MontanaBlack believes he is not adequately represented in the latest video by “Satter Hugo” because only negative clips are shown.
Who is “Satter Hugo”?
Satter Hugo is a YouTube channel where compilations from the German Twitch scene are uploaded. These are mostly accompanied by music, special effects, or funny audio recordings.
While the videos on “Hungriger Hugo” tell a story based on the edited clips, the videos on “Satter Hugo” typically lack a narrative thread.
Why does MontanaBlack feel unfairly treated? MontanaBlack, civilly Marcel Eris, reacted to the currently latest video from “Satter Hugo” titled “You Are All Bots” (via YouTube).
Right at the beginning of the video, MontanaBlack expresses the suspicion: “I’ll say it like it is, the editor of Satter Hugo has a problem with me. Otherwise, I can’t explain it” (via YouTube).

MontanaBlack is one of the most well-known streamers in Germany – This was his very first video
The first seconds of the video show the streamers Trymacs and Knossi speaking Turkish, but a clip of MontanaBlack speaking Turkish was not included. When an older clip of the streamer followed later in the compilation, in which his tight pants tear, he is sure:
“So no shit, the editor of Satter Hugo has something against me. He doesn’t include the best Turkish clip with my voice, but includes the old clip for which I received a shitstorm. I’m going to have a serious talk with the real Hugo now.”
Throughout the video, there are further scenes where MontanaBlack feels unfairly treated. The absence of the Turkish clip combined with the clips shown by him – such as the statement that he occasionally urinates in other people’s sinks – does not sit well with the streamer at all.
At one point, MontanaBlack even grabs his smartphone and calls Hugo during the livestream, but he does not answer. It then ended with a “Okay screw it, it was the last Hugo video. […] Consequences will be initiated.”
But MontanaBlack is not only dissatisfied with the editing by “Satter Hugo”, he also heavily criticized the “VideoDays Awards” at the beginning of October:
Baldur’s Gate 3 is considered a masterpiece among gamers. However, there are a few bugs, although generally quite few, which are usually fixed quickly. Recently, a player found a bug so specific that others joke: It is now named after him.
On Reddit, user palomAstra reported that he encountered a bug just before the fight against Ketheric Thorm in Act 2.
Actually, the group is supposed to follow Thorm into a mind flayer colony after a battle. However, Shadowheart stayed behind with him, the entrance was sealed, and she had to remain outside.
The player faced the boss battle with 3 characters but ultimately died. He used Shadowheart to resurrect the group, but in the process, an important item was lost.
This is why the player cannot finish Baldur’s Gate 3: After the fight against Thorm, you will actually receive one of the three netherstones that you need to control the Elder Brain at the end of the game.
In palomAstra’s case, however, there was no Game Over scene; the user never received the stone. He just kept playing for 100 hours. Only at the end could he not use the crown to control the brain. The ending was locked.

“An ultra-rare YES to the question of whether you are the only one”
With his problem, the player turned to the community and received quite a bit of dry mockery in response. This is probably mainly because he played for 100 hours instead of just reloading. Now, he claims, the save file is lost.
Other users are eagerly handing out jibes. This is the definition of a “you problem”; definitely no one else would have this problem, which could even be named after him now. Missing the stone is on par with Karsus’ folly.
palomAstra himself says he certainly deserved the barrage of mockery; it was indeed his own stupidity. However, there are also people who empathize and say: clearly, the devs have overlooked something here. Such a serious bug should not be in the game.
In search of a solution, palomAstra, however, receives a few suggestions on how he could still finish the game. He would just need to have Gale with him; then he could at least trigger a regular “Game Over”:
Before BlizzCon, Diablo 4 will receive a new patch. It includes a ton of bug fixes for Season 2 and a few new features – including a reset button for the Paragon boards. The community is responding positively, but there’s also some backlash.
Highlights of the patch:
Blizzard is introducing a button that lets you reset all points in your Paragon boards at once. Currently, this can only be done individually.
What’s still in the patch: There are several adjustments for the features from Season 2, especially the new vampire powers for all players. It will be easier to enhance and improve the powers.
You will receive more powerful blood from blood wells and can see in advance how a pact improves when you increase its level. You can find the best vampire powers in Season 2 in our Tier list.
Furthermore, the zones for whispers, where you must kill certain enemies, will be smaller. Blizzard will also fix dozens of bugs, although this isn’t well received by all players.

“They pick the one that makes hell floods even worse”
With the new patch 1.2.1, two bugs related to hell floods are addressed:
due to a bug, embers were not reset after the end of a hell flood
both bugs will be fixed with the patch
The community is not reacting positively to these changes for several reasons. Hell floods are still important for obtaining certain materials, including for essential item upgrades and the summoning of Uber Duriel.
However, since hell floods remain time-limited and are not permanently accessible, many players find it hard to farm enough materials, especially when they do not always have time.
On Reddit, many users are expressing their frustration over these bug fixes. Especially because, hell floods can themselves be bugged and grant little embers. The main criticism is that the new blood harvests demonstrate how it can be done better.
The blood harvests are the new feature in Season 2 and the best farm spot for everything in the game. They are permanently active, have an enormous mob density, and you don’t lose the blood bait when the event ends in one place and starts in another.
Players argue: hell floods should work the same way. That would be much more fun, and you wouldn’t have to hope to randomly find one after work. Especially the loot explosions in the blood harvests receive high praise:
Steve Jobs was convinced that Apple could compete in the game console market. To realize this, he entered into a partnership that Sony did not like at all.
Apple’s product launches were a special event every time thanks to Steve Jobs. He knew how to excite the people around him. At an appearance in January 1999, it was no different.
He spoke about the Sony PlayStation and called it the best game console in the world. But what no one expected were his ambitions to want to deliver an even better console with Apple itself.
For $49, you can turn your Mac into a Sony PlayStation
How should Apple systems become a game console? At the Macworld Expo in 1999, the former Apple CEO took the stage to announce something great. During his appearance, Jobs said he wanted to deliver nothing less than the best game console in the world. By the way, Apple does not deviate from this approach today and says: The iPhone 15 Pro should be ‘the best game console,’ but does not want to compete with the PS5 and Xbox.
However, there was no new development of the popular Apple Mac series for his project at that time. The first iPhone was also many years away from production. Instead, Steve Jobs introduced a special software that was supposed to shake up the console market in collaboration with developer Aaron Giles from Connectix.
With full conviction, he stated: For $49, you can turn your Mac into a Sony PlayStation. Together with Phil Schiller from Apple’s management team, the “Virtual Game Station” emulator was presented.
What could the program do? The “Virtual Game Station” emulator was installed on an iMac-G3 system and thus emulated the hardware of the Sony PlayStation. This made it possible to play console titles on the Apple device.
The iMac-G3 already had a compatible CD drive for the PlayStation game discs. Only a suitable controller with a USB connection needed to be purchased additionally. During his presentation, Jobs talked about hundreds of games that were compatible with the emulator.
Although the presentation was only a preview, several hundred copies could already be sold at the Macworld Expo. The product seemed at first glance to be a complete success.
How did Sony react to the “Virtual Game Station” emulator? The Japanese console manufacturer was far from pleased with Steve Jobs’ plan. Sony had already been informed about the upcoming release before the public appearance.
They aimed for a licensing agreement and wanted to obtain Sony’s approval for further development. The PlayStation developer felt that his strong market position was threatened at this moment. This resulted in a cease and desist letter.
Sony wanted to prevent the use of its own code for the development of the emulator. However, Aaron Giles managed to rewrite the program code in the emulator. Thus, the “Virtual Game Station” emulator could be presented as planned at the Macworld Expo 1999.
Was the legal dispute over? No, Sony then really got started and filed another lawsuit. Developer Connectix emerged victorious from the case. But a temporary injunction prevented the further sale of the software in the meantime.
In the end, both parties reached an agreement. The program code was transferred to Sony. This abruptly ended Steve Jobs’ ambitions. At the same time, public interest in the first PlayStation decreased, as did the demand for emulators. With the new console generation in the form of the PlayStation 2 on the horizon, the chapter was ultimately closed definitively.
This was not the first attempt by Apple to make a mark in the console market:
In the summer of 2020, Twitch permanently banned the live streamer DrDisrespect from the platform, after he had signed an exclusive multi-million dollar contract just months earlier. To this day, the ban remains the biggest mystery surrounding Twitch. A new statement from Twitch CEO Dan Clancy in October 2023 strengthens a coherent theory as to why DrDisrespect was banned.
There was no obvious reason for the ban: No misconduct on camera or any other serious offense that could explain the ban. To this day, neither Twitch nor the streamer have revealed the reason for the ban. DrDisrespect suggested in October 2020 that he was banned because Twitch wanted to save “his big salary.”
However, DrDisrespect has repeatedly stated how hard the ban hit him and how much money, industry contacts and opportunities to strengthen his brand he lost due to the ban.

DrDisrespect was a celebrity on Twitch – His ban remains a big mystery to this day
CEO says: For a long time, Twitch kept up financially with offers to streamers
This is the new statement from the Twitch CEO: In an interview with Bloomberg on the sidelines of TwitchCon 2023, the new Twitch CEO Dan Clancy explained that for a long time, Twitch tried to keep up financially with offers from other platforms to streamers.
Since 2022, they have been doing less and will now significantly reduce the big deals again, as such a bidding war for top streamers may not be an economically viable model.
DrDisrespect may have negotiated more money from Twitch with an offer from Mixer
What does this have to do with DrDisrespect? A theory about the ban of DrDisrespect comes from lawyer Richard Hoeg. He proposed the following theory: the ban of DrDisrespect should be seen more as a termination of contract on Twitch’s part.
In 2021, a rumor circulated, spread by an employee at Call of Duty, that was relatively similar to Richard Hoeg’s theory. However, one detail changed:
In 2019, the platform Microsoft poached the two star streamers shroud and Ninja from Twitch
DrDisrespect might have used this circumstance to explain to Twitch that he also had a high offer from Mixer. According to the 2021 rumor, however, this offer was false.
If Twitch, as Clancy says, is “keeping up with offers from other platforms,” it explains why DrDisrespect received such a lucrative exclusive contract in March 2020. His market value had significantly increased due to the sudden competition from Mixer.
But when Mixer shut down in June 2020, DrDisrespect’s market value plummeted again. As a kind of “contract termination,” Twitch permanently banned the streamer just a few days after Microsoft announced the end of Mixer, thus terminating the contract.
It was said that Twitch was disappointed that DrDisrespect had been dishonest with them, as they had built him up to be a star on the platform.
In 2018, they were the shooter stars of Twitch. Ninja, DrDisrespect, and shroud.
This question remains open: The question is whether DrDisrespect really had a high offer from Mixer in March 2020 that Twitch wanted to match – or whether DrDisrespect was bluffing.
It seems unlikely that Microsoft would acquire another expensive star in March if they were already closing the Mixer service just a few months later.
If DrDisrespect “bluffed” here and deceived Twitch with a competing offer that did not exist, his ban might be more “understandable” in some form. It also explains why DrDisrespect has no interest in detailing what happened back then.
Clancy’s statement that they were still trying to keep up with offers from rival platforms until 2022 is, in any case, an indication that the ban of DrDisrespect could indeed have something to do with his contract and financial aspects.
We elaborate on the theory of the “false offer to Mixer” here:

When does FUT Centurions start? A new loading screen in FC 24 revealed the start date of the new event. It starts on October 27 at 7:00 PM in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team, burying any hope for a recurring Ultimate Scream event.
What is the event about? Since the Centurions event already took place last year and it was about all kinds of records revolving around the number 100, one could assume that it will be similar in FC 24.
In the last Centurions event, players were celebrated and equipped with special cards that had 100+ goals, 100+ assists, or 100+ clean sheets. Whether this will be the case this year is not yet known.

For weeks, there has been a controversy surrounding the biggest reaction YouTuber SSSniperwolf (31). Many creators in the USA called for her ban, and even the German YouTuber Rezo addressed her in a video, ultimately leading to her YouTube monetization being cut off.
Who is the YouTuber?
The 31-year-old SSSniperwolf is a reaction YouTuber. She primarily watches TikTok videos and reacts to them.
She has 34 million subscribers on YouTube, and her videos regularly reach over 1 million views.
However, she is now embroiled in a controversy from which she cannot escape. She has been accused of using her reach to intimidate critics.
German Twitch streamers do not quite reach these view numbers:

Why is she in trouble? The YouTuber has been sharply criticized by a colleague for several weeks now: The YouTuber jacksfilms accused her of not really reacting to videos but engaging in “content theft”: uploading foreign videos while providing too little original content in her reactions to offer “transformative content.”
She initially reacted to this criticism with rejection: She said the guy was obsessed with her, his entire content revolved around her, and he made money by criticizing her. She felt harassed by him.
Ultimately, however, she took action in a way that the critic and many in the public perceived as “harassment”: She showed up in front of her critic’s house, called him out for a conversation, and live-streamed it on Instagram to her 6 million followers.
An example of SSSniperWolf’s content.
What was YouTube’s reaction? Half of the YouTube celebrities in the USA have confronted SSSniperwolf, criticizing her behavior (via youtube) and calling on the platform YouTube to intervene.
She violated the unwritten law of “bringing the internet into the real world” by showing up at the YouTuber’s house, was the general accusation. Her behavior was regarded as “doxxing.”
The case escalated to such an extent that even the notorious CDU destroyer Rezo discussed it in a video in German that has since garnered over 330,000 views. In the video, Rezo explains that the YouTuber had always been known for her inability to handle criticism, and the behavior that is now so dramatic has long been evident.

SSSniperwolf responded by simply posting her videos on a secondary channel, but here too, YouTube took action and announced that all her channels had been demonetized due to doxxing.
She had violated the guidelines for responsible behavior by creators by endangering the personal safety of others.

In Diablo 4 there is a type of item that is highly sought after by players – the Uber-Uniques. They are powerful, but also extremely rare. So rare that players could hardly find them – until now. With Season 2, that has changed for the benefit of the community.
What was the problem with the Uber-Uniques? At the release of Diablo 4 and its first season, many struggled with the same problem: the RNG, as they were all looking for the Uber-Uniques.
However, with Season 2, the luckless players have turned the tide, as fans can now farm Uniques intentionally with a special boss. An expert has undertaken a large test and shows how high your chances are, even if you shouldn’t play every day.
Did you miss the trailer for Season 2? Then we show you the matching video:

Diablo 4 presents new Season 2, coming this fall – Blood & Vampires
What did Rob find out? According to him, he cannot exactly say how the system calculates the drops and whether there is a specific pattern, as RNG is involved. However, the fact is that his 540 attempts yielded him 10 Uber-Uniques. With Excel, he then calculated a percentage of 2% at which the chance of getting an Uber-Unique from Duriel lies.
So it is relatively low compared to the other drop rates of items, but still noticeably higher than at the release of Diablo 4.
That was all the information regarding the Uber-Uniques and their drops. Have you already got one, and if so, which? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
Sony has released a new update for the PS5. This includes user-friendly features for those who also like to listen to music while playing. Fans of PSVR2 titles have also been considered.
At regular intervals, Sony delivers new updates for the PS5 consoles. These are mainly for system maintenance. Too often it simply states: “We have improved the performance and stability of the system software,” and “We have improved the messaging and usability on some screens.”
Check out the video of the new slim model of the PS5
Improvements in music playback and new option when playing with the PlayStation VR2 headset
What features are included in the new system software? Sony has added helpful changes to the PS5 console with the update 23.02-08.20.00. In the Control Center, you can now search your music categories, playlists, and songs much more user-friendly thanks to a new two-column layout.
For players with a PSVR2 headset, a setting has been added that gives you more options for image display on the TV. You can now freely decide whether the passthrough image from the camera should be displayed on your TV or not.
With the passthrough image, you can quickly switch between normal gameplay and a transparent view. This saves you from having to take off the PSVR2 headset every time you want to quickly drink or eat.
What else is there? In addition to these two features, a new voice command has been integrated. With the command “News”, you can search for new PS5 features. However, this feature is only available in English. Currently, it is only accessible to player accounts from the USA and the United Kingdom. When the restriction will be lifted for other regions remains unclear.
When will the update come? Update 8.20 is already available for PS5 and can be downloaded by you. After installation and a restart, the new features will be available to you.
What is the download file size? Sony states a download size of about 1.19 GB. Therefore, gamers with slower internet shouldn’t have to wait too long for the download to complete.
Music in the Control Center is now much more user-friendly. Thanks to the two-column layout, you can easily browse different categories, playlists, and songs.
You can prevent accidentally transmitting your surroundings while streaming games with your PlayStation VR2.
Go to Settings > Accessories > PlayStation VR2 and enable block passthrough view on the TV to prevent the passthrough image from the camera from being displayed on your TV while using your PS VR2.
If you say “News” via voice command on a screen, you can now search for new PS5 features.
The voice command (preview) is currently only available in English for players with PlayStation Network accounts in the USA and the United Kingdom.

In League of Legends, the main round of the 2023 World Championship is currently taking place, and as in recent years, the teams from South Korea and China dominate the LoL Worlds. Meanwhile, the third US team, Cloud9, has been eliminated. This prompts streamer and crypto millionaire Tyler “Trainwreck” Nignam to intervene, as he cannot tolerate this situation in LoL.
Which team has been eliminated?
Cloud9 was affected: The roster featured a bot lane consisting of experienced Dane Zven and talented South Korean Berserker, but they achieved little at the Worlds 2023.
Cloud9 secured only a single victory against the dismal Europeans from MAD Lions; otherwise, they lost 3 matches, most recently against Fnatic with a score of 1-2.
Thus, Cloud9 is the 3rd US team to be eliminated. Previously, the Golden Guardians and Team Liquid were already eliminated, both of which particularly embarrassed themselves. Team NRG is the last hope for the USA, but the chances there are rather bleak as well.

Crypto Millionaire Rants Against Mommy’s Boys and Participation Certificates
What Trainwreck says: He is ranting on Twitter about Cloud9. They have a “mommy’s boy” mentality. This is all false optimism, a “participation certificate” attitude:
Until our players live, eat, and breathe League, we will not get anywhere.
According to Trainwreck, they are complacent, and the defeats do not concern anyone. They do not want to win: They need “hungry demons” to win and nothing else.
Is he right? No, that is quite the pub talk, as if one could compensate for everything through attitude and hard work. You cannot force victory in LoL through sheer will.
Whether you win or lose largely depends on the individual skill of the players, tactical decisions, and the correct “read” on the meta.
The defeat against Fnatic in a relatively close match surely hurts, as they are somewhat on par with Cloud9, but against the teams from Asia, Cloud9 had hardly any realistic chances of winning anyway.
Actually, Cloud9 performed exactly as one could expect before the tournament: No one had expected them to suddenly take out Faker and T1. But apparently, Trainwreck sees this as a lack of will to win.
This is what people are discussing: On Twitter, people joke about whether Trainwreck, known for his sports betting habits, might have placed a bet on the game.
Some take Trainwreck seriously and hope that the crypto millionaire will find the heart to buy a US team and invest a lot of money.

What’s behind it: From a German perspective, Trainwreck’s statement recalls the recent debate in Germany about abolishing winner certificates in federal youth competitions. The discussion was then seen as a symbol that Germany lacks “bite” and that more competition and fight are needed.
More generally, the statement also recalls discussions among soccer fans when their team performs poorly. But in LoL, you can’t just “kick someone off the field” to improve your chances of winning.
The e-sports player s1mple is one of the most successful players in the history of Counter-Strike. Now he is taking a break and considering putting the AWP aside.
Who is it about?
Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyljev has been active for Natus Vincere (NaVi) since 2016 and is considered one of the best Counter-Strike players of all time. He was awarded the best player title in 2018, 2021, and 2022.
The 26-year-old Ukrainian won several prestigious tournaments with NaVi, including the Intel Grand Slam in September 2021 and the PGL Major in Stockholm a few months later.
Before his time at NaVi, s1mple played for HellRaisers, FlipSid3 Tactics, and Team Liquid.
On the evening of October 26, 2023, s1mple announced on Twitter that he would take a break – he had been planning this for some time. He needed to fix documents and take care of people in his life (via Twitter).
Furthermore, the Ukrainian wrote that he never thought about leaving NaVi and changing organizations, but is interested in looking at offers.

s1mple is considering putting the AWP aside
Will s1mple switch weapons? In his post on Twitter, s1mple not only stated that he is open to offers from other teams. He also considered switching to a “Rifle” in the future.
s1mple is primarily known as an AWP player and has performed this role for NaVi excellently for years. The Rifles refer mainly to the AK47 and the M4A1-s/M4A4 – fully automatic assault rifles.
Why does s1mple want to switch weapons? s1mple did not specify an exact reason. In his post on Twitter, the celebrated professional simply wrote that the AWP in the new game does not feel as “impactful” as in CS:GO.
Some players feel that playing the AWP in CS2 is frustrating. One of the biggest problems is the so-called “Peekers-Advantage,” which makes holding an angle generally much more difficult than in CS:GO (via Reddit).
What is Peekers-Advantage? Peekers-Advantage means that the player who is peeking out of cover into the gunfight has the advantage, while the player holding an angle is at a disadvantage. So if you’re aiming down a corridor and your opponent suddenly runs in from the side, then they have the advantage over you.
Peekers-Advantage can have various reasons. In the case of CS2, for example, one player writes: “Most people believe it’s due to poor interpolation settings or a subtick. But we don’t know for sure (via Reddit).”
Whether Peekers-Advantage plays a role in s1mple’s consideration to switch weapons is unknown. But in the CS2 community, it is indeed a factor that is discussed when playing the AWP.
Whether s1mple will actually replace the AWP with an assault rifle after his break remains to be seen. Currently, the Ukrainian is generally not very satisfied with the state of the CS:GO successor. Just recently, s1mple harshly criticized the tactical shooter and said you shouldn’t play CS2 right now.
Manor Lords is a new strategy and building game on Steam, which is set to be released next year, but already excites fans of this genre. Why you can see in the latest trailer here on MeinMMO.
What kind of game is this? Manor Lords is set in a medieval setting and lets you, as a lord, expand your home village into a bustling city.
It is a strategy and city-building simulation game, originally developed by a single developer, and is set to be released on April 26, 2024.
You can play the game through Steam or the PC Game Pass.
Nevertheless, the game is already regarded as quite a hope for all fans of the genre. This is already evident from the current trailer:

Manor Lord Release Date Trailer
What to expect: As seen in the trailer, Manor Lords aims not only to impress with beautiful graphics but also with interesting gameplay mechanics.
Already the graphics seem to convince many players. User timonenluca4live, for example, writes in his comment via YouTube, that Manor Lords is one of the medieval games with the best details and it is an honor for him to be able to play the game.
Particularly interesting and different from other games are perhaps the following two points:
Organic city building: In Manor Lords, you are not bound to a predetermined grid when building your city. Instead, the game promises you absolute placement and movement freedom. You can also see how this looks in the trailer.
Third-person perspective: You get the opportunity to experience your city not just as an observer looking from above. Instead, you can experience your city from the perspective of its residents. This offers Manor Lords an experience that many similar games lack.
Especially fans of city-building simulations seem to be looking forward to these two mechanics. For example, reddit user wreckage88 writes that Manor Lords could land in the top 3 of his building games with this feature. (via reddit)
This has been my most hyped game for a long time. I played the demo during the Next Fest and couldn’t put it down despite limited content. And the feature of being able to walk the streets in 3rd-person perspective is definitely the best feature of all city-building games and is sorely missing in so many representatives of the genre. Let me build my cities and stand in awe of their majesty from the ground, damn it! This may end up in my top 3 builders alongside Anno 1800 and Frostpunk.
The quote is from Reddit and is translated with Google-Translator
In addition to these two mechanics, you can of course also look forward to classic mechanics such as resource management.
In addition, you also have to deal with strategic warfare. Because your city is not always a safe place. If you are attacked, your residents should be prepared.
Because every loss is final and your men are not just replaceable, but beloved inhabitants of your homeland.

The Twitch streamer LetsHugo (20) was a guest on the podcast “Henke’s Corner” and talked about his career, his health, and criticism of his content. In between, he revealed what his view of the 20th century is.
What kind of interview was that? The conversation took place as part of the podcast “Henke’s Corner.” The host invites guests from the Twitch and YouTube scene to take a seat in his camping chairs and have a chat “eye to eye” (via funk).
Recently, the format has been a part of funk, the content network of ARD and ZDF. For the kickoff of this new era of his podcast, Henke picked none other than the Luxembourg Twitch streamer “LetsHugo.”
His fans love the 20-year-old for his scatterbrained nature. However, with one statement, he completely threw the usually cool host off balance.

A Knight of the 20th Century
What kind of statement was that? The conversation mostly goes quite normally: Henke and LetsHugo chat about the beginnings on YouTube and trends on Twitch. During this, they share a few jokes while Henke casually lounged in his camping chair with sunglasses on.
However, that changed when the two content creators started talking about their age difference. Henke is 27, meaning that for the 7 years younger Twitch streamer, he comes from a different time.
When he explains to LetsHugo that he was 8 years old in 2004, LetsHugo is shocked: “You were born in nineteen hundred!” For him, anyone whose birth year starts with a 19 is practically a knight, said the 20-year-old. The “switch,” continues LetsHugo, with color television and the internet, only entered his life in 2000.
Here, Henke has to take off his sunglasses to wipe away a few tears of laughter. But with his next statement, LetsHugo adds another layer: “I can’t imagine that there were cars back in 1990.”
The knightly era, it was for the 20-year-old “so nineteen hundred.” In fact, the heyday of knights ended as early as the 14th and 15th centuries.
Henke, who seems about to tip over from laughter, has to collect himself and take a proper sip of water before he can continue the interview. You can check out the entire podcast here, starting from 38:32, you can really feel old:

What else was discussed? Aside from the emotional damage that anyone over 23 likely experienced, several interesting topics were discussed. LetsHugo explained that he started with YouTube at the age of 11 (that was in 2014) – that’s completely normal in the Minecraft scene.
The Twitch streamer also addresses the criticism of his reaction content and explains that he is no longer interested in subathons. These marathon streams made him famous, but currently, everyone is doing that.
Additionally, LetsHugo briefly talks about his Twitch ban, which had just occurred during the recording of the podcast. Since he was at a Minecraft event in Cologne at the time, some viewers speculated that he might have cheated. However, there was something else behind it:
In Destiny 2, there is a problem that has plagued many Guardians for six years – the shader preview. This is often unreliable and cannot accurately represent how the coloring on gear and weapons actually looks in the end. However, this problem will soon be a thing of the past, according to Bungie’s latest announcement.
So the change was revealed: Bungie recently promised to interact more with the community, and this promise is now being fulfilled more and more.
First, the former community manager of Destiny 2, dmg04 aka Dylan Gaffner, was streaming with his Guardian and cleared his vault together with Datto.
Then, among others, game director Joe Blackburn joined the stream and participated in Datto’s entertaining “Shader Game”.
In this casual game, Joe Blackburn also unveiled the exciting change for all fashion-conscious Guardians, which will soon allow players to customize their gear and weapons exactly as they envision, without having to keep experimenting and guessing.
Next year, the new DLC for Destiny 2 The Final Shape will be released:

Shader improvement should finally ensure color clarity
A problem for 6 years: The unreliability of the shader preview in Destiny 2 has long been one of the most frustrating issues. Especially for fashion-conscious Guardians, who currently have 414 shaders available in Destiny 2.
Players often struggled to choose the right colors for their armor.
Out of a total of six possible colors, only four are currently displayed in the shader preview.
So, those who only look at the small shader preview often did not realize that it was misleading. This led to often disappointments and endless experiments to achieve the desired look. But thanks to the small revelation from Joe Blackburn, this could soon be a thing of the past.
Destiny 2 currently has 414 shaders for customizing characters, weapons, and more.
Joe Blackburn explained to the viewers in the stream:
This is only a very small reveal […] but we have revamped the icons of the shaders for “The Final Shape.” There will be a completely new section in each shader icon that better describes the shaded color ranges. All six colors are represented. The colors are arranged differently in the new icons. You still need to know how armor looks to really evaluate it, but the highlighted areas take up a larger part of the shader, and all hidden colors are represented on the shader icon.
These changes could thus not only be a simple bug fix but also finally bring more transparency to the shader system of Destiny 2 after six years by allowing colors to be displayed more accurately and thus more user-friendly.
Moreover, players are happy that after Bungie’s withdrawal due to insults and hateful messages against employees, such a relaxed and informal exchange with Bungie through the game director is possible again.
Thus, the player HellChicken949 wrote on Reddit about the stream: “Joe, who actually interacts with the community, is probably the best thing he could have done, and I sincerely hope he is not harassed, because this opportunity to communicate directly with the game director is really something good.”
When will the change come to the game? Players will have to wait a little longer. The next DLC, with which this change will go live, will not be released until February 27, 2024.
What are your thoughts on the long-awaited shader improvements in Destiny 2? And how do you see the significance of direct communication between the game director and the community? Do you think this is a good possibility or do you believe it won’t last long? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments.
Only a month after the official release of EA FC 24, a player has already assembled the ultimate team. For his Full Icon Squad worth almost 50 million coins, the player invested €45,000.
What does the team look like? The coin millionaire’s team consists only of the best and most expensive cards in the game. In his starting lineup are exclusively players with an overall rating of at least 90. Strong players like Messi or Mbappé, as well as other expensive icons, are sitting on the bench.
Let’s take a look at the dream team that has been made available to a successful Spanish streamer.
This is what the most expensive ultimate team squad in EA FC 24 looks like
Which players are exactly in the team? The 18 players in the starting eleven and on the bench cost a total of around 48 million coins.
The team is arranged in a 4-2-4 formation and is set up as follows:
The starting lineup has a value of 34.5 million. The substitutes come at a proud price of 13 million.
Who is the most expensive player? The most valuable player is undoubtedly the icon card of Brazilian striker Ronaldo. “El Fenomeno” costs more than 8.5 million coins on the transfer market. Generally, the most expensive team in EA FC 24 is dominated by many Brazilians. Six are in the starting eleven.
On the bench, incidentally, sits a player with the Trailblazers card of Kylian Mbappé, who costs just under 5 million coins.
Who is the cheapest player? The cheapest card is the Russian legend goalkeeper Lev Yashin. He costs around 525,000 coins on the transfer market. Some cards, like the Road-to-the-Knockouts card of Ousmane Dembélé, who also falls among the cheaper players, are just below a million coins.
The dynamic card of the Frenchman can also reach an overall rating of 91 and thus increase in price again. Follow our RTKK tracker to not miss any upgrades.
Interesting: A woman has also made it into the team. The American icon Mia Hamm is part of the strongest team in EA FC 24.
Further down, you’ll read who this team belongs to and how such a legends team can be played.
Player invests €45,000 in FC Points, streamer benefits
Who owns the team? A subscriber of the successful Spanish FIFA streamer DjMaRiiO invested the absurd sum of €45,000 in FC Points to be able to build this team. The YouTuber had the pleasure of playing this lavish ultimate team squad.
He played two games in the Weekend League, winning the first game clearly, but had significantly greater problems in the second game to beat his opponent. You can see the highlights in this YouTube video.
DjMaRiiO noted in this context that it is, of course, easier to win with such a team. However, he pointed out that the game can be unpredictable at times and that opposing teams would become stronger over time.
We would like to mention at this point that such a team is the absolute exception and very unrealistic to achieve. You can also obtain very strong cards by investing mere game time and don’t have to invest real money in EA FC 24.
Naoki Yoshida, the Director and Producer of Final Fantasy XIV, is not only a developer but also a passionate video game enthusiast. During the European Fan Festival in London, he spoke about his plans for the MMORPG.
What happened? On the weekend of October 21 and 22, 2023, Square Enix hosted the “Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival” in London. There, Naoki Yoshida, the Director and Producer of the game, shared new information about the upcoming expansion Dawntrail.
In addition, the lead developer participated in various panels about the game and actively interacted with players on-site. However, a particular highlight was the interviews and gaming sessions with the Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi.
By the way, we were there for you and brought back some impressions:

“This would destroy the community” – Naoki Yoshida in an interview
On the Saturday evening of the Fan Festival, Naoki Yoshida specifically answered questions from the press representatives on-site. He spoke about Dawntrail, as well as additional plans for the future development of Final Fantasy XIV.
“What is a feature or mechanic that you would like to adapt for Final Fantasy XIV?”
Naoki Yoshida celebrated his 50th birthday this year and is known to be an avid gamer for many years. For example, he appeared in a livestream for Final Fantasy XIV a few months ago with his Nintendo Switch, on which he played The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Additionally, he is a big Activision Blizzard fan and has already visited the developers in Anaheim, California.
In 2019, Blizzard even made a gift to the Final Fantasy XIV team:
His experience with other video games also strongly influences his work on the MMORPG. He and his team drew inspiration for the successful MMORPG World of Warcraft for the relaunch of Final Fantasy XIV with A Realm Reborn.
When asked what MMORPG content he finds exciting but would never implement in Final Fantasy XIV, he spoke about Ultima Online. At the launch of the game in 1997, he found everything very chaotic. However, he also found a lot of freedom in that chaos. A mixture that is exciting for Yoshida.
However, he has strong concerns:
I think that if I created something that approached that feeling and implemented it in Final Fantasy XIV, it would probably destroy the community. If we were to develop this type of MMO now, it probably wouldn’t sell either.
How did the launch of Ultima Online go? Ultima Online was released in September 1997. It was the first game to call itself a “Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game.” You can still play it in 2023, and now even for free.
One of the reasons it was considered chaotic is that the game continued to run. So during your offline time, you could actually miss content. Due to the limiting pixel graphics and the story told purely through text, players also had a lot of room for interpretation.
On top of that came the many combinations of armor, weapons, and skills: battle mages in full plate armor with swords were not uncommon. At the same time, it was possible to specialize in crafting and not fighting.
The same freedom was also reflected in interactions and role-playing opportunities.
In brief: In Ultima Online, players were very free in their gameplay, which caused the chaos mentioned by Yoshida.
A screenshot from the Japanese version of Ultima Online.
Would content like in Ultima Online work in Final Fantasy XIV? Naoki Yoshida himself has a very clear opinion on this – No. Even if he personally would have a lot of fun with it.
The basic structure of Final Fantasy XIV is fundamentally incompatible with the many freedoms in Ultima Online: Yoshida’s game has a very rigid class distribution that cannot be broken – this applies to both skills and armor and weapon choices.
The main story quest in Final Fantasy XIV also strongly dictates when you are presented with which content. Additionally, you play them, except for combat content, alone or in parallel with your fellow players. Open-world PvP is also not supported as in World of Warcraft.
During the Fan Festival, the first new job for the expansion Dawntrail was announced:

In addition, almost all content from Final Fantasy XIV is permanently playable. Exceptions include seasonal events and content collaborations like with Final Fantasy XV or Monster Hunter. However, Yoshi-P announced that they could be repeated upon request.
What do you think about it? Would you also like to see an old-school MMORPG in the style of Ultima Online again? Or are you actually quite happy with how games work today? Please share your opinion in the comments.
Season 2 receives great praise from players in Diablo 4. A big plus for many fans: Dungeons are no longer the only content that advances you. More importantly, they are now so interchangeable that people ignore them.
Here’s what this content is about:
Strongholds and Dungeons were considered by Blizzard to be some of the most important features in the game at the announcement of Diablo 4. More than 130 dungeons were designed.
Through strongholds, you unlock new parts of the world. Dungeons serve as a source of loot and especially glyphs when you play them in Nightmare mode.
Up to now, dungeons were regarded as the ultimate option for reliable farming. However, since Season 2, that seems to have changed.
This allows players to level so quickly and efficiently that they don’t need anything else. On Reddit, it says: “I’m now level 70 and I maybe did 3 dungeons. This is the Diablo I hoped for when I bought it.”
Strongholds become simply uninteresting after the first or second time. The dungeons and teleport points hidden behind them are simply skipped. There’s plenty of other things to do – and that’s how the game should be.

Missing Upgrades: “That’s a good problem”
What users are noticing, however, is that by skipping dungeons, glyphs cannot be leveled up. This opportunity only exists in Nightmare dungeons and glyphs are important for the strength of most builds.
But even without strong glyphs, it is possible to defeat the toughest bosses in the game. It’s just a bit more strenuous. A player who has checked out the new OP build of the Sorceress says:
I had some issues with the Ball Lightning build against Uber Lilith because I had not leveled glyphs. I reached level 100 and half of my glyphs were at level 4, but that’s a good problem. There’s enough stuff in the game to do, leveling goes so smoothly that I can choose what I want to do instead of being told what I need to do for meaningful progress.
Thus, Season 2 has apparently solved a problem that players previously had: that they were pretty much done with their character by level 70. After that, there was hardly any real growth in terms of equipment and character strength. The heroes were “ready.”
Now you reach level 100 quickly, the maximum level, and can start perfecting the build from there. Only one thing still bothers the players because a change now requires a new grind:
With Alien – The Eerie Creature from Another World, Ridley Scott created a milestone in the science fiction world. The film and the subsequent series were extremely well received by the audience. However, a certain film prevented the Alien series from continuing.
What is the Alien film series?
The first part of the series was released in 1979 and was extremely well received by the audience (via Rotten Tomatoes)
Three more parts of the main series were released in 1986, 1992, and 1997
There are now two other films related to the prehistory: Prometheus – Dark Signs and Alien: Covenant
Currently, Alien: Romulus is in development and is intended to be considered a kind of reboot
The Alien series takes place in a distant future. There, humanity encounters an alien species. It further reproduces after hatching by gestating its embryos in humans. Ellen Ripley is the protagonist of the main series and also plays an important role in the video games.
In the trailer, you can see what makes Alien fascinating:

Alien vs. Predator destroyed one of the two franchises
Why was the Alien franchise not continued?In a Q&A on reddit, director James Cameron wrote that he foresaw the destruction of the Alien series. Originally, he and Alien creator Ridley Scott planned to make a fifth installment in the main series.
During lunch, they discussed the details: James Cameron was to write the script, and Ridley Scott was to be the director. But then 20th Century Fox came up with the idea of a crossover, which neither of them liked.
Paul Anderson was working on Alien vs. Predator. Cameron found nothing appealing about the crossover and proclaimed that the film would ruin the franchise:
What happened was that Fox went ahead with Aliens vs. Predator, and I said: ‘I really do not recommend this, you are going to ruin the franchise, it’s like Universal with Dracula vs. Werewolf’, and then I lost interest in an Alien film.
As a result, he lost interest in continuing the Alien series together. James Cameron states that he wants to focus more on the Avatar series instead of collaborating on the Prometheus sequels (via reddit.com).
Ridley Scott also thought that Alien vs. Predator was a dumb idea (via hollywoodreporter.com):
I think Alien vs. Predator was a dumb idea. And I’m not sure how well it did or not, I don’t know. But somehow it brought the beast down. And I said to them: ‘Listen, you can revive it, but we need to start over from scratch and make a prequel if you want.’
Ridley Scott, Interview with The Hollywood Reporter
But for him, it’s different. After the two disastrous crossovers, he got back on board and created a prequel to the Alien series with Prometheus – Dark Signs. He will also work on Alien: Covenant and the upcoming Alien: Romulus.
