The best new streamer on Twitch dares to call DrDisrespect (41) “old”

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

At 41 years old, DrDisrespect is an unusual gaming influencer. This was recently noted by the Twitch streamer Nicholas “Jynzxi” (22), who has just been voted Newcomer of the Year on Twitch. But the “Two-Time” doesn’t let just anything slide.

Who is “Jxnzi”?

The 22-year-old Jynxzi is the clear winner on Twitch in 2023. The shooter specialist has gone from a small streamer to a giant on Twitch in just one year:

  • In 2022, he averaged 1,334 viewers – in February 2024, it’s 87,929 viewers.
  • The streamer is successful with a rather unusual game: Rainbow Six Siege. He completely dominates the shooter. In 2023, he had three times more viewers than the official channel and 15 times more than the second-placed solo streamer.
  • At the Streamer Awards 2024 by QTCinderella, Jynxzi was voted Gamer of the Year and “Breakthrough” streamer of the year.

DrDisrespect was a celebrity on Twitch – His ban remains a big mystery to this day

“DrDisrespect is the oldest of the big streamers” – An OG

What did he say about DrDisrespect? Jynxzi talked about DrDisrespect in a podcast with a friend, Tanner “CaseOh”, and referred to him as “the oldest big streamer:”

“That guy is an OG. I used to watch him play H1Z1 back in the day, man.”

His friend said it’s pretty crazy to still be playing in your “40s.” That seems so far away. But at that age, you just have to be able to chill. There aren’t many 40-year-old streamers still in the game. But DrDisrespect is still going strong.

“Watch your mouth!”

How does DrDisrespect react? The 41-year-old streamer does not appreciate being questioned about his age. He responded:

“Watch your mouth when you talk about the Two-Time! I’m only about 26 and still in my prime!”

How is this being discussed? Many of the Doctor’s fans see it as a compliment that young up-and-comers show him respect in this way.

Some even joke: The young pups should first pay royalties when they bring up DrDisrespect’s name.

But DrDisrespect is already used to it. Even xQc showed no respect for his age, even though DrDisrespect is only 26… so there you go.

Last Epoch: 3 Best Classes for Beginners and Newcomers

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

In Last Epoch there are many classes and masteries available to players. Those who are new might feel overwhelmed by the choices. Therefore, we will show you 3 classes that you can’t go wrong with.

How many classes are there? In Last Epoch, there are a total of 5 classes. Each class also has three subclasses that can enhance your chosen class throughout the gameplay and expand your playstyle. The following classes are available to you:

  • Mage (Wizard)
  • Rogue (Thief)
  • Primalist (Barbarian)
  • Acolyte (Necromancer)
  • Sentinel (Paladin)

Since the choice is great at the beginning, we will show you three classes that you can’t go wrong with as a novice – they are strong and beginner-friendly.

Last Epoch: These are the three best classes for beginners

We have focused our recommendations on classes that are easy to understand yet can have a significant impact on the battlefield. Now let’s move on to our selection. We will show you the classes and explain what makes them so good.

Rogue

Last Epoch Rogue Marksman Press Kit

Why is this class so good? The Rogue is a beginner-friendly class in Last Epoch. With the agile fighter, you not only have melee skills but also ranged skills, allowing you to attack your opponents from a safe distance at first. Once you become more confident, you can try effective melee combat.

Besides its stealthy way of attacking from the shadows, the Rogue also has poisonous talents and options to escape from the fray with smoke if things get heated.

Mage

Last Epoch Runemaster

Why is this class so good? The Mage is an arcane class with all sorts of powerful spells that can cover the battlefield. In addition to elemental magic, which you can easily create from a distance, you can also unlock new talents through your subclasses later in your journey that can either unleash powerful melee attacks or create runes in the form of traps on the ground.

Thus, the Mage is a powerful class at the beginning with low health, but it becomes even more powerful if you develop the right build.

Sentinel

Last Epoch ARPG

Why is this class so good? The Sentinel is a versatile class that is hard to destroy. With its large health pool, the Sentinel is highly survivable and is suitable for those who like to make mistakes in combat.

The class also has a wide range of talents that you can unlock through subclasses. Do you want to heal your teammates as a holy Paladin or charge through your enemies as a pure tank? Then the Sentinel is your class.

What you need to consider: In our list, we have focused on the easy playability of the individual classes. They should be deadly, effective, and easy to play so that every newcomer can find their way in Last Epoch without being crushed immediately.

If you see other favorites on the list, feel free to let us know your thoughts in the comments, and tell us which class you started your journey with in Last Epoch.

Pokémon GO honors father of a player in a special way: “A monument in his memory”

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, PokéStops can be a variety of things. A trainer reports that a very special memorial stone has now become a PokéStop.

What kind of PokéStop is it? A Pokémon GO trainer on Reddit reports that he has returned to his home in rural Ireland after a long absence. During this visit, a friend pointed him to a very special PokéStop.

The PokéStop is a memorial stone. And it is no less than the one of his father. The memorial is a throne made of stone, as his deceased father taught the people in the community the art of stonemasonry.

Start video
Pokémon GO shows the new season “Timeless Travels” in the trailer

How does a PokéStop actually come to be in Pokémon GO? PokéStops in Pokémon GO are created through submissions by trainers. Players who are at least level 38 can submit any PokéStop, which is then reviewed by other trainers in Pokémon GO. Depending on this review, a new PokéStop may or may not be created.

“Definitely proud, that’s so cool.“

What does the trainer say about it? The trainer is proud of this monument to his father that will now always accompany him in Pokémon GO. In response to another trainer’s inquiry if he is proud of it or finds it disrespectful, he replies: Definitely proud, that’s so cool.

In another comment regarding whether such a monument is common in Ireland compared to a gravestone, the trainer also notes: It is not his actual grave but a monument in his memory erected by people who loved him because he taught them the stonemasonry craft.

So the trainer now also has a beautiful memory of his deceased father in Pokémon GO, of which he is proud.

All Pokémon marked with a * can also be encountered in their Shiny variant.

Our most important articles on the Sinnoh Tour 2024:

GTA Online: What do Strengths bring you and how do you improve them?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In GTA Online, one of the character stats is strength. We will show you here what a high value in strength brings and how you can quickly increase it.

What is it about? Your characters in GTA Online have various stats that can be skilled. At the very beginning, you can distribute a few points. During your adventures in online mode, you will improve them even further. The most important stats are:

  • Stamina
  • Shooting
  • Strength
  • Flying
  • Driving
  • Stealth
  • Lung Capacity

In this article, we want to clarify questions about strength that many new and also existing players have.

What is strength used for and what does it do?

This is what it’s good for: The more strength you have in GTA Online, the harder you hit and kick in close combat. Also, your damage taken is reduced with every point in strength.

  • Your melee damage is increased
  • You climb ladders faster
  • Your athletic abilities are improved
  • Damage taken is reduced – even with armor

You see that strength is an important stat to be successful in the online world of GTA 5. Taking less damage is useful if you want to make a lot of millions of dollars in the heists of GTA Online with friends.

It is advisable for every character to increase the strength value. But how do you do that?

Leveling strength in GTA Online

Here’s how to level the stat: The rule of thumb in GTA Online is that you gain 1% strength for every 20 hits. You can box your friends in online sessions or beat up NPCs.

For a while, it was possible to hit cars with your friends sitting in them. But that no longer increases strength now.

GTA 5 Online Bikers DLC Preview Gangs
As a biker president, there is a mission available to you where you can skill strength well

Tips for leveling: Those who own a biker business will eventually receive the tasks during a mission to box information out of an informant at a construction site. You can kick and punch him repeatedly while he is on the ground – he is immortal (via reddit).

Other players on reddit suggest starting the mission “Blow Up III” by Simeon. During the mission, you should then travel to the hospital and beat people up there. After a while, paramedics will show up who can take a few hits and will fight back. You can train your skill well on them.

Alternatively, you can engage in sports like golf or tennis. This will also increase your strength value.

Now you can pump up your character’s muscles and be better off in the next close combat.

But what good are all those muscles if money is tight? Many wonder whether you can sell properties like houses or garages in GTA Online to make money again.

Steam hit Sons Of The Forest releases full version – Provides huge update and a new ending

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

Sons Of The Forest has recently left Early Access and released a huge update to version 1.0. In addition to many small improvements, players can look forward to a new, alternative ending.

What kind of update is this? Sons Of The Forest had been in Early Access for a year on Steam, after the game was postponed multiple times before. Yesterday, exactly one year after the release of the “Early Access” version, the game received the long-awaited update 1.0 from fans, which includes over 250 changes, improvements, bug fixes, and new features.

One feature is particularly exciting; until now, players could complete Sons Of The Forest in its early form and reach the end. However, the developers have now added a new, alternative ending.

If you want to start a new save with the new version, we have 5 tips for a good start in the game:

Start video
5 Tips for a Good Start in Sons of the Forest

Players can experience a new ending

What’s included in the update? The update reads like a long list full of ideas, wishes, and improvements that players of the game have been waiting for a long time. The new ending, which players can choose and which we cannot go into details about for spoiler reasons, is likely to please fans just as much as an old acquaintance who now appears in the game.

We are talking about little Timmy from the first part The Forest, who is also voiced by Shawn Ashmore. You may know him from various movies like X-Men: Days of Future Past, Acts of Violence, or the series The Boys.

In the new update, you will also be watched by Jianyu helicopters circling your bases to see what you are up to. Overall, the patch notes read very positively; there are many changes included that are supposed to improve the gameplay and make the atmosphere even more exciting.

What changes in the gameplay? Many details are also changing in the gameplay.

The developers have integrated a new system that will make you sick if you drink unfiltered water or eat spoiled food.

The story of the game has also been further expanded beyond the optional ending. For the new version 1.0, the developers recommend starting a new save to experience all features. While old saves are compatible, they do not represent some of the new features.

A company loses 80 million euros due to a small error – However, the culprit is not punished

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

A Norwegian bank loses around 80 million euros due to a decimal error. However, the mistake was only noticed months later because the data did not match. The “culprit” will not be punished, as the bank stated.

Errors happen to everyone, but it is especially frustrating when a small, unintentional mistake leads to significant damage in the millions. This recently happened to a Norwegian bank. An employee made a typo, which resulted in a substantial financial loss.

Wrong date causes chaos and millions in losses

What kind of error was this? Certain data and figures were entered into a huge Excel spreadsheet at the bank. And this is where the error occurred: According to the responsible parties, who chose to remain anonymous, the problem arose when the wrong date was entered. Our French colleagues from Jeuxvideo.com report this.

Instead of November 1st, the employee entered December 1st. What seems like a tiny error led to such a mess that it ultimately caused a loss of 900 million Norwegian kroner, which is approximately 80 million euros.

When was the error discovered? The error was only discovered by the bank after several months. The figures for the year-end did not match, and although the problem was quickly recognized and resolved, the damage had already been done.

What happens next? The bank itself stated that it does not want to punish the employee and explained that such a mistake could happen to anyone who conducts “complex operations.” The bank also emphasized that it can learn from this mistake to prevent such losses from occurring again. In an email from the bank’s CEO to employees, it states:

These things just happen! We are conducting a complex operation, and what surprises me the most is that, historically, we have had very few or no such incidents. They are both super professional and an important contribution to success.

Don’t let this ruin your weekend.

Pokémon MMO Temtem is not being developed further – CEO explains why they prefer to make a new game

Fabienne Kissel Fabienne Kissel Reading time 2 minutes

The MMO in the style of Pokémon, Temtem, will no longer be developed. Instead, the Spanish development studio CremaGames is focusing on a new game. The CEO now speaks about the reasons.

Instead of major updates for Temtem, CEO Enrique Paños from Crema announced that the development team is working on a new game – a co-op roguelike titled Temtem: Swarm.

This decision has divided opinions in the community, with some players curious about the new direction while others are disappointed. The CEO has now addressed the community.

Here you can take a look at the new game from CremaGames:

Start video
New Roguelike Temtem: Swarm – Official Trailer

Why the MMO is focusing on a new game

What was said? In a detailed message from the CEO shared by Kikill0 (one of the developers) on Discord and later reposted on Reddit, it is emphasized that the community’s expectation of infinite content is unrealistic.

He states:

The community expects to add infinite content, which is time-consuming and costly, just because it bears the MMO label, but MMO does not mean infinite. It is compared to other MMOs, even though Crema has clarified since 2018 that it would not be like these MMOs. However, when compared to other MMOs, the small detail that these MMOs have a subscription model or are free with pay-to-win practices is forgotten. In that way, they are sustainable.

Kikill0 via Reddit

He also emphasized that Temtem already offers at least 50 hours of adventure and an additional 50 hours of side quests and various features that are not part of the adventure.

Moreover, he also apologized to the PvP community for the errors that occurred in the patches and stressed that measures are planned.

This realization likely led the development team to decide to focus on a new game rather than continue investing resources in the development of Temtem.

In conclusion, Kikill0 stated that Temtem will continue to be updated and improved, but not at the pace or scope desired by the players. He emphasized that Temtem has kept its promises and has even delivered more than expected.

He expressed understanding that the end result may not please all players, but pointed out that it is not possible to create infinite content or change the fundamentals of the game. The CEO thanked everyone and added that the new game Temtem: Swarm was developed with a lot of love.

What do you think about this? Are you excited for the roguelike or would you prefer more content for Temtem?

What happened to the AI that attracted thousands of viewers as a Twitch streamer and was then banned?

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

A Twitch streamer caused quite a stir at the end of 2022. Behind the girl is an artificial intelligence. What has become of the streamer who attracted thousands of viewers in just a few weeks?

The Twitch streamer Neuro-Sama made headlines in December 2022 among gamers. Behind the pretty virtual facade of a girl officially stands an artificial intelligence and not a real person, as is the case with so-called Vtubers.

But where does Neuro-Sama currently stand and how is the streamer doing in 2024?

Neuro-sama becomes an active personality in 2022, then faced her first ban

Who or what is Neuro-sama? Neuro-Sama is an AI, who appears as a Vtuber on Twitch. She has existed since 2019, but at that time she had no personality and had only one task: to win the rhythm game osu!

N.E.U.R.O. stands for “Non-Emotive Understanding and Reasoning Operation” and Sama stands for Samantha.

It became really exciting only on December 19, 2022. On that day, the AI was launched with its own personality that could interact with its viewers. By the way, this was initiated by a user named Vedal987. He describes himself as a “student with a special interest in AI”, and nothing official is known about him. This marked the start of the major breakthrough of the AI streamer on Twitch.

Why did this AI excite so many viewers? Vedal developed and adapted the personality himself. The AI uses so-called “large language models”: the artificial intelligence is trained with texts and thus has a broad knowledge base to draw from. At the same time, it can scour millions of responses on the internet to find out how to properly answer or react to a specific question. This makes her responses feel very natural and human-like.

The Twitch ban in early 2023: Just a few weeks later, in early January 2023, the AI streamer received a ban. Allegedly, it was due to controversial statements regarding the Holocaust and execution methods. Time and again, trolls try to manipulate the AI with information or questions to make it say strange things.

After the ban, AI streamer returns, ranked among the most viewed female streamers by the end of 2023

What happened next? The creator “Vedal” announced that the AI streamer would return. But in a changed and adapted form so that there would not be any more issues or even another ban.

About two weeks later, on January 25, 2023, Neuro-Sama returned to Twitch and immediately gained 100,000 followers.

Over the past months, “Neuro-Sama” significantly increased her number of viewers and followers. On September 1, 2023, the streamer reached 400,000 followers. Her videos regularly reach more than 500,000 viewers on Twitch. However, there are also videos that receive only a few thousand clicks.

Another milestone was reached by Neuro-Sama in December 2023: She was among the 10 most viewed female Twitch streamers. She ranked 5th with over 361,000 viewed hours, even surpassing the well-known Twitch streamer Emiru (339,000 hours).

The success was partly due to a “Birthday Subathon” that took place for a week in December and was reported to be very successful.

neurosama twitch 2023
By the end of 2023, Neuro-Sama was among the 10 most viewed female Twitch streamers. Here at position 5.

In 2024, the AI streamer has not streamed for a minute, yet reaches 500,000 followers

What is the current situation? Currently (as of February 2024), the streamer is on a break from Twitch. The creator stated on Twitter that he is currently raising a (robot) dog and therefore has no time. He at least posted a picture of the robot on Twitter.

However, it is quite likely that the AI will stream again in 2024. After all, the streamer surpassed 500,000 followers in January 2024, and the creator is also very successful with merchandise products related to Neuro-Sama.

The last major action taken by Neuro-Sama was shortly before Christmas: Here, the streamer and her developer accidentally gave away millions of plush toys. You can read all about how the situation unfolded directly on our site MeinMMO:

Bungie bans one of the best and most renowned players from Destiny 2

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

That players get banned in Destiny 2 is common, but this time it has hit one of the most illustrious among them. According to his own statements, he was banned unjustly, for a very peculiar reason.

Who is it about? The “Destiny 2” pro Cruz is known to many players. He is among the best and most illustrious players of the game and has completed 4 World Firsts, among other achievements. World Firsts refer to the first completions of new, difficult content. Cruz was also invited to events by “Destiny 2” developer Bungie.

However, the pro has now been hit hard, as his account was banned in Destiny 2, along with his achievements.

Here you can see the most epic moments of the saga of Light and Darkness.

Start video
Destiny 2: The Most Epic Moments of the Light and Darkness Saga

Pro allegedly banned for cheating in another game

Why was he banned? Initially, Cruz thought he had been banned because of a build he advised his followers against in a tweet. However, according to Bungie, he was banned for a program that attempted to access the game’s memory. The program was recognized as a “cheat program” by the Destiny 2 anti-cheat system, leading to the player’s ban. 

Did Cruz cheat in Destiny 2? According to his own statements, Cruz may have had cheating software running for the strategy game Total War: Shogun 2. With it, he wanted to cheat some money – similar to entering motherlode in Sims. 

Although he claims to have closed the program, it likely continued running in the background and was detected by Destiny 2’s anti-cheat system, or so he suspects. 

What does Cruz say about it? Cruz has been permanently banned and cannot submit another unban request. On X (formerly Twitter), he expressed his emotions.

You simply can’t make this up, man. Given that I’ve described the program in detail and what it is intended for (no changes to files or inputs related to gaming), this is UNBELIEVABLE! Well played, guys, the [ban] was real, but this is something I can’t respect. No discussion … just a simple statement that they are claiming the truth.

How is the community reacting? The community is very upset about the ban on X (formerly Twitter). Cruz, who has been playing the game for 10 years, seems credible to users. Some also feel that they should focus on dealing with real cheaters instead of banning someone for this.

AboveTP writes: “I’m so sorry, buddy … hopefully this will be resolved one way or another.”

Alex_cammarato writes: “They can’t recognize people who are flying hacking and using infinite ammunition for Xenophage, but they ban people who have mods for Total War running in the background. This game is so twisted.”

VibeOCE writes: “The fact that it’s easier to buy hacks from a website and not get banned these days is crazy to me.

A 4-time champion who has a program that helps you with the economy in a real-time strategy game must get banned. They really outdid themselves.”

Do you find the ban justified or are you on the side of Bungie, whose anti-cheat system detected the program? Feel free to let us know in the comments. Recently, a player wanted to prove that Blizzard has no customer service at all and set a trap for it.

The chef behind Elden Ring has ensured that even the toughest among you will despair at the new bosses of the DLC

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

Hidetaka Miyazaki, the mastermind behind the creation of the Souls genre, revealed news about the upcoming DLC for Elden Ring “Shadow of the Erdtree” in an exclusive interview with IGN. We present you the key details.

What kind of interview was it? On February 21, shortly after FromSoftware released the new gameplay trailer for the upcoming DLC “Shadow of the Erdtree”, IGN unveiled an extensive interview (via ign.com) with the great mind behind Elden Ring, Hidetaka Miyazaki.

The interview revolved around important information regarding the DLC – such as the size of the map, the difficulty of the bosses, and what players can expect at release. The most interesting aspect here are mainly the bosses that fans of the game will have to grapple with.

If you have been concerned about their difficulty, we can reassure you – the bosses will be challenging.

Optional bosses are trimmed similarly to Malenia

What does Hidetaka Miyazaki say about the bosses? In the interview with IGN authors Mitchell Saltzman and Hidetaka Miyazaki, the question was raised about how the team behind the DLC has adjusted the difficulty and thus the bosses in the game. Two years post-release, many players would have a high level and possess the best equipment. Hidetaka answered this question as follows:

Our overall approach to difficulty in Elden Ring has, of course, not changed. We want to create a challenging experience that tests the players and gives them a sense of satisfaction and achievement when they overcome these challenges. However, we want to emphasize that there is still a certain approach and a broad variety of strategies involved in these encounters. […] The same philosophy is adopted in Shadow of the Erdtree. And again for our hardcore players: You will find optional bosses that have been adjusted in a similar way to Malenia, which you surely remember from the base game and which are not essential.

The relevant bosses in the DLC are constructed just like those from the base game – challenging, but doable. If they are too hard, you can return later and try your luck again. The optional bosses are meant for the tough warriors among you.

However, Miyazaki clarifies that you should not expect a new Malenia. This boss is and remains one of the hardest bosses of the franchise, but the optional bosses are still meant to be difficult and, above all, just as memorable as Malenia herself.

So, we have to wait and see how the team behind the upcoming DLC has created the bosses and what weapons they will take into battle against the Tainted. Either way, fans will have a long battle with the bosses, as one is accustomed to in Souls games from FromSoftware.

Are there any more important updates from the interview? The interview also revealed hints about the map. Its size is said to be equal to, if not larger than, the starting area “Limgrave”.

The map is supposed to offer more content in terms of quantity, providing many smaller and larger dungeons. These will also have bosses and items that you can loot, just like in the base game.

Moreover, Hidetaka confirms that the team currently has no plans for a second DLC. Shadow of the Erdtree could thus be the first and last DLC for Elden Ring. Whether a sequel to Elden Ring will be released, Hidetaka has also left open.

What do you think about the bosses? Has the trailer already sparked your excitement for the upcoming DLC, or are you waiting for feedback from the community? Let us know in the comments!

Diablo 4: Which class is best for playing solo?

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 2 minutes

Diablo 4 cannot be played offline. So, when you’re out and about in Sanctuary, you frequently encounter other players. Playing in groups is fun, but playing alone also has its charm. Therefore, we want to know from you which class is the best for solo play.

In Diablo 4, there are currently five different classes that play fundamentally differently:

  • Barbarians focused on melee combat and weapons
  • Druids who wield nature magic and can transform
  • Hunters who fight with bows, poison, and daggers
  • Necromancers with their undead companions
  • Wizards who use the elements for destructive magic

To help you find the right class for you, we have created a separate article as guidance: Which class suits me? An overview of all 5 classes with builds & gameplay. You can read in our article about the best classes and builds in the current endgame which advanced builds lead our tier list in the current third season.

Start video
Diablo 4: The gameplay trailer for Season 3

Playing Diablo 4 alone? Vote: Which class is best suited?

Blizzard sees the shared open world as an essential feature of Diablo 4 that they do not want to give up. You always have people around you whom you can take along for dungeon runs or boss fights. Sometimes, however, you may not feel like it and just want to hack through the game alone.

We now want to know from you which class is the best for such a “solo run”? Cast your vote here:

Of course, we are also interested in why you favor this class. Feel free to write us in the comments what makes this particular class the best for you. Please also let us know if you have a specific build you favor or if there are items without which you would never want to go alone.

If you say that you always play with others, we also find that interesting. We recently reported on such a player: Players are happy about generous strangers in Diablo 4: “I get more from randoms than from my clan”

Twitch streamer without a driver’s license transfers car for 290,000 € to his girlfriend – she is now selling it

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyl bought a luxury car in 2021, a McLaren 720S Spider Coupe. Since he did not have a driver’s license, he registered the car in his then-girlfriend Adept’s name. Two years and one ugly breakup later, he apparently regrets it: Adept has now sold the car.

This was the story back then:

  • xQc flexed in front of his viewers in December 2021 with a new car. At that time, xQc was on a high, had extremely high earnings on Twitch.
  • At that time, he decided to “treat himself”. When he saw the car, it clicked for him. He planned to get his driver’s license eventually.
  • At the time, his heated on-off relationship with the streamer Adept, which often had its ups and downs, was just on “On”. Nevertheless, there was much discussion when it came out that he had registered the car in her name. For xQc, however, it was just a formality.

Ugly breakup between Adept and xQc

When did things get difficult? Eventually, there was an ugly, publicly fought breakup between xQc and Adept.

Adept stated that she and xQc were married under the laws of the state of Texas because they had lived in a common-law relationship. She sued xQc in a divorce proceeding.

xQc denied this and portrayed it as if Adept was only trying to profit financially from him after the breakup. According to xQc, they were never married. He said the relationship failed when he was feeling down and he had the impression that Adept was now after his money.

Adept had already threatened during the breakup to sell the sports car, which legally belonged to her. She also made allegations against xQc of sexual harassment.

However, this backfired, and ultimately the court also dismissed the divorce case. xQc triumphed.

Adept has apparently sold the car

This was the situation in February 2024: In February 2024, rumors increased that Adept was having financial troubles and planned to sell items belonging to xQc.

However, xQc’s lawyers supposedly obtained a court order on February 20 that protects xQc’s “possessions” (via dexerto).

This is the latest development: Someone actually contacted xQc on Twitter and told him, supported by photos, that he had bought the McLaren from Adept.

However, xQc believes that he is in the right here and that Adept unlawfully sold the car, against the court order he obtained, which prohibits her from selling the car.

The streamer repeatedly says his famous phrase “It is what it is” and apparently believes that Adept has gotten herself into legal trouble here and that he will get the car back through legal means.

As xQc explains, he was offered to buy the car back, but he will not do so. The legal proceedings are ongoing, and he feels justified in that.

This is how it’s being discussed: The discussion about xQc and his wealth is very charged, as many fans of xQc now demonize Adept and portray her as a gold digger who is only after money. It is said that she also demanded a settlement of $2 million from xQc.

Adept, in turn, accuses xQc of having treated her poorly in the relationship and has repeatedly hinted that she feels cheated by xQc.

Overall, this is a very complicated and unfortunate situation.

During her relationship with xQc, Adept also had to endure a lot: The 27-year-old explains how much she and the world’s largest Twitch streamer suffered

Marvel snaps away the new supervillain who was supposed to replace Thanos

Marie Friske Marie Friske Reading time 2 minutes

Jonathan Majors, the actor of supervillain Kang was found guilty in court. After Marvel already fired him, the company is now reportedly taking further steps to limit the character’s influence on the comic universe even more.

Just like Thanos erased the heroes with a snap in Avengers 3: Infinity War, Marvel is reportedly also trying to erase Kang from their universe as much as possible.

Why does Marvel want to get rid of Kang? The actor Jonathan Majors was found guilty of violent assaults against his ex-girlfriend in court.

Just a few hours after the verdict, Marvel announced the end of the actor’s MCU career: Jonathan Majors was fired.

You can watch a trailer for the last Avengers movie featuring the villain Thanos here:

Avengers 5 may receive a new title

According to sources from The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel now wants to clean up the whole situation with Jonathan Majors.

They are already rewriting the films that were supposed to feature the villain Kang, either to completely remove the character from the scripts or at least reduce his influence.

Additionally, the 5th and latest Avengers film was set to be released under the title Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. However, according to reports, they will also choose a new name here to remove the character from it as well.

However, the title change was reportedly not made solely because of the court verdict. Even before it was announced, they had already begun to minimize the character’s presence after Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania, which was the first major film with Kang, performed poorly.

The 5th installment of the superhero series is planned for spring 2026. The subsequent part, Avengers 6: Secret Wars, is set to be released one year later, in 2027.

It remains open whether the character Kang will be completely removed or if another actor will take over the villain role as a less influential character.

Insider report reveals the player numbers of Skull and Bones – Even the developers understand the low interest

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

Ubisoft’s pirate game Skull and Bones is currently falling short of expectations. An insider report now reveals how many people are playing the game. The reasons for the low numbers even come from the developers themselves.

How is Skull and Bones performing? The release of the game was on February 16, 2024. Since then, both critics and players have been able to form an impression.

On Metacritic, things don’t look particularly bright at the moment. The meta score is at 61 points, and the user score is 3.6.

What are the player numbers? An insider report (via inside-gaming.com) brings some light into the darkness. According to the source, Skull and Bones currently has around 850,000 players in total. This also includes those who haven’t purchased the game but are trying the demo version.

The free demo is quite extensive with eight hours of gameplay. According to the report, many players are relatively engaged and play between three and four hours a day.

The only question is whether this will change when the demo expires and players have to pay the full price of 70 euros.

A major issue may be the price

What could be the reasons for the low player numbers? The elephant in the room is probably the high price of the game. Ubisoft charges “only” 59.99 € for Skull and Bones on PC, but on PS5 and Xbox, the game costs a hefty 79.99 €.

All this for a game that might work better with a free-to-play model. Ubisoft has already commented on the price, calling Skull and Bones a AAAA game.

However, the price is also controversial within the developer studio. One employee expressed it as follows:

I think we all know this is at best a $30-$40 game, but it’s not within our control to determine these things.

Anonymous employee via insider-gaming.com

Earlier reports already indicated that the game has cost a lot to produce, estimated at $200 million, during a ten-year development period. Thousands of employees worked in 11 different studios on Skull and Bones. This led to repeated delays in the schedule and creative direction changes. At least Ubisoft solved an annoying problem right before the release.

Currently, there are probably still some players busy with the demo. It remains to be seen how many of them will be convinced and then ready to pay the full price.

On Reddit, players aren’t holding back with their opinions:

  • “70 dollars for this crap. If you want to play Skull and Bones, better play Assassin’s Creed Black Flag or Sea of Thieves,” writes smolgote.
  • “I mean, they forgot to release half the game. There’s no treasure hunting, no dueling (melee and gun combat), no boarding enemy ships, no explorable land…” says thenewredhoodie.
  • “Just wait, the game will be great in 2-3 years,” writes JamesLikesIt ironically.

The coming days and weeks will show how Skull and Bones continues to be received by players. The German streamer Maurice Weber has already made his judgment.

Nightingale: Players want exactly one thing – and the developers deliver

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The complaints about Nightingale have helped. The developers are giving fans what they want: a mode that does not require an internet connection.

A few days ago, the early access for Nightingale started. And although many are already having fun, it is still overshadowed by one circumstance: The controversial “Always Online” requirement demands players to be constantly connected to the internet. This not only affects the ratings on Steam but also significantly reduces the gaming enjoyment.

However, the developers have now clarified: In the future, this will no longer be necessary, and they are working on a new mode.

Start video
This Is Nightingale – Extended Gameplay Overview

What is the problem? Nightingale currently requires all players to be permanently connected to the internet and the game servers. Even when they want to explore completely alone and without other players. Even when playing solo, one must be online at all times.

This is additionally complicated by the fact that there are still frequent server overloads and thus disconnects. Even when one is out on their own, the connection can break, and they get kicked from the game.

Nightingale Discord Quote Offline Mode
The two announcements from the Nightingale Discord.

What was said? In the game’s Discord, Inflexion announced that they are now “prioritizing” the development of an offline mode and are working on it. More specifically, it says:

We have seen a lot of discussion in recent days around our decision to make Nightingale in early access a “online-only” game. We understand that this can be frustrating for several reasons.

Our vision for the game from the beginning was to create an interconnected series of realms, with the idea of cooperative exploration – a universe that is larger than a single realm or server. This meant that we had to make an early decision in development: to support coop on Day 1 or to develop an offline mode.

Cooperative gameplay, connected with a group of members across multiple realms, was the technically challenging problem, and so we tackled that first. Looking back now, we underestimated what some of you are looking for in your [game] experience.

We are prioritizing and developing an offline mode that we want to release as soon as possible. […]

This, by the way, does not mean that work on other content will stop. In response to this concern, they further stated:

Regarding our recent announcement: The development of the offline mode does not mean that we will stop or deprioritize the development of regular features, updates, quality-of-life improvements, or bug fixes.

We also understand the concerns about how offline players can potentially impact online players. We will address these concerns in a future update when we finalize the exact details of the mode.

When will it come? There is no release timeframe yet. However, one should keep an eye out for news in the “coming weeks” where other content currently being worked on by the developers will also be discussed.

Some fans, however, also note that the “Always Online” requirement may not be so bad once the game is running smoothly and disconnects become a rarity.

For everyone who is bothered by this or simply does not have a consistently reliable internet connection, the announcement of a pure offline mode is, however, a good thing that cannot come soon enough.

Have you already checked out Nightingale? Or are you also waiting for a mode without online requirements?

Diablo 4: Blizzard hints that the best feature from Season 2 will return soon

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard will soon deliver new information about upcoming features in Diablo 4. Players are particularly likely to perk up about one of them.

What’s going on in Diablo 4? Blizzard has announced the next “Campfire Chat” for February 29 at 8:00 PM. Members of the development team will discuss new content for the “Season of the Construct,” which runs from January 2024.

According to the announcement, this includes:

  • Tests and challenges
  • A weekly rotating dungeon

Additionally, the developers want to talk about leaderboards and balance updates, as well as a point that might appeal to fans of Season 2: “bloodthirsty powers that are honing their return.” In the English version, it’s referred to as “bloodthirsty powers.”

This raises hopes that the popular “Vampiric Powers” will return to Diablo 4.

Start video
Diablo 4: The gameplay trailer for Season 3

What are Vampiric Powers in Diablo 4?

The Vampiric Powers were the major mechanic of the second season of Diablo 4.

To obtain them, you had to unlock them by using “Powerful Blood” from boss fights, completing certain missions, or leveling up on the hunter’s glory board.

As a reward, there were various “Vampiric Powers” that could grant you significant bonuses. These included abilities like metamorphosis, which allowed you to build one of the best builds in Season 2.

However, with the end of Season 2, the Vampiric Powers also left, and those who had gotten used to them now had to adapt for Season 3.

Now we can only hope that the farewell was not permanent. Whether, when, and in what form the Vampiric Powers will actually return remains to be seen, but it should be clarified during the developer talk on February 29. As always, we will keep you updated.

If you are currently playing Diablo 4, you should consider which classes and builds you want to play. What is worth it is shown in our Tier List for Season 3 in Diablo 4.

Players of Helldivers 2 do not want the best weapons to be nerfed: “Stop asking for nerfs”

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

In Helldivers 2, players discuss whether the strongest weapons – the Railgun and the Breaker – need a nerf or if all other weapons require a buff.

In Helldivers 2, you have various weapons and tactical gear at your disposal. Some of them are explosive but less powerful, while others dominate the tier list of the best weapons. In brief: Some excel in firepower, while others stand out due to their special effects.

This has led to a portion of the community discussing the balancing of the cooperative shooter just a few weeks after release. While some call for nerfs for strong weapons, others want buffs for weaker ones.

Weapon Balancing in Helldivers 2 – The Community is Divided

What do players say about the balancing? Reddit user “soloman-romero” addressed the Helldivers 2 community with clear words, demanding: “Stop asking for nerfs.” Instead, he would prefer buffs for the underpowered weapons, rather than weakening the strong ones (via Reddit).

The user picks up on demands from the player base of the cooperative shooter, who are already wishing for certain weapons and gear to be weakened just weeks after release. For instance, the Railgun, the Breaker shotgun, and the shield generator backpack are significantly stronger than their alternatives, making them indispensable for the best loadout.

The call to stop asking for nerfs received over 5,100 upvotes in just one day. Many players also agreed in the comments. One user stated that at the highest difficulty level, he wishes for “even bigger guns with even more firepower” (via Reddit).

Additional comments on the topic:

  • ProfiAd2203 via Reddit: “Don’t nerf the Railgun, buff the other anti-tank options.”
  • itsmehonest via Reddit: “Since it’s a PvE game, can we all agree that only buffs are needed, not nerfs, right?”
  • jeffQC1 via Reddit: “I’m not suggesting nerfing the SG-225 Breaker; all other weapons should be buffed […]. Basically, all weapons need to be able to compete with it.”

When it comes to nerfs, the shield generator backpack and the Railgun are primarily mentioned. Players on social media are already proposing ways to partially weaken them:

  • ChineseCosmo via Reddit: “Currently, the shield generator backpack is too good not to use, which isn’t really healthy for the state of the game. An even bigger problem is that it’s somewhat mindless. You just put it on and forget it.”
  • farmermarinarina via Reddit: “I feel like the Railgun is too OP at the moment. It makes other anti-tank options somewhat redundant. It doesn’t require a backpack or another person to be effective, like the recoil-free rifle or the spear. It can destroy large parts of armor with just two shots. It can be reloaded while moving and is very fast.”

Whether Arrowhead wants to implement buffs or nerfs to the weapons and tactical gear of Helldivers 2 anytime soon remains to be seen. Currently, the developers are very busy getting the servers up and running: Players want more servers in Helldivers 2, but the head says: ‘It’s not a matter of money’
