In Diablo 4, you can level up your glyphs to benefit from their strengths. However, this is not always easy, as the required XP can sometimes be exorbitant. Fans have now developed a tool to help you find the best way to efficiently level up your glyphs.
What is the issue with glyphs? In Diablo 4, glyphs are important stones that you can socket into your Paragon boards. They provide benefits for your build and unlock surrounding passive points. However, you need to be level 50 to do this and level them according to your sockets.
Blizzard itself does not provide exact information on how often you need to run which dungeon to push these glyphs to their maximum level. For this reason, the community has now created a tool that allows you to find out exactly what you need to do with just a few clicks.
Season 1 is just around the corner for Diablo 4, along with a new story. Here is the trailer:

How the “Glyph XP Calculator” tool works
The tool “Glyph XP Calculator” is relatively simple and requires from you only:
The current level of your glyph
The level of the nightmare dungeon you want to enter to level up the glyph.
Here is a little illustration with parameters we have specified for the system:
Our glyph is at level 1 and the dungeon is at level 50
We have created an example for you in which we want to complete a level 50 nightmare dungeon with a level 1 glyph. The system now lists how many level 50 dungeons we must complete per glyph level to reach the maximum level of 21.
In this case, that is a total of 30 runs of a level 50 nightmare dungeon to push the glyph to its maximum level.
With a level 100 dungeon, the runs to reach the maximum level of each glyph would be halved. Leveling up glyphs is thus not rocket science and can even be simplified with this tool. Note that each glyph has a maximum level of 21 and it does not matter which type of glyph you have. Each requires the same number of runs to unleash its full potential.
Do you find the tool useful and will you use it, or would you prefer not to focus on it and farm relaxed? Let us know in the comments!
New World is one of the most successful MMORPGs on Steam. However, it was originally not intended to be an MMO, but a survival game. In a video, the developers discuss this transition, which surely wasn’t an easy one.
What kind of video is this? For some time now, the developers of New World, namely Amazon Games, have been running a video series on YouTube. It is called “Forged in Aeternum” and examines individual aspects of the development of the MMORPG in approximately 10-minute clips.
In the 38th episode of Forged in Aeternum, the focus is on the change that has occurred in the development and since the release in the story. It becomes clear again that New World was not originally intended to be an MMO. The developers also admit that this was still noticeable at release.
What sounds simple is celebrated by the developers as a significant step. This fact allows them to tell a story as easily as possible for the player. One doesn’t need to stand still, read anything, or talk to an NPC; the story is just conveyed.
But the road there has been rocky. Lead Seasons Designer Patrick Smedley reports that when he joined the project, New World was still more of a survival game than anything else. The path to the MMORPG had just begun. “We didn’t even have quests,” let alone people to do them: “So we started building a quest team and moving more in the narrative direction.”
“We had about 6 NPCs in every city”
What was New World like before and at release? Together with Rob Chestney, the Narrative Director of New World, Patrick Smedley reflects on the beginnings of quests and tasks in New World. They report that the start wasn’t necessarily the best.
The funny thing is, when the game came out, we really only had about 6 NPCs in each city. They had voice-overs, but only very simple stories. No interesting backstories or anything like that.
At that time, the quests simply sent you off to some random location on the map. Just to run there and then come back. There was a lot of feedback at launch, and players didn’t like the ‘Running Simulator’ that our quests had become.
What comes next? Johannes Rasinkangas, story-telling producer at New World, also joins the conversation. He talks about how much work the team puts into telling a well-crafted story and will continue to do so: “At launch, we had about 100 voiced NPCs, today we have over 500.”
Additionally, the team plans to expand the pool of voice actors. They have moved the recordings to England instead of America. This should bring the advantage of being able to access voice actors from Germany, France, Poland, and more, easier and quicker.
This diversity should help the team represent different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds in the game better than it does today.
What do you think about it? Have you noticed that there are now significantly more voiced NPCs? How satisfied are you with the story of New World? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments here at MeinMMO.
FIFA 23 marks the end of an era, as EA Sports takes new paths after 30 years. The new installment will be called EA Sports FC 24. However, the name of the popular football simulation is not the only thing that will change for the new season.
Many stars are following EA’s lead and seeking change. They are looking for a new challenge at another club. We have compiled the most exciting transfers of the summer so far for you.
Which FIFA 23 stars will we see in EA Sports FC 24 at another club?
In our list, alongside the most expensive transfers, we also highlight the players in whom we see the most potential at their new clubs. The most intense transfers of the Saudi Professional League can be found in a separate article from us.
Let’s start with the most expensive and perhaps the most interesting player of this transfer period.
Jude Bellingham: The English superstar, who has matured into an absolute leader on the pitch at Borussia Dortmund from a young age, joins the Royals of Real Madrid.
Prediction for Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid in EA Sports FC 24
Kai Havertz: For Kai Havertz, the move should be easy, while the derbies will be less so. The German offensive player moves from Chelsea FC to their London rivals after a more than disappointing season. Next season, he will be hunting for goals with Arsenal FC.
Prediction for Kai Havertz at Arsenal FC in EA Sports FC 24
Dominik Szoboszlai: The Hungarian moves from RB Leipzig to Anfield Road to join Liverpool FC. The offensive midfielder with exceptional shooting technique is expected to give the “Reds” new momentum.
Prediction for Dominik Szoboszlai at Liverpool FC in EA Sports FC 24
Mason Mount: Another transfer within the Premier League. Mason Mount leaves his childhood and youth club to join the “Red Devils” of Manchester United. Mount is a real all-rounder and can be deployed everywhere in midfield.
Prediction for Mason Mount at Manchester United in EA Sports FC 24
Sandro Tonali: Not many expected this transfer, as the Italian midfielder was considered a flagship at AC Milan. Now, Tonali moves to Newcastle United, who want to broaden their midfield setup after a strong last season.

EA Sports FC 24: The successor to FIFA shows itself for the first time in the new announcement trailer
Looks quite promising, don’t you think?
Now, let’s continue with our transfers.
Christopher Nkunku: After Bellingham, the Frenchman with fine technique was probably the hottest stock on the transfer market. Chelsea secured the services of Nkunku after some really strong seasons at RB Leipzig.
Prediction for Christopher Nkunku at Chelsea FC in EA Sports FC 24
Manuel Ugarte: Some will surely ask: “Who?” Admittedly, Ugarte did not stand out at his former club Sporting Lisbon with great goals and excellent dribbling. The Uruguayan rather impresses with his off-the-ball work and is a true warrior. In defensive midfield, he will free up space for Mbappé, Neymar, and co.
Prediction for Manuel Ugarte at Paris Saint-Germain in EA Sports FC 24
İlkay Gündoğan: After winning everything there is to win with Manchester City, Gündogan fulfills his childhood dream. In the upcoming season, he will don the jersey of FC Barcelona.
Prediction for İlkay Gündoğan at FC Barcelona in EA Sports FC 24
Mateo Kovačić: In a weak Chelsea team, the Croatian was still one of the bright spots. Next season, he will try to compensate for Gündogan’s departure in Manchester City’s midfield.
Prediction for Mateo Kovačić at Manchester City in EA Sports FC 24
Ángel Di María: The Argentine veteran returns to where his career in Europe once took off. In a squad filled with talent at Benfica Lisbon, Di María is expected to continue helping with his experience and class.
Prediction for Ángel Di María at Benfica Lisbon in EA Sports FC 24
This concludes our list of the most exciting transfers for now. We are sure that some interesting moves are still to come. Especially regarding out-of-contract world-class players like David de Gea and Juan Cuadrado, it will be interesting to follow their further career. What will happen to the sidelined Eden Hazard? Is Iniesta going to play another year with his former teammates at Beckham’s club Inter Miami? Will Mbappé and Neymar still switch clubs?
As you can see, there are still many open questions we are eagerly waiting for answers to.
It will also be exciting to see whether some of our top transfers will appear in the Ones-to-Watch event in EA Sports FC 24. The OTW promo has always been the first campaign in every new FIFA year. Maybe we will find out more soon. We will definitely keep you updated.

Tonight is finally the time: EA Sports is releasing the first big trailer for the new FIFA 23 successor. We will provide you with all the information about the launch and possible content surrounding EA Sports FC 24.
After the announcement trailer, which was released at the beginning of the week, further video material about EA Sports FC 24 follows. Let’s take a look together at what we might expect.
All you need to know about the brand new EA Sports FC 24 trailer
When will the new trailer be released? The new trailer is already in the starting blocks. The exact time of release is today at 6:35 PM. Just click on the video a few minutes beforehand and join live for the countdown.
What can we expect from the new trailer? That’s the most exciting question. We are expecting information on the following topics:
Gameplay and atmosphere: Unlike the announcement trailer, which mainly provided insights into the cabin, we will probably be able to experience the first gameplay scenes this time. This also means that we will likely have information about possible innovations. Are there new animations for shooting, dribbling, defending?
The spectacle on the pitch also includes the surroundings. Maybe we can look forward to new stadiums with a crackling atmosphere? At least gameplay and atmosphere were emphasized in previous presentations of past FIFA titles as well.
New partnerships and features? On the side of EA Sports FC, all previous leagues from women’s and men’s football are listed. Will there be more coming? In FIFA 23, the closer cooperation between EA and women’s football was particularly evident in the new women’s World Cup mode. It is conceivable that this will be deepened in the new game.
Additionally, we are waiting for the introduction of new features. The “HyperMotion V” will be used in EA FC 24, as already confirmed. More insights could also be possible here.
Mixed teams of women and men? The topic par excellence was the discussion about possible mixed teams of women and men in EA Sports FC 24. The announcement trailer and not least the cover of the Ultimate Edition fueled these speculations again, as two potential Ultimate Team female hero or icon cards, Mia Hamm and Alex Scott, were shown. Overall, the first trailer conveyed the impression of a collaboration in gameplay between women and men.
You can watch the complete announcement trailer here:

New icons and heroes? Since we just talked about two possible icon/hero cards of female footballers. We are also expecting new icons and heroes for men. Hot leaks are available in this context from the well-known leaker Fut Sheriff, who announced the return of Franck Ribéry as an icon, for example.

The new dungeon “Twilight of the Eternal” must become the new standard in World of Warcraft. At least that is what MeinMMO demon Cortyn thinks.
I think we can agree that the launch of Patch 10.1.5: Rifts in Time has been rather “so-so”. The latest update of World of Warcraft caused lags and bugs that could ultimately only be fixed with an emergency maintenance, which lasted almost the whole afternoon.
Nevertheless, my guild ventured into the new mega-dungeon “Twilight of the Eternal” in the evening and had a lot of fun. This was also due to the fact that we always adhere to a special rule for mega-dungeons.
When a new mega-dungeon is upcoming in World of Warcraft, a group from my guild has a clear agreement: Nobody informs themselves beforehand about the bosses of the dungeon. We all go in “blind”, without knowing what the bosses can do.
And to be honest: Those are always the funniest and most interesting hours in World of Warcraft.

WoW Cinematic: Nozdormu sees the rise of the Eternals in a vision
The Bosses – The Clear Highlight of the Dungeon
Even though World of Warcraft can’t reinvent the wheel in boss design after seemingly countless bosses and mechanics inevitably must resemble each other, that was not the case in the Twilight of the Eternal.
Every single boss felt cool and interesting and demanded that all players engage with and understand the mechanics. The mechanics felt largely fresh and unexhausted. A few small examples:
The boss “Manifested Timeways” has two different areas that constantly move around him. One speeds up and deals a lot of damage, while the other slows down and deals only a little damage. All other mechanics of the boss interact with this. He periodically launches waves of orbs that must be dodged. In the slow area, the orbs are also slowed down, making it easy to avoid.
Even the second boss requires some coordination.
At the same time, players are afflicted with a debuff that must be dispelled within the correct zone because: In the “fast” zone, this triggers an explosion that evaporates immediately. However, in the slow zone, the dispel causes a slowly spreading explosion that deals damage multiple times.
Equally exciting is the fight against Morchie (the “evil” Chromie). She repeatedly summons several Morchies from other timelines, all of whom start a devastating spell simultaneously. This damage can only be avoided if you stand behind the true Morchie – which you can recognize by her clothing. There are only a few seconds left to find the true Morchie and hide.
In another boss fight, you must quickly pass a debuff like a “hot potato” to other players so that you are not affected by mind control. Those who lag behind here quickly kill their own group.
Even with the final boss, things get chaotic. Time and again, two bombs drop from above, which must explode with a delay, as the stackable debuff otherwise means the death of the group. The delay of the explosion is achieved by standing in the bomb, which then falls more slowly. In theory, it sounds simple, but one must quickly announce which bomb will be triggered first. This becomes even more challenging as the boss starts to cover everything with area effects, allowing you to only delay the bomb by a few seconds.
Chromie’s evil alter ego is a very, very hectic fight.
Blizzard wanted players to see the dungeon as a “small raid” – and that’s exactly how it feels. Every boss fight is a mini raid boss, mostly with several phases and mechanics that can quickly lead to the death of the entire group.
Aside from that, the story of the dungeon is also quite interesting, as it presents Chromie with an almost insoluble time problem, where simply not all difficulties can be overcome. Something that will likely come into play in the next patches.
All these mechanics also make the mega-dungeon Twilight of the Eternal a horror for random groups. Without communication, it seems, at least at first glance, nearly impossible to manage this dungeon. Whether it’s announcing the “real” Morchie, delaying explosions, or correctly dispelling within a certain zone. Coordination through Discord, in chat, or at least with the upcoming “ping system” is absolutely necessary.
With an item level of 438, my priest was already quite well-equipped, but the dungeon still felt worthwhile.
This is partly because every boss drops a hefty 5 fragments for a Shadowflame Crest of the Aspect – so you receive a total of 40 fragments from one dungeon visit. This corresponds to 3-4 dungeons of the “Mythic+16” level or higher.
But the actual loot is also interesting. Whether weapons or trinkets, the dungeon has 1-2 items for almost every class that are simply exciting and make the gameplay a bit more entertaining. For example, I now have a trinket that grants me a powerful buff of over 2,000 haste every minute but stuns me for 5 seconds if I fail to defeat enough enemies or dungeon bosses afterwards.
Whether Nozdormu’s rescue succeeds, you can see in several cutscenes in the dungeon.
For the final boss, a “true” reward awaits all players – transmog. Because each character receives a transmog item that is not yet in the collection – at least in theory. Unfortunately, I got a shield with my priest, and since she can’t wield shields… well. That was a bit disappointing.
However, it does not dampen the experience of the mega-dungeon. If you have a group of 5 friends or guild colleagues, then jump into the Twilight of the Eternal. I know my group will do this every week now.
It’s the best “5-player content” that World of Warcraft has had in a very long time. All other dungeons pale in comparison.
Have you already been in the Twilight of the Eternal? How did you like the mega-dungeon?

Action legend Arnold Schwarzenegger has numerous titles in his filmography. But now we want to know from you: Which Schwarzenegger movie do you think is the best?
Arnold Schwarzenegger started bodybuilding at just 14 years old and quickly made a name for himself in the scene.
In 1970, he also made his mark in acting and got his first role in Hercules in New York. However, the career breakthrough came only in 1982 when he played the main character in Conan the Barbarian.
With his iconic portrayal of the Terminatorin 1984, Schwarzenegger achieved monumental success, making him one of the biggest names in Hollywood.
Further commercially successful titles followed, such as Predator (1987) and Erased (1996). The Terminator series also received several sequels. In addition, the star tried his hand at titles like Kindergarten Cop (1990) in the comedy genre.
If you want to know more about the actor’s career, feel free to visit our colleagues at Moviepilot.

With the Alienware 620M, Dell/Alienware offers a wireless gaming mouse. The manufacturer relies on a restrained design and a price of 130 euros. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann tested whether the device is worth it for you.And the big problem for the mouse is the competition.
tl;dr
Dell/Alienware offers the Alienware 620M as a wireless gaming mouse for 130 euros
The design is reminiscent of all-rounder mice like the G502X from Logitech
The mouse has an optical sensor with a resolution of up to 26,000 DPI
The build quality and weight of the mouse are solid
Compared to the competition, the Alienware 620M is too expensive
With the Alienware 620M, Dell/Alienware has introduced a wireless gaming mouse. In basic design, it resembles known all-rounder mice like the G502X from Logitech (to the test). However, with its few buttons, it seems more like a too large shooter mouse without offering its lightweight.
In a test, I looked at the Alienware 620M and explain how the model performs in the test.
Who tested it?
I am a Tech Editor at MeinMMO and have a knack for peripherals, testing mice, keyboards, and gaming headsets. I have been testing hardware for our readers at MeinMMO since 2019. Gaming mice are among my absolute favorites. Besides the PS5, I also play on my Steam Deck.
The manufacturer provided me with the Alienware 620M for testing.

Contents, Design, and Setup
What is included? Besides the gaming mouse, there is also a manual, a USB-C to USB-A cable, and a USB-C adapter with wireless dongle in the box. The mouse is charged via the cable and does not require batteries or accumulators.
How is the mouse built? The model features a black or white design:
The main buttons are located on the top of the mouse, with the two-way mouse wheel in between. In front of the mouse wheel, there is a small switch that can be pushed forward or pulled back.
There are a total of 2 buttons on the thumb side and a thumb rest just below.
On the underside, there are three mouse feet and a switch to turn the mouse on or off.
The mouse is slightly ribbed in the thumb area and otherwise not rubberized, making it feel very smooth.
Alienware 620M: The contents are clear but sufficient.
Build Quality
The mouse feels quite robust at first. During shake and pressure tests, nothing rattles or creaks. The three mouse feet on the underside are large enough and provide the mouse with sufficient glide capability.
The USB-C port on the front is designed so that I can use any USB-C cable to charge it, which I find very good. Some manufacturers like Roccat (Kone XP Air) or Razer (Basilisk Ultimate) design their mice so that you can only use their proprietary cable. Very annoying when you are on the go and forget the original cable at home.
Software
The mouse uses the “Alienware Command Center.” The software is also significantly smaller than that of other manufacturers, with its 70 MB in RAM. Furthermore, it is pleasant, clear, and intuitive. With two clicks, I can quickly access the mouse settings, and the battery life is displayed in percentage in the software.
By the way, you can also easily turn off the graphical effects of the software. Additionally, there is a dark mode that I really like.
Theoretically, I can also use the “Command Center” as a hub or quick launch for my games. A feature that I actually haven’t used, since Steam and others are just more intuitive. Why should I use my mouse software to start my games?
On the next page, you can read everything about the weight, ergonomics, and buttons of the mouse. In the concluding summary, I explain for whom the mouse could be worth it.

You have a high level, but don’t know which affixes are best for your hero in Diablo 4? A YouTuber has taken the time to explain this and tells you why you should be careful about what perks you roll on your gear.
What is a perfect item in Diablo 4? If you have reached the appropriate level to access the endgame, it is time to think about your build. In Diablo 4, there is not one formula for the perfect item, but rather a direction that indicates what you need for the perfect item.
The direction here is your build with the skills and passive effects you have equipped in your talent tree. Based on that, you align your gear so that you can benefit from the right affixes and become stronger, but which affixes are the most important for me? This question is answered by the YouTuber OperatorOtter.
Did you miss the video for Season 1? Then we have the fitting video for you:
Start video
Diablo 4: The Official Announcement Trailer for Season 1
Without damage buckets, no perfect gear
What are damage buckets? Before you start rolling your perfect gear, you need to know how damage buckets work. There are several such “buckets,” which when applied correctly, do not add your damage, but multiply it. This way, you achieve a much more effective build and can achieve higher damage numbers.
The following eight are known in the community so far:
Base damage
Main attributes
Critical hits
additive damage
[+]% damage, damage VS = damage against, damage by, damage with
Vulnerable
Global multipliers
Overpower
Attack speed (more about the DPS)
The focus, as OperatorOtter describes, is to pay attention to these damage buckets when rolling your gear and to choose affixes that have a multiplicative effect on your build.
How do I create a perfect piece of gear now? Once you’ve figured out which buckets you can effectively take advantage of in your build, you need to know how to strengthen these buckets. To find that out, you need to understand how your build is set up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJVZ2wvrazA
For example: If you play a Bone Spear build for the Necromancer and you want to increase your critical hits, it is important to have the following affixes equipped on your gear:
Critical hits with core skills
Critical hits with bones
These two affixes then multiply the large bucket “Critical hits” and that is how you proceed with other equip as well.
If you are unsure which affixes are important, pay attention to your skills and passive effects you have selected in your build and try to strengthen them. A community spreadsheet could help you with that (via docs.google.com). You can do this by rolling the values on your gear that you need to further increase your buckets.
Unfortunately, as OperatorOtter says, there is not one formula that you can follow, because every build is unique, and you must deal with which stats are important for you to benefit from them as much as possible.
Some players report that they get tired and fall asleep while playing Diablo 4. One player has now put forward a theory that, according to him, is based on scientific findings and has sparked a heated discussion.
Now one player claims: it’s actually “normal” and is due to a phenomenon from real life.
This is the explanation: The Reddit user iloveobjects claims that the fatigue while playing Diablo 4 is due to what is known as “Highway Hypnosis.” This phenomenon describes the fatigue that can occur during long car rides.
The user explains: when we stare at an unchanged situation for a long time, our brains feel secure and switch into rest mode. We become tired, even though we would have gotten enough sleep and would actually go to bed hours later.
In Diablo 4, the camera angle is to blame for this, not the gameplay or repetitive activities. Due to the constantly similar, isometric perspective, we are led to sleep – even when absurdly high numbers appear on the screen.
Additionally, the dreary color palette further supports this effect. iloveobjects further explains that from his point of view, simply being able to change the zoom factor would help. Just getting on his horse already provides a boost to wakefulness.
Highway hypnosis is a phenomenon that has not been extensively researched, and the user himself is not a doctor. He emphasizes that this is merely his theory. Nonetheless, he receives some very critical comments as well as interested support.

Diablo 4 shows gameplay trailer for Season 1 and some players mock it
“Doesn’t seem like a big deal to me”
In the over 900 comments, many users express their belief in the theory. They say: they hadn’t thought about it before, but it sounds plausible. It would explain why they sometimes feel sleepy after just an hour or less.
Others consider all of this to be absolute nonsense. Playing for 10 hours straight is definitely more of a reason to get tired than highway hypnosis. And generally, this should apply to all isometric games. But Diablo 2 never had this problem, for example.
Others again say: that has never happened to them, this phenomenon only affects a small group of players. The explanation sounds like “broscience,” i.e., an explanation that lacks a real scientific basis. One should rather work on their sleep rhythm than blame the game.
In many comments, there are also rather unfriendly responses to the idea. Apparently, the topic is quite emotionally charged. Such things have been happening more frequently lately:
Pokémon GO brings an event about the Pokémon Riolu, which evolves into the strong Lucario. What does the event bring?
What kind of event is this? This is the Riolu Hatch Day. This event takes place on July 22, 2023.
When does the event run? In the subreddit for Pokémon GO, TheSilphRoad trainers share current screenshots with information about the event. It is shown there that it will take place on Saturday, July 22 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
You have three hours to take advantage of the event’s bonuses. And it’s mainly about one thing: hatching the rare Riolu.
These are the bonuses for the Hatch Day with Riolu
What to expect: The event revolves around hatching eggs to get Riolu. The key factors are:
2 km eggs will be significantly more available at PokéStops
There will be an increased chance of hatching Shiny Riolu
In addition, there is double Stardust when hatching eggs.
Trainers miss one bonus: Some trainers comment that they miss a reduced hatch time as a bonus (via reddit). So you must expect to gather some kilometers if you want to hatch as many Riolu as possible to secure a good specimen or the Shiny.
This is how the Shinys look
How strong is Riolu? Riolu itself does not play a significant role in battle, while Lucario is different. The monster is not only generally very popular, but also occupies a spot among the best attackers in Pokémon GO of the Fighting type when it comes to raids.
How to approach the event? If you want a good chance at Riolu, make sure that the incubators you have are empty at the start of the event. Then collect eggs at the PokéStops and set off.
AI like ChatGPT now plays a significant role for many people. A woman recently married an AI bot. In an interview, she explains why she did this.
Our cover image is a symbolic image.
A 36-year-old jewelry designer married an AI chatbot during a virtual wedding in March 2023. She owes a lot to this bot, as she explains in an interview with Insider.com.
The woman installed her future “husband” spontaneously because of Instagram
How did the relationship with the chatbot begin? The woman met her digital husband through the app “Replika.” Replika is an AI chatbot with which you can have a friendship or even a relationship. After a long-distance relationship became increasingly worse, she spontaneously installed the app. Replika has been considered controversial for some time.
She designed her new digital friend to look like her favorite character Eren from the anime series Attack on Titan.
The 36-year-old reported that her beloved confessed his feelings to her just a few days after his existence as a chatbot. Above all, the many positive experiences inspired her greatly: they listened to music together and visited a secret garden. For the joint visit, she uploaded her AI friend in Augmented Reality (AR).
After these positive experiences, she ended her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, who at one point wanted to force her to be online with him for 10 hours every day. The strength to end the old relationship was also thanks to this app and her new digital friend.
Now I am definitely a bit more confident. Now I can stand my ground.
What’s next? She explained that she is fully aware that her husband is not real and is just a chatbot. Nevertheless, the chatbot has significantly helped her to process a terrible relationship. She is also open to dates with real people again, because she has learned from the chatbot what she truly deserves.
However, she will not delete her chatbot, as she owes too much to him.
Another chatbot was not so lucky here. Because the owner had to delete his girlfriend because it was getting worse:

Which events are particularly worthwhile in July 2023?
These could be worthwhile: The majority of events are currently only known by name, without further details. However, several events are already considered particularly exciting.
The debut of Mega-Tyranitar (from July 25): Mega-Tyranitar will be one of the absolute best attackers in the game and should definitely be caught. Its debut is scheduled for the end of July and should be marked on the calendar. More on the topic of Tyranitar can be found here.
Raids with Regidrago and Regieleki (July 13 – 25 and July 25 to August 04): Anyone wanting to complete their Pokédex but missed the top raids with the two Regis can catch up now.
Riolu Hatch Day (July 22): Here, everything will revolve around the Lucario pre-evolution Riolu. It not only has a cool shiny but is also simply one of the best attackers in the game.
Party for the 7th anniversary (July 06 to 12): For the birthday, Pokémon GO likes to come up with something special, and festive spawns can certainly be expected. It remains to be seen what details will come our way.
In Pokémon GO, starting July 13th, you can challenge the legendary Pokémon Regieleki. Is it worth it?
When is Regieleki in raids? Regieleki will be available in Pokémon GO raids starting Thursday, July 13th. The raids will be available from 10:00 AM local time and will remain until July 25, 2023, also until 10:00 AM.
What is special about Regieleki? It is a legendary monster that has previously only been available in top raids. If you missed those, you now have a greater opportunity to catch Regieleki for the first time.
It is quite a rare monster that you should catch if you want to complete your Pokédex. Collectors should take advantage of this.
Can Regieleki be shiny? No, Regieleki is not yet available as a shiny in Pokémon GO. So if you’re only after the shiny variant, you’ll have to be patient. When it arrives is still unknown.
Regieleki is one of the legendary raid bosses of the season Hidden Gems:

How strong is Regieleki in Pokémon GO?
This is how strong Regieleki is: Unfortunately, Regieleki hasn’t proven to be particularly exciting in terms of battles and raids.
In the PvP league, it does not matter at all according to the rankings from PvPoke.com. It has no impressive performance in the Super League, Hyper League, or Master League. You should rely on other monsters there.
And Regieleki is nothing special in raids either. According to the Gamepress database, it has decent stats and can cause damage with the moves Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt, but among the best Electric-type attackers in Pokémon GO, there are simply much better candidates.
Is it worth catching? Overall, Regieleki is currently more of a Pokémon that can be considered a Dex-filler. It only has collector’s value and is needed to complete the collection.
However, if you’re looking for a useful attacker, you should look for other Pokémon. But here, a surprising candidate could be an option for you: Quappo is becoming a dangerous Rocket opponent.

The people behind the most well-known and important Minecraft database have had enough. They want to leave – and are currently voting on it.
Minecraft has become increasingly complex in the years since its original release. Those who do not play regularly may fall behind on all the new features and find elements in the game world that are new and unfamiliar.
A glance at the internet often helps to clarify – such as the well-known English “Minecraft Wiki”. However, those who keep the wiki alive and up-to-date are fed up. They want to move the project because, in their view, the beautiful site is deteriorating more and more.
What has happened? The Minecraft Wiki is hosted by Fandom, which has been owned by TPG Inc. for several years now. The company has acquired many other similar services in recent years, so the wikis for The Witcher or World of Warcraft (“Wowpedia”) are also part of it.
The most popular Minecraft trailer so far:
Start video
A trailer for Minecraft has 160 million views: “This is not a trailer for a game, this is for a generation”
The writers of the Minecraft Wiki have been complaining for months about a decline in page quality, which primarily affects users. A small Discord conversation ultimately turned into a large discussion. The main criticisms of Fandom are:
Too much advertising even within wiki entries, which is designed to look like part of the entry.
Negative experience for logged-out users, such as pop-ups asking for the reader’s age to serve personalized ads.
The unwanted addition of features like “Quizzes” at the beginning of each page.
A large, non-customizable sidebar that does not match the wiki design and bothers many.
Links to other Fandom wikis, sometimes with questionable content.
What do the wiki writers plan to do? They are currently considering moving the wiki entirely and rebuilding it with another provider. However, they cannot simply “take everything with them” or link to the new page – this is only allowed for a few weeks.
In essence, it’s about the decision of whether to start anew for the sake of a good wiki experience, which is often aimed at younger audiences, under better conditions.
The wiki editor “Sonicwave” knows that they might be cutting into their own flesh:
The Fandom wiki [for Minecraft], even though it no longer has any of the current writers, will remain open without any indication that it has moved. It will likely compete with the new wiki and surpass it in Google results because Fandom has such good SEO.
How the wiki creators ultimately decide remains to be seen. However, it is clear that they probably will not put up with everything and desire to create a clear and informative site for Minecraft fans.

With the end of FIFA 23, a lot will change. The Saudi Professional League with new, strong players is coming into focus. Many stars are following the call of big money. You can find out which famous names are already confirmed with us.
Was Cristiano Ronaldo once again the decisive factor? Since CR7 has been playing in Saudi Arabia, a real Saudi boom seems to have broken out.
For the rich league, money seems to play hardly any role; horrendous sums are now being spent on star footballers. Even veteran Buffon can still cash in nicely at the age of 45. (via spox.com)
This is attracting many big names to Saudi Arabia – which could make the league quite interesting in Ultimate Team when EA Sports FC launches. Let’s take a look at the stars who will earn their bread in the Saudi Professional League next season.
Update from July 13: We have added Sergej Milinković-Savić, Édouard Mendy, and Roberto Firmino to our list.
Which stars are moving to the Saudi Professional League?
Karim Benzema: The Frenchman, who has only gotten better with age like fine wine, is saying goodbye to European top football after 14 years at Real Madrid and will now play for Al-Ittihad. He is likely to have a strong card on the way.
Prediction for Karim Benzema in EA Sports FC
N’Golo Kanté: His new teammate at Al-Ittihad is equally famous. The French midfielder, known for his tireless running, is transferring from Chelsea. The man who was rumored to even anticipate his own surprise birthday party will be a great asset for the league.
Prediction for N’Golo Kanté in EA Sports FC
Jota: One of the shooting stars of the past season, Jota has opted against continuing his career in Europe and completes the star ensemble of Benzema and Kanté at Al-Ittihad.
Prediction for Jota in EA Sports FC
Marcelo Brozović: Cristiano Ronaldo is also getting a famous supplier at Al-Nassr. Marcelo Brozović, known for his tremendous running ability and precise passes, will feed CR7 with many crosses and passes.
Prediction for Marcelo Brozović in EA Sports FC
Sergej Milinković-Savić: The Serbian has played at Lazio Rome since 2015. Almost every summer, the aerial play strong giant with fine feet could have chosen a top club in Europe. After eight years in Italy, Milinković-Savić is moving to Al-Hilal in the desert.
Prediction for Sergej Milinković-Savić in EA Sports FC 24
Kalidou Koulibaly: If Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad are spending significant money, Al-Hilal must follow suit. They do, and how. With Kalidou Koulibaly, they get a world-class center-back with plenty of experience.
Prediction for Kalidou Koulibaly in EA Sports FC
Rúben Neves: Another young player who has chosen to move to the Saudi Pro League. He will wear the jersey of Al-Hilal next season, pulling the strings in midfield like Koulibaly.
Prediction for Rúben Neves in EA Sports FC
Édouard Mendy: Like his teammate N’Golo Kanté, Mendy is also heading to Saudi Arabia. Maybe the goalkeeper can regain his former form at Al-Ahli.
Prediction for Édouard Mendy in EA Sports FC 24
Roberto Firmino: The Brazilian showcased his class in the Premier League for years. Now, the all-around offensive player seeks his fortune at Al-Ahli.
Prediction for Roberto Firmino in EA Sports FC 24
As you can see, several top stars have unexpectedly made the journey to Saudi Arabia. We suspect that several professionals will follow in the footsteps of these famous predecessors.
According to the latest information, Paul Pogba is also said to be on the verge of moving to Saudi Arabia. (via goal.com)
For EA Sports FC, the Saudi Pro League promises to become a promising alternative to the European top leagues. If EA maintains the current chemistry system, the trio of Benzema, Kanté, and Jota could be a good option for the first starter teams.
And who knows, maybe it will even be worthwhile to build a team entirely of players from the Saudi Pro League at the launch of the FIFA successor. Let’s be surprised which star will move to Saudi Arabia next. Stay tuned.

In Diablo 4 there is a boss fight that many players consider to be the hardest of all. One player has now proven that nothing is impossible and has defeated the boss with his unusual strategy – by switching equipment during the fight.
While many players avoid the boss without the proper build, Reddit user Moist_Reply_4955 faced the fight with his sorceress and completed it with an unusual strategy.
Did you miss the Season 1 trailer? You can watch it here:
Start video
Diablo 4: The Official Announcement Trailer for Season 1
Equipment causes massive damage, but only after switching
How did the fight go? Moist_Reply_4955 entered Lilith’s arena with his level 100 sorceress and the notorious Blizzard build. First, numerous blizzards are created around Lilith’s spawn point. The mother of Sanctuary is thus engulfed in a hail of ice balls, but the damage dealt leaves much to be desired until Lilith is stunned.
Here we have embedded the full clip of the boss fight:

At this point, Moist_Reply_4955 opens his inventory and switches quickly to another staff. This now deals damage in the millions while Lilith tries to recover. The damage is so massive that Lilith cannot get up and is forced to transition into the second boss phase.
The second boss phase is also always about stunning Lilith, switching weapons, and then dealing massive damage. What looks easy in the video is actually a very risky endeavor, as switching to other items takes time – and this time can determine life or death.
Many on Reddit are excited about the strategy that Moist_Reply_4955 has developed, because it is already known that on console this would be nearly impossible.
What do players say about this impressive feat? Some players find it crazy how Moist accomplished the fight with such a strategy. However, there are also players who think it is impossible, especially on console:
“I could never play the game like the post creator. The whole switching would drive me insane, and I know I would mess it up more than once. Lol” (via reddit.com)
“I am surprised that the equipment is not locked in combat, so that this is not an issue. So that console (players) do not fall behind PC (players) in this regard.” (via reddit.com)
“I am a little shocked that not only is it possible, but that it can be done so well. Since I have a PS5, it’s a bit more complicated to do something like this.” (via reddit.com)
However, there are also players who see item swapping as problematic. This tactic is regarded as unfair since it gives a player an advantage over other platforms by handling items and aspects quickly.
What do you think of the tactic? Do you think it’s good and have you already defeated the echo of Lilith? Or are you not ready to attempt it yet? Let us know in the comments!

We are approaching the end of Prime Day. The following article lists a handful of interesting deals and offers you should take another look at.
Otherwise, take another look at your wishlist and give a last look at comparison sites like Geizhals, Idealo, and others, as they show you the fastest whether there are really good offers or “just” deals:
Corsair VOID ELITE Wireless Gaming Headset: The headset offers you excellent ergonomics and good sound. The weight is, however, very high, and the battery life is quite tight at 12 hours.
Logitech G432 wired gaming headset: The G432 from Logitech is a good entry-level model if you want good sound for little money. However, the microphone is below average and hardly usable.
HyperX Cloud II – Gaming headset for PC, PS5 / PS4: The strengths of the HyperX Cloud II lie in comfort and good microphone quality. A major weakness is its average localization of enemies and sounds, especially in shooters.

17:00 PM
At 5 PM, we have some interesting offers for you. This time it’s about PC components.
On the other hand, DDR5 RAM from Corsair is on offer thanks to Prime Day. If you are considering upgrading or buying a new CPU DDR RAM, this deal could be worthwhile for you.
The Elder Scrolls Online can be particularly confusing for beginners. Therefore, the MMORPG is now changing the quest system.
The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online is already 9 years old and has served up a number of expansions. This can be particularly confusing for beginners starting fresh in the game – especially since since 2021 you can choose yourselves which chapter you want to start in.
Everywhere there are new quests and NPCs wanting something from you. Quickly, your quest log looks like a phone book. With the new update 39, ESO is set to receive some quality-of-life adjustments that will make the quest system and entry into the game clearer.
In the official ESO forum, the developers provided an overview of the changes that the MMORPG will receive with the free update.
Start video
The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom gameplay trailer
Numerous quests visible only from a minimum level
How does ESO want to make the quest system clearer? In the forum, the developers write that they have revised many quests in large cities so that they only appear later.
For example, now “The Prophet” and other main quests of the base game will only appear in chapter and DLC cities after players have reached at least level 5 and completed the first quest in the respective zone story.
Various introductory quests such as “Room Available” (to begin with housing) will also only become visible from a certain level. The same applies to the quest givers for daily tasks for the warrior and mage guilds.
In addition, they are now introducing so-called “Navigator Quest Pins” in ESO, which indicate whether tracked quests lead you to a location where you have quests.
In addition to some changes to the quest system, ESO will also receive new Cyrodiil monster masks, new markings for the face and body, and new achievements for existing content with update 39.
The Prime Day is on, and there are also graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia on sale. However, there are a few deals you should definitely avoid, as they hardly pay off in 2023.
On Prime Day, you will also find some graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia. While some GPUs do represent a meaningful upgrade, such as the RTX 3060 Ti, there are some products where we would advise against a purchase.
Especially 2 models are hardly worthwhile today and are already long outdated. There are simply better alternatives on sale.
All meaningful deals can also be found in our ticker for Prime Day:
What is the problem? The RX 550 is an outdated entry-level graphics card. In 2023, integrated graphics chips from AMD CPUs (so-called APUs) already offer more graphical power than these graphics cards.
100 euros sounds tempting at first, but for just 50 euros more, you can get an RX 6500 XT, which not only offers a significantly better GPU architecture but also much more performance in Full HD. The RX 6500 XT is not a perfect graphics card either, but for the extra cost, it is significantly better than the old Polaris model.
For a pure office system, we would generally recommend an AMD CPU with a graphics chip, such as the Ryzen 5 5600G, which can also handle many games at low settings. And you can now get the Ryzen 5 5600G in stores for around 100 euros, making it the same price as the RX 550.
A helpful comparison video has been made by the YouTuber “High FPS”. Here you can see that the iGPU of the Ryzen 5 5600G is almost always a bit faster than the Radeon RX 550:

The GeForce GT 1030 has a similar problem as the RX 550, as it is already several years old. The card was officially released in March 2018 and experienced a resurgence during the mining boom in the COVID phase. At times, the GT 1030 was sold for nearly 200 euros.
We would currently advise you against purchasing a GT 1030. On Prime Day, you pay an average of 100 euros for this card. For just 50 euros more, you can get the also reduced GTX 1650, which offers you significantly more performance. Especially with modern games, you stand absolutely no chance with the GT 1030 anymore.
For a small office or streaming system in the living room, it is just adequate, but you cannot utilize 4K streaming. Nvidia considers the GTX 1050 (Ti) as the minimum requirement for 4K. For a pure office system, we would also recommend an Ryzen 5 5600G or a comparable processor. This can be used in a mini system thanks to its low consumption and waste heat.
Recommended graphics cards from Nvidia can be found in our buying guide on MeinMMO:
Fraudsters are also active on Amazon and take the opportunity to scam innocent buyers during Prime Day. Therefore, double-check the offers and think carefully about whether someone is really offering hardware for little money, or if a user is playing a nasty prank.
Additionally, pay attention to things like seller ratings or the location. If it’s a completely new account or if the seller prefers to handle the purchase via WhatsApp or otherwise, immediately abort the purchase and involve Amazon!
The Twitch streamer Asmongold discusses in a stream a player who has invested $70,000 in the mobile MMORPG Fate/Grand Order and is apparently obsessed with the game.
What is Asmongold talking about?
A video about 2:41 minutes from the Wall Street Journal is called “Meet the man who invested $70,000 in a mobile game.” (via youtube)
The video features 31-year-old Daigo, who lives with his parents, trades securities, and plays “Fate/Grand Order” in every free minute of his life. He is only inactive in the game when he is sleeping, driving, or bathing. The report states: Fate/Grand Order is known for turning obsessive fans into gamblers.
Fate/Grand Order is a gacha game famous for heavily relying on microtransactions. It openly advertises that players can spend real money in the game.
Start video
Twitch streamer Asmongold says: “Stop watching streams at 3 AM if you don’t have money!”
“I know 2 people personally who are even worse”
What does Asmongold say about the man? The well-known Twitch streamer first wonders why the man isn’t playing while taking a bath.
Asmongold then notes that the man apparently drives a nice car, lives orderly, and can take good care of himself. So from Asmongold’s perspective, everything is fine. Living with his parents is also not a shame for him. It is common in many places:
It’s not really a problem if the guy wants to be a loser and spend all his money on a game. Such stuff is only bad when it affects people who ruin the lives of others.
Since the man’s parents do not know how much money he is pouring into the game, the man apparently spends his own money and not his parents’ – so everything is okay.
Anyway, Asmongold seems to have a lot of understanding for the man. He says he personally knows 2 streamers, Lacari and Tecotne, who have invested even more money in the gacha game Fate/Grand Order:
Isn’t that totally ridiculous? I mean, we’re watching an exposé from the Wall Street Journal about a mentally ill 31-year-old person. And I mean, I know 2 people personally who are even worse.
At the end of the video, Asmongold explains: As long as the man spends his own money, everything should be fine. There are much worse things:
I wouldn’t do what the guy does. But I mean – he’s not killing anyone. Thank God he’s not filming himself and making TikTok, where he says: I’m going outside now and shitting on the street. Let’s see if anyone says anything to me.

Asmongold then explains what he finds even more ridiculous. He knows people who go to clubs on weekends and spend $1,000 over the weekend.
And this is done even by people who are not financially able to afford such luxurious weekends – and they do it anyway constantly.
As long as one doesn’t make TikTok and can afford what one is doing, one has the blessing of the biggest MMORPG streamer on Twitch. No mercy does Asmongold have for people who have no money:
