decision at doona by anne mccaffrey, if not it's the same plot. I commented on original post.
-That second one was solved! Literally within the last hour. I'm so hyped!
-Awesome, thanks for calling that out. OP declares it was "Phobia" by Wulf Dorn.
https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/l3yo0k/a_mystery_book_where_a_woman_tries_to_find_her/govgy61/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
Now if only I could read German...
-The latter sounds like it could be a Philip K Dick short story. There's one about aliens who take over a bunch of people, basically replacing them, but the POV is a boy whos father is replaced.
Another is one of a man who discovers the he himself is the imposter.
-The husband one sounds FASCINATING! Can someone please find it so I can read it?
-Looks like they found it! "Phobia" by Wulf Dorn.
-[deleted]
-I have a bunch. I have to have at least a hundred saved posts.
A few of the ones that bug me the most: At least four people remember [this book of bedtime stories](https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/jxbats/tomt_childrens_book_80s_or_90s_the_book_is_about/) where a kid's nose turns into a pickle and they eat it.
[Daughter discovers her mother's cult past](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/krowav/fiction_about_a_cult_robbery_polygamy_and_bird/)
[Daughter admires father, who turns out to be manipulative predator](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/dt3hvn/ya_book_about_school_girl_who_idolizes_her/) (this one is archived but I'm still extremely curious)
[School on boat with milk pills](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/k7md3u/childrens_book_boarding_school_aboard_a_boat/)
Edit: formatting
-The pickle nose book is Bedtime Hugs for Little Ones by Debby Boone if people are interested! You can find the pickle page on internet archive and it can be disturbing haha
-The "school on boat with milk pills" OP made an edit with the title. :)
-Thank you! I will edit my comment to reflect that. The pickle nose one was found as well on a different post. Crossing my fingers that the other two will be found someday as well.
-It’s probably not the same story but the manipulative predator one reminds me of Into The Water by Paula Hawkins, a long read but overall a good book.
-Thank you so much for linking my post (the cult one)! I’ve been looking for years and have had no luck whatsoever, so I always appreciate more eyes on it!
-Is this your post ?
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/21975728-solved-2017-or-2018-thriller-where-a-woman-finds-out-her-mother-was-in
If not, the book could be "Everything is lies". Its linked in the post.
-It isn’t, but I am deeply grateful that you looked into this! Thank you!
-Of course! I still periodically look for it. It's mystifying to me that a modern book that has an audiobook version is this hard to find. I've tried eliminating the word cult from my searches. I've tried substituting stuff like "charismatic," "drawn into," "pulled into," "fell under the spell of." Nothing. Someday someone will get it, I hope.
-It sounds very Manson-inspired; maybe searching for Manson "retellings" might get some new hits?
-The milk pills one sounds so familiar... reminds me of something I read a long time ago but I also have no idea what it was and if it’s even the same thing!
Edit: well, what I was thinking of was The Girl Who Could Fly. Maybe it could be it? There are some with blue covers and some details match? Might as well give it a shot. I’ll leave a comment.
-The milk pills one sounds like “Spying on Miss Muller” by Eve Bunting
Edit: I chatted the OP of that post and they confirmed it to be the book they were looking for
-Hi, sorry, just seeing this! I have notifications turned off for comment activity that isn't directly responding to me (but should probably turn them back on). I saw their edit and assumed they had found it themself.
Is this account currently active? You deserve gilding, and since this response is so late, I want to make sure it's not during a time you're taking a break from Reddit.
-Yeah, I’m an active account! I’m just glad that I was able to help someone out!
-[Perfect mix of Alice in Wonderland and Narnia](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/jtlkms/childrens_book_that_is_the_perfect_mix_of_alice/)
-I can't seem to reply on the original post, but it is likely The Castle in the Attic by Elizabeth Winthrop
-I read that book as a kid and loved it, great suggestion.
I'm not the original poster for that particular thread, but it doesn't seem to tick all the boxes OP listed: multiple figurines each correlating to a character, a cathedral that had to brought down, an evil aunt...
You could always message Terrible\_Machine9 and ask them if they solved it-- and if they did, let me know. It sounded so interesting.

-I'm following that one, too.
-Beep. Boop. I'm a robot.
Here's a copy of
###[Alice In Wonderland](https://snewd.com/ebooks/alices-adventures-in-wonderland/)
Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)
-Personally, I’m still thinking about the [suicidal boy who turns into a gas pump.](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/i1axw7/suicidal_boy_who_turns_into_a_petrol_gasoline_pump/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
-OP just wanted you to know this book was found apparently!
https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook/comments/pb8tt7/the_gas_pump_boy_book_has_been_found/
-In a similar vein, there was a post a while ago where they were looking for a scifi story where people sold their limbs for money, and became employed as furniture for the one wealthy man left.
I know Ive read this story, I've gone through every scifi anthology in my possession, but I just can't find it! Am afraid it might be been read in a random old magazine online years ago, like the OP of that post also suspected.
I won't forget that one now.
-I swear I remember reading this as a kid, it was like a short story for children like maybe the Age range that would Segway into a short chapter book? And I thought he called it a Petrol pump because I vaguely recall asking my mom what a petrol pump was and she said it’s what the British called a gas pump and afterward I had her drive me to the side of town where we still had an old time-y gas pump like the one described in the book and she told me all about how they operated. Sadly I just forget titles especially of shorter books like that, though I do remember thinking the story was bizarre and wondering if it was a metaphor or just nonsense.
-Oh man, that reminds me of this story I read in elementary school where the new neighbors were terrified of water. It turned out >!they were made of cotton candy and melted in a rainstorm!<.
-Oh, I can identify that one! "Rain, Rain, Go Away" by Isaac Asimov.
-At this point it must be a practical joke lol. Someone commented on that threat that there were other people looking for it in other sites too, but seems like op wrote all of them.
There was a goodreads link, for example. The person asking about the book there (op from reddit most likely) had rated 0 books and someone saying they also read that book had rated 3 books, so they might have been just fake/throwaway profiles. The other linked threads were also probably written by op (the same details about the book were given).
Then again there was also a Twitter link, and that profile seems very real and active. It might be op too, or their friend or someone just wanting to spread the joke.
-Honestly I could just be pulling this outta nowhere but as I read descriptions of this book it sounds vaguely familiar like j read it when I was wayyyy younger
-See it’s just weird to me that first of all, so many people would be looking for this book and yet no one can find it, and second of all that all the people looking for it seem to remember all the exact same details. I’m convinced the book doesn’t exist. Whether it’s a joke or people misremembering stuff. Like the Mandela effect. Or that children’s tv show that lots of people think exist but doesn’t.
-What children's tv show are you referring to?? Just curious lol
-...
...
I thought there was a tv show that lots of people remembered but turned out to not exist, but I can't find any info on it so I guess I was the one misremembering that lol
-Was it pirate's cove??? Because I swear I've heard something like that before I don't think you're misremembering it but I was curious to know if what you were talking about was the same shit I'm thinking of lol
-I was about to say yes!! Then I googled it and I think the title is actually [Candle Cove](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candle_Cove), which is apparently a creepypasta about people remembering a fake tv show. So I guess I remembered the story but not that it was just a story lol
-OH yeah duh pirate's cove is from fnaf lmfao but yes candle cove that's 100% what I was thinking of but I didn't mention it at first because I knew it was a creepypasta so I wasn't sure if it was the same thing lol but honestly I've seen stories like that where a few people remember something but no one can find it like god there was this animated episode of something that aired on nickelodeon??? And these people swore they remembered but no one could find it, and then someone like got in contact with this animation studio that made it or some shit like that and then they found it so yeah things like that do happen lol I think the thing I'm thinking of is the clock man or something really interesting stuff.
-I don't think it's a prank, but I think enough of the details were misremembered in the first instance - possibly copied by other people who vaguely remember the real thing - that it's basically unfindable.
-The earliest question linked in the previous thread is from 2018. It's *possible* somebody would be dedicated enough to stretch a prank over multiple years, but I'm not sure it's the most likely explanation.
Somebody in that thread mentioned that it sounded like the Australian author [Paul Jennings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Jennings_(Australian_author\)), and I spent a while digging through a bunch of his work. I didn't have any luck finding this story, but I did find plenty of others that were at least as weird. So I have no trouble believing that this one is real.
-I went through his work too! It's just crazy how op says they remember all these details and none of them match. Even if they read a collection of stories and mixed up the stories in their head, no collection has been found. If it was a tv show or something instead, these details should have found something. It's just too frustrating!
-Honestly, why waste such a good idea on a joke? Just write the damn book and I’ll read it!
-Wasn't there one about someone who turned into a pay phone?

t3_7wbelj | -It would have been 2000-2006, i remember the girl is in a bar in the beginning and someone is making wine in a bathtub. Her and a small group is sucked into a portal to another dimension where they go on to fight orcs or monsters in an dungeon of some sort. The lead girl finds a dagger in the dungeon and she is good at throwing daggers so she head shots orcs and then the dagger comes back to her hand. The lead Guy has a sword or long sword that he named navigator or voyager or something like that i remember an American car had the same name a few years later by I think ford. Not a lot to go on sorry i put everything i remember.

**Platform(s):** PC likely DOS or Early Windows
**Genre:** Point and Click Adventure
**Estimated year of release:** Around or before 2000. I remember getting this game in the time where gaming magazines sometimes had full games on the discs besides demos and videos. Don't remember what magazine it was though.
**Graphics/art style:** 2D-pre-rendered backgrounds, but the characters seemed mo-capped (like Mortal Kombat 1).
**Notable characters:** Multiple characters to choose from, besides the standard detective, there were some really weird ones, I'm sure one was a cyborg or guy in a robot suit and another was possibly a vampire or sorcerer.
**Notable gameplay mechanics:** I think the basic structure was similar to Maniac Mansion, you could selected 2 or 3 characters out of a total of 6-8 and they had different skills to solve the puzzles in different ways. There were definitely multiple endings and repeated playthroughs where encouraged. The setting was small town America and might have circled around a High School. The characters arrive in town to solve a crime of some sort.

t3_sx7q3j | -This song is driving me crazy 😂
I don't even like this type of music but I'm so curious about it because it's so catchy and I can't remember anything other than the following:
-it must be super popular since they always played it on pop/top 40 radio
-it's has pop/RnB/rap kinda vibe
-the most recognizable thing about this song is this:
I can't remember the exact words but the lyrics rhyme with this:
[Insert 2-3 words] afec....[1 second pause]....tion
[Insert 2-3 words] reflec....[1 second pause]....tion
[Insert 2-3 words] atten....[1 second pause]....tion
I'm sure some of you guys would know it. I'm so curious lol
Edit: I forgot to mention that the singer is male (at least the part I remember)
-Break My Heart - Dua Lipa ?
-Nope. Similar style but male singer, definitely the "pause" then "tion" pattern
-[deleted]
-I don't know the song but I found this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzBjfmjTdjs
-Not this one. I think the one I'm looking for is super popular. Like those with billion+ views on YouTube.
I'm guessing it's a super famous artist.
-Ariana Grande - 7 Rings? https://youtu.be/uDAjINEp8H8
It has a lot of pauses in it.
-Thank you but I forgot to mention that the singer is male. But definitely similar to this type of music and probably just as popular. I'm just really bad at keeping up with trendy names
-Try Bazzi - Mine https://youtu.be/Gc71AmT_b2k
Has pauses but doesn't follow your lyrics too well though.
-Similar to this. Slightly more "rappy" and definitely follows the "pause" then "tion" pattern.

t3_gy4ih2 | -That's pretty much it. It was probably from the mid 80s, definitely after ET, not Meatballs II, but the alien is pretty similar. Oh, and the kid with the alien calls the thing "Bompy" or something. The teens are in a rock group. There's a van and a recording studio where they go in a place that looks like Big Bear, CA.
If MST3K didn't do an episode of this one, they should have.
Any help is appreciated.
-[Click here for a link to the answer!](/r/tipofmytongue/comments/gy4ih2/tomtmovie_scifi_movie_from_the_80s_came_out_after/ft8e50a/)
-Sounds like [Pod People](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pod_People), which was indeed MSTed by Joel and the bots.
-Gotta be this. The kid called the alien Trumpy, and the band is such a memorably bad scene.
-The Pod People (1983)?

-Not sure of a word for a specific set of these.
Alliteration could refer to the similar starting sounds.
"a-" would be called the prefix.

t3_cdo59n | -It is a thought experiment/game theoretical situation where there is a society with two rules:
1. Forgot what this was, but it's stupid.
2. You have to beat people who disobey rule 1 or 2 to death.
The idea is that rule 1 will stay in the society even though it is stupid because if you don't participate in the punishment, you'll get punished.
-Is this based on Hobbes’ two laws of nature?
-I don't think so, they did not have a sovereign (who could put a stop to it).
-A stretch but The Belko Experiment?
-No, that isn't it.
-5 monkeys and a ladder?
-That's not it, but the idea behind it is exactly the same.
-12 monkey experiment?
-Sounds like Shirley Jackson's short story The Lottery.
-Did the people who didn't participate in the stoning get stoned as well?
-Not in the story itself, if I recall correctly, but the implication was that they would.

t3_n8igy2 | -It had decent pixel art and it was a platformer. You collected fruits I believe and fought off dinosaurs. The final boss was a T-rex I think. You followed a family of cavemen. It isn't Prehistorik or UGH, I'm pretty sure. It wasn't very popular.
-Probably not but Chuck Rock had some of those elements.
-No, it isn't that :/
-Adventure Island? As a series you're basically playing a caveman looking dude with a cool hat that collects fruit to keep himself full.
It's also weirdly related to Wonder Boy, as the NES version of the first game is a reskin of the original Wonder Boy arcade game in essence.
-sadly it isn't that

t3_695seo | -My uncle used to play a samurai/warrior type game but insists he doesn't know what I'm talking about.
I'm certain it takes place in an Asian country, but I know for sure that whenever you performed your finishing move, you could see the enemy's internal organs like a skin X-Ray of sorts before ripping them out bare handed. If I remember right there was a stealth element to it as well, but I'm unsure.
Thank you for your time.
-Death By Degrees?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_Degrees
I only remember the first level on a cruise ship but it had a similar X-Ray mode where you can break bones of some enemies when defeating them.

t3_cld8yq | -Platform: PC
Genre: Gambling/Casino
Estimated Year of Release: 2002-2005
Graphics/Art Style: 3D graphics for character models and tables/game pieces, but primarily focused on 2D images (cards, images on slot machines)
Notable Characters: You had the ability to play as an alien, as a man who was reminiscent of Indiana Jones, I believe someone with a cartoonish mustache? There were more but that’s most of what I can recall
Notable gameplay mechanics: It played as a pretty standard virtual casino game. No real money at all, but you had access to play poker, blackjack, parcheesi and a few others (I think go was an option?). Sometimes the characters would make pre-canned comments or sounds of frustration depending on winning or losing.
Other details: It opened up on this pretty dramatic cutscene. I mostly recall the Indiana Jones character being chased through a tunnel by a boulder which was totally irrelevant to the actual gameplay, but always played when loading it.

t3_qhrhy8 | -The protagonist is a small boy, and he lives on a tree, there’s like a whole world of mini people basically.
I remember at one point he falls down from the tree and meets the “grass people” where he also meets a girl who becomes his kind of a love interest. And I think he brings her back on the tree to live there.
I also know, that the boy was put into a prison on the tree, but I don’t know if it was before or after meeting the grass people.
I read this book, when I was about ten, which was 9 years ago, so it is more of a book for children. But I remember it being very long, and it was a very thick book.
I honestly can’t find it anywhere and this is all I can remember. Hope someone could help me find it!

t3_qbrwrk | -Hey y'all I'm trying to remember a song by a japanese artist, the name and singer evade me but its a guy who sings in a female voice (really well might I add). I can't remember how the song sounded but i remember the animated music video for the song being about a girl (might have been an elf or something) who's held captive by an evil ruler who uses her kind as slaves. There's a pretty prominent part I remember where she yells, and the video ends with the girl killing the guy with a poisoned sword.
For a reference of a very similar art style look up Usseewa by Ado, its what made this pop into my mind in the first place. Thanks in advance !
-That’s Kilmer by Nilfruits! (Specifically the Miyashita Yuu cover.)
-yes thats it!! thank you so much! edit: im almost forgot im supposed to add "Solved!"
-You're very welcome!
-I'm not aware of any of his music videos that fit the description, but does [Aoi Shouta's voice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OkkUm7wW9I) sound familiar? Maybe it's one of his songs?
Was this a mainstream-ish artist would you say or more like one of the singers on Niconico douga?

-Solved! Yep, it's definitely this one.
-Woohoo, my first point! The scene you're thinking of is when the plane stops in the middle of nowhere to refuel. Steve Buscemi wanders away and finds that girl playing. At the end of that refueling stop as the plane takes off again they show the little girl waving at the plane flying overhead and she is unharmed.

t3_s8bikb | -Okay so there's this dvd I had as a child that I would watch kinda often where there was maybe a beige or white background and gloves of different colors that would talk to each other. My mom says it's probably from the late 90s and I remember it having an "i" in the name that had a flower as the dot. I remember it being an educational show and I think it was mainly targeted towards babies and toddlers to help them learn life lessons and spelling ig. I can't remember if the gloves had faces or not but I'm pretty sure they did. I've been trying to find this video for years now and I've gotten nowhere.

t3_92bw19 | -**SOLVED**
The user was with 2 other guys and 2 girls, they all start getting it on and at some point he is completely ignored and maybe even pushed away while the others are coupled up.
I believe they were rather young (high school/college), the guy may have been a Virgin, and may have ended with him masturbating in the corner by himself. The post was funny/sad/cringe.
EDIT: More details - It happened on a bed, not a shower. As u/superdoobop said, he may have been pushed away by a foot (probably while attempting to go down on a girl)
EDIT 2: **SOLVED!!!!** I was able to find the post by including the 'pushed by foot' detail. Thank you u/superdoobop.
Enjoy!!

-IVE BEEN TO THAT ASYLUM!
-This has to be in the Beta HOF
-[deleted]
-Holy crap. I've been to that abandoned mental institution in Dunwoody!! That place is frightening. We used to go there in high school around Halloween
-wow that’s fucking shitty
-I want to kill Abe now and I'm not even that guy. Holy shit.
-Not going to bother with a throwaway... I've been in this situation as one of the girls.
It was me, my boyfriend, and his two (male) friends out drinking at some jarhead bar. We were all early 20's and they were all active duty marines at the time. Friend 1 picks up a chick and we decide to all go back to his place. So it's me, new chick, and 3 guys.
The drinking continues and I'm being super friendly with the new girl. She's covered in tattoos so I'm basically drunk girl hitting on her and she asks if I want to go to the bathroom and see the rest of them that are hidden by her clothes. I agree, so we go into the master bathroom and ended up making out and taking a long time.
The making out turned into stripping down and then my boyfriend knocked on the door like "let me in". So we open the door and let all 3 guys into the bedroom where me and her get onto the bed.
At first, they all 3 watched us kissing/eating each other out, but she kept biting my thighs so I pulled my boyfriend into the fold to divert some of the attention. Then Friend 1 (the guy who picked her up) joined in.
So now it's like two couples and Friend 2 is just kinda sitting there on a computer chair with a glazed, drunk look and his semi in his hand. The 4 of us had sloppy, awkward 4some sex and just kind of ignored him...and I don't really remember how it ended. I just remember Friend 2 staring at us kinda like we were on a screen and not really there in person.
Either way that was a regrettable experience because the next morning I left for a cruise vacation and spent most of it with large painful bruises on my legs and tonsillitis that required antibiotics.

> This is long, but definitely worth it and definitely true. May have messed me up sexually forever, I don't know.
>
> I was a 16 year old male, had only made out with a girl once before when I was 12, and I was a late bloomer. So me, four other guys, and and two other girls go to this abandoned Mental Asylum in Dunwoody, Ga. I'm leading the pack with this girl Jen behind me, arms wrapped around my waist and very scared. We leave the asylum and I'm driving to a liquor store because one of the homies has a fake ID. It's just me and this girl Jen in my car, she's in the front seat next to me, and exclaims that she has a hole in her jeans right by her crotch. I just say something like oh yeah how big, can I feel it? She lets me put my fingers through the hole and I feel her pussy through her panties, first i've ever felt. She's clearly cool with this and I tell her i've never felt one before and nor have I had my dick touched before. We make this kind of agreement that she'll give me a HJ tonight.
>
> So, we drive back to the other girl's house, Olivia (hotter at the time), but Jen tells me I have to drop two of the other bros off at a house because we're trying to ditch them. I go along with it and pretend that i'm going home too and take these kids home. On my way back i'm horny as fuck. I've just felt a pussy for the first time (sorta), so i'm stoked and assume the best might happen so I stop at a gas station and buy a pack of condoms, like a 3 pack.
>
> I get to Olivia's house and everyone is already drunk and high, so I kinda get a late start on that. And we're sitting down in front of the TV blasting music and taking turns making out with the different girls and sucking on their titties and what not, all straight action mind you haha. So now i'm feeling my first tits and i'm sucking on two pairs. Also, the ratio is at 3 guys to 2 girls.
>
> Somehow the party gets taken upstairs into a bedroom and the makeout-tit-fest continues on a large bed. Things start heating up and I end up heading south on Olivia, pull of her pants and pussy. Finally touch a real pussy, briefly, then dive in tongue first. No fucking clue what i'm doing. So i'm just tasting and licking and discovering oblivious to anything going on in my surroundings, and she's clearly cool with the situation. And at this point, well, horny doesn't describe where I'm at. So, I'm going to town on this girl, whom is a virgin too, and this guy Abe starts making out with her. She's loving the pussy licking and loving the makeout.
>
> The thing is Abe's basically getting all the credit for her physical pleasure. It's like i'm the chef and he's the hostess. She starts taking off his pants, and pushes my face away with her foot, basically kicking away. Okay, i'm not gunna rape anyone, i oblige.
>
> So now there's two couples on the bed side by side, men laying on their backs the girls on top. And, me still in the room for some unknown reason, not hidden but not really interacting either. So everyone's a virgin and shit's def about to go down. But wouldn't you fucking know it, there's no condoms! . . . well i should've kept it that way but i'm like yeah sure. . . i'm not getting pussy i guess i'll help you guys out. I don't know why but i just sit there and watch these two couples lose their virginity at the same time.
>
> And don't forget i'm still horny as fuck, and now super fucking depressed. I'm the fucking 5th wheel. I'm breathing heavy, really sad, tearing up and silently sobbing a little bit watching this shit go down right in front of me.
>
> Maybe I'm a freak too but i go up to Jen and the boy she's riding and i'm like well you promised a HJ could i get one now or a BJ would be better. While she's riding his dick i ask this. . . so fucking awkward and desperate. I don't remember what she said but it didn't happen.
>
> So i'm sitting there in the corner on the ground watching 4 people have so much fun, I don't know why nobody asked me to leave haha, and i'm sobbing and i fucking come in my pants. Not because i was jacking it but just because. . . i don't know. So there's me crying and coming, and afterwards i excuse myself to the bathroom to clean out my boxers.
>
> I come back and they're all done, and i'm ready to get the fuck out of there, don't give a shit if i'm drunk driving, i just gotta fucking go. Go into the bedroom to grab my shoes or something, and Jen is just standing there naked and grabs me and starts making out with me. I'm really turned off by her right now at this point, but still fucking ask for an HJ, and i still get turned down because she's too exhausted.
>
> Leave the house in a rush, call up my homie, crash his place, tell him and my other friend how ate Olivia's pussy that night, fucking God to them. . . didn't tell this story to anybody until like 2 weeks ago, I got excited when i saw this thread. FUCK
>
> TL;DR--Ate a girl out while another guy made out with her, he got the credit, ended up fucking her next to another couple on the same bed. All losing their virginity, i supplied the condoms. Awkwardly stayed in the room and watched them fucking while sitting in the corner, sobbing and came my pants. why am i telling you this?
>
> EDIT: Late bloomer as in I hit puberty later than average. . . not speaking sexually.
>
> No, I didn't pull off her pussy.
>
> I lost my virginity when I was 18. I have been doing fine in my courtship of women. Thank you.
-i literally require this to be fake
-I’m pretty sure op’s insecurity about it and lack of confidence is why it was so bad. He went from flirting with a chick/fingering, to eating pussy, to... jacking off in the corner? Those girls have probably 4 open holes that he could’ve used. And he should‘ve encouraged the other people too. Instead he felt sorry for himself and ruined the mood for everyone else.
Unless those people really were dicks and rejected him at every turn. Then this story is worse than hell and the most depressing thing in existence.

-Man that woman on the top canNOT be having a good time

surely she is having a better time than the one who is literally on her neck?
-I imagined she was engaging her back and arm muscles to ensure she wasn't crushing that woman and that would be painful.

-Holy shit that was great.
-This one is the still magic tho.
-This was not it unfortunately. It was on a bed, not in the shower. As another commenter said, he might have been pushed away by a foot at some point.
So close though!
-you're doing gods work son
-What did her having a "reeeally nice house" have anything to do with the story?
-Maybe specifying why 4 teenagers could fit in the shower at the same time
-Having sex in a (borderline) mansion is way better than sex in a dingy apartment...

t3_qe30bk | -I remember three scenes from a movie but cant remember the name.
First scene is set in the 1920's, a black man is wearing a nice suit, another man is shot and falls onto him, the police then arrest the person wearing the nice suit.
The next scene is the man and his friend in a prison in the south and they talk back to the head guard, they are then made to stand on glass bottles.
The third scene is the man, now quite old, opening the car door for someone, he then looks around at the changed world and the hippies walking around.

I believe it was a comedy.

t3_qrz78g | -The film is old (40-60s) it stars a man and a woman (I think one of them, possibly the woman was a well know actress). It is set in an Asian country after a war (probably wwii). The guy is a soldier but I can’t remember if it’s army, navy or Air Force and he meets the woman there who is an expat. The locals know her and her nickname was something like lucky long legs or lucky legs I think. She had street smarts and had to do all kinds of things to get by, she had a mixed race kid with a local but he wasn’t in the picture. I can’t for the life of me find this film but I remember watching it about ten years ago on tv. Can anyone help? Thanks

t3_qzir1a | -I remember this melody almost perfectly, although I'm not sure where it came from. In my mind the melody is played in whistles and it's a loop which repeats, so at first I thought it could be from Where's My Water although after a quick search I couldn't find anything. I couldn't find a whistle instrument on FL Studio so I just used a random synthetizer.

At one point, the main character has a direct encounter with it. And it says something like, "We've/I've always been there. You have no idea how close we've been," implying that throughout the MCs life the creature has been close to touching him or making contact.

t3_r3xyxt | -Hi everyone,
Im trying to find a book I read in middle school that really affected me and I can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called or who the author is. Here are some things I do remember:
The story is told in multiple parts, one is in the mothers point of view the other the daughter
The mothers point of view is her as a teenager. She writes poetry but doesn’t believe that it’s good enough to be called poetry so she calls them mopes
The mother becomes close friends with her English teacher
She falls in love (with a boy at school) and ends up getting pregnant
The daughter then is raised by her dad because the mother dies suddenly of a brain aneurysm and finds her mothers poetry
The edition of the book I read was red
It was written by a man
If felt like a long book when I read it anywhere between 600-900 pages
Would have been published BY 2013. Could have easily been published before but I remember that is the year I read it
-Is it "This is All: The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn" by Aidan Chambers?
-People like you are so reliable
-You found it! This has literally been haunting me for years- thanks so much!

I haven't seen the photo in years. Does anybody know what picture I'm talking about?
Thanks!
-boxxy?
-Nope. Not her either.
-You might be thinking of disaster girl. That's a little girl, not a woman, but other than that fits the description and first got popular around 2007.

-I guess my description would describe that meme, but no that's not it. Thank you though.

t3_i4f3sw | -This was in a Spotify playlist of lo-fi songs I made about two or three years ago, but I deleted that account and so the playlist is gone. I do have a YouTube playlist of lo-fi songs and I remember that I found the song on YouTube so it would have been likely that the song was in there, however I’ve checked all the videos and it’s not there. The only possibility is that it’s the one video in the playlist which has since been privated.
What I remember about it and what made me love it was the voice audio. I think it was from an old film, and it was two men talking. It’s frustrating because I can’t remember exactly what they were saying, but the general gist was that they were in some kind of remote jungle or island and were talking about what it was like, how life feels different or something. One of them said “I’ve been here so long” and I think one said something about forgetting his manners. I believe one of them was called George.
At the time I kept searching to find what film the audio was from because I loved it so much, but I couldn’t find it. Now I can’t even find the song. Any help would be appreciated
-Have you watched George of the Jungle? I'm sure there will be numerous remakes too.
It sounds like it could also be from a war movie. I had a look at imdb for the list of characters in Apocalypse Now, but there is no-one named George.

t3_hchx7g | -- It aired somewhere between the 90's to early 2000's, most likely in the mid-to-late 90's.
- It may have been on PBS or Treehouse, though I'm not 100% sure. Those are the two main channels that come to mind as what I'd watch as a kid.
- Broadcast in either Alberta (close to Calgary) or Ontario (Ottawa)... I know this isn't very helpful, but unfortunately I moved across the country around this time and can't clearly remember which house I was living in when I saw it.
- I only distinctly remember one "episode", so I may be misremembering a one-off short as a series. I believe it was either a series or a collection of short myths, but my memories of "the rest" are so vague I can't be sure it wasn't just the one myth in a single short.
The show used cartoonish animal puppets and it was about aboriginal culture and/or myths. The one episode I can remember was about a wolf character using some kind of magic to remove his own eyes and have them fly around the forest. There were other animal puppet characters involved and I remember a cast of a few different characters, but I can only distinctly remember two characters from this one "episode". The second character I think was a raven or crow, but may have been another wolf or fox (I'll get back to this). I'm pretty sure the raven/secondary character ate the wolf's disembodied eyes? It was very strange and stuck with me for years because of that. It wasn't scary, but it was very surreal to me as a child. I remember the eyes flying around a dark forest set on sticks or strings (because puppets).
I believe the story of the episode was based on an actual aboriginal myth/story. I was recently able to find [this myth](http://www.ankn.uaf.edu/NPE/CulturalAtlases/Yupiaq/Marshall/raven/RavenLostHisEyes.html) about a raven that could remove its eyes that I think might be connected. For years I couldn't remember what animal the second character was, but I'm pretty sure now it was a bird--the eyes were flying around so only a flying creature would be able to catch them, and it apparently fits some existing details of this myth. However I don't believe this specific story is the one the episode was about, and I can't rule out the possibility that I'm only "remembering" it as a raven because I saw this other story. If anyone has even the faintest idea of what the myth could be, I'd greatly appreciate the insight. I'll do some more digging when I get the chance since I apparently have nothing better to do under quarantine.
The most similar show I've been able to find so far is [Tiga Talk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiga_Talk), but the timeline is off so that can't be it. The puppets were a little more cartoonish as well, I think, and the setting was much more like a real forest with puppet animals compared to the setting of Tiga Talk (a modern-looking house with human characters as well as puppets). It's also not Tipi Tales, another show that came up frequently when I've searched for it. I don't remember any human characters, just animals.

t3_m5eoid | -It had a distinct manga-like artstyle, its protagonist was a teenage girl with a shadowy companion, and I think something about academy life? There was some magic involved, but I’m not sure if they were specifically witches or not.
It came in volumes, and in one of the volumes there was a couple, with the guy being a vampire, but he wasn’t evil.
The series was also grouped together with other Scholastic Graphic Novels like Amulet.

t3_dcyhvb | - I remember stumbling upon a website that sold 3D printed city tile kits about a year ago. They were square, and looked to be between about 2" x 2" to 4" x 4", sold in small sets, and I think the website was Asian. I remember looking at them and they had recently started selling an ocean kit with a port,ship and blue tiles.
I've looked as hard as I can but to no avail. Thanks for the help.

t3_ftv0v7 | -Platform:mobile
Genre:RPG
Estimated year of release: 2010-2014
graphics/art style: like an old pokemon game(nintendo ds game quality), and also pretty good for 2010-2014
Notable characters: there was only 2 characters, boy and girl which you choose who you want
Notable game mechanics: to catch each monster you used an ocarina from legend of zelda then it would put notes up on a screen and it became a rhythm game until it is over
Other details: you could choose from 5 monsters(fire water grass electric and I forgot what else) the healing place was like a machine where you had to upgrade to put in more monsters to heal and it took a while (I am not sure about the healing part but I think that how it is) ( not an extra detail but if I hear the music I can know if it is the game)
-Is it Terapets?
-Sorry, but this was not it im glad though that this reminded of you of a game
-I wouldn’t assume people overlooked it - it may just be that people don’t recognize the game. The PSA sticking on this sub has a template you can use that might help get a bit more attention. I know some regular users here ignore posts without the template format.
Anyways the game you’re describing sounds like Jade Cocoon to me, which was a PSX game. Ocarina-like flute included (https://youtu.be/sfcPq05x-AA) though I don’t remember any Guitar Hero shenanigans. There was a Japanese mobile phone version, Jade Cocoon Gaiden. Sorry if this ain’t it, but thanks for reminding me about Jade Cocoon regardless!

t3_rta1dw | -I heard an interview maybe a week or two ago on NPR of a man’s memoir that was just recently turned into a movie. It was a story of his escape from his country because of his religion (can’t remember exactly what it was about his religion that made his life at stake though…). I thought it had an animal or nature element name or something in the title? He was from India or the Middle East, I think.
I’ll take the book, movie, or interview at this point.
-Could the movie be Flee? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzUVeuX1u04

t3_c1tzan | -Ok so I need the name of an English song that goes like this in the chorus:
https://vocaroo.com/i/s0Ta9Nmo4IlA
Only in a deeper male voice (something like Mark Knopfler). I heard it on the radio recently and it's a very calming song with a slow tempo. It gives the vibe of 80's-90's but I'm not sure. The rhythm in the chorus is like I sung it (did my best): nana nana naaa.
Whoever guesses this=genius

t3_r42qgc | -Good Morning,
I'm looking for an old and obscure anime (not as famous as Akira or Hokuto No Ken I mean) that I used to watch on a VHS when I was a kid (so in the early 90s, but the anime itself could be older than that ). It's either from the 80s or 90s then. The visual style is Japanese, but could be an American production judging by its influences (The Running Man and Mad Max) . I don't know if it was a movie or just an episode of a series.
It takes place in a dystopian future. The episode started in a prison with a deadly "game" (like The Running Man). I remember the prisoners where on a sort of human size chessboard. The rules are similar to chess, except the prisoners are the pawns. If they walked on the wrong square, they were disintegrated / killed. A bit later, one of the prisoners (a white man with short brown hair) escapes (or is sent to the next game after surviving the chessboard - not sure), and there's a car chase in the desert (like Mad Max). The guy after the prisoner is a bald black guy who could be a prisoner too. Then they have an accident, the black guy is severely wounded, and dies in the arm of the white guy, saying he missed his old life right before dying.
That's all I can remember. I've already spent countless hours trying to find it but no success. Hopefully someone knows the name of this cartoon.
-Is it [Riki-Oh](https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/riki-oh)?
-Nope, doesn't look like it. They wear prisoner uniforms in the anime I mention.
-The only other one I can think of is [Bavi Stock](https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/bavi-stock-i-hateshi-naki-hyouteki) but that doesn't quite fit.
-Still not that, although the visual style of the OAV has some similarities.

t3_9mlqqk | -I remember playing this game online maybe 10-15 years ago. I frequented Armor Games, Addicting Games, Newgrounds and the like.
It was a third-person game where you went around your schoolgrounds/neighborhood seeking out and pelting other kids with snowballs.
I believe it might have been a combo of WASD + cursor controls but I’m not sure. The graphics somehow reminded me of South Park.
Very minimal game and graphics as it was definitely over a decade ago. Any help would be appreciated!

t3_olmiyl | -**Platform(s):**PC
**Genre:** Adventure/Platformer/Metroidvania/Shooter
**Estimated year of release:** Somewhere near year 2010
**Graphics/art style:** Pixelated 2D graphics. I think it takes place in a spaceship
**Notable characters:**Can't remember.
**Notable gameplay mechanics:**It's somewhat common to enter behind the level through air vents to find upgrades. Probably health ups.
One such secret holds a hidden machine gun that propels the player upwards when it's shot down (game is not cave story btw)
**Other details:**Game is likely made in flash. I think I first played it on armorgames but I couldn't find it there when looking around.
-After searching around a *bit* more. (Notably typing in "flash game inspired by cave story" into google). I came across [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/cavestory/comments/eq4fdz/i_finally_found_the_cave_story_flash_game_clone/) reddit post which just so talked about the exact same game that I wished to know.

**Hi, looks like your post's title hasn't complied with rule 5 regarding our formatting**, and has been removed.
You are required to title your post as following: "*[platform][estimated year] Title of post*".
*As a dumb robot*, I am *only looking for the [square brackets surrounding your text], and not the text itself.* I'm not very smart, and your formatting of your title *must* contain both the platform and the estimated year, and those two things must be enclosed in square brackets, to give context to your fellow solvers.
Your post **has been removed** at this time. You can always come back here to your post, and your previously submitted content will not be lost. You are welcome to copy->paste your content, and make another post with the corrected title.
If you are for any reason unable to do this, or you wish to make a post you feel should be exempt from rule 5, you may always feel free to contact the moderators from the link below.
