While there are thousands of games on Steam, there are always hidden gems among them. A couple has created their own title and receives strong praise from players.
What kind of game is this? Banquet for Fools is an action-adventure RPG from the two-person developer team Hannah and Joseph Game that is currently in Early Access.
The game mixes an open world with a combat system that is more familiar from beat ’em ups and brawlers. Although the title is quite unknown, it is likely a hidden diamond, especially when looking at the Steam ratings.
Here you can see what to expect in Update 5:

Hidden Diamond
How is the title rated? Banquet for Fools currently has 94% positive ratings on Steam despite being in Early Access. The title is liked by almost every one of the approximately 200 users who have submitted a rating on Steam.
The game is interesting not only because of its mix of genres but also due to its setting and story. Players are sent with their group to a cursed island that a lord wants to inhabit so he can grow a profitable spice there. The players’ task is to explore and eliminate the island and its dangers.
Their group consists of four companions who may freely explore the world. Whenever the action bar is filled, the game can be paused to switch to “Combat Dome” mode. Tactical actions can then be carried out or a target can be selected.
What comes with the release? Banquet for Fools will be in Early Access on Steam until January 23, 2026, before being released as a full version. The title currently costs €19.50.
The game has recently been expanded through major Update 5, which has brought 10 new maps, a town, and new content, as well as more music into the game.
Additionally, players have gained the ability to purchase a house and manage a pet enclosure for their domestic and farm animals.
Regarding combat, the new update has added many new weapons that players can use. New armors and ornament items have also been introduced.
Is the game linear? No, the players’ actions and deeds in Banquet for Fools influence the mission outcome, the harvest of spices, and the satisfaction of the lord, who ultimately has to decide on the success of the mission.
Thus, the title can be played through multiple times with different play styles, which will also affect the end of the game.
With such a good rating and a fair price, the couple once again shows that good games do not have to be expensive. Perhaps this is also a statement to GTA 6, where fans have long debated whether a price of €100 is justified: Players fear GTA 6 might cost €100, experts say: that’s unlikely

Content creator and Twitch streamer Viktor “iBlali” or “VIK” Roth has been active as a content creator in the German scene since 2006. In the podcast Henke’s Corner, he talked about that time period and how his channel almost got deleted.
Who is it about? Viktor Roth was one of the first to upload Let’s Plays on the platform with his YouTube channel “Aligator1024” in 2006. During this time, he also operated a second channel named “iBlali,” where he had the very popular format AliTells.
Here he answered questions and comments from his community. In other formats, he presented myths or glitches from various video games.
Nowadays, Viktor Roth does not operate all of these YouTube channels anymore but has renamed his channel “BlaVlog” to “VIK” and treats it as his main channel. VIK streams gaming or reactions on Twitch from time to time.
In his current videos, VIK deals with societal and internet topics. Gaming videos still find their place on his channel.
VIK has been part of the German creator scene for almost 20 years and is still relevant. On his YouTube channel “VIK,” he entertains over 1 million subscribers, and almost 500,000 people follow him on Twitch (sources: YouTube and Twitch).

These are the 5 most relevant German streamers on Twitch in 2024, according to Google
YouTuber VIK feared for his channel at night
Why was Vik almost banned? At the time, VIK was still part of the YouTube network Mediakraft with other creators. The agency supported the YouTuber in his work as a content creator and also helped him in a particular situation.
What was Mediakraft? Mediakraft was one of the first YouTube networks that signed many different YouTube channels and their operators. It was founded by media producer and journalist Christoph Krachten.
Mediakraft supported creators in the production and marketing of their videos. The goal was to help YouTube channels grow and to provide them with advice and assistance.
In the 2010s, many German YouTubers were at Mediakraft. In addition to VIK, Y-Titty and ApeCrime were also part of the agency.
Mediakraft was dissolved in 2021. The departure of several prominent creators and criticism of support and contract conditions likely contributed to the network’s crisis.
VIK recounts that he received 12 strikes in one day. To explain: After 3 strikes on a YouTube channel, it is permanently deleted, which would have meant the deletion of VIK’s livelihood at that time.
The reason for the strikes was his intro. A viewer had created an intro for him that contained unlicensed music. VIK used that intro in 12 videos, which were all struck by YouTube at once.
Then VIK tried to reach Christoph Krachten as quickly as possible in the middle of the night:
Then I tried to reach Christoph Krachten at three in the morning, because at that time I was still with Mediakraft. I couldn’t reach him, didn’t sleep. He called me back at eight in the morning and said: “We’ll sort this out.” Luckily, he did. That was the great thing about being in a YouTube network back then. Otherwise, the channel would have just been gone.
What else does VIK say? VIK had his “main time” as a YouTuber in the 2010s. At that time, VIK says, the German YouTube still consisted of “nerds.” There was more room for creativity.
Nowadays, says the YouTuber, everything is much more professional, which naturally allows for more opportunities, but VIK also feels that authenticity has been lost. Some influencers only care about the money, he says.
It has become much quieter around him, says VIK, which he also enjoys. The content creator already has possible future plans. If he is no longer in demand, he would like to work as an editor for an influencer.
MeinMMO editor Dariusz has learned that he has been making a mistake in ARC Raiders for weeks. And you can either enjoy it or learn from it.
In ARC Raiders, you don’t have to risk your own, hard-earned gear in every raid. You can always start a round with a free loadout and complete quests or farm materials without the risk of losing your best weapons, augments, or shields.
When you play with a free loadout, you get a random weapon, a shield, a few items like bandages or shield regenerators, and a free augment. This augment has limited inventory space, a low carry weight, and no safety bag.

The mistake with the free augment
After a successful raid with a free loadout, you can of course use the random equipment you received in the next raid. However, you usually exchange the free augment for a green augment to have more inventory space and a safety bag. You essentially have an improved free loadout.
I, Dariusz, am an idiot.
Whenever I successfully extracted after a raid with a free augment, I sold it for a few coins. My thoughts were clear: I don’t need it because I’ll get a new one in the next free loadout raid anyway, it takes up storage space, and any other augment is much better.
Yep, selling is not so smart.
Through a post on Reddit, I learned a month after the release that I can simply trade the augment from the free loadout in Speranza at the vendor “Lance” in the clinic for a green augment.
How did I miss that?!?
At Lance, you even have the choice of which green augment you want: Loot, Combat, Tactical… It doesn’t matter, the price remains the same.
What if I can’t use a green augment at all? If you can’t do anything with the green augments, for example because your storage has been stuffed with pink augments for weeks, then you can still sell the green augments.
The new, undamaged augment from Lance gives you 640 coins. For the free augment, you get around 100 coins. Even if you can’t do anything with the green augment, it’s still more sensible to trade the augment at Lance and then sell it.
Yes, even players like me who have spent many hours in ARC Raiders can still learn things – even if it’s because they overlooked an obvious mechanic. So maybe take another look at our beginner tips; maybe you’ve missed something too: ARC Raiders: 8 beginner tips you should know for the release

In Where Winds Meet there are some challenging boss fights, but in a completely different game mode, players struggle even more: the mini-games.
What are these mini-games? In Where Winds Meet, there are various mini-games that can be experienced solo or together with friends in co-op mode. In duels against the NPCs in the world, there are repeatedly situations where players have little chance.
Especially two of the mini-games are currently driving players crazy, yet there is a simple trick to winning each of them.
Still need help convincing your friends to play Where Winds Meet? Here are some ideas:
Start video
Schnelle Gründe, warum ihr Where Winds Meet zocken solltet
Musical performance is easier than it seems
What kind of mini-game is this? The first mini-game that continuously presents players with significant challenges is musical performance. Similar to the legendary Guitar Hero, players must press the correct keys on the keyboard in time.
However, since there are 6 different keys and sometimes simultaneous notes, few players manage to bring the necessary dexterity. Thus, Reddit user RaniNamari wonders if he is just too old for the game.
The community responds cheekily: Yes, but then explains to the player a trick on Reddit. Unlike Guitar Hero, there is no penalty for pressing a button that is not currently required. This means you can keep pressing all the buttons the entire time and easily perfect the game.
Only when there are notes that must be held, one must be careful and hold the button as intended. Otherwise, everything can simply be spammed.
Pitch-Pot Trouble
Why are players frustrated with this mini-game? Right at the beginning at the Generals Shrine, there is the opportunity to play against an NPC Pitch-Pot. The character must throw arrows into a vase while intoxicated.
As a player, this means keeping the mouse and sometimes a second keyboard cursor in a moving circle, to then click the mouse button at the right moment. However, unlike the intro at Generals Shrine, the mini-game later in the game is quite tricky.
Not only do the circles move much faster, but they are also smaller. Thus, Reddit user ZHelish states that the mini-game is harder than the Abyss bosses in the game. Yet, here too, the community has a tip.
Thus, user Contribution_Real explains on Reddit that the mini-game is significantly influenced by the Determination attribute. Leveling this attribute makes the mini-game easier and allows for easier wins.
The mini-games in Where Winds Meet are one of many sandbox activities that can occupy a lot of time. For those who prefer to be a bit more productive, side quests might be a better option. However, one of them is currently causing issues: Where Winds Meet: Woven in Malice – Start Quest and Fix Issues

In ARC Raiders there are many quests and one of them sends you to pick up a memento. We will show you where to find the memento and why a bug can prevent you from completing the quest.
What kind of quest is this? The quest is called Majors Footlocker. You will receive it at some point as you progress with the arms dealer “Tian Wen”. Your task is to retrieve a memento from a chest and successfully escape with this item.
The quest is simple as long as you know the location, but some players encounter problems. A bug can prevent you from completing the quest.

Majors Footlocker: Location and problems caused by bugs
Where can I find the chest? The chest is located in the Ruby Residence on the Dam Battlefield map. You can find it in the northwest of the map, specifically in an apartment in one of the buildings. There are three facilities in total, but you need to visit the one on the southwest side.
Go up the staircase to the second floor and enter the apartment on that floor.
In the apartment, you then pass by the bed into the next room.
Now take the entrance on the left side to the next room.
In this room, you will find a metal chest on a round table that you need to interact with. Pick up the item “Memento von Major Aiva”.
You need to go to this buildingThis is what the Major’s chest looks like
After you have done that, the first step of your mission is complete. Now you just need to successfully extract. If you have also managed that, you must speak with Tian Wen and collect your reward. She will give you the blueprint for the “Shellbreaker” ammunition for the eponymous rifle against the ARC.
This is how the quest goes optimally, but there are some players who report a bug that makes completing the quest impossible.
How does the bug occur? This usually happens when you are eliminated with the memento from your inventory. After that, you have no chance to interact with the chest again. That sounds disappointing at first, but there are two ways you can work around the bug.
Can I avoid the bug? Partially and with a bit of luck, you can avoid the bug. There are two possibilities:
You visit the chest with a friend who has just started the quest. Let him open the chest and you can interact with it as well.
You jump around in front of the chest and try to spam the interaction button. With a bit of luck, the chest will open for you and you can continue with the quest.
Currently, it does not seem that the bug has been fixed yet. We will of course keep you updated and update our post if Embark addresses the issue. In the meantime, feel free to check out the latest patch notes, as they introduce a new feature in the game that punishes naughty players: ARC Raiders: Patch Notes for Update 1.4.0 – Fry your character if you are naughty

MeinMMO presents a strong build for PvP in Where Winds Meet and reveals which weapons and martial arts skills you should use.
We have already presented a beginner build for Where Winds Meet, with which you can perform well in all challenges of the open-world RPG. However, those who want to compete in PvP against other players are often not satisfied with a “good build for every situation”. It needs to be a build that is specifically tailored for those situations.
In PvP, factors such as crowd control, burst damage, mobility, and defense are significantly more important than in battles against most NPC enemies. Therefore, we now recommend a build (a combination of weapons, skills, and equipment) that is specifically designed for PvP and can help newcomers achieve quick success.
Start video

The Best Weapons for PvP
Currently, there are 4 strong weapon combinations that are very hard to beat in the PvP of Where Winds Meet:
Nameless Sword + Nameless Spear: Offers burst, control, mobility, and flexibility – the current meta king
Demonic Twin Blades + Death Rope Arrow: Provides the most attacks per minute, mobility and control, but is harder to master than Option 1
Strategic Sword + Demonic Twin Blades: Can catch opponents in a very long combo
Inkpot Fan + Spring Shield: The best ranged option, strong in 3vs3 and in the open world
Since this guide is also aimed at players who want to test PvP in Where Winds Meet for the first time, we focus here on the combination of Nameless Sword and Nameless Spear. You have this variant from the start; it is relatively easy to play and still performs well in battles against other players.
Here are the strengths of this weapon combination:
Strong burst potential
High mobility and control
Spear provides more range when needed
Suitable for beginners
Strong choice for 1vs1 duels and team fights
And the weaknesses:
Weak damage if opponents manage to kite you with high mobility.
Your windows with high burst damage are quite predictable for veterans.
Anyone who mindlessly spams their skills will quickly run out of stamina.
Inner Arts and Mystic Arts
Your playstyle or the abilities of your weapons can be refined with the passive upgrades of the inner arts, of which you can unlock many over the course of your adventure and activate up to four.
We recommend the following 4 Inner Arts for the PvP fight with the Nameless Sword and Nameless Spear:
Sword Transformation for additional sword attacks with the Nameless Sword
Wild Sparks regains a portion of stamina every time you consume stamina
Power of the Mountain increases the stamina cost reduction of your spear skill Qiankuns Fessel to 20 percent for 5 seconds
Chant of Morality increases damage dealt and HP regeneration after attacks or heals
What about the mythical arts? These are active martial arts skills, of which you can carry up to 8.
However, since only a maximum of 4 can be placed on the easiest to reach shortcut selection, we recommend placing skills there that can noticeably ease fights for you. Especially since you often have only a brief moment in which to activate the respective skill.
Assign Ghostly Steps to an easily accessible shortcut – in PvP the skill is worth its weight in gold.
The following 4 mythical arts have proven themselves in PvP battles according to our experience
Ghostly Steps reduces the stamina cost of your ground evasion abilities by 40 percent and extends the duration of invincibility – a must! Here you can learn how to earn Ghostly Steps
Yaksha Storm allows you to close distance to the opponent (mobility), break through their defense, and launch them into the air (control). Breaking through the defense causes huge damage (burst)
Dragon Breath deals damage, applies ignition to your opponents, and grants you a 15 percent damage reduction and tenacity
Floating Whirl allows you to rush through the opponent, followed by a devastating attack that reduces all healing done by your enemy
Claw Attack can be an alternative to Yaksha Storm if you do not need the charge and instead want to perform a 3-hit combo. Since the skills that break defenses share a cooldown, unfortunately, it does not make sense to include both arts.
The Best Attributes, The Best Equipment
Focus on attributes that increase your damage (Physical Attack, Critical Hit Chance, Critical Damage Bonus, Physical Penetration) or improve your stamina regeneration. Control resistance and increased movement speed are also helpful.
The Falcon Wing set for weapons, disc, and pendant provides you with an increased affinity rate (not so important) and a stackable buff for your physical attack (important). For armor, there are several comparable options:
Can you perfectly evade attacks? Take the Still Water set, which rewards you with healing and stamina upon perfect evasion.
Do you prefer to block attacks? Choose the Quick Steps set, which increases your maximum health and reduces damage after successful block maneuvers.
If both options feel too risky, try the Moon Flicker set, which grants you a protective shield when attacked while defending.
You can specifically buy weapon and armor sets through the equipment chests of the current season.
Playstyle / Combo
Start with the spear to look for an opportunity to immobilize your opponent with Qiankuns Fessel. Then switch to your sword and unleash high burst damage. Use the charged attack Vagabond’s Sword from the Nameless Sword to trigger additional sword energy attacks via Sword Transformation.
Follow up with Dragon Breath if needed. Use Floating Whirl and Yaksha Storm to keep up pressure on retreating and defending opponents. Switch back to the spear to prepare for the next burst phase.

Anime has not been a niche for years and is also featured in cinemas. Even among major actors, there are fans of well-known series like Dragon Ball or Naruto.
Which actor is it? It is Michael B. Jordan, who is probably best known from Black Panther and the Creed series. The actor is a big anime fan. He regularly expresses his passion in interviews, including in a YouTube video with Paul Mescal and Austin Butler.
But his love for anime also comes to light in his films. In his directorial debut with the film Creed 3, he hid a reference to the probably most iconic battle in Dragon Ball Z.
You can watch the trailer for Creed 3 here:
Select a MMO video…
A punch every Dragon Ball fan knows
Which scene is it? Michael B. Jordan is mainly seen as an actor, recently for example in Blood & Sinners, but for Creed 3 – Rocky’s Legacy (2023) he took a seat in the director’s chair. He made sure to hide anime references in the boxing drama.
Adonis has to fight against his former friend Damian in the film’s finale. In the brutal duel, both boxers meet quite evenly with hard punches. Not only are visual metaphors like a prison used, but also slow-motion during certain attacks.
In one scene, Adonis receives a pretty heavy punch to the stomach. In slow motion, you can see his face and the beads of sweat flying off his back. It looks quite similar to a scene from the fight Goku against Freezer. You can compare the mentioned scene on YouTube (Warning: There is a fast, flickering scene change).
In this fight, there is also a scene where both fighters hit each other in the face simultaneously. It reminds of a scene from the fight Goku against Majin Vegeta, but also occurs in series like Naruto Shippūden or Ashita no Joe.
Has Michael B. Jordan confirmed this? In an interview with IGN (via Instagram), he said that he has several anime influences in the film. He wanted to bring his own spin into the Rocky history. He mentions series like:
Hajime no Ippo
Megalo Box
Naruto
My Hero Academia
He also explicitly mentions Damian’s punch in the finale, which is inspired by Dragon Ball.
Why did he draw so heavily from anime for the film? In the interview with IGN, Jordan explained that he finds the relationships between different characters in anime particularly interesting and that they resemble the relationship told between Adonis and Damian in Creed 3. You can find more films that remind you of anime here: 5 films that remind you of anime and that you wouldn’t think of immediately

Role-playing hit Where Winds Meet has been released in China longer than it has in the West. A timeline of patches shows what still awaits you.
What kind of timeline is this? Where Winds Meet has been playable in China since December 27, 2024. Since then, there have been numerous patches that have brought new features to the already extensive game.
Boarhat.gg has created a timeline with all patches from version 1.2 to the current version 2.2 in China, detailing what was included in them. It also gives a hint about the order in which we will receive new content in our global version.
What are the highlights of the previous patches? Among the new features are mainly lots of new outfits, skins, and mounts, but also new areas and features. You can look forward to the following highlights:
Huge world expansions
Deeper faction features
Social events & mini-games
More freedom in character customization – more outfits, hairstyles, and the ability to change body type
New access to sects
Ongoing story, which concluded its first major narrative arc in patch 2.1
As content has already been released in China, the developers are significantly more flexible with the release in the global version, making it possible that some updates may be combined or include additional content that also appears in China simultaneously with a newer update.
Nevertheless, the timeline of the Chinese updates provides a good orientation for what still awaits you. What was included in the previous updates can be found in the following overview.

Will the updates come to us as well? Unfortunately, this cannot be answered definitively, as there is no comprehensive official roadmap for the global version. However, the timeline does at least provide a rough idea of what we can still expect in the future and in what approximate order. However, what we will receive in our version when is harder to predict based on that.
Not all factions in Warhammer 40,000 are the same – this applies not only to the world itself, but also to the game. Space Marines receive more new models than any other armies, which has been causing some trouble for a while. Now Games Workshop itself mocks the situation, but the fans are not even mad.
What is this “protest” about?
In a new video on YouTube, Games Workshop shows a crowd of people in front of the Warhammer headquarters in Nottingham, England.
The fans there are loudly demanding new releases for the Ultramarines, the probably most famous chapter of Space Marines in Warhammer 40,000. They say things like: “We haven’t gotten a new model for Calgar in 2 months!” (Calgar is the chapter master of the Ultramarines.)
This is all just a marketing stunt to sell the “protest” merch from the merch shop: T-shirts, scarves, and mugs. But the video has a more or less serious background.
What’s behind it: Games Workshop regularly releases new models for the Warhammer tabletop – for both 40,000 and Age of Sigmar and The Old World. However, particularly in Warhammer 40,000, there is a significant imbalance.
In recent months, there have been various minis for all kinds of factions, including a whole new “dwarf” faction with the Votann conglomerates, but one army receives more than all others: Space Marines.
And even here there are differences, as especially the Ultramarines, considered the poster boys of the universe, receive special models. Recently, for example, a small squad around Captain Titus from Space Marine 2 has appeared, shortly before a new mini for Chapter Master Marneus Augustus Calgar.
This makes sense, as the story of Warhammer 40,000 continues here. In addition, a new set has been released around the Horus Heresy, focusing on Space Marines from the 31st millennium and their massive armors.
Nonetheless, this imbalance keeps causing discussions in the community because other armies are not receiving nearly as many new models or are even losing – meaning: old models have no rules anymore in new codices. But the fans are taking the jab well.
Start video
Games Workshop zeigt „Proteste“ vor dem Hauptquartier von Warhammer 40.000
Rather effective British trolling
In the comments under the video, YouTube users are already praising the successful trolling or are fully on board with the staged protests. It really can’t be that Calgar is so neglected, he urgently needs a Saturnine armor with a jump-pack on a scooter.
Also on Reddit fans find themselves entertained by the video – even if they see the “protest” as rage baiting. However, this whole thing is good marketing, and at least Games Workshop seems to be aware that something is not balanced here. Story-wise, it all makes sense even if it sounds very much like marketing for new models:
On one hand, the miniature is almost 10 years old and was made right before primaris became a thing.
On the other hand space marines don’t need more releases right at the end of the edition when they’re inevitably just going to get a range refresh anyway.
The advertising for the new merch is getting its own special attention. In the Grimdank subreddit, there are heaps of memes and edited pictures of completely absurd items, such as edited US flags and satire about political events.
That Space Marines are receiving so many new models is certainly due to their popularity: according to goonhammer, they are the most played army at tournaments by a large margin. Additionally, there are individual chapters, each with their own rules.
The Christmas season is also a time of celebration, gifts, and great rewards in the tank MMO World of Tanks. Every year, a special ambassador is brought on board – this time, the well-known British actor Benedict Cumberbatch.
What kind of game is it? World of Tanks is a team-based MMO action game where you engage in large tank battles with other players. The game’s arsenal includes over 800 armored vehicles from eleven nations, all depicted with meticulous historical accuracy.
The actor, best known for his roles as Sherlock Holmes in BBC’s Sherlock and Doctor Strange in the MCU, is now also the official ambassador for “World of Tanks Holiday Ops 2026”. It may seem surprising at first, as the Brit is primarily known for his intelligent demeanor and charismatic presence.
In this year’s short film for the event, which also serves as a trailer, the actor appears as an eccentric therapist:

When does the event start? The Holiday Ops 2026 begin on December 5, 2025, and last until January 12, 2026. Players can expect festive missions, shining rewards, and Christmas surprises, according to the developers.
Benedict Cumberbatch welcomes the tank drivers in the Christmas garage and gives them special missions. Through these, players can earn exclusive rewards from the star, including his appearance in the game as a commander with his original voice.
With his unique approach, Cumberbatch is said to bring a new leadership style – “characterized by calmness, strategy, and wise instructions on the battlefield.”
Dynamax-Lugia in Pokémon GO awaits you this weekend. How to defeat Dynamax-Lugia? We show you tips and counters.
When does the Dyna weekend start? The Dyna battle weekend starts on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at 06:00 AM. It ends on Sunday, November 30, at 21:00.
What bonuses apply? The following content is active:
Dynamax-Lugia appears in level-5 Dynamax battles
The particle limit increases to 1,600
You only walk a quarter of the distance for particles
The current limited research of the day is already running until the end of the event
It brings you a Dyna-Nebulak, whose evolution you can use against Lugia
But how do you defeat Lugia? We will look at that here.
Start video
Pokémon GO shows its new season in the trailer
Tip 1: Strong counters to attack Dynamax-Lugia
Lugia is a Pokémon that can withstand a lot of damage. This is likely also the case with its Dynamax form. The level-5 battle will therefore not be easy. To defeat the monster, you definitely need suitable counters and enough trainers.
Lugia has weaknesses against the types Electric, Ice, Rock, Ghost, and Dark. So you need attacks from these types using suitable Pokémon.
What are strong attackers against Dynamax-Lugia? In Pokémon GO, you currently have the best damage prospects against Lugia with the following Pokémon:
Gigantamax-Gengar
Gigantamax-Olangaar
Gigantamax-Riffex
Dynamax-Gengar
Dynamax-Urshifu
Dynamax-Zapdos
But you also need strong monsters defensively.
Tip 2: Strong counters to defend against Lugia
Lugia has powerful attacks in its repertoire, from the types Flying, Psychic, and Water. You must be able to endure those. Your defenders should be able to soak up the attacks or even strengthen your attackers. Which are most suitable depends on the attacks that your opponent’s Lugia knows. However, the following are generally well-suited:
Dynamax-Heiteira
Gigantamax-Lapras
Dynamax-Krarmor
Zacian and Zamazenta in their king forms
Dynamax-Metagross
Dynamax-Latias
Tip 3: Strategically switch your Pokémon
Dynamax is not just about offense, but a game of switching.
Your attackers should enter play only during the Dyna phase to unleash their charge attacks and otherwise stay safe
Your defenders should have fast quick attacks (0.5-second animations) to fill the Dynamax bar as quickly as possible
Avoid charge attacks outside of Dyna phases, as they take time and do not deal enough damage
If you don’t have good attackers, rely on healers to support players with good attackers
Tip 4: Play with enough trainers
A Dynamax group can include up to four players, which you will likely need in the level-5 battle against Lugia. It is important to discuss who will take on which role—attacker or healer. Additionally, you should help players with counter choices who may not be very familiar with the game.
It is now also possible to invite via remote raid.
Tip 5: Use adventure effects
You can use the adventure effects from Zacian, Zamazenta, or Endynalos to gain boosts. Depending on the Pokémon, you will receive:
Increased attack power (Zacian)
Increased defense (Zamazenta)
Increased attack level (Endynalos)
Additionally, Dyna-mushrooms can give you double attack power if you have some. With those, you can theoretically balance missing players to some extent.

The game Disney Dreamlight Valley combines all the cozy elements that MeinMMO author Johanna needs to play for hours. However, the game only drew her in once she gave it a second chance on Steam after three years.
What game is it? Disney Dreamlight Valley combines gameplay elements from life simulation and adventure. In the game, you enter a Disney village that has been plagued by Night Thorns. The inhabitants, all Disney characters, have forgotten their harmonious life in the village and have disappeared.
As players arrive in the village, hope also arrives to restore the village to its former glory. New areas and Disney characters can be unlocked one after the other. The village can be decorated as desired, and friendships can be formed with the characters. Each character has story quests as well as friendship quests, which can be completed one by one.

Disney Dreamlight Valley – Announcement Trailer
It’s no fun on the Nintendo Switch
What was the problem? As a big fan of the “Animal Crossing” games, I thought that Disney Dreamlight Valley would captivate me just as much at its release in 2022 and keep me in the cozy mood for hours.
I got the game on the Nintendo Switch and immersed myself in the Disney life simulation. However, complete immersion proved to be somewhat difficult because while the game ran on the Nintendo Switch, it was limited to 30 FPS and rather poor textures or graphics. I also had to experience crashes repeatedly, which of course led to frustration due to loss of progress.
Who is writing here? Johanna usually writes for MeinMMO about everything related to gaming culture and Twitch streamers. However, her Steam library is filled with cozy and story games. So, everything that can be played comfortably during the winter months.
When I saw a Let’s Play by a YouTuber who was playing on PC and could showcase a much prettier game, my desire to continue gaming diminished completely. I’m usually not someone who loses interest due to poor graphics, but with Disney Dreamlight Valley, which relied on aesthetics, it truly dampened my enthusiasm.
On PC, it suddenly becomes 20 hours in just a few days
The second attempt: My opinion about Disney Dreamlight Valley changed when I discovered that the game is currently on sale for €27.99 on Steam. A 30% discount was enough to give me a nudge to try the game again. Perfect, since I was still missing a cozy game to play with a cup of tea during the cold winter season.
The village and surrounding areas can be freely designed and decorated. In the background, you can see the Disney Castle.
I got the game on Sunday, November 23, 2025, and since then, I’ve managed to put in 20 hours of gameplay. However, I’m still not very far, as Disney Dreamlight Valley offers a world filled with numerous elaborate quests.
Many materials need to be farmed, for instance, and all characters offer entire quest lines instead of just single tasks. Additionally, you can raise friendship with all characters to level 10, which also takes time.
You can invite not only “good” characters to your village in Disney Dreamlight Valley and form friendships with them but also the “bad” ones.
If you find the base game too little, you can expand your time in Disney Dreamlight Valley with the DLCs. However, they are not discounted.
It actually required better graphics and higher resolution for me to fully enjoy Disney Dreamlight Valley. Add in a hot cup of tea and – as MeinMMO author Nicole told me – a good audiobook while you gather the appropriate materials.
One of these three scenarios will probably await us at the release of Destiny 3. Let’s take a look at how the state of the game could look in each case.
Who writes here? Dariusz is an avid shooter player. He has thousands of hours in titles like Rainbow Six: Siege or Battlefield, but also plays other representatives of the genre – including, not least, PvE games like Helldivers 2 or Borderlands. Dariusz has also spent hundreds of hours in Destiny and Destiny 2 and experienced many expansions right at release. Accordingly, he has been following the development of the loot shooter for years.
The best case – Learning from mistakes
Bungie has already proven in the past that they can make games that are well received. We can probably agree that one can really have fun with Destiny and Destiny 2 – or could. If long-time players are upset about the current state and are dissatisfied, it’s mainly because they once had a lot of fun with the game and want to get that old feeling back. The feeling that existed before Bungie worked against the will of the community with specific decisions.
An example would be the introduction of the portal system as a hub for starting activities. What initially sounded cool did not go over well in final implementation. Worse, however, was that it was not an additional alternative to the old system but completely replaced it. Many players complained that with Paragon the perfect system for farming was simply removed.
And Marathon also has gameplay aspects that are not bad – even if the game has been less my thing so far and there is still much room for improvement. But during the alpha test in 2025, the gunplay was good, the movement okay, and there was an interesting system that brings additional tactical depth to the gameplay.
Destiny 3 is Chance for Bungie to learn from the mistakes of Destiny 2 and regain players’ trust with a fresh start. However, Bungie must closely evaluate what the community likes and what it does not, and ideally take community feedback into account during development.
Battlefield 6 as a possible model
EA has provided the perfect template with Battlefield 6 and the Battlefield Labs. The labs are a testing environment created and provided before the release of the shooter, allowing longtime players to test the game before launch and provide feedback.
As a result, Battlefield 6 avoided many mistakes that were made with Battlefield 2042. It is not a perfect game, and longtime fans have especially criticized it (for example, concerning the maps), but at launch, there was a mostly positive atmosphere and high player numbers. Most players had and have a lot of fun with the shooter. The Battlefield Labs were a success.
Bungie MUST take this as a model and involve veteran Guardians early in feedback loops. If they manage to implement the feedback properly, Destiny 3 can become really good – and a lifeline for the ailing franchise.

The worst case – A game that fans do not want to play
For the worst-case scenario, there are various scenarios. Sony could, for example, prematurely cancel the development of Destiny 3 and take drastic action against Bungie if the upcoming expansions for Destiny 2 do not resonate and Marathon actually becomes the expected flop.
Somewhat less severe, but still very serious: Destiny 3 will be a game that has not learned from past mistakes.
When Destiny 3 arrives, most of the game needs to be good, as fans have been EXTREMELY critical for years. They also find small “mistakes” and point them out clearly. The worst that can happen to Destiny 3, aside from an early cancellation of development, is the repetition of old mistakes:
Content vault and recycled content: Old DLC content from Destiny 2, for which players paid, has ended up in the content vault and was never playable again – unless recycled as “new” content. Destiny 3 must offer real innovations. If recycled content from Destiny 1 or 2 becomes the foundation of Destiny 3, players will rain down criticism.
Monetization: The monetization of Destiny 2 has long been a point of criticism. There are expensive skins, various currencies, and paid DLCs. If the quality of the content doesn’t matter, players feel “ripped off” and even small inconsistencies then greatly affect players’ willingness to buy.
Big mistakes must absolutely be avoided. Renewed plagiarism errors or game content that was developed completely outside of the community’s interest can be the nail in the coffin for Destiny and Bungie.
The realistic case – Neither perfect nor a total failure
We have looked at the best and worst cases. But what is realistic? Probably something in between.
Destiny 3 has good prospects of not being a fundamentally bad game. But measured against the recent developments of Destiny 2, Destiny 3 might, for example, forgo a feature or mechanic that many players like from Destiny 2. Instead, a system that is broken or poorly received might be implemented – let’s remember the chopping of Paragon and the introduction of the portal. Or the drastic lowering of the power level.
The community will seize upon these seemingly minor errors in hundreds of social media posts, creating a negative atmosphere around a fundamentally solid game. The result:
A loot shooter that can be especially fun for new players, but is not perfect.
Yes, there will be problems. Yes, you longtime players won’t like everything, and some may finally turn away from the franchise. But if Destiny 3 manages to attract many players – whether new or old – and provide them with a nice time for a few weeks, then the game has a foundation that Bungie can work with in the following months and years.
Among you MeinMMO readers, some still have hope in the brand and believe that Destiny 3 can become a good game and can achieve a lot in the MMO market with Sony’s resources. But you all agree that one must first wait for the release of Marathon and Sony’s subsequent reaction. The extraction shooter could change everything for Bungie.
The Series of Fallout is coming soon to Amazon Prime for Season 2, which is why new images and videos of the series are being released regularly. A fan had to share a new TV spot with the community, which mainly draws attention to the past.
What kind of clip is this? On Reddit, user Rare-Act-4466 posted a short clip about Season 2 of Fallout. Judging by the rating in the upper left and the length, it appears to be a spot that aired on regular television.
The spot shows countless short scenes in just 26 seconds that cover many aspects of the upcoming season. We see weapons, the Power Armor, action scenes, and many characters. The popular Deathclaw, at least the claw, is also shown. This seems to particularly interest the fans, as it could confirm important details about the time before the apocalypse.
A longer trailer for the season can be found here:

Fans are especially excited about one thing after the spot: The Past
What theory is this about? Under the still fairly new Reddit post, some fans have already gathered. The most important detail seems to be the Deathclaw, which appears to be fighting in Alaska. The human Cooper is also shown in a snowy area in Power Armor.
User dicchocolate02 (Reddit) even suspects that the Deathclaw is fighting against a Chinese soldier in the clip. These can only be scenes from the time before the Great War. Fans suspect that the series could confirm an important theory that even the original Fallout creator has talked about.

Before the Great War, which triggered the nuclear bombs in 2077 in the Fallout universe, China was at war with the USA over resources. China attacked Alaska due to its resource deposits. However, the Americans took back Alaska. But the dropping of nuclear weapons occurred, which destroyed both countries.
The new season could finally clarify who fired the nuclear weapons first. Season 1 does show that Vault Tec had planned such a thing. However, due to the sequence of scenes, it cannot be confirmed that Vault Tec really fired them first. Scenes about Alaska and the war with China could shed more light on the dark (source: Fallout Wiki).
The lead developer of the first Fallout game (1997), Tim Cain, already stated that China supposedly fired the first bombs (source: PCGamer). He further explains that the USA was supposed to have worked on bioweapons (like the Deathclaws), even though they were not allowed to. China therefore felt compelled to respond with nuclear weapons.
These events, while not canon in the universe of the Bethesda games (from part 3) as Tim Cain himself says, could, however, be touched upon in the future, even in the series. Due to Cooper’s connection to Vault Tec, Season 2 would be a perfect opportunity for that.
A team from Ubisoft reports that Assassin’s Creed Shadows for the Switch 2 has been a massive challenge.This is primarily due to the weaker performance compared to PC and other consoles.
The Switch 2 is considered a more powerful alternative to the old Switch, as it comes with numerous improvements. However, for modern AAA games, this is still not enough in most cases.
Ubisoft has now shared in a blog post how challenging it has been to port Assassin’s Creed Shadows for the Switch. For modern AAA titles like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the Switch 2 remains significantly underpowered. However, the Switch 2 is so successful that Ubisoft must take on the effort to support the successful platform.

The Switch 2 is very successful, which is why developers are bringing their games to the console
The developers stated: In the official blog post by Ubisoft, the developers explained that it was no easy task to port Assassin’s Creed Shadows to the Switch 2. A developer, who is only referred to as Bruno, said:
Bringing Shadows to the Switch 2 was one of the most difficult yet rewarding challenges I have ever faced. We had to rethink almost everything, from how the world is rendered to the interaction of the systems, while keeping the soul of the game intact.
Ubisoft explained that they had made numerous optimizations to bring the game to the Switch 2. This was mainly due to the limited system resources of the Switch, especially in terms of memory.
According to the post, the team spent a lot of time adjusting things like LOD (Level of Detail), rendering distances, texture resolution, and element load times to ensure that the game remains playable on the Switch 2.
This also shows that the Switch 2, despite its low performance, is very successful and that Nintendo’s plan is working. Additionally, the Switch family primarily targets casual gamers rather than enthusiasts or users who want to enjoy everything at the highest settings.
And companies like Ubisoft, which want to benefit from the success of this platform, must inevitably port their game to the Switch 2 if they want to sell it there.
It’s not surprising that Nintendo now wants to focus on the Switch 2. In the long run, this also means that the old Switch will no longer have a future. However, Nintendo still wants to continue selling both the old and the new hardware. And they also do not want to commit to an end date for the Switch 1 just yet. It is clear, however, that the old Switch is likely coming to an end: With a single sentence, Nintendo has just made it clear that they will not support the Switch forever.

Path of Exile 2 has released its new teaser, which reveals the theme of the new season. Fans are looking forward to an old acquaintance.
What is the theme of the new league? The upcoming season of Path of Exile 2 will be characterized by the new Druid class, but the league mechanic has been unknown until now. The developers have now released a teaser titled “Fate of the Vaal,” which reveals the theme.
As the name suggests, the season revolves around the Vaal civilization. It is an ancient civilization that arose long before the current events of Path of Exile and can be found in the game both in ancient temples and through Vaal Orbs.
Here you can watch the teaser:

Time for Corruption
What can be expected from the new season? With the Vaal as the theme for the upcoming season of Path of Exile 2, players can expect many Vaal Orbs and other corrupting items.
The Vaal Orbs allow players to re-enchant their items to make them even more powerful, but the ancient technology is unpredictable, and an enchantment with the Vaal Orbs can also go wrong, corrupting the items and causing them to lose their good stats.
Enemies can also be affected by Vaal corruption. This can be found in Path of Exile in randomly generated mini-dungeons filled with enhanced monsters. These attack faster and deal more damage.
Mini-dungeons may also receive an update in the new season, thus becoming part of the new season in Path of Exile 2. However, what exactly the developers are planning is still unknown.
How are players reacting to the announcement? Although players of Path of Exile 2 previously thought that the new season focused solely on the Druid class, their attention has now turned to reuniting with an old acquaintance. Fans believe that the teaser shows the young Atziri.
Atziri has been a central figure in Path of Exile as she is the last queen of the Vaal civilization. According to fans, in the teaser, she appears in a younger form on YouTube. Fans are looking forward to this reunion, especially since the character was already a fan favorite in Path of Exile (1).
The new season of Path of Exile 2 starts on December 12 across all platforms. Before that, the developers will showcase what the season is really about on Twitch. The livestream takes place on December 4 at 8:00 PM.
With the Druid, the developers have fulfilled a long-held fan wish. The teaser, however, reveals too little to generate significant anticipation. Besides the cult of personality around the queen of the Vaal, most players are still more interested in the Druids.

Woven in Malice is one of the Lost Chapters of Where Winds Meet. Here you can learn how to unlock the side quest and address possible issues.
What kind of quest is this? Woven in Malice is an event quest in Where Winds Meet. It belongs to the Lost Chapters, which are special side quests waiting to be discovered. You can expect a lot of loot as a reward.
However, unlocking and starting the quest is not that easy, and it can be quite error-prone as well. That’s why we will show you the optimal way to activate it, and we will give you tips on how to possibly resolve issues.

How to start the quest and find the scholar
In the menu, you can find the quest under the “Event” section. There is also a brief description and a hint of where to start the quest. You should look for a scholar near the Buddha Fortress:
For this, it’s best to travel to the milestone named “Buddha Fortress” in the northeast of Qinghe. We have marked the milestone and the location where you can find the scholar on this map:
You will find the scholar at the green circle to start the quest “Woven in Malice”.
Once you arrive, keep an eye open for a person in a light outfit and a black headpiece, who is located across from a bronze bell. You will find it near a tree in close proximity. Here is what the scholar looks like:
Look out for this person when you arrive at the location.
Talk to him and choose one of the response options. Which one you choose does not matter for the quest.
Wait a moment and then talk to the scholar again. You need a bit of patience here, and sometimes it helps to walk around a bit and return to the scholar until you can talk to him again.
Then you just need to follow the individual steps, all of which will be marked for you to easily complete the quest.
When you talk to the scholar for the second time, he will give you a hint and officially start the quest.
Known issues and possible solutions
Some players encounter the problem that they cannot start the quest at all. This is usually because the scholar cannot be found and does not appear at the marked location on the map even after some time.
This may be because you have not fulfilled some hidden requirements in the game, or simply that you have unfortunately fallen victim to a bug.
The following solutions have worked for us or other players:
Defeat all enemies in and around the location at the Buddha Fortress and wait a moment before returning to the location
It may be that an enemy is blocking the appearance of the scholar
Complete side quests near the location
Some players have found it helpful to complete smaller side quests in the immediate area
Progress in the main story
If you have not yet arrived in Kaifeng, it may be that you have not progressed far enough in the game to start the quest
Continue to explore the world and increase your exploration level
For us, it helped to reach exploration level 3 for the scholar to appear at the right location and the quest to be started
Finish the game and restart it
Sounds simple, but it has worked before
What if none of this helps? If you have already tried all this and invested some time, it is likely that you are experiencing a widespread bug. Just wait a few days or, if it is very important to you, contact the support of Where Winds Meet.
The community of Lord of the Rings Online is planning a very special event right before Christmas, which aims to recreate the journey of the companions – but with a twist.
What exactly is the plan? The player Metamutt presents the new community project for Lord of the Rings Online on Reddit. On December 20, 2025, at 4:00 PM, the largest group of companions ever is set to depart from Hobbiton. The destination: Mordor, of course.
They intend to reach Mount Doom within a stream. Without fast travel. Riding, laughing, and singing. Due to the enormous distance that all participating companions must cover, the organizers warn: “Yes, it could take all day.”
The next expansion for Lord of the Rings Online is already on the horizon:

How to join the companions
How can I participate? A Discord server created for the event currently has a poll underway to decide on which server the assault on Mordor shall take place. Once the server is determined, all interested parties must create a character there and complete the tutorial (which takes about an hour).
Also note that the different races in Lord of the Rings Online have different starting areas. If you choose a race that does not start in Hobbiton, you should bring your character to the homeland of the Hobbits before the event starts. What level your character is at does not matter at all.

A study examined the labor market in the USA. It concludes that one-tenth of workers could be replaced by AI. This further increases the pressure on employees, who already fear being replaced by AI.
A new MIT study (PDF file) concludes that today’s AI systems could theoretically take on tasks equivalent to around 11.7% of the US workforce. This primarily applies to well-paid, knowledge-intensive office jobs.
In principle, this study can be transferred to the German labor market if a few adjustments are made.
Researchers simulate the US labor market to calculate whom AI could replace
What exactly did the researchers do? The study was conducted using a labor simulation tool called Iceberg Index, developed by MIT and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The MIT researchers simulated a “digital twin” of the US labor market with 151 million employees, 923 occupational groups, and over 32,000 skills to calculate where AI can currently perform tasks at least cost-equivalent or cheaper than humans.
From these calculations, it emerges that approximately 11.7% of the wage sum – about 1.2 trillion US dollars – could be technically and economically automatable if companies fully utilized the existing AI.
However, it is important to note that the researchers only calculated the potential for automation. That is, how many jobs could possibly be replaced without necessarily providing the option for it (via cnbc.com).
Select a MMO video…
Complex tasks and routines could be directly replaced by AI
Which jobs are particularly affected? In particular, cognitive and administrative tasks in finance, health administration, human resources, logistics, as well as legal and accounting services could already be well taken over by AI. It is less about manual labor, but rather about routine office tasks such as data entry, standard reports, simple analyses, appointment and document management, or form processing. This is reported by Fortune.com.
Can this also be transferred to Germany? The MIT study on the US labor market can essentially be transferred to Germany, as similar AI technologies and automation potentials exist in cognitive and administrative activities, but adjustments to the German occupational structure, regulations, and industry focus are necessary to obtain comparable estimates.
However, it is already true in Germany: Highly qualified jobs, such as in IT or engineering, are more affected by AI, while simple tasks are supplemented by physical automation.
Many individuals fear for their jobs due to AI. Now, Microsoft has published a study indicating which jobs are most likely to be affected. Here, 40 jobs are listed that are strongly affected by AI. However, 40 jobs are also mentioned that need not worry. Those working as embalmers can now relax: 40 professions that Microsoft indicates are most affected by AI – and 40 that are still safe
