Twitch streamer wants to understand the hype around LoL, announces hard grind without prior knowledge

A Twitch streamer is trying to revive the once biggest titles. After his attempts in Counter-Strike 2 and Rainbow Six: Siege, Apex Legends and League of Legends are to follow.

Who is it about? The 24-year-old Twitch streamer Jynxzi, whose real name is Nicholas Stewart, is a US Twitch streamer known for his loud personality and extreme reactions. When he streams, there is screaming, jumping, and sometimes a chair gets knocked over.

After grinding Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six: Siege for years, he even became number 1 on Twitch. However, in 2025, he turned his back on the Ubisoft shooter and has since switched through various players on a mission to “revive” them.

Even if the games are not done, he wants to get good at each title and understand what it’s really about. Recently, he also realized that Counter-Strike 2 is not just about bombs and hostages, but also about opening crates.

Another streamer is a true pro in League of Legends:

Time for two legendary games

What does he have planned now? The Twitch streamer wants to “revive” Apex Legends and League of Legends next. He himself has hardly played either title. In a clip on X.com, he explains that he has heard Apex Legends is “peak,” but at the same time “just in the dirt.” He seems to have very little knowledge of the shooter.

He is looking forward to seeing what the shooter can do – after all, Jynxzi has already gathered a lot of shooter experience. However, League of Legends is about more than just taking a look.

What does he plan with League of Legends? In the clip, he reveals that he has heard League of Legends has the highest threshold to get good. The skill gap is enormous and he himself is already looking forward to tackling the MOBA in 1-2 months.

I absolutely have to play League of Legends before I die, man. It’s pretty much one of the most popular games of all time. It also looks like one of the most unique games of all time and has potentially one of the biggest performance gaps of all time, which really excites me.

Time and again, he faces challenges during his “revivals” such as duels against established streamers of the respective game or trying to reach a certain rank in the game.

While many in the comments under the clip are bothered by the “reviving” of games that are not even done, it remains to be seen how the big streamer performs in League of Legends. His shooter skills will likely not help him here.

Gaining insight into the biggest multiplayer titles in the world and discovering not only the concept of the game but also the aspects that really matter is also exciting for the viewers. Recently, his switch in Counter-Strike 2 escalated: Twitch streamer spends $2,000 in one day in Counter-Strike 2, gets banned, begs the head of Steam for forgiveness

Warhammer 40,000 receives a giant starter box, pitting two of its most brutal factions against each other

During Adepticon 2026, Games Workshop presented upcoming releases for Warhammer 40,000. The highlight: the 11th Edition of the Tabletop including a new box with two armies. The focus shifts to one of the most dangerous planets of the Imperium with a now legendary war.

Adepticon is one of the largest events of the year when it comes to presenting new content for Warhammer 40,000. It’s not only about new figures – which many simply display on their shelves – but also about new rulebooks, animations, and more.

In 2026, Games Workshop announced the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. There will be a new set, the “Armageddon Box,” set to be released in June. Specific contents have not yet been revealed, only which armies you can find inside: Orks and Blood Angels. Only two new models are already known, Intercessors of the Blood Angels and Boyz of the Orks.

Armageddon is, however, not just a term in Warhammer 40,000, but a planet of the Imperium, which has been fought over for years and has been a site of some of the greatest wars in history. The two armies from the box fit perfectly into this setting.

Start video
The trailer for the 11th edition of Warhammer 40,000 featuring Blood Angels and Orks on Armageddon

A species that exists only to wage war

If you don’t know them yet: Orks are the most warlike race in Warhammer 40,000. The Greenskins are literally born for war, if one can speak of a “birth” when it comes to fungi.

Only when they fight do Orks thrive, and they are constantly looking for a new conflict. If they can’t find opponents, they fight each other, perhaps the only reason they haven’t yet conquered the galaxy. They also have a remarkable resistance to Chaos.

Orks need battles to exist. In peace, they perish. The more enemies they defeat, the bigger they become, and yes, literally here as well. The largest Orks rise to Waaaghboss, rally more Orks around them, and lead… well, even larger wars.

In galactic terms, Orks are one of the strongest factions in Warhammer 40,000.

Space Marines, in whom uncontrolled rage slumbers

Their opponents in the new box are the Blood Angels, who are among the strongest chapters of Space Marines in Warhammer 40,000. They are not only known as excellent fighters but above all for one thing: their brutality.

Like all Astartes, the Blood Angels Space Marines inherit traits from their Primarch, in this case, Sanguinius. Sanguinius was regarded as the most charismatic and beautiful Primarch, but he had a flaw that should have made him an outcast in the Imperium.

The “Red Thirst” is a kind of berserker state that drives the fighter into such a rage that he charges into the enemies without any regard, causing a massacre. If the Blood Angel fails to free himself from this wrath, he can enter the permanent state of “Black Rage,” which is considered irreversible.

That these two factions meet on Armageddon is highly fitting, as the planet already has a long history of bloody and brutal wars.

Armageddon is the site of some of the worst wars of the Imperium

Originally built as a macroworld meant to house several huge “Hive Cities” with billions of people, Armageddon has now become a single war zone where people still live.

The first war was devastating: Chaos cultists infiltrated the planet and were only repelled with the help of the Grey Knights. Since the existence of the Grey Knights is secret, all inhabitants of the planet were sterilized and forced into labor, some even killed outright by the Inquisition. Armageddon was resettled. This did not last long:

  • Shortly after, the Orks arrived, who could only be defeated because Commissar Yarrick managed to contain the Waaaghboss and his troops in a city.
  • In the third war, after the return of the Waaaghboss, Armageddon became a sort of holy site for the Orks, where they could always find fights and glorious deaths.
  • Finally, after the opening of the Great Rift, the fallen Primarch Angron and his Khorne followers also got involved.

Now Armageddon will be the setting for the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 with new rules, including for the Steel Legion, the steadfast defenders of the planet. The planet itself is very similar to the world regarded as the Apocalypse itself: On a planet in Warhammer 40,000, Fallout has become reality, and now some of the toughest people of the Imperium live there

Crimson Desert Tier List: All Weapons in the Ranking

In Crimson Desert Kliff, Damiane, and Oongka have access to eleven weapon types. Additionally, there is unarmed combat. In our tier list, we reveal how strong the different options are.

How do the weapon types in Crimson Desert differ? For a strong build, it is most important in Crimson Desert to equip the right Abyss gear in the fitting equipment. You can find a lot of basic information in this guide: Build a strong build for Crimson Desert – With our tips you will dominate hordes of enemies and bosses

A factor in choosing the weapon is certainly the number of possible sockets for Abyss equipment. But which weapon to choose if two options can hold the same number of Abyss orbs? Then factors like base damage, range, attack speed, or a weapon’s ability to break strong opponents come into play.

Many tips for starting in Crimson Desert can be found on our YouTube channel of MeinMMO – check it out!

In the following ranking, we reveal how the different weapon types from Crimson Desert perform. We categorize the types into the following tier levels:

  • S-Tier: The best choice for any situation, hardly any weaknesses
  • A-Tier: Strong alternative to S-Tier, but more weaknesses
  • B-Tier: Great option for certain situations
  • C-Tier: Weaker than alternatives in all situations and therefore not worth recommending

Tier List of Weapons in Crimson Desert

Note that all 3 playable characters can combine two one-handed weapons for dual-wielding. While they do not hold a protective shield, they can chain even more attacks together.

Special Case: Unarmed Combat

Tier LevelWeapon TypeStrengthsWeaknessesConclusion
S Greatsword– Good range
– High damage, reliably breaks bosses
– Comparatively fast for a two-handed weapon
– Strong against single opponents and enemy groups
– Timing is important to optimize your combosThe best weapon for any situation
SPistol– Easily integrated into combat
– Useful dodge effect
– Strong at short and medium distance

The best ranged weapon for fighting many opponents
BBattle Axe– High single-target damage, reliably breaks bosses’ posture on hits
– Strong combos for area attacks
– Slower than two-handed swords
– Vulnerable to counterattacks during slow animations

More damage than two-handed swords, but still slower and less suitable for beginners.
BGreat Hammer – High control over individual and many enemies
– Provides some breathing room in emergencies
– Slower than axes, but less damage
– Almost useless against very agile targets

The damage of a hammer is too low to serve as a main weapon, but it’s suitable as a supplement to other weapon types, especially when control is needed.
BMusket– Higher damage than the bow on a target
– High range

– Too slow reload time for many situations

Muskets are good for an initial strike from a distance or when enemies are not focused on you (mass battles).
CMace– Can reliably break strong opponents
– Weaker in all other categories than swords, axes, or hammers

Maces are currently not a good choice.

It may seem like a meme, but unarmed combat is indeed a strong option for Kliff. Firstly, you can disrupt opponents hiding behind a large shield with your throws. This is often much easier than breaking through them with several powerful swings of a two-handed weapon.

Attacks with hands and feet also ignore physical barriers, and there are several maneuvers to control opponents and dominate the battlefield – such as throwing an enemy against another or taking a rival hostage, causing everyone else to halt.

With the power strike, you can even reliably disrupt bosses and initiate strong weapon combos. In short: it’s worth learning unarmed talents and trying out the maneuvers with Kliff in combat. What are your experiences so far? What weapon do you prefer? Let us know in the comments! Here it is about a very special weapon: Player from Crimson Desert turns beehive into weapon, destroys bosses in a single blow

WoW: Pro forgets the one rule that always leads to defeat in the raid

In World of Warcraft one can fail at the World First Race – in a funny way. Method 1: Forgetting to pay the WoW subscription.

Professional raiders in World of Warcraft have it pretty tough. The bosses on mythic difficulty are usually so complex and demanding that you have to pay attention to many things at once, and a single mistake can already mean certain death. But you not only have to dodge effects, play your class correctly, and follow the raid leader’s instructions, but you also have to avoid another fatal mistake: Not paying the subscription costs.

This just happened to a pro from Liquid, who suddenly gets kicked out of the fight.

Start video
WoW Midnight: Arator’s Light and the Firebrand

What happened? Like all major professional guilds, Team Liquid is currently fighting through the Void Pinnacle – the current raid of World of Warcraft for the World First Race. During the fight against the Lightblinded Vanguard, there was an amusing incident with the player Firedup. His stream was used to analyze the raid – when the stream suddenly froze and he found himself back at the login screen, with the message that his WoW subscription had just expired at that moment.

The reaction of his team colleagues was accordingly pronounced, as you can see here:

No subscription, because you pay with gold anyway

Is this staged? The suspicion of many viewers in the WoW subreddit is: This was intentional. After all, this is an incident that has repeated several times in the past, where players suddenly have their subscription time run out. It is easy to assume that this is intentional to gain attention. After all, professional players would have to keep a subscription active at all times.

But that is often not the case. Many of the professional players are literally swimming in gold and do not pay their subscription with euros or US dollars, but with the WoW Token – which has to be bought and redeemed anew every month. Additionally, most pros own multiple accounts and sometimes simply lose track of which of the accounts still runs for how long.

By the way, Firedup had already bought the WoW Token in advance – he had just forgotten to redeem it in time and probably overlooked that in the heat of the “World First” race.
Another problem in the race for the World First kills is cheaters and exploiters. Because once again, a notorious guild has struck and secured one of the coveted victories – with green and blue gear, which is mathematically impossible.

Microsoft has finally realized that no one wants AI in Windows, announces improvements

Many users are dissatisfied with the state of Windows. Now Microsoft has responded and is announcing improvements. They aim to reduce the AI tool Copilot, among other things.

What exactly did Microsoft explain? In his post, Pavan Davuluri, Senior Vice President for Windows at Microsoft, stated that they have listened to user feedback and want to take it seriously.

This particularly applies to the chatbot “Copilot”. Therefore, they intend to remove the “Copilot” link from certain tools. He writes in the official Windows blog:

You will notice that we are more focused on how and where Copilot integrates into Windows, concentrating on features that are truly useful and well thought out. In this context, we are reducing unnecessary Copilot accesses, starting with apps like the Snipping Tool, Photos, Widgets, and Notepad.

However, there will be other improvements: an improved taskbar, fewer interruptions from Windows updates, and enhanced performance under Windows 11. The mentioned improvements are expected to arrive throughout the year (2026).

Users criticize strong focus on AI, weak performance, and lots of ads in Windows

Why are users dissatisfied? Microsoft’s current approach is souring many users: The endeavor to integrate the AI chatbot “Copilot” into every conceivable area of its widely used Windows operating system is not well received by users.

Microsoft is already being referred to by many critics as “Microslop”: A portmanteau of Microsoft and the word Slop, which is used to describe inferior AI content.

This dissatisfaction is becoming a problem for Microsoft. Because aside from Windows, many viable options are currently vying for users’ attention: Be they open-source systems like Linux or Apple’s new MacBook Neo, which is particularly affordable and is intended to attract new users.

Many users are looking for “just” a simple device and want to finally leave Microsoft’s aggressive AI policies behind.

Microsoft is reflecting on a difficult year with many layoffs. CEO Satya Nadella can still look forward to a financial windfall that is significantly larger than the previous year: The head of Microsoft laid off more than 15,000 employees in 2025, and is happy about almost 20 million dollars more in salary

Crimson Desert: Expand and Optimize Your Warehouse – How to Generate Resources Almost by Itself

In Crimson Desert you will get your own camp during the main story. How to expand it and how to gather resources almost automatically, you will learn here in the guide at MeinMMO.

In chapter 3, you will receive a piece of land from the Margrave during the main quest to establish your camp for the gray manes. What starts off as minimal can be significantly expanded throughout the game.

Why is it worth having a camp? It’s worthwhile to quickly focus on expanding the camp because the larger your camp gets, the more gray manes will come as mercenaries for missions and provide various facilities like different equipment and food vendors for all kinds of situations and features of the game.

Especially handy is the storage chest you find there where you can store unneeded resources and equipment parts to save space in your inventory. Very late in the game, you can even expand your camp into a fortress – but this takes many hours and progress in the story before you can reach that.

So here you will learn how to expand your camp as quickly and efficiently as possible and how to get the most benefit from it.

[toc]

Start video
Here you will find the legendary horse “Rokade” in Crimson Desert

Expand camp and gather gray manes

To expand your camp, you need to do various things:

  • Locate gray manes in the open world and bring them back
    • Here you will receive rumors from your companions that will lead you to them
  • Complete their quests when they appear in the camp
    • This will unlock their facilities, such as the blacksmith, the cook, etc.
  • Complete missions to expand the camp
    • For this, you need to send your existing mercenaries with the necessary resources and advance the camp’s expansion. By completing the tasks, you will create space for more gray manes and institutions

Unfortunately, the game does not always indicate what you need to do next. If you ever find yourself at a loss, you can find the necessary tasks in your journal under the faction quests named ‘Reasons of the Dawn’. Check back there regularly to see if you need to complete anything and what needs to be done for it.

The quests are usually quick to complete, allowing you to work through them efficiently one after the other. If tasks add new facilities to your camp, you will recognize that in the journal by a small tent symbol (as seen in the screenshot marked with the quest).

Use missions effectively and farm resources passively

For some tasks, you need to send gray manes to missions and require the necessary resources for that. It’s best to do this by going to NPC Ross and selecting the mission management.

Here you have to look for the mission needed for the next step and complete it. However, to start it, you also need the necessary resources. You can either obtain them by donating unnecessary items from your inventory to Carl or, alternatively, acquire them through other missions, which is much more effective.

For this, select the appropriate missions and send the most suitable gray manes. Completing a mission takes some time – if you don’t want to wait, you can actively skip time in a bed.

Perfect missions for endless resources

Collecting the necessary resources can become tedious over time. Fortunately, there is a mission combination that allows you to collect resources continuously while you are not actively playing. For this, you need to do the following:

  • Send 2 watch missions (marked with a shield)
    • This will continuously earn money for the camp
  • At least 1 mission for:
    • Wood
    • Food
    • Stone
    • Armor

Ensure to send gray manes that fit the mission as precisely as possible to take advantage of the maximum bonuses. This way, you won’t run out of resources, and you create an endless loop of missions that will generate resources in the long run.

Once missions are completed and you still have the necessary resources left, the expeditions will simply restart until you withdraw your companions or send them elsewhere.

Crimson Desert is a game that doesn’t really hold your hand. Much is explained little or not at all. While this encourages experimentation and problem-solving, it can also quickly lead to frustration.

Player asks an AI for help in Stardew Valley, impressively shows why one should always question the answers

Most people know that artificial intelligence can also make mistakes. A farmer from Stardew Valley had to experience this firsthand.

Who is it about? Reddit user WonderfulScholar6171 wanted to find out how to make rice vinegar in Stardew Valley. It’s not rocket science, as you just need to toss ground rice into the barrel.

But instead of relying on a guide from real people, the user trusted the AI summary from Google and made a grave mistake.

Here you can watch the trailer for Stardew Valley:

Start video
Stardew Valley Trailer

Juice instead of vinegar

What did the AI explain? The AI, which is supposed to prevent clicks on great sites like MeinMMO, promptly provided the user with a recipe for his endeavor. He was told to simply “put one unit of rice or unground unit of rice into a barrel.”.

But anyone who knows Stardew Valley understands that the recipe for vinegar only works with ground rice. Without it, the process yields only rice juice. A real guide would have communicated that to the player; however, the AI led him astray.

How did the process end? As expected, the player skipped the extra step of grinding the rice. He simply tossed his rice into the barrel and got, as expected, rice juice. 136 bottles of rice juice. For the player, a clear sign not to trust everything the AI produces.

Even in the comments on Reddit, the user hears that one should not trust artificial intelligence, or else one wastes all resources:

  • DustyDeadpan: “Honestly, unground rice should make vinegar, so that ground rice can make sake.”.
  • SamTheHexagon: “Yes, if you want accurate information, you shouldn’t trust the ‘best guess’ machine.”.
  • Own-Preference-607: “And that’s why we don’t listen to AI, especially when the wiki is right there and 100x more informative and truly accurate.”.
  • Yuebingg: “AI is usually terrible at video game advice, I find.”.

For users, it’s clear: at best, the recipe doesn’t work at all; at worst, the AI is lying and you lose your progress.

Stardew Valley is still one of the most popular games on Steam and is a true evergreen. It’s even more interesting that there are still puzzles that no one has ever solved. A developer says: Developer of Stardew Valley doesn’t believe you’ll ever discover a secret.

D&D fan receives a bittersweet inheritance, loses his grandfather-in-law, but inherits his old treasures

A player of Dungeons & Dragons was surprised by the inheritance from a deceased family member, which he did not expect at all. While he is happy about the Tabletop treasures, he does deeply regret one thing.

What kind of treasures are these? The D&D fan and Reddit user Revolutionary-Toe-58 presents to the community the special treasures he inherited from his wife’s grandfather, that is, his father-in-law.

This collection includes a series of rulebooks for Dungeons & Dragons, including Advanced D&D and Star Frontiers, old dice sets, modular dungeon maps, packed miniatures, and a still sealed collectible card set from 1991. Not visible in the pictures, but also part of the inherited collection, are over 1,000 hand-painted miniatures from the years between 1979 and 1991.

Here you can see the treasure chest full of heirlooms:

“He is greatly missed – but this is the coolest collection one can receive as a gift,” the poster writes, “Yes, I’m showing off, but I just had to post something to show how awesome my wife’s grandfather was!”

The community of Dungeons & Dragons seems at least as impressed as the fan himself. However, alongside the death of a beloved family member, another realization dims the joy of this find.

A realization that unfortunately comes too late

What makes the situation even sadder? In response to a question from the Reddit user amccaffe1, asking if the poster ever played D&D with his father-in-law, he must regrettably admit that he had no idea that he was a D&D fan while he was alive.

“I had absolutely no idea he was interested in it,” he writes in response, “That makes it all so sad.”

Still, the D&D treasures remain a worthy keepsake that can and should be valued highly.

How does the community react to the actual content of the treasure? The old books and accessories make the Dungeons & Dragons community absolutely nostalgic on Reddit. Some of them got into the game with these rulebooks, while others are simply impressed by what kind of value the inheritance might hold.

Star Frontiers is highlighted by various players, as it is considered one of their favorite Sci–Fi games by some, while others especially love the alien species that the game offered. But the other rulebooks also evoke childhood memories for many players, just like with Sorry_Analysis8628: 

“I used to have the old D&D box sets when I was about 11 to 12 years old, so I recognize a lot of the stuff. There’s a lot of nostalgia in these pictures for me.”

In response to Survove1014’s comment that the poster has really inherited valuable pieces, he replies that the inherited items are more than “just books and dice”, but a big part of his childhood and young adulthood. To this day, these treasures hold much more significance than their actual monetary value. 

This is also acknowledged by AjayRedonkulus: “Sounds like the stuff ended up with the right person.”

It can happen time and again that old D&D treasures are passed on to younger generations, just like in the case of another D&D player. In her case, however, she was lucky enough to receive her grandmother’s old items as a personal gift. The community must first explain to her how special the gesture actually is, as not everyone from the 80s approached D&D as casually as she did: A grandmother finds her old figures and books of Dungeons & Dragons and gifts them to her granddaughter, who makes the community envious

For NoWay, the new season in LoL is really “cool”, still wants to quit his challenge because the game is not fair

NoWay is once again taking on a challenge in League of Legends. This time, he’s about to give up because the game is no longer fair, even though the season is really “cool”.

What challenge is NoWay taking on? NoWay wants to step out of his comfort zone and play a new role up to the highest rank. As a jungler, he is currently trying to make it to the top, if it weren’t for the significant LP problem in the high ranks.

LP are league points that are gained from a win or lost from a defeat. With enough LP, you eventually rank up.

What is the problem? In a new YouTube video, NoWay talks about his current jungle challenge. He is on the verge of quitting if it doesn’t get better for him.

The biggest problem is the LP inflation in his rank range. NoWay provides an example and shows the LP gain from his jungler Agurin from the time with NNO, the German “retirement team”. According to NoWay, so-called legacy accounts, which have been playing for longer, currently gain more LP. New accounts, like NoWay’s for the challenge, get less LP.

What makes it even more unfair is the fact that there is little LP loss for Agurin when he loses, while NoWay loses more. The numbers for both players look like this:

  • Agurin: 30 LP for a win and -10 for a loss.
  • NoWay: 21 LP for a win and -19 LP for a loss.

NoWay further states about the current LP inflation: “The system is unfair for new players.”

NoWay finds the season really “cool”, but matchmaking is a problem

What does NoWay say about the season and matchmaking? According to NoWay, the new season is simply really “cool”. He cites the current balancing of many champions and items as the reason. However, there is another problem in high elo, which is the area where the really good players are playing.

According to NoWay, this is also the first season that is unplayable for him due to matchmaking. One reason is a new rule that allows high-elo players to play as a duo team. This was not possible before and can only be played solo.

He again provides an example where Agurin, as a rank 10 player, plays with a rank 5 player and wins many rounds. With the high LP gain from the win, the upper limit of LP shoots up.

What would be the solution to the problem? NoWay believes there should be an LP reset. He fears that the LP gap within the high ranks could become too large. According to him, players would need to gain around 2,800 LP to climb from one of the lowest ranks up to Master.

NoWay also says that if high-elo players keep climbing at this pace, LP could go as high as 6,000, meaning Master players would effectively have to climb the entire ranked ladder a second time. These numbers are only examples used by NoWay.

Meanwhile, while high-elo players like Agurin continue to climb higher and higher on the ranked ladder, the first major tournament of 2026 has come to an end. There, one of the worst champions in LoL dominated the pros. One player explains why he is so strong: One of the worst champions in LoL dominates the first major tournament 2026 for the pros

The last episode of the best anime completely broke me

The 3rd season of Oshi no Ko is complete. The finale was extended and features some of the best moments ever in Anime.

I am not telling you anything new when I say how much I enjoyed Oshi no Ko in the past weeks. Each new episode was a highlight of the week for me, and among them was even the best anime episode I have ever seen.

But now, with Season 3 Episode 11, the finale of the current season, I have been completely thrown off. The execution is a masterpiece and will likely be regarded for years as a model of how to build an emotional series to its climax, giving characters the necessary space and not rushing.

Spoiler alert: This is about the finale of Season 3 of Oshi no Ko, so S3E11. There will be many spoilers.

Oshi no Ko – the trailer for the 3rd season of the dark revenge anime

By the end of season 3, Ruby and Aqua recognize each other

By the end of Season 3, the two main characters of Oshi no Ko are all in position to fuel the drama: Aqua has severed ties with everything he was once attached to. He has ended his relationship with Akane in a dramatic and irretrievable way and has developed a plan to avenge his mother Ai’s killer. A movie is supposed to be made about Ai’s life and death, and that is supposed to – in an as-yet-unclear manner – lure the murderer into a trap.

At the same time, Ruby is completely overwhelmed. Her daily schedule is meticulously planned. She has to jump between school, TV series, idol performances, and preparing for her movie shoot, threatening to break under this task.

Oshi no Ko Ruby Breakdown
Ruby is on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Above all, the script of the movie weighs heavily on her and reminds her of her time in the hospital, before her rebirth, as Sarina: She always had the hope that her mother would love her. However, her mother visited her in the hospital less and less and didn’t even come when it was clear that she would die.

A moment that builds up over nearly 20 minutes (and 3 seasons, if we’re being honest) and then culminates in Ruby’s nervous breakdown:

Aqua realizes that Ruby is the rebirth of Sarina, whom he accompanied to her death many years ago as a doctor. He reveals to Ruby who he really is and emphasizes how much Sarina means to him and how much he wishes for Sarina to fulfill her second life and be happy, and not just exist for revenge.

Oshi no Ko Ruby Are You Sensei
Ruby finally recognizes who Aqua really is.

Ruby then breaks down in tears and tells Aqua how much she has suffered in recent months and how she has increasingly distanced herself from who she is or wanted to be – someone like her mother Ai, who attracts everyone’s attention and shines brightly.

Aqua then tells her that she no longer has to imitate Ai – because in his time as a doctor, he saw that Sarina, with her passion and joy, even in the state of a terminal illness, shone brighter than Ai ever could.

I’m saying it like it is: This scene got to me. I sat there crying in front of the screen last night and had to pause the episode to fully comprehend what an absolutely perfect execution of a highly dramatic scene I was witnessing. A moment that has been built up over 3 seasons, and then they even take their time, giving the last episode an extended runtime.

Oshi no Ko Sarina Death
At the moment of Sarina’s death, her parents were not there – only her doctor.

The second half – a leap once more into the heart

Just when you think you have recovered from this scene, the story suddenly takes a completely different turn. Because now that Ruby knows who Aqua really is, some memories begin to resurface in her mind:

During her time in the hospital, Aqua had jokingly, as one does sometimes with children, agreed to marry her when she turns 16. Something he probably said at the time just to give dying Sarina a bit of strength and let her look forward to the future.

But what Aqua lightly said as a doctor was engraved in Sarina’s mind, beyond her death. She remembers this promise and realizes: In her current body, she is 16. The supposed promise could come true.

Oshi no Ko Sensei Sixteen
Where this journey is headed, one might not want to know just yet …

The fact that they are now sister and brother in their new lives does not seem to bother them at all – she only sees the doctor in Aqua.

My thoughts on this were somewhere between “Uh, spicy” and “Oh, heaven, please no”.

Ruby’s behavior towards Aqua then changes. She becomes much more clingy, seeking more physical contact. It’s so noticeable that even Kana and Mem take notice – but they brush it off as Ruby just being under pressure and needing some emotional anchor, like her brother.

Oshi no Ko Pics for Insta
Especially Kana is extremely jealous of how clingy Ruby suddenly is with Aqua.

Then the episode shifts again. Now the focus is on Miyako, Aqua and Ruby’s foster mother. She reunites with her husband, who left her hanging over a decade ago. During this, we finally get to see her backstory – as a young woman with a lot of charisma, she came to Tokyo and literally slept her way to the top in the industry.

She seduced men and describes her career path even like a video game. The men she wrapped around her finger were “monsters she had to defeat” and elegant clothing or beauty surgeries were “level-ups to conquer even greater enemies”.

Until the point where, in her early 20s, she was already considered “too old” and suddenly at the mercy of men who might still accept her as a mistress.

It’s all so cynical, bitter, yet understandable, that it hurts.

An episode that lingers long after

The whole episode is a feast. A cinematic masterpiece. One that is currently being recognized. Because if you look at the rating platform IMdB, the episode currently has a rating of 9.8 / 10 stars. All the comments below go in the direction of “Absolute Cinema” and I can only agree.

Everything comes together perfectly here. The animations, the voice acting, the soundtrack, every little detail is simply perfect.

Oshi no Ko Imdb S3E11
The rating on IMDb is unbelievably good – an episode that has excited almost everyone.

After that, I even took the time to watch some reactions from streamers to the episode – seeing how everyone unanimously breaks down in tears, empathizes, and then rejoices was immensely satisfying and worth every sleepless night.

Oshi no Ko is a gem. An anime that we probably won’t see again in this form anytime soon. If you haven’t seen it yet, the current season is streaming on Crunchyroll. But of course, you should start with Season 1.

At the beginning of the third season, I was worried that Oshi no Ko might drag on, but that concern did not come to fruition. The character developments in this season are absolutely fantastic, and the last episode offers a finale that other anime series can only dream of.

Even though I’m sure the IMDb rating of 9.8 will decrease in the coming days because there are always a few trolls who simply click “1 star” – for me, Oshi no Ko delivered the best, most emotional finale there has ever been in an anime.
I will now take a look at some old classics to ground myself again. Because I really need that. And then I am eagerly waiting for Season 4.

Sanji from One Piece is known for constantly hitting on women – on Netflix it is quite different, but for good reason

The Netflix series based on One Piece is supposed to keep the original essence of the manga. However, with the main character Sanji, it becomes clear that he has lost one of his most distinctive traits.

Which trait was lost? Sanji’s enthusiasm for women is one of his most well-known character traits in the manga. The author uses this trait for exaggerated comedic moments:

  • Whenever he sees an attractive woman, his eyes pop out of his head and turn into huge hearts. His body seems to lose its structure and becomes wavy. He then dances around the woman.
  • In particularly dramatic cases, he even experiences nosebleeds. On Fish-Man Island, there were instances where Sanji was in life-threatening situations and urgently needed a blood transfusion.
  • Sanji especially pampers the women of the Straw Hat crew and even gives them nicknames. 

That is even evident in battle: Sanji refuses to fight against women. This has often put him in dangerous situations, for instance, in Wano Kuni, when he fell into the clutches of Black Maria and had to be rescued by Nico Robin.

This trait is not visible at all in the live-action series. It would be easy to animate the heart-shaped eyes and nosebleeds using CGI. However, actor Taz Skylar has clearly spoken against it.

One Piece: Netflix shows new trailer for season 2 with Nico Robin

Sanji loses important traits due to his past

Why was this changed? When changes are made compared to the manga, these decisions usually come from the showrunners and writers Steve Maeda and Matt Owens. In the end, the creator of the universe, Eiichiro Oda, must give his approval. He is even consulted for small appearances of characters that actually appear later in the manga.

The actor playing Sanji also appreciates this decision:

Well, I think in our live-action adaptation, Sanji is as he is, and his relationship with women is much less – I would say, much less romanticized and much more focused on care. My reasoning for this has always been that I think it makes absolute sense because women were the only people who were good to him when he was growing up. 

In his past, Sanji was despised by all men. Only his sister and mother would be the two people who gave him love, according to Skylar. They would have cared for him and supported him, so it makes perfect sense that he would try his best to give the same kind of support back to every woman.

The actor playing Sanji gives his all for his role to portray the original as faithfully as possible in the series. As Sanji is the ship’s cook, Skylar has even taken cooking lessons to improve his culinary skills: Actor from One Piece shows his cooking skills, fans amazed: “He has truly become Real-Life Sanji”

AI company offers farming family 22.5 million euros for their land, they decline, have good reasons for it

A company wants to pay a family 26 million dollars to build a data center on their land. However, they reject the offer.

The title image is a symbolic image.

An unspecified AI company wanted to offer a farming family in Kentucky 26 million US dollars for part of their farmland. This is approximately 22.5 million euros (as of March 26, 2026). Specifically, it is about 1,200 acres. An acre is an Anglo-American unit of area and is slightly smaller than a hectare commonly used here.

However, the family rejected the offer: Money means nothing to them, as they have lived here for years and are responsible for food supply with their land. Nevertheless, the data center will likely be built near their property.

Family rejects million-dollar offer, wants to continue living on their land

The daughter of the 82-year-old owner explained that they do not want to part with the land: On one hand, her family feels strongly connected to the land. Moreover, they have nourished the land with agriculture for years. She told the Local12 editorial team:

Stay, hold, and feed a nation. 26 million dollars mean nothing.

My grandfather and great-grandfather and a whole bunch of family members have all lived here for years, paid taxes for it, and fed a nation. They even grew wheat during the Great Depression and maintained the bread distributions in the United States of America when people had nothing else.

In addition, the family does not want to believe the AI company. Although the company told them that the project would bring new jobs and economic growth to the region, the 82-year-old owner herself explained that she considers that lies:

I say they are liars, and the truth is not in them. That is my opinion. It’s a scam.

What happens now with the company’s plans? The data center will likely still be built. Although not on the family’s land, but in the direct vicinity of the property. The unnamed company has reportedly revised its plans and is now utilizing properties from owners who were willing to sell.

After all, some have probably sold at high prices. Indeed, the purchase prices are said to have been ten times the original value.

More than 2,000 computers were sold for 100 euros on eBay. The devices were rather discovered by chance, as the storage space was about to collapse. Behind the devices lies Canadian tech history, which has now come to light again: A man hid 2,200 computers in a barn for 23 years, then he sold the devices on eBay for 100 euros

Crimson Desert: Quickly expand inventory – Here’s how

In Crimson Desert, your inventory is an important part of exploring the world. If you want to loot a lot, you inevitably need bigger bags, but how can you quickly expand them? We will show you!

How do I quickly expand my inventory? There are two options to quickly increase your inventory:

  • You buy small bags from merchants for copper
  • You complete certain quests for NPCs

The first option is more accessible: Many merchants in Pywel offer small bags for 50 copper. These increase your inventory by 1 additional slot. They are not expensive and thus a safe source to gradually expand your inventory.

Start video
Crimson Desert: How to unlock the fast travel point in your camp

The second option can be more challenging depending on the quest accepted. Complete quests from NPCs to receive medium-sized bags as rewards – these increase your inventory by 3 slots. You can check your quests accepted at the bulletin board on the map and see what loot they hold for you.

This way, you immediately know which quests are suitable for expanding your inventory and which ones you should ignore for now.

Since each quest takes a different amount of time, obtaining such a reward can be somewhat more strenuous. Don’t forget to chat with the respective NPC if you want to complete their quests – the bulletin board only provides all the info but does not activate your mission.

Are there large bags as well? Yes, you can also unlock large bags, but these are tied to main quests that you can unlock in the respective chapters. They expand your inventory by 5 points, providing the largest possible upgrade for your inventory. However, if you want to effectively expand your bag size, you should only track large bags on the side and focus on side quests or merchants.

These were all the important tips on how to quickly increase your inventory. Besides that, your combat skills are also essential in Pywel. A good build is therefore a must, as Pywel is not a peaceful place to live. Therefore, we will show you the best build here: Crimson Desert: Best Build – With our tips, you dominate hordes of enemies and bosses

In Pokémon GO you should catch every Chansey you see next week

Pokémon GO has announced a new hatching event. This brings you an interesting bonus.

The Easter holidays are approaching, and for many, that means: The search for eggs is on! And Pokémon GO is also addressing this theme.

From Thursday, April 2nd, at 10:00 AM, the game will be under the motto A Unique Adventure until April 6th at 8:00 PM.

Three Pokémon are in the spotlight: Chansey, Scoppel, and Owee. And especially Chansey, you should catch as many as possible.

Start video

Why Chansey is Worth It at the Event

First of all, Chansey, Owee, and Scoppel will have an increased shiny chance during the event. This gives you a good opportunity to catch shiny Pokémon for your collection.

Especially Chansey is interesting because during this week it can carry a lucky egg. You usually have to buy these in the shop or earn them through tasks.

Accordingly, you should catch every Chansey you see – because the item is worth it. Besides, Chansey with its evolution Blissey is still a great defender in gyms!

What does the lucky egg do? A lucky egg doubles all XP you earn for half an hour. This can be wonderfully combined with already existing XP bonuses in certain events. For example, if an event grants you quadruple XP, with a lucky egg, you’ll receive eight times the XP.

On the way to level 80, XP is always useful. And here it seems we have a really good opportunity to collect more lucky eggs for the inventory bag.

What else is happening in Pokémon GO? Not only the Chansey event, but the rest of April is also approaching quickly. There are plenty of dates coming up that you can play to catch exciting Pokémon or take advantage of bonuses. To always keep track of what’s going on, we have an overview for you here: All Events in April 2026 in Pokémon GO.

If you spend too much money on Steam, you might get a ban from Valve

Valve probably doesn’t want you to use Steam as a bank and stash your money there – at least you’ll get a lock if you overdo it.

What is the lock about? Valve restricts how much money each user can add to their Steam balance per day. If you exceed this limit, Valve will lock the function for you to add new money to your balance.

For US customers, this limit is $2,000. In other currencies, the limit is supposed to be at a value that roughly corresponds to $2,000. (via Steam).

If you want to buy games worth €3,000 on Steam in one day with Steam credit, this limit will get in your way in between.

Can you bypass the limit? No, probably not, as the situation of Twitch streamer Jynxzi shows. The content creator had Steam gift cards sent to him but then received a 3-day marketplace restriction. Instead of being unable to add money until the end of the day, he could then not be active on the Steam marketplace for 3 days.

Steam warns you, however, if there is a risk of a marketplace restriction due to the acceptance of a gift card.

Furthermore, Steam prohibits selling items like skins in Counter-Strike 2 on the community market if the seller’s Steam balance together with the sale price of the item would exceed $2,000.

If you have spent thousands of euros on Steam, you shouldn’t hope that you can easily pass on the account to your loved ones in the event of death: A user actually inquired at Steam and received a disappointing answer: A user asks Valve if he can inherit his many games on Steam – They respond

Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past – All information on release, plot, cast, and more

Peter Jackson has announced a new movie in the universe of The Lord of the Rings. It is meant to shed light on a chapter that was left out of his legendary trilogy. You will find all information about the movie in this article.

What kind of movie is it? Shadows of the Past is part of the The Lord of the Rings franchise and will be part of the adaptations by Peter Jackson.

Chronologically, it takes place after the events of The Lord of the Rings, but according to current information, it refers to chapters from “The Fellowship of the Ring”, which is the first book.

Peter Jackson announced the new project on the X account of Warner Bros. and revealed first details.

Is there a trailer for The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past? Since the announcement is still very fresh and filming has probably not yet begun, there is currently no footage of the movie. However, since Peter Jackson, the director of the original trilogy, is on board, the film should at least visually align closely with the originals:

Start video
Epic Trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship

The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past – Release and Story

When is the release of The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past? Currently, there is unfortunately no official date yet. The other ongoing project, The Hunt for Gollum, will however be released on December 16, 2027, and will chronologically debut in theaters first.

With The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past, you shouldn’t expect anything before 2028.

What is known about the story of The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past? Officially, the story is described as follows:

Fourteen years after Frodo’s death, Sam, Merry and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure once again. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter Elanor has discovered a long-hidden secret and is determined to find out why the War of the Ring was nearly lost even before it had begun.

The story thus takes place after the events of The Return of the King. As Peter Jackson revealed in a short video during the announcement, it also concerns some chapters of the first book, “The Fellowship of the Ring”.

Specifically, the events from chapters 3-8 should be highlighted, as they were largely omitted in the original trilogy. There, the hobbits set out and meet among others Tom Bombadil in the Old Forest.

It could therefore be that the remaining hobbits revisit the sites of their past journey 14 years after Frodo’s death and that possible flashbacks show what happened back then and was not seen in theaters.

The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past – Cast and Crew

Who is starring in The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past? Currently, nothing is known about the film’s cast. It will be interesting to see whether the beloved actors of Sam (Sean Astin), Merry (Dominic Monaghan), and Pippin (Billy Boyd) will return for Shadows of the Past.

They could play the aged hobbits while younger actors may be seen in flashbacks. The use of CGI is also not to be ruled out to digitally de-age the original actors.

Who is behind the film? As mentioned, Peter Jackson is the leading figure in this project. He is joined by an unexpected collaborator: the American late-night host Stephen Colbert (Late Show)

According to his own statements, he had the idea for the film because he sorely missed chapters 3-8 in the films. He suggested to Jackson to make it its own project, which was well received.

Also involved in the screenplay is Phillippa Boyens, who, together with Peter Jackson, wrote the scripts for the original trilogy. And Stephen Colbert’s son, Peter Colbert, is also a screenwriter and likely part of the project.

Until we receive more concrete information about the film, it will probably take a while. What do you think about the announcement? Are you excited for another film about the events from Middle-earth? Especially interesting. Shadows of the Past could shed light on a mysterious character that was absent in the trilogy: A character in The Lord of the Rings is so powerful and could have changed everything, but he is missing in the films

Die Macher von Rust wollen New World immer noch kaufen, Ex-Entwickler von Amazon erklärt, was dafür nötig ist

The end of New World is set to take place in January 2027. However, players’ hopes lie on a sale. What it needs for that and how the chances look is explained by a former developer.

Who should buy New World? Before dealing with the details behind a continued operation of New World, one first needs to find a buyer. For Amazon will shut down the MMORPG as scheduled on January 31st and will no longer operate it themselves.

Currently, the studio Facepunch is being considered as a potential buyer of the once so successful MMORPG. The developers commented after the announced end of New World on x.com, stating that they are generally interested in the project.

Through Rust, they also have sufficient experience with online titles to realistically implement such a project. Just on March 24th, the employee @ErrnieGerrn stated on x.com again that they would like to buy New World.

Previously, there were also discussions with Amazon Games, during which both sides signed a confidentiality agreement. Therefore, no details regarding the rescue can be expected until the conclusion of the possible negotiations.

Here you can learn more about the end of New World:

Amazon wollte Big Player für Games sein – Das Ende von New World vervollständigt eine traurige Geschichte des Scheiterns

Former developer explains what New World needs

Who is it about? The former lead world designer of New World, David McKenzie, participated in a “Ask me anything” format on Reddit in early March 2026. There, he answered many of the burning questions of the community.

One question that arose was about the chances of New World being bought. However, the former developer didn’t see things as rosy:

I hope for the best, because New World was the most exciting project I have ever worked on. I would love to be involved again.

A sale of New World would also mean having to bring back most of the developers who worked on it, but I suspect that chance has already passed. I have my doubts whether New World will be bought by another developer, as the engine of New World requires very specific expertise.

David McKenzie

While he himself would return if New World is sold, not all developers would likely do so. However, without their knowledge, it would likely be difficult to operate the game.

What was going on behind the scenes at New World? According to the former developer, a complete overhaul of the MMORPG was conducted with the console port and Aeternum, which players hardly noticed.

One reason for the poor reception of the big Aeternum update is also Throne and Liberty. Amazon Games released both games only with a short time in between and allowed the two MMORPGs to compete for hype, to New World’s detriment.

However, the developer states that there were still many ideas behind the scenes. The three biggest themes that New World should have reached were public wars, gardening, and sailing. All themes that players would have liked to see in the MMORPG.

Whether New World will be saved and if we will see a comeback of the MMORPG is uncertain. For the developers of Rust, purchasing it would be an extremely large undertaking, while the former developers have likely already found a new home. At least there is a new update for the players: Amazon’s MMORPG is technically already finished, but today there is still an important update

Pokémon GO increases the Shiny chance for one of the best attackers for 6 hours

Pokémon GO has announced a new event where you can get a strong attacker. However, you need to be diligent and hurry.

What kind of event is this? In Pokémon GO, the next hatching day has been announced. It will take place on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. You only have 6 hours to take advantage of the event.

As is usual for hatching days, the short event revolves around hatching eggs. In line with this, there are not only some good bonuses but also a monster that is quite interesting.

Start video
Pokémon GO Fest 2026 comes with Mewtwo and Zeraora

Run, hatch, collect

Which monster is available at the event? In this edition of the event, Riolu is in the spotlight. The monster has existed since Generation 4 and is of the Fighting type. It can evolve into Lucario, which also gains the Steel type alongside Fighting.

How do you get the monster? During the hatching day, you will find Riolu in 2 km eggs.

What bonuses are there at the event? The event brings you some bonuses related to hatching:

  • Shiny chance for Riolu is increased
  • increased chance of 2 km eggs from PokéStops
  • halved hatch distance for eggs placed in incubators during the event
  • double amount of candies from eggs
  • double amount of experience points from eggs
  • free, limited-time research where you receive an incubator and 5,000 experience points
  • paid, limited-time research for $1.99 (approximately 2 €), where you receive a star piece and 2 super incubators, with the bonus of only needing 1/4 of the walking distance

How can I prepare for the event? If you want to fully take advantage of the event, you can take some points to prepare. Start saving your incubators and collecting coins now, and try to earn the maximum amount of coins every day to get more incubators for the event.

Hatch as many eggs as possible just before the event. This way, you will have enough capacity to receive event eggs directly at the start from PokéStops. However, you need to be careful not to receive any new eggs during this time.

This means that you should refrain from spinning PokéStops, opening gifts, and talking to Mateo at the end of a route from that point onward.

How strong is Riolu? If you evolve Riolu into Lucario for 50 candies, you will get one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO of the Fighting type in the game. You can also use Lucario as a Steel attacker, but it doesn’t shine as much in that role as it does as a Fighting attacker.

If you already have the necessary mega energy to trigger the mega evolution for Lucario, you will even obtain the strongest Fighting attacker in the game. When you can receive the energy again in the game is currently unknown.

Lucario’s strongest moveset consists of the combination of Aura Sphere and Power Up Punch. Since Power Up Punch is an exclusive move, you will need to use a Elite Fast TM to obtain it. If you don’t have one, you can alternatively teach the monster the slightly weaker Fast Attack Counter.

Not only does the hatching day with Riolu take place in April. Already now, content such as events, raids, and Dynamax bosses are known. If you want to get an overview of which content is active in the game and when, feel free to check out our overview with all events in April 2026 in Pokémon GO.

Player from Crimson Desert Turns Beehive into Weapon, Defeats Bosses in One Hit

Crimson Desert rewards your creativity. For example, one player tried out a seemingly weak weapon and defeated bosses with just one hit.

What kind of weapon is this? The beehive club can be obtained as a by-product if you shoot beehives from trees, for example, because you are eager for honeycomb and honey. At first glance, the one-handed weapon seems unimpressive with its 18 attack.

However, the strength of the club is an effect that you learn more about when examining the weapon: “A stick with a beehive on the tip. The bees are asleep inside – if you hit an opponent, they awaken and swarm out. Every successful hit awakens sleeping bees that then attack a random target.”

You can find many tips to start in Crimson Desert on our MeinMMO YouTube channel – check it out!

Sit back, the bees will handle it

How powerful is this effect? DPJ shows this in his video on YouTube. There he confronts his still weak Cliff with the heavily armored boss at the quarry Karin in the north of Hernand City.

In fact, DPJ only hits once with the beehive club. The damage to the boss is low. However, the bees swarm out of the hive and continuously harass the villain, causing it to lose more and more health until it lies defeated on the ground a few seconds later. In the meantime, DPJ just made sure that Cliff didn’t take any hits.

Unfortunately, the weapon also has a disadvantage. It has a durability of 30 and cannot be repaired. Therefore, if you want to use this trick repeatedly, you need to farm multiple beehive clubs.

Where can I farm beehive clubs? DPJ recommends a farming spot in the north of Hernand City in his video. We tried it out and indeed had the weapon in our inventory after just a few minutes.

Here you will find the legendary horse “Rokade” in Crimson Desert

You can find the farming site at the “Three Saints’ Falls”. The nearest fast travel teleport is just west of the quarry Karin. Near the river, you will find a row of trees in whose tops you can find beehives.

If you see a beehive, destroy it with your ranged weapon. This will cause honey, comb, and – with a bit of luck – also beehive clubs to fall to the ground. Once all the trees have been checked, teleport back to the fast travel point and reset the beehives this way. Now you can take another round.

What is not efficient: Dismantling the trees with your offensive skills. While the contents of the beehives will also land on the ground, the trees will not reappear immediately if you try to force the respawn through the fast travel point. Here it’s about another great weapon: Crimson Desert: Powerful weapon right from the start – many of you probably overlooked this katana

Twitch streamer talks about how she almost lost an important job because others created disgusting content about her

The Twitch streamer and YouTuber Jasmin Gnu almost didn’t get a contract because other people are making videos with her.

Who is it about? The Twitch streamer and YouTuber Jasmin Gnu is one of the most successful German content creators. She became known for gaming on her Twitch channel and her main YouTube channel, and she addresses social issues on one of her secondary YouTube channels, Jasmin Gnu.

Recently, she reported in a livestream on Twitch that content is being created about her that she never agreed to. People are making so-called deepfakes in an erotic context of her. This means that the face of the YouTuber is placed on women’s bodies in suggestive videos to imply that Jasmin Gnu is appearing in the video.

In the past, the Twitch streamer and YouTuber has dealt with the topic. She publicly denounced this behavior of people: Twitch streamer Gnu is disgusted by content about her on Reddit – “No boundaries are set”

Now the Twitch streamer shares how this deepfake material almost limited her professionally as well.

I find it absurd that we are still discussing this

What has it led to? According to Jasmin Gnu, this material is now so present on the internet that it affects her work. According to her, it almost led her to lose this job at an event. The event was very important to her.

While researching about Jasmin Gnu, the organizers apparently found so much pornographic deepfake material that they thought the YouTuber was an erotic performer. As a result, they wanted to disinvite her. However, a colleague was eventually able to clarify the misunderstanding and vouch for the influencer.

In a separate short video, Jasmin Gnu elaborates further:

This also shows again that alongside the very, very serious physical, virtual abuse, there can also be such consequences.
