A player of Diablo 4 hoped he could improve his items and spent a lot of gold. Now, not only is he broke, but he is also disappointed.
In Diablo 4, one of the main goals is to constantly improve your equipment. The eternal grind for special items, leveling up, and farming gold and materials is accordingly an important part of the game principle.
Some of your equipment items can even be upgraded or re-rolled at certain NPCs to ideally become stronger. However, as a player recently showed on Reddit, this can backfire.

Diablo 4: Merchants are more useful than you think
Why did the player spend so much gold? The Reddit user Hampton_89 wanted a specific enchantment and got angry because he didn’t get it.
Then Hampton_89 had the item re-rolled by an Occultist for gold in the hope of getting the desired enchantment.
However, with each re-roll, the costs rise, and ultimately he reported having spent 110 million gold, yet did not get the desired enchantment. To make matters worse, he was broke afterwards and had no gold left.

A Diablo 4 player shares how he spent 110 million gold and was disappointed, via Reddit.
How does the community react? In the comments section of the Reddit post, many players share their thoughts on the re-roll system. One says you earn gold in Diablo 4 much slower than in Diablo 3 and moreover, the re-roll costs have doubled in comparison.
Another player emphasizes that he doesn’t like spending an entire week farming specific equipment with desired affixes, spending thousands of materials and millions of gold to test a build that looks fun, only to find out that it isn’t fun. He is frustrated by how “anti-experimentation” the game is.
There are also some users who had similar experiences as the post’s author and shared in the comments. Some recount re-rolling items until the costs become too high. In general, the system seems to cause a lot of frustration and dissatisfaction.
If you are also broke in Diablo 4, find out on MeinMMO how to get gold as quickly as possible:
The former Overwatch professional Félix “xQc” Lengyel has long been at the top of Twitch and is considered one of the biggest streamers worldwide. In a YouTube video, he is portrayed as a creepy creature possessed by wealth and reach.
What kind of video is this? The YouTuber Hunter August Hancock posts animated video parodies of cartoon characters, online phenomena, or Twitch streamers under the name MeatCanyon.
A recent video parodies the former Overwatch professional Félix “xQc” Lengyel. It depicts the streamer as a kind of goblin crouching on his desk chair producing reaction content. As his housekeepers try to steal from him, the creature hunts them down. He particularly targets their eyes, which seems to be a metaphor for the all-powerful “views”.
The video contains numerous allusions that make it easy to identify the subject of the parody:
What did xQc say about his animated likeness? The streamer took the matter humorously. Right at the beginning, he had to admit: That’s pretty accurate. Furthermore, the streamer laughed at appropriate moments and made a few fitting comments like “What?” and “Jesus”.
However, it seemed that the 27-year-old was not fully aware of the irony that he is reacting to a video that mocks his reaction streams. Also, the pitying look that the housekeeper gives the creature seems to miss its mark somewhat.
The entire video, including xQc’s reaction, is embedded here for you:

Additionally, xQc seems to be quite determined to take the criticism of his reactions to heart. Critics have accused the streamer of profiting from the content of others and contributing very little himself.
At the end of his reaction, he encourages his viewers to leave a like, activate notifications, and do the “other thing,” whatever that may be. Perhaps he wants to give credit to the creators of the content he reacts to.
Meanwhile, the public feud with Adept, xQc’s ex-girlfriend, seems to have no end. In a kind of online therapy, the streamer recently spoke about the relationship. Apparently, he felt that his partner was only interested in his money:
The new MMO project Cornucopias shows you beautiful and realistic landscapes in its first trailer and promises to be a visual success. It features “Space Shuttle” racing as a refreshing element.
What is it about? The Earth’s surface has become virtually uninhabitable for humans in the future. Twelve scientists have found the solution in Cornucopias to ensure the survival of humanity.
Through the newly discovered technology that allows for the use of “anti-gravity”, the idea for “Sky Domes” was born. These hover above the Earth’s atmosphere, and within them, 12 different zones have been created, inspired by various cultures and periods of world history.
This new world is just in its beginnings, and its inhabitants are still trying to find their place in it. Join this task and try to find your place in Cornucopias.
When will it be released? Currently, there is no release date. However, you can sign up for the official game test (via cornucopias.io).

Cornucopia’s MMO Project Trailer
What does the trailer show? The first trailer for this project primarily showcases the landscapes of Cornucopias. They not only look beautiful but also very realistic. This project promises to be a real eye-catcher visually.
In the various areas, you can observe people primarily engaging in sports activities. It seems you can pass the time in Cornucopias with jogging, canoeing, or hot air ballooning.
You will also get a very brief glimpse of the battles that will play a role as well. Whether these are serious or whether they are also intended as fun activities for people is not clear from the short excerpt.
The trailer highlights the racing sports feature. In various “Space Shuttles”, you can prove your speed and skill behind the wheel against each other.
What do you think of this concept and do you hope to see more in the future?

In Pokémon GO you can finally earn a second Master Ball. But a task from the special research is not well received by many trainers. Is Niantic asking too much of you?
How do you get the Master Ball? Since September 1, 2023, you have a chance to unlock a second Master Ball in Pokémon GO. This is linked to a Timed Research with one chapter and many different challenges.
One of them sparks many discussions.
60 Raids for the Master Ball
What does the task involve? You need to catch 1,000 Pokémon, hatch 30 eggs, complete 150 field research tasks, and earn 100,000 Stardust, among other things. Another task is “Win 60 Raids.” Many trainers are particularly upset about this. We show you the overview of all tasks for the Timed Research “Master Ball” here. You have until November 21 at 8:00 PM to complete the tasks.
For players who regularly participate in local raids or also enjoy remote raids, 60 Raids may not be that much. But for trainers who live far from gyms and do not want to spend money on remote raid passes, it’s a task that will hold them back for a long time. Thus, obtaining the second Master Ball will be delayed even further.
Reddit user targaryen0125 asked the community if the task is not simply “insane” (via Reddit.com). The answer with the most upvotes comes from user Efram. It says:
This is probably the [task] that will block me. I don’t often have the time to run to the next gym to do a raid, and I surely won’t buy 60 remote passes.
But considering the other tasks… that doesn’t seem unreasonable or unfair. Honestly, I’m surprised at how well I’m doing with the fabulous throws.
Other trainers give tips and explain that you can simply complete the level 1 raids alone. Because the difficulty level of the battles does not matter for completing the task.
Now it’s your turn: Do you think the task is too annoying or can you easily master the 60 raids?
Vote in our poll and feel free to explain here at MeinMMO why you think that.
In the coming days, there are still some events in the game for you. We have put together an overview of all events in September 2023 in Pokémon GO for you. This way, you can already note important dates in your calendar.

In Starfield there are numerous planets, but only a few of them are inhabited and invite exploration. This creates boredom in space for some fans. However, Bethesda now explains why most planets are empty.
Some planets, such as the gas planets, cannot even be targeted. However, many fans consider this to be sensible. After all, one cannot land on real gas planets because they do not have a solid surface to land on.
In an interview with the New York Times (via vg247.com), Cheng explains that not every planet is supposed to be “Disney World”. Bethesda aims to create a feeling of how small humanity is compared to space with the empty planets.
A similarly overwhelming feeling is expected to arise when a human explores the vastness of space in reality. The astronauts who have set foot on the moon certainly did not get bored, Cheng says.
You can admire the world of Starfield in the following trailer:

Starfield – Official Gameplay Trailer
Game Director and Executive Producer Todd Howard adds that Bethesda could have alternatively designed only four different cities on four different planets. However, this would not make players feel like explorers.
The emptiness of the planets is also meant to create a feeling of loneliness among players. After all, space in reality is just as empty. And this feeling can only be created by having many empty planets.
By contrast, this means that only a few planets are worth visiting. MyMMO has listed six planets that are worth a detour.
This includes Earth, which in Starfield is just a barren planet without flora and fauna. Nevertheless, the visit is worthwhile because the history behind the planet is so interesting, and everyone should see what has become of Earth.
If you do not want to deal further with the empty planets, that is no problem: Exploring these celestial bodies is completely optional. You can invest your time better in the areas that interest you in Starfield.
The fifth hotfix for Baldur’s Gate 3 is live. The update brings many changes to gameplay, story scenes, and more. Minthara is now finally more talkative, and numerous dialogue lines have been unlocked. We at MeinMMO will tell you what’s inside.
The fifth hotfix for Baldur’s Gate 3 is finally available and brings a wealth of improvements and fixes for the game. The update focuses particularly on the experience of players who have chosen a romance with the companion Minthara.
Previously, a bug blocked parts of Minthara’s dialogues and the reactions of group members to this relationship.
Players who opted for Minthara had to deal with restrictions and missing dialogue lines. But that is now a thing of the past.

What hotfix 5 improves in Baldur’s Gate 3
This update adds thousands of missing dialogue lines from Minthara that should have been in the game from the start. If your approval is high enough, you can now continue your romance with Minthara in the third act and gain further insights into Minthara’s backstory.
In addition to the corrections related to Minthara, this hotfix also addresses several issues that occurred specifically in the PS5 version of the game.
These include graphics problems and sound issues that have been fixed. Furthermore, numerous gameplay bugs have been eliminated to make the gaming experience smoother.
You can find the complete English patch notes here:
Highlight
Fixed a bug that locked players out of many of Minthara’s lines of dialogue.
Crashes and Blockers
Fixed sometimes not being able to talk to NPCs or party members because the game thought you were still in a dialogue.
Fixed a rare crash that would occur when faraway characters got close to the party.
Fixed a crash that would occur if a guard responding to a crime created a summon (e.g., an elemental), and you fled the combat or were incapacitated without killing the summon.
PS5
Fixed an issue causing the game’s audio to stop working on PS5.
Fixed graphical issues on HDR TVs when the HDR black level calibration was set to 0.
Fixed a crash that would occur when opening the onscreen keyboard.
Performances
Fixed a memory leak when creating and destroying many objects.
Multiplayer
Improved performance when cycling through Character Sheet tabs in splitscreen.
Fixed splitscreen not working correctly when a client with splitscreen already enabled joins a multiplayer game.
Fixed dismissed avatars not showing up properly in Withers’ Wardrobe if the host is at camp and is already looking inside the wardrobe.
Fixed characters sometimes disappearing on splitscreen when the client reconnects after disconnecting while listening in on a dialogue.
Clients rejoining a multiplayer game where there’s a dismissed avatar in Withers’ Wardrobe will now be able to pick that avatar up again rather than have to create a new avatar. (This bug would happen when the client left the session and another player selected that client’s avatar in the middle of the dismiss-to-camp dialogue.)
Caution Spoiler: Flow and Gameplay
Trader NPCs will now retain their Approval Rating of avatars and companions even after they’re dismissed to Withers’ Wardrobe.
Fixed the Emperor not dying and therefore not triggering the Game Over flow if you bring him to 0 HP outside of combat in the Astral Plane.
Fixed not being able to talk to Minthara at camp if you dismissed her outside of camp.
Fixed Level Up not working as expected if you level up while the game is saving.
Fixed Hag’s Bane not having an effect on Auntie Ethel.
UI
Fixed text being cut off in the title of tutorial pop-ups.
Fixed button prompts getting cut off on the Multiplayer Settings screen on splitscreen.
Fixed some UIs not updating when saving, causing, for example, Shadowheart’s inventory to appear empty when you recruit her on the beach.
Fixed the tadpole count in the Radial Menu on controller.
Controller
Fixed characters getting stuck when the Analog Stick Selection setting is set to Left Stick and you rotate the stick in circles as far as it can go.
Caution Spoiler: Art
Added nipple covers to Cazador’s spawn for when the nudity filter is enabled.
Level Design
Moved Withers’ Wardrobe in the crèche camp to avoid clipping with Shadowheart’s tent.
Co-streaming LEC matches in League of Legends is always a bit of a thing. In the LEC and other areas, simultaneous streaming is not well received, and you need to get permission from the official side. However, 2 of the biggest German LoL streamers are now allowed to stream the LEC final.
Who is involved? As the official LEC Twitter account posted, Frederik NoWay Hinteregger will stream the LEC final on September 9th and 10th. The LEC is the largest European professional league in League of Legends. Special guest Niklot Tolkin Stüber has been announced, who will join NoWay in the stream.
The two streamers are well-known figures in the German LoL scene.

When can I watch the stream? On September 9th and 10th around 6 PM, both games will also be available to watch on NoWay’s Twitch channel. On Saturday, Fnatic will play against MAD Lions for the spot in the final on Sunday. The winner on Saturday will then face G2 Esports in the final.
The qualification for Worlds doesn’t look good for Europe:
Whether more co-streamers will join in Germany or other countries is still unknown. However, the fact that big streamers are now allowed to stream the matches is likely to lead to a larger viewership.
In Korea, the same faces are often seen on the midlane at Worlds:
Patch 10.1.7: Incarnation of Wrath is live in World of Warcraft. We will discuss the new features and tell you what you should take care of immediately.
Players in World of Warcraft are not given a long break. After Update 10.1.5 went live a few weeks ago, the Patch 10.1.7 Incarnation of Wrath has now followed. The patch has been live since this morning (06.09.2023) and offers some new content.
We will reveal to you which content you should check out and what new experiences await.
All Highlights of Patch 10.1.7: Incarnation of Wrath
Start video
WoW: New cinematic shows why night elves have to worry about their home again
Play the main questline: In Valdrakken, the main questline of the patch begins with the night elf Shandris Feathermoon. Although it is quite short, it already gives an idea of the content that will come in the next patch. With some cutscenes and even an exciting cinematic, the quest sets the stage for what will likely be the next highlight of Dragonflight in a few weeks.
Experience dream surges: Every week, a different area of Dragonflight is affected by “Dreamsurges”. Rare enemies in this area become reinforced, there are powerful buffs, and a new currency for different rewards. This ranges from mounts and pets to twink gear and even wyrm badges to upgrade equipment.
Since the rewards are still part of “Season 2” of Dragonflight, experienced characters should not expect a large power gain here. However, the dream surges are also perfect for leveling a second character as the bonuses are active even below level 70.
Traditional armor for night elves and undead: For the forsaken and night elves, there is a new questline with a strong story. Here, not only is there a lot of new and interesting lore about the two races, but also at the end, the traditional armor for night elves and undead. So if you play characters of these races, you should complete the questlines as soon as possible to secure the cool transmog.
Patch 10.1.7 is a “small” patch – but offers many new contents.
Visit the mega dungeon on “heroic”: If you haven’t had time to check out the mega dungeon “Twilight of the Eternal”, now is the time. With Patch 10.1.7, the dungeon has also been unlocked on heroic difficulty. It is significantly easier here than the mythic variant and allows for easy access to solid loot while also battling some of the most exciting bosses of Dragonflight – not to mention that the dungeon’s story is also exciting.
Set up ping system: A new feature is the ping system, which allows you to quickly communicate commands to your group members. Take a good look at the ping system and learn to use it. With just one keystroke, you can warn about additional enemies or select a focus target. This feature will likely bring many advantages in random groups, so you don’t have to frantically type in chat.
Draenei quest coming soon: Additionally, there is a new questline that allows you to unlock Man’ari Eredar customization for the Draenei. However, this quest will only be unlocked next Wednesday (13.09.2023).
What else is in the patch? Patch 10.1.7 has some additional features that will come into play in the coming weeks and months. For example, the Brewfest and Hallow’s End have been enhanced with new rewards, new quests, and revamped boss fights. A new dragon riding event in the Eastern Kingdoms is also in the works. However, these events will only take place in the coming weeks and thus cannot be played directly yet.
In addition, there are a few secrets, such as the “old” Scarlet Monastery. The WoW community is currently trying to figure out how to unlock it.
What comes next? It won’t be long before Blizzard reveals Patch 10.2 and also unveils the next raid and the new area. It seems clear that it will go to the emerald dream – as indicated not only by the questline from the current patch but also by data mining from the Dragonflight beta.
The games from Bethesda often allow you to take companions with you, whom you can get closer to – as is the case in Starfield. You should quickly convince a companion of your physical and emotional benefits, otherwise you will miss out on a strong buff.
The new sci-fi RPG Starfield makes the hearts of Bethesda fans beat faster. You should also try this with your companions.
Because when you go to sleep, you get a solid bonus of 10% on your collected XP. But if you sleep with someone, the bonus increases to a whopping 15%.
Which companions can be wrapped around your finger and how to get the buff, we explain to you here on MeinMMO.

How do you get the buff? It’s quite simple, you just need to find a usable bed and sleep for at least an hour. This secures you the “well rested” buff and gives 10% extra XP for 24 minutes.
If you have seduced one of your companions, you will get the buff just the same. But instead of 10%, the XP bonus goes up to 15%, also for 24 minutes. Lie down in bed while you are with the companion.
Additionally, the NPCs give you a cheeky line after the love act. One companion, for example, says that she likes to try “wild” things, but the jetpacks were a bit too much.
With whom can you have a romance? In the spoiler box, you can check which companions can have a romance with you:

How to get companions into bed? Take the desired companions with you on your adventures, talk to them regularly, and pay attention to their preferences. If you behave in a way that increases the sympathy values between you, you will unlock special conversation options.
Once in a while, conversation options have the addition [Flirt] before the text. Choose this option to get closer to your companions step by step.
Riot Games has banned South Korean professional player Kim ‘Clid’ Tae-min from League of Legends for 12 months. His team Hanwha Life Esports had already sorted out the former world-class jungler. In June 2023, allegations arose from two women claiming that the LoL pro had harassed them. One of the women stated that she was still a minor at the time of the harassment.
Who is he?
Clid is one of the most well-known and successful junglers in LoL over the last 5 years. But his career has been declining since 2021.
In 2019, he achieved great success alongside Faker, reaching the semifinals of MSI and Worlds with T1. In 2020, he was again in the semifinals of Worlds with Gen G. In the following years, he played with FunPlus Phoenix and Hanwha Life Esports but no longer contended for international titles, although he came close.
Now, however, his career is facing initial difficulties.

What did the player do? In June 2023, accusations came from a Twitter user named ‘Seoyeon’, who was able to prove that Clid had sent her several lewd messages and a suggestive photo via the KakaoTalk app.
He allegedly sent things like:
‘I’m hard now’
‘Say something before I pinch your breast’
‘Am I supposed to fuck? No, I will fuck you.’
Additionally, a second woman complained that she received similar messages from Clid via Facebook. At the time, she was still a minor and Clid was aware of it.
Riot Games bans jungler Clid for 12 months – role model function violated
This is his punishment: Riot Games has excluded Clid from all competitions associated with Riot for 12 months (via lolesports.com).
For 18 months, he is also excluded from all competitions in South Korea, as decided by a commission for fair e-sports. The reason is ‘continued sexual harassment, unprofessional behavior, and criminal offenses’. (via fair.e-sports)
For a 24-year-old player, this could mean the end of his career. Even if he returns after a year, he would likely have to move to China or take another 6-month break.
The Korean league LCK states that they have reached the conclusion in their investigations that there is no evidence that the women accusing Clid encouraged his behavior in any way. On the contrary, it has become clear that they resisted his unwelcome advances.
Professional players are expected to exhibit impeccable behavior. Clid did not meet these expectations.
Clid has the option to appeal this ban. A commission additionally recommends that he participate in courses to avoid future offenses and to raise his awareness of sexual assaults. This not only serves a punitive purpose but also has an educational effect.
His team, however, already put him on the bench months ago and played without their starting jungler. Hanwha Life narrowly missed qualifying for Worlds without Clid. They finished only fourth in the playoffs and also missed qualification through the regional finals.
With Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy, THQ Nordic, together with the developer Frozenbyte, is releasing the latest installment of a cooperative platformer series. On Steam, the game is already receiving many positive reviews.
What is it about? Trine 5 seems to tell a very classic fantasy hero story.
The three heroes of the game are a wizard, a thief, and a knight, who are each at a low point in their lives. A ruined reputation, magical powers at stake, and love in danger.
Despite these personal troubles, the heroes must come together again to fight back against the evil clockwork army, to fight for justice, and to bring peace to the land.
The developers promise that this will be the most action-packed journey of the three heroes so far.
Where can you play?On Steam, you can play Trine 5 since August 31, 2023. However, it is also available for the Switch, PS4/5, and Xbox.
What makes the game special? As seen in the trailer, the game consists of many puzzles in a 2.5D world that must be solved to advance in the story. Solve them solo or in co-op, with adaptive difficulty levels based on the current number of players. This is meant to give the game a certain replay value.
The solutions to the puzzles feel very classic and utilize the abilities of the different characters. For example, use magical items to build a bridge, employ the thief’s agility to progress with ropes, or utilize the knight’s strength to set things in motion.

You will also encounter various enemies. The developers promise a new combat system, which also has a small preview. Here too, the abilities of the characters play a clear role. For instance, the knight can parry attacks with his shield, and the thief can nimbly jump around the enemies.

Diablo 4 is a difficult topic in the hack & slash community. A long-awaited game that has disappointed many players after the great campaign. Rod Fergusson, the General Manager of Diablo, now talks about the future of Diablo 4 and how long they intend to support the game.
Where does the information come from? The American news site “Dexerto” conducted an interview with the General Manager of Diablo 4, Rod Fergusson. This primarily focused on how long Blizzard wants to support the hack & slash and what the future holds for upcoming DLCs and expansions.
As Diablo 3 has been supported for 11 years, but Blizzard was not satisfied with the implementation, the team wants to take a different path to meet the community’s expectations.
Start video
Diablo 4 presents new Season 2, coming this fall – Blood & Vampires
Many years and DLCs are expected to follow in the future
What was discussed in the interview? Patrick Dane, the journalist behind the interview, opened the conversation with the following question: “This is a broader question: How long does the future of Diablo 4 last? How far does this vision go? You know, we have the launch behind us, which had a really nice, compact campaign. And now we are dealing with the seasonal things. How long can this last?”.
Rod Fergusson responded as follows:
But you know, it’s years and years. That’s what we’re focusing on. When you look at the launch of the game and this first season, we see it as a foundation to build on for the future.
So when we look at our quarterly seasons and our annual expansions, those are the things we are really focusing on in our live service. We have plans, we have storylines that stretch far into the future. […]
When you look back and realize that there were 11 years between D3 and D4, it feels like we haven’t done justice to our players, our community, and what they deserve. That’s something we want to correct in D4 with our seasons and our expansions.
Here Rod Fergusson talks about annual expansions that are expected to take place in the coming years. How large these expansions will be and whether new classes will also be introduced into the game is still unclear. The fact is, Blizzard wants to engage its players more intensively than has been the case with Diablo 3.
The system resembles Destiny 2: The upcoming DLCs and seasons are likely to be monetized. If you know Destiny 2, this system may also seem familiar to you. Bungie also monetizes Destiny 2 in the same style:
Annual DLCs
4 seasons per year
Both can be purchased together in a large package or separately. It is possible that Blizzard is taking a page from Bungie’s book and wants to implement a similar system to keep Diablo 4 alive.
Only the future will show how large the expansions and prices will be, but until then, what do you think about Blizzard’s plans? Are you interested in the upcoming system or do you have no interest?
Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler is one of the biggest streamers on German Twitch. Whether that is justified, the 29-year-old seems to be unsure about it himself.
In a reaction video, Trymacs saw a short dance clip of the influencer in a Shego look. For the streamer, it was “TikTok in its purest form”: she was just dancing. A viewer called it “ridiculous” that one could become famous with that. This prompted him to a brief reflection on his own content.

How does Trymacs see his own content? The Twitch streamer seems to be quite disillusioned in this regard. After all, there are enough people who are bothered by his content, and he seems to be aware of that:
Well, we just spent 30 hours watching Frank Rosin from some episodes that are 10 years old, as he completely insults restaurants. And a hundred thousand people watch that. So I don’t find that quite fair, I must say.
Or we’ve been playing mobile games for 7 years and it’s just ridiculously great and millions of people watch that again.
Especially in the last part, Trymacs can’t help but laugh. At the same time, however, he seems almost a bit embarrassed, considering the content he is known for. Critics often label the 29-year-old as a “Pay2Win streamer” and get upset when he, for example, lets friends pull him to a higher rank in a game.
However, Trymacs has a healthy dose of self-irony: he calls himself “streamer without skill” and laughs about his massive spending in games – considering it an investment in his content. You can find the entire reaction on the streamer’s YouTube channel, the topic starts at 05:16.
Who becomes famous for what in social networks is always a question. MontanaBlack, who is among the biggest streamers on German Twitch, says about himself: he was in the right place at the right time, his skills had nothing to do with his success.
With gaming setups in the colors of Starfield, fans stylishly prepare for the launch of the space RPG. We show you the most original ideas here.
Starfield fans have been waiting a long time for Bethesda’s new title. However, they have not been idle from the first announcement in 2018 to the present and have sweetened the waiting time by building their very own gaming setups inspired by Starfield-themed sci-fi designs.
This includes gaming PCs and matching peripheral devices. We also show you ideas from the Reddit community that go beyond normal PC gaming.

Starfield brings what fans of Star Citizen wish for – decades earlier, but with a catch
Rainbow colors in gaming setup
What color accents does Bethesda use for their game? The design of Starfield unmistakably resembles the color spectrum of rainbows. The logo and pattern for the game are in blue, yellow, orange, and red on a white background. Inspired by this, fans of the game showcase their color-coordinated gaming environments and share them with the Reddit community.
How are the fans preparing? While some gamers simply change their desktop backgrounds to various Starfield-themed motifs, others on Reddit are creatively going beyond that. Some set up “space decor” like a spaceship made of Lego on their desks or in the shelves above.
What do Starfield fans color? In the posts, you can frequently see white peripheral devices. Keyboards are particularly popular, with some letters replaced by colorful counterparts, forming a rainbow stripe due to their arrangement. The picture is often completed by a mousepad or a desk mat printed with a gaming logo. Occasionally, you can also spot a Starfield-themed Xbox controller, which Microsoft exclusively released for the launch.
Thanks to the built-in LEDs, which can glow in all conceivable colors, graphics cards, fans, and even cables are accordingly colored. Thus, the gaming PCs showcase the entire color palette of Bethesda’s title.
This way, while waiting and soon playing the space RPG, a definitely atmospheric vibe is created, and it might even immerse some deeper into the story of Starfield.
What other ideas do the players come up with? Cross-platform gaming is now a given. Therefore, it is not surprising that some fans are also targeting other technical devices and color-coordinating them with Starfield.
Even though the space RPG will run less performantly on the Steam Deck despite our tips for more FPS, a Reddit user has taken the liberty of visually adapting his handheld.
Even more elaborate and beautiful to look at, but all the more tragic is the Reddit post about a PlayStation 5, including a controller in the Starfield look.
Why is there no Starfield on PS5? Since Bethesda now belongs to Microsoft, the company has blocked a release on Sony’s console. Currently, only PC and Xbox players get to enjoy playing Starfield.

In cooperation with the mattress manufacturer Tempur, the Xbox developer showcased a Starfield gaming chair at this year’s Gamescom. With this, Microsoft far surpasses the projects of fans.
The “Dream Chair,” as the piece of furniture is called, is designed like a spaceship cockpit. A huge screen, a joystick on each armrest, and countless buttons and switches leave nothing to be desired.
Is the chair available for purchase? The chair is not for sale and is intended to find a new owner for charitable purposes at the end of the year.
In the MMORPG Final Fantasy 14, players can create their own character with the character editor. A fan is so excited about his character that he has created a life-sized bronze statue of her. The figure now stands in his garden.
What kind of figure is this? The player created a bronze statue for his own in-game character named Yoko Akatsuki. He worked on the project for a total of six months.
With all costs for materials, tools and the support in casting the statue, he has spent a considerable sum of around 5,000 US dollars.
The figure weighs 450 kg and has a height of 1.50 m. This is actually the true size of his in-game character, as his character belongs to the Au Ra, who can be smaller than other types. The weight is probably not entirely accurate, even though the Au Ra wears heavy armor.
He proudly presents his work on Reddit:

The figure is hollow so that the artist could save material and the transport is therefore easier. He mostly constructed the statue alone, as he has recently discovered sculpting as a hobby.
Before casting the bronze statue, he made a mold from clay, plaster and modeling mass. With the molds, he then poured the individual parts with external help, which he then assembled as a complete statue.
The project was particularly challenging because of deciphering the blurry textures in the game and embellishing armor, sword, and shield with small details. Fortunately, a graphics update for Final Fantasy 14 is coming soon, which could solve the problem of blurry textures.
Fans of Final Fantasy 14 are excited about the statue
Many users are excited about the statue. One user is already thinking decades ahead and suggests that the statue could be found by future humanity in the year 3023, which would then study it more closely.
Another fan jokes that humanity might think the statue used to be a goddess of war for the previous civilization. The sculptor simply hopes that it won’t be melted down for weapons or metal someday.
Other users, however, are completely thrilled:
drawdiuqSsdrawkcaB: ‘If there’s an award for fan of the year, you should get it.’
ArsChromatica: ‘I have no idea about bronze sculptures and casting, but this looks incredible! So many details in the armor and the sword! Amazing work, thanks for sharing!’
Analog-Moderator: ‘Holy crap, this is amazing, I don’t even have anything snarky to say, well done!’
Another user mocks that he would have saved a lot of time with a Lalafell as an in-game character. This character type is a good bit smaller than the Au Ra. But the sculptor counters that he probably would have only saved a week, as the details on the armor took him the most time.
An annual charity event on Twitch by Vtubers called “vSmile” began in 2021 as an initiative to raise donations. Now they are going into the third round, and MeinMMO tells you who is behind the project and what it is all about.
What are Vtubers? Vtuber is short for “Virtual YouTuber“. These content creators, who hide behind virtual avatars, have gained a large following on platforms like YouTube and Twitch in recent years.
Vtubers use motion capture technology and real-time animation to bring their digital characters to life and create interactive livestreams and videos.
The fascination of the audience lies not only in the unique and often lovable personalities of the Vtubers but also in the opportunity to interact with their virtual idols.
Here you can find another charity event organized by streamers:

Friendly Fire 8 is starting soon – Gronkh & Co. collect donations in the millions annually
In response to the devastating floods in Germany that year, Lia initially decided to host a charity livestream alone for the flood victims. She presented her idea to the community and received a great response. Within a short time, so many people offered their support that she was literally overwhelmed.
Among those who spontaneously decided to join this commendable initiative were Vtuber artists Kiyichu, Ako Yagami, and Frau Mauzenberger.
Frau Mauzenberger remembers this early time and says: ‘Like the complete idiots we are, we suggested bringing all supporters together and making a big event out of it.’
The naming process was a challenge, but ultimately, they decided on “vSmile” because it sounds like “We Smile” – a message that says they will smile for the people no matter what happens.
What makes this event particularly impressive is the fact that the organizers and participants do not receive any financial compensation. They are volunteering for this good cause.
Their joint commitment is a positive example of the power of the online community and their willingness to do good.
How did the first charity event go? They only had about a week to put the entire event together in the first year. Despite this tight deadline, around 40 Vtubers joined the initiative to take part in this unique stream marathon.
The response from viewers and supporters was overwhelming, and in the end, the organizers of vSmile were able to collect a remarkable sum of 10,795 Euros for “Aktion Deutschland Hilft“. The money is for the victims of the flood disaster.
In light of this impressive success, they unanimously decided to make these donation streams a permanent tradition. They want to continue their mission of spreading help and hope in difficult times.
What happened next with vSmile? In the second year, 2022, vSmile was again able to achieve major successes. Over 70 Vtubers performed together and dedicated the event to cancer research.
The goal of raising 7,500 Euros was more than surpassed, as a remarkable total of 9,160 Euros was collected.
The stream marathon ended with an emotional moment when all four organizers confirmed the next event in tears. However, these tears were not only tears of joy, as Ako Yagami shared that this would unfortunately be her last vSmile as an organizer. Nevertheless, she stated that she remains determined to support the event to the best of her ability.

This year is dedicated to environmental protection
What is being raised this year? The commitment of vSmile to charitable causes is entering a new round this year. On September 9 and 10, the stream marathon will once again take place with over 40 Vtubers to raise donations for environmental protection.
Organizer Lia emphasizes the seriousness of this matter, as environmental issues affect all people, regardless of their background.
Therefore, vSmile wants not only to provide financial support but also to help raise awareness of this important issue and use the reach of the Vtuber community to initiate positive change.
This year, well-known Vtuber personalities such as Nayami or Lotta will also be actively involved and perform in their own segments to support the event and ensure the success of the fundraising campaign.
In Baldur’s Gate 3 you can die. And often. Sometimes a single dialogue option is enough to meet your end.
In Baldur’s Gate 3, you will face a variety of choices. Some significantly determine how the story will progress, while others are just small side pieces of information that you can gain.
However, some answers or decisions have particularly drastic consequences: They lead to the death of your character and often to an immediate “Game Over”.
We present to you some of these decisions that can directly lead to death.
Spoiler Alert: This covers some devastating decisions from Baldur’s Gate 3, so there will be spoilers. You have been warned.

A useful feature can make your life in Baldur’s Gate 3 much easier
1. A kiss with the Mind Flayer
Right after the Nautiloid crashes at the beginning of Act 1, you can make a fatal misdecision. For in the wreckage of the ship, you find an injured Mind Flayer. When you speak to him, he tries to impose his will on you. Or more directly: He wants to make you love him.
If you do not resist the urge and give in to this feeling, your character ultimately bends down towards the Mind Flayer to give him a kiss – and is killed in the process, with brain and thoughts consumed. A premature but very fitting end that once again highlights the threat posed by Mind Flayers.
2. The Masks of the Hag
A second method of “Game Over” can be found when you first confront the Hag. If you do not kill the witch immediately in her house, she flees to her secret hideout, which is guarded by a series of protective mechanisms. One of these mechanisms is a large door.
You have multiple options to get through the door, but the “most obvious” one is on the table next to the door: 4 masks.
The Hag is pleased when you put on the masks.
When you put on the mask, you hear the Hag speaking in your head, slowly extending her mind control. If you do not resist or quickly take off the mask, you will be controlled by the Hag and attack your teammates.
If all 4 teammates put on the mask and succumb to the Hag, then the adventure ends in a “Game Over”.
3. Death by Lae’zel
If you have made use of your special Illithid powers a few times, you will be particularly weak one evening. If Lae’zel is still in your camp, she will take notice. She sees it as the first signs of your transformation into a Mind Flayer.
Lae’zel then offers you a “solution”: She will first kill you and then herself, so that no one becomes a Mind Flayer. If you agree or simply say nothing, she will carry out this plan: She slits your throat and kills herself afterward.
This is only a “Game Over” if Lae’zel and your protagonist were the only characters in your group. Otherwise, you can simply resurrect her.
Lae’zel takes quick action against you if you let her.
4. Death by a vampire
After you have picked up Astarion, you will have a special scene in your camp the following night. Because Astarion turns out to be a vampire and tries to drink from you.
This is generally not problematic as long as you stop the vampire after a few seconds. However, it becomes increasingly difficult, because as Astarion’s greed grows, you will become weaker and have to pass harder dice rolls.
If you fail to stop Astarion three times, you die.
Interestingly, you can then be resurrected by the other characters and throughout the rest of the playthrough refer back to the fact that Astarion has killed you once. These resurrections are actually part of the planned story.
On the way over the mountain pass, you can delve deep into an abandoned monastery that the Githyanki have made their home. Here you come into contact with Queen Vlaakith, who speaks directly to you. If you are rude to her and show her no respect, she will become angry. If you are still cheeky, she casts one of the most powerful spells from Dungeons & Dragons: Wish.
That Vlaakith uses such a powerful spell to kill you instead of simply wishing for the fulfillment of her original goal is somewhat silly – but it also fits excellently with her character.
Have you found any other decisions that led directly to your own death?
Your wish is for your group to die. And that is exactly what happens.
The queen of the Githyanki wishes for your death if you are rude.
That Vlaakith uses such a powerful spell to kill you instead of simply wishing for the fulfillment of her original goal is somewhat silly – but it also fits excellently with her character.
Have you found any other decisions that led directly to your own death?

The Twitch streamer Nadia Amine is a controversial figure in Call of Duty. Some accuse her of cheating. She considers these statements sexist. Now, the 23-year-old feels wrongly discriminated against by Activision Blizzard. She says she is not invited to an event for “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” because of her bikini photos. That is unfair. Critics counter that she has not streamed Call of Duty for months.
Who is she?
Nadia Amine is a big streamer on Twitch who currently reaches about 4,400 viewers when she goes live. Nadia is primarily known for her gameplay in Call of Duty: Warzone. Recently, however, she has been seen more often in the “Pools and Hot Tubs” category.
Nadia is a controversial figure: She sees herself as an excellent Call of Duty player. However, her critics accuse her of cheating. This can be seen in how she regularly plays poorly in a “monitored” environment. Streamer Asmongold has called for her permanent ban.
The streamer defends herself against such allegations and attributes the many accusations to sexist prejudices: People likely think that just because she is an attractive woman, she cannot be good at a shooter.

Streamer feels discriminated against due to bikini photos
This is now the controversy: The Twitch streamer says on Twitter that Activision Blizzard did not invite her to the “CoD Next” event where the next Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be presented.
She believes it is related to her bikini photos that she shares on Twitter. However, she emphasizes that she has never shown herself naked.
This is how the streamer presents herself on Twitter.
She sees her exclusion as “double standards” and told Activision Blizzard this, since they repeatedly invite male streamers who post questionable pictures of themselves.
But Activision Blizzard dismissed her objection and “lied.”
As examples of problematic content creators who show bare skin, she posts pictures of Tfue, Swagg, Aydan, and Lucky.

Streamer shows hardly any more Call of Duty, has grown since then
How is this being discussed? Influencer Jake Lucky believes: The disinvitation is due to the fact that the streamer has not streamed Call of Duty for “months”. Furthermore, it is unfair to bring Tfue into the conflict. He has been retired for months.
According to Lucky, the streamer has already lost sponsorship deals since she changed her content. Therefore, it should not surprise her that Activision Blizzard ended their collaboration with her (via twitter).
Other users criticize: Even Activision Blizzard has recognized that the streamer cheats and therefore does not want to invite her.
This is what lies behind it: Indeed, there seems to be some truth to the criticism: Nadia has played a lot of Call of Duty in the last six months, but in recent months it has decreased significantly and then stopped completely.
The last “Call of Duty” stream is from July 12.
Since June 6, she has deviated from regular Call of Duty streaming.
Since she stopped streaming Call of Duty, her viewer numbers have actually risen steadily.
Overall, the cheating discussion is also very present:
A new week starts in Destiny 2 and we are giving you an overview of the content and events that await you in the coming days. We also have a fiery announcement to make: The Iron Banner returns this week.
This is happening this week: The Iron Banner, a popular seasonal PvP event in Destiny 2, starts this week for the first time in Season 22.
The Wolves of Lord Saladin call upon all brave Guardians to participate in the intense battles of the Iron Banner. In the new season, there are also a few fresh rewards to earn that come in the Iron Banner look:
The Arc precision bow “Antler Shoot” from the Cassoid Forge.
Additionally, the Strand scout rifle “The Leading Sight”, which has a high penetration.
Which mode is active in the Iron Banner? For all who like to know in advance what is coming to earn these weapons: You should play Iron Banner in the “Fortress” mode. If that doesn’t appeal to you, then we recommend waiting for the second Iron Banner on October 10. There you can shine in the tried-and-true “Control” mode.
The Iron Banner is a great opportunity to prove your skills in the Crucible and measure yourself against other Guardians on a pleasant level.
In addition to the iron fight in PvP, it is also the first week of the Crota raid. The Guardians wish for the Contest mode of the Worlds First to return, as that was a lot of fun.

Nightfall
Season 22 has full battlefield power in the Nightfall, as all three battlegrounds are in the rotation. This should put your builds to a hard test. On September 12, the PvE endgame officially starts in Destiny 2 with the top-tier Nightfalls.
However, this week you first have to face the Daughter of Crota and climb the Scarlet Fortress.
The Scarlet Fortress, on the Moon
Hashladun, the Daughter of Crota, has designed the red Cabal bastion to harness the energies of the pyramid buried in the abyss below. You are to drive her out from her refuge in the strike and further thin out the offspring of Oryx.

The weekly Legacy raid is “Deep Stone Crypt” with the weapon exotic “Eyes of Tomorrow”
Furthermore, there are extra top loot and the exotic “Xenophage” in the dungeon “Pit of Heresy”.
The weekly exotic mission is “Operation Seraph’s Shield” with the exotic “Revision Zero”.
Weekly Activities
Eris Morn has taken a dark turn in Season 22
Season 22 offers Guardians new challenges and a card deck that supports them on their missions with buffs and benefits, as long as they unlock everything and assemble their deck appropriately.
Altars of Summoning: Offer sacrifices in the otherworldly prison of the Witch Queen to summon hideous foes, defeat them, and gain their power.
There are three difficulty levels that you can activate. So anyone who activates “Mighty”, the highest difficulty level with three swords, will also face a mighty sweat.
Savathûn’s Pillar: Activate the pillar, defeat its overseers, and gain access to the Altars of Summoning.
Void Crystals have a barrier around them that protects enemies nearby. The barrier must be entered and the crystal destroyed from the inside.
Solar Crystals burn upon pickup and must be transported to a separate part of the arena.
Arc Crystals grant the melee charge buff “Crystalline Charge”. Inactive Arc Crystals must be awakened with a “Transfer Melee”.

All sources for top loot in Season 22 of Destiny 2
The new units of the Witness are already “in the making”
More power level comes automatically: The power level will also be suspended in Season 22, which means that the hard power level cap in Destiny 2 remains unchanged at 1,810. So no player is forced to perform at their peak every week, but levels up automatically with all activities the artifact level.
There are still tough challenges even without an increase in the power level. For example, in Grandmaster Raids, top-tier Nightfalls, Grandmaster Lost Sectors, or Trials of Osiris. Here, a high artifact level is advantageous and necessary.
If you are still not at the hard cap of 1,810, we have listed here the best sources for top loot for you.
This top loot brings your power level up to 1,810:
That was all the information about this new week in Destiny 2. Additionally, Bungie announced plans to tighten the shine on the shiny chains of Warlocks and break them:
The new SciFi RPG Starfield from Bethesda is set to provide a campaign that will keep you engaged for about 40 hours. Even before the game celebrates its full release on September 6, speedrunners are already making good progress. The record stands at 2:51 hours.
Starfield is a game that requires you to take your time. There is much to do, the game’s pace is generally rather slow, and distractions such as loot boxes or interesting NPCs are everywhere.
Over 250,000 lines of recorded dialogue are designed to prevent us from rushing through the RPG.
However, this does not bother the speedrunning community. They see a lot of potential in Starfield and are already working on techniques to get through the campaign even faster.

7 gameplay highlights from Starfield that you should know about
Currently, the best speedrunner for Starfield is a user named “Micrologist”. In a video on YouTube, you can watch the entire run, which is, however, full of spoilers for the game. At least only the main campaign is completed:
The video is likely to develop into a sort of tutorial: Which parts of the story can be skipped, which conversation options are important, where you can possibly save more time.
As the US site VG247 reports, a whole community is already working on a Discord server to develop tricks and tactics to progress faster.
In certain circumstances, you can trigger a teleport glitch with your character, but it’s still unclear how that exactly works. Something with melee attacks (via youtube.com). The third-person camera also offers much potential for moving through unwanted barriers.
The 3-hour mark is unlikely to last long. Someone may have already broken the record, and it’s likely to happen in quick succession now.
Speedruns are an important part of the gaming community. Many players try their hand at such an endeavor over the course of their gaming careers, most fail within the first few hours. Some persist and find a hobby for life.
