“In my country, no one plays Pokémon GO”: Trainer plays completely alone but finds help in the community

Tournament winner disqualified in Pokémon GO for celebrating incorrectly, fans could save him now

von Paul Kutzner

Can this challenge be done at all levels?

This is possible at these levels: Those who want to attempt this challenge themselves should pay attention to the corresponding level. While you only need experience points for level ups from level 0 to 40, you must solve various tasks starting from level 40.

Therefore, the ascents from level 43 to 44, level 47 to 48, and level 48 to 49 are especially suitable. In these, you are not dependent on Pokémon, raids, or PokéStops for tasks.

This is how you can easily gather XP: If you also want to gather XP without catching monsters, playing raids, or spinning stops, we recommend using your friends’ gift function.

To do this, you should collect several of them before a friend’s level up and then open their packages one after another in combination with a lucky egg. Especially in the current season Abundant Adventure, you can collect a lot of experience points with such a level up. You can read more about how to do this in the following post:

Players start direct comparison in Cyberpunk 2077 before and after 2.0, showing what they wish for

Fabienne Kissel 26. September 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

On September 21, the free update 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077 was released. Players are now showing what runs better and what they wish for. MeinMMO reveals to you what it’s all about.

Update 2.0 brought a multitude of improvements. The community had been eagerly awaiting this update, hoping for an improvement in the gaming experience. Now that the update is available, players on various platforms are sharing their impressions of what has changed in Night City, what problems the game has, what feels better, and what they still wish for.

Cyberpunk 2077 players share their wishes

What do the players say? On YouTube, Gameinvader uploaded a video that shows a direct comparison of Cyberpunk 2077 before and after update 2.0. Some players are responding to the video and sharing their impressions. They write about what runs better and what they would still wish for.

We have compiled some impressions from Gameinvader here:

Finally, tires can be damaged by gunfire.
You can shoot with weapons while driving a vehicle.
At release, it seemed like there were only a few police officers at first, but as soon as you would have attacked them, suddenly more would spawn right behind you. However, this wouldn’t be the case anymore with 2.0. Now the police would come gradually until they would defeat you.
At release, the character had strange shadows in the water, which would have even gotten worse with patch 2.0.
When climbing ladders (at release time), the character’s hands and head disappeared, which has since been fixed.
Previously, fire caused damage when passing through a car if you drove over it, which wouldn’t happen anymore. However, the character is still immune to fire.
Gameinvader also mentioned a bug where NPCs would die after a punch, which was supposed to be different at release.
He emphasized improvements in NPCs’ reactions to your actions but noted that they are unfortunately still not perfect. They sometimes don’t react at all due to bugs.

Here you can watch the video from Gameinvader:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar3LeXoVE1A&ab_channel=Gameinvader

Under this YouTube video, players share their thoughts and wishes about Cyberpunk 2077. Players comment on the changes in a nuanced way. While some are excited about the progress and emphasize that this is finally the game they expected at release, others continue to voice criticism.

The player garrytalaroc wishes that the developers would invest more in the physics and the interaction of NPCs and AI. In his opinion, this would make the game even more immersive.

Dark2stWhite writes (via Reddit): I wish they would fix the problem: When you have short or no hair and put on a hat, suddenly you have more hair.

Here you can see a comparison between the hairstyle without a hat and with a hat:

Here’s what other players say in the comments under Gameinvader’s video:

Caa129 addresses the issue that Gameinvader also mentions in the video: It’s still disappointing to see that things like citizens not walking around cars have not been fixed.

tobecocontinued436 is excited about 2.0 and shares: The cars sound much better, the gameplay is more fun, the world feels more alive, and the police no longer just appear behind you. This is the Cyberpunk 2077 we should have had from the start, and it will only get better with the DLC in a few days.

Zood94 puts it this way: Cyberpunk 2077 release = early access. Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.0 = release 1.0

The player pw6002 defends Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 and highlights: I love how this game, despite the bugs since its release, has gained a huge fanbase. In my opinion, one of the best games I’ve played in the last ten years. By the way: Many of the things you (Gameinvader) show in your video were already implemented in earlier updates, like the animation when falling out of the car.

Overall, update 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be a step in the right direction to bring the game to the state many had wished for at release.

Gronkh discovers his own signature on eBay, is shocked: „Isn’t that a bit over?“

Sarah 26. September 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In a surprising find, the Twitch streamer Gronkh discovered a unique souvenir from the first Friendly Fire livestream on eBay. It is a signed pair of glasses that was offered for an astonishing 15,000 euros.

What is Friendly Fire? Friendly Fire is an annual charity event that was launched for the first time in 2015. It is a livestream on the Twitch platform that takes place in early December, organized by a group of German YouTubers and streamers.

The initiators of Friendly Fire include personalities such as Gronkh, FisHC0p, MrMoregame, Pandorya, PhunkRoyal, Der Heider, and the five members of PietSmiet: Sep, Peter, Chris, Brammen, and Jay.

How did Friendly Fire 1 go? The very first Friendly Fire livestream took place on December 12, 2015. During the event, a proud 125,000 euros were raised for Gaming Aid e.V., a non-profit organization dedicated to charitable causes in the gaming sector. An impressive 57,000 viewers watched the event at the same time, contributing to the good cause.

Here you can learn more about Friendly Fire:

What has Gronkh learned now? Recently, Gronkh, one of the participants in Friendly Fire, stumbled upon an extremely unexpected discovery on eBay. Starfield fans might have experienced something similar when they discovered unique hardware on the auction platform.

An attentive viewer had alerted him that counterfeit keychains with his logo were being offered on the sales platform. In his typical humorous manner, Gronkh jokingly threatened to involve a lawyer.

However, out of sheer curiosity, when he searched the eBay listings, he stumbled upon a truly unique find.

“Peter’s old glasses” on eBay

What did he discover on eBay? On eBay, a piece from the first Friendly Fire livestream was offered. This extraordinary collectible is described as “a true one-of-a-kind ‘Peter’s old glasses’ ‘The Lore’ from the first Friendly Fire 1”.

It is the glasses case that has been signed by numerous participants of the event. In addition to this unique item, an original “Friendly Fire” hoodie in size XL (sealed) and a Minecraft sword personally signed by Gronkh are also being offered.

For how much euros is this being offered? But the actual sensation lies in the price of this extraordinary collectible. The seller offers it for immediate purchase for 15,000 euros, and price proposals are also accepted.

Gronkh himself was shocked when he discovered this price and could hardly believe that his name was associated with such a high value. He expressed the question: “Isn’t that a bit over?”.

Although he did not remember signing the glasses, he emphasized that the Gronkh signature on the item was authentic.

This reminds us that in 2021 another collectible from Friendly Fire 7 was sold on eBay. This was a life-sized statue of Malenia, Blade of Miquella – a boss that was first shown in the gameplay reveal of Elden Ring. It changed hands for an astonishing 13,000 euros.

Gronkh is known for his charitable endeavors; here you can find another charity event of his: Gronkh makes a fundraising appeal on Twitch, raising over 14,000 € in just 15 minutes

Experienced MMORPG player falls for clever scam: loses everything while streaming live

Schuhmann 26. September 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

A Brazilian streamer was scammed and robbed in the German MMORPG Tibia while live streaming his gameplay. He fell for a clever trick that played on his emotions. The scammer deceived him into believing that the streamer was being accused of misconduct in the official forum of the MMORPG.

This was the situation:

The Brazilian Moutinho was playing the MMORPG Tibia with his level 523 character.
He was streaming his gameplay on “livepix.gg,” a Portuguese-language service where content creators can earn money. He had set a donation goal of 1,000 Brazilian Reais, which is about 190 €.
Suddenly, he received a message.

Scammer pretends to be a guild leader and says: Streamer is in trouble in the forum

This is how the scam worked: The scammer joined the Discord channel the streamer was in and pretended to be one of the leaders of the streamer’s guild by adapting the nickname.

The alleged guild leader then told the streamer that he had behaved incorrectly in Tibia and there was a thread about him in the official Tibia forum. The streamer was said to have harmed someone else in Tibia, causing their death.

Moutinho was encouraged to comment on the accusations in the forum and clear his name.

The alleged guild leader then provided the streamer with a link to the forum thread. However, to see the thread, the player had to log in with their forum account, which simultaneously represents the game account.

The cruel part: The supposed forum link only looked like an official link, but in reality, it led to a duplicate of the forum with all tabs and windows – a pure fake designed to capture the player’s account data.

This was the consequence: The moment the hacker had the streamer’s account data and password, he logged into the streamer’s account and kicked him out of the ongoing game.

Then the scammer deleted all of his characters, preventing the streamer from accessing the account. Quickly, the scammer restored the characters and emptied the streamer’s chars, stealing the best items and the real currency Tibia-Coins.

While the streamer quickly realized something was wrong, by the time he noticed his mistake, he had already been logged out of the account, and it was too late to react.

The Brazilian YouTube channel “Tibia Ferumbrinha,” which reported on the incident, warns: This can happen to anyone, in the game and in real life. What happened to the streamer should serve as a lesson for everyone.

Hack plays cleverly with MMORPG players’ emotions

This is what’s behind it: The hacker takes advantage of some peculiarities of Tibia here. Above all, the fact that the forum account corresponds to the game account is a gateway for such hacks.

Nevertheless, it must be admitted that the hack cleverly plays on emotions: The fact that unjustified public accusations are being made against oneself triggers such a strong emotional reaction that one forgets all caution.

A leaked email shows what Xbox chief Phil Spencer really thinks about AAA gaming

Lydia 26. September 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

In a brutally honest analysis, Xbox head Phil Spencer assessed the role of major publishers in the gaming industry in a leaked email from 2020. The significance of AAA publishers has changed due to services like Steam.

Where does the information come from? In the ongoing legal battle between Microsoft and the American Federal Trade Commission (FTC), countless documents with internal data and emails from Xbox were accidentally released on September 19, 2023. You can find more information about the mega leak from the colleagues at GamePro.

Among other things, plans for the new Xbox and controller were leaked
The release plans for The Elder Scrolls VI were leaked
And it became known how much Xbox spends to get new releases immediately into Game Pass

In addition to such business secrets, emails from Xbox head Phil Spencer were also published, in which he assessed the state of major gaming publishers such as Activision and EA in a brutally open analysis.

The Diminishing Significance of AAA Publishers

What kind of emails are these? The emails are from a correspondence in March 2020 when the Xbox team was preparing for a feedback meeting with the GTA publisher Take-Two. In a memo to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, CFO Amy Hood, former Executive Business Vice President Peggy Johnson, and Marketing Chief Chris Capossela, Spencer discussed the role of AAA publishers in the gaming industry.

How does the Xbox head assess the publishers? According to Spencer, who has over 20 years of experience in the gaming industry, the role of publishers used to mainly consist of securing highly contested shelf space in retail.

AAA publishers could leverage their size to obtain shelf and advertising space that would have been unreachable for individual developers. However, this changed with the rise of digital distribution options, such as Steam or the proprietary stores of Xbox and PlayStation.

As Spencer explains, publishers have slowly adjusted to this change. To avoid fees from various platforms, they introduced their own clients and subscription services, which, however, came too late to become an attractive alternative.

Franchises that had once left Steam returned, and Game Pass became a big hit, while EA Play and Ubisoft+ remained small.

Good for the Gaming Industry, but not for the Publishers

What do the publishers have left? According to Spencer, the remaining advantage of major publishers is their ability to invest more money than anyone else in annual blockbusters. From around 2013, publishers then relied on production scope, according to the Xbox head:

Very few companies can afford to spend the 200 million dollars that Activision or Take-Two invests to place a title like Call of Duty or Red Dead Redemption on the shelves. These AAA publishers have primarily used this production scale to make their top franchises the best-selling games every year.

What is the problem? The problem with the supposed strategy of AAA publishers, according to Spencer, is that this approach undermines their ability to develop new IPs. They have become risk-averse and prefer to build on the successes of franchises that are 10 years old.

To avoid risks, publishers also rely on “rented” intellectual property, such as Star Wars at EA and Spiderman at Sony.

In contrast, successful games like Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, Candy Crush, Clash Royale, and many others have been created by independent studios that had full access to distribution, according to Spencer. This is good for the gaming industry, but puts the AAA publishers in a difficult position.

In the email, Spencer emphasizes that Game Pass can provide these publishers with a lifeline and help them work towards a successful future, instead of pushing them out. This can be accomplished by granting them access to a large user base that they can monetize at their own discretion.

About half a year after this email, Electronic Arts announced that the EA Play subscription service would be integrated into Game Pass at no additional cost.

WoW: One of the hardest achievements took more than a year – Soon you will complete it in a few weeks

Cortyn 26. September 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

The most annoying achievements of World of Warcraft will soon be significantly easier. You save months and even years of time to get a great title.

In World of Warcraft, there are numerous achievements that require a long time to complete. While many of these achievements only need ambition and some hours of “work” at a stretch, others take much longer. Due to weekly limitations, some achievements can even take many months or more than a year – but a number of these achievements will soon be much easier.

This refers to the Ember Court and over a dozen achievements that you can unlock there.

What is the Ember Court? The Ember Court was an endgame feature from Shadowlands and belonged to the Venthyr Covenant from Revendreth. Here, you could invite some guests each week and then try to fulfill their personal wishes at a celebration. While a Lady Vashj loves a celebration with brutality and assassinations, the feathered Mikanikos prefers cleanliness and harmony.

Since the guests have different wishes, it is best to invite visitors with similar interests – or accept that you might not be able to make everyone happy.

In total, there are 16 different visitors, of which only a few come to visit at any time and – if you fulfill their wishes – you will be rewarded with reputation with them.

The catch is that the celebrations at the Ember Court can only take place once a week. Each week at the weekly reset, you can open a new Ember Court and invite new guests.

If you want to obtain all the achievements here, you have to hold the Ember Court for more than a whole year every week – and that also with “planning”, because if you don’t maximize the reputation gain, it will take even longer.

What will change now? In Patch 10.2 Guardian of Dreams, it might not be about the Shadowlands or the Ember Court, but Blizzard has still included a nice “Quality of Life” change in the patch. From now on, the Ember Court can be opened once a day. This reduces the necessary time to achieve all the achievements by almost 85%.

Those who put in the effort can “complete” the Ember Court in a few weeks and earn all rewards, including the cool “Festival Herald” title.

However, you still need to invest enough time, as every day the guests need to be manually invited first and some tasks have to be fulfilled for them to even show up at the party.

von Cortyn

When will it come? There is still no release date for Patch 10.2. However, if Blizzard adheres to the previous release plans for patches, we can expect the patch and the associated changes around the end of October or beginning of November.

Will you travel to the Shadowlands again for the achievements and titles? Or is there nothing that can lure you back there?

The Ember Court was also regarded as particularly difficult by the player who was the first to have 160 reputation factions at exalted.

Cyberpunk 2077: You can easily exclude yourself from the story of Phantom Liberty – Here’s how to avoid it

Sophia Weiss 26. September 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The DLC Phantom Liberty for Cyberpunk 2077 has just been released, and you can dive into the quests around Dog Town. However, you could easily exclude yourself from the entire new main story with the wrong answer early on. We will tell you how to avoid that.

Which quest is it about – without spoilers? At the end of the fourth main quest “Lucretia My Reflection,” you can exclude yourself from the rest of the main story.

Phantom Liberty is a spy thriller that lets you collaborate with the government of the NUSA. Players whose V do not want to collaborate with the government can express this at the end of the fourth main quest.

How do I avoid being excluded? Anyone who answers the question that they do not want to continue will be excluded from the entire remaining main quest line around Dog Town. So, respond that you want to stay on.

More about Phantom Liberty

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty: All information about the release

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty in the Preview Test – The expansion is great, but the real star is Update 2.0

Take the red pill if you want to play Phantom Liberty

Spoiler Warning: From here on, there are spoilers for the first four quests of Phantom Liberty.

Which part of the quest is it exactly? In the quest “Lucretia My Reflection,” President Myers sends you to the previously unknown Dog Town. There you are supposed to meet a so-called sleeper and bring him to her. “Sleepers” are agents who lead entirely normal lives until they are “activated” for a specific mission.

To officially make your commitment to her and the government, Myers quickly hires you as a new agent of her intelligence service. At first, you have no chance to decline this if you or your V have no desire for government work.

Once you have brought these two together, it’s time to be careful!

Once you are back at headquarters with sleeper Solomon Reed, your hour strikes: At the end of his conversation with Myers, Reed asks you if you want to continue. You have three dialogue options.

More about the story of Phantom Liberty can be read in our preview test:

What are the consequences? If you chose the third option, Solomon will only contact you once more. After that, his phone will be deactivated. However, without his callback, you cannot continue the main story and are excluded from the rest of the narrative.

This, however, does not affect your access to Dog Town or the availability of side missions. So, you can still expand your Relic advantage tree, serve the local fixers, and unlock new iconic weapons.

How do you avoid exclusion? Simply choose one of the first two answer options, even if it goes against your previous playstyle. After that, you should be able to choose freely again without undermining your progress.

Have you started your journey in Phantom Liberty yet? If you are starting a new or even your first run, we have here for you the most important story decisions for starting the base game.

Schwarzenegger declines the lead role in one of the best action movies, regrets it to this day: “I love this movie”

Jasmin Beverungen 26. September 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Arnold Schwarzenegger has had a busy acting career. He was so popular that he had to decline some roles due to a lack of time. However, there is one declined role that he particularly regrets, as Schwarzenegger loves the movie.

Which movie is it? Arnold Schwarzenegger was supposed to play the lead role in The Rock, which was released in 1996.

The British spy John Patrick Mason (Sean Connery) has stolen a secret film revealing the truth about the Kennedy assassination
He is imprisoned in Alcatraz and wants to escape
Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris) takes hostages in Alcatraz and threatens to shell San Francisco with rockets if he does not receive 100 million dollars
The USA sends a team with Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) to defuse the rockets
Mason and Goodspeed must join forces to stop the threat

The film had a budget of 75 million dollars and grossed 335 million dollars worldwide. In addition to its financial success, the reviews were favorable, on IMDb the film reached 7.4 out of 10 stars.

The trailer can be seen on the Moviedinho YouTube channel:

Link to the YouTube content

Why did Arnold Schwarzenegger decline the role? In a reddit forum, the actor answered many questions from fans. To the question, which role Schwarzenegger would regret declining the most, he replied the following:

The thing I regret the most is that I didn’t do The Rock. I love the movie, and it turned out well. When it was offered to me, there was only an 80-page script with many handwritten notes and scribbles, and it didn’t seem fully developed. But they obviously did a fantastic job.

The script contained scribbled notes like “This is nonsense” or “We are not doing this.” This led Schwarzenegger to suspect that the production process would be complete chaos, which is why he declined the role.

Schwarzenegger regrets the most having turned down this film. He would have been interested in working with the film’s director, Michael Bay, at least once. So far, he has never worked with him, but only with other directors like James Cameron for Terminator 2.

Schwarzenegger’s Decline Helped Other Acting Colleagues

Who is seen in the film instead? In the lead roles of the film are now Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage. For Sean Connery, it was one of the last films he participated in during his career.

For Nicolas Cage, the film counts as one of the most successful films of his career, and he must be glad he was able to land the role in this action movie. He continues to work on numerous films and even on video games like Dead by Daylight.

Thus, The Rock unfortunately does not fall under the films in which Arnold Schwarzenegger was able to participate. However, aside from that, he has been involved in many great films. You have told MeinMMO which your top 5 favorite films with Arnold Schwarzenegger are:

Prosthetics are getting better – How close are we to cyberware from Cyberpunk 2077?

Benedikt Schlotmann 26. September 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In Cyberpunk 2077, you can install various cyberware to enhance your performance. But how does this compare to our real world?

In the story of Cyberpunk 2077, cybernetic implants are widespread. In the game, the cyberware system is the best way to upgrade your character: As you can either become significantly stronger and more powerful or integrate advantages in hacking. Clothing plays (almost) no role anymore for the values.

But how does it compare to the real world? While we may not yet be integrating implants that allow us to see through walls or hack computers, we have made great strides in recent years.

Already, state-of-the-art prosthetics are being used, but primarily for medical reasons

Where are we in the real world? Today, powerful robotic prosthetics are being developed, some of which are even connected to the brain and can be controlled like organic limbs. With bionic prosthetics, the goal is primarily to replace lost body parts like arms and legs and to help injured individuals lead a normal life.

The majority of prosthetics are used for medical reasons to restore normal functional levels. For instance, a boy received a robotic hand made from a 3D printer so he wouldn’t have to hide his malformed hand anymore.

In Cyberpunk 2077, you install cyberware into your own body to achieve superhuman levels, to be stronger than your opponents, or to hack into computer systems.

Such functions do not exist for us, but the military has long been experimenting with large exoskeletons. They hope for improved endurance and more strength. Students have developed an exoskeleton to make walking easier and faster.

Research is not only interested in compensating for disabilities but also in providing advantages that users can benefit from in the long term.

EA FC 24: Is it not possible to set 4 minutes in Squad Battles? The puzzle is solved

Max Handwerk 26. September 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

EA Sports FC 24 is supposed to bring Squad Battles with 4 minutes, but players are searching in vain for the setting. However, the solution is simple.

What is the problem? In the new features for Ultimate Team in EA Sports FC, EA announced that Squad Battles this year would have only 4-minute halves instead of 6-minute halves.

However, players were puzzled: When starting a Squad Battles match, the start screen before the game still shows 6 minutes. There is no option to change the setting.

But that’s actually not necessary.

Incorrect display in Squad Battles, but the 4 minutes are correct

This is the solution: In fact, you don’t need to worry about the setting for the game time because the halves in Squad Battles already run for only 4 minutes, all automatically.

So you don’t need to set anything. The 6 minutes on the match start screen appear to simply be an incorrect representation.

What are Squad Battles? Here you play against the AI instead of real opponents. You can set the difficulty yourself. In the matches, you gather points to secure rewards on the weekend. Additionally, some objectives require you to play Squad Battles.

When the Squad Battles rewards come, you can find out here.

How can I check this? If you want to check how the half-length is on your end, just start a stopwatch at the kickoff. If you now pay attention to having no interruptions from cutscenes (e.g., during goals, throw-ins, fouls, etc.), you will come to exactly 4 minutes per half.

Why is the half-length important? Players have been calling for a streamlining of the Squad Battles matches for a long time, as many like to use them to get rewards. Especially when you play against the AI, such games can take a very long time.

This could be a thing of the past with the shorter half. Additionally, only 32 matches per week are counted towards the reward leaderboard, instead of 40 like before.

New farming game on Steam shows what happens when Stardew Valley meets horror

Linda Knabe 26. September 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Coinciding with the start of the dark season, a new farming game will be released at the beginning of October on Steam, perfect for relaxing on rainy days. However, this new game brings a twist that also fits perfectly into the Spooky Season.

What kind of game is it? Harvest Island is a farming game by indie developer Yobob and is being released on October 10, 2023, on Steam.

With an interesting concept, Harvest Island stands out from the vast selection of farming simulators. Because here, you can expect a creepy twist. As the developer promises, it is by no means a copy of the popular title Stardew Valley, but a farming game that largely focuses on its story.

The various farming mechanics therefore take a more supportive role, as the focus in Harvest Island is on exploration.

We have embedded the release trailer here for you:

Harvest Island Trailer

Autoplay

What can you expect in Harvest Island? The game follows the story of two siblings living with their father on a remote island, where they carry out their farming tasks and sacrifice their harvests to the gods.

In addition to managing their daily tasks, the two siblings explore the island and leave their safe farm. But outside their farm, mysteries and secrets await them.

The game promises you classic features of a farming simulator:

Collect various items that you find on the island
Catch various fish and sea creatures
Craft tools that will help you with exploration
Grow crops and harvest them
Take care of goats, sheep, and cows

Steam: Even the bad reviews praise the fantastically terrible atmosphere in this new horror game

von Niko Hernes

If you are looking for more thrills, leave your farm and set out to explore the island:

Offer to the gods to receive mercy
Explore the island even at night to find new areas
Become friends with wild animals
The island constantly changes and reveals new paths

What does the trailer show? Harvest Island promises you a creepy experience as you set out to explore the island. The trailer shows you dark paths, bloody writings, dilapidated ruins, abandoned places, and mutilated animals.

Although the trailer initially resembles Stardew Valley with its charming pixel graphics, it visibly stands out with these images. The horror aspect is particularly evident here and could be a convincing point for anyone not wanting just another traditional farming experience.

The entire horror aspect is emphasized by the recurring text I want to get away from Harvest Island, indicating that one is trying to escape the mysterious island.

What do you think of this concept? Could Harvest Island score with its twist, or would you prefer another relaxed farming game? Feel free to discuss.

Another farming game focuses on sustainability and community and aims to stand out:

„You have datamined our secret cinematic“- The companions of Baldur’s Gate 3 as a „Friends“ sitcom

Cortyn 26. September 2023 Reading time < 1 minutes

Baldur’s Gate 3 as a funny sitcom? How well that works is proven by a user on X who has quickly created an intro for it.

The origin characters from Baldur’s Gate 3 have quickly won the hearts of most players. Whether you embody them yourself or have them as NPC companions in the group and try to start a romance with them – they have interesting stories and are simply entertaining personalities.

Some fans therefore find it easy to imagine the crew from Baldur’s Gate 3 in a completely different setting – for example, in a sitcom.

The X user Sho took the effort to overlay various sequences from Baldur’s Gate with the intro music of the sitcom “FRIENDS” – and it works surprisingly well:

Even the makers of Larian like this idea. Michael Douse, the Director of Publishing at Larian Studios, reacted on X (formerly Twitter) and jokingly said about this Friends idea:

I can’t believe they datamined our original opening cinematic.

In another post he added “fantastic work”.

In fact, it is quite easy to imagine the colorful origin characters in a sitcom. After all, they are all quite different personalities, and it takes little imagination to picture Karlach bursting into a room in a clichéd way, or the arrogant Astarion, who always throws in his dark comments from the background.

Starfield: 5 of the best planets and moons to build an outpost

Dariusz Müller 26. September 2023 Reading time 4 minutes

Starfield offers a huge selection of various planets and moons where you can build an outpost. We show you 5 of the best.

In Starfield, you can build an outpost and set up your own vacation home, place workbenches, and then manufacture various items or extract resources.

Building an outpost is indeed a worthwhile part of the gameplay in Starfield – so the choice of the planet where you want to establish your outpost is all the more important.

For our finalists, we traveled to most of the planets and moons in Starfield and examined them ourselves. The following made the cut:

Andraphon
Voss
Cassiopeia I
Porrima IV-d
Eridani II

We will now briefly show you all 5 planets and moons in detail and explain why they are so good.

Are you looking for a strong ship to travel to these planets? Then we have the right video for you:

Start video

Starfield: How to get one of the best spaceships early!

Andraphon

What makes the planet so good? Andraphon is a moon of the planet Sumati in the Narion system and particularly suitable as a first outpost, as it provides three resources necessary for many structures.

When you build an outpost, you need especially a lot of aluminum and iron. Additionally, if you supply your extractors with power from a generator, having a supply of Helium-3 is advantageous.

On Andrapho, you have the chance to extract both Helium-3 and iron and aluminum. You can also find the valuable Europium there.

Voss

What makes the planet so good? Voss is also a very good location for an outpost at the beginning and an ideal complement to Andraphon. Voss is the moon of Olivas in the “Alpha Centauri” system, which you will frequently visit during the main story.

Voss is a recommended outpost location as it also offers a good selection of important resources that are not available on Andraphon. In addition to nickel, cobalt, and uranium, tungsten is also present on the moon. There are also vanadium and dysprosium, which you can sell for a relatively high price.

Cassiopeia I

What makes the planet so good? Unlike Andraphon and Voss, we do not recommend Cassiopeia I because you can dig up useful resources there. Cassiopeia is particularly distinguished by its flora and fauna.

On the planet, you will find various living beings and plants and can walk on the planet’s surface without having to wear your helmet – perfect for your interstellar vacation home.

However, to ensure your outpost on Cassiopeia I is not just a useless holiday destination, you can also extract nickel, cobalt, and fluorine there.

Porrima IV-d

What makes the planet so good? We recommend Porrima IV-d as a mining outpost where you can earn money, as you can extract the valuable resources carbonic acid, neon, and especially plutonium on the moon of Porrima IV-d.

On Porrima IV-d, you also don’t have to worry about extraterrestrial creatures attacking your outpost: there is no fauna.

A plutonium farm on Porrima IV-d is also one of our 5 tips on how to earn money quickly and legally in Starfield.

von Dariusz Müller

von Karsten Scholz

Eridani II

What makes the planet so good? Eridani 2 is not only a beautiful planet with moderate flora and fauna, it combines the qualities of a decent vacation home with some useful resources.

In addition to iron, which is needed for building an outpost and manufacturing many resources, the planet offers copper, nickel, cobalt, and the relatively valuable gold in Starfield.

You can also explore the planet without a helmet and swim in clean water without worrying about your health.

If that’s not enough: Eridani 2 is in Halo the human-inhabited planet “Reach”.

Pokémon GO reveals the Pokémon for the Community Day in October 2023

Franzi Korittke 26. September 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

One of the most popular events in Pokémon GO is the monthly Community Day. Now the developers have revealed the next monster in this format. We at MeinMMO will show you which one it will be and what bonuses you can look forward to.

What event is it about? In Pokémon GO, a so-called Community Day is held every month, during which a specific monster can be found more frequently in the wild for several hours. The Shiny rate is also increased, and additional bonuses are active.

After the first announcement of the upcoming C-Day was accidentally made yesterday, on September 25, by the X-account of Pokémon GO India and quickly deleted, it is now official: The Community Day in October brings you Praktibalk. We have summarized the additional contents for you below.

When will the C-Day in October take place? The Community Day in October will take place on October 15, 2023, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Update from September 26 at 09:10 AM: The contents for the Community Day in October are now officially known, which is why we have revised the article for you accordingly.

All bonuses for the Community Day with Praktibalk

During the Community Day with Praktibalk, you can look forward not only to plenty of spawns of the small fighting Pokémon, but also to one or another bonus.

All bonuses that are active between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM:

3x Stardust when catching
Double candy when catching
Double chance of XL candy when catching (from Level 31)
Incense and Lure Modules last 3 hours (except Adventure Incense)
Surprises from snapshots
Event field research with Praktibalk
Event stickers at PokéStops or from gifts

All bonuses you can use until 10:00 PM:

one additional special trade (up to 2 on that day)
half Stardust costs when trading

Exclusive move: As with every Community Day, there will also be an exclusive move in October. If you evolve Strepoli, the first evolution of Praktibalk, into Meistagrif, it will learn the Dark Charge Move Wirbler. This causes the following damage:

Trainer battles: 65
Raids and Gym battles: 65

Premium content: In addition to the free bonuses of the event, you can also secure additional content in the in-game shop. The following will be available there:

Ticket for the special research Muscle Memories with Praktibalk for about 1 Euro
Event stickers for the Community Day

Special Level 4 Raids

What are those raids: Following the C-Day, there will also be special Level 4 Raids where you can encounter Strepoli. However, unlike most others, these raids can only be played on-site. This way, you can not only secure the raid boss but also earn a spawn bonus.

What bonus is that? After defeating Strepoli, you will receive additional Praktibalk spawns around the gym for 30 minutes. The shiny rate for these is just as high as on the actual Community Day.

When do the raids take place? The raids will take place on October 15 from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

Is Praktibalk worth it?

Is Praktibalk strong? Yes, a Community Day with Praktibalk is likely to please many trainers since it has a strong evolution in Meistagrif. With a moveset consisting of Counter and Wuchtschlag, Meistagrif is one of the best fighting attackers in Pokémon GO.

Is there Shiny Praktibalk? Yes, with a bit of luck, you may encounter a shiny Praktibalk on that day. Based on experience, the chance is particularly high. In the following image, you can see what the shinies look like.

How do you like the content from the Community Day in October? Which bonus are you particularly looking forward to? Feel free to let us know here at MeinMMO in the comments and discuss with other trainers.

In the coming weeks, a lot is happening in Pokémon GO. We will show you all events in October and which are worth it.

Patrick Freese 26. September 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the Spotlight Hour with Fukano takes place today, September 26th. We are showing you all the information about the Shiny, the start, and the bonus of the event.

What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday in Pokémon GO, a so-called Spotlight Hour takes place. For you as players, this means that from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, a selected Pokémon will be activated along with a bonus. You will see the Pokémon much more frequently during this time, and the bonus, consisting of more stardust, candies, or experience points, provides an additional incentive.

In today’s event, you will encounter a Pokémon from the first generation. We will show you everything you need to know in the overview.

Spotlight Hour on September 26th – Start, Bonuses, Shiny

When does it start? As you may know from these events, the Spotlight Hour also starts today at 6:00 PM local time. It is active for one hour and ends at 7:00 PM.

What bonuses are active? In the wild, you will encounter Fukano very frequently. If you want, you can also ignite a incense to attract even more specimens.

During the event, you will receive double the amount of stardust for catching Pokémon. Even if you don’t necessarily need Fukano in your collection, you can still fill your dust resources.

Here you can see an outlook on the events next month:

Is today’s Spotlight Hour worth it? As attackers in raids or PvP, Fukano and its evolution Arcanine don’t play a major role. However, stardust is an important resource to strengthen all Pokémon. You can never have “too much” of it. So, make use of the event to catch a lot of stardust. Remember that the catch bonus applies not only to Fukano catches but also to all catches.

How do you like today’s Spotlight Hour? Is this an event to your taste or will you only participate again next month?

One of the most popular characters in Baldur’s Gate 3 is causing a stir: “Should never have been a companion”

Fabienne Kissel 26. September 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In Baldur’s Gate 3, there is an option to recruit Halsin into your group. However, some players are disappointed with him, wishing for a deeper exploration of his character and more companions.

Warning Spoiler: The article contains spoilers about Halsin, a character from Act 1 of the game, but also touches on content from Act 2 and Act 3.

Who is Halsin? In Baldur’s Gate 3, you can recruit Halsin as a companion in your group. He is a powerful druid who can play a unique role in the story of the game.

However, some players argue that Halsin’s character development could have been much more than it actually was.

Start video

5 helpful tips for Baldur’s Gate 3

Players are disappointed with Halsin, wishing for more character depth and other companions

What do the players say? Reddit user TheEndOfShartache posted on Reddit expressing the view that Halsin should never have become part of the group.

He emphasizes that Halsin’s original conception seemed to suggest that he would be better off as a background companion (in the camp) or as a secondary companion. He is a cool character, but the spot of the party druid is already occupied by Jaheira.

He additionally adds:

It seems a bit strange to have two druid companions but no bard, monk, or wizard. I can imagine that this was Halsin’s original intent until he became a fan favorite during Early Access along with Minthara (who at least is a different class than all the others). I really like Halsin’s character, but I wish we had at least one more other companion to provide some variety.
TheEndOfShartache via Reddit

He emphasizes that Halsin is a cool character. However, he thinks that Halsin deserved more for Act 3 than just being creepy, hitting on someone, and maybe being captured.

In this context, he underscores:

[…] Obviously, he was supposed to be a summoning [an ally] for the final fight, but instead, they made him a mediocre companion.[…]
TheEndOfShartache via Reddit

Other players have posted the following comments under his Reddit post:

sonic260 writes: That he is a group member is not the problem, he needs to be more fleshed out as a character.[…]
soledad630 emphasizes: He was basically made into a potential group member because people were craving him during Early Access. […] His dialogue options are not great compared to others. At this point, I would say they need to add more content focused on him instead.
Icy_Outside2687 believes that Alfira should have been a companion: Halsin is fine. He should have been granted more shine, just like Minthara.[…] Alfira should have also been a party member and is a strange waste of a unique design and a missed opportunity to implement an unused class for the main team.[…]
