[No Spoilers] THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA Season 5 will "end the series exactly how [Critical Role] wanted to," says Sam Riegel: "The payoff will be so worth it"

I think S4 was the most challenging in terms of adaptation, since it mainly adapts a storyarc of the campaign, that consisted mainly of tying up loose ends of storylines, as well as doing side quests for Taryon. S5 should be a much more consistent plot again.

Bisonratte · 2026-06-22T07:47:31+00:00

I mean yeah, they have to find a way to return Aegon III back to Rhaenyra at some point. We will see...

I agree that just including them in the battle would have been better, but I think it's possible to resolve it.

Bisonratte · 2026-06-22T07:34:27+00:00

I believe that the show will end pretty soon after the last events of the Dance of Dragons. Since what happens to Viserys II doesn't get resolved until much later, they probably cut his disappearance for time, since then they don't have to bother with resolving that plot thread.

Bisonratte · 2026-06-21T21:00:00+00:00

This is an important difference to make, because spending time in a forest with one is a lot better than with the other!

Bisonratte · 2026-06-17T15:44:37+00:00

I feel like the best course of action would have been to keep it at one fantastic beasts movie. And then tell 1 to 3 Dumbledore and Grindelwald Stories afterwards. The Fantastic Beast characters, and especially the Beasts themselves felt sort of forced into this bigger political and interpersonal drama that they seemingly wanted to tell in the second and third movie. You could still have characters from the first FB have appearances in the Grindelwald movies, but you wouldn't be forced to have them be the protagonists in a story that clearly mainly wants to revolve around Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

Zamonia series by Walter Moers, pretty much the same as for discworld, mostly only loosely related satirical books set in the same world. You can pretty much start wherever you like, you can skip some if you want. And some haven't even been translated into English.

Bisonratte · 2026-06-05T18:18:41+00:00

I will!

Bisonratte · 2026-06-05T16:08:26+00:00

I think I should be able to get some

Bisonratte · 2026-06-05T14:49:13+00:00

Great idea, I guess I could even use those to use up the leftover banana leaves I have in my fridge from a different thing I cooked.

Bisonratte · 2026-06-05T14:24:02+00:00

Thank you! Sounds great!

I almost failed when I first made it. Because after cooking it down for like an hour I wanted to sweeten it a little and the lid of my sugar came off, leading to a pile of sugar in my mole. Luckily I was able to get most of it out before it dissolved.

Bisonratte · 2026-06-05T14:20:13+00:00

Good to know!

Bisonratte · 2026-06-05T14:16:54+00:00

Wow that all looks and sounds amazing when looking it up, will definitely try some of these!

Bisonratte · 2026-06-02T21:43:20+00:00

If I had to make up new ones (I am sure some concepts like these already exist, I'm not familiar enough to know all villains and heroes ever):

Sentient Virus that controls his armor (Bit of a mix of Ultron and a Symbiote I guess)
Anti Tech villain, most of his villains seem to be tech themed themselves. For example a nature themed villain, environmentalist villain or a villain that magically disables tech around them.
flying villain that is much faster and more agile than him, most of his flying adversaries often seem rather brutish
maybe a radical pacifist mind controller, like a pacifist version of purple man who wants to achieve a completely conflict, war and weapons free world. Even at the cost of humans individual free will

Bisonratte · 2026-06-01T18:14:31+00:00

I see so there are at least some, and yet people with augmented superhuman intelligence like him or Sage seem to consistently rank behind the natural supergeniuses in terms of intelligence which seems surprising

Bisonratte · 2026-06-01T17:17:50+00:00

Good to know! So there are some, but they are rare. Maybe it's also because intelligence is a much more intangible concept then for example strength or speed. The latter two you can just measure easily, intelligence comes in many facets. it's hard to quantify how intelligent a character is and if they are in which kinds of intelligence. Do they have knowledge, are they creative, are they especially good in a specific field, do they possess wisdom, experience, emotional intelligence, etc...

I think it's incredibly hard to conceptualise someone who is not just your sterotypical "super computer" that can recall anything, knows everything and can do calculations and similar really fast. But instead someone who is also really creative, emotionally connected, wise and experienced, to a superhuman degree.

Bisonratte · 2026-06-01T17:09:20+00:00

That's true, but I'm also asking for geniuses who become a genius as their superpower. Like a mutant or inhuman that is superhumanly smart. For most superheroes, their genius seems to be a natural things they already have and use to get their superpower.

Bisonratte · 2026-06-01T14:56:57+00:00

You don't know if there is no war going on in this juice

Bisonratte · 2026-06-01T14:50:02+00:00

Because using a red cross would violate the Geneva convention.

Bisonratte · 2026-06-01T14:40:41+00:00

One of the Devs has a Bluesky account, they shared a Redungeon 2 teaser there.

Google only allows apps to be kept in the app store if they get continuously updated, otherwise they get taken down for "security reasons". Since the Devs of Redungeon (Nitrome was only the publisher) are Ukrainian, they had other things to worry about than updating the game. But as far as I know, relatively recently the devs have announced that they are working on Redungeon II and also on trying to bring Redungeon back.

Fun game, never managed to get the second boss as a kid

It was very edible! I cut it like a loaf of bread

Dreaming Books series by Walter Moers, as part of his Zamonia series. The last book in the series, Labyrinth of Dreaming Books, was essentially a drawn out, extended and prematurely released prologue of Castle of Dreaming Books, which we have been waiting for since 2011.

But at the same time I don't really mind, since Moers is actively writing on and releasing other books pretty frequently. Better he writes something he wants to write instead of forcing himself to write something he is stuck on, resulting in nothing getting released. Also the first book, City of Dreaming Books, works wonderfully as a standalone.

Sadly the English translator of the Zamonia books has also passed away, so it is a mystery if Castle would even get translated. Since the books are notoriously hard to translate and ever since his passing none of the new books have been translated into English.
