Almost a whole month has passed since the launch of Palworld, and Pocket Pair has already provided you with several patches. The roadmap has also promised quite a bit already – which of the features are you most looking forward to?
Since the Early Access launch on January 19, 2024, almost a month has passed – a very successful month for Palworld. Recently, the community manager spoke about the decline in player numbers on Steam and is looking forward to the future of the game.
With the first month behind us, we now want to know from you which of the features announced in the roadmap are most important to you. Please also write us the features that are currently not listed in the roadmap in the comments.
This survey is closed! You can find the results here:
Is Pocket Pal quick with updates? In fact, the development team behind Palworld seems to be very dedicated. Since the launch in Early Access, they have already released three patches in addition to the roadmap. These primarily dealt with bug fixes and preventing cheating:
At the end of January, many players complained on Reddit about Pals being stolen by other players as well as one-sided PvP. The stealing of Pals and PvP should not have been possible at all. Pocket Pal responded promptly with one of the above-mentioned patches.
Are there already wishes in the community? Of course, we would like to know specifically from our MeinMMO readers what their or your wish features are. Some users have already collected ideas on Reddit. Among them are bigger features, but also quality-of-life adjustments.
Here is a selection:
Pinnable crafting recipes
Automatically end Pal attacks when the opponent has 20%-15% health left
A priority list for the tasks of Pals in the base
Item assignment for boxes
Automatic running
Are these also things that you want for the game? Or do you have entirely different needs? Vote above and let us know in the comments what Palworld still needs from your perspective.
The map in Sons of the Forest shows you the most important locations, but it is rather unwieldy and only advances you in the story. Therefore, you will find here an interactive map equipped with many points of interest.
In Sons of the Forest, you have a small GPS device for your hiking trips through the forest:
M – Opens/Closes the map
Mouse wheel click – Zooms the map
If you want more information about the many small spots on the map, you will find here an interactive map that is constantly being updated. The map comes from colleagues at the site Gamepressure:

Click on one of the points and you will also discover a screenshot of the location and often also an inventory list of which items you can find on site. The map is filled by users and constantly updated.
If you are looking for an alternative, also take a look at the interactive map from Mapgenie – via mapgenie.io.
Tip for beginners: Sons of the Forest can be completed quite quickly if you use guides. The optimal experience is provided by the survival hit if you go exploring on your own.
Gradually explore the caves, do not let yourself be guided by guides or maps – use the in-game map to plan your strategies.
In Palworld, you need Electric Glands to craft devices such as the important generator and certain weapons. We will show you how and where to farm this resource.
How do you farm Electric Glands? You obtain Electric Glands from Pals with the Electric element in Palworld. You must defeat or capture them in battle.
However, the best candidates for farming Electric Glands are the Electric hedgehog Jolthog and the cat Sparkit. You encounter both quite early in the game and can find them in large numbers in the starting biome at a low level.
We have marked exactly where you can find Sparkit and Jolthog on the map:
The locations of Sparkit and Jolthog in Palworld
What do you need Electric Glands for? You need Electric Glands to craft various electronic devices and weapons. The most important is the generator, which you need to generate electricity. You need 25 Electric Glands just to craft the generator.
Additionally, the resource is required for electric shock grenades and electric shock mines, which are very useful in battles against strong water Pals. Electric Glands are also needed to craft lamps and some saddles.
The German Twitch streamer Trymacs criticized in a reaction video a common mistake that many streamers make: the clumsiness of German Twitch streamers makes him fume.
Although the current mistake is not as severe as forgetting to set aside money for taxes, the blunder makes the streamer boil with anger.
In a recently released video from “Satter Hugo,” Trymacs reacted to a scene that was shown right at the beginning. It depicted the well-known streamer Papaplatte accidentally knocking over a glass filled with water on his desk.
After a moment of shock, Papaplatte commented on the incident: “Bro, this is dumb. I just wanted to quickly move my camera to the bottom right, now I’ve got water on my keyboard.” He then held his keyboard up to the camera, tilted it slightly to the side, and it was clearly visible how water dripped out.
Trymacs commented on the clip: “How can this even happen? Hey, every tenth video is somehow like an energy drink or water or whatever – who has open drinks at their workspace? I have water here too.” As a counter-example, he presented a closed water bottle that was safely placed next to him.
You can find out who the first successful streamers were here:

Twitch: Who were actually the first successful streamers?
“Glasses at the workplace?!”
What does Trymacs say about the next examples? Another example that worried the pedantic Alman in Trymacs was a clip of Papaplatte getting upset about another situation. In this, Papaplatte stood up and accidentally knocked his glass off the desk. It broke.
Trymacs, shocked by this negligence, asked in disbelief: “Glasses at the workplace?”.
Next, the video showed a clip of HoneyPuu, which further intensified Trymacs’ concerns. In the scene, HoneyPuu placed a coffee cup directly in front of her on the desk, right between her elbows and very close to the edge of the table. When she wanted to scratch her arm, she accidentally knocked the cup over, but she managed to catch it just in time.
Still, all the coffee spilled over her desk, prompting Trymacs to make a dismayed comment: “That drink is so exposed! Where’s the lid? Where’s the closure? How can you place it there?”.
His dismay increased as he watched the clip again. The streamer loudly commented: “I really take this personally. Look how much coffee is in the air. How did she manage to have the entire contents of the cup hovering above the cup? That’s still okay. But soon gravity will come and smear the whole mess all over the chair, table, mousepad, keyboard, over the mouse, probably even something in her hair, on her T-shirt. You can spend an hour and a half cleaning, and you’ll never get it as clean as it was before.”.
As HoneyPuu held her keyboard up to the camera and coffee flowed from it, Trymacs predicted total damage for the device due to the moisture and potential mold growth.
Which clip surprised Trymacs, however? It seemed that Satter Hugo had already anticipated how Trymacs would react to the clips shown. After the impressive scenes, Hugo included a clip of Trymacs, in which he commented: “Why is Hugo including this? Everyone is in a bad mood.”
Trymacs couldn’t help but laugh and admitted: “Shit, how did he know that? Yes, that’s true. It starts with two leaking keyboards, and I’m already in a bad mood! He knows me too well.”.
Speaking of drinks, the mineral water brand Volvic invited to the “Hydro Games,” where 6 content creators on Twitch compete against each other. However, the action is facing backlash since the company behind it is controversial. You can read more about it here: Streamers want to promote drinking water on Twitch – Criticized for it on Twitter

The player base of Diablo 4 is likely to grow significantly in just a few weeks. Because Diablo 4 is coming to Game Pass this March.
When it became apparent on the horizon that Microsoft was acquiring the gaming giant Activision Blizzard, it was only a matter of time before the first games would come to Xbox Game Pass. This has been discussed for a long time. The time has now come for a major title from Blizzard, as Diablo 4 will be included in Game Pass in March 2024. We have all the information about it.
Currently, this event is taking place in Diablo 4, the Lunar Awakening:

What is Game Pass? Microsoft’s Game Pass is a subscription model that allows you to play numerous games for a monthly price – depending on the variant either on Xbox, on PC, or even on both devices simultaneously. Over time, more and more games are added to this offering, increasing the attractiveness of the subscription model.
Where does the info come from? From Microsoft itself. Because the official X/Twitter account of the PC Game Pass announced on the evening of February 15, 2024, that Diablo 4 will be available in Game Pass starting March 28, 2024.

From then on, if you are a subscriber, you can dive into the world of Sanctuary and join everyone else in complaining that of course your class is the worst one right now.
This is how the community reacts: The announcement that Diablo 4 will be playable in Game Pass in the future is met with mixed feelings within the community. While many are excited that they will soon be able to dive into the action-adventure at very low costs, there is also criticism of the decision. There is often still a perception that the inclusion of a title in a large subscription model means that a game has failed – and some regret having paid the full price for Diablo 4 back then.
Will you be playing Diablo 4 in Game Pass? Or do you already own the game and have nothing to worry about?
On reddit, a player posted how he comfortably achieved a high “Mythic+” rating of over two thousand from his bed while playing World of Warcraft on his Steam Deck and shared his gaming experience with the community.
The reddit user u/Somethin_Clever posted a photo on February 15, 2024, showing him lying in bed with his Steam Deck in hand. The screen indicates that the player had achieved a “Mythic+” rating of 2121.
In the comments, another user expressed excitement and asked how WoW plays with a Steam Deck and whether certain classes perform better than others. The post author then shared his experiences and tips with the device.

How does WoW play on the Steam Deck? Regarding his impressions of playing WoW on the handheld console, u/Somethin_Clever wrote:
SoD [Season of Discovery] seems the easiest to play, but I mostly play in Retail, I play on low settings (out of sight) and usually get around 38 FPS. In open-world events, I achieve quite low FPS. […]
In my time as a player on the Deck, I found that the complexity or number of keys in a rotation doesn’t matter as long as you invest a lot of time in your macros and keybinding.
Regarding the best classes for the Steam Deck, the player recommended melee DPS first, then tanks, and third ranged DPS. He further explained that classes with many placement spells are annoying but doable.

What are the downsides on the Steam Deck? u/Somethin_Clever also lists a few downsides of the Steam Deck. The setup takes a lot of time, and add-ons are annoying, according to the player.
As a solution, he advised: “I usually record all my WeakAuras on my PC and then upload them to Wago. Then I simply download them from Wago onto the Deck.”
Additionally, chatting is also a disaster on the device. While he can connect a keyboard, he still has to put down the console every time to type something.
However, it’s all worth it, as u/Somethin_Clever concluded: “But considering all the downsides against the advantage of playing in a comfortable bed/couch/chair or on the go/traveling makes it worth it in my opinion.”
Building a base is one of the central elements of Palworld. A player gets the most out of the building mode and impressed the community on Reddit with their “Anubis Base”.
How you build your base in Palworld is entirely up to you. Some build functionally, while others opt for particularly pretty designs. On Reddit, there are numerous posts from players sharing their creations with the community.
On February 14th, a player showcased their “Anubis Base” on Reddit and impressed the community with it. Many users praise their work, with some noting that this is an entire city, not just a simple base.

“Your pals live better than I do”
What did the player build? In the 4-minute video on Reddit, the user “bakaforever2” shows a tour of their “Anubis Base” in Palworld, which is surrounded by tall stone towers. At the beginning of the video, the player character stands in front of a gigantic Anubis statue. In front of the entrance, there are numerous plants and a fountain.
The player character then walks into an area of the base that resembles a spa with hot springs and cushioned furniture. In the next area, you can see several large round beds and a second, open floor that contains pal beds.
The player has built something in a wooden building that resembles a reception area. The building contains several bathrooms and bedrooms. Outside, a bar is recognizable, including numerous seating groups and even a piano.
Another building resembles a restaurant with the reception area and seating groups. The player then presents various work tools. The arrangement of the tools and desks makes it look like a small company. Apparently, there is also a break room with a couch and a TV, as well as a bathroom.

User “LancerAbhi” notes in a comment: “This is not a base; this is a city.” And “DanFriul” comments: “This is more than amazing. At first, I thought it was a trailer introducing a city in an open-world RPG. I would definitely buy the game.”
In the open world of Palworld, you can set up to three pal boxes simultaneously, which means you can also have up to three bases at the same time. Therefore, choosing locations for your bases is crucial.

Larian Studios announced the extensive Patch 6 for Baldur’s Gate 3 for this week. The community collectively agreed: It’s definitely coming on Valentine’s Day. But Larian Studios had other plans and sent penguin memes as a response.
What was not mentioned in the post, however, was the exact release date of Patch 6. It only stated: “Love is in the air in Faerûn.”
Many fans interpreted this as a sign that the update would be released on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2024. However, they were wrong, as Larian Studios humorously made clear to them.

How did the players react? Under the last penguin post, many users complained that the patch did not actually come out on Valentine’s Day. Some also begged that the game company would still be merciful enough to release the patch on Valentine’s Day, as they had stayed home to test the new kiss animations right away.
However, some also conceded that Larian Studios had clearly made it clear with the first penguin that the patch would not arrive on the expected date – and had actually not mentioned a specific date in the announcement at all.
In Palworld, you need ancient components to craft various items. A player has collected 25,000 pieces of the resource and reveals on Reddit how he did it.
What are “Ancient Components”? Ancient components are a resource in Palworld that you primarily need for crafting ancient technology, such as the incubator. You also need the components for the giga shield and the tera shield, which protect you from hits.
With the ancient components, you can also craft a grappling hook gun that allows you to move faster. A player has built a kind of “elevator” with the gun – and even the developers were impressed.
How did he accomplish this? In his post, the user “Aggressive-Intern411” writes on February 15 that he finally collected over 25k ancient components. This took “forever”. When asked what his favorite method is for collecting the components, he writes in the comments:
Force the spawn of Paladius and kill him over and over again. I started when I could kill all 6 of them with 3-4 rockets.
Set the passing of night and daytime as short as possible, set the 3x pal spawn amount, and then you can go back there after each day that passes. I think it takes less than 10 minutes in total.
It’s all about world settings, lots of spawns, very short days = profit.
In the screenshot of his Reddit post, you can see that he has equipped two legendary rocket launchers. He explains in a comment that he uses them to shoot 2 times without reloading, so he can “one-shot” everything.
This could explain how he can face the high number of strong alpha pals in Palworld and farm them in higher spawn amounts.
Where can I find Paladius? The alpha pal “Paladius” is located far in the north, in a zone with a level range of 40 to 50. According to a player, Paladius is one of the strongest pals that can deal the most damage.
The new co-op shooter Helldivers 2 is currently very successful on Steam and PS5. The game focuses on PvE and will not have PvP in the future.
What is Helldivers 2? Helldivers 2 is a co-op shooter for PS5 and PC, released on February 8, 2024, and has gathered over 150,000 concurrent players on Steam.
The goal of Helldivers 2 is to bring peace and democracy across the galaxy – with firepower.
You fight in third-person perspective against various enemy types like alien bugs and robots, always making it clear that you are doing this for the freedom of the citizens of the so-called Over-Earth.
Helldivers 2 does not take itself too seriously. This pursuit of peace, freedom, and democracy is often portrayed and parodied in an exaggerated manner.
As humorous as Helldivers 2 is staged, the gameplay can be quite challenging. On nine difficulty levels, you fight with up to 4 players against hordes of enemies – requiring good teamwork and communication at times.

Helldivers 2 forgoes PvP
Who is it about? Johan Pilestedt is the CEO and Game Director at Arrowhead, the Swedish development studio behind Helldivers 2.
What does the CEO say about PvP?On X.com (formerly Twitter), Pilestedt commented on a post that the studio is doing its best to make Helldivers 2 a successful game that lasts a long time. A user on the social network then said that Helldivers 2 needs PvP to “steal” Call of Duty players.
Pilestedt explained that Arrowhead will not add a PvP mode to Helldivers 2 to reduce toxic elements. Instead, the studio wants to create an environment that is “supportive and fun. “
The user then speculated that the developers are afraid to add PvP. But Pilestedt made it clear: “We are not afraid. We just don’t want the toxicity that comes with it. We make games for people who just want to have a challenging time with friends, but in a PvE environment. If you want PvP, I recommend Tarkov [Note: Escape from Tarkov].”
With Escape from Tarkov, Pilestedt recommends an extraction shooter that goes in a quite different direction than Helldivers 2.
While Tarkov is also known to be a very challenging game, it focuses on realistic gameplay, a first-person perspective, and PvP, unlike the co-op shooter.
Nightingale is set to become a new survival game on Steam, where players can traverse portals, defeat mystical creatures, and build bases. We will show you everything you need to know about the release, gameplay, and the price.
What is Nightingale? Nightingale is an open-world survival game from the developers “Inflexion Games”, which can be played solo or cooperatively with friends. Here, you take on the role of a Realmwalker, who can step through mystical portals and explore new areas of the Fae.
On journeys across the world of the Fae, you can come across new areas, claim them for yourself and build a base on them. If hostile creatures disagree with this, you can defend yourself with melee and ranged weapons and even cast spells.
Now we will go into detail and show you everything you need to know about Nightingale before the release.

Nightingale: Releasing Earlier!
Nightingale: Release – How long do you have to wait
Will Nightingale come to PS5 and Xbox? So far, Nightingale will only be released for PC. Whether consoles will follow at a later date is unknown, but cannot be completely ruled out.
How long will Nightingale stay in early access? The developers are aiming for an early access duration of between 9 to 12 months. However, depending on how the feedback turns out, it could be longer or shorter.
Nightingale: This is how the gameplay of the survival game works
How is it played? Nightingale starts with you creating your Realmwalker. In a detailed character creator, you will first forge your explorer and can start with a personalized appearance.
Here is another detailed video about the gameplay of Nightingale:

Nightingale is considered a great hope for survival, without PvP – The latest gameplay looks fantastic
Once you have created your character, you have the following options available:
You can hunt smaller and larger animals
Track down bosses and defeat them in your area
Build a base to your liking
Explore your area and discover mysteries
Craft, upgrade equipment or improve your magic
Step through new portals and discover more biomes
Mine materials and loot items
There is also no PvP in Nightingale, so you don’t have to worry in co-op that a player will intentionally defeat you to take your loot. You can peacefully explore the wonderful world of the Fae and focus on progress.
If you don’t like future portals and areas, you can also design a destination to your liking with realm cards. This way, you can customize the biome, enemies, and materials so that you end up in an area you desire.
Nightingale: Prices and editions at a glance
How much will Nightingale cost? There is officially no price for Nightingale yet, but fans on Reddit estimate the price to be $29.99. If the game aims for its full release in the future, “early access” players could also be charged again, as the developers are considering a possible surcharge. However, nothing is set in stone yet (via steam.com).
These were all the important updates about the release of Nightingale so far. If more information is released in the future regarding the release of the console version or new features, we will update our post.
Are you ready for Nightingale, or do you not like the fantasy setting and prefer to play a more realistic survival game? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
Season 8 of Game of Thrones disappointed many viewers. But as a TikTok video shows, we could have actually guessed beforehand that the finale might upset some: Because Emilia Clarke warned us without directly stating it.
Season 8 of Game of Thrones was torn apart by many fans. Among other things, the season was criticized for how quickly it rushed through some storylines. In addition, certain character developments, such as those of Daenerys Targaryen, led to negative reactions among viewers.
Some fans went so far in their dissatisfaction as to create a petition demanding a re-shoot of Season 8. You can read more about it here at our colleagues from Moviepilot.
However, as a TikTok video shows, we could have guessed beforehand that the last season would be divisive and might disappoint many. Because one Game of Thrones actress did not seem too thrilled about the series finale herself, but could only express that indirectly in interviews.
Here you see a trailer for Game of Thrones:

How did Emilia Clarke warn us? The TikToker movie.review_man.man.man published a clip on his channel on December 18, 2023.
In it, he explained that he found one thing funny about the ‘downfall’ of Game of Thrones with Season 8, namely that Emilia Clarke, the actress of Daenerys, had warned during a press tour before just how bad the last season was.

When asked how it was to read the script, Emilia Clarke replied: “I read the scripts for this season, and on certain days, I left my house. The only thing I took with me were my keys. And when I returned home three hours later, I still hadn’t processed everything.” Her subsequent facial expression speaks volumes.
Even in the following interview moments that are shown, you can see her repeatedly with an almost tortured expression as she talks about Season 8 of Game of Thrones.
What is the fastest airplane in GTA 5 Online? Here we show you an overview of the fastest airplanes and their top speeds.
What airplanes does GTA Online offer? In the online world of GTA 5, you will encounter all kinds of airplanes. The selection ranges from nimble stunt planes to large transporters.
Why do you need fast airplanes? Whether it’s racing, missions, or adventures in the open world, getting from A to B quickly on the large map of GTA Online is important for players according to the situation. There are also racing modes with airplanes, where our overview of the fastest lap times or top speeds, depending on the course, will help you.
List of the fastest airplanes from GTA Online – Status: 2024
This is how it is sorted: In this overview we show you two tables.
The fastest airplanes, sorted by lap time
The fastest airplanes, sorted by top speed
We differentiate here because the uses of airplanes are different for players. Thus, you can choose the right airplane for you based on your requirements.
The YouTuber Broughy1322 has made it his mission to test various land and flying vehicles from GTA Online thoroughly (via YouTube.com). For the top speeds, he calculates the speed over a longer period of time, not just the peak during a boost. We use his analysis for our tables.
Note: The speedometers and cockpit instruments in GTA Online are not particularly reliable based on experience. The numbers from Broughy correspond to the “real” speed of the airplanes. It is quite possible that GTA Online shows you different values for speed at times. However, this does not change the ranking.
It should be noted that there are many variables when it comes to the top speed in GTA Online, which can lead to different (and higher) top speeds. Additionally, the in-game speedometer and other forms of speed measurement either do not function or are at least inaccurate (example on YouTube). If you compare this with your own observations, you will most likely get incorrect results.

The fact that the plane is also so fast greatly expands its range of use.

We want to introduce you to a few examples that made it onto the list of the fastest airplanes in GTA Online.
The Seabreeze, which can also land on water
The fast and agile Alpha-Z1
P-996 Lazer, the expensive jet
If you would like other airplanes from this list to be highlighted, please let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.
Seabreeze
Cost: 850,000 to 1,130,500 GTA dollars
Dealer: Elitás Travel
What makes the Seabreeze special: This single-engine airplane is a loyal companion to many players in GTA Online. It is popular for preparing heists because you can easily reach targets on the water. When landing on water, you don’t even have to be very careful. Even if you land in the sea at higher speeds, the aircraft remains intact. You have to be very rough to damage the Seabreeze with water.
You can equip the Seabreeze with machine guns or activate the bomb bays. This gives you attack options against ground targets. The cockpit can accommodate 2 players.
With its wide range of applications and relatively low purchase price, the Seabreeze finds many fans in the online world of Grand Theft Auto V.
Alpha-Z1
Cost: 1,595,000 to 2,121,350 GTA dollars
Dealer: Elitás Travel
What makes the Alpha-Z1 special: With the Alpha-Z1 from Buckingham, you control a special stunt airplane. It is incredibly fast in races due to its agility, but requires much training to master. Once you have completed a few flight hours in the Alpha-Z1, no one can keep up with you in races.
However, it excels even outside of races. You only need to cover a few meters before you can take off. You can’t install weapons in the aircraft. That would not fit the light and agile theme at all.
If you enjoy flying in GTA Online and want to try your hand at stunts, take a closer look at the Alpha-Z1. The Z1 has only one seat in the cockpit.
P-996 Lazer
Cost: 6,500,000 GTA dollars
Dealer: Warstock Cache & Carry
What makes the P-996 special: The plane is the second military jet after the Hydra that made its way into the world of GTA. If you don’t want to spend 6.5 million on it, you can steal a version at the military airport.
The P-996 is armed with double explosive weapons that can easily eliminate targets in the air or on the ground with a burst of fire. To hit well with the aircraft, you need some practice. After a few hours with the P-996, you become a significant potential threat to other players.
You have access to guided and straightforward firing missiles. When firing, two missiles are launched alternately in quick succession until you need to reload.
Which of the airplanes do you like the most? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and share your experiences with other players.
Do you still need the “pocket money” to buy one of the featured airplanes? We show you here ways to earn money quickly in GTA Online. If you invest a bit of time, you can easily earn several million and afford the vehicles.

The development of the MMO shooter Anthem was discontinued 3 years ago, but the game still enjoys a loyal fan base. On reddit, a plan has now been put forward to force EA to develop an Anthem 2.0 with violence.
What is the situation with Anthem?
The MMO shooter Anthem, also known as “The game where everyone is Iron Man”, was released in February 2019.
The problem was that BioWare barely finished the game at release and then the team broke apart: The original team at BioWare was unable to push out new content. Later, it was said that the SWTOR MMO team should first address the game’s problems with major updates.
Anthem shows the four different combat suits in the launch trailer
“Anthem deserves a second chance”
This is the current status: Even though Anthem has failed in the eyes of the general public and was a flop, the game has found many fans with its strong gameplay loop and unique aesthetics who still enjoy and appreciate it today.
They fantasize about how great it could have been if EA had continued to develop Anthem.
In a post on reddit, they are now calling, 3 years after the end: “Let’s bring Anthem back.” If No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 got a second chance, then surely Anthem could do it too, they say.
They ask fans to post the hashtag #reviveanthem on social media and to prompt EA for a statement.

Is it going to work? No, probably not. There were some posts on Twitter with the hashtag on February 9, but nothing significant.
A player says nothing has equaled Anthem since. But the hashtag wave fades quickly.
However: It is impressive that the reddit post received 2200 upvotes and 628 comments. For a game that has been dead for 3 years, that is quite unusual.
How are people discussing it? There is a great longing for Anthem, it can be read repeatedly about the game. Many think back to the title with love and nostalgia. They loved the feeling of soaring through the air with their hero, diving down on enemies, and overwhelming them with a hail of rockets.
But under the thread at Anthem, there is also a lot of cynicism against EA. They have sunk many great games, such as Titanfall. EA is said to be “deaf to feedback”. They only care about profit. One can rage, scream, and even hack a game – nothing will happen as long as EA does not sniff a juicy profit.
CD Projekt Red never gave up on Cyberpunk, but EA gave up on Anthem, it is said, and one can almost feel the salt on the tongue.
By now, a lot of nostalgia has probably been replaced by bitterness.
With many small and larger tricks, you can save a lot of money in everyday life. MeinMMO presents you with 8 tips with which you can save almost 1,000 euros a year.
In times when electricity and gas prices are at an all-time high, it is always advisable to conserve resources or use them sparingly. Therefore, MeinMMO presents a whole range of tips that can help you save electricity, energy, and thus money in everyday life or at home office.
What numbers are we starting from? We usually assume a household of 4 people. The average electricity consumption of a 4-person household in Germany is about 3000 kWh. In January 2024, the average price for a kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity is around 37.37 cents/kWh, according to the comparison portal Verivox.
The high price is also associated with the cost explosion in 2023, where electricity suppliers passed on the high wholesale prices to end consumers. Depending on how high the electricity and energy prices are, the theoretical savings potential is also greater.
Seal doors and windows
The most energy is lost when heating through doors and windows. Therefore, it is worth checking whether windows and doors are really sealed. New sealing rings or aids usually don’t cost much, but heating costs can be reduced by up to 20%. That amounts to about 150 euros depending on the household. This is also stated by the online magazine Enercity.de.
Another tip: Close the doors so that the heat stays in the rooms and doesn’t drift through the hallway or other areas.
What does it cost? DIY insulation usually costs only a few euros and can be found at hardware stores. Professional insulation from a tradesman will cost you more like 200 euros or more. A good insulation also increases the property value, by the way.
How much can you save? Depending on your household, you can save about 150 euros a year with good sealing.
Install a water-saving showerhead
With a water-saving showerhead, you can save not only water but also electricity in everyday life. Saving models reduce energy consumption by around 30% and lower water usage: While a normal showerhead uses about 14 liters of water per minute, the consumption with a saving head is about 6 to 8 liters.
Before you worry about standing under a trickle: The water-saving showerhead limits the flow, but the water pressure is usually not reduced.
What does it cost? For a water-saving showerhead, you usually pay between 15 and 20 euros. However, there are also models for which you can pay 50 euros. Normally, a cheap model is enough.
How much can you save? The website wertgarantie.de calculates the savings in water and electricity to be about 100 euros per year for a person who lives alone and showers once a day. With more people showering daily or even multiple times a day, you will, of course, save more.
Wash clothes cooler
You can also save electricity and money with the washing machine. By reducing the temperatures, the Verbraucherzentrale Hamburg states, it is worthwhile for you (via vzhh.de):
By lowering the temperature from 60 to 40 degrees, electricity consumption decreases by up to 45 percent.
Washing at 30 instead of 40 degrees even saves up to 40 percent.
In general, experts recommend washing laundry with cooler water. Modern detergents are now made from washing enzymes and surfactants. Therefore, hot water is no longer needed to clean clothes deeply.
However, there are exceptions where lower temperatures are not recommended:
If sick people or persons with allergies are in the household, washing at higher temperatures is recommended.
Additionally, you should wash hot a few times a year to prevent a bacterial film inside the washing machine.
Certain items like underwear, bed linens, and towels should also be washed at 60 degrees.
What does it cost? Nothing, washing laundry at cooler temperatures costs you nothing initially.
How much can you save? If you count on a 4-person household with about four loads of laundry per week, you can save about 75 euros a year by washing at cooler temperatures.
Install digital thermostats
Digital thermostats can be attached to radiators to automatically regulate the temperatures in the room. But beware: Not all thermostats are suitable for every radiator and in some cases, the heating system must also be suitable.
The question of whether such smart devices are worth it at all depends on the building and the occupants:
If the building is already well insulated and you usually turn down the heating when you leave the room, then you can save little with a digital thermostat.
However, if you are someone who turns on the heating in the bathroom in the morning but then forgets to turn it off later, then it is worth purchasing just like in a poorly insulated house.
The Stiftung Warentest calculated for a rather poorly insulated 70-square-meter apartment that smart heating could save about 108 euros per year. This was valid for 2022. Due to the sharply rising prices in 2023 and early 2024, the saving potential is likely even higher.
What does it cost? Depending on the manufacturer, you pay about 25 euros for a digital thermostat, but some devices can be had for 50 euros. However, you also need to consider that for each radiator you want to control, you need a thermostat.
In some cases, you also need a control unit through which you can control your thermostats. For example, if you buy thermostats for the Fritzbox and own a Fritzbox, you do not need a control unit anymore.
How much can you save? If the house is poorly insulated and you constantly forget to turn down the heating, you save about 108 euros per year.
Lower the heating
By turning down the heating, you can also save money and energy, says the Verbraucherzentrale (verbraucherzentrale.de).
Level 1 means a room temperature of about 12 degrees.
On level 2, the room is heated to 16 degrees.
At level 3, it is already 20 degrees.
At level 4, you already get 24 degrees.
Level 5 means a room temperature of 28 degrees.
Each degree less corresponds to roughly a saving of 6% energy. If you set the heating to level 3 instead of level 4, that is about 24% energy that you can save.
Warning: 16 degrees or level 2 should be the minimum in unused rooms as well. Otherwise, there is a risk of mold formation, which can pose a health hazard. Therefore, you should not be too stingy.
In well-insulated houses, you should also not turn down the heating, as the heat stays in the building.
What does it cost? Nothing. Setting your heating lower is completely free for you.
How much can you save? If you calculate with a typical 4-person household, then you save about 60 euros per degree.
Replace old light bulbs
Officially banned in Europe, there are still many households with old light bulbs. And some stocked up again with old lights before the sales ban. New LED bulbs consume up to 90% less electricity compared to old bulbs. For comparison, the Verbraucherzentrale states the following values:
A 60-watt incandescent bulb that lights for three hours a day costs about 24 euros in electricity per year.
An LED lamp uses about 5 watts and only costs you around 2 euros per year.
What does it cost? Prices for LED bulbs typically range from 5 to 10 euros, but it also depends on the type of bulb and the device.
How much can you save? Compared to an old incandescent bulb, you save about 22 euros per bulb per year. Depending on how many bulbs you replace, the more you save.
Instead of using the console, use a TV stick for streaming
Consoles like the PS5 or Xbox Series X are only partially designed for home entertainment and are primarily gaming consoles. This is also reflected in energy consumption, because PS5 and Xbox consume a lot of power:
Consoles like the PS5 consume an average of 70 – 80 watts per hour when streaming a series.
An Apple TV 4K, on the other hand, only consumes 6 watts and a Chromecast even just 3.4 watts.
The consoles are optimized for gaming and are officially gaming platforms, and are significantly less efficient when streaming compared to something like a streaming dongle. Consoles also do not have a low-energy chip that would make streaming more efficient.
If you want to save electricity and money, we would recommend either a TV with smart features or a TV stick. The latter allows you to upgrade an old TV to smart features easily.
What does it cost? A TV stick usually costs between 20 and 30 euros, depending on the model.
How much can you save? The former Vice President of Netflix stated in 2019 that we watch an average of 2 hours of Netflix a day. If you pay about 4 cents for 100 watts, you save about 8 cents per day. That adds up to about 29 euros if you watch 2 hours of series every day.
Many people leave their devices in standby rather than turning them off completely. This way, devices can start up quickly but also continuously consume power. However, in many cases, it can be worthwhile to completely turn off devices. Especially large devices like sound systems, gaming consoles, or gaming PCs consume quite a bit of power while in standby.
However, there are exceptions: You should not completely turn off routers and OLED TVs either: Because as soon as the OLED TV enters standby, a process is started in the background to prevent burn-in effects.
What does it cost? Turning off your devices does not cost you anything at first. For switchable power strips, you usually pay between 15 and 20 euros, with surge protection you’ll pay an additional 5 to 10 euros.
How much can you save? You can save about 140 euros a year. In an average 3-person household, the NDR explains that you can save 8% of your electricity costs, or about 140 euros a year.
All tips for saving at a glance
Everything at a glance: Depending on your bill and the number of people, your saving potential will vary. Here’s a recap of all the possible points with options at a glance:
Seal doors and windows: About 150 euros.
Water-saving showerhead: 100 euros per person for daily showers.
Wash clothes cooler: 75 euros a year with 4 loads per week.
Digital thermostats: Around 108 euros per year.
Lower the heating: 60 euros per year.
Replace light bulbs: 22 euros per bulb.
TV stick instead of PS5: 29 euros a year.
Avoid standby: 140 euros a year in a 3-person household.
More ways to save power while gaming: Because PC, PS5, or Xbox are not designed for “power savings.” Instead, a gaming PC is supposed to provide the best possible performance while gaming, and to achieve that processor and graphics card will be utilized to their maximum.
However, with a few small tips and tricks, you can reduce power consumption and save money that way.
In a new trailer, Minecraft announces a new DLC. This one entices with amusement parks, film classicsand roller coasters.
What kind of DLC is this? Minecraft has announced a new DLC in a trailer. This one is called “Universal Studios Experience” and aims to provide exactly what the name promises.
With this DLC, you can visit Universal Studios. In this amusement park, various attractions, mini-games, and the important task of restoring the letters of the famous Universal globe await you.
In the trailer, you can see what themed areas and attractions await you:

What does the community say? Even the trailer seems to convince many Minecraft players and even non-players of the DLC. The concept and the collaboration with Universal Studios seem particularly exciting. Especially due to the quite realistic representation of the attractions.
Because in the comments (via YouTube), you can see not only critical players who suddenly have an interest in Minecraft but also many who are reminiscing and expressing their excitement about the attractions:
SonofTuscon99 writes: “You’ve achieved the impossible: You’ve somehow sparked my interest in Minecraft.”
salmonsdontdie4952 writes: “Wow, the nostalgia I feel for the old Universal Studios attractions, and I can experience them again (somehow) I love it.”
thecontentprism writes: “I’ve never considered Minecraft, but I somehow want to see this.”
Raansu writes: “Seeing attractions that haven’t been in the park for a long time makes me sad.”
Minecraft lets you experience film classics up close
What attractions are there? In the DLC, for example, you venture into the themed area “Jurassic World” and take a water ride past various dinosaurs. Afterwards, you move to the “Back to the Future” area where you help Dr. Emmett Brown and go on a hunt in a flying DeLorean.
The trailer also showcases areas inspired by movies such as King Kong, The Mummy, or Jaws, presenting you with various attractions and mini-games. In the different attractions, you experience well-known film scenes up close as an audience member.
Allegedly, over 40,000 players are playing the 62-year-old game “Spacewar” on Steam, but this is used to disguise software piracy.
What kind of game is it? Spacewar is one of the first video games ever developed, alongside “Tennis for Two,” and was released in 1962 – even 10 years before “Pong,” the first commercially successful video game.
Spacewar is a multiplayer game where two players control two spaceships and orbit a star. This star has its own gravitational pull, so players must try to avoid crashing into the celestial body. The first one to crash loses.
Additionally, Spacewar is used as a demo application in Steam’s API (Application Programming Interface), which is why a fully functional version of the game is available for free to every Steam user.
Using Spacewar, developers who want to publish a game on Steam can test various APIs and Steamworks features. This includes features like voice chat and game search, as well as leaderboards, statistics, and achievements (via steamgames.com).
Start video
This is what the gameplay of the 62-year-old game Spacewar looks like
However, if you want to play Spacewar yourself, you won’t find it simply in the Steam store. It doesn’t exist there.
To install Spacewar, you need to type “run” (without quotes) into the Windows search bar. A new window will open, where you enter “steam://run/480” (again without quotes) and then confirm with “ok.”
Then Steam will ask you in a familiar installation window whether you want to install Spacewar. You can confidently confirm that.
What does this have to do with pirates? Spacewar had an average of 41,903 players on Steam over the past 30 days. The peak number of concurrently active players during this period even reached 102,634 (via Steamcharts). Hence, Spacewar would be played by more players on Steam than Destiny 2, DayZ, or Overwatch 2.
You can probably guess that not really nearly 42,000 players are actively playing a 62-year-old game or developers testing voice chat or similar. Spacewar is actually used by pirates as a cover.
What role does Spacewar play for pirates? Steam checks ownership rights to a game using a DRM wrapper and verifies that you have indeed purchased the license to play. This ensures the proper execution of Steamworks features by requiring Steam to be started before launching the game.
This prevents you from simply installing a game from a friend’s external hard drive and then being able to play it on your PC (via steamgames.com).
Pirates therefore want to prevent Steam from starting when launching a game. The “problem” is that they can usually only play these games offline. However, this doesn’t benefit them much if they’re targeting multiplayer games like Call of Duty or GTA Online.
Now Spacewar comes into play. Since every Steam user can play Spacewar and it has access to all Steamworks features as a demo application, it serves as the perfect cover for pirates to play online games while utilizing all online functions. The pirates thus deceive Steam into believing that their illegal copy of a game is instead Spacewar.
So if you see a friend playing Spacewar on Steam, there are three possibilities for what he is actually doing:
he is playing a 62-year-old game
he is a game developer testing a feature
he is a pirate concealing his activities
The developers of a surprise hit on Steam even showed understanding for pirates in December 2023, but with one request: Those who enjoy the game should buy it at a later date once they have the financial means.

In Pokémon GO there were Cupidos in raids yesterday. However, the implementation has sparked criticism among trainers.
What kind of raid is this? On yesterday’s Valentine’s Day, the legendary Pokémon Cupidos was available in Pokémon GO raids. Alongside Pokémon like Boreos, Voltolos, and Demeteros, it is part of the so-called forces of nature.
It could be found as part of the Carnival of Love-event in the game and was waiting to be defeated and caught by you. However, the implementation of the top raids has led to criticism from many players.
Start video
Pokémon GO shows the new season “Timeless Travels” in the trailer
Criticism of impractical times and difficult prerequisites
What is being criticized? There are several points regarding the top raids that trainers are criticizing. The first point of criticism is the date. The raids with Cupidos were available only yesterday, on Valentine’s Day during the week. Additionally, the times to challenge the Pokémon were difficult for most trainers to manage.
The raids started only during the times of 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM and from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. They were also only available for 30 minutes each. This made it particularly difficult for trainers who had to work during these times to participate in the raids.
Additionally, the raids could only be done on-site. The use of remote raid passes was not possible. Furthermore, the difficulty of the raids required at least 4 trainers, if not more.
All this has ultimately led to many trainers feeling that the raids were unmanageable, which can be very frustrating, especially since the Pokémon was only available yesterday and it is unclear when it will appear in the game again.
What does the community say? Trainers from the community point out that they were unable to participate in the raid due to the given conditions. Here are some of the comments on this:
I cannot participate in this raid because it is too exclusive and not accessible enough for me, writes a trainer.
I wish there would be a spawn every hour. Why not between 2 PM and 4 PM?, asks another trainer.
The limited time is absolutely terrible. Not only do YOU need to have time to reach one of the raids, you also need at least 3 or 4 other people (probably more to be sure) who have the same time. On a weekday, another trainer notes.
When I finished work, there were no more raids in my city at that time, reads another comment.
What do you think about the raids with Cupidos? Were you unable to participate for the reasons mentioned, or were you able to catch one? Do you also think that such events should not take place under these conditions but should be more accessible? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments. We have compiled more events in February 2024 in Pokémon GO for you.

The Baller League is 4 matchdays old, and especially one president has not only made highlights on the field with his team. We look at the highlights from HandOfBlood aka President Knabe and his Eintracht Spandau.
What is the Baller League? The Baller League is a small field soccer league founded by the German soccer world champions Mats Hummels and Lukas Podolski. Every Monday evening, 12 teams, consisting of amateurs and (former) professional players, compete against each other. The teams are coached by partly famous coaches such as Bundesliga pro Christoph Kramer (Borussia Mönchengladbach) or social media legend Hans Sarpei (formerly Wolfsburg, Leverkusen, and Schalke).
Especially the team from Eintracht Spandau has so far created real eye-catchers on and off the field. This team is, as it should be, coached by Spandau veteran HandOfBlood, who truly flourishes in his role as President Knabe.

Unbeatable on and off the field: President Knabe delivers
This is how Eintracht Spandau dominates the Baller League: From a purely sporting perspective, Spandau leads the table under coach Hans Sarpei after 4 matchdays with 8 points. Even if they couldn’t get beyond a draw against Jens “Knossi“ Knossalla’s Hollywood United in the last matchday, they still greet from the top of the table.
And also, or especially, off the field, Eintracht Spandau can always be relied upon to provide new conversation starters. One could wryly think that the president would do everything to create maximum confusion among his opponents.
Cologne Carnival, Mascot Mutiny, Mayor Beer Shower
In the following, we have gathered all the highlights delivered so far surrounding the Spandau team for you. You shouldn’t take the following scenes too seriously. HandOfBlood is known and loved by his fans for his staged stories. It should be said: President Knabe would fit perfectly with Hollywood United due to his performances.
This is how the first appearance of the Spandauer went: It all started with the first entrance of the Eintracht from Spandau. In fitting tribute to the Cologne Carnival, President Knabe quickly organized a band that introduced the Berlin players appropriately to the Baller League.
In front marched alongside the president also the specially created tower mascot, which is probably inspired by the Juliustower in Spandau, which also adorns the club’s crest. The duo of president and mascot should then also cause the next stir off the field.
What happened? During an interview with Spandauer kicker Aziz, one could hear in the background how the president and his mascot seemed to get into a confrontation. After a brief scuffle and a small shove from President Knabe, the tower took a swing back and knocked Knabe heavily to the ground. It even knocked his glasses off his nose.
“Fortunately for all parties involved,” Knabe was able to quickly get back on his feet. He then made serious accusations against his mascot and suspected a conspiracy. Completely beside himself, he scribbled into the microphone: “He attacked me. That’s Kontra K underneath or something.” (referring to rival Kontra K, who, with his team “Beton Berlin,” is also part of the Baller League, editor’s note.)
If no reconciliation with the mascot should come about, the president can at least rely on another prominent support from politics. At least for now.
Spandau Mayor gets a welcoming beer shower from President Knabe:
This is how the beer shower for the Spandau mayor came about: During President Knabe’s last public appearance at the Baller League on the third matchday, there was a liquid faux pas. To express the solidarity of the Berlin district, Spandau Mayor Frank Bewig (this is the real mayor of Spandau, editor’s note) did not miss the opportunity to support Eintracht with his presence.
Knabe and he eagerly followed the match between their club and the VFR Zimbos, the team of the EA-FC-24 streamers GamerBrother and Tisi Schubech. In the excitement over a play, Knabe spilled quite a bit of his beer cup over the outfit of his mayor.
The mayor took the beer shower very composed. He even let Knabe’s cleaning attempts, albeit with a somewhat forced smile, happen over him.
Cult around President Knabe not only audibly conquers the fan ranks
This is how the fans support their Eintracht: The Spandauer can also rely 100% on fans’ support. The traveling fans create a great atmosphere in the stands and are undoubtedly the loudest on the bleachers.
And visually, the supporters of the Spandau club are increasingly noticeable:
On the last matchday, which took place on Rose Monday, fans appropriately dressed up as President Knabe doubles. The Knabe Army made an entrance into the hall that was no less impressive than the performance we were able to admire on the first matchday (see above).
It remains exciting what ideas the Spandauer under President Knabe still have. However, we are almost sure that there will be much more to come.
In the Baller League, games are played every Monday, and the Champions League is back too. Accordingly, in EA FC 24, there are dynamic cards that can improve depending on the player’s performances on the European stage. You can see all players and upgrades in our RTTF Tracker.

A player reports a strange phenomenon: his gaming PC is being plagued by ants that are eating his hardware. These particular ants are now known in the USA, but they have not yet appeared in Germany.
What kind of ant problem is this? A player explains on reddit that he is currently dealing with an unusual ant infestation. They are targeting his gaming PC, particularly his graphics card.
He himself states that he has tried everything to get rid of the unwelcome visitors:
He cleaned the components with a spray containing isopropyl alcohol.
He also cleaned his desk, where the PC is located, with an insect repellent spray.
But none of that helped. As soon as he cleaned his gaming PC, the onslaught of ants started again. He himself is now quite desperate and fears that his hardware will suffer serious damage:
I don’t know how they got here, it was as if they came out of nowhere. There are no ants nesting anywhere in my room, and they even avoided the insect spray. Now I’m sick with worry that they will destroy my PC with the acids from the ants.
Ants are a real plague in the USA, but not widespread in Germany
Essentially, there are several species of ants that are attracted to electronic devices (via ant-pest.com). The most notorious species that attack electronics are fire ants and “Rasberry Crazy Ants”: the latter are about three millimeters long, very aggressive, and have a penchant for electronic devices (via deutschlandfunknova.de).
It cannot be precisely determined why ants are so fascinated by electronics. What is clear is that significant damage is caused by these ants, particularly in the southern USA, where fire ants and “Rasberry Crazy Ants” create serious issues.
Moreover, merely killing the ants doesn’t help much. When killed, the ants release chemical substances, attracting more ants:
When these ants land on electronic devices, it often leads to a short circuit or they die from an electric shock. This triggers their pheromones, indicating they are in danger. They [the ants] are being attacked. They [the ants] need help.
Could this also happen in Germany? “Rasberry Crazy Ants” are not currently found in Germany or Europe. This species is only native to North America. Therefore, it is still unlikely that ants will swarm over your gaming PC or other valuable hardware. The ants were first detected in the Texas city of Houston and are now also found in Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi (via nbcnews.com).
So far, the ants have not migrated to Germany. Nevertheless, individuals repeatedly report how these ants destroy valuable hardware. And getting rid of them is not that easy:
