Hurry up! In Pokémon GO there are only a few hours left to strengthen your cryptos

Franzi Korittke Franzi Korittke Reading time 4 minutes

In Pokémon GO the last hours of the Rocket takeover have begun, marking the last chance to strengthen your Crypto Pokémon for the time being. We from MeinMMO will show you why you should definitely take advantage of the bonus before the event ends.

What event is this about? Pokémon GO was taken over by the villains of Team GO Rocket on November 14, 2022, which is why they have been found more frequently in the game in recent days. Today, the Rocket takeover is coming to an end, and not only will encounters with the thugs and bosses become less frequent, but the event bonuses will also disappear.

Before the event comes to an end, you should definitely take advantage of one of the Rocket bonuses if you haven’t done so yet: forgetting Frustration. We will explain what this bonus is about and why you should not miss this opportunity.

How long is the bonus still active? The Rocket takeover lasts until today, November 17, 2022, at 8:00 PM local time. Until then, you have the opportunity to make your Pokémon forget Frustration.

Forgetting Frustration – How to do it and why it’s worth it

What is Frustration? Frustration is a charged attack that your caught Crypto Pokémon automatically learn. Unlike other Pokémon, you cannot simply change the charged attack of Cryptos at will.

Niantic only allows these changes during specific events, which is why this opportunity is limited to a few days in the year. Due to the Rocket takeover, it is time again for you to free your Crypto Pokémon from the annoying Frustration attack and assign a new move.

How does it work? In order for your Crypto Pokémon to forget Frustration, you only need to use a Charged TM during the event period. As you probably know from other Pokémon, a random new move from the respective pool of the Pokémon will be assigned. Thus, it is random which move your Pokémon will get, and this may require several attempts.

If you want to assign a specific move directly, you can alternatively use a Charged TM. With this, you will get a selection window where you can choose the new move directly.

This is how you make Mewtwo forget the attack with Charged TM

Here we show you 2 tips on how to save time when forgetting Frustration.

Why should you forget Frustration?

Here’s why you should take advantage of the Rocket bonus: The Frustration attack is a Normal-type attack. Overall, this attack is not particularly strong. If you want to use your Crypto Pokémon in battle, it makes sense to give it a strong moveset.

For example, Mewtwo, the legendary Crypto Pokémon of Giovanni, with a moveset of Confusion and Psychic is one of the best Psychic attackers in Pokémon GO. Therefore, it is sensible to give Crypto-Mewtwo and some other strong Crypto Pokémon a better moveset by forgetting Frustration.

For this reason, you should take advantage of the opportunity before the Rocket takeover ends. When the next chance after the event will be is still not known.

Which Pokémon are particularly worthwhile to forget Frustration? We have summarized this for you in the following article:

von Franzi Korittke

Can’t you just redeem the Cryptos? Yes, in principle, you can redeem the Crypto Pokémon and change their attacks like any other Pokémon. However, we advise against this because the Crypto form of many Pokémon can be very beneficial for you.

Unlike their normal variants, Cryptos can benefit from a 20% attack bonus. This means they are slightly stronger in battle than other Pokémon. This can be especially helpful in raids. However, their defense decreases as well, making them less durable in battle.

Here we explain why you should rather not redeem your Crypto Pokémon.

What else should you consider? If you have made a Crypto Pokémon forget the charged attack Frustration, you should ideally not redeem this Pokémon anymore. Otherwise, it will learn the charged attack Return, which is a counterpart to Frustration and also belongs to the Normal type.

Although you can change the move of redeemed Pokémon at any time, it will again cost you Charged TMs. To save yourself these, you should preferably think in advance about whether redeeming makes sense or if you would rather keep the Pokémon as a Crypto.

Where to find Crypto Pokémon?

This is how you get the Crypto Pokémon: To secure the Crypto Pokémon, you need to battle the members of Team GO Rocket. After the battle, you will have a special encounter where you have the chance to catch one of the Pokémon.

With Team GO Rocket bosses Arlo, Sierra, and Cliff, you also have a chance of finding a shiny specimen with a bit of luck.

Where can you find Team GO Rocket? The members of Team GO Rocket settle at Pokéstops and appear multiple times a day in balloons. However, for the bosses, you need special Rocket radars to locate them.

While the grunts are relatively easy to defeat, you should prepare well for the Rocket bosses Arlo, Sierra, Cliff, and their big leader Giovanni. Here we show you the best counters against Team GO Rocket:

How to track down Team GO Rocket in the remaining hours and obtain Rocket radars, you can see in the following video.

Have you already made your Crypto Pokémon forget Frustration? If so, which Pokémon did you assign a new move to? Or do you find this bonus rather uninteresting? Feel free to let us know here at MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers on this topic.

In Pokémon GO, there are speculations about a surprise event on the last weekend of November. Niantic partners are currently sharing mysterious teasers that pose riddles to trainers.

If you play the new class Evoker in WoW, you should always use a certain ability

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

The new callers of the Dracthyr in WoW: Dragonflight can switch between a dragon form and a humanoid appearance. This can even happen automatically with a special ability and provides enormous advantages – especially when leveling or conquering dungeons.

What is this ability? Like Worgen, Dracthyr have two forms they can switch between. Chosen Identity transforms you automatically into your visage form whenever you are not in combat or currently using the ability Glide.

You obtain the ability along with the visage itself upon completing the introductory campaign of the Dracthyr, which you can play since Phase 2 of the pre-patch on November 16. Furorion or Evoker explain the spell to you in a short quest.

Why is “Chosen Identity” so important? As long as you are in the visage form, you have a significantly increased health regeneration. It is so powerful that you might be able to forgo healing or food while traveling between two fights.

This is especially useful in dungeons or while leveling, where you might not always think about switching automatically (or simply don’t feel like it). However, you save yourself valuable time, mana from the healer, or simply gold, which in Dragonflight is not easy to come by anymore.

Chosen Identity is an aura. This means the spell remains active until you cancel it yourself. If you want to know more about the new class, you can find on MeinMMO our extensive Evoker guide with builds for DPS & healers.

Do you want to know why we even travel to the Dragon Isles? In a new cinematic, the dragon aspects themselves reveal this, but spoiler warning!

WoW Cinematic: The Unleashed Storm

Chosen Identity helps you while leveling and in dungeons

If you want to level especially quickly as Dracthyr in Dragonflight after the release on November 29, Chosen Identity is almost a must. The feature saves you time and allows you to fight enemies nearly without a break when you have to run a short distance.

Note that there are already some issues that prevent you from using abilities. These are related to addons and can be easily fixed. Upon release, there will probably be similar issues at least in the first days.

Leveling in Dragonflight is incredibly fast, by the way. The leveling phase up to level 70 is supposed to take just over 3 hours if you utilize all possibilities. That’s about as long as the journey to level 60:

WoW: You can already get 20 inventory slots as reagent bag – Here’s how

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Do you want more space in World of Warcraft? From now on, you will receive 20 item slots for free – because there is a reagent bag that makes everything better.

Inventory space is a rare commodity in World of Warcraft. If you collect a lot of gear, carry potions with you, and like to gather herbs, ores, or cloth, you will quickly reach your inventory’s limit. However, in Patch 10.0, there was already a new bag slot for a “reagent bag” – this has not been available until now.

Now this is exactly possible, as the pre-event for Dragonflight grants you 20 inventory slots!

What is the reagent bag? This is a brand new bag slot added with Dragonflight. This increases the number of bags you have. You will now have your standard backpack, four regular bags, and your reagent bag. As the name suggests, these bags only contain crafting materials.

How do you get the reagent bag? Actually, large reagent bags will only be available with Dragonflight, but you can secure one right now! In the pre-event, there is a bag, and it is practically free – the effort is minimal.

You can buy it from the event vendor of the Primalist attacks, depending on your faction:

  • Horde: Storm Hunter Suhrakka in Durotar (56 / 12)
  • Alliance: Storm Hunter William in Stormwind (25 / 53)

To purchase the “Storm-Battered Reagent Bag,” you need 5 “Primal Essence,” which is the event currency. 5 is quite a small amount, which you should probably have after 2 minutes. Just the first quest for the event grants you 60 of these essences. Since the essences are account-bound, you could easily send the 60 essences to equip 12 characters with the new bag!

WoW Storm Battered Bag
The bag costs only 5 essences – that’s practically free.

The bag only has 20 slots, but these are 20 new slots that do not burden the rest of your inventory. Therefore, it is worthwhile to get the “Storm-Battered Reagent Bag” now to benefit from the additional space in the coming weeks.

More about World of Warcraft can be found here:

How to get Primal Essences? You can only get essences in one way: You have to play the pre-event. Simply take the quests in Stormwind or Orgrimmar at level 60 – you will be summoned by a black dragon to your leaders. After a brief explanation, you will be led to the event vendors and receive some quests. For these, you must participate in the “Primal Elemental” attacks and kill creatures in the marked areas on the map.

The majority of mobs there drop essences fairly generously, so you should have enough after a handful of such attacks to buy the bag and all other rewards – like a toy and armor set.

Have you already gotten the Storm-Battered Reagent Bag and enjoy the space in your inventory?

New World: Everything about the new Turkey event and patch 1.7.2

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 4 minutes

In New World, the new patch 1.7.2 was released on November 16th. This mainly brought bug fixes and a new event. It is called Turkey Terror, fitting for Thanksgiving. We at MeinMMO will reveal everything important to you.

What kind of event is this? In Turkey Terror, huge turkeys – also called Trutalon – appear at certain locations. They are not easy to defeat, so you need a group, similar to the previous Halloween event.

As a group, you must have dealt at least 1% damage to the boss in order to receive a reward. The rewards include:

  • Giant Turkey Leg – An item for crafting a buff food for increased drop luck. You can earn up to 5 per day – the drop chance is 100%.
  • Trutaloss, sullen poultry pet – A housing item. The drop chance is 31%.
  • Trutalon Egg Nest – A housing item that you can get dropped once a week. The chance is 2%.
  • Feast Food Trophy – A trophy in housing that makes your buff food last longer. The drop chance is 3%.
  • Trutalon’s juicy legs boots skin – A skin for shoes. You can earn a maximum of 15 over the entire event and the drop chance is 9%.

The turkeys appear like last year in Everfall, Brightwood, Lost Coast, Windsward, Monarch’s Bluffs, Cutlass Keys, Mourningdale, and First Light. Only one turkey can be active in each area, but multiple turkeys can be in different areas at the same time. We have included a map of the spawn points for you.

New World Turkey Map
The spawn points of the giant turkeys (via Newworld-map).

How do I get Diamond Gypsum? To get Diamond Gypsum, you must defeat and skin normal turkeys during the event. This way, you can earn up to 6 gypsum per day. Additionally, the normal turkeys drop treasure chests with coins inside. You can receive up to 3 per day.

Another new item is the Turkey Terror Skinning Knife. If you use it to skin one of the large turkeys, you may receive a new potion that specifically reduces the damage from Trutalon’s attacks.

How long will the event run? Currently, there is no specific date for when the event will end. Last year, it lasted about three weeks.

FIFA 23: OTW Tracker – These players can get upgrades

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 3 minutes

The OTW event brought dynamic cards to FIFA 23, which can improve over time. We will show you when players are ready for upgrades.

This is how OTW upgrades work: In addition to the upgrade methods that were active in 2022, there will be another way for Ones-to-Watch cards to rise in rating in 2023.

These are the three upgrade options:

  • The player appears in a Team of the Week or receives another performance-based special card like Man-of-the-Match. This can lead to upgrades as many times as needed.
  • A one-time upgrade is awarded when the player’s team wins three out of eight matches in their domestic league starting from September 30, 2022. The player does not have to be in the starting lineup.
  • Another one-time upgrade is available if the player’s national team wins a match in the World Cup. Again, the player does not have to be in the starting lineup or even in the squad.

In CoD Warzone 2 you can now disrupt the map together with your opponents – new feature makes it possible

In Call of Duty: Warzone 2 players can now join opposing teams through a simple feature. MeinMMO tells you how to do it.

It’s here, Season 1 of CoD Modern Warfare 2 is here and also Warzone 2 is online.

Several hours before the originally indicated release, you can already form a squad with your friends and dive into the battlefield of the highly anticipated battle royale shooter – but you can’t only play with your friends.

As the online magazine CharlieIntel reports on Twitter, it should also be possible to join an opposing squad in Warzone 2. CoD fans on reddit describe the new feature with the simple motto: “If you can’t beat your enemies, join them.”

If you’re interested in more about Warzone 2 :

Warzone Uses Emotes Not Just for Dancing

How can I join opponents? You can join an opposing team in Warzone 2 through the emote wheel. There, there is the option to “request to join enemy squad”.

If the opposing squad accepts your request, you will become a member of their squad. Conversely, the feature should work the same way: An enemy player can request to join your squad, and your team has the option to accept or decline the request.

This feature thus offers the first opportunity to join enemies through the emote wheel. Emotes are used in most games, for example, to perform dances or greet other players gesturing.

Strategy game on Steam lets you fight against giant monsters – Has 90% positive reviews

Marie Friske Marie Friske Reading time 3 minutes

In the strategy game “Kaiju Wars” on Steam, you command your military units and fight against giant creatures like Godzilla and King Kong. The game has received a very positive rating from players, with 90% of reviews being positive.

What kind of game is Kaiju Wars? The game throws you into the typical scenario of a Kaiju film.

The term “Kaiju” refers to a Japanese film and television genre that features giant monsters. The creatures themselves are also referred to as Kaiju.

Often, the story involves the monsters attacking a city and being fought off by the military (or other giant animals). Prominent examples of the genre include King Kong, Godzilla, or Pacific Rim.

The game is a turn-based 2D strategy game. As the mayor in Kaiju Wars, you take command of the military and fight against the giant creatures that threaten the cities.

Here you can see the launch trailer for Kaiju Wars:

KAIJU WARS – Official Launch Trailer

Force the monsters to retreat and protect the lab

What does the gameplay look like in Kaiju Wars? The game is designed in 2D with a bright retro look. In battle against the monsters, you send your forces, such as tanks or fighter jets, to stop the creatures.

Additionally, players can build structures, such as army bases or airstrips, to distract the monsters for a while. The game also equips you with unusual weapons, such as freeze rays and battle mechs.

Here you can see some screenshots from the game

The catch is: Kaiju cannot be killed. You can only slow them down and force them to retreat. However, they always return to the cities – sometimes stronger than before.

For the monsters evolve and mutate, gaining new and stronger abilities. You will encounter a total of five different monsters in the game, including a giant ape and a dinosaur-like creature.

However, you have scientists as an ace up your sleeve. They can calculate the likelihood of the next move of the monsters, giving you the chance to anticipate their actions.

You need to keep one building in particular in view: The lab with the scientists who are working on developing an anti-Kaiju serum. If the monsters get too close to the lab, you need to evacuate the building quickly.

You can also use the map editor to create your own cities or scenarios and then share your creations online. There is also a weekly leaderboard where you can prove yourself against other players.

More on games on Steam can be found here on MeinMMO:

How do players rate Kaiju Wars? The game scores very well on the gaming platform. However, it should also be noted that there are only a few reviews in total: Of the 121 reviews, 90% are positive (as of November 16, 2022, via Steam).

How much does Kaiju Wars cost on Steam? You can buy the game on Steam for €16.79. If you want to test the game first, you have the option to download the demo.

Here you can find a co-op game that was briefly free and gathered over 100,000 players on Steam – now available in a special offer for under €6.

After you have eliminated the Chemist, you need to pick up his weapon. Then you must extract from the map with the rifle in your possession.

If you are interested in more about Warzone 2 :

Is there a downside to the mission? Yes! Although the procedure does not seem particularly complicated and can presumably be implemented without problems by most players, the mission has a small catch.

For each Chemist kill, only one member of your squad can pick up the weapon blueprint and thus unlock it, as the Chemist only carries one copy of the rifle. For every additional squad member, you need to repeat the process.

However, team members unlock the base weapon – but for the special blueprint, you need to go back in.

Moreover, especially at the start of Warzone 2, it is to be expected to encounter the Chemist with enemy players. After all, you are not the only one wanting the new weapon.

However, you can also get the gun completely without the Chemist. If you have a teammate who is willing to pass the weapon from his DMZ inventory to you, it also counts once you extract it.

CoD Warzone 2: Download errors on consoles, driver stress on PC – How to solve the issues with Season 1

Dariusz MĂĽller Dariusz MĂĽller Reading time 2 minutes

Shortly after the release of Call of Duty: Warzone 2, graphics drivers and download errors are causing trouble. MeinMMO shows you how to fix the problems.

Warzone 2 is finally online, but if you wanted to casually jump into the first rounds, a few problems may have tested your patience.

PC players were plagued by a message stating their graphics drivers were outdated. Console players, on the other hand, were frustrated with error messages like “Cannot be installed” or “Multiplayer not installed.” MeinMMO shows you how you can fix these issues.

PC: How to fix the error message “Graphics driver is outdated”

What is the error on PC? Warzone 2 players who do not have the latest graphics card driver installed will receive an error message “Graphics driver is outdated” when starting the game. This message indicates that you should update your graphics card driver.

How to update the graphics driver? You can update your graphics card driver through GeForce Experience if you have an Nvidia graphics card. The manufacturer provides you with the latest driver here.

Alternatively, you can get the driver from the website of your graphics card provider. Here are the links that will take you to your provider’s website:

  • Nvidia – Drivers for graphics cards via nvidia.com
  • AMD – Drivers for graphics cards via amd.com
  • Intel – Drivers for graphics cards via intel.com

If you generally have problems with Modern Warfare 2 on PC and not just with Warzone 2, MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann shows you 11 tips on how to fix crashes in CoD MW2.

Console: How to fix the download error

What is the error on console? As console players, you don’t have to deal with updating graphics drivers, but particularly on PS5, the download of content is problematic, as a player shows on reddit.

Additionally, it can happen that Warzone 2 incorrectly indicates that the multiplayer is not installed.

How to solve the download error? If Warzone informs you that the multiplayer is not installed, you can help yourself with a few simple steps:

  • Navigate to your downloads and select “Cancel and Delete” for the content pack
  • Then click on “Manage Game Content” under “Modern Warfare 2”
  • Select the icon that looks like a trash can and the packs for multiplayer, co-op, and Warzone
  • Now you can reinstall the content, and the installation of the update should no longer cause any problems

Another problem that some players have noticed pertains to the social menu, which is currently buggy. MeinMMO editor Maik Schneider shows you how to invite friends despite the error.

37-Year-Old Attacked by Teenager Gang While Playing PokĂ©mon GO in the Park: “Oi! There We Are”

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

A 37-year-old man wanted to play Pokémon GO in a public park with his girlfriend, but a group of teenagers had a problem with which bench he sat on, according to British media reports.

Where does the story come from? The story comes from the site “Kent Online”. The local newspaper reports on an incident in a park in Sturry, a village in the north of Canterbury in Kent County. Kent is located in the southeast of England.

Trainer is shoved and beaten by 6 to 8 teenagers

This is what the victim says: The 37-year-old Mark Fernyhouse wanted to visit the park in Sturry with his girlfriend to play Pokémon GO. They sat down on a bench. That was apparently a mistake.

His girlfriend, Tasha Feuchuk (25), says:

We were sitting on the bench in the middle of the park and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a few silhouettes and then I heard: Oi! There we are.

The woman says she immediately stood up and left, but then realized that her boyfriend was no longer beside her. When she turned around, she saw that a group of teenagers was pushing him.

They had pushed him against stuff in the park and kept hitting him in the head with something. It was dark, but there must have been six or eight of them.

After the woman managed to pull her partner out of trouble, they called emergency services. The 25-year-old says her boyfriend had trouble walking, but they could sit on a neighbor’s step while waiting for the police.

This is how it ended: The police took the man to a hospital, where he received a CT scan and had his wound stitched. He is now recovering but doubts that the police can deal with the perpetrators.

The police say: Investigations are ongoing.

Pokémon GO is played outdoors, which often leads to physical conflicts:

New MMORPG on Steam surprisingly reaches 8,000 concurrent players – But receives criticism

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

With TRAHA Global, a new MMORPG was released on Steam in November. The focus is on the battle between two major factions. The title surprisingly reached more than 8,000 concurrent players on Steam, even though it is essentially a mobile game that has only been rudimentarily adapted for PC. Nevertheless, thousands still log in daily on Steam.

What kind of game is it? TRAHA Global is a free-to-play MMORPG that was brought from Korea to the West. In the game world, there is war between the two factions Vulcan and Naiad. You can join one of the kingdoms:

  • You create a character and choose one of seven weapon classes. Available options are: Scythe, Bow, Greatsword, Shield, Dual Blades, Staff, and Brass Knuckles. You can change your class at any time.
  • You traverse an open game world and complete quests.
  • There are dungeons and raids.
  • In PvP, there are various options, including a 1v1 arena and the large RvR, where 100 players from one faction fight against 100 players from the other.

Graphically, it roughly resembles Lost Ark, as you play from a third-person perspective.

What makes the high player numbers on Steam so surprising? Originally, Traha was supposed to be a pure mobile game, which is clearly evident in the user interface. Skills are located on the left side, and the controls with mouse and keyboard don’t feel ideal.

Nevertheless, TRAHA Global peaked at 8,038 players, reaching records set by MMORPGs like Lord of the Rings Online, Old School RuneScape, and even nearly Guild Wars 2 (8,324). Two weeks after the release, 2,000 players are still actively playing, which even surpasses several other MMORPGs like Elyon, Swords of Legends Online, and RuneScape.

Many are also playable outside of Steam; however, these 8,000 users consciously chose to play TRAHA instead. Therefore, we looked at what these players find appealing about the MMORPG.

You can watch the first gameplay of TRAHA here:

Start video
Traha Global Preview-Trailer

Praise for graphics, PvP, and lack of auto-play

What does TRAHA Global do well? On Steam, the MMORPG currently has 729 reviews, of which only 46% are positive. This is not surprising, as many negative reviews directly criticize the mobile appearance and stop playing.

However, there are still a few hundred positive reviews praising various points:

  • The user Sounds Like A You Problem has already invested 200 hours into the game. He finds the game fun and compares arena PvP to Lost Ark. The only difference is that you don’t have standardized gear, but you need to upgrade your equipment. This may fail just like in Lost Ark.
  • Kharneth praises the gigantic 100v100 battles after 90 hours of gameplay.
  • Neoyoshi highlights that TRAHA is one of the best mobile games overall because it avoids auto-combat. However, auto-run to quests is still present. Since it can be played cross-platform, he plays it both on Steam and on his smartphone. He also praises a mini-game for collecting materials, where you need to correctly match images to succeed.

Overall, TRAHA seems to be a decent MMORPG for smartphones, as several reviews on Steam emphasize. We will test it in the coming days and might add it to our list of the best mobile MMORPGs.

More on new MMORPGs on MeinMMO:

What does TRAHA Global do poorly? In the negative reviews, much revolves around the fact that it is a mobile port and that one can spend a lot of money in the game. Upgrade materials are available for real money, and the premium battle pass for 60 dollars is said to be almost a must-buy.

Moreover, there is PvP in the open world, and it can happen that a low-level player is beaten up by stronger players. It is also said that there is a lot of time gating.

Given the negative reviews, we were surprised that TRAHA Global is getting so much attention. There are numerous videos on YouTube, and it is not doing too badly on Steam.

I myself watched the first 30 minutes of TRAHA and made a video about it:

Netflix asks Twitch streamer for a documentary – But then everyone would know what she does

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

Streamer Natalia “Alinity” Mogollon has been on Twitch since 2013. She plays games like World of Warcraft and Apex Legends, has been involved in some scandals with her pets, and is known as a streamer who earns a lot of money with sexualized content on OnlyFans. Now she reveals in a stream that she has received an offer for a Netflix documentary about OnlyFans, but that also brings problems.

Who is Alinity?

In recent years, things have calmed down for Alinity: with 1.5 million followers and an average of over 4,700 viewers, she is still a solid presence on Twitch: Alinity is also well-connected with many streamers in the community. However, it seems to have quieted down around her a bit partly because she is doing well on the OnlyFans platform.

This pleases Alinity now: As Alinity excitedly announced in a Twitch stream on November 15, Netflix has apparently contacted her to see if she wants to participate in a documentary. It seems to be about the topic “OnlyFans”: Alinity publishes non-child friendly content on this website.

Just the idea that she could appear in a globally broadcast Netflix documentary seems to completely thrill the streamer. She can’t contain her excitement:

They contacted me to make a Netflix documentary. And I’m pretty freaking out. It’s huge, right? It’s huge!

Thank God, the grandparents will never find out

So what is the problem? The problem with the endeavor is that everyone will then know how Alinity makes her money on OnlyFans, namely with sexualized content. The 34-year-old doesn’t seem to fully agree with that.

She says: She is already afraid of the whole thing. She knows that it would be a huge boost in notoriety, but she is also struggling with herself.

Am I afraid? Yes… but screw it. They want to show some of my content. Hmm, okay… I’m scared, I’m nervous and excited. So if this happens, it will be really huge.

Then Alinity thinks out loud about who actually finds out exactly how she earns her money on OnlyFans:

Well, my immediate family knows… my parents know, my brothers, my sisters. But my extended family doesn’t really know. So I’m a bit nervous. I probably need to talk to my mom to hear what she thinks about it. I don’t know. […] No, my grandparents are all dead. Thank God! No, I don’t mean it that way. I mean: Thank God they will never find out.

She explains then in detail that she doesn’t thank God for the fact that her grandparents are already dead, but thanks God that they will never have to find out what their granddaughter is doing online.

As she thinks about it more closely, she also realizes that the “parents of her classmates from high school” will find out how she makes her money. It seems that the whole option of becoming world-famous through Netflix doesn’t seem that appealing anymore.

The streamer Amouranth also makes a lot of money with sexualized content on OnlyFans. She once explained how her parents feel about it:

Stray: People complain that a cat game could win 6 Game Awards – Developers post unbeatable GIF in response

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In July 2022, the adventure game Stray was released for PS4, PS5, and PC. Critics were delighted by the unusual indie game in which you control a cat through a cyberpunk world: Stray received ratings that summed up to 82% on Metacritic. The game has now even been nominated in 6 categories for ‘The Game Awards’ in December. But not everyone is pleased with that.

For which categories is Stray nominated? Stray is indeed nominated for the most important award at the Game Awards, for ‘Game of the Year.’ This puts it in line with titles like A Plague Tale: Requiem, God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, or Elden Ring, which everyone expects to win.

Stray is also nominated for Best Action Adventure and would have to get past God of War Ragnarök or Horizon Forbidden West.

In Art Design and ‘Best Game Direction,’ Stray again faces off against the giants in gaming, such as Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West, and God of War.

The greatest chances for an award for Stray are probably in ‘Best Indie Debut,’ where it competes with games like Vampire Survivors or Neon White. It is also nominated for ‘Best Indie Game,’ where it would have to get past Sifu and ‘Cult of the Lamb.’

Overall, Stray is nominated for 6 awards, which will be presented on December 9th at 1:30 AM German time.

“If Stray wins, I’ll lose all hope”

Who has something against it? Although Stray is liked by many, there were also individual voices on the web criticizing Stray being nominated for the Game Awards. One Twitter user wrote: ‘If Stray wins, I’ll completely lose all my hopes for the industry.’

The developers of Stray, Annapurna Interactive, reacted with an unbeatable GIF.

A cat licking its own behind is apparently meant to imply how little they care about this criticism.

Under the tweet, there are some voices saying: Of course, they would have voted for Stray; they loved the game and its uniqueness.

But even among Stray fans, many agree that while Stray was good, it wasn’t ‘Game of the Year’ good, as even cat lovers tend to prefer Elden Ring.

For a Game of the Year, Stray lacks replayability, but that’s probably the least of the cat’s concerns. Because it has enough to deal with itself and its self-care:

The modder of ARK is so good that his maps have been officially taken over – Shows how ARK could look in UE5

Dariusz MĂĽller Dariusz MĂĽller Reading time 2 minutes

The German modder Nekatus has shown images on Twitter that he created using UE5. The ARK fans are excited, and he himself believes that ARK 2 could look even better.

Who is the modder? Nils Menne alias Nekatus is a well-known creator of mods for ARK: Survival Evolved. Just in June, the map he created, Fjördur, was officially added to the game.

Fjördur is not the first map by the talented modder that has been officially integrated into the game. Already in 2019, Studio Wildcard incorporated a map created by Nekatus called Valguero into the survival hit.

Currently, Nekatus is working on a new map named Svartalfheim, which is completely without flying creatures. Good news for MeinMMO author Dariusz MĂĽller, as he believes that ARK is becoming too easy with flying creatures.

What kind of photos did Nekatus share? Nekatus shared some images on Twitter that he created with the Unreal Engine 5 – the same engine that ARK 2 is based on. He used an asset pack in the engine to recreate the famous Redwood forests from ARK: Survival Evolved.

We are embedding the post on Twitter where Nekatus shared the UE5 images:

He replied that the most recent trailer for ARK 2 was recorded in-game and that the finished game could look even better than his images ( via Twitter).

What else does ARK 2 offer besides new graphics? While Nekatus creates stunningly beautiful images in Unreal Engine 5 and piques the curiosity of ARK fans for ARK 2, the highly anticipated survival title is expected to offer much more than just beautiful graphics.

In June, we learned through the Steam page of ARK 2 that the game is set to receive a ton of new gameplay elements. These include new building options, natural behavior of the game world, and cross-platform modding.

Additional highlights of the new gameplay are expected to include a soulslike melee combat system as well as free climbing and parkour. You can find an overview of the information shared on Steam in June about ARK 2 on MeinMMO.

WoW: Players complain that they cannot use the skills of the Evoker – The solution is quite simple

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Phase 2 of Pre-Patch 10.0 for WoW: Dragonflight is active, allowing you to play the Evokers of the Dracthyr. However, some players are encountering bugs with the new class: they are simply unable to use abilities. The issue lies not with Blizzard, but with the installation and can be easily fixed.

What is the problem? Since November 16, the Dracthyr have been playable, along with numerous other features from Dragonflight – including new zones and dungeons. However, if you play an Evoker, your spells may not work.

The respective icons may be grayed out and cannot be clicked, as if WoW is simply not responding to your inputs. Complaints are coming in from various players, but they can be easily resolved.

Do you still need help with your Evoker? On MeinMMO, you will find our extensive Evoker guide with builds for DPS and healing and our tips for the perfect dragon name.

This is the solution: The problem is related to addons. Addons affect many things in World of Warcraft, mostly interface functions. As a result, certain addons may block your skills.

If you don’t want to completely give them up, update all your addons, disable each one individually, and check if the error reoccurs. For updating, we recommend the WoWUp addon manager. If you want to be sure, simply disable all addons. The Discord has also found a solution for ElvUI users (via reddit):

  • execute the following command: “/console ActionButtonUseKeyDown 1” (without quotes)
  • then execute the command “/console empowerTapControls 1” (also without quotes)
  • activate the “Key Down” function in ElvUI
  • The “press and release” function is currently not working

You can find the best addons for World of Warcraft with us, but an update to Dragonflight is still pending – partly due to the related issues.

If you are wondering what we are actually doing on the Dragon Isles, there is a new cinematic to explain (Spoiler Alert!):

Start video
WoW Cinematic: The Unleashed Storm

ElvUI and old addons block skills in WoW

The problem has actually been known for years, as a new patch usually means changes to World of Warcraft itself. Therefore, addons often need to be updated.

This usually happens well in advance, as addon authors test their projects on the PTR and adjust them. However, with Dragonflight, there is a complete overhaul of the interface, which is why certain addons simply do not work at all or only work to a limited extent. At least not yet.

von Benedict Grothaus

Additionally, there are again talents for all classes, which in turn have an impact on certain macros and can also limit the functionality of addons. If you want to use corresponding addons, you may have to wait a while longer for them to be updated – if that is even possible this time.

For the moment, it is definitely safer to refrain from using addons if you do not want to face issues like missing spells. Maybe you will even get used to it and completely clean out your addon folder:
