Fortnite now offers loot boxes for kids, but only with mommy’s approval – finds it silly to call it gambling

Karsten Scholz 11. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite developers are set to receive more monetization options for their projects. One point stands out from the newly announced tools as it clearly associates loot boxes with children.

What are these new tools? On fortnite.com, the Fortnite team announced how developers can better monetize their projects in the future, namely through the sale of items for V-Bucks.

It is clearly defined what types of items developers are allowed to sell on their islands. For example, items that can be purchased once and then persist across all gaming sessions in the respective island experience.

However, a passage from the new regulations raises eyebrows. The sale of the following items is also supposed to be allowed:

Paid random items (items that have a chance of receiving a random reward)

There will be a new parental control feature that allows parents to decide whether their child can buy paid random items in regions where they are available to players.

In other words: Fortnite developers can offer loot boxes with random content for sale and even sell them to children if parents give their consent or if they don’t block it via the parental control option.

Not against the law, but morally questionable

Although experts and consumer organizations clearly classify loot boxes or similar systems with random rewards as gambling (Report by the Federation of German Consumer Organizations, recommended podcast on the topic at gamespodcast.de) and these are treated as such in various countries like Belgium, Germany still refuses to do so.

Nonetheless, the problem remains that loot boxes evoke similar reactions in the human brain as gambling, and that the Fortnite developers are clearly aiming to target children (and thereby a highly susceptible audience) with their paid random items.

How are the authorities responding to the criticism? An editor from Insider Gaming had already reported on the changes and had also used the gambling term. On insider-gaming.com, he now reports that Epic Games has contacted the editorial team, requesting them to change what they see as a false representation.

The argument: It is not gambling, but rather paid random items. Additionally, developers must “disclose the actual numerical probabilities of what the player can receive” when monetizing in this manner.

Tech YouTuber shows what 17 years of smoking does to your graphics card: “I don’t even dare to blow it”

jan hartmayer 11. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A PC technician buys second-hand graphics cards for his collection. During their restoration, he encounters dirt from the last 17 years. Besides dust and soot, he comes across another surprise.

Which YouTuber is it about? The tech-focused YouTuber Madness727 bought an ASUS 9800GT Matrix on the second-hand market. While cleaning it, he found soot and smoke deposits from 17 years of use. He explained that the dirt was so bad that he didn’t even dare to blow on it without getting sick. Madness727 himself assumes that the graphics card has been exposed to smoke for 17 years.

Which graphics card is it? The Nvidia graphics card released in September 2008 is no longer suitable for modern systems due to its performance. In comparison, the 9800GT Matrix is outdated today and not suitable for modern games: In games like GTA V, the graphics card barely manages up to 30 FPS in low resolution (via YouTube.com). In comparison, a modern RTX 4080 easily achieves 200 FPS or more. (via YouTube.com)

Furthermore, the lack of driver updates makes them a security risk. Malicious software like viruses continues to evolve and can find gaps in your system through a lack of security updates. What happens to your Windows 10 devices since the official end of support, you can read on MeinMMO.

Soot, smoke, and dust from the last 17 years

What is the condition of the card? On the outside, the card looked dirty, but only when opened did its full condition show. All fans, the entire board (short: PCB), and most capacitors were covered with a thick layer of smoke and soot deposits.

The deposits were so stubborn according to YouTuber Madness727, that even the fan didn’t spin. He had to clean the card thoroughly before he could even test it

How did the technician clean the card? The cleaning started by disassembling the card into its individual parts. After that, it went under the faucet and he used a toothbrush combined with grease-cutting dish soap to remove the years of dirt.

However, he noted that the procedure was not without danger and that with a wrong movement or too much pressure, he could have damaged important parts of the card. How to recognize early whether your graphics card is dying, you can find out on MeinMMO.

Smoking is a curse for both hardware and health

Why is years of smoking a problem? Smoking is unhealthy, and hardly anyone would question that. Less known is that constant smoking near your PC can leave lasting damage.

Burning tobacco produces tar, among other things, which is attracted by the air flow. This dirt can then settle on your hardware. It acts like a dirt magnet for dust, sand, pet hair, and more, which can clog and damage fans, filters, and other components.

Likewise, parts of the components can start to corrode. This means that the affected sections change color and are slowly eaten away by chemical reactions and subsequently break down.

ARC Raiders: Farming Blueprints – How to find plans for the Anvil, Wolfpack, and more

Christos Tsogos 11. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

In ARC Raiders, many players are feverishly searching for new blueprints to expand their workbenches, but nowhere is it explained where to actually get these blueprints. Therefore, I will show you how and where you can focusedly find new blueprints.

Update, March 23, 2026: The article has been checked and is up to date.

What are blueprints? In ARC Raiders, you can find blueprints, also called blueprints, to equip your workbenches with new building options. These range from support items like new grenades to new weapons like the Anvil.

So if you want versatile build options, you will have to start bringing many blueprints to Speranza sooner or later. Unfortunately, the game does not explain how to obtain these blueprints, but there are dedicated locations to spawn them.

For this reason, I have sifted through various sources and spent 50 hours on the surface to show you where you can effectively get blueprints.

Start video

Autoplay

Locations of Blueprints – Here You Can Farm Them

Where can I effectively find blueprints? Simply put, it’s enough to open containers, chests, or lockers and trust your luck. Each of these locations has a small chance of finding blueprints along with materials.

However, if you want to maximize your chances of obtaining blueprints, it’s better to go to maps with the active modifier “Uncovered Secret Supplies.” This spawns various Raider containers on the map that can provide you with a lot of loot. I have also managed to snag many blueprints from them.

These containers always look like bags or weapon boxes marked with a yellow Raider symbol. They are usually hidden at known POIs or are uncovered on the surface in open terrain:

ARC-Raiders-Tasche-Raider — This is what the Raiders’ bags look like

ARC-Raiders-Anvil-Blueprint — This is what the Raiders’ bags look like

Other important places for blueprints are also locked areas in POIs, for which you need keys. Of course, finding the keys is always random, but when you have a key, you have a high chance of receiving a blueprint from them.

Now we know where to farm blueprints, but what about the locations? Are they significant or can I find every blueprint on any map?

Does the map play a role in looting? To some extent, yes. I was able to obtain the Anvil on the relatively easier maps once at the dam and again at the Buried City, but not on the harder maps – other players report the same (Source: youtube.com).

Anyone looking for more technologically advanced weapons and modifications should switch to harder maps. There, I was able to find suppressors and level 2 grips that I could not find at the dam despite farming for hours.

In principle, it can be said: if you check every container long enough, you will eventually get blueprints. What I want to leave you with is that you should really open every container you can see. Many of my finds were in chests and cabinets that I would have ignored because I was too busy hunting other Raiders.

So one can say that finding a blueprint depends a lot on luck, but you can force a spawn if you are persistent enough. Be cautious when you find a blueprint and best place it in your safety bags to avoid losing it if you get killed.

The world of ARC Raiders is dangerous, and newcomers reaching the surface should know how to behave to survive. With our beginner tips, you will be well prepared. You can find all the information here: ARC Raiders: 8 Beginner Tips You Should Know at Release

He is one of the most powerful villains in The Lord of the Rings, but originally Sauron was just a kitten

Christoph Waldboth 11. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Sauron is the great antagonist in the books and movies of The Lord of the Rings. However, in early versions of Middle-earth’s mythology, he appeared in a very different form: as a cat.

Sauron is certainly the most famous villain from Tolkien’s work, although his master Morgoth, once known as Melkor, surpasses him.

Nonetheless, Sauron is a memorable and complex character, who was not always the evil necromancer and warlord. In early versions written by the author J.R.R. Tolkien, the character appears in a very different form and is a cat.

Yes, you read that right. The Lord of Mordor was once a furry kitty, who was later rewritten by Tolkien. The early version in which the cat appears dates back to 1917-1919 and can now be found in “The Book of Lost Tales Part 2”. This volume is part of the series “The History of Middle-earth”, based on texts by Tolkien and published by his son Christopher.

Start video

Epic Trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship

Autoplay

A cat to enslave them …

What kind of cat is that? In the mentioned texts, Sauron is still called Tevildo and bears the title “Lord of Cats”. He is quite large for a cat, pitch black, with red-green, piercing eyes. Around his neck, he wears a golden band that grants him evil power and suspiciously resembles a certain ring that will later become important in Middle-earth.

Tevildo lives in a castle named “Angamandi”, which in later versions of the story became Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the fortress of Sauron. Both share the common trait of serving Melkor, who at that time had a slightly different name and was simply called Melko.

Yet his role is very similar: He rules with great malice, and Tevildo fits right in. The cat is also deeply evil. Even its purring causes enemies to flee. Weaker creatures like small animals are immediately turned to stone.

For these reasons, many beings fear the black cat, and other peoples see it as a clear enemy. Among them, conforming to the cliché, are the dogs. A particularly powerful specimen faced Tevildo several times in battle, and at least in Tolkien’s world, it was clarified which of the two animals comes out on top.

Dog vs. Cat – an old debate

Which dog are we talking about? Huan is a hunting dog and is quite strong. He encounters Tevildo after the latter has taken the human Beren captive. Beren must face a task of the cat and catch three mice. Unfortunately, he fails because he is already weakened, causing Tevildo to become increasingly angry with him.

The cat slowly but surely lets his prisoner languish. It is only when his wife Lúthien becomes very worried that she sets out with the dog Huan to rescue Beren. In a forest, they set a trap for the cat Tevildo: Huan pretends to be seriously injured.

So Tevildo seizes the opportunity: The cat has already lost a fight against Huan before and wants to finish off her arch-enemy once and for all. She seeks out the supposedly weakened dog and is accompanied by loyal cat warriors.

As it must, things unfold: Huan jumps up and in the fight, he manages to defeat Tevildo’s allies. The surviving cat flees up a tree. Huan demands the release of Beren and that Tevildo remove the collar that grants him such great power.

Only with great reluctance does Tevildo agree to this. Huan himself takes the collar and puts it on. In the meantime, Melkor also learns of the defeat of his cat lord and, in his anger, decides to banish Tevildo and all others of his kind. However, the evil in the cats remained.

Crimson Desert: The best settings for the most FPS

Evil tongues would now claim that there is a true core in Tolkien’s version and that cats have always been the slightly meaner pets compared to dogs. It is definitely fascinating how Tevildo slowly became Sauron. In later versions, the cat disappeared and was replaced by a necromancer named Thû, who ruled over the werewolves.

All of this ultimately culminated in the famous figure of Sauron as we know him today. Remaining is primarily the evil character and the eye that suspiciously resembles that of a cat.

Certainly, a large cat is also an interesting antagonist, but in his later form, the dark lord probably caused even more terror in Middle-earth. Even if he was not the most powerful of all: A powerful being from The Lord of the Rings was what Sauron wished to be – It ruled over all of Middle-earth

Player builds gaming PC, desperately struggles with internet problems for a week, only to find the solution has been in a cardboard box all along

Benedikt Schlotmann 11. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A player is desperate at his PC, but the solution to his annoying problem is not far away. For the user simply forgot to mount a part on his PC. And he is probably not the only person who has completely underestimated that part.

A user reports on Reddit that he has built a new gaming PC. However, he has been struggling with Wi-Fi and connectivity issues the whole time. He even considered running an Ethernet cable to his PC to get the problem under control.

How did he solve the problem? The solution turned out to be quite simple. Because the user had apparently forgotten to mount his Wi-Fi antenna on his computer. He himself writes:

I took another look at the motherboard and realized that I simply hadn’t installed the Wi-Fi antenna. I rummaged through the box of unused parts, found the antenna, plugged it in, and the problem was immediately solved.

His tip: one should not forget the antenna during installation. That would save a lot of trouble in the end.

How are the reactions? The reactions to his post, however, are surprisingly positive. Someone explains under his post that he had been struggling with the problem for over a year until he discovered his post on Reddit. He probably wouldn’t have come up with the idea of installing the Wi-Fi antenna on his own. Such Wi-Fi antennas always cause excitement and amusement because many do not understand what the part is for.

Wi-Fi is more flexible, cable connection more stable and with lower latency

Wi-Fi or cable, which is better? For competitive online gaming, streaming, or when maximum stability is desired, an Ethernet connection should always be preferred.

Ethernet connections typically offer lower latency and are therefore better suited for competitive gaming. Wired connections are also significantly less susceptible to interference, disconnections, or speed fluctuations, as they occur with Wi-Fi due to walls, other devices, or sources of interference: Ethernet cables are protected from electromagnetic interference, while Wi-Fi can be negatively affected by other wireless devices.

However, Wi-Fi has one decisive advantage over Ethernet connections: You are significantly more flexible because you don’t need a cable. With a laptop or other mobile devices, you can easily walk around your apartment or have Internet access even where it is not easy to reach with a cable.

In the end, it is a question you have to answer yourself: Do you want stable, interference-free Internet or do you not want to give up the flexibility that Wi-Fi can offer.

A shooter is more eagerly awaited by players on Steam than GTA 6 – Do you feel the same way?

Caroline Fuller 11. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Two long-awaited games are dodging their release, which many players are looking forward to or at least would like to look forward to. But what if there could only be one of the two titles? The community surprisingly agrees. But what do you think?

Which games are being talked about? In a Reddit post in the Steam subreddit, user One-Ad7979 presents the community with a decision. They are to choose – between the long-awaited GTA 6, which is currently scheduled to be released on November 19, 2026, after another delay, and a potential Half-Life 3, which fans have been waiting for over 20 years.

Both games, one of which is set to be released soon and the development of the other (so far) relies only on hints and insider leaks, have been anticipated by many players for a long time.

However, if the community on Reddit can only choose one of the two games, the result is more unanimous than one might initially expect, and the decision is “not even close” (Phoenix_Fire_Au on Reddit).

Here you see the trailer for Half-Life 2, the predecessor of a long-awaited potential third part:

A game that doesn’t yet exist would overshadow GTA 6 for many gamers

What do you think? How do you feel about this decision? If you could only have one of the two games, which one would you choose? We are eager to hear your opinion!

How did the community decide? GTA 6 or Half-Life 3? The overwhelming, almost unanimous decision of the community favors the potential third part of the shooter series from Valve. Who would have thought so?!

Whether this is a general representation of all gamers is hard to say, after all, this discussion takes place in the Steam subreddit. However, this reflects besides a few other mentioned reasons an important point regarding why many players are not interested in GTA 6.

MutatedBready chose Half-Life 3, “because we [PC players] will get it directly at release and don’t have to wait another 5 years for a PC port.” HiddenHamer666 agrees: “My PC would definitely not be able to run GTA 6.”

But the platform is not the only reason for Half-Life fans, other aspects also contribute to the negative sentiment towards GTA 6:

“Half-Life 3, because it’s guaranteed to be 100% good and contains no microtransactions,” writes brianpaulandaya on Reddit.
“I haven’t even played the other Half-Life games, but even I would choose HL3. Rockstar has earned enough with GTA and had plenty of opportunities to tell the stories they wanted to tell. Fans of Half-Life have been demanding a third part and an ending to their story for decades, and they deserve it,” says earthceltic on Reddit.
“Damn, I would just rather go into a post-apocalyptic wasteland full of alien AI than to Florida…” explains Theinternetdumbend on Reddit.

Where Winds Meet will be released on November 14, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Mobile. MeinMMO summarizes for you in 2 minutes what you need to know about the new open-world RPG.

Where Winds Meet is a new free-to-play RPG, coming from the Chinese Everstone Studio and published by NetEase Games. You can expect a very extensive and complex RPG that aims to delight several fan bases:

The story and world take place in 10th century China, but are inspired by the fictional Wuxia genre, which you might know from film classics like Crouching Tiger & Hidden Dragon or Hero.
The open world will consist of two large regions at launch, is vast and offers secrets, puzzles, and content that will keep you busy for 100+ hours.
Your hero fights with his martial arts skills, using superhuman abilities thanks to the Wuxia premise and even flying.
The level progression is multifaceted and allows you to enhance skills and equipment slots yourself. In addition, there are numerous opportunities to visually stand out from other players.
The entire story campaign and numerous quests can be experienced alone or with up to 4 friends, like in a typical single-player or co-op RPG.
Alternatively, you can switch to an optional multiplayer mode where you can encounter numerous other players.

The multiplayer and MMO content of Where Winds Meet is so diverse that we have introduced it to you in a separate article: Where Winds Meet: How much MMORPG is in the new mega-hit from China?

The latest gameplay trailer for Where Winds Meet gives you a good impression of the game:

What makes Where Winds Meet special? Although Where Winds Meet will be available for free download and will be released simultaneously for PC, PS5, and mobile devices, we are dealing with an extremely ambitious AAA project here.

Whether it’s graphics, story presentation, combat choreography, or detail level of the world… in the most important aspects, Where Winds Meet does not have to hide behind full-price titles. Quite the opposite: The game world is enriched with all sorts of ideas and details that do not exist in this form and combination in any other game.

One example of this is right at the start the character editor, which can even incorporate a photo of you and your voice if desired. You can even record dances and immortalize them as emotes in the game. And such peculiarities can be found in almost every area of the game.

Fans of One Punch Man wanted to give the anime one last chance, drawing a bitter conclusion after a big fight

Jasmin Beverungen 11. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Fans of One-Punch Man can surely agree that Season 2 was significantly worse in quality than Season 1. For Season 3, they wanted to give it another chance. However, after just 5 episodes, some viewers want to abandon the anime now.

What is the problem? Some fans had low expectations for Season 2. Because compared to Season 1, it struggled with many quality declines, including the undynamic fight scenes and inconsistent character designs. Nonetheless, One-Punch Man remains one of the most anticipated animes of the current season.

Even the director of Season 3 knew that One-Punch Man would not be as good as Season 1. This lowered the already low expectations even further.

The anime has been airing on Crunchyroll for a few weeks now. So viewers could check if the anime is something for them. However, the latest episode of the series has led some fans to want to abandon the anime now.

However, the episode is not well received by fans. On Reddit, they list several reasons for this:

The fights are said to be so unremarkable that it feels like two grandmas are fighting each other
There are too many still frames and loops in the fights
The sound is not impactful enough
The smoke effects are said to be inappropriate
The animators seem to have forgotten that there is a hole in the wall

This leads many viewers to want to abandon the anime at this point. Some users state that they are disappointed and that the manga is much better than the anime. Therefore, they do not wish to continue watching the anime.

There are also fans for whom the episode is the highlight of Season 3 and who want to continue watching the anime.

Path of Exile 2 still has a chance this year to fix its biggest problems, confirmed timeline for the next major update

Christos Tsogos 11. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Path of Exile 2 faced many issues at the launch of its Early Access, and many of these problems still exist today. Step by step, the studio is addressing them, and even though 2025 is nearing its end, a final major update is expected to surprise players.

What has been announced? In a new post on pathofexile.com, the community team from GGG reports on new plans for Path of Exile 2. The developers had announced that both hack-and-slash games would run simultaneously and provide new content every 4 months. Path of Exile 2 has almost surpassed its next 4 months, and fans are wondering if an update will still come at the end of 2025.

According to the team: Yes. A new update is in the works, and it is set to be released in early December. The developers can hardly wait to show you the new features they have developed. A livestream is also planned, but a date is yet to be announced.

For many, this could be a reason to celebrate, as every major update fixes issues and brings features to the game that fans have long hoped for. “Issues” is a good keyword, as there are a significant number in Path of Exile 2.

Path of Exile 2 still needs to find itself

What problems are bothering the fans? Aside from the fact that Path of Exile 2 is still in Early Access, there are significant issues that have dampened the enjoyment of many fans for some time. Above all, the performance on consoles, which is abysmal. Some players report severe stuttering in packed maps that are responsible for one or another death.

Another problem is the game’s identity crisis. GGG’s plan was to create a tougher and slower Path of Exile, leaning towards Dark Souls. As far as movement is concerned, the developers have surpassed themselves, but the endgame leaves much to be desired.

Few are enthusiastic about the towers that influence the maps, and now, with the change of the way stones since the “Rise of the Abyss” update, the system reminds one of the scarabs from the predecessor.

Many are wondering to what extent Path of Exile 2 will stay true to itself when GGG aligns the latest changes to resemble its predecessor. Path of Exile 1 did many things right, but if part 2 simply adopts older ideas to become better, GGG could have given part 1 a new movement system and a graphic update.

It remains to be seen what the developers have planned for the future. Perhaps fans can look forward to a new class soon, as the druid almost made it into “Rise of the Abyss,” but the studio was not satisfied with its animation. Therefore, it has been postponed.

An action RPG has already attracted 15 million players, now it comes to us and shows what makes it so special

Ody 11. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The action RPG Where Winds Meet has already attracted 15 million players – and that’s just in China. For the global release, the role-playing game shows once again what makes it so special – namely the multitude of activities in the open world.

What kind of game is this? Where Winds Meet is a free action RPG from the Chinese developer Everstone Studio and NetEase Games. The setting of the game is China in the 10th century. Wuxia battles meet an interactive open world that keeps you engaged even away from the slaughter.

In China, Where Winds Meet already released in December 2024, almost a year ago. There, the game attracted 15 million people, while the release in the West is still ahead.

On November 14, 2025, you can also play the action RPG here. The developers are already teasing this with a new gameplay trailer. This shows once again what makes the game so special: the abundance of activities and the interactivity of the game world.

Here you can see the new gameplay trailer for Where Winds Meet:

Start video

Where Winds Meet zeigt im neuen Gameplay-Trailer die Aktivitäten in der Open World und … Hunde, die Mahjong spielen?

Autoplay

From Troublemaker to Dog Playing Mahjong

What does Where Winds Meet offer? In addition to a cinematically staged story campaign and classic MMO content like dungeons and world bosses, Where Winds Meet also offers numerous other activities – many of them in the form of classic mini-games.

Activities in the game world include street fights, a kind of dart game, and the Chinese card game Madiao. The trailer also shows that Where Winds Meet does not always take its activities too seriously:

At one point in the trailer, we control a dog that sits down at a game table and plays Mahjong with other dogs.
Then, our character annoys a goose with a huge bell. Shortly after, in the trailer, it gets its revenge by attacking our character.

Other things happen rather incidentally in the open world. For example, if there is a performance happening in town, you can really sit down and watch it.

In Where Winds Meet, you can also decide whether you want to be a respectable citizen or a troublemaker. You are free to set one field or another on fire or steal from people. However, you must live with the consequence that the guards will want to arrest you for that.

If you expect a genuine MMORPG from Where Winds Meet, you should rethink your expectations. This conclusion comes from our MeinMMO MMORPG expert Karsten Scholz. He has asked the question: How much MMORPG is in the new mega-hit from China?

New patch brings the help that Battlefield 6 desperately needs, fixing the 4 biggest issues all at once

Dariusz Müller 11. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Battlefield 6 has been struggling with various issues for a few weeks, which fans have been eagerly awaiting to be fixed. With Patch 1.1.1.5, it is finally here.

What are these issues? Battlefield 6 has been suffering from a few problems since its release in October that have caused headaches for many players. These include:

Players could stand on the Scout’s drone, hit it with a sledgehammer, and reach places they were not supposed to access.
Guided missiles were not intercepted by countermeasures (flares).
Vehicles did not spawn correctly in Breakthrough and Conquest.
The random dispersion of weapons, referred to as “Bloom” by many Battlefield players, was stronger than intended by the developers.

Now EA has released Update 1.1.1.5, which addresses the problems mentioned above and several other bugs. The update is already available for you to download.

A company rewards top employees with real gold keys worth a small car for their great work

Claudio Niggenkemper 11. November 2025 Reading time < 1 minutes

The Chinese image and camera manufacturer Insta360 is giving away golden keycaps worth up to $45,000 (about 40,000 euros) as a reward to top employees.

What is the company giving away? On this year’s “Programmer’s Day” in China, on October 24, Insta360 awarded a total of 21 golden keycaps (so-called keycaps) to outstanding employees. The most valuable one – a spacebar – weighs 35.02 grams and was recently estimated to be worth around 320,000 Yuan (~40,000 euros).

In total, about 55 of these golden keycaps have been given away over the years (via TomsHardware).

Why is the company giving these gifts? According to company founder Liu Jingkang, the initiative serves not primarily as a financial bonus, but as a symbol. According to South China Morning Post , the founder and vice president of Insta360 believes that every keystroke in the company somehow turns “stone into gold”. Gold, according to him, represents permanence and reliability.

Insta360 also cultivates its own “gold culture”: For example, according to SCMP, there were gold stickers for all employees for the 10th anniversary, gold coins were awarded for marriages or births, and even entire gold bars were given for competitions.

However, large companies like Insta360 do not rely solely on kindness when it comes to such gifts and benefits in the workplace. Various studies show that work behavior is generally enhanced by forms of recognition. Gifts, like in the case of Insta360, are a well-known means of increasing satisfaction and motivation (e.g. via American Economic Review).

Solo players in ARC Raiders work together to solve a puzzle, but a Twitch streamer betrays the whole lobby

Dariusz Müller 11. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer stankRat has shown a clip from one of his streams on social media, in which he backstabbed a large group of friendly players in ARC Raiders.

What kind of streamer is this? stankRat is an English-speaking Twitch streamer who showcases various games on his channel. However, he is primarily known for the extraction shooter Escape from Tarkov (EFT), which he has streamed for over 376 hours in the past three months.

In recent days, stankRat has been playing mainly the new genre competitor to EFT, ARC Raiders. He regularly reaches over 700 viewers simultaneously and entertains his audience with treacherous and devious actions against other players.

Streamer backstabs a group of peaceful Raiders

What did the streamer do? In the clip, the streamer encounters a larger group of players in a solo run. In solo runs, players in ARC Raiders only meet other solo players. This group spontaneously gathered via the in-game voice chat.

Together, the group wanted to play a new event on the “Space Dock” map, for which they need to solve a puzzle. The streamer recognized his chance and ran to the extraction point, which closes last. He called the elevator and placed a bunch of explosive surprises before returning to the group as if nothing had happened.

For minutes, the players attempted to solve the puzzle, before they gave up 6 minutes before the last remaining extraction point closed and decided to leave the lobby. They returned to the elevator together and even took a group photo before its arrival. But then came the streamer’s surprise.

The players entered the elevator and the streamer detonated the placed explosives. He then shot at everyone who survived the explosions, killing the entire group – accompanied by a diabolical laugh.

How is it being received? In various social networks, the streamer’s action receives mixed reactions. Many find it funny, while others are surprised that nobody noticed the many blinking lights in the elevator.

However, some criticize the behavior, claiming that the streamer possibly ruined the fun of the round for those players without interest in loot and damaged the trust that players have in each other.

A nasty character from Stranger Things was saved from certain death because the actor was simply too good

Christoph Waldboth 11. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Stranger Things is soon heading into its final round with Season 5. However, some of the now-popular characters might not have made it this far if it had been up to the first ideas of the creators.

Stranger Things will receive eight new episodes starting November 26, 2025, but the big finale will not be released on Netflix until December 31. Then we will also know which characters definitely make it out of the story and who unfortunately meets their end – the first 5 minutes of the season have already been released.

However, it is a small miracle that two characters are still alive at this point. Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of Stranger Things, have considered killing off certain characters at different points over the last four seasons.

Among them are two fan favorites, whose deaths many viewers would surely regret.

Start video

With Stranger Things Season 5, the popular hit series from Netflix comes to an end

Autoplay

A Difficult Decision

Who narrowly survived? In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, the Duffer brothers reminisced about the last seasons and shared which characters were close to dying.

Among them is the character Steve Harrington, Nancy’s boyfriend, who particularly appears as an antagonist in Season 1 and bullies the kids. It is not until Season 2 that his role becomes larger and more significant, and he behaves much less meanly, acting as an ally in the fight against the evil forces.

Steve was supposed to have met his end in Season 1. The only reason the character was saved? His actor, Joe Kerry, was simply too liked by the Duffer brothers. Therefore, they wanted to keep working with him. Had the actor not been so popular with the two showrunners, they would likely have let Steve die.

The second character whose death was discussed is Hopper. Specifically at the end of Season 3, which looks particularly grim for the character. He seemingly dies in an explosion at a Russian lab but returns in Season 4. The Duffer brothers explain:

There was a version in which he died at the end of Part 3. It’s been a while since we’ve had these discussions, but I feel he was closest to death. It would have been very easy to kill him, but Hopper still had to grow. We hadn’t finished telling his story yet. It’s important to us to conclude the stories we want to tell and not just kill people off for shock value.
Ross Duffer

The latter is also an important point that, according to the brothers, needs to be considered when contemplating killing characters. The series would quickly become very dark, especially with the death of important characters, and the event could overshadow other aspects.

Even with the death of supporting characters like in Season 2, they said they thought a lot about it and had lengthy discussions, the Duffer brothers recount.

50,000 people paid 120,000 euros to live on the Bitcoin Island, eight years later they are still without a house

Claudio Niggenkemper 11. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Over 50,000 people paid about 120,000 Euros for a life on the “Bitcoin Island” called Satoshi Island in the Pacific – so far, hardly anything exists in reality, houses and apartments have not been handed over, and now the location is even threatened to sink into the sea.

What is behind the project? Lataro Island, a 3.22 km² island in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu, was originally utilized by the British entrepreneur Anthony Welch under a 75-year lease. Welch lived on the island since 2007, before announcing in 2022 that he would transform the island into a digital crypto utopia called “Satoshi Island” (via decripto).

Select a MMO video…

The vision was grand: Together with his partner Theresa, Welch wanted to build a community of over 20,000 people that would rely entirely on digital identities, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technology (via TheGuardian).

The island nation of Vanuatu, east of Australia, with its tax-free income models seemed to be the perfect location for this.

Broken Promises?

What was promised and what actually happened? The idea was to sell plots of land in the form of NFTs and build modular smart homes on the island. These were to be completely energy-independent and provide a modern infrastructure for contemporary digital living. Interested parties could purchase NFT deeds (a digital proof of ownership) that were meant to secure ownership rights and benefits – a whole living package cost between 100,000 – 120,000 Euros (via bleepingcomputer).

Around 50,000 people worldwide reportedly invested in this promise. Yet, about three years after the official start, the grand vision still stands on shaky ground: There are no clear indications that even a single living module has been delivered or installed on the island (via 3Djuegos).

What is the current status? In July 2025, the project itself pulled the emergency brake: In an official statement on X, the Satoshi Island DAO LLC announced that all digital assets – including the NFT plots – are no longer allowed to be traded with immediate effect.

The reason for this is a breach of contract regarding the original land lease agreement. Three points were cited as the main reasons: Firstly, no substantial development has been undertaken on the island in the past three years. Secondly, there are insufficient financial resources to even keep the site in a safe and habitable condition. And thirdly, there have been no economic incentives, job offers, or social programs for the local population of Vanuatu.

The official website of the project is now no longer accessible. Furthermore, the island in the deep Pacific is also threatened by the climate crisis and rising sea levels.

How are investors and critics reacting? Already in the early posts of the project, critical voices repeatedly spoke out. Some warned against exaggerated and unrealistic expectations, comparing the undertaking early on to the failed scam luxury festival “Fyre Festival” (via lesperance).

Furthermore, the alleged offer of citizenship through NFTs was never legally clarified. While Vanuatu offers a legitimate citizenship-by-investment program, Welch’s Bitcoin Island had nothing to do with this program (via Government of Vanuatu). Additionally, the government of Vanuatu made it clear that acquiring an NFT does not guarantee a residence right (via protos).

A player underestimates the power of a spell in Dungeons & Dragons, discovers how powerful he really is, because the group doesn’t have a tank for the first time

Alexander Mehrwald 11. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Some spells in Dungeons & Dragons may initially seem inconspicuous or have a clear purpose. However, one player underestimated a spell so much that he even created a meme from his enlightenment that resonates well with the community.

Which spell is it? As medli20 shares in his Reddit thread, he completely underestimated the spell “Haste” over multiple campaigns and did not recognize its potential.

With this spell, you can grant yourself or an ally the following effects for 1 minute (which is 10 rounds in combat):

Double the speed / range of the movement action
+2 to Armor Class
Advantage on Dexterity saving throws
1 extra action per round
- Either: Attack, Dash, Dodge, Hide, or Use

For this, the spellcaster only needs a twig of licorice root and must maintain concentration on the spell for the entire duration. The spell ends only after its duration expires, if the caster’s concentration is broken, or if the buffed character becomes incapacitated.

So far, medli20 has only applied the spell to very specific characters. However, a special situation led him to rethink and realize how powerful the spell really is.

Start video

The trailer shows the German voices of Critical Role’s series adaptation Mighty Nein

Autoplay

“If your class doesn’t have an extra attack, buying in the store is also fine”

How did the user discover the power of Haste? As medli20 reports in his post, he had previously only applied Haste to front-line fighters to make them a bit more resilient and stronger.

But when he played a new campaign and the group didn’t have a clear tank to take on that role, he was unsure whether to still use the spell. After all, he could only use his sneak attack once per round, thereby adding only a normal attack through the buff.

Nevertheless, he decided to apply Haste to their rogue and was surprised by how much damage the buff allowed him to deal – especially at range: “Now that I’ve tried it, I can say with certainty that my doubts were completely unfounded. Even without an additional sneak attack, Sharpshooter + Steady Aim + Elf Precision deals enormous damage.”

This encouraged him to apply the spell to other classes as well and continue experimenting. In his thread, he shares a meme that embodies his experience. “If your class doesn’t have an extra attack, buying in the store is also fine” is the caption and shows the aforementioned rogue with his bow as he quickly fires multiple attacks:

At this point you will find external content from Reddit that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Reddit content

What does the community say about it? With over 3,400 likes and currently 54 comments, his meme is celebrated and validates his discovery. In their opinion, Haste is suitable for all melee and ranged fighters who attack with weapons. The spell can also be effectively combined with others, such as “Bless,” which allows you to add 1d4 to every attack or saving throw.

Especially for the classes fighter and barbarian, Haste leads to epic moments where they can seemingly rain down endless attacks on their opponent one after another. Haste also works excellently for monks.

User TimeStayOnReddit humorously adds: “Among the spell components that often come with puns is the licorice root, which – not surprisingly – is used to make licorice. Haste is a sugar rush.”

The head of Bethesda can imagine releasing The Elder Scrolls 6 surprisingly like Oblivion, but that will take some time

Jasmin Beverungen 11. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced around 8 years ago, back when E3 still existed. But even though so many years have passed, the release seems to be a while away.

What is the current status? In 2024, it was mentioned that TES 6 is already in a playable state. The developers are reportedly already playing the early version and exploring the world. However, the developers are aware that the hype surrounding the game is huge.

That’s why the pressure is so great to deliver an almost perfect game. That takes time. And that’s exactly why Todd Howard stated in a recent interview with GQ:

The Elder Scrolls 6 is still a long way off. I preach patience. I don’t want the fans to become impatient.

He didn’t specify a timeframe. However, from this quote, one can infer that it will still take years before The Elder Scrolls 6 is released. However, the release might then happen differently than usual.

Select a MMO video…

Shadowdrop of Oblivion was a successful experiment

What kind of release might TES 6 expect? As a last question, the GQ magazine couldn’t resist asking whether there could be a similar shadow drop for The Elder Scrolls 6 as there was for Oblivion.

The remaster of The Elder Scrolls 4 was unexpectedly released back then with no major announcements. This pleased many fans but also upset some developers, who suffered from the shadow drop.

When asked if something similar could happen with TES 6, Howard responded:

You could say that was a test run. It worked well.

He does not deny the question and speaks of a successful test run. Thus, he does not rule out conducting a shadow drop for TES 6 as well. However, one should keep in mind that the new Oblivion was “only” a remaster and not a new main entry in the series.

Although the release of TES 6 is still far off, fans can already contribute to the game. There was an auction for the game where a fan could design and name an NPC. However, the highest bidder stood out with an enormous offer: Bethesda auctions a special honor for Elder Scrolls 6 – But a rich tycoon outbids even the most loyal fans with an insane bid
