They were a boy and a girl and I think they were the only portrayed characters, there were no monsters nor enemies, only traps and their psychological challanges. They did find bodies and skeletons of those that came before them, though, and deduced clues about who and why trapped them there and where traps are hidden.

The artwork was similar to The Black Cauldron and it may have come out between the 1980s and 2000s. Vibe was similar to the Cube movies, but it felt less SF (the walls were stone and it was an actual maze).

When I was little (must've been the early 2000's), I saw a thick book from an edition that now I know to be characteristic for the 1960's or at the latest 1970's. The cover was very minimalistic (if it was the original cover at all) and there were few pictures, but the ones that were there, were fantastic. They usually depicted large landscapes with tiny characters in them (I remember a big ominous looking castle with a rider approaching the bridge), forests with ridiculously tall trees, giants (or gigantic statues?) and slender, cloaked sorcerers. The story was super long and the main goal was to get to some castle or temple and defeat and evil overlord, or something. Pretty generic, but the vibe and atmosphere really got kid me. I also probably didn't understand most, as I could barely read. I think the book ended just as the heroes were to reach their destination.

Now, the difficult part: it was NOT the Lord of the Rings nor Narnia. I've read those and it's something else. The title was something along the lines of ,,Great Mage" or ,,Grand Sorcerer". Failed to google that correctly. It was most likely a translation to my native language, so the original title (no idea from what country) may have as well been completely different.

oh and the pictures were in monochroms if that helps

Looking for cool and fun action movies (spy, shootout, explosions, terrorism, doesn't matter) where the combat is taking place in an industrial setting, such as a scrapyard, shipyard, abandoned mine, oil rig, railway/metro station, airport, trade harbour, that kind of thing. 1980's style Ramboesque over-the-topness will be an additional bonus, but I am very open to new movies that emulate that vibe as well. The plot isn't really important, as long as the action is entertaining.

This is kinda meta and not serious, but at the same time also kinda is. I know it wouldn't be the end of the world and you could play both games (or just TES 6 because you like the franchise more).

But, really, how would you react? Let down? Or just happy TES VI is out anyway? What do you think are the chances of that? I remember W3 being hailed as a ,,Skyrim kilker" upon release, but at least they were a few years apart. W4 and TES 6 look like they might have a very similar release date.

Or in a different scenario, do you think it's possible TES VI will release AFTER Witcher 4 and turn out not as good?

Hey all, looking for some more upbeat songs about new beginnings (think finishing school or graduating or moving to a different state or breakup) - doesn't have to be literally about that (actually, it's even better, if it's not, as these are just examples), but I want that general vibe.

Songs that feel like late summer after your last year at school/university, basically. Something ends, something begins, and it's OK feels.

What I am expecting is very 1990's to 2010's indie alternative post punk hipster folk pop, but I am also open to being surprised. Please no angry breakup songs or ,,Imma show everybody how edgy I am" metalcore lol
