With YouTube, you can earn quite a bit of money, at least some. A major tech YouTuber has now talked about his earnings. Although he made 26 million US dollars from advertising on the platform, that is just a tiny part of his income.
Which YouTuber is it about? Linus Tech Tips is one of the largest YouTube channels when it comes to technology. Since 2008, he and his team have been uploading videos about PCs, gadgets, or other technical aspects and has over 16 million subscribers (as of: December 6, 2025).
He also makes quite a few clicks; his largest YouTube video has over 23 million views. In an interview, he spoke about the channel’s earnings. Despite a high number, the YouTube revenues are actually not that much in comparison.

What does Linus Tech Tips say about YouTube earnings? In an interview with Jon Youshaei (YouTube), Linus Tech Tips, whose real name is Linus Gabriel Sebastian, talked about various aspects of the YouTube channel. Right at the start, they both discuss the statistics and revenues of Linus Tech Tips, which belongs to the Linus Media Group that Linus founded in 2012.
Linus shows Jon his statistics over his entire YouTube period. The channel has reached 9 billion clicks. The AdSense revenues of the channel during this time amount to approximately 26.3 million US dollars (around 22.6 million euros) according to the interview. AdSense is the income that channels make from the ads placed before and in the YouTube videos. This does not include product placements.
The video that is said to have made the most AdSense revenue is I love Building Computers (YouTube). With 15 million views, the video is said to have earned 139,000 US dollars, which is about 120,000 €. According to Linus, he claims to have paid more in salaries for his employees during that time than he made with the AdSense revenue. Later in the video, his sources of income are broken down again:
55.4% from products
12.5% from completely sponsored videos or projects
11.6% from AdSense
9.2% from sponsors
7.2% from members on the FloatPlane platform (a content subscription platform by Linus Tech Tips)
3% from affiliates
1.1% from Others
A major disadvantage that Linus mentions regarding AdSense is that one cannot rely on it well during months with fewer clicks. On the other hand, he praises FloatPlane for being significantly more consistent. With the sponsors, Linus Tech Tips also has another buffer in case AdSense is not that reliable.
Housing in World of Warcraft is a great success – if you look at social media. But is that really true? We want to find out.
For just over half a week, World of Warcraft finally has a feature that other MMORPGs have had for years or even decades: housing or player dwellings. Those who have already purchased the upcoming expansion “Midnight” can visit the housing area and work together with their guild or random players on a large neighborhood, realizing the dream of a digital home.
Start video
WoW: Early access to housing has started
Housing is not a completely separate feature that only exists in the new neighborhood areas: everywhere in Azeroth (and all other worlds), players can earn decorations and furniture, or chop wood to commission craftsmen to create new housing objects. This means that currently, in almost every old area, you will encounter many characters looking for inspiration or just loot for their homes.
Housing – Really strong or no content at all?
If you look at social media, such as the WoW subreddit, on X or in the official forum, you will see many players proudly displaying their homes and enthusiastically discussing the many possibilities the feature offers.
But now we want to know how housing is received by you, our MeinMMO community. Therefore, we have prepared a small survey where you can show us whether you are a fan of housing or if you have a more negative view of the whole thing.
If you want, you can also explain in the comments how you came to your assessment. What excites you the most about housing in World of Warcraft? What has become terrible? Where is there still room for improvement?
If you haven’t fully warmed to housing yet, you might still be missing inspiration or the right tips to implement really great ideas in your home. In that case, you should definitely check out our 3 tips for housing that you should know before starting.

For over 10 years, MeinMMO editor Alex has called the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV his second home and is one of those who usually hardly misses any content. However, the game is now forcing him to urgently change something, and he seems to be far from alone in this.
With well over 10,000 hours, Eorzea has long been my favorite virtual home. However, the current endgame of Dawntrail is prompting me to urgently need to change my gaming experience to stay engaged.
And I seem not to be alone in this, as Final Fantasy XIV is currently struggling with dwindling player numbers, which veterans may remember reminiscent of the drought during the weakest expansion, Stormblood.
At the current time, there are around 880,000 active players in Final Fantasy XIV according to the census, compared to a peak of about 1,500,000 – 1,700,000 during the Endwalker expansion and similar numbers during Stormblood at around 850,000 – 950,000 (see luckybancho.ldblog.jp). This indicates a decline of about 30 – 40% since the last expansion and the player peak.
It is hardly surprising that I am struck by the same feeling that I last had during the Stormblood expansion in 2017. The endgame simply lacks a lot, and this situation is just the tip of the iceberg that Dawntrail has already created.
But giving up my favorite MMORPG completely? No, this inertia and boredom are not strong enough, and the fundamental love for Final Fantasy XIV is too great. Because Dawntrail also has its strengths, which just need a little more spice.
Who is writing here? MeinMMO editor Alexander Mehrwald has been traversing Eorzea mainly as a Dark Knight since the beginning of the Heavensward expansion in 2015 and does not shy away from tough content. Currently, he is primarily haunted by rays and yellow sheep in his dreams at night. You know how it is.

A fresh experience is needed when adrenaline is lacking
Why are we experiencing a second Stormblood? Dawntrail is struggling with similar problems that Stormblood faced around 2017. After the Heavensward expansion and the dramatic end of the Dragon War, Stormblood had to build a new, more politically-charged story. Many perceived the pacing as significantly “slower” and less emotional.
Even the epic raids are quickly exhausted and have many mechanics that are less challenging and instead annoying and fiddly, making the weekly raids hardly enjoyable. However, they are visually really well done and the wrestling-arena vibe is truly engaging.
In short: The endgame currently offers little that can truly retain regular players. This, combined with the generally shallower execution of the expansion, also explains the decline in active players. Even head Naoki Yoshida saw that the team had become too complacent and promised improvements in the future.
The latest patches and especially the finale of Dawntrail were already significantly better and could also convince fans again. However, this improvement did not last long enough. And all of this is the reason why I now had to bring my joy of the game back myself, just as I did back during Stormblood.
How have I made the game exciting for myself again? There are reasons why I have liked the game so much until now, and why I have stayed engaged without taking long breaks. Therefore, I thought about what makes the game so good for me and how I can create new experiences that motivate me to check in more often than just for the weekly raids.
I also considered why it feels so monotonous for me right now and what I can do to make it feel fresh again. So I sought out the following things that might help you get out of your “Dawntrail hole”:
I went unsynchronized into content from old expansions and tried to complete them solo. This way, I faced new challenges and could simultaneously farm items I had wanted for a long time.
I took on jobs that I rarely play and joined farming groups for current hard trials to offer my mind something new and to improve.
I started doing speedruns of old content, improving my times while practicing various roles for potential job switches in the raid group.
I regularly set myself small challenges to make content more exciting, such as not using certain abilities.
I regularly seek out other players to chat with during that time and enjoy the social aspect of the game more.
I help new players in the Newcomer Chat and guide them as a tank or healer through content, showing them why the game is actually so cool.
All of these things help me return to my origins and remember that the game is still good with Dawntrail and why I actually love it, even if it might currently be going through a drought phase. And with the awareness of why FF14 is simply a cool game outside of the expansion, the joy of playing has returned.
Because yes, the story and fresh content keep the spirits high and provide new input at regular intervals, but even the content that is already there offers plenty of potential for a good time. However, one must also be the type who fits these expectations of a game.
For my part, these small changes have already helped me stay engaged without feeling like I have to force myself to play.
For many movie fans, Quentin Tarantino is considered one of the greatest directors of all time, but currently he is being criticized from all sides for saying some pretty harsh things about a good actor.
What did Tarantino say? Quentin Tarantino is not only a very famous director thanks to films like Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, or Kill Bill, but also a very popular one. At the same time, he is someone who often expresses his opinions openly and harshly as a guest in podcasts or interviews. In the past, he has spoken out strongly against The Hunger Games.
In The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, he has now sharply criticized Paul Dano, whom many of you probably know as the Riddler from The Batman. In the podcast, Tarantino mentions the film There Will Be Blood and that it would be ranked number 1 or 2 in his film ranking if Paul Dano weren’t involved. For him, he is a big, huge mistake.
But that’s not all, Tarantino becomes even harsher: He is a weak number […] He is just a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. He even calls him the weakest male actor in the SAG, which is the Screen Actors Guild, a union for actors. He names Austin Butler as a better actor for the role.
However, he seems to be quite alone in his opinion when looking at the reactions.

Reactions to Tarantino’s Attack
How did people react to Tarantino’s statement? There were reactions from Hollywood to Tarantino’s comments. On x.com, Matt Reeves, the director of The Batman, posted that Dano is an incredible actor and an incredible person.
The actress Toni Collette posted on Instagram (via x.com) a picture from the film Little Miss Sunshine and edited a crown above Paul Dano. Generally, the internet seems to be on Paul Dano’s side, who has not commented on it yet.
Users like whodheani counter Tarantino’s remarks on TikTok with attacks on the director. He is himself in the SAG and a significantly worse actor, who usually only casts himself in his own films.
A similar point of criticism comes from culture journalist Sian Cain from the Guardian. She says: [Tarantino] has forgotten that he is probably the weakest male actor in the Screen Actors Guild. I’m sorry, Quentin, but Paul Dano is one of the most underrated actors of his generation.
What does MeinMMO film author Nikolas Hernes say about the topic? Everyone has a different opinion about movies or actors, but Tarantino’s words seem less like valid criticism and more like a personal attack.
In my opinion, Paul Dano is a pretty good actor who has played many different roles throughout his career. Think of films like Dumb Money, The Batman, Okja, or Swiss Army Man. These are all different films in which he has portrayed various characters. Not every actor can do that.

Where Winds Meet is a game that already offers a lot of content. Soon, the free-to-play title will receive its first major update in the West and shows a small roadmap of what you can look forward to.
What kind of update is this? In a post on x.com, the developers share a roadmap for December 2025. This shows that players can not only look forward to the mobile version on another platform, but also that you will soon receive a large chunk of new content.
Because on December 11, 2025 (depending on the region December 12, exact start times are not yet known), the RPG hit will receive its first major content update. This will include:
A new region: The Roaring Sands (German name not yet known)
Two new bosses: Flussmeister and Feng Ruzhi
Two new time-limited activities
In addition, the developers share what will be added to the game shortly afterward.

What the December roadmap brings for Where Winds Meet
What content is still coming to the game? The shared roadmap also shows further updates that are to be released shortly after the major patch. So you can expect the following new features:
On December 14, the Velvet Shade will be made accessible, which you could already get to know in the story in Kaifeng.
On December 21, there will be a new sword trial and new content for the Hero’s Realm.
On December 30, there will be a fireworks festival for New Year’s Eve and the turn of the year.
Moreover, there should be smaller adjustments and types of content beyond that. However, these are not listed in the roadmap. The post only refers to December, so it remains unclear whether there will be a larger update in January as well.
The Chinese version is significantly ahead of the global variant, so the associated timeline can give a rough idea of what to expect in the near future and at what rough intervals updates will be released.
With the Velvet Shadows, another of the 11 sects currently in the game will be made accessible. Like many of the sects, it focuses mainly on role-playing and emphasizes relationships and romances. Whether the Velvet Shadows fit you or whether you should check out another sect, you can find out here: Where Winds Meet: Overview of sects – Which “class” suits you?

The Game Awards are taking place in a few days. A statue, whose coordinates were posted in connection with them, is causing quite a stir and all sorts of theories. Now, the Game Awards themselves give a hint about their significance.
What hint about the statue has been given now? After host Geoff Keighley recently posted a photo with a hint that concealed coordinates on x.com, sharp-eyed fans managed to find the corresponding statue in the desert and proposed numerous theories.
“The █████ are silent. █████ bleeds. New █████ stir.”
In English: “The █████ are silent. █████ bleeds. New █████ stir.”
What could this refer to? Naturally, fans now have further theories and considerations about what game this could be. X-users like AshenOneVI or CryZe107 are making connections that could be a clearer hint about which game it is.
Shortly after, the developers of Lords of the Fallen made a post that featured similar wording: “Something stirs within…” (In English: “Something is stirring inside”).
This raises suspicion that the statue hints at an announcement for Lords of the Fallen 2 during the Game Awards on December 11, 2025. However, there are also other theories and speculations that are not unlikely.
Lords of the Fallen II was also a significant topic at gamescom 2025:
Start video

A mysterious statue – many theories
What else could be behind this? Besides the theory about Lords of the Fallen II, fans also have other ideas and speculations about which game or franchise it might be. The following are frequently mentioned:
Elder Scrolls 6
Fallout
God of War
Dungeons & Dragons
Diablo
Doom
Path of Exile
Elden Ring 2
For all these games, the statue raises speculations that are not unfounded. Nevertheless, a Lords of the Fallen 2 seems likely due to the striking connections at this time. However, it could also be intentionally misleading.
We will probably not know the solution until it becomes concrete at the Game Awards on December 11, 2025.
For fans of Fallout, December brings some positive news. Not only is season 2 of the Amazon series starting – it has now been revealed that the original creator of the games, Tim Cain, is returning to Obsidian Entertainment. However, one should not get too excited about a possible New Vegas 2.
In a new YouTube video, Tim Cain announced that he has moved back to Southern California and is back at Obsidian Entertainment. He is now said to be working full-time and on-site for the developer studio, so he is no longer a contract worker.
Tim Cain is a legendary developer. He was the producer on the first Fallout game, which was released in 1997, and also worked as a programmer on the second part. He has previously worked for Obsidian on Pillars of Eternity and The Outer Worlds. He left Obsidian in 2020, but now he is back.
Many fans are likely hoping for a Fallout: New Vegas 2 after the announcement, but this hope should probably be kept low.
Start video

No information about his new project
What does Cain say about his new position at Obsidian? Cain only briefly speaks about his new position. He says he cannot yet talk about the new project because it is under embargo. One should also not try to guess what the new project is. According to him, one would not be able to guess it.
In the future, there should be another game coming out, not from Obsidian, that he has worked on. He also does not go into detail about which game it might be. Between 2020 and 2025, he worked on further projects, but he is unsure if they will actually be released.
A new chance for Fallout: New Vegas 2? Since Cain already speaks of not being able to guess what kind of Obsidian project it is, the chances for a sequel to Fallout: New Vegas seem low.
Obsidian Entertainment itself already commented in November 2025 about a possible New Vegas 2. The company’s vice president, Marcus Morgan, knows that fans are hoping for a sequel to the Fallout game, but also explained that they find joy in their own IPs, which have also been continued in 2025 (Source: PC Gamer).
SOL Shogunate is an upcoming action RPG on Steam and the debut work of Chaos Manufacturing. MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes was able to speak with the CEO and the Game Director of the studio. They also discussed the scientific background of the sci-fi game and the moon.
What is SOL Shogunate? At the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted on December 4, 2025, SOL Shogunate was presented for the first time. It is the upcoming debut work of Chaos Manufacturing, a new studio consisting of industry veterans who have worked on titles such as Horizon, Witcher 3, League of Legends, or Killzone.
Gameplay-wise, the action RPG is set to focus on fast combat, diverse combat options, and cinematic boss fights. Visually and story-wise, SOL Shogunate takes place in an alternative future, where humanity also lives in space and a shogun inspired by feudal Japan rules.
In the interview with CEO Guy Costantini and Game Director Leszek Sczepanski, I was able to discuss the science fiction in the game. Although it may not be immediately obvious, a lot of thought has gone into the science aspect of the game.
Start video

Sci-Fi, but with rules
What does GUY Costantini say about the scientific aspects? In the trailer and the information about the game, the moon is often mentioned, which is why I asked both of them why they selected it as such a special place for the game.
Initially, Guy explained that the moon is essential to even access space in the game. He added that they tried to align themselves with reality. They worked with people from NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (a lab that builds and operates space probes and satellites). They dealt with science in general:
We were inspired by some works of Japanese space agencies and Japanese universities that deal with how to live on the moon without suffering a massive loss of bone density.
In this context, Guy talks about the concept of Lunar Glasses: These are large, rotating cities in moon craters that are protected from micrometeoroids and simulate gravity through centrifugal force. This is intended to enable the ecosystems we see in the trailer.
He compares it with films like Elysium or Interstellar, but they have “relocated it to the moon and connected it by a railway, as is common in Asia.”
In general, Guy emphasizes that they want to be more grounded and focus on what researchers think about how to live in space. It should not be a future hundreds of years away like in Dune:
And suddenly there are these space guilds snorting spice to teleport. Again, nothing against the film, I love “Dune”, but at the same time, it’s so far in the future that there are no rules, and we wanted it to have rules.
The moon landscapes in SOL Shogunate are full of craters
The moon is also supposed to be an exciting place for the story of SOL Shogunate
What does Game Director Leszek Sczepanski say about the moon? In the interview, Game Director Leszek mentioned another point regarding the moon. Within the story, it will be about lies and mysteries, and as a player, you have to find the “truth behind the truth”.
The moon is “a great place for such a story because if you know a little about astronomy, the moon is something very strange, a very unusual celestial body, and we still do not fully understand why and how and what. So it already holds many secrets. But it is also the celestial body outside Earth that we know the most about.”
He describes it as “the perfect setting” because it is a familiar place that also hides secrets.
In World of Warcraft, the community enjoys housing. But not everything is perfect – as a limitation is clearly annoying.
For several days now, there has been housing in World of Warcraft for everyone who has already purchased Midnight. No matter how you look at it, the feature is well received by many. Everywhere in the world, you see characters running around looking for furniture merchants. Many guilds are currently only hanging out in their neighborhoods and have put raiding on hold for now.
But as much fun as housing is, there is a rather big detail that slightly dampens the excitement for many: The limitations for outdoor decoration.
Start video
In WoW könnt ihr Häuser anheben – Pimp Your House Edition
What is the problem with the outdoor area? While you can unlock more space and higher decoration limits for the interior of your house, that is not the case for the outdoor area. There, you can only use specific “outdoor decorations” and have a limitation of 200. However, this does not mean that you can actually place 200 items – many objects consume 3 or even 5 slots. If you only place large objects, you can reach the limit with just 40 items.
Just for comparison: In the interior, this limit can currently be increased to over 2,000.
Additionally, the outdoor area can hardly be illuminated. Almost all lamps and lightings for the outdoor area are disabled. This means that many areas in “darker” building zones are indeed living in darkness, causing their front yard to appear quite desolate.
Those who want to be creative will quickly reach the limit in the garden.
Why are there these restrictions? A while ago, there were no limitations in the Midnight beta. But this led to problems. Because placing many light sources or a very large number of objects caused World of Warcraft to lag or even crash on older PCs.
This is not surprising: When 55 houses place thousands of light sources, some even with many particle effects, it can push some PCs to their limits.
As a result, many of the outdoor features, like the lamps, were disabled for the Early Access of housing.
That this causes frustration is shown by many posts from the community, like this one from the WoW subreddit:

Will this change? Yes. Blizzard has already announced that lighting for gardens will return. Whether the decoration limit of 200 in the outdoor area will be increased is currently still questionable. This likely depends on whether the developers manage to resolve the issues on older computers, ensuring that decorations are only loaded when you are very close to the corresponding house of a character.
However, this change will probably not arrive until the release of Midnight in March 2025. Even though it is frustrating, one should not forget that this feature is currently an Early Access, which also serves to show Blizzard where there are still issues.
Have you already dealt with housing? How many hours have you spent on designing your own little house in WoW? Or can you not understand how people have fun doing this for hundreds of hours? The housing even allows some to finally move on from WildStar.

However, to redeem a code, you need a SHiFT account. You can also create that on the SHiFT page. When setting up your SHiFT account, you must provide your platform(s) and an email address.
What do you need to consider? SHiFT codes are usually only redeemable for a short time. After a certain period, they expire and are essentially no longer valid. So, whenever we present a new SHiFT code, you should redeem it as quickly as possible.
With a bit of luck, a SHiFT code will grant you a powerful, versatile weapon. If you pull a firearm with a specific element, you can read on MeinMMO against which enemies this element is strong or weak: Borderlands 4: Element Table – How to use elements correctly

Netflix wants to buy parts of Warner Brothers, including the gaming division. But what does this mean for old and especially future games?
What kind of deal is this? Warner Brothers wants to sell parts of its company. So far, three interested parties have emerged: Paramount, Comcast, and Netflix. According to reports, Netflix is now in the lead. Although the purchase is not yet final and confirmed, it seems that parts of Warner Brothers will go to Netflix in the future. This includes the gaming division. This was reported by the magazine Gamedeveloper.com.
The gaming division includes major brands like Harry Potter and DC, many licensed Lego games, and also games based on The Lord of the Rings. The question arises as to what will happen to these games if Netflix acquires parts of Warner. Especially when thinking of large games like Hogwarts Legacy 2, which has already been confirmed.

Hogwarts Legacy presents the officially best trailer of gamescom – Has over 600,000 views on YouTube
Other companies have already removed games from Steam: for their own interest or for licensing reasons
What is the situation? First of all, it is unclear what will happen to the licenses. In the case of a company takeover, licenses depend on the respective license agreement: they may automatically transfer to the new owner if it is a universal succession or require explicit consent from the licensor.
In this example, this specifically means: The Embracer Group has licensed some rights of The Lord of the Rings to Warner Brothers. It is unclear whether such rights will transfer to the new owner or need to be renegotiated.
It is also possible that Netflix, as the new owner, will remove games from Steam or other platforms. This could be for legal reasons or simply out of interest in binding players to its own platform in the future. Here are various examples:
In 2019, Psyonix was acquired by Epic Games, and afterwards Epic stopped selling Rocket League to continue the game on its own launcher.
Stranger Things 3 was removed from Steam because the publisher BonusXP took it off the market to offer it exclusively through Netflix.
Borderlands 3 was temporarily exclusive to the Epic Games Store for six months at its PC launch, and many Ubisoft games followed a similar path.
The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 disappeared from Steam in 2017 because the license from Activision had expired.
What will happen to future games like Hogwarts Legacy 2? The new owner might decide to offer the game exclusively through Netflix. Then important platforms like Steam would be left out.
MeinMMO has therefore requested a statement. As soon as we know more, we will report on it.
The gaming division of Warner Brothers has caused some of the most painful flops in recent years: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is considered a huge failure, for example. The new game for Wonder Woman had to be halted during development. This affects arguably their currently strongest gaming brand, the game for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy 2: After catastrophic gaming flops with superheroes, Warner Bros is likely reevaluating Hogwarts Legacy 2

For Where Winds Meet, there is a MIDI player that lets you play music in the game as if you were playing it yourself. However, such tools should be approached with caution. We explain what it’s all about.
What is the MIDI player tool? Anyone who frequently plays in multiplayer mode in Where Winds Meet has surely encountered players who are playing music somewhere and flawlessly performing well-known or original songs on their instruments.
Behind this is often an external program that you need to download separately and start in addition to the game. This program accesses the game files and allows your character to play pre-programmed melodies on the in-game instrument based on what are called “MIDs” without you having to press anything in the game.
Such tools, and similar ones, are not without risk in online games. Players can even be banned because of them, which is why we do not link the software for you. We explain why the MIDI tool is particularly problematic here.
Start video
Schnelle Gründe, warum ihr Where Winds Meet zocken solltet
External tools can lead to penalties or bans
Why is the MIDI player particularly problematic? Third-party programs are often tolerated by online games, especially when they are so-called addons that provide you with additional information on the map, ease navigation, or give you an overview of your damage output.
Such tools become problematic, however, when they access and modify game files too extensively, make otherwise restricted game content available, or, as in the case of the MIDI player, empower you to play in-game music that does not comply with the game’s licenses.
So if you play well-known melodies via the MIDI player, such as anime openings, film music, or popular pop songs, it can potentially lead to legal issues. Therefore, such tools are often prohibited and can result in penalties or even temporary or permanent bans for players who use them.
Even if you use self-composed songs and not such tracks, the mere use of the program can already lead to problems. For this reason, we advise you against using third-party tools if you are not 100% sure that the game developers allow this specific program.
On December 17, 2025, it will finally be time and Fallout will launch into Season 2. Fans can look forward to the return of beloved characters from the series. This includes the Ghoul. However, despite the popularity of the role, the lead actor has never played the games.
On December 17, 2025, Fallout will begin Season 2, with fans able to enjoy a new episode weekly. Alongside Lucy and Maximus, Cooper Howard, better known as the Ghoul, is also returning and is on a road trip with Lucy.
Walton Goggins as the Ghoul is one of the most popular characters in the series, yet the actor has never played the associated video games. There is a good reason for this, as he revealed in an interview with GameStar.
GameStar is part of the Webedia network, which also includes MeinMMO.

The official trailer for Fallout Season 2 takes us back to the apocalypse
This world feels so real to me
What does Goggins say about the games? In an interview with GameStar Plus (Paywall), Valentin Aschenbrenner spoke with Walton Goggins about various aspects related to the upcoming season. He also asked the actor if he has tried the games after Season 2.
He declines and explains that he still hasn’t gotten around to it because he was traveling for almost a year. When everything is over, he means the series itself, he wants to tackle the games, albeit hopefully in a few years. However, he also doesn’t believe that they would help him with his role:
But I am part of this world and this world is so real to me – so complete, so well-developed, so three-dimensional. Maybe the game version of this world would only make me think about it in a way I don’t want to when I’m in the Ghoul’s outfit.
What does that mean? Since Fallout is not an explicit adaptation of a specific game or characters, the Ghoul is also not a pre-existing character. It was created specifically for the series and will likely be significantly shaped by Goggins. If he were to watch the games, it might be that he suddenly perceives his character very differently.
Since the series only takes place in the world of Fallout, it can take more liberties and create its own characters that did not exist before. According to Goggins, one does not need to have the intention of making fans happy: I don’t believe that you tell any story to please anyone except yourself. And that’s the only true benchmark you can have, isn’t it?
In Where Winds Meet there are countless systems and features to discover. One player is showcasing a very special mount.
What can the mounts do in Where Winds Meet? While mounts in other games are simply used for fast travel, in Where Winds Meet they have additional functions. Each mount has some skills that can be useful to the rider.
However, a player’s horse is completely free and still has quite a lot to offer.
Here’s what our experts think about Where Winds Meet:
Start video
MyMMO in the GameStar Talk: Our MMORPG expert sums up the Chinese RPG Where Winds Meet
Strong horse with a disadvantage
What can the horse do? The horse of Reddit user Roctuplets is named “Li – Jet Black Racer” and is probably one of the best free mounts in the game. As seen in the user’s post, the horse has six skills.
The horse possesses the following abilities:
High speed: Provides a noticeable speed boost on straight paths
Lightness: Reduces impact forces when falling and improves jump control.
Water affinity: Slightly reduces fear when crossing bodies of water
So the horse is indeed very strong and, in addition to all these abilities, has a rating of 72 out of 100. While the horse is available for free in the game, you have to steal it just like the player, which can also trigger a bounty. Here, you can either eliminate all witnesses or freeze the rider first so they do not notice the theft.
What is the disadvantage? While the horse sounds good on paper, there is a significant disadvantage. The big disadvantage is that the horse, although it is the Ferrari among mounts in Where Winds Meet, is still slower than flying in the game.
Players criticize under the post why one should even bother to get a horse, even if it is as good as this one. The flying ability in the game is, after all, much faster for traveling from point A to point B. Other abilities also make the character faster than a horse.
Even the fastest Ferrari would be overtaken by an airplane, but that always comes with the disadvantage that you don’t arrive as precisely and can’t stop along the way for items, quests, or hideouts.
A user is happy about his latest trade. He swaps his hardware component for another one. However, the joy does not last long when he sees the current prices of the parts.
What kind of trade is it? The user Abdul Kareem As reported on his Facebook post from December 4, 2025, about his trading experience. He swapped RAM for an RTX 5070 Ti.
The RAM in question is a DDR5 Corsair Vengeance kit with 192 gigabytes and a clock speed of 5200 megahertz. The kit is divided into four RAM sticks, each with 48 gigabytes per stick. The graphics card is a PNY RTX 5070 Ti OC with 16 gigabytes of video memory.
The post reveals that the trade took place on Facebook Marketplace and both parties agreed before completing the swap.
Whether current RAM prices will also affect the upcoming Steam Machine remains to be seen. In the meantime, you can see what’s inside the little console PC in the following trailer:
Start video
Valve presents the Steam Machine in the new trailer
Soaring RAM Prices Were the Downfall of the User
Why was the deal bad?Due to the sharply rising prices of RAM, 192-gigabyte DDR5 RAM is currently worth much more than an RTX 5070 Ti. As a result, the user made a loss without realizing it at first.
According to the comments on the Facebook posts, an RTX 5070 Ti is worth about 750 US dollars and at the current prices, you can’t even get a RAM kit with 128 GB for that. The RAM is worth much more than 750 US dollars. (via Facebook)
At the US retailer Newegg, a comparable RAM kit costs 1,999 US dollars (via Newegg). An “RTX 5070 Ti OC” variant is sold for 750 US dollars (via Newegg). In this particular example, the user would lose around 1,200 US dollars, although this can fluctuate significantly depending on the offers.
Comparison Sites Can Provide Orientation Values
How can I find out the value of my parts? There are several ways to find out the price of your hardware:
Use comparison sites like Geizhals in Germany or GeizR for a Europe-wide search. The site compares hundreds of different dealers and used markets and lists them for you. The price history feature is also useful, where you can see how the price of a specific product has developed. However, be cautious of additional costs for shipping when making EU purchases.
Compare prices yourself on the Internet. If you want to buy or sell hardware, it is often worthwhile to check sales sites like eBay or comparison sites for the current market price beforehand. This gives you a feel for the current value and allows you to better assess the buying/selling price.
A trainer proudly presents his latest catch in Pokémon GO, which not every other player would naturally be excited about. However, his enthusiasm for his unusual favorite monster reminds the community of a character that every Pokémon fan knows.
Which Pokémon is the player so proud of? On Reddit, the trainer and user poisontadpole posts a picture of a shiny that he recently caught in Pokémon GO. This is not uncommon in the game’s subreddit, as many players showcase their particularly rare or strong candidates there, often legendary Pokémon with perfect stats, preferably as shiny.
This is precisely why the player’s joy is so unusual and refreshing. He is excited about a shiny Rattata that he was finally able to find and catch after over 800 attempts: “This is the best day of my life.”
Rattata is neither rare nor strong, which might even annoy other players that he got a shiny of this rat instead of a stronger monster. However, the community not only shares in this personal success, but the excitement reminds them of an archetype in Pokémon that every fan has encountered.

Pokémon GO shows its new season in the trailer
Trainer reminds of a character seen in every Pokémon game
Which character does the player resemble? User epikninja123 immediately notes which character the Rattata fan reminds him of: “The post was written by Youngster Joey [Teenager Julian].”
Youngster Joey, known in German as Teenager Julian, is a trainer from the 2nd and 4th generations of Pokémon games who only battles with a Rattata because he loves the Pokémon so much… and because he is the first trainer you encounter in these games, and thus cannot be too strong.
The archetype of the weak youngster at the beginning of the trainer’s career is also present in the manga (Source: bulbapedia.net)
With sentences like “My Rattata is uncontainable, as always. It is my everything!” and “I doubt you have such a cool Pokémon in your team,” his obsession with this actually weaker Pokémon becomes clear.
However, Julian is just one archetype for other kids or teenagers in the Pokémon games that you encounter at the very beginning as overly motivated opponents. They challenge you with just a single specimen of the weakest starter Pokémon and are still so convinced of their partner that it’s actually commendable.
And the community of Pokémon GO recognizes this too: “I love it when people simply love a Pokémon” (PastaRyan88 on Reddit).
The player has already received a few shiny variants of Rattata from his mother, who also plays Pokémon GO. But now he is even more excited to have finally caught one himself. That mothers have become trainers through their children is not an uncommon case, as the experience of a self-proclaimed “Pokémom” shows: A mother takes her role in Pokémon GO very seriously, encountering other “Pokémoms” in the community

In the side quest “Shadows in Bloom” in Where Winds Meet you will meet the musician Bai Rong. She presents you with a music puzzle and brings you to the Heroes’ assembly. We explain how to solve the puzzle and where to find the musician afterwards for the Peach Blossom quest.
Here’s how to solve the drum puzzle: When you first encounter Bai Rong, you must prove to her that you are a true musician. She plays a melody for you that you should replicate by ear.
To do this, you need to select the instruments in the following order:
You need to hit the drums in this order.
Once you have completed this, she will help you visit the Heroes’ assembly. There you need to collect 7 clues to continue the quest.
Later, you should find her again as part of the Peach Blossom quest. However, the game does not tell you where and at what times you can track her down. Therefore, we have prepared some locations and circumstances where you can encounter her.
How to find Bai Rong for the Peach Blossom quest
Once you have completed the side quest “Shadows in Bloom”, you will not find Bai Rong as easily again. Since the Peach Blossom quest is more of an encounter, there are few hints in the game about how to continue her story.
After you have completed the story in the Hall of Velvet Shadows, she will no longer be at the obvious places where she appeared before. To find her again, you should first check her room.
Return to the Hall of Velvet Shadows (if you are not there anymore) and go to the third floor. It is located in the same area you visited during the quest “Shadows in Bloom” and where you drank together. If she is there, interact with her, and you should also be able to find her in other places and play the Peach Blossom encounter.

If you encounter her again after completing the quest in the Hall of Velvet Shadows, she retreats to the Radiant Pavilion, where you can complete the Peach Blossom quest.
However, there is no fixed waypoint for this; you must listen for the music. If you can’t hear any music, return to Bai Rong’s room and speak to her.
You will find the pavilion west of the Hall of Velvet Shadows at this location:
Here you can find the Radiant Pavilion.This is how you recognize the Radiant Pavilion.
If you are nearby, you should hear an instrument that you can follow. The closer you get, the louder it should become. If it gets quieter, you are moving away from Bai Rong. If you enter the right room, you should be able to see her quickly.
Return her hairpin that you took during the quest “Shadows in Bloom”. This will complete the encounter.

With the Burst II Pro, Turtle Beach has released a lightweight gaming mouse. The strengths include, especially in the test, the long battery life and the low weight.
Which device is it about? With the Burst II Pro, Turtle Beach has presented the successor to the old Burst Pro from Roccat (for the test). The mouse is primarily aimed at shooter players who prefer a lightweight and fast mouse.
I used the mouse in everyday life for several weeks and explain how the device performed in the test.
Benedikt has been testing hardware for our readers at MeinMMO since 2019. Besides the PC and the PS5, he also plays on the Steam Deck.
The review sample was provided to us by the manufacturer.

Scope of Delivery, Design and Construction
Positive: Scope of delivery (griptape) and ergonomics | Neutral: – | Negative: DPI button and bottom of the mouse
What does the scope of delivery look like? In addition to the gaming mouse, there is a charging cable (USB-A to USB-C), a wireless transmitter, and additional griptape in the package. If the mouse feels too slippery, you can stick the mouse with the griptape.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
How is the mouse constructed? The mouse is available in various colors; in the test, I use the black model. An alternative would be white:
On the top side of the mouse are the main buttons and the scroll wheel in between. On the top side, in front of the scroll wheel, is an indicator light that shows whether the mouse is currently charging (yellow) or if the mouse is nearly empty (red).
On the bottom side, there is a switch to toggle between wireless and Bluetooth or to turn off the mouse. Additionally, you can store the transmitter on the bottom side.
On the left side of the mouse, there are two side thumb buttons. At the front of the mouse is a DPI button. More about the button later.
Processing
Positive: Detachable cable, mouse body, optical switches | Neutral: – | Negative: Open bottom of the mouse
The Burst II Pro relies on a stable plastic body and a detachable cable. Inside, durable optical switches are installed, which are supposed to last longer than the usual mechanical switches that are otherwise used in many mice.
One thing I didn’t like about the Burst II Air: The underside is open. To reduce weight, this is practical but less hygienic. The underside collects dirt and especially pet hair. And over time, the dirt then wanders inside the mouse, where the sensor and other components are located.
I can’t yet say how this will affect the mouse and its technology in the long term after several weeks.
Software
Positive: unobtrusive, resource-light | Neutral: slightly confusing at the beginning | Negative: –
Turtle Beach relies on “Swarm II” for the Burst II Pro. With this software, you can update the drivers of the mouse and make adjustments to the mouse.
First of all, a compliment: “Swarm II” does without any community integration and intrusive advertising within the software, making it much better than ASUS, SteelSeries, or Razer, which fill their software with it. During Black Friday, there was only a subtle hint that the hardware was on offer.
Swarm II from Turtle Beach: Not cluttered, but otherwise good software.
Otherwise, the software is clear and unobtrusive. The settings menu looks overloaded at first glance, but it also has all the important options in one window. With about 100 MB in RAM, Swarm II is also not particularly hardware-hungry. Another plus point.
Weight, Ergonomics and Battery Life
Positive: Low weight (57 grams), battery life | Neutral: Ergonomics varies by hand size | Negative: –
The weight: The Burst II Pro weighs about 57 grams and is thus one of the lightweight gaming mice on the market. Its own competitor, the Burst II Air (for the test), weighs slightly less than the Pro version:
Turtle Beach Burst II Air: 47 grams
Glorious Model O Eternal: 55 grams
Razer Viper V2 Pro: 58 grams
Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2: 62 grams
Thus, the Burst II Pro ranks in the upper third in terms of weight but offers significantly better battery life compared to the competition: The Razer Viper V2 Pro lasts for about 80 hours, while the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 lasts 90 hours. For about 10 grams more, you get a significantly better battery life.
The ergonomics: I have very large hands with a hand size of 19 centimeters. In everyday life, however, the mouse lies comfortably in hand overall and tends to have the same ergonomic limitations as the Burst II Air: Especially in the first few days, I find the mouse uncomfortable; afterwards, I get used to the position and the rather wide behind of the mouse.
In general, the mouse fits better in smaller hands, but then the side buttons may not be optimally reachable. The same applies to the Burst II Pro as with other mice: It’s best to test the mouse once in a specialized store to see if it fits well in your hand; that way, you can’t go wrong.
The package also includes griptape, which you can use to stick the mouse. However, this is not necessary. In everyday life, the mouse provided me with enough grip, even though I quickly get sweaty hands while playing.
Battery life: The manufacturer specifies the battery life as up to 150 hours. I easily manage a week to 10 days with the mouse in everyday life, which can certainly be 15 hours on long days. In the end, however, the battery suddenly runs out. However, it must be said: The battery only lasts this long if you reduce the polling rate from 8K to 1K.
Nevertheless, currently, I can only think of a handful of gaming mice that offer a similar or longer battery life at such a low weight:
The mouse buttons: Under the buttons are optical titan switches. They feel solid and precise and are comparable to the keystroke of a keyboard. The thumb buttons on the side also have a distinct pressure point.
The scroll wheel: The scroll wheel has often been a weak point for mice from Roccat and Turtle Beach. However, the scroll wheel on the Burst II Pro can convince and is the same model as in the Air variant: The rotation is firm and thus can be used precisely. You won’t get a free-spinning scroll wheel.
Sensor: Inside the mouse is the Owleye sensor from Turtle Beach with a resolution of up to 30,000 DPI and 750 IPS (maximum tracking speed of the mouse’s sensor) and an acceleration of 70 G. The sensor is a derivative of PixArt.
In terms of level, the sensor lies between Logitech’s Hero sensor and Razer’s Focus+ sensor. Razer’s sensor is still quite a bit more accurate, especially over the wireless connection.
In Practice: Very Good Playable with Low DPI Settings
In everyday life, I regularly play fast-paced action shooters with the mouse, including Marvel: Rivals. Here I often use the very low DPI settings. I rarely set it higher than 300 to 400 DPI. However, with the low settings, I have to move the mouse a lot when I want to turn around in the game.
With a weight of 57 grams, the mouse can be moved quickly without resistance, and fast movements are easily possible. However, it is even better with the significantly lighter Turtle Beach Burst II Air (48 grams). 20 grams can make a significant difference.
A horror, however, is the DPI button, located at the very front of the mouse. In a game where speed is essential, I simply can’t reach it. My workaround is to assign the DPI settings to the thumb buttons. This way, I can quickly switch the DPI in everyday life when I need to.
Conclusion: Strong Battery and Low Weight
For whom is the mouse suitable? With the Turtle Beach Burst II Pro, you get a lightweight and fast gaming mouse that is especially suitable for shooter players. Especially if you move the mouse a lot on the table and play with low DPI settings.
However, with the Burst II Air, you get a similarly good mouse for 20 euros less from the same manufacturer, but you have to sacrifice battery life and the slightly better sensor. If battery life and sensor are not important to you, you can easily opt for the older model.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
What alternatives are there?
The Turtle Beach Burst II Air weighs less but offers less battery life. If you want to save 20 euros, then the Burst II Air is an alternative.
The Razer Viper V3 Pro offers the best sensor on the market but has shorter battery life and a higher price. It is definitely an alternative.
The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 is also a decent option. However, I have had some processing issues with this mouse.

Guild Wars Reforged verströmt im Launch Trailer liebgewonnene Nostalgie
“I feel like the 16-year-old boy I was back then”
How does the community like the remake? Due to its age and the comparatively few innovations for the Reforged version, the remake of Guild Wars targets a rather niche audience. This is also reflected in the player numbers on Steam: According to steamdb.info, around 5,000 players are online simultaneously during the evening prime time.
Many of those who have checked it out are enthusiastic. On Steam, Guild Wars Reforged currently has a 92% positive rating after 1,559 reviews.
Cryze writes on Steam: “I’ve loved Guild Wars since 2005 – and Reforged brought that feeling back immediately. […] Clear recommendation for old fans and newcomers.”
Xena expresses on Steam her surprise, she expected an expansion for Guild Wars 2 but is still having fun: “So far, I’ve only had the best impressions of the game and I’m looking forward to the upcoming quests. I’m very positively surprised!”
Uhli90 also celebrates on Steam the comeback: “I dived back into this game after 15 years and I have to say: awesome. I feel like the 16-year-old boy I was back then.”
However, there is some criticism because players are having issues with the installation or creating a Guild Wars account. Additionally, there are some buyers who do not want to recommend Guild Wars Reforged due to its old-school technology and gameplay experience.
What makes the first Guild Wars special? There are several reasons why Guild Wars was voted by MeinMMO readers as the 6th best MMORPG of all time last year. For example, the varied game world design, which consists of the three continents Tyria, Cantha, and Elona.
The travels through the various areas are accompanied by catchy music pieces from the award-winning composer Jeremy Soule, which are among the best in the genre. Additionally, there is a character system where you can combine classes and thus make a death knight from a warrior and a necromancer.
However, some veterans from back in the day rave about the namesake Guild Wars and the community spirit, the exciting PvP battles, the hard-earned achievements on the guild world ranking list, as well as the shared moments in the guild hall. Will the next installment of the series be able to bring back these old strengths? ArenaNet is looking for reinforcements for “unannounced project” – What about Guild Wars 3?
