Palworld has launched on Steam and Xbox. We will reveal to you which graphics settings you can use to get the most out of the survival game.
A new game called Palworld has launched on Steam and Xbox, where you can collect so-called Pals. However, the Unreal Engine used requires sufficient performance for the game to run properly. MeinMMO presents settings with which you can improve your performance.
The following settings are the best compromise between quality and performance. Note that you can only use DLSS with an Nvidia graphics card. If you have a powerful gaming PC, you can also increase the settings accordingly.
Presets: Custom
Screen: Fullscreen
Max FPS: 60 FPS
Vsync: Off
Motion Blur: Off
Anti-Aliasing: Off
View Distance: Medium
Grass Detail: Medium
Shadows: Medium
Effect Quality: Medium
Texture Quality: Depending on your VRAM, our recommendation: Medium
DLSS: Only Nvidia GPUs, our recommendation: Performance
Field of View: 75
Camera Shake: Off
We have set the maximum FPS to 60 FPS because the game runs the most stable at this setting. Some users and colleagues report that the graphics card immediately runs at maximum capacity without an FPS limit. You can prevent this by setting the FPS limit. This will also help conserve your GPU. You can find the complete system requirements of Palworld in detail directly on MeinMMO.
Tip: Anti-aliasing is grayed out under certain circumstances (such as high presets). Switch to “Custom” to edit anti-aliasing.
This is what the settings in Palworld look like.
More tips on graphics settings
Activating DLSS: With DLSS, you can significantly boost your performance on PC, but you absolutely need an Nvidia graphics card for that. With DLSS, you can choose both performance and quality. With performance, you get an average of 20 more FPS, while quality looks better.
AMD’s alternative, FSR, is not yet integrated into Palworld. We cannot say if the technology will come in the future. We will update our article with new information.
Note: Some players report that DLSS is unavailable and grayed out in the “Game Pass” version. However, DLSS can be used in the Steam version.
What has the strongest impact on performance? Texture quality has the most significant effect on performance. If you have a weaker graphics card or limited video memory (VRAM), lower the settings.
Anti-aliasing is also resource-intensive but provides smoother and prettier edges in the game. If you have a weak GPU, we recommend temporal anti-aliasing (TAA), which might make the game look slightly blurred but will run smoother.
What else can increase FPS? If you have very weak performance, we recommend reducing the resolution. This will require your computer to calculate less.
The new MMORPG Ashes of Creation is under criticism: As announced, they have now stopped selling pre-order packs for $250 as of January 17, granting access to an alpha in the third quarter of 2024. This has raised some eyebrows, according to certain critics.
This is the situation:
Ashes of Creation is a sandbox MMORPG that was announced in 2016.
It is currently not playable – the next opportunity to play the MMORPG should be in the third quarter of 2024, during Alpha 2.
However, access to this Alpha 2 is no longer available: Only people who have purchased a $250 pre-order pack will have access. This is no longer being offered.

MMORPG employs “FOMO” tactics, creates artificial time pressure
This is how it went down: Ashes of Creation had already announced in August 2023 that they had enough testers for Alpha 2 and would no longer be selling the pre-order pack. However, they did not stop selling immediately but set the date for January 17, 2024. So, almost half a year later.
Before really taking the pack off the market, they reminded potential customers that this was the last chance to take the plunge.
The pack is still “not really gone”, as anyone who has purchased a smaller pre-order pack can still upgrade for an additional fee and gain access to the beta. This is reported by massivelyop.
What is the criticism? The criticism of the whole spectacle is that the developers want to create an artificial sense of “FOMO” (Fear of Missing Out). Of course, they want to sell as many of these expensive packs as possible, but they pretend that the offer will not be available for long to pressure potential buyers into acting.
The same game drives the MMORPG with “time-limited skin sales”, so the criticism goes.

On reddit, the MMORPG is being torn apart in a current thread. It states:
It is silly that the MMORPG is still not playable after such a long development time. The development takes forever. Final Fantasy XIV managed its reboot in a much shorter time and completely reinvented itself.
When the game finally releases, it will be at least “5 years outdated”.
The game has raised far too high expectations that it could never meet.
One user described it as a “mix of Starfield and Star Citizen”.
The special program for version 4.4 in Genshin Impact took place today, January 19, 2024, as a livestream. Players received information about the upcoming banners and the characters they can soon pull.
On January 19, 2024, there was a big livestream in Genshin Impact showcasing the upcoming game content.
The new version 4.4 carries the motto “Vibrant Harriers Aloft in Spring Breeze”. In German, it is called “Drachenpracht in der Frühlingsbrise”. It will be available in Genshin Impact starting January 31, 2024.
In the new version 4.4, players can expect:
2 new playable characters
3 rerun banners
new area in Liyue
new boss
3 new outfits
Lantern Rite
and more
Here you can see the trailer for the new version 4.4 in Genshin Impact:

Genshin Impact: Version 4.4 “Vibrant Harriers Aloft in Spring Breeze” Trailer
These are the new banners in version 4.4 featuring Xianyun/Cloud Retainer and Gaming
Who are the new characters? Xianyun aka Cloud Retainer is an Adeptus who players already met in Liyue as a talking bird. Now, her more human form will be playable as a 5-star character. She belongs to the Anemo element and fights with a catalyst.
Gaming is a Wushou dancer who fights with a greatsword and the Pyro element. He is a 4-star character.
Which banners will there be in version 4.4? As usual, the banners will appear in 2 phases.
In the first phase, the banners for these 5-star characters will run:
Xianyun (Anemo and catalyst)
Nahida (Dendro and catalyst)
You can also get the new character Gaming (Pyro and greatsword) as a 4-star character from the banners of phase 1.
You can even get him for free. You can find more about it in this article.
What else will there be in version 4.4? Besides the characters, version 4.4 will introduce a new area in Liyue. It is called Chenyu Valley and represents a foggy mountainous landscape with waterfalls. Additionally, a new feline-like boss named Solitary Suanni will await you.
The annual Lantern Rite will take place in version 4.4. In various events, you can earn rewards like Primogems. Additionally, you can choose a 4-star character from Liyue for free, including the new character Gaming.
3 characters will also receive alternative outfits: Ganyu, Shenhe, and Xingqiu. The last one can also be earned as part of the Lantern Rite. Moreover, the event will also grant you intertwined fate.
In EA FC 24 a new SBC has been released. If you complete it, you have the chance to choose from 3 high-rated cards. We will present the requirements and the price of the SBC and show you the best possible picks.
Which SBC is it about? For a few days now, there has been the 87+-Radioactive, Ultimate-Dynasties, or TOTGS (Team of the Groupstage) professional choice. As you can gather from the name, after completing this Squad Building Challenge (SBC), you will have a player choice with event cards from the following promos:
Requirements and Price – Is the new mystery bag worth it?
Requirements: To complete the SBC, you need to exchange a team with an overall rating of 86.
Price: Right now, just before the start of the TOTY, the prices for high-rated cards are quite manageable. You can get the cheapest 86-rated players for around 8,000 coins. Remember that for a team with an 86-rated card, you only need nine 86-rated players and can fill the team with two 85-rated cards. The cheapest 85-rated players are currently available for 4,200 coins.
In total, the price of the SBC is around 80,000 coins. When you look at the players you can pull, it’s worth considering the new mystery bag.
Mbappé, Haaland, Messi: These are the best players from the mystery bag

The well-known leaker FutSheriff has introduced a selection of the best cards from the new mystery bag. We have based our list on his post, adding further players who have at least a market value of 500,000 coins and provided the corresponding prices (all amounts are in coins):
TOTGS Mbappé (PSG) – 4.1 million.
Dynasties Haaland (ManCity) – 1.3 million.
Radioactive Messi (Inter Miami) – 1.25 million.
Dynasties Mendy (Real Madrid) – 1.1 million.
Radioactive Valverde (Real Madrid) – 950,000.
Dynasties Hernández (AC Milan) – 770,000.
TOTGS Bellingham (Real Madrid) – 680,000.
TOTGS Saka (Arsenal) – 590,000.
Radioactive Benzema (Al-Ittihad) – 570,000.
TOTGS Musiala (Bayern Munich) – 560,000.
TOTGS Rafael Leão (AC Milan) – 540,000.
Is the SBC worth it? When looking at the most expensive players, the SBC is definitely worth considering. There are still several other big pulls that have a market value beyond the 100,000 mark.
As with any gamble SBC in EA FC 24, you can of course also incur a loss. There are numerous 87 and 88-rated players that are priced between 20,000 and 30,000 coins. However, considering that you can multiply your investment for some players by more than tenfold, the potential loss of 50,000 coins may not weigh too heavily.
In the end, it is up to you to decide whether you take the risk.
What carries less risk for you and your coin account is participating in the Weekend League with its cool new rewards. If you achieve a certain number of victories, the rewards could also provide you some players from the new mystery bag.

However, they were also asked about their hit HBO series and whether there was something they would like to change about it.
Instead of addressing the finale that was torn apart by viewers at the time, they gave an unexpected answer and criticized a small detail in their series.

Trailer for the first season of the HBO series ‘Game of Thrones’
In episode 6 of the first season Game of Thrones, Tyrion Lannister is thrown into one of the sky cells in the Eyrie.
There he meets the jailer named Mord. In good Lannister fashion, Tyrion offers him a bribe, but initially meets with rejection, and the gaoler strikes the prisoner.
However, after Tyrion sweetens the offer a bit more, Mord accepts and helps him escape from prison.
Here you can watch the scene in the sky cell yourself:

Tyrion throws Mord the promised bag of gold as a farewell. After that, we never see the supporting character again in the series.
However, it was precisely this detail of the inconspicuous character that the creators would have liked to change. Weiss remarked in the interview: “It was a mistake not to reintroduce Mord, the gaoler.” (Source: hollywoodreporter.com)
Benioff further explained that there was even the perfect scene to allow the character to appear again:
“Was it Brienne or The Hound? […] But we realized too late that Mord could have owned the tavern. We could have had the actor play exactly how he did as the gaoler, just now as the owner of a small business. It was just such an obvious, straightforward idea that we had the next day.“
Since the launch of Destiny 2, players have been hoping for a visual refresh and retroactive customization options for their Guardians. In 2024, Bungie has finally listened to the players’ demands. After 9 years of waiting, you will soon be able to customize your appearance, and even for free. But that’s not all.
That is about to change: Bungie has returned from its winter break and with the release of the first “This Week in Destiny” blog (TWiD) in 2024 has excited Destiny 2 players.
After nearly a decade, Guardians can finally correct their worst character design mistakes.
There is also good news regarding the currently limited Glimmer cap.
At the same time, Bungie has released new Halloween armor for voting.
Additionally, new content for the Season of Wish is on the way.
The future of Destiny 2 promises not only a refreshing beautification of the heroes but also a wealth of other exciting developments. MeinMMO shows you the upcoming quality-of-life improvements.

“Finally lightly tanned instead of sunburned”
Cosmetic sins will soon be a thing of the past: The best announcement from the TWiD was for some Guardians the option to soon customize their characters. So, for those who once made unfortunate decisions for a few battle scars, the scariest hairstyle in the universe, or the mouth and eye color reminiscent of a failed art project, you can breathe a sigh of relief. These things will soon no longer be permanent until the end of your Guardian days.
Because your cosmetic sins will soon be a thing of the past. Bungie is finally allowing after nearly 9 years to change the appearance of your Guardian at any time. And that without costs or restrictions, so you can feel comfortable in your virtual likeness.
The only downside: There will also be things that you cannot change.
This is what the character customization will look like
The new feature will soon be displayed when you start Destiny 2, when you hover over a character in the character selection screen.
You can change your Guardian’s body, face, hair, and battle scars.
You cannot customize whether you are a human, Exo, or Awoken. And the wish of some Guardians for Bungie to add beards for customization will likely not be fulfilled. This will not change in the future either.
What’s changing with Glimmer: In addition to this cosmetic update, Guardians will soon be able to earn more sparkling, small, blue, programmable matter in the form of Glimmer for their Guardian account.
Your Guardian wallet will then hold 500,000 instead of 250,000 Glimmer.
The Glimmer drops will not change. It will still drop from the usual sources and can be used as before.
The witches are coming!
What to expect in October 2024: The TWiD also provided a glimpse into the future events of Destiny 2. In October 2024, the “Festival of the Lost” will take place again in the DLC “The Final Form.” For this, Bungie presented two armor sets to the Guardians, which you can vote on now. The winning looks will be available for all during the Halloween event 2024 for Glimmer and Silver.
You can choose between the looks “Good Witches” and “Evil Witches.”
“Good Witches”“Evil Witches”
How can I participate in the voting? If you don’t want to leave the spooky Guardian look to others, then cast your vote. Voting ends on January 25, 2024, at 6 PM.
You can either participate in the election directly through the voting link in the Bungie newsletter for your main character. This has already been sent to your email address registered with Bungie.net.
Or you can use this direct link to vote, where you can specifically choose and vote for the class.
What’s coming in Season 23: Some Guardians have already completed the Season 23 story and the corresponding title. Officially, however, the Season of Wish lasts until June 2024. Therefore, Bungie has given a little preview of what’s next.
Starting January 30, there will be new quests every week for six weeks in Riven’s Wishes, after which you can receive a prize of your choice from a reward pool.
On the same day, the Triumph moments 2023 also begin, which will offer both in-game and physical Bungie rewards and thirty challenges to reward your achievements from the past year.
More is planned in the coming weeks and months, including free content under the name Destiny 2: Into the Light and a PvP map pack set to be released in May. Details about this will be announced by Bungie later. So further developments in Season 23 await you soon.
When will the new features go live? With the update 7.3.4, which will be released on January 30, the amount of Glimmer you can carry with you will initially be increased to 500,000.
Bungie did not provide an exact date for the release of the character customization. Only that it should go live with an update before the release of the DLC “The Final Form.”
The loot limit for the transmog system will then be reset with an update in March. This means you will be able to earn more than the currently 10 synthetic strands per character and season/edition for free before you have to invest real money.
What do you think about the possibility of finally customizing your Guardian’s appearance in Destiny 2 for free? And which cosmetic blunder would you perhaps undo first? Or are you already satisfied with your Guardian look? Feel free to tell us in the comments. Otherwise, it is already known that this old weapon will soon return: Destiny 2 is bringing back the machine gun that veterans rave about after 5 years

Even before the patch notes for Season 3 in Diablo 4 are revealed, Blizzard announces that certain builds will be affected and what the future patch philosophy will look like.
Where do the info come from? On the evening of January 18, 2024, a developer stream took place with part of the Diablo 4 team. The devs talked during this time about the upcoming Season 3 and what changes it will bring for you. Of course, game balance was also an important topic that was discussed.
Some of you might breathe a sigh of relief now, as Wizards and Barbarians, who dominated in Season 2, will receive nerfs for certain builds.
What will be nerfed?
This is what Blizzard says: Today, on January 19, 2024, the official patch notes for Season 3 are set to be released. In the developer stream, the team explained that it will also provide fixes for the bugs that currently benefit the strongest builds. Additionally, weaker builds are to be strengthened.
Barbarian: In the current season, the ability “Hammer of the Ancients” is a problem. Because even if you don’t spend a skill point, it counts as active. Thus, every Barbarian player using the hammer gets a free 30% damage multiplier. In Season 3, this bug will no longer exist, causing the build to lose potential.
Wizard: Similar to the Barbarians, Wizards had a beneficial bug that affected a skill. In this case, the Improved Chain Lightning, which incorrectly benefited from attack speed. This issue is also set to be fixed with Season 3, which will reduce the strength of the associated builds.
How severe are the nerfs? The changes mentioned are not as drastic as the nerfs before the start of Season 1 with patch 1.1. Blizzard wants to maintain that nerfs are always associated with significantly more buffs. Additionally, they aim to announce such changes in advance so that players can prepare for them.
The future of patches: Fixes for bugs as severe as those affecting the Barbarian and Wizard will be given a higher priority in the future. Blizzard explains that they do not want to take away anyone’s enjoyment of a new season, but if something is not working correctly, they will fix it quickly.
For bugs, they want to observe how much they affect the rest of the game. “We are really going to try not to make changes unless we feel they are necessary to keep the game ‘healthy’,” explains Class Designer Adam Jackson.
A user finds a PS5 in the snow and hands it over to a buddy. This friend is tech-savvy enough and manages to get the console working again. He is surprised to find an account here.
A player posted several pictures of a completely destroyed PS5. The outer shell is missing, the fan is torn from its mount, and the console is quite battered otherwise. This console was likely brought to him by a friend because he had no idea what to do with the broken thing.
However, the tech-savvy player began to restore the console: He cleaned and dried the components and repaired the connections. Eventually, the console started up again. In a post on reddit, he now asked whose PS5 this belonged to:
I managed to get it started. If you live in STL (St. Louis) and (possibly) your girlfriend or wife threw your PS5 out the window: I have it here and it’s yours. I’m not sure, but the warranty might have expired. Send me a message so I can verify your PSN [Editor’s note: PlayStation account].
What happened to the PS5? No one knows for sure. Some speculate that it must have been the owner’s wife, while others guess that the player lost an important match and therefore had to discard the poor console in the snow.
Many users also give him hints on how he can find the owner: If he is still logged into the PS5, he could send him a message directly on his PSN account and thereby track down the owner. This way, he could also find out whether the whole incident was intentional or just a stupid mistake.
Community is in disbelief at how people treat their expensive hardware
Specifically, consoles or expensive graphics cards are still a valuable luxury for many people, as these things normally cost a lot of money. Some players have to save for months to fulfill their dreams. Therefore, an action like this, where someone discards their console in the snow, is met with incomprehension.
If you are dissatisfied with your hardware, don’t destroy it or throw it away; sell it or give it away instead. This way, you will make another person happy who knows how to handle it better. For example, an old graphics card can still serve well for years. A particularly popular NVIDIA graphics card is now even more useful thanks to AMD.
A trainer reveals a tip in Pokémon GO, with which he believes many more raids are possible. What exactly he says you can find out here.
What are raids? Raids are a feature in Pokémon GO where you can team up with other trainers to defeat a Pokémon together. If you succeed, you have the chance to catch the defeated Pokémon afterwards.
Before the raid begins, you can see in the lobby until a timer runs out which allies also want to participate in this raid. Until the raid starts, trainers can leave the lobby and thus the raid at any time. And for this reason, a trainer on Reddit has a tip that would allow for many more raids to take place.
Trailer for the current season Timeless Travels.
Start video
Pokémon GO shows the new season “Timeless Travels” in the trailer
Trainer believes it usually requires far fewer allies than expected
What is the tip? The trainer advises his fellow players not to leave raid lobbies prematurely and to dare a raid with 4 people.
On Reddit, the user writes that usually far fewer trainers are needed to successfully complete a raid. He claims that about 95% of the raids in this game can be done with 4 decently leveled players.
Far too many raids do not take place because trainers leave the lobby before the raid starts, even though there are 4 trainers over level 35. He also adds: Do you really think you need 6 people to defeat a Thundurus?
What does the community say about it? Other trainers point out that participating trainers also need strong counters for the raid boss. Even if these aren’t the strongest attackers in Pokémon GO. However, this is not relevant for every trainer in Pokémon GO.
Another trainer writes: Just as an example: My wife plays just as much as I do and her level is only slightly lower than mine, but she probably couldn’t even put together 3 decent Pokémon for most raids because she just likes to catch Pokémon and doesn’t care which Pokémon are strong and which are not.
It is also noted that the fear of wasting a raid pass is another important point. One more trainer remarks: It’s the raid passes that are the problem. They are so expensive, although I think they are a crucial part of the game. Another comment on this is: I think it’s people who just don’t know any better and who don’t want to waste expensive raid passes.
What is your opinion on this? Is the trainer right, or do you think this statement is too simplistic? How many allies do you stay in the raid lobby with and participate in the battle? Feel free to let us know in the comments. What events in January 2024 in Pokémon GO you can find out about from us as well.

Palworld makes an impressive start. But Pokémon fans are angry. They see blatant copies of their beloved pocket monsters.
The concept behind Palworld has a strong appeal at first glance. Similar to genre representatives like Pokémon or Digimon, you can collect numerous peculiar creatures called Pals. However, they are not just your friends and companions in battle – there are also firearms, the enslavement of the creatures, and base building.
In short: A lot of ideas come together that make you at least curious and make you want to take a look.
However, a group of fans is now speaking out loudly, calling Palworld a blatant copy. They claim that some of the Pals have simply been taken from Pokémon.
Start video

What is the criticism of Palworld? Even though the basic principle of “monster collecting” has been adopted by many games, fans are particularly concerned about the similarity of many Pals to well-known Pokémon. The accusation here is that the creators of Palworld have used the most popular designs and incorporated them into their own game with minimal changes.
Is there evidence for this? Several users on social media are sharing their concerns and comparing the designs of the Pals to Pokémon, such as AutomnRaptor1 on X (formerly Twitter), who compares a whole series of creatures. Sometimes the entire design is said to have been taken over, other times mainly the color palette and the basic idea. A certain similarity is at least hard to deny, but see for yourself:
Is Palworld harmful? Currently, the criticism of Palworld seems to be largely fading. Since the launch of early access on Steam, the game has been doing quite well. At the current time (January 19, 2024, 12:30 PM), over 210,000 players are enjoying Palworld, and the reviews are 85% positive.
However, whether the proximity to Pokémon will have long-term consequences and if Nintendo might try to assert copyright violations remains to be seen. So far, it seems to be mainly the Pokémon community that is fighting this battle.

With the G Pro X TKL Lightspeed, Logitech has introduced an expensive gaming keyboard for 230 euros. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann took a closer look at the keyboard.
Which keyboard is it about? With the G Pro X TKL Lightspeed, Logitech has introduced a wireless gaming keyboard in a TKL design. With a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of 229 euros, the keyboard is not exactly cheap and is more aligned with the high-end representatives in the keyboard sector.
I was able to test the gaming keyboard for you and will explain whether purchasing the keyboard is worth it for you.
What does the scope of delivery look like? In the box, in addition to the keyboard, there is also the wireless transmitter, a USB cable for charging, an adapter for the transmitter, and a transport case for the keyboard.
How is the keyboard built? The keyboard features an official tenkeyless design. This means the keyboard stops on the right side after the arrow keys. There is no number pad. At the top of the keyboard, there are media keys that allow you to mute the sound, skip to the next music track, or activate various functions of the keyboard.
At the top right edge is a notched wheel that you can use to adjust the volume. However, the media keys overall sit a bit too low for everyday use, especially compared to the high keycaps that Logitech has installed.
What does the keyboard look like? The keyboard comes in a TKL design. The keyboard is available in Germany in three different colors: black, pink, and white. In my test, the black model was used.
The RGB lighting can be adjusted and adequately illuminates all keys, making them easily readable even in the dark. If needed, the lighting can be completely turned off, though I wouldn’t recommend that, as then the keys are hardly readable.
Also annoying: With the G Pro X TKL Lightspeed, Logitech once again fails to ensure that the special characters are also illuminated. This was already the case with the G915. Even with the G Pro X TKL Lightspeed, special characters like µ, @, or the € sign are only printed and not illuminated.
Without lighting, the keys are hardly readable. Only the printed special characters stand out.
Process
The keyboard uses a plastic chassis with an aluminum plate over the circuit board. This feels high quality. Overall, the build quality makes a good impression. One could only criticize Logitech for not using mechanical switches under the media keys.
The battery is permanently installed but can supposedly be removed and replaced with a few steps according to the instructions. I did not do that. However, doing so also voids the warranty.
The carrying case has a sturdy and high-quality impression, and the keyboard can be stored well and securely in it.
By the way, Logitech does not use hot-swappable switches; the installed switches are firmly mounted. However, I find this decision surprising: In the older wired PRO X, Logitech uses hot-swap technology. Why they no longer offer the option here is a mystery to me.
A close-up of the Logitech G Pro X TKL Lightspeed: The media wheel on the right edge.
Software
For the software, Logitech uses the “G Hub” software. Through the software, different functions of the keyboard can be adjusted or completely reconfigured. The battery life of the keyboard is also displayed within the software interface.
Practical: Through the software, you can set the keyboard’s lighting to turn off after a certain period of inactivity. This saves power.
Logitech’s “G Hub” software: Clear and unobtrusive.
Overall, the software remains unobtrusive and non-intrusive. Self- or third-party advertisements are not displayed, unlike SteelSeries or Razer, and an optional community hub with additional key assignments remains pleasantly in the background. A login is also not mandatory. During the test period, the software caused me no problems, and everything ran smoothly.
Ergonomics
The keyboard is more ergonomic than other keyboards due to the TKL design. The advantage of small keyboards (TKL and smaller formats) is that you can keep your right arm with the mouse closer to your body, which corresponds to a healthier posture.
Additionally, you can use it completely wirelessly. This makes the keyboard very flexible, as you need less additional space on your desk for cables.
However, it is unfortunate that the keyboard does not come with a wrist rest. I purchased an additional wrist rest made of bamboo privately, which makes the keyboard more comfortable to use for me.
With lighting, everything is very visible. Even in the dark, all keys are well-lit. The special keys are only printed and do not light up.
The Keys
Under the keycaps of my keyboard are brown GX switches from Logitech, which in turn come from the manufacturer Kailh. Kailh is one of the larger companies for key switches and uses the same cross pattern for its switches as Cherry.
The installed switches deliver exactly what you would expect from brown switches. They are quiet enough and do not provide audible feedback (red switches click audibly); however, you can feel the typical resistance characteristic of brown switches when you want to press the key. As a result, brown switches are slightly slower than red ones, but they feel significantly more precise.
Brown GX switches lie under the keys. The Kailh engraving is present on each switch.
How loud is the keyboard? The switches are restrained but noticeable. The key presses, in particular, are made evident by my fingers. As a result, the keyboard offers a pleasantly low noise level but is still noticeably audible. You have to like that; however, it is not unusual for a mechanical keyboard with brown switches.
I do not count the G Pro X TKL Lightspeed among the quietest of its kind. It does not compare to the excellent Ducky One 3 or the also good Epomaker RT100, but it is also not comparable to the rattly green switches that Razer uses or the sometimes clattering keys of the Vulcan series from Roccat.
Insulation, as implemented by Ducky, is also not provided by the G Pro X TKL Lightspeed. The keys are also not lubricated.
The Logitech G Pro X TKL Lightspeed from the side.
Conclusion: Good gaming keyboard for far too high a price
Is the keyboard worth it? With a suggested retail price of 229 euros, Logitech’s G Pro X TKL Lightspeed is very expensive. The regular wired G Pro X gaming keyboard costs around 130 euros, and the regular G Pro without X is even available for under 100 euros in some cases. In my opinion, these are the better offers if you want to go with Logitech.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
What alternatives are there?
With the Logitech G413 TKL SE, you get a good gaming keyboard for around 70 euros. With blue switches and PBT keycaps, you get a fair deal.
With the Ducky One 3, you get it for 160 euros, and that is also a fair deal: Good switches, clean craftsmanship, plus insulation in the case and hot-swappable switches.
With the Akko 3068 B-Plus, you get my secret tip for under 100 euros. I find the price-performance ratio to be even a little better than the Epomaker RT100.

At the beginning of the week, Maximilian “HandOfBlood” Knabe (31) surprised his fans with the announcement that he would be streaming regularly on Twitch and scaling back video production for YouTube. We will tell you how the content creator is doing after 2 days. Spoiler: quite well.
HandOfBlood is on Twitch? Actually, the content creator is more known for elaborate YouTube videos, in which he takes on the craziest roles. However, in a video from January 16, 2024, HandOfBlood explained that he wants to stream more regularly on Twitch.
He lacks the passion for video production, as it is burdensome and not very rewarding, according to the 31-year-old. He actually just wants to play games. You can find out what will happen with his YouTube channels here:
HandOfBlood is not entirely new on Twitch, but since 2020 he had hardly been on air and preferred to focus on YouTube. The content creator used streams mainly for special occasions, such as his Influencer Darts World Championship. For the 31-year-old and his viewers, streaming is now a change.
HandOfBlood is known for giving his all for his videos:

HandOfBlood Takes Over Twitch
How is HandOfBlood doing on Twitch? HandOfBlood could hardly have wished for a better start on Twitch. The success was already apparent before he even went live: hardly had he announced the switch, when an offline chat had already formed on Twitch, and the first viewers had already subscribed to the channel (via X.com)
When the first “real” stream followed on January 17, 2024, HandOfBlood was initially a bit nervous. However, that did not dampen the mood. The content creator received support from friends like Kalle Koschinsky and Sterzig.
But the experienced entertainer quickly found his groove and entertained the viewers with League of Legends and Dark Souls.
What do the statistics say? In terms of numbers, HandOfBlood also does not have to hide and can already compete with the biggest German streamers: with just two completed streams, the content creator is already in 2nd place on the German Twitch charts for average viewers, closely behind Papaplatte.
Regarding the watched hours, HandOfBlood is currently in 3rd place, behind Papaplatte and EliasN97 – however, with 10 or 13 hours less streaming time than the competition. Thus, HandOfBlood is even ahead of established streaming giants like MontanaBlack (via SullyGnome).
HandOfBlood is just behind Papaplatte (via SullyGnome).
This is how HandOfBlood summarizes his first stream: On X, formerly Twitter, the newly minted streamer appeared overwhelmed and thanked his fans for their support. With a single stream, he was able to reach over 387,000 viewers and gain over 21,800 new followers:

In the last minutes of his first stream, HandOfBlood drew a positive balance: he could not really appreciate everything because it was simply too much. The content creator suspects that it is probably a “difficult transition” for his YouTube viewers.
They now have to get used to the new process and it is always difficult when something changes. The more HandOfBlood appreciates how viewers with a bit more Twitch experience help newcomers and explain functions.
Overall, HandOfBlood’s Twitch debut can be classified as a success.
The iconic film hero and adventurer Indiana Jones will receive his own game in 2024, and the first gameplay has already impressed fans.
What kind of game is it? The legendary film hero and adventurer Indiana Jones is getting a game developed by MachineGames, set to be released in 2024 for Xbox Series X|S and PC. The game is played from a first-person perspective, and you will step into the shoes of Indy.
The game is titled Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and is set in 1937, between the films “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “The Last Crusade.” The game focuses on everything that makes Indiana Jones who he is: exploring ancient temples, solving puzzles, and utilizing Indy’s legendary whip.
A taste of the story and the first gameplay of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle can be seen in the reveal trailer:

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle shows first gameplay in the reveal trailer
Indy uncovers the background of a mysterious theft
What is the game about? At the beginning of the game, Indy is working at Marshall College when he wakes up in the middle of the night due to the sound of a window breaking. A thief has broken into the college museum, and Indy rushes out to confront the intruder.
However, Indy cannot stop the tall intruder, who escapes with a historically insignificant artifact. This piques the legendary adventurer’s curiosity, and Indy sets off for the Vatican to find out why this particular artifact was stolen.
In Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, there will again be a villain that Indy encounters during the story. This villain is named Emmerich Voss.
Voss is described as a very intelligent man who is obsessed with the human mind and its manipulation.
With the whip through the temples
What do we know about the gameplay? According to MachineGames, the gameplay of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is based on three fundamental aspects:
Close combat
Stealth
Shooting
There will be various situations where you can sneak past your opponents or take them out quietly from behind. You will also have the chance to use firearms from time to time, such as those taken from an unconscious guard.
The most notable feature of the gameplay is the use of Indy’s whip. You can use it to fight and trip opponents. It is also suitable for distracting a guard or overcoming an obstacle. Indy can use it to grip and slide down a long rope or use it as a grappling hook to climb a high wall.
Of course, various puzzles and riddles must not be missing in an “Indiana Jones” game. Additionally, while exploring lost temples or the Egyptian pyramids, you will encounter different traps and secrets to discover.
MachineGames summarized the game with the words: The closer you look, the more you can discover.
In general, the game wants you to think first, as that is how the Indy experience is best conveyed. To assist you with this, the game always offers several ways to complete an area.
How is the trailer received? Very well. In the comments on YouTube, there are many fans of Indiana Jones who are already looking forward to the game.
A selection of the comments can be seen here:
dhruvo100: “This is how you reveal a game. Spoiler-free cutscenes, a bit of gameplay, real-time visualization and combat. This trailer gave me everything I wanted to know about this game, and honestly, it looks cool!”
HamSammichOG: “This really brought me to tears. They designed the combat just like it was fought in the films.”
Lunarian3575: “Seeing my childhood hero getting a game like this is everything I wished for.”
AlfredFJones1776: “Indiana Jones games hold a special place in my heart.”
kjoligbris: “I wasn’t sure what to expect when they said they were developing an Indiana Jones game. But it looks like a lot of fun.”
What do we know about the developer studio? MachineGames is known for the games Wolfenstein: The New Order, The Old Blood, The New Colossus, and Youngblood, and is also a subsidiary of the U.S. holding company ZeniMax Media, just like Bethesda.

Palworld is now available in Early Access and you can finally get started. With over 100 catchable Pals, the question arises, which one to start with. Here are our tips for you.
[toc]
How many Pals are there in the game? In the Early Access of Palworld, there are about 113 different Pals. According to the developer, there should be a total of 175 at the full release.
What should you pay attention to when choosing a Pal? When selecting your Pals, pay attention to their type. Currently, there are:
Neutral
Plant
Fire
Water
Ice
Electric
Ground
Dark.
All types with their strengths and weaknesses can be found directly on MeinMMO explained:
Additionally, each Pal has partner and work abilities. This makes them suitable for various tasks. What exactly they can do for you depends on their types mentioned above: Electric Pals can power your machinery, while Water types can water your vegetable gardens.

These starters will help you get the best possible start in Palworld
Each of the following Pals is helpful for starting in the game, even though each of them has a slightly different focus. Therefore, choose your starter according to your gaming preferences.
All four of our suggestions can fight – by the way, you can also catch them all. Unlike in Pokémon, you don’t have to choose a specific starter. It’s just about the order.
You can find all these Pals relatively close to your initial camp.
Cattiva for more carrying capacity
Cattiva is a Neutral type Pal. Its partner ability allows you to have Cattiva carry materials for you. This increases your overall carrying capacity.
In combat, it stands out by pursuing enemies and repeatedly striking them with its Punch Flurry.
At the camp, it assists you with crafts, transport, gathering, and mining.

The chicken among the Pals is Chikipi, a neutral type. It is especially helpful due to its ability to lay eggs, which you can then process into food. For this, you just need to assign it to a ranch.
In battle, it uses Chicken Rush: Chikipi flies towards the enemies and blocks their vision. At the same time, it keeps attacking with its beak.
When it comes to work, Chikipi can assist you with gathering and farming.

Foxparks is a Fire Pal that keeps you warm. It is essential for survival because it can light your campfire. Campfires are crucial if you want to cook and feed yourself.
When you send Foxparks into battle, it attacks with Dakko Fire. This ability allows it to shoot fireballs from its bushy tail at the enemies. You can also pick it up and use it like a flamethrower.
This Pal unfortunately cannot be found directly around your first camp. You will need to search for it in a slightly larger radius.

Pal Lamball is also neutral and appears quite frequently in the world of Palworld. When you equip it, its thick wool transforms into a Fluffy Shield – it protects you from attacks.
When it fights, Lamball uses Roly Poly. It rolls into a ball, trying to knock down opponents like a bowling ball.
In work, this Pal helps you with crafts, transport, gathering, and mining.

Basically, you can start well with any of the four Pals: Foxparks is essential as it provides you with fire. Lamball, on the other hand, increases your defense and thus your initial chances of survival.
We would collect the Pals in the following order: Lamball, Foxparks, Chikipi, and lastly Cattiva.
A statistic now shows which 5 video games in e-sports reached the most viewer hours worldwide in 2023. Riot Games dominates the ranking with LoL and Valorant, but Valve (Steam) is also well represented with Counter-Strike and DOTA 2. However, the fifth game is likely to surprise even Western e-sports experts. Behind ‘Mobile Legends: Bang Bang’ is a subsidiary of the TikTok provider Bytedance.
Where does the statistic come from? The statistic comes from ‘Echarts.com‘, which has ranked the 5 largest e-sports titles of 2023 by viewed hours. However, Chinese live streaming platforms were excluded from the statistic.
For the rankings of the largest e-sport titles in the world, the viewer time of e-sports matches was taken. It is therefore not enough for a Twitch streamer to simply play LoL to appear in the statistics; it must be played with an e-sport background.
Rank 5: Valorant
The shooter from Riot Games reached a viewer time of 326.73 million hours. The free-to-play shooter was released in 2020 and is therefore still relatively new in the quintet of top titles.
The highlight in 2023 was the ‘Valorant Championship.’

Rank 4: DOTA 2
The MOBA from Valve reached 364.09 million hours. The highlight was the tournament ‘The International 2023’ – this year, however, the tournament had significantly fewer viewers than in previous years, due to a change in the philosophy of DOTA 2, which led to a reduction in prize money.
DOTA 2 grew in 2023 mainly because third-party events accumulated more viewer hours, such as the ‘Riyadh Masters 2023.’
Start video
Dota 2 – The New Frontiers Update
Rank 3: Counter-Strike (Global Offensive & 2)
The shooter from Valve had 381.56 million viewed hours in 2023. This is significantly less than in 2022, even though with Counter-Strike 2 such a highlight was on the calendar year. But in 2023 there were simply too few major e-sports events in Counter-Strike.
This is a game that few in the West will know: It comes from ‘Moonton’, a subsidiary of Bytedance, the Chinese company behind TikTok. The game was released in 2016 for Android and iOS and is a kind of ‘Mobile LoL’: two 5-member teams compete against each other.
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang originally started with 10 heroes – now players have 123 to choose from.
The MOBA is free-to-play and is monetized through sales of skins and characters. It was released in 2016 as a ‘5vs5 MOBA’ also in the USA, but was sued by Riot Games in 2017 and had to rebrand.
In Southeast Asia, there is a vibrant e-sports scene for the game. A total of 530.16 million hours were viewed in 2023.

Get ready for the MAL MY – Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
Number 1: League of Legends
With 590.94 million hours, LoL is again the industry leader. Especially the Worlds 2023 made a big impact, with nearly 150 million hours alone.
As Echarts notes, not everything is great in LoL either: In the established regions USA, Europe, and South Korea, LoL shrank in 2023, while in Vietnam it grew significantly.
Compared to 2022, the e-sport of LoL was viewed about 30 million hours less than in 2022.
During the Xbox Developer Direct 2024, Avowed was one of the titles that could showcase a new gameplay trailer. The focus of the video was not only on the different biomes and the decision-making options in quests but also on the combat system. The material shown has been well received by players.
What makes the combat system special? In Avowed, it will be possible to quickly switch between melee and ranged weapons as well as special abilities. The video shows that the character can switch between all kinds of weapon types at the push of a button.
The combat system is not intended to be simple “hack and slash”, but rather require real-time decisions from the player. Depending on the type of enemy and personal preferences, a different weapon combination is necessary.
This is expressed in the freedom that players can design their loadout freely. The following combinations are possible, for example:
Revolver and shield
Wand and sword
2 revolvers
2 wands
This way, players would have the opportunity to express their own play style. They could determine how they react in different situations through seamless weapon switching, according to Obsidian Entertainment.
You can watch the video from the presentation here:
Start video
Avowed – The Combat System in the Trailer
There are also many freedoms in quests
What decision-making freedoms do I have? As in The Outer Worlds, it is possible to determine the outcome of quests. At certain points, we receive different options in dialogues, leading to a different course of events.
The video shows an NPC who describes a situation to us. In this case, players can decide whether to believe him and hand over an item, or to accuse him of lying. This would then lead to a fight with the NPC.
What do the biomes look like? In Avowed, there will be different landscapes. The trailer shows deserts, rocky landscapes, and forests. The luminescent mushrooms and strange plants give the continent an alien look.
When will the game be released? Avowed is expected to be released sometime in autumn 2024. A precise date is still pending.
What do players say about it? In the comments, there are many fans who have positive words for the gameplay material. Many of the commenters are looking forward to trying out the combat style where players use two wands.
We have selected some comments for you to give you an idea of the general mood:
stormblade3408: “When she said: ‘We welcome moral nuances and gray areas’, I reflexively thought, ‘Yes, exactly’, because I’m used to hearing buzzwords thrown around, but then I remembered what I had to go through in PoE I and II. So I have a lot of trust in Obsidian in this area.”
Chuckkkkkstar: “I didn’t expect it to look this good. I am really excited about it.”
UnlimitedProduction1: “From the moment Obsidian showed the first teaser trailer, I was more than excited for Avowed. Now it’s coming in autumn 2024. Everyone at Obsidian has done a great job. This is the game I am looking forward to the most this year. I know it will be excellent.”
However, there is also criticism: One user writes, for example, that the hit feedback should still improve. There is not enough reaction when an enemy is hit.
In the last 365 days, no one had more viewers on Twitch watching League of Legends than the German Frederik “NoWay” Hinteregger (31). In the new season of LoL, he even ranked 2nd in Europe, but now LoL is really getting to him.
How successful is NoWay at LoL? Looking at the last 365 days, NoWay is actually the most successful Twitch streamer in the world for LoL. This is mainly due to the fact that he is on air much more than any comparably large streamer:
NoWay streamed 3,137 hours of LoL, averaging 12,224 viewers and accumulating 38.35 million hours of watch time
In 2nd place is the 29-year-old Brazilian Baiano, who has more viewers but streamed only half as often as NoWay, accumulating 31.7 million viewer hours.
In 3rd place is US hothead Tyler1, who streamed much less in 2023 than in previous years. He gathered “only” 25.3 million viewer hours.

How the Worst Troll from Twitch Became the Face of League of Legends
Season in LoL started great and then went downhill fast
How is it going for NoWay? For the German Twitch streamer, the current season in LoL actually started ideally; he rose to Rank 2 in Europe.
At the beginning of the season on January 10, 2024, NoWay won his first 6 games in a row and followed that up with another winning streak of 6: after 14 games, he stood at 12:2.
But currently, that seems to be a distant memory: NoWay is plagued by “losing streaks.”
The 31-year-old has had 2 heavy “minus days”:
On Sunday, January 14, he lost 7 games in a row
On Monday and Tuesday, it looked similarly bad: he lost 4 and 5 games in a row, respectively. It’s just not going well.
What is his reaction? In a recent video on YouTube, you can see how much the situation is affecting NoWay. He explains it’s his worst season start ever.
And on top of that, he has to listen to his chat constantly telling him how poorly he is playing.

This “backseat” gaming is just disgusting. People tell him to play champion X or Y, do something different, change his entire playstyle, even though he is a very decent player and just needs “teammates with arms.”
“Backseat” gaming describes the annoying behavior of “know-it-alls” who watch someone play and give wise tips on how to do it better.
NoWay repeatedly emphasizes that while he has a thick skin, he is slowly at his limit. He wonders where all the people in the chat come from who flame him with their first comment:
“I sit here every day for 10 hours for you, and you insult me all the time as soon as a game goes wrong. How can anyone be like that?”
The good news is: Of the last 6 games, he has won 5 in a row. It’s looking up.
Epitaff celebrates its debut in Pokémon GO. We explain how to obtain the new Pokémon and evolve Rasaff.
What kind of Pokémon is this? In Pokémon GO, the GO Battle Week event starts. In this event, Epitaff finds its way into the game. This Pokémon has the types Fighting and Ghost and is the evolution of Rasaff, hence the 2nd evolution of Menki.
To evolve Rasaff into Epitaff, you must first meet a certain requirement. We will explain what that is.
Trailer for the current season Timeless Journeys.
Start video
Pokémon GO shows the new season “Timeless Travels” in the trailer
Defeat Pokémon and have Rasaff as your buddy
How can I evolve Rasaff? To evolve Rasaff into Epitaff, you must first set your Rasaff as your buddy Pokémon. While it is your buddy Pokémon, you must defeat 30 Pokémon of the types Ghost or Psychic. You do not have to defeat the Pokémon with Rasaff itself; it just needs to be set as your buddy during this time.
You have many options to defeat the required Ghost and Psychic Pokémon. Opponents can be Pokémon in gyms, the battle league, in practice battles against team leaders, in duels against friends, or in raids.
Once you have met this requirement, you can evolve your Rasaff for 100 Menki candies and obtain the new Epitaff. By the way, in the event that brings Epitaff into the game, there are also 2 limited research tasks waiting for you.
How can I fulfill the requirement fastest? The quickest method to achieve the 30 victories with your Rasaff as your buddy Pokémon is with the help of a friend. First, set your Rasaff as your buddy Pokémon and create a battle team.
Ask your friend to create a team of 3 Pokémon, all of which are Ghost or Psychic type and have lower CP. Now fight your friend 10 times and you will have the 30 victories needed for the evolution.
Which Rasaff can evolve? You do not need a new Menki or Rasaff to obtain Epitaff. Even older Rasaff that you caught and evolved a while ago are suitable for this.
What do you think of the new Pokémon? How do you find the requirement you need to fulfill for the evolution? Do you think this approach is good, or do you believe that an evolution requiring only candies without any other requirement is better? Feel free to write us in the comments. You can also find more events in Pokémon GO in January 2024 with us.
