When does the GO Fest 2023 start? Day 1 of the global GO Fest starts at 10:00 AM local time on August 26, 2023, and runs until 6:00 PM.

Throughout the day, there will be rotating habitats with various spawns that bring changing challenges and bonuses.

How can I participate? Generally, there are some event content available without a ticket throughout the weekend. Alternatively, you can purchase a ticket for around 15 euros in the shop, which offers additional bonuses.

The differences between the event with ticket and without ticket are summarized here.

You can follow the latest developments in our live ticker for Pokémon GO Fest 2023.

To give you an overview of what is happening in the game today, we summarize the highlights of Saturday here.

What is happening on Saturday at GO Fest 2023?

Special research with Diancie: If you purchased a ticket, you will receive the special research with Diancie at the start of the event. This grants you various bonuses when you complete a total of 6 research steps.

All information about the tasks and rewards of the GO Fest special research can be found here.

Showcases: You can also submit Pokémon in showcases on Saturday to receive rewards. Pikachu and Viscora are the competition Pokémon.

Habitats and spawns: Every hour during the event, you will find a different habitat, that is, a Pokémon habitat, in the game. Each brings different Pokémon and always a different bonus.

Sometimes it’s extra XP, sometimes stardust, and similar rewards. However, to receive the bonus, a global challenge must first be solved.

The habitats at a glance:

  • 10:00 to 11:00 AM: Habitat Quartz Terrarium
  • 11:00 to 12:00 PM: Habitat Pyrite Sands
  • 12:00 to 1:00 PM: Habitat Malachite Wilderness

Global challenge at GO Fest 2023: Every hour, all trainers worldwide must complete a different challenge. Once completed, the hour bonus will be unlocked.

The tasks are also important for the so-called hyper bonus: it will be unlocked when all tasks are completed. As a reward, a special event awaits.

More about this here: Pokémon GO shows Hyper Bonus and 2 more bonuses for GO Fest 2023

Exciting monsters on Saturday: You should keep an eye on some interesting Pokémon on Saturday. These include:

  • Rocara: Found in 2-star raids and is a real monster in PvP.
  • You can encounter Snorlax wearing a cowboy hat in raids.
  • Each habitat brings its own event Pikachu.
  • Strong monsters like Tanhel, Kindwurm, or Kaumalat will spawn. They will become some of the best attackers in Pokémon GO when you evolve them.
  • Proto-Kyogre and Proto-Groudon are in the raids. They belong to the best monsters in the game and are worth it.
  • You can also find some regional Pokémon on Saturday.

What about Mega-Rayquaza? It will not appear on Saturday, but only on Sunday.

A user rents his expensive gaming PC with Nvidia graphics card and does not know how dangerous that could be

A gamer reports that a user is renting his apartment with a high-end gaming PC equipped with an Nvidia graphics card. The community reacts with incredulous amazement.

Would you rent your apartment, including expensive hardware, to a complete stranger? Without knowing whether this person would handle it carefully? The majority would probably shake their heads.

However, a gamer now reports on reddit that he booked an apartment via Airbnb that is equipped with two powerful gaming PCs. Airbnb is an online platform for booking and renting accommodations.

One of the gaming PCs contains an RTX 4090, which alone costs 1,600 euros. The second system has “only” an RTX 2070. Additionally, the apartment also has a 3D printer and a HoloLens 2, which is a mixed reality headset.

“Too much trust in humanity”

How does the community react? Quite astonished. Many believe that the unknown landlord simply has too much trust in potential tenants. One commenter with the most upvotes writes: “The trust these people have in humanity is incredible.”

  • Others believe that the landlords are simply rich enough “and don’t have to worry if a few clumsy people steal their stuff.”
  • Still others say that one should not trust the landlord either. After all, the owner of the systems could have installed keyloggers to spy on sensitive data.

However, there are also reassuring voices saying: People are all much too paranoid and see a trap behind every nice offer. Not every tenant would commit theft, and not every landlord would engage in espionage to betray his customers.

In one thing, however, everyone actually agrees: One would certainly not offer one’s own gaming PC for rent to a stranger.

Even real hotels have already discovered gamers for themselves

Basically, there are such equipped apartments. Streamers or e-sports athletes often look for such places to stream in peace or to prepare for an upcoming tournament.

Are there hotels for gamers? Yes, they actually exist. Fully equipped gaming systems in hotel rooms are by the way nothing unusual. Even big companies have already discovered gamers as a traveling target group.

Apart from culture and tourism, they want to offer players the same comfort and performance as at their home desk. But streamers and e-sports athletes are also a popular target group for such offers, who like to work on the go or want to prepare.

A hotel advertises, for example, with gaming PCs equipped with RTX-3000 GPUs in every room, with prices starting at 70 euros per night, making them surprisingly affordable. Nowadays, you can find such gaming hotels not only in China but also in Japan or the Netherlands. And they are quite successful and very popular with their customers.

Nevertheless, the focus of such gaming accommodations is mainly in Asian countries, where most of these hotels are located. A European alternative would at least be “The Arcade Hotel” in Amsterdam.

Hotels are discovering gamers as a target group, creating gamer paradises

An animal NPC in Baldur’s Gate is particularly strange, but drops a useful ring

In Baldur’s Gate 3 you encounter a strange NPC in the Emerald Grove at the beginning. Something seems off about him. Obtain a useful ring and win him as an ally or kill him. How to do that, you will learn on MeinMMO.

Warning Spoiler: The article contains spoilers from Act 1 to Act 3.

Who is the strange NPC? At the beginning, you will meet a strange ox in Baldur’s Gate 3 in the Emerald Grove, which piques your curiosity. This ox is noticeably different from its peers.

It is strikingly smaller than the other two oxen, and its “Moo” sounds unnaturally human. But the strangest thing are its extraordinary abilities like blindsight, darkvision, and resistances that ordinary oxen do not have.

If you approach this odd creature, you can expect a perception check that indicates more is going on here. The ox behaves not only atypically but also guards a big secret: it is actually not an ox but hides its true nature.

Here you will find 5 good tips for your gameplay in Baldur’s Gate 3:

Start video
5 helpful tips for Baldur’s Gate 3

This is how you learn its secret and obtain a ring, or win it as an ally

What does the strange ox drop?

  • “Ring of the Shapechanger,” especially good for Moon Druids
  • You gain +1d4 on all rolls when you shapeshift or disguise yourself.
  • Also the Hat of Fiery Sharpness, which grants the wearer “Arcane Sharpness” when it deals fire damage

Where do I find the strange ox? First, you will meet him in the Emerald Grove. You can use the spell, scroll, or potion “Speak with Animals” to have a conversation with the strange ox. Or you can transform yourself into an animal to speak with him. “Speak with Animals” offers many great dialogues in Baldur’s Gate 3, including with the owl bear cub.

Strange ox in the Emerald Grove: A successful “Arcane Knowledge” check makes it clear that the ox is not normal. After a successful check, you can ask him about his secret. At first, he will deny it, but through a successful persuade, intimidate, or deceive check, he will reveal part of his secret. He longs to travel to Baldur’s Gate.

  • Now you let him be so he can continue his journey. This gives you the opportunity to learn more about the ox.

Strange ox at the inn “The Last Light”: In Act 2, you encounter the strange ox again at the inn “The Last Light.” He is in the stable. Again, use “Speak with Animals.” If you succeed in the roll, he will show you visions of a bloodbath: many massacred, dead bodies – all stacked on top of each other.

These options are available to you:

  • Kill him and take the loot: If you continue to harass him, he will reveal himself as a huge, nasty sludge enemy and attack you. If you kill him, you will receive the ring and the hat.
  • Win him as a “friend” and get the ring: Do not kill him, but help him reach Baldur’s Gate. He has a quest line for you. You then smuggle him as an apple into Baldur’s Gate, once you meet him in Act 3 again. Coordinates for Act 3: X 41, Y -142
  • If you keep him alive until the end and help him, you will win him as an ally in the final fight of the game. He will then gift you the Ring of the Shapechanger, but not the fire hat.

Speaking with animals repeatedly reveals new surprises, exciting dialogues, and stories. Apparently, the strange ox is actually a murderous creature wanting to escape its old life. What will you do? Take its life or grant it its dream life in Baldur’s Gate and win it as an ally?

“I was just so down” – Sheldon explains why he left The Big Bang Theory after 12 years

In May 2019, The Big Bang Theory ended after 12 seasons. The character Sheldon was played by Jim Parsons (50) and was one of the main characters of the series. He was ultimately partly responsible for the end of The Big Bang Theory.

This is the situation:

  • In the podcast “David Tennant does a Podcast with…”, Jim Parsons talked about his decision at the time to leave The Big Bang Theory after experiencing an intense summer.
  • Jim Parsons played the role of the gifted physicist Sheldon in the American sitcom.
  • The Big Bang Theory ended in 2019 with its 12th season. According to Moviepilot, a spin-off of the series is planned.

Top videos

Jim Parsons had to make a decision

These were the reasons for his exit: Jim Parsons talks in the episode of the podcast about the reasons for his exit from The Big Bang Theory after 12 years and 279 episodes.

In the podcast, he explains that he experienced an intense summer when the last filming of the 11th season of The Big Bang Theory took place. After the last recordings, he worked on other projects. He felt exhausted.

In the meantime, one of his dogs had reached “the end of its life.” He walked it before a shoot.

Parsons describes with a trembling voice that he was so tired at the time: But his husband Todd said they had to go to the shoot.

Parsons cried and said, “The dog will die while I work, I feel so bad.”

A few days later, the couple decided to have their 14-year-old dog, who was getting worse, euthanized. Parsons expressed that he did not know how he would finish his work. “I was just so down,” he says.

Additionally, he slipped and broke his foot. “I felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff, about to fall,” Parsons says.

He realized that he had to make a decision. His father had passed away at 52. He understood that when the 12th season of The Big Bang Theory ended, he would be 46 years old:

I am not superstitious or anything, but it was just a matter of context. And that’s what I said […] when I returned to work that year. I said, “If you told me I had six years left to live like my father, I think there are other things I need to try. And I don’t even know what they are, but I feel like I need to try.”

Jim Parsons in the podcast “David Tennant does a Podcast with…” via Spotify

“We cried for hours”

This was how his team reacted: His team was very surprised – and not in a positive way. This surprised Jim Parsons in turn. He did what he had to do.

In the book “The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story Of The Epic Hit Series”, Johnny Galecki (in the series Dr. Leonard Hofstadter) wrote: “We thought we would go into Chuck’s office to talk about a renegotiation, and then Chuck handed the scepter to Jim.”

Kaley Cuoco said that they cried for hours when Parsons announced his exit. “We thought we would do one more year,” says the actress of the character Penny (via yahoo.com).

Jim Parsons states that he did not expect The Big Bang Theory to end with his exit.

Another actor initially did not want to accept the offer to be in a series. He thought he would shoot 12 episodes and then go home. He did not expect the series to become so successful:

Captain Picard admits: He only appeared in Star Trek because he thought it would be a terrible flop

Habeck opened gamescom 2023 with a smart saying: Admit that gaming in Germany is pretty bad

The Federal Minister for Economic Affairs, Robert Habeck, attended gamescom in Cologne for the first time in 2023. The man doesn’t seem to have much connection to video games, but he has done his homework and is making an effort, according to our author Schuhmann.

What phrase did Habeck open gamescom with? Habeck was appointed Federal Minister for Economic Affairs on December 8, 2021. His ministry is responsible for game funding, and it also presents the German Computer Game Award, which was controversially discussed in one category in 2023.

Actually, Habeck was supposed to open gamescom 2022, but he couldn’t attend: the energy crisis intervened.

He opened his premiere at gamescom looking at moderator Viola Tensil, who also had to skip gamescom in 2022, with the phrase:

“We have something in common. I wasn’t here last year either. You had COVID, and I had Putin.”

That received applause.

The clip of Habeck went around on Twitch:

Habeck probably has little connection to gaming, but didn’t make a fool of himself

How did Habeck come across? During his approximately 15-minute speech, one notices that Habeck probably does not have a strong connection to video games, but he did not want to show it. However, he did not make the mistake of pretending to be the ultimate gamer: He probably did not want to appear like Phillip Amthor.

He keeps talking about how valuable playing is in itself. Playing shapes culture. In games, stories are told, worlds are created, and things are experimented with that are not possible in everyday life: This has always pushed humanity forward. One can experience things through playing that would otherwise be denied.

While all this could also be said about board games: which, it seems, are played more in the Habeck household than the new Call of Duty or FIFA.

Robert Habeck believes that those who play together may not shoot at each other. The President of France has a different view of video games:

The President of France states that video games are partly responsible for the uprisings.

A colleague of Habeck also sought contact with these “strange people on the internet”.

Games can contribute to peace 

Habeck even states, in light of the war in Ukraine: Those who play together might not shoot at each other in the real world. The opposite of the politician, who blames the violence in the real world on “bad video games”, just like recently the President of France.

The Federal Minister for Economic Affairs recognizes the economic importance of gaming: It is now as significant as large parts of the creative economy and, in turn, larger than some traditional industries.

Therefore, it is the goal and the mandate that a significant part of the production of games is created in Germany and Europe.

Germany is good at consuming – In production, “catching up”

This is how he sees the gaming industry in Germany: Habeck acknowledges that there are issues:

“One must say self-critically. We are good at consuming in Germany, we are catching up in producing.”

For the weakness of the gaming location Germany, he holds responsible that politically the funding has long been neglected and then was too hesitant to support the industry with money. Other European countries have done better. He probably means:

  • Poland (CD Projekt Red)
  • France (Ubisoft)

All 3 European countries have flagship studios that have established themselves internationally with their AAA games.

When a German studio last tried with a AAA title, it failed so catastrophically, that it had to close shortly after.

Money is tight in Germany because it is managed so stringently

Habeck then explains that he would have liked to bring 30 million euros, but he doesn’t have them with him.

Germany has imposed much stricter fiscal constraints on itself than other countries. One must become creative in funding.

Habeck criticizes that one only spends the money that one has: No one does that in the economy; even privately, one takes out a loan when one buys a house or a car. He urges to invest more.

The Green politician then presents some models on how to try to pump more money into the gaming location Germany through “venture capital”, startup funding, various funding pots, or tax advantages. However, much of this sounds vague; there are no concrete commitments. One must first explore.

What happened after? As gameswirtschaft reports, Habeck had a meeting after his speech with some of the most important international gaming publishers like Phil Spencer (Xbox) or Yves Guillemot (Ubisoft).

On Thursday morning, he then completed a two-hour exhibition tour.

Robert Habeck believes that those who play together may not shoot at each other. The President of France has a different view of video games:

I searched for new MMOs on Steam and found 5

Time and again, new games are suggested on Steam that you might easily overlook, including some announced MMOs. MeinMMO author Linda has looked for such games and compiled a small selection for you in this list.

POSTFROST

Start video
Post Frost Trailer

The indie developer Keyplay Studio is working on its first MMO, which welcomes you to a frozen wasteland of the post-apocalyptic world.

To ensure your survival under these harsh winter conditions, you must work together with friends and face the dangers and your enemies together.

As the game is still in development, there may be changes before the release, but here are already some of the known game features:

  • Teamwork and communication play a significant role in sharing tasks and facilitating survival
  • A dog as a companion is included for each player
  • Customization options for your character and dog for the best gear and individual looks
  • Encounter various dangers like constant temperature drops, hunger, or looters on your path
  • Mutated creatures and rival groups represent your enemies
  • Constant changes in the environment such as weather, animal migrations, or cold waves that deplete resources and destroy the world
  • Cities serve as a resource source and offer shelter for many factions with their own rules

How you secure your survival in this world and with whom you choose to navigate this path is entirely in your hands.

When will it be released? Currently, the developers are hoping for a release in late 2024 but honestly state that they, as an indie studio, cannot promise anything. You can already add POSTFROST to your wishlist via Steam.

ONCE HUMAN

Once Human is a multiplayer survival game set to be released on Steam in an open horror world. In this post-apocalyptic world, everything has been infested by an alien creature called Stardust and has changed in bizarre ways.

  • Obtain important items from battles to alleviate the Stardust contamination.
  • Craft a weapon after approximately 100 weapon plans and seven categories, and constantly adapt your weapons to your new needs.
  • Utilize the area core to build your own house. From a small cabin for all important things to a city villa with a garage and terrace, there are no limits here.
  • You have the option to relocate your house again and again.

Once Human looks like an interesting multiplayer game because the world presented to us in the trailer is definitely bizarre but worth another look.

Destiny 2: New aspect from Season 22 is absurdly strong, making you an almost indestructible ghost

In Season 22, Destiny 2 added three new Strand aspects. Each has its strengths, but the Warlock’s Strand aspect is probably the most popular because it is not only absurdly powerful but also revolutionizes the way Warlocks behave in the game.

Update from August 25, 2023, 8:00 PM: Bungie has informed that the Warlock aspect “Weave Walk” has been temporarily disabled and they are working on a solution for a future update. (via Twitter)

As noted by YouTuber Fallout Plays via Twitter, the deactivation is likely due to the fact that the aspect could be insta-terminated with a glaive melee attack, which “certainly was not intended and could easily be exploited.”

We will keep you updated on when this aspect will be available again.

These Strand abilities are now new: Bungie has added more aspects to its latest ability “Strand” in Season 22. A total of three – one for each class.

  • The Hunter received “Whirling Maelstrom,” creating a fierce, swirling mass of Strand fibers that automatically seeks targets and deals damage, also emitting corrosive projectiles when shot.

  • The Titan receives the “War Banner” and becomes the healer. The Strand Banner radiates energy that regularly heals nearby allies and increases melee and sword damage.

  • The Warlock has received “Weave Walk.” He can now move within the Strand’s realm and becomes extremely damage-resistant. While you are in the Weave, you also generate ready-to-use Threads.

In particular, the Hunter and Warlock aspects are currently very popular and have proven to be absurdly strong after the first player tests. However, the Warlock aspect is one of the currently most powerful tools for damage reduction in the entire game and makes you almost invincible in both PvE and PvP.

How absurdly strong the damage resistance of the Strand aspect “Weave Walk” is in Destiny 2 is shown in this video by Fallout Plays and a TikTok by its.chords:

“Who at Bungie approved this aspect?”

This is how strong the new Warlock aspect is: For players, especially the Warlock aspect was a real surprise when they tried it. Because for just one melee attack, there is an absurd damage resistance and extremely quickly generating Strand Threads. Both in PvE and PvP.

  • In PvE, “Weave Walk” provides about 95% damage reduction for a melee attack. Your Warlock is also ignored by all enemies in Weave mode, granting you complete immunity.
  • In PvP, it works similarly well. Here you have about 90% damage reduction and are thus also hard to kill in Weave mode.
  • In addition to this practical effect, your Threads come into play. With the 3 melee charges, you can let your little Strand aphids do the work. It should be noted that Bungie has made the little helpers stronger in Season 22.

In Weave mode, about every 4 seconds melee charges are consumed for these advantages.

Does the Warlock aspect have any downsides? Yes. Its downside is that you are basically a ghost. This means you cannot interact, draw weapons, or revive while in Weave mode. You must also accept that you only get one fragment slot with this aspect.

For most Guardians, however, this is a good compromise for full immunity. On top of that, the “Weave Walk” aspect is a fantastic tool for repositioning.

What does the community say about this overpower? Not only players are wondering whether Bungie really intended to create such a strong aspect. Destiny 2 content creators are also not really sure about it. Some are already expecting a deactivation or adjustment of the aspect.

All aspects are still active. So for now, you can use the new Strand aspects everywhere in Destiny 2 and have fun with them.

How to get the new Strand aspects? To obtain the new aspects, you first need to own the Destiny 2 DLC “Lightfall” and complete the Nimbus quest “Unveiling the Veil.” Afterwards, you gain access to the Veil containment located at the bottom left of the Neomuna map.

If you have already completed all of that, the short mission “Revelation” should be available to you since Season 22. To complete it, you must travel back to the Veil containment and listen to the latest audio protocol. After that, you can return to the “Hall of Heroes” and acquire the new Strand aspects for free at the Pouka pond.

Have you already had the opportunity to try out the new aspects? Then feel free to leave your opinion on their current strength in the comments.

Also in “The Final Shape” in 2024, many new things await the Guardians. Here is a complete summary of all the content and changes of the DLC:

Destiny 2: Xur today – location and offer on 25.08.

Today is Xur Day again, and in Destiny 2, the announcement by Bungie to revise the strange coins is something that the friendly tentacle face from the Nine’s neighborhood is also happy about. After all, this promises to enhance and improve the experience of encountering Xur. But today he is celebrating his debut in Season 22, and we will tell you what he has to offer.

What happened this week in Destiny 2? Savathun is still cunning and sly even in death. She has subtly led Eris Morn to follow her long-planned path in Season 22.

Cayde-6 suspected it would come to this, and Elsie Bray saw this day in an alternate future with the end of humanity. Yet, despite all fears, it has come to pass.

  • Eris Morn has officially transformed into a vengeful goddess of the Hive and has gained a few bony protrusions in addition to her three eyes.
  • The Guardians are her acolytes and must now pay her the necessary tribute for her task to be fulfilled.

But thanks to this metamorphosis, the season start of the “Season of the Witch” was also extremely successful.

The dark setting is well-received, and the new card decks that players can assemble themselves seem to captivate the Guardians even more. Many appreciate that the challenges are scalable in difficulty, similar to in the Blind Well.

Additionally, there is plenty to discover:

However, there are also things that are not going well, as currently, player loadouts are disabled due to a bug:

All Information about Xur on August 25, 2023 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S

Xur will be taking up his job in Destiny 2 again today and will sell you readily available exotic items. But one thing he no longer offers: the exotics from old exo missions. Bungie has now moved them back to their original activities and made the exotic weapons craftable.

When does Xur come? Xur visits Destiny 2 every Friday at 7:00 PM. His visit ends on the following Tuesday at 7:00 PM. During this time, his shop is open, and all Guardians can buy exotic items from him.

Where is Xur? This is his spot for the weekend

Xur’s position: Even after almost 10 years, the search for Xur is still exciting. And that’s a good thing. Because localizing his exact position brings the Guardians together every week. After the weekly reset at 7:00 PM, the search begins, and the Destiny editorial team has long since hidden a beacon in his cloak.

Here is where Xur is located: On Earth in the Last City, check out the Tower’s Hangar

Xur’s Inventory from August 25 – 29 – All Exotics at a Glance

What does Xur have to offer? Xur is known for offering a solid selection of exotic gear and weapons, which he sells to the Guardians in exchange for Legendary Shards on behalf of the Nine.

His inventory changes weekly and offers especially new players the opportunity to enhance their Guardian abilities and prepare more quickly for the challenges in Destiny 2.

Twitch: MontanaBlack’s appearance at gamescom ends for a viewer in the hospital

At gamescom 2022, two influencer scandals caused a stir. This year’s gamescom has so far been comparatively uneventful. However, Twitch streamer Marcel MontanaBlack” Eris (35) did not pass through the fair completely incident-free.

What was the challenge about? During his usually rather calm appearance at gamescom on August 24, 2023, MontanaBlack had his viewers compete in various contests for prizes. In the spiciness contest, participants had to consume increasingly spicy foods.

Those who could not continue or had to vomit were eliminated. The “Hot Chip Challenge” has been making the rounds on Twitch and other platforms for some time. A number of streamers ate the tortilla chip, marketed with 1.8 to 2.2 million Scoville, and shared their reactions live with their viewers.

At gamescom, some content creators now seem to want to turn the tables and let their fans participate in the challenge instead.

Start video
Career and Life of MontanaBlack in 2 Minutes: What Makes Him Unique?

Spiciness Challenge after Stomach Surgery: Not a Good Idea

How did the challenge go? The candidates of MontanaBlack’s spiciness challenge held up well. However, one young woman visibly struggled with the spiciness. “The young lady is not feeling well at all. Please focus on the young lady. The camera, please,” announced the Twitch streamer (via Twitch).

Already before the challenge, the participant had admitted to having recently undergone stomach surgery. This raised alarm bells for some spectators. Because very spicy food can cause discomfort even in healthy individuals, it can be an additional strain for someone with a previously affected digestive tract.

“Here at MeinMMO, our expertise lies in gaming and everything around it, not in medical matters. For more information on spicy food and its potential risks, you can check with the State Center for Nutrition.

“End of the Line” for the Participant

How was the situation handled? The Twitch streamer assured the young woman that she did not have to do anything to prove herself. However, the participant was determined not to go home “empty-handed”.

MontanaBlack and his buddy Marc Gebauer, who accompanied him last year, also discussed a possible consolation prize: “Because I know, if she eats the yellow thing, then it’s end of the line. But actually, we want to see that too.” (via Twitch)

Ultimately, the participant dropped out of the challenge and did not taste the infamous Hot Chip. However, she seemed to quickly regain her composure and was able to smile at the camera again.

Later, MontanaBlack announced that “one of the candidates” who had participated in the spiciness challenge was in the hospital. Reports suggest that this might be the young woman.

While MontanaBlack emphasized that the participants themselves would bear responsibility, he also stated that they would only accept participants who were of legal age “for the sake of conscience” (via TikTok). The current status of the participant is not known.

Overall, however, gamescom seems to be proceeding more calmly and orderly this year. If you want to remind yourself of the escapades of the Twitch streamers from last year, you can do so here:

AMD’s RX 7800 XT, the most exciting graphics card for gamers, is already coming in September – Will it be the next price tip for gamers?

With the RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT, AMD introduced two new graphics cards on August 25. Especially with the RX 7800 XT, many gamers should be addressed. The smaller sister is considered a real price-performance tip.

The most important points at a glance:

  • AMD has introduced the RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT. These are positioned below the RX 7900 XT and are intended to compete with the RTX 4060 Ti and the RTX 4070.
  • Both graphics cards will be available for purchase starting September 6, 2023. The RX 7700 XT for 489 euros and the RX 7800 XT for 549 euros.
  • With FSR 3.0, a revised model of AMD’s DLSS alternative is also coming to market. Both AMD and Nvidia graphics cards will be supported.
  • Good to know: Those who buy an RX 7700 or 7800 XT or a GPU from the 6000 series will receive Starfield for free.

AMD introduced the gamescom 2023 with two new graphics cards: the RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT. Both graphics cards target gamers who prefer to play in WQHD or want to try 4K. This should especially please gamers who have hoped for a smaller GPU after the introduction of the RX 7900 XT and 7900 XTX.

AMD presents these cards as direct competition to the GeForce RTX 4070 and GeForce RTX 4060 Ti . In addition to the RTX 4070, AMD’s RX 7800 XT is likely to become the most exciting card for gamers in 2023.

MeinMMO introduces you to the two new GPUs and explains what you can expect. In particular, the RX 7800 XT could soon become exciting for many gamers.

The RX 7800 XT could replace AMD’s currently most popular graphics card

The RX 6800 XT has always been considered the price-performance tip for anyone looking to buy an AMD graphics card. It offers excellent performance for WQHD (1440p) and enough reserves for users who also want to try 4K. The RX 6800 XT also performs well in ray tracing, even though it cannot keep up with Nvidia’s graphics cards. In many buying guides and recommendations, the RX 6800 XT is still considered the price tip for a WQHD GPU. You can read the test of the RX 6800 XT from our colleagues at GameStar.

Where does the RX 7800 XT stand? AMD positions its new RX 7800 XT similarly. AMD also presents the RX 7800 XT as a WQHD graphics card and describes it as a mid-range graphics card. Thus, it is priced between the inexpensive entry-level graphics cards and the expensive high-end models.

On paper, it offers slightly fewer compute units and fewer stream processors. Both types are responsible for calculations. However, compared to the RX 6800 XT, other values increase:

  • The base clock as well as the boost clock are significantly higher than with the old models.
  • The size of the video memory remains the same; however, the memory is somewhat faster.
  • Power consumption, however, decreases compared to the old RX 6800 XT. Instead of 300 watts, the consumption is only 263 watts.

You can find both GPUs in direct comparison below in the table.

Why is this graphics card so exciting? With the RX 7800 XT, AMD presents its alternative to the RTX 4070. Both graphics cards, from AMD and Nvidia, target gamers who want to play in WQHD. And this is now the largest group of gamers.

More and more people are buying a WQHD display and are looking for a corresponding graphics card. AMD could hit the right note here if it can deliver a better overall offer than the competition.

Are there any benchmarks yet? Kind of. AMD has released a few images where you can see the RX 7800 XT in direct comparison to the RTX 4070. Here you can see that the new AMD card is ahead in some games, while it has to take a step back in others. However, one should always take such official data with caution.

Initial official benchmarks show the RX 7800 XT in direct comparison to the RTX 4070.

What is still missing? What we miss the most is the direct comparison to the RX 6700 XT and RX 6800 XT. In the worst case, it may show at release that the new cards only marginally outperform the old models in performance.

This would make the cards considerably less interesting as a direct upgrade from the 6000 series and would more likely appeal to users who still have an old GTX 1060 or an RX 480 in their PC. In particular, because the upscaler FSR can also be used with old graphics cards and does not require any GPU from the 7000 series.

However, these are purely speculations. The first independent tests, which are likely to come in early September, will provide more insight.

RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT – Release and Price

When will the RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT be released? Both graphics cards will officially be released on September 6, 2023.

What will the RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT cost? The RX 7700 XT is expected to cost 489 euros and the RX 7800 XT is expected to be released at 549 euros.

In a new MMORPG on Steam, you are guaranteed to be the best player: Because there are no others

The new game Erenshor aims to be a single-player RPG in the world of an MMORPG, inspired by games like Runescape. The unique twist: Although the game simulates an MMORPG, there are no other people in the fantasy world, but thousands of quests, items, opponents, and even AI-controlled teammates. A demo is set to launch on September 8.

This is the idea of Erenshor:

  • The game is based on the idea: MMORPGs are great, if only it weren’t for the annoying other players.
  • So Erenshor replaces every player with a bot controlled by AI.
  • The game advertises with the thesis: ‘Experience MMORPG gameplay on your own terms, at your own pace.’

Erenshor aims to impress with an unusual concept:

Start video
Erenshor – „At your own pace.”

An active player base, but you are the only player

How is this supposed to work? The developers promise a fully functioning MMORPG, except the other players are not humans and the ‘O’ stands for offline.

The player is the only human in an active player base trying to navigate the MMORPG: The bots hunt monsters, complete quests, search for powerful items, and invite the player to trade or play together.

In the game, one can discover ‘living cities, dungeons, forests, and beaches,’ collect loot, and become stronger, promises the Steam page of Erenshor.

“Teammates” remember how you treat them

It is said that the teammates will remember the player and recall how he treated them. One should grow as a server to defeat the strongest enemies.

As a key element of the game, ‘persistent simulated players’ are introduced, who level up – whether the player is in the game or not. They also find better items, whether with the player or without him.

And when the ‘teammates’ know you better, they invite you to play together. But you can also go hunting and eliminate the ‘teammates,’ because Erenshor promises: Everyone drops loot, even the ‘good guys.’

Sounds a bit like Tron.

Additionally, there will be no ‘microtransactions’ in the game (‘Never!,’ as the developers promise), and the player gains access to multiple character slots: all heroes share a common bank. Secondary characters also have the option to start with an XP bonus.

What all this will end up being seems unclear at the moment. Surely the success of the game will depend on how authentically the ‘teammates’ behave. There is also the question of whether they will try to cheat you out of the best items in a raid, rip you off in trading – or whether they will insult the player’s mother and/or sister in PvP.

Demo launches on September 8 – Release then in 2024

A first demo is set to be released on September 8, with Erenshor fully launching in September 2024.

If you’re looking for an MMORPG but none for other humans, you don’t have to wait until 2024, but can help yourself here:

Fortnite: Server Down for Chapter 4 Season 4 – This is how the new season started

In Fortnite today, on August 25, the servers across all platforms went down (PC, Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, Android). Maintenance is being used to upload Update 26.00 to the servers.

Friday, August 25, 2023

3:58 PM

So far, the servers are running stable and without problems. Therefore, we are closing our live ticker and wish you a nice weekend!

If you want to see the new Battle Pass, you can follow our overview:

2:04 PM

The servers are now online and you can log in after the queue. Have fun and a nice weekend! If the servers cause problems again, we will inform you.

2:00 PM

When is Fortnite back online? We can’t say exactly. Typically, the servers are reopened at the latest by 1 PM for a smooth season start. It could be that Epic Games is struggling with issues.

So far, we can only speculate, as the official channels of the developers are also silent. We assume that you can play at the latest from 4 PM.

1:35 PM

While the servers still have no intention of letting you in, you can take a quick look at all the items in the Battle Pass. Shiina has summarized them in his YouTube video:

The waiting times are increasing, but still no one can log in. Both Epic Games and leakers are tight-lipped about when the servers will be back online.

12:36 PM

All patch notes are now complete and you can find them in our overview. So far, our attempts to log in have been unsuccessful, and even Fortnite’s official Twitter account does not specify when the servers will be back online. So stay tuned!

12:10 PM

The servers are currently attempting to let players log in to Fortnite through queues. However, if you end up in one of the queues and the timer runs out, you will receive a message that the servers are not responding. It remains unclear when the servers will be ready to be visited.

11:25 AM

If you have downloaded the update, you still cannot log in. It is still unclear how long the server downtime will last. We will keep you updated.

11:23 AM

We have summarized all the current patch notes in our overview. This list is still being worked on and is being updated constantly.

When can you play again? This is a big update. So it is likely that Epic Games could restart the servers at 11:00 AM or even at 1:00 PM. However, this is not confirmed.

When will the patch notes be released? Epic Games usually publishes a list of patch notes on their site after the update. If this happens, we will list them here neatly and clearly.

What content could be released with Update 26.00?

Epic Games reveals hardly any new info about upcoming contents before a new update. However, trusted leakers like Shiina have been keeping an eye on the data that are hidden from regular users for a long time and have a rough idea of what you can expect this time. You can expect the following things (via twitter.com):

Fortnite: New Battle Pass of Chapter 4 Season 4 – All Skins, Pickaxes and Levels

A new Battle Pass has been released with Season 2 – Chapter 4 in Fortnite . Here you can find all the skins, emotes, harvesting tools, and other content that you can obtain in the new Battle Pass.

This is happening right now in Chapter 4 Season 4: Chapter 4 Season 4 has started in Fortnite. In addition to new features on the map, there have also been several story trailers as well as gameplay content that players can expect during Season 2.

If you want to see the patch notes for the new Season 4, we have summarized the most important things for you: Fortnite: Patch Notes for Update 26.00 for Chapter 4 Season 4

Structure of the Battle Pass: As usual, the Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks. The pass of the new Season 4 of Chapter 4 will have the same star system as in Chapter 3 before. So, you have the opportunity to unlock your rewards with stars.

Can I immediately get the last skin of the Battle Pass? No, Fortnite makes sure that you first need to reach a specified level before you can unlock a collection of rewards.

  • If you want to buy a loading screen on page 3, you must first reach level 11.
  • If you like the skin on page 5, you must first reach level 26.
  • If the pickaxe on page 6 is exactly what you need, Fortnite wants you to first reach level 29.

This continues up to page 14. The old system from Chapter 3 has retired. You no longer need to unlock a number of pages before you can obtain your desired item.

You can watch the trailer for the gameplay that we have embedded here:

Is there finally a secret skin? Not this time, the additional skin in the Battle Pass is Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars.

Twitch streamer buys a Lamborghini, waits over a year and then cannot drive it

Cars from the Italian manufacturer Lamborghini are popular as status symbols among Twitch streamers. The German number 1, Elias “EliasN97” Nerlich, has fulfilled his dream of such a car, but then an injury caught him at the worst possible time.

What’s the deal with the Lamborghini? EliasN97 announced in May 2022 that he had treated himself to a Lamborghini Urus for just over €300,000, his absolute dream car. Among Twitch streamers, expensive cars are a sign that you have made it. However, there is a long waiting time.

Thanks to his connections, he was able to reduce the waiting time from two years to just under a year, the streamer revealed (via YouTube). In July 2023, the moment finally arrived. EliasN97 announced on Twitter that the Lambo had arrived in Germany and that he could pick it up soon.

Then everything turned out a bit differently.

Driving ban 1 week before pickup

What happened to EliasN97? On August 4, 2023, EliasN97 injured himself during a match for his soccer team Delay Sports, diagnosis: torn cruciate ligament. For the 25-year-old, who once dreamed of a career as a professional soccer player, then became an esports athlete, and eventually conquered Twitch, this was already the second injury of this kind.

In the meantime, EliasN97 is on the road to recovery and is currently hosting a marathon stream on Twitch. However, the injury had unforeseen consequences that the streamer only realized later.

The streamer was issued a driving ban of 3 to 4 weeks – one week before he was finally supposed to pick up his Lamborghini. However, that was the least of his problems, explained EliasN97 (via TikTok).

Due to the torn cruciate ligament, he could not attend gamescom 2023 this year and will not be able to participate in his own Eligella Cup in September.

Since then, nothing has been seen of the Urus on the streamer’s social media channels. However, EliasN97 announced that there would be photos and a video of the pickup. So it seems the car is not yet in his possession.

Mathematically, the streamer should soon be fit enough to finally receive his dream car.

At least EliasN97 has a driver’s license and will have plenty of time to cruise around in the Lambo after his recovery. If you think that having a valid driver’s license is somehow the logical first step before buying a car, you don’t know the Twitch streamer xQc yet:

Baldur’s Gate 3: The first major patch is here, fixing over 1,000 issues

The first proper update for Baldur’s Gate 3 is here. We reveal what the patch contains and which problems are now part of history.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has been on the market for several weeks now. While the first and second acts of the game generally run well, there were numerous bugs and issues in the final chapter. Annoying bugs that have now largely been fixed. The first “proper” patch is now live and fixes over 1,000 problems and errors throughout the game.

On Steam, the patch is a hefty 2.2 GB – there are really a lot of bug fixes.

What the first patch of Baldur’s Gate 3 improves

We summarize here the most important changes and improvements that are addressed with the patch:

  • Some bugs that froze the game in the last 2 hours of gameplay have been fixed.
  • Bugs were fixed where loot from enemies in multiplayer mode only appears after moving an item in the inventory.
  • The possible romances with Shadowheart and Minthara should now proceed correctly.
  • Many dialogues that were never triggered correctly should now activate.
  • It is no longer possible to recruit Minthara and Halsin at the same time.
  • It should now be obvious when starting a romance with Gale.
  • Gold rewards in the game have been significantly increased.
  • On the easiest difficulty, player characters now have 100% more health (previously 50% more health).
  • The Warlock companions from the “Pact of the Chain” can now use their multi-attack more than once.
  • You can no longer interact with other players’ inventories when their inventory is locked.
  • The kiss scenes for small characters are now functioning correctly again.

If you want to read all the patch notes, you can do so in the official Larian forum. However, please note that some patch notes may contain spoilers due to their nature.

Is there more to come? Yes. The next patch is reportedly already in the works according to Larian and will mainly address performance issues that some players are experiencing. While there isn’t an exact date for the second patch yet, it is said to be “right around the corner” – in other words, “not far away.”

Did you suffer under these bugs? Or didn’t you even notice them?
