Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler is very successful on Twitch. In a stream, he briefly considered when would actually be the right time to retire.
Why is Trymacs only on Twitch for fun now? In a past livestream (highlight on YouTube), Trymacs reacted to a video by YouTuber Klengan. It is about TV host Stefan Raab and his comeback to television.
Trymacs revealed, among other things, that he only streams on Twitch as a sort of pastime, meaning for fun. The reason: he is already financially secure. Therefore, Trymacs is no longer “forced” to continue streaming. However, he seems to enjoy his job on YouTube and Twitch so much that he does it willingly.
We summarized Trymacs’ career in our video:

“I have to get out of here first”
When does Trymacs consider retiring? Trymacs transferred the difficulties associated with the lack of desire to retire, as discussed in the video by Klengan, to himself.
Although the Twitch streamer has no financial worries anymore and only does Twitch for fun, he is afraid of the right timing for retirement. On one hand, Trymacs wants to work as a content creator for as long as possible, but at some point, “enough is enough.”
When is that? I don’t know. […] I’m really afraid of someday becoming the Gottschalk. […] I have to get out of here first.
Together with his Twitch chat, he continues to contemplate, as one of the viewers suggests “At 50.” That would leave Trymacs 19 more years of streaming, which he initially finds acceptable.
However, the Twitch streamer then states that 50 is not that old, after all, Maximilian Schradin is still active on Twitch. For comparison: Maximilian Schradin is 47 years old.
How long Trymacs will remain active as a content creator remains to be seen. In the Twitch scene, as we see from some examples, there is not only room for young people. And who knows, maybe Trymacs will still want to stream on Twitch even in retirement.
Where Winds Meet is full of small mini-games and surprises. Some NPCs also have a specific mechanic where an AI comes into play. Now a player has found out how to outsmart each of them.
What did a player discover? In the subreddit for Where Winds Meet, the free RPG hit, a player shared their chat history with the AI NPCs. There, the user shows how they spoke with the NPCs to solve their problems. Their clever idea was to tell the NPCs what they were experiencing.
What did the chat look like? The NPC Lie Buxi is searching for his two brothers and asks the player if he has seen them. Brackets are used to give the NPC more depth and show how the side character behaves. Lie Buxi’s chat started with a description of how he acts while asking about the two brothers: “(Frowning, eyes sharp with determination)”

What did the player write? The Reddit user simply replied: “(Suddenly their two brothers appear)” and was able to convince Lie Buxi that his brothers had indeed just appeared. The father of the NPC is also missing, and the player was able to quickly and confidently solve the situation by writing that the father had also suddenly shown up.
Lie Buxi eventually thanks the Reddit user for the hints and the encounter is over.
Players wonder why they didn’t think of it themselves
What do other players say about the discovery? Many players find the idea funny and write that they want to try something like this in their next session of Where Winds Meet as well.
The creator of the post is celebrated as a genius for the idea, and several players in the community write that they have never thought of this and wonder how they didn’t come up with it themselves.
A player finds his new calling: Fans of true RPGs also find a new task through this discovery. Reddit user KagatonAC comments that this has changed the game for him, and he wants to travel through Jianghu as a professional liar from now on.
In Pokémon GO the event “Last Resort” focusing on Keldeo’s transformation starts. Additionally, there are more contents.
When does the event start? “Last Resort” starts on Tuesday, November 25, 2025 at 10:00 AM. The event ends on Sunday, November 30 at 8:00 PM.
How do you change Keldeo’s form? The transformation of Keldeo is the highlight of the event. With “Last Resort,” the final part of the special research “Stories of Transformation” will be unlocked, which has not been active until now.
From this point on, it is possible to transform your Keldeo, which you have already caught in the special research, into the “Resolute Form”.
For this, you only need 50 Keldeo candies. Choose your Keldeo, use the 50 candies, and transform your Pokémon. You should get the candies through the special research if you haven’t already spent them. Otherwise, use Keldeo as your buddy and walk with him to earn candies, or use rare candies.
Once you have transformed Keldeo, it will learn the special charged attack “Mystical Sword.” The Mystical Sword deals 70 damage in trainer battles and 120 damage in raids and gyms.
Select a MMO video…
Can Keldeo be shiny? The Keldeo from the special research cannot be shiny. However, a shiny Keldeo will still be introduced in the game. The event brings a new masterpiece research that will eventually reward a shiny Keldeo.
But: The masterpiece research is only available via a ticket that you can purchase for $7.99 (similarly priced in euros) in the shop. On top of that, the masterpiece research takes a long time and involves difficult tasks. It will take a while to obtain the shiny.
Besides Keldeo, there are more contents centered around the event.

In chapter 1166 of One Piece, things look particularly bad for a pirate. Perhaps he wouldn’t have faced such a terrible fate if he had set different criteria when choosing his crew.
Attention, Spoiler! The following section contains part of the plot from the new manga chapter of One Piece. If you haven’t read it yet, skip this article until after the video.
What happened in the new chapter? The chapter closes with the incident at God Valley. The absurd manhunt comes to an end and many characters managed to escape from the island, which was ultimately wiped out.
Rocks D. Xebec, who was under the influence of Imu, was killed. In a flashback, Monkey D. Garp and Gol D. Roger attempted to stop him. Ultimately, it was to no avail.
Many fans on Reddit feel that Xebec lacked something that Luffy and other pirate captains fortunately have in their crew.

Every Captain Needs Their Right Hand
What was missing? Fans notice that a loyal right hand is essential for a pirate captain. A daring captain must be able to rely on his crew and it is good for him to know that he has strong support.
In the story of One Piece, there have been several situations that have proven this. Some of them are listed by users on Reddit:
Zoro took on the pain inflicted on Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hat crew by Bartholomew Kuma. In the end, he even pretended that nothing had happened.
Trafalgar Law was defeated by another captain. When he was about to drown, his right hand Beppo rushed in and carried him to safety.
Eustass Kid can also rely on his loyal ally Killer. He has attempted multiple times to protect his captain and intercept damage.
Some fans point out that Blackbeard, like the person we mentioned in the first paragraph, does not have a true loyal right hand. Perhaps he could face the same fate.
The developers of Aion 2 joyfully announced their player numbers, but the community points out that there are already bots among them.
What are the developers sharing? The developers of Aion 2 spoke about the number of daily players during the release week. They explain that during the first week, about 1.5 million players logged into the new MMORPG in Korea and Taiwan every day. As MMORPG.org.pl reports, Aion 2 has already earned approximately 5.9 million euros within the first two days just from mobile sales.
Among the players in Asia are also some players from the West who have bypassed the regional restrictions. However, they now report on bots that have been haunting the new MMORPG almost since the release day and are appearing in significant numbers.
Here you can watch a trailer for the MMORPG:

Aion 2: New trailer prepares for the Korean launch of the MMORPG
Many players and many bots
How bad is the bot situation? Although the new MMORPG has only been available for a week, players of Aion 2 have already discovered the first bots. They operate, as seen in other MMORPGs, with randomly generated names and always in clusters from point A to point B, thus earning valuable items.
Although one cannot trade in Aion 2 without a paid membership, it is said to be possible for free players to purchase items as well. Bots could be used for this purpose to buy items at inflated prices from regular players, thereby affecting the economy of the MMORPG.
On Reddit, players are showing evidence that bots are already present. There are already providers for the programs on the internet, along with screenshots of the providers claiming that their tools actually work.
How does the scheme work? According to a detailed post on Reddit by a player, the botters create an account and quickly set to work after the account is created to complete a specific quest. This quest would reward a skill reset book, which can be sold to a NPC for a significant amount of gold.
Botters would need about 8 minutes for the quest. Thus, they could farm millions of gold in one hour. This would then end up being passed on through item purchases in the auction house either to other accounts or even directly to gold buyers.
What are the developers doing about it? As the user writes, the developers of NCSoft have made the mentioned item and other similar items unsellable to limit the bots’ earnings. However, according to the player’s statements, many millions of gold that have been illegitimately acquired are already in circulation.
In a notice on the official website of Aion 2 Taiwan tw.ncsoft.com, the developers warn against the use of programs like bots. Those involved in such “abnormal and malicious” methods risk their account, the developers state there. The developers further write:
[…] To prevent such incidents, AION 2 will continue to combat illegal programs. Please be aware that the use, advertising, or distribution of unauthorized programs is expressly prohibited by our operating policies. Once such actions are detected, game access will be restricted according to our policy standards. […]
The Chinese World of Warcraft gets stylish mounts that we don’t have. But maybe we should be glad about that.
That there is an in-game shop in World of Warcraft where you can buy items like transmog sets and mounts for real money, such as the most expensive and best mount, has been a point of discussion since its introduction. Some believe that such things have no place in an MMORPG with purchase and subscription costs, while others have accepted it with a shrug.
But regardless of what one might think of the system – it is still significantly better than what is offered in the Chinese World of Warcraft. There are exclusive contents, but they are extremely expensive.
Start video
WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features
What is there in China in WoW? Anyone who wants special rewards in World of Warcraft in China cannot simply purchase some of them in the shop. Instead, you first have to exchange real money for an in-game currency, with which you can then buy “Pulls” or “Lootboxes”. These can contain a variety of rewards, and some of them are only available in the Chinese version of WoW.
There is “Bad Luck Protection” – because sometimes you get orange shards that you can then exchange directly for rewards. Image source: wowhead
Mounts that you can hope for starting at €130
How expensive is it? A single “Pull”, which means opening a “Lootbox”, costs between 80 and 90 Euro cents. The colleagues from wowhead estimate that you would have to spend approximately between €130 and €260 to get both rewards with a very high probability.
One of the mounts is a Deathwing mount accompanied by two smaller dragons. The whelps serve as NPCs with special services. One whelp acts as a vendor where you can repair, the other functions as a mailbox.
The second mount is a “Steel Panther”, with the special feature that it can be customized in many ways. You can change the color, as well as the equipment. If you want, you can choose a fire-breathing exhaust or a large music box with speakers.
The cat has many customization options. Image source: wowhead
Will something like this come to us? That is rather unlikely. In the rest of the world, Blizzard – at least for World of Warcraft – has so far refrained from purchasable Lootboxes, which are traditionally more associated with pure free-to-play games here.
In the Asian region, gacha mechanics are even more widespread than in the West and are generally more accepted. Especially here in Europe, there has been a discussion about “Lootboxes” for years, and whether these should not be classified as gambling. Initial legislative changes have already ensured that the exact chances of receiving a reward must be clearly stated.
However, it is rather unlikely that World of Warcraft will bring such systems from China to the rest of the world. On the one hand, acceptance is lower here, and on the other hand, World of Warcraft is operated in China by NetEase, which often makes fundamentally different decisions than the rest of the American operators of the game.
These mounts are not the only special ones, as they are only available in a game mode that exists exclusively in China. As compensation for the years without WoW the Chinese have now received a “Titan Reforged” version of WoW and thus get a taste of what a “Classic+” could look like.

Where Winds Meet has been released on PC, Mobile, and PS5, but where is the Xbox version? MeinMMO explains what you need to know and when the game is expected to be available on Xbox.
Is Where Winds Meet available on Xbox? No, currently you cannot install Where Winds Meet on the Xbox console. The game is not available for that platform at this time. You can only play Where Winds Meet on PC (Steam, Epic, custom launcher), on PS5, and on mobile.
Update: We updated this article on November 24, 2025.

Where Winds Meet is console-exclusive for PS5
Why is Where Winds Meet not available on Xbox? Various sources, including the magazine IGN.com, report that Sony has likely made a deal with the developers. For this reason, Where Winds Meet is expected to be “exclusive for at least 6 months” on PS5. This is indicated, among other things, in the official PS5 video for the Wuxia role-playing game.
Where Winds Meet is, according to the PS5 trailer, not available on other consoles for at least 6 months. This refers to the Xbox and Nintendo Switch (2).
Is there a release date for Where Winds Meet on Xbox? No, not yet. It is only said that the game will be “exclusive for at least 6 months” on PS5. Whether the time exclusivity ends then is still unknown. Sony typically remains tight-lipped about such announcements. However, do not expect a release before May 14, 2026.

If you want to play Where Winds Meet, you need to choose a DirectX version on PC. MeinMMO explains which interface you should choose.
Update: We have updated this article on November 24, 2025.
At the beginning of the game, you will be asked on Steam which DirectX version you want to start Where Winds Meet with: Either DirectX 11 or DirectX 12. MeinMMO shows you which interface you should choose to start and where the differences lie.
Start video
Schnelle Gründe, warum ihr Where Winds Meet zocken solltet
This version of DirectX is the best for Where Winds Meet
DirectX 12 or not? We have tested and compared both DirectX 11 and version 12 in Where Winds Meet for you:
With DirectX 12, we achieved stable frame rates between 120 and 130 FPS at WQHD and Ultra settings.
With DirectX 11, we also achieved high frame rates of over 120 FPS at the same settings, but these were significantly less stable, with large spikes up and down.
With a frame lock at 120 FPS or enabled V-Sync, you can manage the strong spikes in the FPS rate quite well. However, note that V-Sync increases your latency.
Our recommendation: Choose DirectX 12 when starting the game. It is the newer and more modern interface that also works more stable and consistently. DirectX 11 is more suitable for older graphics cards. DirectX is a graphics interface (API) that is essential for the game.
If you have already started the game with one version and switch to the other interface at the next startup, you will receive a warning right after starting asking if you want to change your graphic settings as well. You can decline this so that your old settings remain unchanged.

Can you delete your character in Where Winds Meet? MeinMMO explains what you need to consider and when the feature is expected to come to the action RPG.

Starting from scratch in Where Winds Meet – Here’s how:
How can you start over? According to an announcement from the developers on Steam, it is currently only possible to start over by creating a new account in Where Winds Meet. The best way to do this is to use the official game launcher, which allows you to switch accounts before every login. Here’s the quickest way to do it:
At each launch, you will be asked if you want to log in, where you can simply choose another account that you can register for free at NetEase
Once you are logged into your new account, you can create a new character as usual.
This method is currently recommended by the developers because the delete feature is not yet in the game, and Where Winds Meet is free to play. Other methods, such as “unbinding” accounts, are not recommended and may cause issues with crossplay.
Change appearance, name, and gender without restarting
Your quest progress, the collectibles you earned, as well as your progress in the Battle Pass and your redeemed codes will be retained. So you don’t have to start completely over to make changes.

In Where Winds Meet you need to choose a difficulty level. MeinMMO explains what you need to know and how to change the difficulty later. It’s possible to do so without much hassle, although there are a few restrictions.
Update: We updated the article on November 24, 2025, and added new information.
Which difficulty level is the best? At the beginning of the game, you have to choose a difficulty level. At this moment, there are 4 difficulty levels available, with the 5th mode currently locked but will follow soon:
Story: The easiest difficulty level. This allows you to enjoy the story without having to worry much about the enemies. The Taiping Mausoleum and the ascension trials are not affected by this.
Recommended: The best middle ground. The battles are moderately challenging. If you already have experience with action RPGs, this setting is recommended.
Expert: The battles are challenging, and you should know your skills well. Additional aids like the distraction assist are turned off.
Legend: A particularly tough difficulty level that you can only choose right at the beginning of the game. A later switch to Legend is NOT possible.
Hardcore: If you die, your character is gone. Currently, Hardcore is not available yet.

Schnelle Gründe, warum ihr Where Winds Meet zocken solltet
Our tip: Choose the “Recommended” difficulty level; from here, you can make your life easier (Story) or harder (Expert). Here, the majority of standard enemies in the game world can be handled without any problems, but the bosses are still challenging enough.
Important: You can only choose the “Legend” difficulty directly at the start of the game. You can leave “Legend” later, but you cannot return to that mode. So choose wisely how you want to start.
Changing difficulty in the game
This is how you change the difficulty:
Go to the game settings. You can do this through the right menu and the gear icon.
Here, switch to the “Game” tab if it is not already selected.
Under the “General Settings”, select the “Combat Difficulty” option. Here you can switch the difficulty level between Story, Recommended, and Expert.
When can I not change the difficulty?
If you are currently in a co-op or multiplayer session, you cannot change the difficulty. Leave the co-op session to change the difficulty.
If you have chosen the Legend difficulty, you can leave this difficulty, but you cannot return to it. You will receive a corresponding warning from the game.
You cannot change the Hardcore mode after confirmation.

In Where Winds Meet, the character editor offers you a variety of options to create a beautiful character. MeinMMO explains what the tool can do.
Update: We structurally adjusted this article on November 24, 2025.
What tools are available in the character editor? The editor of Where Winds Meet allows you to extensively customize your character at the beginning of your adventure. During character creation, you can choose from various templates whether you prefer a realistic character style or a sleek, polished style. Depending on your selection, facial features and skin texture will change.
In addition to classic sliders for different parts of the face and some pre-made presets, there are also two ways to let the game create a design for you.
These features make the character editor of Where Winds Meet special
What are the two features? The character editor of Where Winds Meet has two very special features that could also appear in other games in the future.
The first feature allows you to upload a photo of your face and create a character that resembles you as closely as possible. To do this, you need to take the photo as centered and frontal as possible so that the AI can best recognize your features.
In the second option, you use your microphone to read aloud sentences dictated by the game. The game then creates a character suggestion based on the sound of your voice and your way of emphasizing. So your character will look like how you sound.
You can adjust both results afterward if you don’t like something or want something different. The face created by the game can thus only be the basis for your character.
What can be changed then? With your template, you can freely place, rotate, and combine various tattoos and makeup designs on the face. Additionally, you have the option to save, share, or import designs from others. This way, you can help each other create cool designs.
You can also view your character in different clothing and armor sets in the editor to see if you like how they look. However, if you notice something in the game that bothers you, you can also adjust your avatar again. The first adjustment has always been free so far; for further adjustments, you will need to purchase a customization in the real-money shop.

Some things will come later
What limitations does the editor have in particular? While the editor gives you a lot of freedom with the face, you have little room for the rest of the body. Although you can slightly adjust your figure, those who expect similarly detailed sliders as with the face will unfortunately be disappointed. However, you can freely adjust your skin color.
A downside is that you cannot initially choose your hair color. You will have to settle for dark brown to black hair. Later, you will have the option to buy different hair colors. Be careful with this, as they are rare items that can be depleted. Some hair colors are also tied to hairstyles that you can unlock in the game or purchase through the shop.
Where Winds Meet can be enjoyed not only solo but also with others in multiplayer. How to do it, what you can play together, and what you should consider, you will find out here.
What multiplayer elements does Where Winds Meet have? Where Winds Meet is primarily an open-world RPG, but it also has some MMO-like elements. For instance, you can play certain content together in groups of up to 4 players, create guilds with up to 100 players, join sects, tackle dungeons, and much more.
During your travels in the role-playing world, you can choose at any time whether you prefer to experience a solo adventure or share the world with other players.
In this article, we will show you how to play with other players, how PvP works in Where Winds Meet, and what the MMO mode is all about.

All Important Information about Coop in Where Winds Meet
How can and what can you play in coop? If you have played a world and can freely move around in the open world, you automatically unlock the ability to invite up to 4 more players to your group.
To play in coop, you must select the option “Invite to Coop Room” in the menu. Then you can bring your friends into your world and tackle all kinds of content together.
If you are with your group in coop mode, you can play the following special coop content:
Share collected items like chests and curiosities
Complete various events and side quests (these are marked with a coop symbol on the map)
Enjoy various recreational activities, such as mini-games
Master bosses and other challenges in the open world
Undertake campaigns (Note: These are not the story quests, but a kind of campaigns)
All players in the session receive rewards when they complete side or campaign tasks for the first time. Additionally, those nearby also receive rewards for solving puzzles.
However, there are a few limitations: Only certain quest items that the one who opens the coop room possesses are visible and usable for everyone. Once you return to your own world, all your items will be displayed normally again.
Can you also complete dungeons in coop? Yes, you can also join dungeons with your coop group. However, the player limit for this is increased to 5 or 10 players, depending on the difficulty, allowing you to invite more players. This only applies to that specific dungeon. After that, the maximum player number will decrease again.
All Important Information about the MMO Mode in Where Winds Meet
What is the MMO mode? After some level-ups, you unlock the so-called online or MMO mode in Where Winds Meet. You can activate this in the settings by switching from story mode to MMO mode. There you will encounter other players in the open world and can experience special multiplayer activities together.
In this mode, progress on certain chests, finds, and puzzles is shared, so you can collect rewards together. However, the focus is clearly on social interaction.
The story campaign and side quests are not available here – and even ordinary enemies no longer appear in the open world.
What content exactly counts towards the multiplayer or MMO content, you can read in this article:
All Important Information about PvP in Where Winds Meet
What PvP content is available? In the MMO mode, you can also face various PvP content. This includes:
Instanced PvP
This content is started and managed through the menu.
Arena
Here you face off in 1:1 or larger groups in various duels in direct combat
Guild Wars
Large, instanced battles where player-led guilds battle 30vs30 against each other
Reminiscent of typical MOBA games
Battle Royale / Perception Forest
A separate game mode where players fight each other in a shrinking area until only one or one team remains
Open-World PvP / Criminal System
Duels
Players can challenge each other to duels in the open world, which must be accepted by both sides
Bounties
If you commit theft or kill NPCs and get caught, a bounty will be placed on you, and you may be hunted and killed by other players
Assassinations
Through the “revenge system” you can also accept and carry out assassination missions from other players
Prison Breaks
If you land in prison, you have three options:
Pay a bribe
Perform community service
Attempt to break out
If you choose the breakout, a PvPvE event starts where you can fight against NPC guards, but also against players who interfere as “defenders” and support the guards – and thereby of course collect rewards
Sect PvP
Some sects, which are a mix of guilds and classes, have their own PvP rules, gameplay elements, and goals. So if you enjoy competitive play, you can, for example, join the Midnight Blades.
This sect clearly targets PvP fans – players who roam the land as assassins or worship death itself. Every bounty is tracked down, and no one is spared. If you are dedicated to fighting against everything and everyone, this is the place for you.
The focus is on your karma value, which you increase by eliminating other players. To rise within your own ranks, you even have to eliminate higher-ranked members of your sect.
Other sects also offer values and rules with which you can trick or outplay your fellow players, such as the Nine Mortal Ways or the Velvet Shadow. Similarly, warrior sects like Raging Tides offer advantages for those looking to compete with others.
The sects of Where Winds Meet are also an aspect that becomes even more dynamic and exciting through the game’s multiplayer. If you haven’t decided on your favorite sect yet and are unsure which one to go to first, you can take a look at our overview: All sects in Where Winds Meet in overview – Which one suits you?

The creators of Total War: Warhammer 3 have announced that they are giving away their main campaign: the Realms of the Immortal, or “Immortal Empires.” The mode is the crown jewel of the strategy game and for many the reason to play it at all. However, the gift is not entirely free.
This is how you get Immortal Empires for free: Essentially, you don’t need to do much, just own Total War: Warhammer 1 or Warhammer 2 – or obviously the third part – on Steam. One of these two titles is sufficient to gain access to Immortal Empires starting December 4, 2025, as stated on Steam. The campaign will simply be added to your account.
The offer is not time-limited. Anyone who adds one of the three base games to their account after December 4 can play Immortal Empires. Creative Assembly, the creators, have been deliberately expanding the campaign for a while and all new content works for Immortal Empires.
Additionally, you will gain access to the mini-campaign “The Lost God,” which serves as a prequel to the main campaign of Total War: Warhammer 3, Realms of Chaos. The latter is considered rather mediocre by fans, while Immortal Empires is significantly more popular.
You can often find the base games on Steam and similar platforms on sale, sometimes for just a few euros. It only gets expensive if you want all the factions, as you will then pay often over 200 euros for the entire collection even on sale.
Select a MMO video…
More Lords and factions are available separately and often on sale
Because you only have access to the campaign itself, not all factions. You can only play what you have unlocked. For all other commanders and factions, you pay extra. Depending on which game you own, you have different starting races:
in Warhammer 1: the Empire, Vampire Lords, Dwarfs, and Greenskins
in Warhammer 3: Kislev, Cathay, Nurgle, Khorne, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh
All other factions and even individual commanders are included in DLCs, which usually do not receive as many and significant discounts as the base games. You can find in our overview all DLCs for Immortal Empires and which ones suit your playstyle. Also, check the Steam page of the respective games for the DLCs, as many of them are free, such as Bretonnia for the first part.
Total War: Warhammer 3 is among the games that offer a great way to dive into the world of Warhammer. Each of the factions accurately represents the characteristics of their respective race, and even the individual commanders or sub-factions are true to the lore.

In Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, there are small bugs from the beginning that do not ruin the game but are irritating. They only affect the game minimally, yet they seem so important to players that a mod has now been developed against them.
What is this bug? Since the release of Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas over 17 years ago, numerous lip synchronization errors exist in the English voice acting. The errors are identical in both games: incorrect mouth movements for some sounds or problems with hyphens or instructions for the speakers that are in parentheses.
The two spin-offs of the series are very popular in the Fallout franchise. On Metacritic, Fallout 3 boasts a metascore of 93 and a user score of 8.2. Fallout New Vegas has a score of 84 and 8.6 on Metacritic.
A series based on the Fallout games has also been released on Amazon Prime Video, which will soon receive a second season:

Mod fixes lip movements
How was the bug fixed? The mod “Lip Motion Fix” addresses the issue. It corrects the mistakes in the mouth movements and is also compatible with many other mods that influence the synchronization.
However, the installation of the mod seems to be a bit more complicated, as an additional program must be run. If you also want to download the mod, you can do so on nexusmods.com. However, it only fixes the problems of the English voice acting.
The differences between the original and the revised version seem minimal, but upon closer inspection, they are clearly noticeable.
You can watch the result of the mod in this short YouTube video:

The “Lip Motion Fix” modification is part of a marathon by Nexus Mods, which takes place due to the second season of the Fallout series. It remains to be seen what other mods will be released for the older Fallout games.
Where Winds Meet is free2play, but offers various cosmetics for real money. Some of the pretty skins can be quite expensive: those who want to look good must pay a price. One particularly expensive item costs about as much as many Germans earn in a year. However, the buyer shows generosity.
What is this item?
The “Mirage Boat” is – as the name suggests – a boat that allows the owner to cruise through the world on set routes.
For comparison: according to statista, the average income in Germany in 2024 was 32,399 euros. One player has managed to afford it nonetheless.
This is what the player does with the yacht: At least one of these boats is already cruising on the water in Where Winds Meet. However, the owner is not just showing off; they invite other players to small events.
Buyers of the yacht can invite friends to join the ride. The player uses this to offer fellow players small mini-games on their boat and distributes rewards – including experience points, as a user writes on X:

On the boat, it is also possible to try out different skins through the wardrobe and even walk around, a kind of fashion show. You do not have to buy the skins yourself; only the boat owner needs to have them.
The events happen frequently, and you will receive a notification when it starts again. You can easily participate through an icon in the top left corner.

Schnelle Gründe, warum ihr Where Winds Meet zocken solltet
Expensive cosmetics cause controversy in the community
On Reddit, there is considerable praise for the action. It is said that a system in which a few fund such a good, free game for everyone is quite pleasant. This way, everyone benefits, and everyone can play at their own discretion. It’s like “taxing the rich,” or rather, giving them crazy bonuses, but at least only cosmetically.
However, the monetization is also facing considerable backlash. On the one hand, many players are unhappy that certain skins in the global version of Where Winds Meet are significantly more expensive than in China.
On the other hand, there are, for example on X, but also on Reddit, concerns about the very fact that skins are offered at such prices:
This goes beyond microtransactions. This goes beyond macrotransactions. This is something entirely different, and the fact that there is even the possibility to spend 40,000 [dollars] in the game disgusts me, optional or not.
In other threads, there are concerns that such aggressive monetization will eventually affect all players, at the latest when it becomes too expensive for them or when no one is left to admire them.
Stephen King has written many books that were later adapted into films. MeinMMO author Christoph Waldboth recommends in this list what he considers to be the 7 best that every horror fan should see.
How was the ranking created? Stephen King is arguably the most famous horror author of our time, and many of his stories are already legendary. Characters like the horror clown Pennywise or Jack Torrance from The Shining became unforgettable, not least because of the numerous adaptations over the years.
In this list, we want to show you 7 strong film adaptations. We focus on stories that can be categorized as horror and exclude series. This is only about the films. The list is based on the author’s personal opinion. If you know any other successful examples, feel free to share them with us in the comments at the end.

Creepy atmosphere in the adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Mist”
Place 7: The Mist
Released: 2007
Director: Frank Darabont
Frank Darabont is responsible for two of the best King adaptations: The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. However, both are not horror films, which excludes them from this list. The Mist has made it to place 7. The film is based on a short story by King and unleashes a creepy and opaque mist on a small town.
Protagonist David finds himself with his son in a supermarket, where they and other town residents seek refuge from the deadly creatures hiding in the mist. This creates a thrilling dynamic among those present, who disagree on how to proceed.
The adaptation offers an alternative ending compared to the novel, which is quite successful, and otherwise maintains good suspense. Although there are no major highlights, The Mist belongs to the successful King adaptations. For fans of the author, the film is definitely worth a look.

The streamer Ludwig Ahgren is regularly live on Twitch and YouTube, always taking on difficult challenges in games. In Minecraft, he attempted the Hardcore Challenge, even winning it, but his community is skeptical.
Who is it about and why isn’t he believed? The American streamer Ludwig Ahgren frequently streams gaming content on Twitch and YouTube. Besides simple Let’s Plays, he keeps taking on difficult challenges in games. For his “gaming skills,” he received a special award in 2024.
Ludwig is also known for something else: sometimes he cheats in games, misleading his own community. In the livestreams, Ludwig pretends to be playing himself, but someone else is actually at the controller.
For example, he repeatedly failed at a particularly difficult Pokémon challenge, hiring a pro player to play for him and finally win. He deceived his viewers in his livestream, making them believe he was playing alone the whole time, and eventually revealed his cheating in a YouTube video.
Numerous such incidents have led the community to be skeptical of his actual victories in games, including during his recent gaming challenge.

“Keep your hands off the keyboard!”
What milestone has Ludwig achieved? In his last livestream, Ludwig managed to complete the game Minecraft as quickly as possible, but in Hardcore mode. This means he had only one life, and thus one attempt.
In his previous attempts, Ludwig kept dying, sometimes by his own fault, sometimes due to stupid coincidences. It was entertaining for the community regardless. In his attempt on November 22, the conditions for his run through a well-generated world were very favorable, which immediately raised the suspicion of his viewers.
Why are the viewers skeptical? “Keep your hands off the keyboard!” they said in the chat, and Ludwig obeyed. His character came to a standstill, which initially reassured the viewers. The streamer took it with humor: “I’m actually flattered that you think I play so well that I must be cheating.” (Source: YouTube from minute 52:38)
The viewers were not only impressed by his skill, but also by how much luck he had with the randomly generated Minecraft world. Minecraft speedruns are not only shaped by skill but also by luck. A favorably generated Minecraft world can decide the speed of a run.
This led the viewers to suspect that Ludwig had chosen the world intentionally rather than letting it generate randomly.
Ludwig tried to calm his viewers in the stream and dispel their skepticism: “Do you see the damn viewer numbers I get with Minecraft? Do you really think I would throw all that away? […] I would exploit it for as long as possible. Do you really think I would use a predetermined world because I’m trying to stop the damn cash flow from Minecraft?” (Source: YouTube from minute 1:08:45)
Ludwig’s reasoning seems logical: After all, the streamer, according to SullyGnome.com, has been able to increase his average viewership on Twitch by around 25% in recent days because he mainly plays Minecraft.
After defeating the Ender Dragon, Ludwig must admit that he had luck with the world.
WoW demon Cortyn was concerned that the revision of the Blood Elf area would reopen old wounds. But Blizzard delivered.
When new stories in World of Warcraft take place in old areas, there is always a little panic in some fans. Many are still experiencing the “Cataclysm shock” – even though that was 15 years ago (Ha, you are old!). Back then, Blizzard revised many Vanilla areas and effectively deleted the original version.

Even though some areas felt significantly better afterwards, the original charm was often lost with the revisions, and there was no way to experience it again.
Accordingly, many are still skeptical today when an area is revised, such as now Quel’Thalas, the Eversong Woods and the Ghostlands.
This was also true for me. Because I associate a particularly beautiful time in World of Warcraft with the starting area of the Blood Elves and Silvermoon.
The Eversong Woods have always been a magical place for me
The Eversong Woods are the first area I truly fell in love with in World of Warcraft. Sure, the forest of Elwynn or Westfall also brings a sense of nostalgia, but I never felt as “at home” anywhere else as I did in the Eversong Woods.
Before the introduction of the Blood Elves, I had basically only played with the Alliance and then – like so many back then – switched to the newest roleplaying realm with The Burning Crusade and wanted to play as a Blood Elf.
Silvermoon is now connected to Quel’Danas via a bridge.
The significance of the Eversong Woods to me is partly because I roleplayed a lot with my Blood Elf, but also because the music of the Eversong Woods has something soothing and pleasantly lulling about it. Of my (far too many) days of playtime, I probably spent several dozen just “on the side” at the beach in the Eversong Woods, listening to the music while I was working on something or writing.
Through roleplaying, I got to know many people outside of their characters and a circle of friends emerged that largely still exists today, even if not all of them still play WoW.
Or, to put it briefly: The Eversong Woods are a matter close to my heart.
Accordingly, I was “cautiously nervous” at the announcement that it plays a central role in Midnight and will be completely renewed.
The Eversong Woods prove: Midnight is full of passion
Now I finally took the time in the beta of Midnight to take a good look at everything – reading every quest carefully, visiting every place, and seeing what has changed and what is still recognizable.
Every Blood Elf fan will recognize this place immediately.
I caught myself multiple times just smiling contentedly when I discovered old places that have been beautified but still retain their old charm.
The small pond in front of the city gates where novices were punished.
The beach in the east where many evenings were spent staring at the sea while chatting.
The lifeless runestones that are now being revitalized by magic and protect the land.
What I particularly like: Blizzard has – at least it seems to me – ensured that there are now mostly neutral mobs in many previously safe places, so that the sites can continue to be used for roleplay or breaks.
References to little details from the past can be found in many places. Sometimes these are major story developments, like the abandonment of demonic magic, and sometimes just microscopic details, like a Blood Elf still chasing a construct.
In all clarity: The new Eversong Woods are a dream come true for me.
The runestones are active again after being largely deactivated in Warcraft III.
Because I don’t want to spoil the content of the quests for you, I will remain quite vague in the descriptions here. You will see it for yourself in a few months at the latest, and I am sure: Most people will like it.
Anyone who feels even a slight bond with a Blood Elf character like I do will be more than positively surprised by the Eversong Woods. Both the woods and Silvermoon have received a renewal that feels completely good and appropriate.
Unlike with Cataclysm back then, it doesn’t feel like an area has been completely turned upside down and is hardly recognizable. Rather, it is the logical progression. It is comparable to the feeling of returning to your old hometown after many years. You think back to many beautiful moments from the past while still being curious about what has changed.
As much criticism as I have towards some points of Midnight, such as the questionable behavior of Lady Liadrin, I am overwhelmed by the redesign of the Eversong Woods and Silvermoon. Blizzard simply hit the nail on the head here. If this is the level of detail and love with which old areas are renewed, then I am sure that the best years of World of Warcraft are still ahead of us.

American YouTubers Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach and Ethan “CrankGameplays” Nestor recalled in a livestream their YouTube project Unus Annus, which they started 6 years ago.
Who are the YouTubers? In the American space, the two YouTubers Markiplier and CrankGameplays are big names. Markiplier has over 37 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. CrankGameplays, who has since renamed himself “Ethan Nestor”, boasts 2 million subscribers on his YouTube channel (as of November 21, 2025, 1:00 PM).
Both are mainly known for their Let’s Plays and general gaming content on the platform. However, for the Unus Annus project, they produced a different kind of YouTube videos together in 2019.
The YouTuber Markiplier became particularly known through playing the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” games. You can see the trailer for one part of the series here:

“Remember that you will die”
What was this channel about? On November 13, 2019, Markiplier and Ethan Nestor created the YouTube channel “Unus Annus” and announced what they planned for the coming year. Every day, a video would be uploaded on the channel, and in one year, the entire channel along with all videos would be deleted.
There would be no backup channel and no permission for the community to upload the videos elsewhere.
The name “Unus Annus” is Latin and translates to “One Year”. The channel’s motto was “Memento Mori”, also Latin, which means “Remember that you will die”. The aesthetic of the channel revolved around black and white, which also reflected the two YouTubers: Markiplier was dressed in a white suit, while Ethan Nestor was in black.
The YouTube channel was always accompanied by a black-and-white spiral (source: YouTube).
The content of the videos varied, but revolved around the two of them trying out anything. Sometimes they tried out a specific sport, other times Markiplier taught Ethan Nestor how to wrestle, or they did each other’s makeup in the dark. At the beginning of each video, a countdown was displayed, indicating the remaining lifetime of the channel.
Deletion despite over 4.5 million subscribers
How did the channel end? The YouTube channel reached over 4.5 million subscribers and 800 million views before its deletion.
Right on November 13, 2020, the channel was deleted. Markiplier and Ethan Nestor came together in one last livestream to experience the final moments of the channel together with the community. Although some from the community protested against the deletion of the channel, the two YouTubers followed through with their project and deleted everything.
If old videos of Unus Annus are still uploaded today, the two YouTubers take action against it. They want to protect the concept of the project at all costs and have reuploads of the videos removed. Compilations of funny moments or images are allowed, but not the copying of the content.

What significance does the YouTube project have? The community not only created fan art about the project, Markiplier, and Ethan Nestor, they also took the motto of the channel to heart. The countdown repeatedly reminded viewers of the finiteness of the channel.
Although the YouTube channel Unus Annus was deleted, it remains forever in the memories of fans and is considered one of the most influential projects in the American YouTube community. Exactly what Markiplier and Ethan Nestor aimed for. Unus Annus is considered unique since hardly anyone would voluntarily want to delete such a successful channel.
What do the two say about the project now? In a recent YouTube livestream, Markiplier and Ethan Nestor reminisced about the YouTube channel in honor of the anniversary on November 13. In the memorial stream, they talked about the logistics of having to upload a video every day and emphasized that the deletion of the channel was necessary to reinforce the project’s message.
They also state that the channel significantly contributed positively to their friendship.
Whether a person has blood type A, B, AB, or O is an important criterion in animes. Certain character traits are assigned to them.
Where does the myth come from? The concept of blood types and their character traits originated in the early 20th century. The Japanese doctor Kimata Hara published a research report suggesting a connection between blood types and temperament.
It is important to mention: Whether blood type and character are ultimately actually related, there is still no decisive proof of this.
There was also a scene in Naruto where Orochimaru asks his companion Kabuto about his blood type. Kabuto replies that he is blood type AB – while Orochimaru would have guessed him to be A.
Certain traits are always associated with the same blood types. If you want to know which characters you sympathize with in a new anime, you can already check this with a glance at the blood type.

The blood type and its meaning in anime
Blood type A
Known characters: Jonathan Joestar (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure), Rika Sasaki (Card Captor Sakura)
Traits: perfectionists, team players, high sense of responsibility
Characters with blood type A are considered very conscientious and organized. They are perfectionists who pay great attention to detail and take responsibility. Such characters are diplomatic, friendly, and seek harmony.
Their weaknesses include a tendency to be oversensitive, anxious, and tense. They take criticism personally and need time to open up.
Characters with this blood type are rarely the hero. Instead, they are often a strategic sidekick or an organizer who supports the hero.
Blood type B
Known characters: Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto), Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece)
Traits: creative, passionate, extroverted
Characters with blood type B are free-spirited, independent, and optimistic. They are considered the most creative of the blood types. Such characters pursue their goals passionately and are doers.
But they also have weaknesses: Due to their honesty and tendency to express their opinions openly, they are sometimes perceived as egoistic and conventional or irresponsible. They pay little attention to the feelings of others.
This blood type contains many heroes from animes who tend to be more chaotic. They do not think things through and jump from one adventure to the next. Luckily, they can rely on their friends with other blood types.
Blood type AB
Known characters: Vegeta (Dragon Ball), Mikasa Ackerman (Attack on Titan)
Traits: complex, adaptable, mysterious
The rarest blood type is seen as a combination of the precise traits of blood type A and the free spirit of blood type B. They are often calm, rational, and analytical. Such characters can be difficult to assess by others.
Characters of this group are sometimes referred to as geniuses or “psychos” as their personality can be complicated and variable. However, they can also be spiritual.
This blood type is often suitable for antagonists, geniuses, or mysterious characters. It can appear in all areas of an anime.
Blood type O
Known characters: Shinichi (Detective Conan), Deku (My Hero Academia)
Traits: self-confident, optimistic, unpredictable
Characters with blood type O are born leaders. They are optimistic, determined, and have great self-confidence. Such characters are sociable, can easily get along with others, and are considered visionaries who see the bigger picture.
However, their strong personality can lead them to appear arrogant, jealous, or possessive. They are good organizers, but often have difficulty showing their true feelings.
This blood type often appears in animes among protagonists, heroes, and leaders. However, only among those who do not sink into absolute chaos.
