As gained, so lost. The first player reached Level 50 in the great WoW-HC event on Twitch. But the luck is short-lived.
A German event for World of Warcraft currently dominates Twitch: Sauercrowd. More than 200 streamers from the German-speaking region have come together to play WoW Classic in the “Hardcore” variant to eventually master the Molten Core. Many newcomers are involved, but also some veterans who bravely push forward to quickly reach Level 60.
What happened? Saltydayn was just trying an elite quest in Hinterlands. Elite enemies are already a strong threat in Hardcore mode, but “Qiaga the Keeper” brings several difficulties with her:
She is in an area surrounded by many other enemies.
She casts a DoT effect, namely Shadow Word: Pain.
She is a humanoid and will flee when she reaches low HP, which may alert other enemies.
Especially this combination causes the deadly incident here. Because Qiaga flees down the stairs of her temple, alerting more enemies. Saltydayn follows her and manages to defeat her.
He then uses “Vanish” and successfully escapes the fight – but only for a fraction of a second. Because he apparently overlooked the “Shadow Word: Pain” debuff on his character. The next damage tick immediately broke his stealth and alerted the casting trolls again, who then dealt the finishing blow.

Why couldn’t he escape? Rogues are a class that can generally flee from most situations. Because abilities like “Vanish” allow the rogue to re-enter stealth and thus break the fight – at least unless they are prevented from doing so.
Because “Vanish” is no guarantee, and there can be several problems. Enemies can resist the effect and simply continue to beat on the rogue, and debuffs on the character that cause damage (i.e., DoTs) can prematurely end the effect – as in this case.
This set Saltydayn back significantly. He realized that he had become “too greedy” here. However, he does not let it get him down, as the next character is already in the making – even though he has likely lost his place at the top of the “race” irrevocably.
In Pokémon GO the Community Day Classic is on January 4th! We will show you all the tips for the event featuring Piplup.
What kind of event is this? Similar to a regular Community Day, you can catch a specific Pokémon at this event – and that pretty much everywhere in the wild. The main bonus of the event is the increased shiny chance for the Pokémon.
The main difference from the regular Community Day is that the Pokémon has already had such an event. If you missed it back then or couldn’t catch a good specimen, you now have a new chance.
Which Pokémon will appear? The Water-type Pokémon Piplup is the star of the Community Day Classic in January 2025. It can evolve into Prinplup and ultimately Empoleon. And all the info and tips about it are below for you!

Community Day Classic in December with Piplup – Start & all event bonuses
What? Community Day Classic with Piplup When? Sunday, January 4, 2026 – From 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM Exclusive Attack: Hydro Cannon for Empoleon if you evolve it by 9:00 PM on the event day Bonuses: – Increased shiny chance for Piplup – Only a quarter of the hatch distance for eggs – Lure modules last for one hour and attract Piplup until 9:00 PM – Incense lasts 3 hours (not the daily adventure incense) – Snapshot surprises with Piplup – Field research with Piplup
Tips for the Community Day Classic with Piplup
There are a few things you should keep in mind to prepare for and make the most of the Community Day Classic.
The Lure Module Bonus: Your regular lure modules last for one hour and attract Piplup until 9:00 PM. With them, you also get an increased shiny chance and could get a special background with some luck.
Make space: You will need space to catch as many specimens as possible without having to send monsters away in between. Sort out your box beforehand.
Prepare items: You need enough Poké Balls to catch many Piplup. Plan for incense and lure modules as well if you want to use them.
Empty the incubators: Make sure your incubators are empty at the start of the event so you can place monsters in them that you can hatch faster.
Is Piplup worth it? Yes, because Empoleon is a very good attacker. Empoleon with Hydro Cannon is a very good Pokémon in the battle league and can also perform well as a gym and raid attacker. Plus, you can gather candies here if you have a Shadow Empoleon that you want to level up.
Which Mega Evolutions are worth it? If you have an active Water-type Mega Pokémon, you can receive more candies and XP for each Piplup catch.
Basically, Empoleon is a powerful Pokémon that you should secure. But there are many monsters in Pokémon GO that are really worth it if you’re looking for strong gym attackers. To give you an overview, we have compiled the best for you. Here are the currently strongest Pokémon in Pokémon GO sorted by type.

Other games would have crumbled under such chaos, but Hytale is fighting back. However, the lead developer is angry – and wants to harness that anger.
The story surrounding the game Hytale, which many refer to as a “Minecraft lookalike”, is perhaps one of the more bizarre in gaming. The project was supposed to become much bigger and better under Riot than ever planned. The dream seemed to have faded – but Hytale lives on. And the first release is just a few days away, although the new and old owner primarily feels anger.
Start video
Hytale shows 16 minutes of gameplay with the state from 2025, clarifying how exploring and fighting looks
What happened? A few years ago, Hytale had a real hype. The game looked good, preparations for the release were underway, and everything pointed towards success. However, Riot took over the development, the release was postponed – because the entire game was to receive a significantly higher quality. It is actually surprising, considering how good Hytale looked years ago.
The project was then threatened with cancellation, until the original owner offered to buy the game back from Riot – and that is exactly what happened. Hytale is being saved. But this rescue was not only expensive but also requires many sacrifices in the future.
This is what the chief says: The last 4 years were probably not at all productive, as Simon Collins-Laflamme reports on X. He recently bought back Hytale from Riot and reveals how he perceived the last years and what the prevailing emotion is: anger.
People ask me how I feel after I got Hytale back and as we approach the release. Honestly, the transparent answer is anger.
He also elaborates on this and explains how the last years were wasted from his perspective.
The game has insane potential, but 4 years of development have gone into rebuilding the engine instead of gameplay features. This leaves us with a 4-year gap that we need to catch up on, and with a newly built engine that will now never be used.
If you don’t invest in gameplay, you don’t just lose time. You lose momentum, iterations, and player feedback. Now the focus has to be on “gameplay first” and on rebuilding trust by actually releasing things at a fast pace.
Hytale is strongly reminiscent of Minecraft – yet is something entirely its own.
“It’s a damn miracle”
A project that has been developed “into nothing” for 4 years would probably be a reason for most developers to simply bury the matter. After all, the initial hype of Hytale has nearly been extinguished, and only the biggest fans remain. But they are not intimidated and hope to still realize the vision of Hytale. The developers have reportedly achieved nothing less than a miracle in recent days, as stated:
It’s a damn miracle that we were able to save Hytale. It was barely playable. All foundations were broken. The camera, movement, combat, crafting, building, the game loop, the sounds, the rendering. Everything. Just everything was wrong.
That they were apparently able to make quick corrections here is not a reason for the developers to slow down. Quite the opposite. Making up for lost time will be a project that will likely take many, many months:
It should have taken years to fix this, but within weeks we got the game back into a playable, fun state. And now, instead of slowing down or celebrating the release, we have to keep pushing forward for years to catch up on the lost time.
He concludes his summary by stressing the anger once again. Collins-Laflamme does not want this anger to turn into a negative mood, but instead to harness it:
So yes, I feel anger. But I transform this anger into focus and execution. I am putting in more money, more time, and personal sacrifices to deliver the game that this vision deserves.
When can you play Hytale? The release of an “Early Access” version of Hytale is imminent. Starting from January 13, 2026, you will be able to play Hytale – but not on Steam. Hytale will initially only be offered on the official game website. A large launch on Steam is not planned yet, as they expect a lot of negative reviews from players who “are not yet well informed about the work of the [team].” The developers prefer to collaborate with the core community, listen to their feedback, and not get too bogged down by negative reviews on Steam – there will be time for that later.

Who doesn’t enjoy watching a good movie or an exciting series? MeinMMO author Linda Baumgartl has discovered an app that makes the experience even better.
Do you know the feeling: you start a new series, get totally hooked after a few episodes, and can’t wait to talk about it with everyone? At least that often happens to me. Unfortunately, there isn’t always someone around to annoy with my new obsession. And it’s really only fun when the other person knows what it’s about – meaning they’ve watched the series too. Since my friends don’t always share my absolutely amazing, and definitely not occasionally questionable taste in shows, this becomes quite tricky in practice.
So, I quickly started looking for like-minded people online. For movies, I love reading reviews after I’ve seen the film myself. With a good movie, I’m happy when it receives praise from others as well. For a bad movie, it’s fine if it gets dissected down to the smallest detail.
However, I often had a problem with series. If you type the title into social media to dive a bit into the fandom, you will almost definitely get spoiled at some point. Especially if the series has been out for a while. The solution for me was an app called TV Time, which has since become an essential part of my series nights and offers several other practical features.

All Movies and Series at a Glance
What is this app? TV Time is a platform that allows you to keep track of what you’re watching or want to watch. You can do this either through the website or the corresponding app. An account is free and doesn’t require a subscription or anything.
When you open the app, you first land on your profile. Here you find some statistics, such as the total time of all tracked movies and series. Additionally, there’s an overview of your recent activities and favorites. This allows for quick access, especially to the series you’re currently watching.
Another nice option is the explore tab. Here you can click through movie and series suggestions, filter by genres, and see what’s currently popular. You can easily save interesting titles and view them later on your watchlist. Of course, you can also actively search for something to remember it on your list.

It becomes even more interesting with series. Here you can not only add series titles to your watchlist. For each series, you additionally have a practical overview where you can precisely note which seasons and episodes you have already watched.
For current series, you can also opt to be notified when new episodes are available.

Like Social Media, but for Series
The best part of TV Time for me is definitely the community. For each episode of a series, and of course for movies, there is a dedicated comment section. This is where you can perfectly exchange with others. People post pictures of their favorite moments, funny memes, discuss the content, and share interesting facts. This is social media the way I envision it.
Especially for series, this system is simply fantastic. If I want the reactions of others to a specific scene, I don’t have to painstakingly scour the internet. I just go to the respective episode, and I’m likely to find some insightful comments. Plus, I no longer have to worry about spoilers. Even if a spoiler makes its way into a comment section, the community usually tags it reliably and thus hides it.
I find myself increasingly excited to browse the comments on TV Time right after watching an episode. Especially when something particularly shocking, funny, or stupid happens. I can almost see the memes and outraged posts already.
Overall, this makes the series experience so much better for me. I feel like I get to have fun twice: once while watching, and then while reading the comments. And it feels like I watched the series with a bunch of friends – simply wonderful.
Here are a few quick impressions, mostly without spoilers:
As you can see from the pictures, the comments are almost exclusively in English. While you can filter by language in general, my experience has been that it doesn’t work that well, probably because there just aren’t enough German comments.
Of course, TV Time is not the only platform for movies and series on the market. Its special strength compared to competitors lies primarily in the community. Since that is the most important thing for me, I have always stuck with it. However, there are many alternatives for those who value different features. For example:
Letterboxd: The most popular platform for movies. For each movie, you can leave a short review and thus create your own film diary.
Serializd: Specialized in series.
Queue: For movies and series. You can easily copy and paste lists, for example from your notes app, to add them automatically in the app.
Trakt: Can be connected with streaming services to synchronize watched movies and series automatically.
Practical apps are not limited to the movie and series area. Language learning apps are also particularly popular. If you want to practice for your next vacation, we’ve put together a list of the best options for you here on MeinMMO: The best apps for learning languages for your next vacation

The Mistborn books by Brandon Sanderson are among the most popular fantasy novels of all time, and are featured on pretty much every list alongside giants like The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or The Kingkiller Chronicle. However, there has been a lack of adaptations so far. That could soon change, and MeinMMO editor Lydia dares to hope.
What is specifically known? Right away: Nothing concrete is known yet. The information comes from Brandon Sanderson’s annual review, which was published on December 19, 2025, on his official website. In it, he writes in the section on video games:
“I have received some real interest on the video game front, and I feel that I’m finally established enough that we can make a Mistborn game. To that end, I have started talking to some AAA developers.”
A possible Mistborn game is currently little more than a glimmer in its creator’s eyes. And long-time fans know better than to get their hopes up. In the past, there have been several attempts to adapt Brandon Sanderson’s books, whether as movies, series, or video games.
The implementation has so far been quite difficult, not least because the author insists on retaining full creative control over his works. But this time, Sanderson claims everything will be different:
“I’m trying to approach things differently this time to maintain control over my video game rights. I’ve already received interest from some major players in the video game industry (who I greatly respect). So if you’re decision-makers at a AAA studio or a big indie studio, and have always wanted to make a Mistborn or Stormlight game… well, you should contact my representatives now.”
And even though I’m not necessarily a Sanderson superfan, I deeply hope that a studio will heed the call, because I believe this could be something truly special.
Speaking of video games based on books…

What could make it so special? The magic in Mistborn is based on metals, with the most well-known magic system in the series being Allomancy. Each metal has its own effect: Tin boosts physical strength, Tin sharpens the senses, and Copper allows a Mistborn to hide from enemies.
This means that Allomancy already provides the foundation for a pretty cool combat system, perhaps even stealth elements. However, things get really exciting with the movement. Burning Iron and Steel allows users to pull towards metals or push against them.
These abilities are used by the Mistborn in the books to move across the city rooftops. They throw coins, which they then pull towards themselves or push away from.
Although it remains to be seen whether there will even be a video game adaptation, or how exactly the books could be implemented – let me at least dream of swinging through a fantasy world like Spider-Man.
A small taste of how cool this could be is shown in this clip from Comic Con in London:

By the way, I’m not alone in my hope. Cedar_Wood_State writes on Reddit: “The book reads like a tutorial for a video game (at least partly in the beginning). I already imagined it like a Spider-Man game (in terms of movement) while reading it.”
In another thread on Reddit, the similarity to the Dishonored games is discussed, whose gameplay would lend itself well to a Mistborn game. One user is even convinced that the books could have originally started as fan fiction for the Thief games, whose spiritual successor was Dishonored.
Microsoft canceled the game that the former head of The Elder Scrolls Online had waited for his entire career. Now he speaks for the first time about his departure.
Who is it about? Matt Firor is an American game developer who worked at ZeniMax Online Studios for 18 years. There, he served as the Game Director of The Elder Scrolls Online and as Studio Director.
In the summer of 2025, Firor left ZeniMax. His successor as studio head was to be Jo Burba. Firor did not specify an exact reason for his departure at the time, but Microsoft – after acquiring Bethesda and ZeniMax, the parent company of the developer studio – announced the layoff of 9,000 employees on the same day.

Microsoft canceled the game that he had waited for his entire career
What exactly does he say? At the start of the new year, Firor addressed his followers on LinkedIn. In a post, he addresses the second most frequently asked question, according to him: What led to his departure from ZeniMax Online Studios?
Firor says that it is the “most obvious explanation.” As part of the massive layoffs at Microsoft in the summer of 2025, ZeniMax Online’s new MMORPG was also canceled: Project Blackbird. It was intended to be a mix of Destiny and Blade Runner. For Firor, a special project:
“Project Blackbird was the game that I had waited my entire career to develop, and when it was canceled, I resigned. My thoughts and heart are still with the affected team members, many of whom I had worked with for over 20 years and who were all among the most dedicated and talented developers in the industry.”
Project Blackbird had been in development for 7 years when it was canceled in the summer of 2025 and received very positive feedback from early testers. Even Xbox head Phil Spencer was reportedly a fan, according to well-known industry insider Jason Schreier. It was said that they even had to wrest the controller from him to proceed with a meeting (via Bloomberg).
MMORPG was supposed to be a mix of Destiny and Blade Runner
What was this game supposed to be? Many details are not known, but according to consistent reports, Project Blackbird was to be an online loot shooter in the third-person perspective, increasingly compared to Bungie’s Destiny.
A major focus of the game was to be on vertical movement, and players would have been able to run up walls like superheroes and swing around large buildings Spider-Man style with grappling hooks. Furthermore, Blackbird was supposed to feature a “SciFi-Noir” style reminiscent of movies like Blade Runner.
It has been 30 years since the red and green edition of Pokémon was released in Japan. The franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and wants to make it a big event. Fans are particularly interested in a special version of the yellow mascot.
What kind of celebration will take place? In 2026, the Pokémon universe will celebrate its round anniversary. For the 30th anniversary, there will be an event on February 27, 2026, where presumably new games, DLCs, and other announcements will be presented in a video.
A new main game could also be among these announcements. Previous leaks have shown the 10th generation for the first time. The new games are said to be called Pokémon Wind & Wave. Players will be taken to the jungle in this game. They are expected to be released in 2026.
Definitely not a leak is Pokopia: According to official sources, it is set to be released on March 5, 2026. The game has gained a bad reputation primarily because it will be released on a so-called Game Key Card.
In line with this, the Pokémon team released a new trailer showing Pikachu in various designs. A particularly older version of the monster stands out.

Fans want Chonker Pikachu back
Which Pokémon excites the fans? Under the tweet on X, many fans express their excitement, especially for the slightly chubbier Pikachu. In one of the early designs, Pikachu didn’t have a neck but rather a continuous round body.
This round design can be found, among other places, on the game packaging of the yellow Pokémon edition. Over time, Pikachu has lost weight, as evidenced by its slender legs and the presence of a neck.
The little monster doesn’t even fit in the Pokéball, does it?
A user even mentions that they saw the original design of the Chonky Pikachu in London at an exhibition. The design was created by graphic designer Atsuko Nishida.
In the comments, many wish for the classic design of Pikachu to make a return. They are excited to see the yellow pocket monster in its beloved form in the trailer.

Community Manager Mary loves the risk with the Rogue: If DnD players can excel at one thing, it’s being mean and dastardly. And with which class is that better achieved than with the Rogue? The backstabbers from all areas of the Forgotten Realms are ideally suited to not play fair, but rather let everyone else rush ahead.
Especially to then show up in combat, unleash a sneak attack for maximum damage, only to hide behind the next caster buddy.
I love Rogues because they embody the principle of high risk-high reward. Either the dice favor me, and I am cooler than Ezio Auditore from Assassin’s Creed, or I mess up big time even without rolling a Nat 1 and have to watch how I rescue my delicate rear in light leather armor from the mess.
Speaking of rescue: I can do that well as a Rogue too! Just for myself, but that’s enough. For everything else, there are Paladins, Fighters, and Barbarians.

Even though Zelda is exclusively available for Nintendo consoles, there are some good alternatives. One of the best can currently be found on Steam for just a few euros.
Which game is it? The Darksiders Warmastered Edition was released in 2016 as the remaster of the first Darksiders game. The action series now consists of 4 parts, and especially the first part gameplay-wise strongly resembles Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series.
Instead of focusing on family-friendliness, the title relies on more brutal action and a significantly darker and more serious story. Currently, you can get Darksiders Warmastered Edition for a good price, which is especially worth it for Zelda fans, as well as for players who enjoy battling demons, angels, and other beings.
A Zelda-like with its own facets
How does Darksiders Warmastered Edition play? After a spectacular intro, War, the playable Horseman of the Apocalypse, loses his powers. He is given a new chance and must reclaim his abilities. To do this, he makes a pact with the demon Samael and must kill monsters for him to give him their hearts.
The monsters are always located in their own dungeons, which take place on the destroyed Earth. These are visually and gameplay-wise diverse, and as you would expect from Zelda games, there are dungeon gimmicks that must be used for puzzles.
On the post-apocalyptic Earth, you will encounter many demons and angels that you must fend off. The combat system is based on simple combos that can be combined with various weapons. Additionally, there are parry, block, and dodge functions as well as a powerful demon form.
All of this is not particularly complex, but in combat, you can make good use of the various aspects. Usually, the sword is enough. The major difference to Zelda, however, is the level of violence. Although the comic graphics never make it too brutal, the many finishers are comparatively explicit and often remind one of God of War.
Occasionally, the gameplay is also lightened up with smaller set pieces, such as third-person shooting sequences.
The main character sometimes reminds one of the old Kratos. He is quite taciturn, far too serious, and follows his goal strictly. Charm or character development is hardly present, but this fits quite well with the rather simple story. After all, it’s about a destroyed Earth, countless demons, and a Horseman of the Apocalypse.
How is the game received by the community? Of 12,586 user reviews, 87% are positive on Steam. Fans praise Darksiders Warmastered Edition as the best part of the series that can be played over and over again. The comparison to Zelda is often mentioned positively as well. The few criticisms relate to backtracking towards the end of the game and occasional bugs.
How much does Darksiders Warmastered Edition cost on Steam? On Steam, the game is currently 75% off and costs only €4.99, about as much as a Magic TCG booster. This offer is valid until January 5, 2026, so you don’t have unlimited time. Those who want to catch up on the entire series can grab all 4 titles for €19.45. A great way to prepare for the upcoming sequel: Fans thought the game series was dead, but the “evil Zelda” is getting a new installment

Do you sometimes not find the best way to travel the world in World of Warcraft? An addon calculates the fastest routes – a must for collectors.
World of Warcraft is vast. Really vast. No wonder, as there are now 10 expansions and thus just as many countries, planets, and continents to roam around. Traveling from A to B can be quite a complex task. After all, there are numerous portals, quick travel options, or even toys that make traveling easier. Keeping all of that in mind is nearly impossible.
A new addon can help – as it is the perfect guide for Azeroth.
Start video
WoW: Early access to housing has started
How does the addon work? The addon named “Mapzeroth” is the perfect companion for anyone who likes to get lost in the vastness of Azeroth. You can choose from a wide range of destinations, such as cities, dungeons, or raid instances. With a click on the destination, it will then calculate how to best travel your route efficiently.
What does the addon take into account? Mapzeroth calculates all the options available to you. The addon checks whether you can cast specific portals as a mage or whether you have certain toys in your collection that facilitate traveling. Your faction is also considered. Based on that, you will subsequently be provided with the fastest and most efficient route to reach your destination in no time. Of course, your starting location is also taken into account, so you will get the quickest route from any location.
Reach your destination faster with Mapzeroth.
Does the addon still work in Midnight? Yes, most likely it does. Midnight primarily restricts addons that have an impact during combat. A guide that merely goes through your options and outputs a solid route should not be affected. After all, it only saves you time while traveling and does not provide additional information that is relevant in battles.
Who is the addon suitable for? In principle, the addon is of course suitable for anyone who travels a lot in the world of Azeroth and is not just actively engaged in the latest areas. Especially with the housing feature, it may be necessary to stay in many parts of the world to visit old vendors or catch up on quests. It is extremely useful to have an addon that directs you precisely to the right places with the fastest connections.
If you find it difficult to get comfortable with such an addon, we have created a comprehensive guide for you that explains how to get to pretty much all the relevant locations in World of Warcraft: “WoW: How do I get to …? The big guide for all locations”

If there is a pro in League of Legends that most players know, it is Faker. The South Korean LoL legend has now been honored in his homeland with a special medal.
What kind of honor is this? According to the South Korean website kmib.co.kr, Faker, whose real name is Lee Sang-hyeok, received the Cheongnyong Medal (Blue Dragon) from South Korean President Lee Jae-myung. This is the highest sports merit award in the country, which has been awarded since 1973 to athletes who have achieved special accomplishments in their field. It is essentially the Hall of Fame of South Korean sports.
Faker is thus the first e-sports athlete in the country to receive the medal. Other well-known athletes with this award include soccer player Son Heung-min. German soccer fans know him from Bayer 04 Leverkusen, where he played between 2013 and 2015 in 62 matches.

He reportedly also thanked his fans, who have always supported him. He wants to continue giving his best and convey positive messages in and out of the game.
His agency, Fanable, also commented on the awarding of the medal. They emphasized that the medal shows South Korea’s status as a leading e-sports nation.

What has Faker achieved? Faker is the most successful LoL player of all time. His career began in 2013 with Team T1 (then still SK Telecom T1), where he is still the midlaner today. During this time, Faker has won the World Championship in LoL 6 times.
Apart from that, he has also won several tournaments like the Asia Games. This allowed him to even avoid military service in South Korea, which ended another professional career in 2025. Despite being comparatively high in age for a LoL pro (29), there is currently no end of his career in sight. His contract with T1 was extended in November 2025 until November 19, 2029.
The German Twitch is currently in the WoW fever. The content guild Sauercrowd has drawn in more than 200 streamers to the MMORPG. Among them is also JenNyan, who had to learn a hard lesson: Never go AFK.
How did the streamer get caught? JenNyan is one of the Twitch streamers who is currently venturing into WoW for the first time as part of the content guild Sauercrowd. After 2 days, on December 29, 2025, she had to suffer her first hardcore death.
The streamer had violated the golden rule of not going AFK in dangerous places, leaving her priest at level 20 standing on a rock at the Darkshore to make a coffee. A hunter exploited her absence and lured the elite mob Dreschonator 4.100 to the defenseless priest before making his escape.
While JenNyan hurried back, she could not prevent the death of her character. The clip received over 56,000 views and is one of the most watched clips of the week (Source: TwitchTracker).

So it continued: The loss of her character visibly affected Jen. The streamer explained that it felt “really hard,” “worse than any breakup.” But like with such a breakup, she has friends who stand by her side.
Instead of ice cream and a series marathon, the streamers Nagura and LostKittn showed up with new gear and bags, and began to boost JenNyan again. She also immediately stated that she wanted to lead by example and immediately created a new character.
A few minutes later, the streamer was already laughing again and even sent a “kiss” to the griefer: She had gained so many viewers and subs that the death of her character was a bit easier to bear.
JenNyan did not let herself be discouraged and played another 10 hours until her new character reached level 16, and she could fall into bed tired and satisfied. The next day, after 4.5 hours of sleep, she went right back into the grind. With her loyal group, she quickly celebrated hitting level 20 again. You can see the big moment here:

The Total War series is known for many popular and less popular strategy games. One of the best ended much too early, but now you can at least get it for free.
Which game is meant? We are talking about Total War: Three Kingdoms. The game from 2019 is still praised by fans today, even though the abrupt end of the game casts a shadow over it.
Total War: Three Kingdoms is one of the two currently free games in the Epic Games Store. Until January 8, 2026, at 5 PM, you can get the standard edition without DLCs for free here.
Here you can see a trailer for the strategy game:

Total War: Three Kingdoms – The first trailer for the strategy game on Steam
What is the game about? Total War: Three Kingdoms begins in the year 190 AD. The Han Dynasty in China is approaching its end: The Yellow Turban rebels are shaking the empire and the tyrant Dong Zhuo has taken the emperor hostage.
In the resulting chaos, powerful warlords rise up. They can usually be divided into two camps – some want to save the empire while others want to become emperor themselves.
The best diplomacy system of the entire series
What makes the game so good? If you ask fans, the diplomacy system is particularly highlighted. Just because the series is called “Total War”, it doesn’t mean players don’t desire complex diplomacy. And that’s exactly what the game delivers.
You can form coalitions with other kingdoms, incite vassals to rebel against their lords, or simply gather supporters for your goal of becoming the next emperor of China.
The diplomacy in the game continues to surprise players years after release, as they demonstrate on Reddit:

If you want to be particularly intriguing, you should play a campaign with Cao Cao – he is notorious for his deception tactics. With him, you can launch proxy wars to weaken other kingdoms – before you conquer them yourself.
The end came much too early
A strong start was followed by weak DLCs: Total War: Three Kingdoms was the fastest-selling title in the entire franchise at launch. In the first week alone, over a million copies were sold, as announced on the official Total War channel on X (formerly Twitter).
However, subsequent DLCs did not manage to convince many players. On Steam, none of them received a rating higher than “mixed”; most are rated “mostly negative”.
The DLCs mainly offer alternative start dates for the campaign as well as new characters and units. In 2020, the Nanman brought powerful war elephants, and in 2021, “Fates Divided” was the last DLC. Franchises like Korea that fans wanted are still missing.
In a message that still resonates today (which you can see here on YouTube), which was meant to be about “the future” of Total War: Three Kingdoms, the end of new content for the game was announced. However, they have at least begun the pre-production of a sequel – about which, as of today, January 2, 2026, nothing further is known.
Is the game still worth it? Total War: Three Kingdoms is still a strong strategy game, even though not all DLCs could convince. The fact that the only playable cultures are the Han Chinese and (as DLC) the Nanman is bitter, but the game still offers a lot of content.
Especially for those who enjoy diplomacy in Total War games rather than raw violence, Three Kingdoms is perfect. So far, there is no real alternative within the franchise.
Taking a close look at the shop page for Total War: Three Kingdoms in the Epic Games Store reveals that one of the displayed images does not match the rest. A screenshot from another game has sneaked into Total War – and MeinMMO author Ody would never miss an opportunity to talk about this game. After all, it is one of his absolute favorites: I have spent 300 hours in a game on Steam that almost nobody played, yet it is one of the most popular game series

Since the first Fallout, players and inhabitants of the wasteland have had to deal with the super mutants. These creatures have various origins, one of the most terrifying is in Vault 87.
If you were unlucky and sought shelter in the wrong vault, you would face an even worse fate there than in the contaminated wasteland. One of them was Vault 87. Those who ended up there might have escaped, but probably no longer as a human being.

Experiments with a virus naturally went wrong
What happened in Vault 87? Vault 87, which you explore in Fallout 3, was dedicated to research on super mutants and the FEV. FEV stands for Forced Evolutionary Virus and can turn humans into superhuman monsters. The goal was to create an army of super soldiers with the virus that could be deployed in the Great War.
The virus research in Vault 87 was conducted by Dr. Wayne Merrick. Initially, a social experiment was to be carried out in the vault, but in 2076, a year before the bombs fell, it was decided to use the vault for experiments with the FEV virus. The idea behind it emerged in collaboration with the U.S. military.
The inhabitants of the vault had no idea they were part of the research, and individual residents were regularly infected with the virus to observe what happens. If someone died during the experiment, it was simply covered up so the residents wouldn’t panic.
Another experiment for wartime purposes were the Deathclaws:
How did the experiment take place? Since the FEV cannot simply be transmitted through air or bodily fluids of an infected person (via Fallout Wiki), a test subject must either come into contact with the green substance or be injected with it.
After 10 days, the infected start to transform slowly. The muscle structure becomes larger and the skin tougher and more resistant. Depending on the method, the transformation can be quite painful as the bodies of the infected deform.
After a few days, brain functions also decline and the infected become more aggressive and dangerous. Dr. Merrick killed the super mutants in such cases because the danger was simply too great and the benefit of such mutants was not given.
As expected, a test subject managed to escape and defeat the security personnel of Vault 87. The imprisoned super mutants escaped, took over the vault, and began to raid the wasteland with a new objective: they kidnapped people from the former area of Washington D.C. and infected them with the FEV. This went on for nearly 200 years until the FEV supplies were depleted.
In 2277, the main character from the game Fallout 3 enters the vault as part of the main story to obtain the Garden of Eden Creation Kit. There, he encounters not only dangerous super mutants but also the peaceful and somewhat intelligent Fawkes, whom you can gain as a companion if you rescue him from his prison.
Are there other super mutants in the world of Fallout? In the universe of Fallout, the super mutants are a constant threat and therefore have, depending on the location, different origin stories:
In the first Fallout, the Master wants to conquer the wasteland with his own army of super mutants, which is why he uses the FEV.
In Vault 96 (from the game Fallout 76), Dr. Edgar Blackburn is researching the FEV. The resulting super mutants were allowed to leave the vault.
The Institute from Fallout 4, which also created the Synths (androids), experimented with the FEV as well, which explains why there are super mutants in the Commonwealth. The experiment was ended by Brian Virgil, who transformed himself into a super mutant.
Within the super mutants, there are different variants. The Nightkin are a sort of elite variant of the normal super mutants, and with the Behemoths, there are gigantic variants that are even more dangerous. Occasionally, intelligent super mutants like Fawkes emerge, with whom you can talk and who are not inherently dangerous.
The streamer Kunshikitty wanted to celebrate New Year’s Eve with her nearly 225,000 followers on Twitch. However, while she was out in Cologne, she was hit multiple times with firecrackers. The incident spread on social media and was exploited there.
This was the situation: The Twitch streamer Kunshikitty hosts a New Year’s Eve stream every year on December 31. However, this year’s transition took an unpleasant turn: Shortly before midnight, the streamer was attacked multiple times.
At around 11:45 PM, Kunshikitty was hit in the head by an unknown person with a firecracker. The streamer screamed, holding her head. A few minutes later, she was hit again.
Kunshikitty was not discouraged by the incident and continued her stream. Clips spread rapidly on social media and were viewed hundreds of thousands of times, such as here on X.

Attack on streamer exploited
The incident was also discussed internationally in the Subreddit r/LivestreamFail, the largest streaming community on Reddit. The thread received over 32,000 upvotes, but many comments had to be removed by moderators before the comments were completely closed.
The claim of the thread creator that Kunshikitty wanted to prove to her viewers that it was possible for a woman to safely walk past groups of celebrating men is not substantiated. Instead, the streamer had stated beforehand that it gets very hectic in Cologne on New Year’s Eve. She mentioned that she was going into a “war zone” and admitted to being afraid of the fireworks.
Just before she was hit a second time, Kunshikitty said it was sad that as a woman, one cannot even feel safe from being thrown at, even with male companionship. She speculated that the person probably would not have dared if she were a “two-meter bouncer.”
In a stream on January 1, 2026, Kunshikitty clarified that she did not want to prove anything. Any claims of that nature should not be taken seriously. Reports that she intended to take legal action were also not true (X).
In the German-speaking streaming subreddit r/Laesterschwestern, moderators also had to take action after racist comments occurred. The remaining discussion mainly revolves around criticism of the behavior of those responsible. Some users are calling for the attack to be reported, while others are advocating for a ban on fireworks. Ultimately, the situation could have literally gone “in the eye.”
In connection with the attack on Kunshikitty, discussions about IRL streams have arisen again. In these, streamers leave their gaming rooms and go “into real life.” While this sounds harmless, it frequently causes problems.
Some passersby feel disturbed by the filming streamers – after all, not everyone wants to be presented to thousands of people on the internet without their consent. For content creators, it can even become truly dangerous: there have already been several assaults and “IRL stream sniping,” where viewers find out where streamers are located.
Note: This topic is highly politically charged due to the sexual assaults that occurred on December 31, 2015, in Cologne. The attack on Kunshikitty is exploited in this context. Therefore, we have decided to keep the comments closed, as we cannot ensure moderation with the holiday staff. Thank you for your understanding.

MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier is a passionate role-player and often the one at the table who sets the tone. However, for 40 adventure points, he traded his greatest strength and thereby saved his role-playing group.
I have sinned. I was greedy. I wanted 40 adventure points to invest in cool talents for my character. For that, I gave up my greatest strength: My voice.
Anyone who knows The Dark Eye knows that you can give characters disadvantages in exchange for adventure points that you can then invest in other values. They are a mix of experience and skill points and are earned alongside the start and after successful adventures. I still needed 40 points for my Boron acolyte. Accordingly, I pored over the disadvantages before deciding on a vow of silence.
“Easily earned points,” I thought. “Then I’ll just nod.”
Normally, I am the “main character” in the group. I take conversations over, I negotiate, I discuss, I am loud. My vow of silence would therefore change everything at the table, but I was ready for the challenge. What started out as sheer greed for points would soon prove to be the best idea for my role-playing group.
Anyone who likes tabletop RPGs like The Dark Eye or Dungeons & Dragons might also enjoy Critical Role’s Daggerheart:

Just Do It
My fellow players knew nothing of my vow of silence when the session began. I let them meet my character just like normal. But even this encounter was unusual: Instead of introducing myself impressively, I simply let my character smile and nod.
While my fellow players gradually understood that I wouldn’t be talking for eight hours today, I had to learn to deal with myself and my character first. This began even before we had to meet our first client. Just before the door to the throne room, the group debated how to present themselves best – for minutes.
That’s when I recognized a superpower that I had never used before: Just do it.
Even before my four fellow players had finished discussing their consensus about the group appearance, I had my character open the door and enter. My fellow players were left stunned before they hurried to follow.
I used this superpower repeatedly later on. My character always listened to the group, also answered with a nod occasionally – but when he wanted to do something, he did it. Even without the blessing of all fellow players.
Only when celebrating at festivals was my character quite boring
Boron Forgive!
This did not always go well. For instance, when I wanted to behead a disbelieving witch instead of questioning her. Who would have thought that my vow of silence would be broken by transforming into a frog and a loud croak? Boron forgive.
My character was a disruptive factor in the group. My fellow players were not exactly thrilled that I did not always align with their ideas but sometimes just acted. However, my character created facts – and especially in a positive sense. Instead of spending minutes contemplating the best strategy, he brought about spontaneous moments, improvisation, and chaos with his thoughtless actions. All things that often get lost in large groups in favor of a “perfect plan”.
It’s important to note: My character never actively harmed the group. The typical “My Guy Syndrome,” where a player acts destructively just “because the character is like that,” has no place at the gaming table.
On the contrary: Proactive actions that replace lengthy discussions and create facts did the group good. I learned that while I used to believe I had the greatest influence due to my dominant speaking share, in reality, it is the one who rolls the dice who determines the game – and that doesn’t even require a single word.
Hideaki Anno is currently the CEO of Khara Inc., but became known as the director of the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. He now reveals how he approaches series and what other animation studios should adhere to. And in doing so, you will come out short.
What is Hideaki Anno known for? Hideaki Anno was the director of Neon Genesis Evangelion. At that time, he was still working at the animation studio Gainax, which has not produced any anime since 2015. Recently, the studio was closed. Anno, who was no longer working for the studio at the time, wrote emotional farewell words.
His current company worked on animated films related to Evangelion and was involved in Kaiju No.8 and Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX. Therefore, he was able to gain a lot of experience in the anime industry in recent years and has had a successful career, as the decline of Gainax happened only after his departure.
The director now reveals to Forbes Japan how he approaches his series. And most of you are completely ignored in the process.

Neon Genesis Evangelion – Trailer for the Legendary Anime Series
Animes should only focus on Japan
What does he do differently with Animes? According to him, Japanese animation studios think too quickly of the West. For viewers in Europe, other things need to be considered than in Japan, which has to do with culture or applicable laws. But Anno does not care. For him, the language barriers are not a problem, but rather the way people think:
I focus on what resonates well and entertains in Japan, and if I’m lucky, I’m happy when it also resonates abroad. […] A work consisting of Japanese thoughts is hard to understand if it is not in Japanese. Film has visual and musical elements, therefore I believe there are fewer language barriers than in other areas. But the dialogues are still in Japanese, and it is a drama about people whose emotions are based on Japanese ways of thinking.
He also asks the audience in the West to adapt to Animes, not the other way around. As another example, he cites the animation studio Ghibli. Anno believes that Hayao Miyazaki does not think about foreign markets at all.
What do fans in the West think about it? Users in Reddit can completely understand it. Many believe that a director should not cater to them or others. One should approach things with passion rather than creating something cynically just to please a specific audience.
This is also reflected in Neon Genesis Evangelion. The anime originated from the director’s fear that the world would end in a nuclear catastrophe in the 20th century. The anime became one of the most famous series from Japan.
Hostile creatures in Dungeons & Dragons are cut apart, burned, frozen, and dispatched in many other ways during battles. However, a game master wants to know what kind of wound a particularly “radiant” attack would leave… but it is mainly the reason for their question that sparks discussion within the community.
Why does the game master want to know more about the damage? The DM (Dungeon Master) reaches out to the D&D community on Reddit with a burning question. He is running a campaign for a group where one player wants to play as a master chef who prepares the slain creatures for the group to eat after battle. The plan strongly resembles the anime “Delicious in Dungeon,” which we feature in this list on MeinMMO.
He can envision and explain how the wounds would look and how the type of damage affects the flesh of the creatures and its flavor. Only for one type is he currently at a loss: radiant damage.
“I know the simple and boring answer is ‘white burning,’ but personally, I want more interesting answers,” he writes on Reddit. He also wants to know how he could describe the taste of the flesh that was “cooked” with radiant damage to the player.
Here you can see the trailer for “The Mighty Nein” on Amazon Prime, the series adaptation of Critical Role’s second campaign:

Radiant damage can lead to incredible flavor, but also inaccurate preparation
What exactly is radiant damage? To determine what wounds and flavors radiant damage may cause, one must first clarify what kind of damage it actually is.
In the 2024 Player’s Handbook, radiant damage is described as “Holy Energy” and “Searing Radiation.” In this regard, it can be considered a type of “burn” that is not caused by fire, but rather by holy energy. Even in Baldur’s Gate 3, a target killed by radiant damage falls burning to the ground in a kind of white “fire.”
But how would the flesh react to this kind of holy fire? On Reddit, hundreds of players participate in the discussion.
Due to the holy influence, many players expect that the flesh should simply taste divine. The user shutternomad already floats in culinary heaven with their description:
“Perhaps radiant flesh… is too perfect? The fibers separate cleanly. No cartilage. The fat transforms into a translucent, pearl-like gel that melts instantly on the tongue and tastes amazing.”
Holy damage, on the other hand, could also render the flesh completely inedible. Due to radiation, the flesh could be completely destroyed. The molecules might decompose and break down before it can even be consumed.
“Radiant damage is not a cleansing force. It’s deadly light,” explains Hades_Gamma, and TalksInMaths emphasizes: “Acute radiation damage is much worse than just being unevenly cooked. Seriously, don’t look at images of it if you’re sensitive. The body begins to disintegrate at the cellular level.”
In this regard, the game master should consider whether their master chef might prefer to only handle creatures roasted by fire.
Since there are still no exact specifications regarding the taste of flesh that has been affected by radiant damage, we also want to hear from you if you have a hypothesis on the question. The player of the asking DM has given their character a solid backstory with the master chef background, which can lead to exciting moments within the group. Not every group can claim to be rewarded with a real meal during their nightly rest. If your characters still lack backgrounds, we have prepared more inspirations for you here on MeinMMO: 5 strong backgrounds from Dungeons & Dragons in the ranking that can enhance your backstory’s advantage in gameplay

One of the most celebrated series from 2025 is Pluribus. The sci-fi series comes from the creator behind Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. The lead actress, Rhea Seehorn, you might already know from a quirky role from 1997, at least if you have an interest in games related to Magic: The Gathering .
What is Pluribus? On November 7, 2025, the new sci-fi series Pluribus premiered on Apple TV. It is created by Vince Gilligan, who has brought us two of the best series of all time, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
The star of the series is Rhea Seehorn. Although she has been acting since 1997, her most notable role is probably in the series Better Call Saul, where she played the character Kim Wexler in 61 episodes. However, her first role was actually in a video game, in 1997 in Magic: The Gathering by developer MicroProse.

A tutorial sorceress who explains the game to you
What is her role in the video game? The Magic: The Gathering game developed by MicroProse was a fairly simple adaptation of the well-known card game for PC in 1997. The game also featured a tutorial on the rules presented by two real actors.
They embodied wizards who explained the rules of the card game to you in a live-action video and 90s CGI. One of these wizards is portrayed by Rhea Seehorn. Appropriate to 90s live-action cutscenes, similar to those from Command & Conquer , the acting is also quite exaggerated.
In an interview (via Instagram), Rhea Seehorn talked about the role and explained that with the very low budget they didn’t even have money for real shoes: We played wizards, and the budget was so low that they didn’t have shoes, but they wanted us to look like we were wearing some kind of gladiator wizard boots or something. So we just wore knee socks with tape that we had wrapped around.
If you need a tutorial for Magic yourself, here is the over 20-minute tutorial where you can hardly recognize Rhea Seehorn:

How did Rhea Seehorn’s career progress? Her first live-action role aside from the Magic tutorial was according to IMDb in the series Homicide in 1997, but only for one episode. After that, she regularly had smaller roles, while larger roles appeared in the less known series I´m with Her (2003-2004) or Alex and Whitney – Sex without Marriage (2011-2013).
Her probably most known role before Pluribus was in Better Call Saul between 2015 and 2022. The series also comes from the pen of Vince Gilligan. In 2024, she additionally had a role in the action film Bad Boys: Ride or Die. In the meantime, she also worked as a voice actress, among others in the series Invincible or My Adventures with Superman.
