The Big Brother: Knossi Edition is the salvation of the “Big Brother” format. Interesting people, fun, and the strict big brother are exactly what I have wished for from the format for years.
Who is writing here? Our MeinMMO author Cedric regularly watches trash TV. For him, trash TV is his “guilty pleasure,” a pleasure that he somewhat feels ashamed of. Big Brother has particularly captured his attention.
For years, Big Brother has become increasingly irrelevant. The surveillance show has not been as popular as other formats like “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!”, but at the same time has been threatened by newer formats like “The Summer House of the Stars”. The Big Brother Knossi Edition is just what fans of the show have needed for years.
Interesting people with real stories who already know each other a bit and all have some kind of connection.
Interaction with the chat and mobile phones for the participants of the show adds even more fun because the participants and viewers are more connected.
No more starving and no “prison feeling” ensures a positive mood among the participants.
Clear rules and a tough “big brother” who takes action but does not impose punishments that ruin the participants’ mood.
It is simply nice to see that a format can also be better when it does not drift further into extremes but becomes more positive.
Jens “Knossi” Knossalla (37) is an entertainer and invited his friends to the 57-hour Big Brother: Knossi Edition this year. Here you can learn more about him:

Big Brother: Knossi Edition is the opposite of the TV version
The Knossi Edition is deliberately designed to be positive, while the TV version feels like it gets a bit more extreme every year. This year, for example, earned food could only be kept until the next morning, which means that every morning and lunch, there were only oatmeal with tap water to eat. Also, shopping always has to be earned first.
For years, Celebrity Big Brother always had two or, as last year, three areas. A good and a bad area. This heaven-and-hell principle was supposed to create more jealousy and let the residents argue.
This year, they have returned to the retro version. However, this has also led to Big Brother being filmed in a “poor” area in the Knossi Edition. You can learn more about the Knossi Edition here.
Big Brother can learn a lot from its own Knossi Edition
A significant learning factor for the show’s creators is that the program also works well without conflict. In the Knossi Edition, only participants who are known to Knossi or each other have gathered in the house.
Although not all of them are friends, they belong to the same circle of acquaintances, which also leads to participants being much more open about stories they have experienced together. For example, some participants from the survival show 7 vs. Wild are present.
The format is also not as harsh as Celebrity Big Brother and still creates iconic moments for the contestants, such as during group baking.
The whole format simply creates the right mix of Big Brother and class reunion feel. Another class reunion is coming soon at the Christmas event of MontanaBlack, who was also a guest at Knossi’s Big Brother Edition.

The Day Before has gone from the most wanted game on Steam to a flop, both for the developer and the gamers who were looking forward to the survival MMO. Two alternatives are now bundling together to give The Day Before a jab.
What kind of offer is this? On Steam, the survival games DayZ and Icarus are currently available as a bundle. Under the name “The Day After Survival Sale,” the two games are being offered together for €49.56 on Steam. This represents a 33% discount compared to the full price of both games combined.
How is this being discussed? The reference to The Day Before has not gone unnoticed by other gamers. In a Reddit thread, users are praising the studios behind DayZ and Icarus for their tongue-in-cheek action:
Goonders: “The funniest thing to me is that they [Fntastic] can’t fight back because they claim to have closed down.”
Stumpyz: “Holy straw bag, what a great move by them.”
RedditSanity: “I want to reinstall DayZ just for this action.”
Other users are discussing the quality of both games: Both Icarus and DayZ have had a rather rocky start, but now stand at 81% (Icarus) and 92% (DayZ) positive in the “recent reviews” (as of December 13, 2023).
After the – not too surprising – failure of The Day Before, many gamers seem to be so frustrated that they are reacting with schadenfreude. However, it also seems that many were genuinely looking forward to the survival MMO, and are now searching for a possible alternative. One such alternative is what the developer Starry Studios aims to provide:
For bargain hunters, the offer is conditional, as the survival MMO DayZ can sometimes be snagged on sale for €19.99 (via SteamDB). The appeal lies more in the somewhat humorous jab against the competition.
However, those who are in a survival frenzy and do not yet own both games may be interested in the bundle. The offer is valid until December 21, 2023.

Twitch streamer Fibi fights against ongoing waves of hate and actively advocates for a more positive focus in the streaming community. In an emotional exchange with colleague HoneyPuu, she revealed the mental strain caused by hate comments and addressed the lack of solidarity and personal challenges in the streamer world.
Who is Fibi? Fibi, who is also known as “xFibii”, has experienced an impressive rise on the streaming platform Twitch at the age of 17. Within just three years, she has become one of the most prominent female streamers in Germany and gained international success.
Whether on Madeira or at the mixing console – These are 5 of the biggest German Twitch streamers
What experiences does Fibi have with waves of hate? The young and aspiring streamer has been confronted with relentless waves of hate for some time now. Streamer colleague Reved has publicly spoken out and called on her viewers to leave Fibi alone. Nevertheless, the 17-year-old continues to fight against the negative remarks.
Fibi herself has already spoken out several times and emphasized how much the hate personally affects her. In an emotional stream, she announced her decision to focus more on positive comments in order to achieve a healthier mental state. She is now actively trying to pass on this inner change to her colleagues who experience similar pressures.
What does Fibi pass on to her streamer colleagues? Fibi recently had a conversation with the streamer HoneyPuu, who is currently struggling with a flood of hate comments herself. Especially after announcing her breakup with Sascha, also known as “unsympathisch_tv”, the negative comments increased.
Fibi, who has already experienced a public breakup, gave an honest insight into the mental strain caused by constant hate. She clarified how difficult it is to concentrate on streaming when the chat is filled with negativity. The view of deleted messages further intensifies the mental strain.
In an appeal, Fibi urged not to interfere in the personal relationships of streamers and emphasized that she herself has already “overcome the wave” and is slowly coming to terms with the situation.
What does Fibi say about the influencer scene? Fibi revealed the lack of support within the streaming community. Streamers, who are supposed to be colleagues, often shoot against each other and quickly distance themselves at feelings of competition.
The streamer explained that many viewers do not know what private struggles are happening behind the scenes. She emphasized that it is especially difficult when friends are supposed to also be colleagues.

Additionally, the following bonuses are available:
The Finals is barely a week old and yet the first hackers are supposedly in the game. The community accuses a certain nation of hacking particularly much and demands drastic measures.
Why is the community frustrated? The community is frustrated because hackers are supposedly already at large in The Finals after not even a week.
A thread has gone viral on Reddit showing a player with Chinese characters as a name, who dominated his round with 46 eliminations to 2 deaths.
The thread creator NeonMatrixxx writes: ‘This guy was running around using aimbot and wallhacks. When I was running outside, I died. Immediately. Then I realized that this was a common behavior throughout the game.’
You can see how things are going in The Finals in this trailer:

Community wants to lock out Chinese players
What does the community demand? The community demands drastic measures, but not against hackers, rather against Chinese players in general. A user named TryItOutGG proposed to impose a region lock on China.
This would mean that Chinese players could only play with other Chinese players and not with players from other countries. The proposal received over 800 votes and is the top comment under the thread.
Additionally, the Finals leaderboard is led by Chinese players. Some Reddit users have therefore expressed suspicion that these players might be top of the leaderboard by unfair means. A region lock would remove the Chinese players from the leaderboard.
Chinese players dominate leaderboards – all hackers?
What is behind this? A look at the The Finals leaderboard actually shows mainly Chinese players at the top. However, most of them are streamers or e-sports professionals who earn their living by being good in The Finals.
Many users on the leaderboard have the name of a Chinese live streaming platform before their nick. This is comparable to someone being live on Twitch or TTV and indicating this in their username.
The top players do not seem to be hackers, but actually professional players.
What about the other Chinese players who are not professionals? Besides the professionals, there seem to be actually Chinese hackers in The Finals. However, one can quickly find Western cheat manufacturers with a simple Google search.
It seems more that the anti-cheat system of The Finals is not secure enough, as currently many providers of cheats and hacks are offering their services for the game.
What other measures are there? The community is demanding not only a region lock but also better anti-cheat measures. However, players seem to primarily see the problem with Chinese players.
In some games, fans can buy loot boxes to potentially draw great items with luck. They pay real money for this. However, for some people, this becomes a big problem – as in this case, where a player spent the equivalent of 9,000 euros on loot boxes in Counter-Strike.
In the game CS:GO, there are so-called “cases” that you can buy for real money. If you get one, there is a chance to draw rare items – but the chance is usually low.
The rarest items in CS:GO are sold for extremely high prices on digital marketplaces; there are even examples with prices in the six-figure range. This likely has an effect on why loot boxes in CS:GO are so coveted by some players.
However, they also cause a problem: namely when players spend money on the boxes beyond their own limits. This also happened to a player in New Zealand.
Loot boxes instead of home ownership
The New Zealand news portal “RNZ” spoke to a player who reported how he invested large sums in CS:GO loot boxes. In fact, according to the report, it was less about the possible winnings, but simply about the excitement of clicking and opening the boxes.
As he always invested only small amounts, it didn’t feel like he was spending much money – until he realized how much it actually added up.
When the player reviewed his expenditures, he felt “terrible,” according to the report. He now doesn’t trust himself with the credit card anymore, which is why he gave it to his wife: “As a person with an addiction, one always finds a way to say ‘I’ll save this week so I have something to spend.’ It’s simply easier to give her everything,” said the player (via RNZ.co.nz).
In total, he had spent over time 16,000 New Zealand dollars, which is about 9,000 euros: “If I had saved all that money in a bank account, I would now have about 16k that I could have invested in a home mortgage or something similar.”
He also refers to videos on the internet that glorify opening loot boxes. There, one only sees the “good” things, while the thousands in expenses aren’t visible beforehand.
If you have problems with gambling or are worried about a loved one, contact the counseling hotline of the Federal Ministry. The counseling team of the BZgA can be reached for free and anonymously at 0800 1 37 27 00during the following hours: Monday to Thursday from 10 AM to 10 PM and Friday to Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM, 363 days a year (excluding December 24 and December 31).
Are loot boxes gambling?
On the topic of loot boxes: Loot boxes in video games are a critically scrutinized topic. This applies not only to games like CS:GO but also in many other games. The same issue arises in the Ultimate Team mode of FIFA or EA FC, as there have also been examples of players who put a lot of money into packs in the hope of getting something great.
In some countries, such as the Netherlands or Belgium, loot boxes have already led to consequences. This primarily concerns content that you spend money on but receive good benefits only through chance – meaning that you don’t really know what you’re spending your money on. For example, Lost Ark is not playable in the Netherlands and Belgium because it is classified as gambling there. The same situation applies to Diablo Immortal in both countries.
Loot boxes that give players gameplay advantages are particularly critically viewed and thus contribute to “Pay2Win.” Other loot boxes, such as those in CS:GO, provide cosmetic items that merely change the appearance in the game – but even there, as seen in the example here, one can quickly spend a lot of money.
Another example that caused a big controversy was the 2017 released Star Wars game “Battlefront II,” which received so much backlash for its loot boxes that the entire system in the game was revised. Read more about the background here.

In the latest episode 7 vs. Wild season 3, a team made an incredible find. How the production could have overlooked it remains a mystery. There are also exciting encounters with the other teams.
Warning, this article contains spoilers for episodes 1–13 of 7 vs. Wild season 3
What was found? On their expedition through the forests, the team of Ann-Kathrin “Affe auf Bike” Bendixen (23) and Hannah Assil (32) came across an abandoned village. The village consists of several abandoned hunting cabins in usable condition. There was even a toilet hut on site. The houses are made of wood, but they have glass windows and lockable doors. One house is even two stories high.
Given the condition of the village and the magazines found, it appears that the village has not been visited for about 30 years. Contrary to expectations, the village was full of useful resources for the team.
How the production could have overlooked the village is puzzling. Other teams, such as the team of the founding father of 7 vs. Wild, Fritz Meinecke, received instructions on where they were allowed to move. This does not seem to have been the case with the wildcard team, which is why this situation has arisen. In the past, there have been recurring problems with the production company.
What items could the team grab? In the village, the participants found a variety of useful items, including:
toilet paper / Zewa
German books and magazines (dated 93/94)
slippers
clothes
plastic boxes
broom
an oven
pot holders
lighter and ashtray
firewood
The list is incomplete as not all houses were shown in the series.
Why didn’t the participants stay there? The team asks themselves in the episode whether they would have stayed there if they had discovered the village on day 2. Hannah believes in the episode that the village has a mystical aura, although she states that she finds it somewhat crazy. She would prefer to stay at her current home.
The team had already made themselves quite comfortable over the past week and had built a chair in addition to a bed.
One of the participants of season 3 is the Twitch streamer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla. You can see more about him in our video.

Wolves scare a “7 vs. Wild” team
Where are there problems with wolves? With Knossi and Sascha Huber (31), there was already a wolf in close proximity to the sleeping place in episode 2. At the end of the current episode, influencer Knossi discovers a wolf solution at their shelter in the middle of the night. Earlier in the day, the two had already noticed an unusual smell of urine that is said to have surrounded the participants’ sleeping area.
Whether the wolves feel threatened by the team’s intrusion or want to mark their territory is not clarified by an info box. The situation appears threatening in the middle of the night, especially since it happened only a few meters away from the participants’ camp.
Have Trymacs and Rumathra found their way back? Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler (29) and Wieland “Rumathra” Welte (27) no longer had a camera battery, which is why they can only tell the story of their adventurous return journey. The influencer team seems to have mastered the way back. Although they considered getting picked up, they managed to fight their way back through the forest to the shelter.
The day after the expedition, Trymacs suffers from severe kidney pain and can only survive the whole day with painkillers. In the evening, however, Trymacs seems to be doing quite well again, as he plays a game of chess on Rumathra’s homemade chessboard.
How are Papaplatte and Reeze doing? They both seem to be doing better than in the past days. Although Dominik “Reeze” Reezmann (30) continues to struggle with circulation problems, the team makes one last attempt to return to the beach to find food there. At the beach, the team finds algae but is unsure whether it is edible.
In the episode, the team also expands their shelter. The sleeping area of the two gets walls made of brushwood, which are important for protection against the wind.
It’s still a while until GTA VI is released. According to the first trailer, the game will not be released until 2025. Nevertheless, the hype is already enormous. To help you pass the time until the release of Rockstar’s next gangster epic, we have five alternatives below that cover various aspects of a “GTA” and provide many hours of fun.
What makes GTA so special? Before we jump into the list, we need to clarify what exactly makes a game a GTA alternative:
A sandbox open world where we can do whatever we want. It usually consists of a larger city where we can create chaos at will.
A satirical exaggerated story set in the gangster milieu, or at least allows us to commit criminal acts.
A large selection of vehicles, weapons, and outfits to customize our character.
Diverse side activities such as sports or other leisure activities that give the game the flair of a life simulation.
Now that this is clarified, let’s dive straight into the list. Important to note: This is not a ranking. The games presented cover different aspects of a “GTA” and can therefore only compete with each other to a limited extent. All are available for current and last console generations and PC, predominantly as remastered versions.
Sleeping Dogs offers players a completely different scenario than what is expected from GTA 5 and similar games. It takes place in the underground world of Hong Kong. Playing as the policeman Wei Shen, we go on an undercover mission to infiltrate the notorious triads, basically the Chinese version of the Italian mafia.
In doing so, the player traverses an open game world that, in terms of design and presentation, is hardly inferior to GTA. In four different districts, we are on foot or in one of the many vehicles that we can, quite typical for the genre, take without asking. If we act criminally, the police are soon on our trail. Since we must not blow our cover during our undercover mission, we inevitably have to fend off our adversaries.
A special feature of “Sleeping Dogs” is the combat system. Unlike many other games of this type, the firearm here is not the first choice. Instead, Wei Shen uses his martial arts skills to kick and punch like in a fighting game, quickly reducing the number of his opponents.
The third part of “Saints Row” stands here as a representative for the entire series. It is the first point of contact when it comes to completely over-the-top mission design. The game is very similar to GTA at its core, but just cranks everything up to the max. By the way, the last part of the series was released in 2022.
The protagonists of “The Third,” part of a gang called “3rd Street Saints,” are pop culture phenomena. There are posters and merchandise (bobbleheads!) everywhere in the open world, the members of the gang have turned into stars and behave accordingly. It goes without saying that the rival gangs do not want to stand idly by. Quickly, a gang war breaks out in which we devastate the city of Steelport.
Highlights, alongside the absurd and sometimes surreal missions, are the weapons we use to shoot through the game world. For instance, the “Mollusk Launcher” fires small octopuses that run around singing. With the “Shark-O-Matic,” we spawn a shark that eats enemies, and what function the grenade “Fart in a Jar” has is something everyone can guess.
All in all, “The Third” is the perfect game for those who find “GTA” not crazy enough yet.
The perhaps worst quest in Baldur’s Gate 3 is so annoying that many players never finish it – and there are several reasons for that.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is the largest and probably most successful RPG of recent years, recently awarded the “Game of the Year”. However good the game is overall, there is at least one quest that makes players around the world cringe at the mere mention of it. No mission has been more annoying than a quest from Act 3.
Spoiler Warning: The article contains minor spoilers about a quest from Act 3 of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Start video
Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming to PS5 – Trailer prepares for console release
Which quest is being referred to? The quest has the unassuming name “Dribbles the Clown.” You can accept it in the circus of Act 3 once you have dealt with the somewhat turbulent events near the circus stage.
At its core, the questline is remarkably simple, as you only need to find the body parts of Dribbles. The clown has gone missing from the circus and is quite certainly dead.
But simply finding the corpse is not enough, as the clown has been chopped into several pieces in the best Bhaal manner and is now used everywhere as decoration for gruesome murders. You need to find a total of 7 parts, and some are surprisingly well hidden.
The clown is grinning. However, he is actually neatly chopped up.
What makes the quest so annoying? Because this is a “search quest,” the mission objectives are not displayed on the map. You have to manually search for and find all parts of the clown – and that is not so easy in a city the size of Baldur’s Gate.
Not only are many of the body parts literally hidden “at the ass of the world,” but they are also easily overlooked. Mostly among large piles of corpses at various ritual murders and then again in closed houses – some of them are particularly small “corner houses” whose entrance doors you can easily overlook if you are not looking at them from a certain angle.
As if that weren’t annoying enough, there is another problem: since Dribbles is a whole person, he also weighs a corresponding amount. So if you don’t have a strength character like Karlach with you, the clown can easily “clutter” your entire inventory while you try to divide arms, legs, torso, head, and hands among various group members.
The reward is disappointing: As if the quest weren’t already annoying enough, the quest reward is hardly worth the effort. You get the “Spellmight Gloves.” These allow you to take a penalty of -5 on attack rolls for spells, in exchange for causing an additional 1d8 damage. Considering how often spells fail – and how drastically such a failure can affect combat – 1-8 additional damage is rarely a worthwhile trade.
To top it all off, the completion of the quest causes the circus to pack up its tents, and all the merchants and performers are no longer available.
However, considering how long it takes to wander for all of Dribbles’ parts, it is almost impossible that you have not completed anything else in the game.
What did you think of the quest about Dribbles? Annoying and you didn’t finish it? Or did you enjoy the hunt for the individual body parts?

Finding Obsidian in LEGO Fortnite is important, as you need the resource to craft various items. We will show you the locations on the map.
Where can you find Obsidian? You need to head to the desert biome of LEGO Fortnite. You can mine Obsidian in caves, but you must defeat strong enemies first and watch out for the lava. With the right preparation, this shouldn’t be a problem for you.
In this overview, we will show you how to safely get Obsidian.
How to find Obsidian
This is what you need to do: As you may know from other ores, you will also find Obsidian in caves. The problem is that Obsidian spawns next to lava. Mining it is not that easy.
Arm yourself with a sword to fight the strong enemies in the caves
Also, take torches and food with you
Snowberries or the snowberry shake are important for your endeavor
You need a pickaxe of at least “Rare” level to mine Obsidian
Open your map and head to the desert biome (the desert is outlined in yellow)
The available caves are marked with symbols
Now move to the entrance of the cave and march in
Go down in the cave until you can see the lava. Now you should protect yourself from the heat and eat the snowberries, for example. Otherwise, your health will keep decreasing because the heat is so strong.
Now look for Obsidian along the lava.
Tips: If you want, you can build a small shelter near the cave to heal there. Alternatively, bring enough cooked food with you to quickly restore your health points.
The snowberry shake gives you resistance against heat for 10 minutes. You can make it from snowberries (which grow on bushes in the snow biome) and milk (which you get by interacting with cows).
What does Obsidian look like? It is a rock that sparkles dark purple. Once you find it, you can easily mine it with your pickaxe. You will find it on walls or on the ground.
Once you have collected enough Obsidian, you can run back to your base and process it further to craft new items.
If you have any more tips on finding Obsidian, please write them in the comments here on MeinMMO and exchange ideas with other players.
Voice actress Tracy Wiles, who voiced the druid Jaheira in Baldur’s Gate 3, regularly streams the game on Twitch. However, when she uploaded one of those streams to YouTube, she was banned from the platform. What happened?
What kind of ban is this? On December 5, voice actress Tracy Wiles announced in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that her YouTube account had been suspended.
The reason for this was her second Twitch stream, in which she plays Baldur’s Gate 3 herself. She wanted to share what she described as a “completely chaotic” stream with everyone who couldn’t be there live, and uploaded the video to YouTube. But shortly after uploading, her account was restricted.
In this video you will learn which German Twitch streamershave already been dubbed for video games:

Do you recognize these German Twitch streamers by their dubbing voices in video games?
In her post, Wiles speculates that a single word might be responsible for the ban. It concerns the term “sphincter”, which is translated into German as “Ringmuskel”. This is what the doors on the Nautiloid ship right at the beginning of the game are called, which remind one of a sphincter muscle.
In the announcement for the video, Wiles jokingly warned: “Caution – I say the word ‘Ringmuskel’ about 25 times”.

However, the real reason for the ban was not quite so funny. In response to a further post by the voice actress, YouTube replied on December 11:
“After careful examination, we have confirmed that your channel was suspended due to a violation of Google’s terms of service. While it does not violate YouTube’s monetization policies, it is linked to a Google account that has an issue.”
What does that mean? The exact issues are still not clear.
“Can you elaborate on that? I would like to be operational again. Can you tell me what I need to change?” Wiles now tries to follow up.
Despite the YouTube chaos, the Jaheira voice actress wants to remain active on Twitch. The next stream is planned for Sunday, December 17. Some past streams can also still be watched on her Twitch channel.
Among the various X posts, fans are showing support for the “Baldur’s Gate 3” voice actress and express their confusion over the inaccurate statements from YouTube.
CorbynRed: “This is just weird. Can’t you contact Tracy and explain what the problem is?”
AyfaTavi: “All I can do is wish you good luck. This is so strange!”
Under the hashtag “FreeJaheira”, fans are also trying to grab YouTube’s attention to resolve the issue. Some even take it with a bit of humor:
Rubidiummoon: “I guess…congratulations on being the first BG3 actress banned on YouTube?”
SaeviWren: “I hope YouTube unblocks your video so I can please hear you say ‘Ringmuskel’ 25 times.”
Scorpio89v2: “Ironically… I can well imagine that Jaheira would definitely say/do things that would get her banned from most platforms.”
We hope that the difficulties with the YouTube channel will be resolved soon, and that we will see more from the Jaheira voice actress and her adventures in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Tracy Wiles is not the only “Baldur’s Gate 3” voice actress streaming the game. For example, Astarion voice actor Neil Newbon experienced some funny moments in the game:
On December 13, 2023, the servers of EA Sports FC 24 are currently in maintenance mode. Due to scheduled maintenance, the UT servers, as well as all other online modes, are not available at this time. EA’s customer support has already issued an official statement on this.
Update on December 13 (11:45 AM): The EA servers seem to be up and running about an hour before the announced end of the maintenance. In Ultimate Team, creating a game session is working again. Now back to the original article.
Online matches in EA FC 24 are currently disabled: If you have been trying to log into EA Sports FC 24, it is currently not possible to start online games. In Ultimate Team, you will receive the following notification:
Logging into a match is temporarily disabled. Sorry, this should be available again shortly. Please try again later.
This marks the beginning of today’s maintenance operation on December 13, during which the creation of matches has been temporarily disabled. It is likely that general access to the mode will not be available in the near future. The same applies to Clubs, Volta, and Online Seasons.
EA releases information on server status – expect several hours of maintenance.
This is what EA says: According to EA’s official statement via the “EAFC Direct Communication” channel (on X / formerly Twitter), the ongoing maintenance has been announced. EA states that the maintenance is expected to last five hours.
When will the servers be back online? According to German time, the server maintenance began at 8:00 AM and is scheduled to last until 1:00 PM.
The impact only affects the online services of EA FC 24. All offline modes remain available. You can, for example, take a look at the career mode and assemble a team from the best talents in EA FC 24 and dominate the league and world football with them.
The regular kickoff mode also remains playable, so simple matches are still possible.
This is how you can still access your Ultimate Team: You also have the option to access your club in Ultimate Team via the Companion App or the Web App. There you can adjust your lineup, collect rewards, and complete SBCs. Furthermore, you can use the transfer market to sell or acquire players for your club.
You might also use the break to improve your gameplay or practice some realistic scenarios. The new training arena offers the perfect opportunity for that this year.

Where the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic currently stands is a mystery for the community. Now Disney has commented on the remake, but fans still do not receive a proper answer.
What kind of remake is this? Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was meant to be the remake of the 2003 game of the same name. Since the announcement in 2021, the development status of the game and vague news have repeatedly raised concerns among fans that their dream of a remake might not come true.
Furthermore, the question remains whether the game will actually still exist or not. Now Sean Shoptaw, Disney’s Gaming Director, has commented on the topic. However, his response was rather unclear, providing further information about the status of development only through interpretations.
The MMORPG to Star Wars provides its players repeatedly with new content:

The Gaming Director keeps his praise for KOTOR from 2003
What does Disney’s Gaming Director say? In an interview with Axios Gaming, Sean Shoptaw stated that Disney is just getting started when it comes to bringing its top franchises together with the best game development studios in the industry.
He also said something regarding the KOTOR remake according to Axios Gaming. However, he answered questions about the future of the remake rather vaguely. All he said about the status of things was that he actually couldn’t say much.
After that, he avoided the question with a few words of praise for the original:
At this point, for hopefully obvious reasons, I can’t say much, but KOTOR is understandably an incredibly popular game that we are really proud of and for which there is still a great demand. I’ll leave it at that.
Ultimately, this is not a concrete answer to the question, but it can be suspected that the developments are not particularly advanced. At least, unless Disney and the development teams have coordinated to surprise the fans with it in the near future.
Thus, fans currently have no choice but to hope for news. If you’re also waiting for new things from the “Star Wars” universe, you could keep yourself occupied with a film that, while not part of Star Wars, is inspired by it.
From today, you can become even stronger in World of Warcraft. We will tell you how to unlock the new helmet enchantment.
Actually, there are no enchantments for helmet items in World of Warcraft Dragonflight. However, in the current season 3, that is different because you can also equip this armor slot with a powerful enchantment. This has been possible since today (December 13, 2023). We will tell you how to unlock the “Radiant Essence” and what effects it has for you.
What is the Radiant Essence? The item “Radiant Essence” is the enchantment for the helmet. However, you do not receive it from an enchanter or from the auction house, but you must earn the essence yourself.
The advantage: The Radiant Essence is not consumed upon use, allowing you to enchant your helmet repeatedly when you want to replace it with a better helmet, for example.
How do you get the Radiant Essence? To obtain the Radiant Essence, you must complete the quest “The Power of Dreams.” You receive this quest in the raid “Amirdrassil, Hope of Dreams.” The quest requires you to collect some items from bosses. Most of them are guaranteed drops, but the 50 “Echo of Ephemera” may take a while since they only drop in small quantities from the bosses. However, Blizzard has already increased the drop rates, and it has been possible to complete the quest since today.

What enchantments are there? Which enchantment is active with the Radiant Essence depends on your specialization. Depending on whether you are starting as a healer, tank, or damage dealer, the enchantment has different effects. These effects include:
Tank Enchantment: When you take damage, there is a chance to be filled with “Flaming Wrath.” Your abilities deal additional fire damage for 12 seconds, divided among nearby enemies, and you receive a shield equal to the damage dealt. The damage increases per enemy hit up to a maximum of 5.
Healer Enchantment: Your healing has a chance to apply “Thorn Barrier” to the target, absorbing a moderate amount of damage and inflicting minor nature damage to attackers. If the barrier is destroyed, the target will be healed slightly over 6 seconds. If the effect expires without destroying the barrier, the target receives a versatility bonus for 10 seconds.
Ranged Enchantment: Your spells and abilities that deal damage have a chance to summon a parliament of ghost owls that attack your target and deal fire damage, divided among all nearby targets. The damage increases per enemy hit, up to a maximum of 5.
Melee Enchantment: Your attacks have a chance to manifest a cruel blade, with different effects depending on the number of enemies. Single targets suffer shadow flame damage over time, while multiple targets receive fire damage, divided among all targets. The damage increases per enemy hit, up to a maximum of 5.
Is the Radiant Essence necessary? Basically, this can be answered with “Yes, absolutely.” In the coming days, the essence will likely be a requirement in raids and “Mythic+” content, as it represents a direct improvement to your character and is also very easy to earn.
So make the effort to pick up the essence and complete the quest so you can benefit from this enchantment in the coming months.
On December 9, Niklot “Tolkin” Stüberfinally met League of Legends world champion T1 and especially Faker at the Red Bull League of Its Own-event at the Velodrome in Berlin. MeinMMO author Fabienne Kissel was there and spoke with Tolkin.
It is the dream of many “League of Legends” professionals and streamers: to compete against the best of the best – we are talking about the Unkillable Demon King Faker and T1. The man is a living legend – the Goat.
For the German LoL player, caster, and streamer Niklot Tolkin Stüber, who officially co-streamed the Worlds 2023, this dream became reality at the Red Bull League of Its Own Event. As a huge fan, he was excited beforehand that Faker was able to secure his fourth world championship title – now he could play with his team NNO Old against world champions T1.
He wasn’t sure if it would really happen, as he reveals:
For me, it was absolutely surreal that this could happen. […] The concept was presented to me about half a year ago. In the last few months, I thought, T1 would never come here. Faker was injured on his wrist, whether the roster would stay together was questionable, whether they would even make the playoffs and be allowed to go to Worlds, all that was questionable.
And just because T1’s schedule has been very packed all year round, I had thought maybe they want a little vacation too, the guys. That they would actually do it, come here and I got to not only play against them – I also got to interview them.
There were over 7,000 people in the arena and everyone was hyped for this event. […] Absolute dream come true. […] Great from Red Bull and especially great from the fans that they made this possible. […] I am infinitely grateful for that.
Tolkin fulfilled his dream of meeting T1 and especially Faker
The opportunity not only to play against T1 but also to interview them was a highlight for Tolkin, as he emphasized. He pointed out how nervous he was and said regarding the interview with T1:
That I got to interview T1 was only clear about half a day before. And I was really up until 2 AM writing questions. […] I was super nervous, I didn’t know how to deal with it because I’m a hardcore fanboy. I am a huge, huge fan of this lineup, this team – and especially of Faker.
And I only slept for 2 hours. I was much more nervous before the interview [with T1] than before the game. […] Generally, they are extremely polite and especially very professional.
Tolkin at the Red Bull League of Its Own-event
He will soon upload his interview with T1 on his YouTube channel. We will link Tolkin’s video here later.
T1 presented Tolkin with a unique gift
After the interview with T1, Tolkin even received a very special gift from the entire team – a T1 jersey with his name on the back, which Faker and the entire team also signed.
Here you can see the moment:

The impressive emotional match NNO Old vs T1 created a real fan frenzy in the Velodrome. We wanted to know how it felt for Tolkin to play at this event and whether NNO had anticipated so many fans:
We didn’t know exactly how big it would be. It can be hard to visualize 7,000 people. The largest arena I’ve ever played E-sports in was about 4,000 people and this was almost twice that.
[…] And that so many people were cheering for us, that the entire hall was roaring – even the T1 guys turned around to us when we walked in. […] It was extremely cool to experience this feeling, almost rockstar-like. Incredible, a once-in-a-lifetime chance and it was wonderful.
During our conversation, it became clear time and again how great Tolkin’s enthusiasm for the LoL superstar is and how happy he was to fulfill his dream of meeting Faker. He emphasized how much of a fanboy he is of T1 and especially of Faker.
What Tolkin said about his dream of meeting Faker:
Super cool, […] it was definitely insane to meet Faker and then also play against him. […] I even killed him in-game. […] That was really wonderful. […] I don’t know what the next step could look like, if there is one.
Tolkin at Red Bull League of Its Own
The moment he killed Faker in-game happened at minute 24, which Tolkin also posted on X.
On the top lane against T1 Zeus: He was by far the objectively best top laner today
Tolkin picked the champion Camille in the match against T1 and Zeus picked Vayne next, a hard counter pick against Camille. He had hoped Zeus would play Aatrox as a fan of Aatrox, which is why he picked Camille. Zeus is considered one of the best Aatrox players, if not the best.
We wanted to know how it was for Tolkin to play against T1 Zeus on the top lane. He had been looking forward to this for a long time:
[…] I initially felt a bit bad because he really took me down hard. But then I saw how Wunder, Viziscacsi, Cabochard were all destroyed. BrokenBlade was also taken down by Zeus.
He was by far the objectively best top laner today. That was a bit clear from the start. […] Zeus is incredibly young, […] already a world champion and LCK champion. […] I’ve won the German championship a couple of times, but this guy is on a whole different level.
Tolkin at Red Bull League of Its Own
Zeus had to pick a top laner who has an SKT skin
Later, Tolkin reflected on the match and the entire event in his stream and explained why he was to blame for Zeus choosing Vayne:
[…] I really wanted to play Camille against Aatrox. And I realized at that point that we were playing against an SKT draft. […] But when preparing bans for Camille […], we banned Jax and Renekton.
Both Jax and Renekton are champions that have an SKT T1-skin. Tolkin mentioned in his stream: Zeus had to pick a top laner with an SKT skin – in this case, Vayne. Because all T1 players chose a champion with an SKT skin. Faker, who rarely plays with skins, chose the T1 Azir skin from player Easyhoon.
He emphasized that Vayne is a hard counter to Camille, but Zeus had no other choice. So one has to say that it’s one’s own fault, it could have been thought of.

In Tolkin’s interview with T1, he asked the top laner Zeus for tips for the Aatrox matchup, as he revealed to us. Zeus’ reaction when he realized he would play against Tolkin the next day was, in Tolkin’s words: Hä, I’m not giving you any tips, I want to win – which Tolkin found funny and incredibly likable about Zeus.
Fun fact on the side: Zeus watched Tolkin’s YouTube channel right before the match on stage, as Tolkin shared on X.
At the end of our interview, we asked Tolkin if he wanted to say anything to the community. These are his words to you:
I just want to thank everyone again, because yes, the path of the pro player didn’t allow me to play against Faker – but as a content creator, it did. And that’s only because of the people who were here, who were hyped.
That’s why Red Bull also invited us. You could feel that in the arena, it was so much fun – people also followed us absolutely great at home. The way this passion for e-sports has been shared with everyone and also given back is just something to be infinitely grateful for. Only thanks to the people who are hyped at home, who are hyped here, does it all work.

In Pokémon GO the event “Hard Times” is running with a strong XP bonus. A great opportunity to level up quickly.
What’s happening in Pokémon GO? Currently, the event “Hard Times” is taking place, which revolves around Kanto Pokémon, but also brings some rewards in limited-time researches for the topic “high levels”.
These are:
“Reach Level 10”: For this, you get 1,000 Stardust and 10 Himmih-, 10 Sanana- and 10 Nanab berries
“Reach Level 20”: Here you get 2,000 Stardust and a Potion
“Reach Level 30”: 3,000 Stardust and a Premium Battle Pass as a reward
Those who have already reached these levels can easily collect the rewards. And those who are just about to reach these levels should use the upcoming days, as there is a strong bonus on catch XP.

How to get a lot of XP when catching to level up quickly
What kind of bonus is that? You get triple XP when catching. This bonus lasts until the end of “Hard Times” on Friday, December 15th at 8:00 PM.
How to make the most of it: If you’re looking for a lot of XP, you should make the most of your Pokémon GO walks during this event: Catch as many Pokémon as possible and make sure to ideally achieve “great” throws.
Great throws usually already bring a bonus of 1,000 XP per throw, so 3,000 during the event. If you then activate a Lucky Egg, you can achieve 6,000 XP alone from the “great” bonus plus the other catch bonuses. This way, you can quickly get around 7,000 XP per catch if you succeed.
With great throws you currently get a lot of XP
So proceed as follows when you are on an XP hunt:
Optionally activate a “Smoke” to get more Pokémon spawns. The daily adventure smoke also works when you are on the go.
Activate a Lucky Egg if you have one to receive double XP
Now catch as many Pokémon as possible “great” to get the XP
Tip 1: Using the “catch trick”, you can catch Pokémon faster, but you run the risk of making the great throw harder
Make sure you have enough space in your box and enough balls with you when you head out.
About great throws: It is worth prioritizing Pokémon with a large catch circle that are easy to catch great. Currently, Ponita is a good option for this.
But generally, you should try it now with every Pokémon, as the reward is so great that you can compensate for several “missed” throws with just one great throw. Additionally, with practice, you’ll hit great throws more often.
If the Pokémon move too much for you, you should resort to Nanab berries – then they will stand still.
This is what you should report regarding friendships: Currently, there is no special bonus for friendships, but they are generally one of the best ways to accumulate XP together. If you add friends and continually interact with them, it gives you a substantial XP increase.
For the following friend levels, you receive this XP:
New Friend: 1,000 XP
Good Friends: 3,000 XP
Super Friends: 10,000 XP
Hyper Friends: 50,000 XP
Best Friends: 100,000 XP
If you currently have friends with whom you are about to reach the next friendship level, you should see if you can time it together with the use of a Lucky Egg to also receive double XP here.
A group of players has founded a corporation in EVE Online with an unusual leader. They call themselves the first AI-controlled player company in the space MMORPG.
A coalition of players in EVE Online remains completely unimpressed by such negative experiences. They place the fate of their corporation in the space MMORPG in the hands of ChatGPT. They believe this brings many advantages. However, a residual risk remains, just as in real life, when using AI.

ChatGPT as a Leader in EVE Online
What kind of company was founded in EVE Online? The organization Neural Nexus is a new coalition of players in EVE Online. They aim to let the AI ChatGPT decide on as many activities in the game as possible.
At the same time, they want to use their resulting unique selling proposition in the space MMORPG to recruit additional members.
Does ChatGPT as a decision-maker have the final say? No, certain rules and guidelines provide the AI with a rough framework. In their codex, the founding members have written down some points that grant the human CEO of the player company more rights than the AI in case of doubt.
Thus, all matters outside of EVE Online are handled by the human managing director. Additionally, the CEO has the possibility to withdraw the AI’s responsibility for certain topics. Direct interaction with ChatGPT is also precisely defined. This way, decisions by the AI should always be made with regard to the principles laid out in the codex.
How does the collaboration between humans and machines work? Daily decisions are made by the members based on their own activities in the game. Consulting with the AI is also possible.
In so-called leadership activities, the leading council members independently make decisions in the interest of the AI. Here too, involving ChatGPT at any time is desirable. Very important decisions are coordinated monthly between leaders and the AI chief.
However, questionable decisions by ChatGPT should be scrutinized. The codex states, ‘Although AI is a powerful tool, members should remember that it is not infallible. Members should use their judgment when following the AI’s advice and consider the context of the game as well as the specific situation.’
Which tasks have already been taken over by AI? In the area of member applications, AI has already become an indispensable part of the application process. A mix of questions from leadership players and ChatGPT are supposed to assess the potential of a possible new member.
After a two-week trial period for a candidate, the AI is questioned again. Based on additional information from this period, ChatGPT then decides on an acceptance or rejection for the applicant.
Other tasks of the AI include the creation of the company’s logo and drafting a welcome message for newcomers. Naming spaceships is also part of their activities.
What do you think? Would you place the leadership of your game clan in the hands of artificial intelligence?
