A gaming headset for PS4 and PS5 is currently a bestseller on Amazon. We’ll tell you what the device is worth or whether you should invest more.
What are these bestsellers? The retailer Amazon creates “bestsellers” for various products and categories. These figures are based on the most orders and are updated hourly by Amazon. This allows you to see which products are currently in high demand among potential customers.
Currently, a gaming headset from Logitech is among the bestsellers on Amazon. We will introduce you to the headset and also explain what alternatives are available for a small additional cost.
The Logitech G435 primarily impresses with its comfort
What kind of device is this? The G435 is a wireless gaming headset from Logitech that offers you both a Bluetooth connection and a connection via an included dongle. The device is very lightweight at 165 grams and features a closed design.
According to the manufacturer, the device offers both Dolby Atmos and the free version Windows Sonic. For the ear cushions, the manufacturer uses memory foam ear pads.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
How is the device rated? The well-known online magazine tested the G435 in the lab (via rtings.com). The testers explain that the headset offers a very good battery life of almost 20 hours and that the sound is also quite good for the price. However, the latency over the USB dongle is very high. The delay is 92 ms, which could be a problem in fast-paced games, as what you hear may not match what you see.
With the PS4 and PS5, you must use the dongle; the Bluetooth function can only be used with your phone or gaming PC. It is also unfortunate that you cannot pair multiple devices via Bluetooth at the same time.
Good secondary headset if you don’t want to play competitively
Who is this device worth it for? If you are looking for an affordable secondary device and mainly play single-player games or games where latency does not matter, then the headset is certainly an option. Its main strengths are its low weight and high comfort. If you are looking for a lightweight gaming headset for your Windows PC, then the G435 is also an affordable option under 50 euros.
For about 20 euros more, you can already get the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2. It not only offers better sound but also significantly better latency if you want to play wirelessly on your PS4 or PS5.

After the success of Witcher and Arcane, a whole series of TV shows based on video games have been announced. We summarize what is known about them for you.
Video game adaptations have often turned out to be total flops in the past. Movies and series of major and popular IPs like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, or Assassin’s Creed received devastating reviews from both critics and fans of the games.
However, in recent years, a turn seems to be expected. Detective Pikachu, Werewolves Within, and Sonic have managed to gather good ratings on the review site RottenTomatoes for the first time.
For TV series, Witcher and Halo have provided positive surprises and paved the way for more series. Here are 5 games and game franchises that have been announced to get their own TV series.
Resident Evil
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tb9ENbFWvQ
Provider: Netflix
Release: July 14
What is already known: The series focuses on the Umbrella Corporation and takes place on two timelines: in 2022 and 14 years later in 2036. The story follows the two sisters Jade and Billie Wesker, who are the daughters of the scientist Albert Wesker.
In 2022, they move to New Raccoon City near their father’s workplace. There, they first have to find their way around at the new school and in their new life. In 2036, the zombie apocalypse has already broken out, and Jade desperately tries to gather information about the zombies while looking for her sister.
Albert Wesker is played in the series by Lance Riddick, known to fans of Destiny as Commander Zavala.
The Last of Us
Provider: HBO
Release: 2023
What is already known: The TV series is based on the events of the first “The Last of Us” game, which follows the characters Joel and Ellie. After the outbreak of a terrible virus, large parts of the U.S. population have mutated into monsters, and civilization has completely collapsed.
Joel and Ellie try to survive in this post-apocalyptic world, where they not only have to contend with mutated fungal monsters but also with other humans who have become cannibals.
The main roles in the series are played by “Game of Thrones” stars Pedro Pascal (Oberyn Martell) and Bella Ramsey (Lyanna Mormont).
Assassin’s Creed
Provider: Netflix
Release: Unknown
What is known so far: In fact, the gaming franchise will get not one, but several series. One will be live-action, and two others will be animated. A whole “Assassin’s Creed” universe is to be built.
However, nothing is known about the setting of these series so far, although AC is known to offer a very large selection after over a dozen main games, spanning many eras.
It is known that the live-action series has Jeb Stuart as writer. Most of you will know him for his work on the original “Die Hard” film. That gives hope.
Fallout

What is known so far: Here too, little is known about the plot of the series. However, the setting is established thanks to the games. The nuclear post-apocalypse must not be missed in Fallout, of course.
More is known about the two main characters, played by Ella Purnell (Star Trek: Prodigy) and Walton Goggins (Tomb Raider 2018). While Goggins’ character is a ghoul who has been terribly mutilated by radiation, Purnell’s character is “cheerful and positive,” which is unsettling.
Jonathan Nolan, the creator of Westworld, is the producer of the series. The showrunners are Geneva Robertson-Dworet, known for her work on Tomb Raider (2018), and Graham Wagner, who previously worked on The Office and Portlandia.
More TV series about and around video games can be found on MeinMMO here:
What is already known: The story of the animated TV series will revolve around a teenager who struggles to survive on the streets of Night City every day. He makes his way as a criminal mercenary called an Edgerunner.
The series will initially contain 10 episodes and is produced by Studio Trigger, which boasts big names like Hiroyuki Imaishi, Masahiko Otsuka, or Hiromi Wakabayashi. All of them previously worked on well-known and popular animes Kill la Kill, Promare, and Gurren Lagann.
There will soon be more information about the series. Netflix announced a reveal for June 8, where fans will likely see the first trailer.
These video game series are also coming: The list of video game adaptations does not stop there, of course. Following the success of Witcher and Arcane, the following games will also receive their own TV series:
Splinter Cell
Sonic – Knuckles Spin-Off
Tomb Raider Anime
Twisted Metal
God of War
It Takes Two and more.
Which of these are you looking forward to? Which would you prefer to see as live-action and which as animation? Let us know in the comments.
The MMORPG Fractured Online is opening its closed beta to all interested players next week. Here’s how you can participate and what to expect.
This is Fractured: Fractured Online is an open-world sandbox MMORPG that draws inspiration from old-school games like Ultima Online. The setting is classic medieval fantasy.
It is played from an isometric perspective, similar to Lost Ark or Diablo, and the combat system is action-oriented, meaning you need to aim your skills and attacks to be effective.
The beta testing has been ongoing since April 6th. Players have been able to explore the continents of Myr and Aerhen, which consist of various biomes. Snowy mountains, steppe regions, and active volcanoes provide variety, and players must dress appropriately for the weather.
The weather system in Fractured is very detailed and each biome has its own weather cycle. The game characters are differently sensitive to temperature fluctuations, depending on their race. Therefore, they need to be dressed appropriately.
So far, only owners of the Founder’s Packs could participate. It cost at least €25.99 to join. This will change temporarily next week.
You have one week to test Fractured for free. Before or after that, access to the beta will only be possible through a Founder’s Pack. However, if you decide to continue playing, your progress from the free week will carry over and you won’t have to restart.
When is Fractured releasing? There is currently no exact release date, but the MMORPG is expected to launch in 2022. Given that the closed beta has been running for some time now, a release at the end of 2022 is not unlikely.
However, keep in mind that your progress from the closed beta will not carry over. All characters and progress will be wiped before launch, meaning everyone has to start anew.
Will you try Fractured or are you perhaps already playing it? Let us know in the comments.
This week, Lost Ark was once again in the spotlight among MMORPGs. The big update on May 19th released many new contents. However, the quarterly reports from NCSoft and Square Enix also made headlines. Additionally, there were some new MMORPG introductions. We have gathered all the important MMORPG news of the week.
Final Fantasy XIV celebrated its success in 2021 with Endwalker and “drastically” increased subscription numbers. This saves Square Enix the entire year.
The PvE MMORPG Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen revealed in a new Producer Letter that at least Crafting and Gathering have reached “playtest status” (via Pantheon).
These were the news of the week from the world of MMORPGs at a glance. Tell us, what was your personal highlight? Or did we perhaps forget something important? Have you perhaps experienced something exciting that you want to tell us? Feel free to write it in the comments here on MeinMMO.

The publisher Activision Blizzard has released a tool intended to measure the diversity of the characters in their game. They received a lot of negative reactions for this and even their own employees distanced themselves from the tool. In the new episode of the MeinMMO podcast, we discuss the reasons.
On May 12, Activision Blizzard published a blog post presenting a tool to calculate the diversity of characters in video games. It is based on a system that awards characters more or fewer points depending on how diverse they are.
The sniper Ana received 7 points in the “race” category for her Egyptian heritage and another 4 points in “physical flaws” for her missing eye. However, she received 0 diversity points for her sexuality, as she is heterosexual.
What was designed as a potentially useful and helpful tool received much criticism and confusion. Users asked, “What does it even mean for a character to have a higher race than others?”
Employees from Blizzard distanced themselves from the tool, and Overwatch developers emphasized that it was not used during the development of the shooter. The whole situation turned into another PR disaster for the publisher.
Schuhmann, Leya, and Marko, who is currently writing a dissertation on diversity in video games, are addressing the topic.
Here’s how you can contribute: You can actively participate in improving the podcast. If you have feedback such as suggestions or criticism, or simply want to submit a cool topic proposal that should urgently be discussed, then feel free to visit our Discord server.
Alternatively, you can also send an email directly to [email protected] and share your thoughts with us. Share your opinion in the comments.

This card offers very good offensive stats for a winger. A lot of pace and strong passing and crossing stats make Kostic an exciting playmaker. Kostic can also impress with his dribbling, alongside strong stamina (97).
Additionally, Kostic received an upgrade on his star ratings: He now has 4-star skills and 3 stars on his weak foot – which is one more than before.
To make him a bit more lethal in front of goal, a Finisher style is recommended.
Salem Al Dawsari
Price: approx. 29,500 coins
League / Nationality: SPL / Saudi Arabia
This is what makes Al Dawsari special: The left midfielder received an incredibly powerful card. With a lot of speed and dribbling, Al Dawsari can easily maneuver around opponents, accompanied by good shooting and passing stats. He also has the necessary physicality, although his defending leaves much to be desired.
Notably, he boasts 5 stars on his weak foot, as well as 4 stars for skills. This makes the offensive player, who also carries high work rates going forward, quite unpredictable.
However, as a Saudi Arabian player from the MBS Pro League, fitting him into the starting eleven can be tricky, since chemistry with other players of the same level can be hard to establish. This is likely one reason why Al Dawsari is relatively inexpensive.
But if you can incorporate him, or use him as a substitute: It’s best to use a Marksman style to further enhance his shooting, dribbling and physicality stats.
David Raum
Price: approx. 30,000
League / Nationality: Bundesliga / Germany
This is what makes Raum special: 99 pace, consisting of 99 acceleration and 99 sprint speed – for many players that’s already a hell of a good argument. If you’re still not convinced, you might enjoy the high physicality and defensive stats.
And if that still isn’t enough, take a look at Raum’s passing and dribbling stats, which also make him interesting on the offensive flanks. Only his shooting stats are rather negligible.
To put it briefly: If you use a Sentinel style, you’ll have a left-back who leaves little to be desired.

In FIFA 22 is currently the “Team of the Season” event. This brings a ton of strong cards – here are 5 good but inexpensive candidates for your team.
What kind of list is this? New cards are regularly being added to FIFA 22, boasting extremely high stats. Through the TOTS event, more cards are being added to the game that are really, really good.
The problem: Many of these cards are not only really good, but also really expensive. The top candidates often cost coin amounts in the upper six-figure range.
This is hardly affordable when you only have a few coins in your FUT account. But there are also some cards that are noticeably cheaper – and they can deliver as well.
Here we show you 5 good but budget-friendly TOTS cards that cost no more than 30,000 coins. Keep in mind: The transfer market in FIFA 22 fluctuates a bit and prices are not fixed. If the cards are a bit more expensive right now, wait until they drop in price again.
Karim Adeyemi
Cost: approx. 30,000 coins
League/Nationality: Austrian Bundesliga / Germany
This is what makes Adeyemi special: In real football, Adeyemi recently made headlines as his transfer was announced. Instead of playing for Red Bull Salzburg, the forward will be playing for Borussia Dortmund in the future – a new signing for the Bundesliga.
And Adeyemi could also have a place in your team. The German striker comes with plenty of speed and strong dribbling stats, also boasting four stars for skill moves. With a Deadeye style, you can elevate his shooting and passing stats above 90. So Adeyemi has basically everything you need in the offensive – and he’s also strong in the air.
However, he has just fallen below the 30,000 coin mark and sometimes jumps back above it. So keep an eye on the right buying timing.
Owen Wijndal
Cost: approx. 21,750 coins
League/Nationality: Eredivisie / Netherlands
This is what makes Wijndal special: Let’s drop a bit in the price range: Wijndal is one of the cheapest TOTS cards you can currently get. But don’t let that fool you: The Dutchman has all the stats for an absolutely solid left-back.
He combines speed with physicality and defensive stats to solidify the backline, while also offering good passing and dribbling stats to help in offense. Additionally, he has a high stamina rating of 97 – you probably won’t need to substitute him.
To make him a bit more lethal in front of goal, a Finisher style is recommended.

In Final Fantasy XIV there is an almost unlimited number of NPCs. Some are extremely important and powerful, while others are insignificant. And some are completely underestimated by players at first. Here are 5 of them.
It’s about these NPCs: As is usually the case with theme-park MMORPGs, the world of FFXIV is populated by countless NPCs. They send players on quests, advance the story, buy and sell stuff, and do what NPCs in MMORPGs do.
However, some of them are not what they initially seem. They may appear harmless or unimportant, but it turns out there’s more to them than meets the eye. We present to you 5 such NPCs.
Warning: This contains major spoilers for the story of FFXIV and several side quests.
The Merchant
Who is this? The merchants are among the first NPCs that the player character encounters in FFXIV. Each starting city has its own merchant who tells players a bit about them and serves as a kind of exposition.
When players begin their journey in FFXIV, they are greeted by an opening cutscene in which they are awakened by a merchant from their dreams. This merchant then engages them in a conversation where some tidbits and lore information about the world is revealed.
Why is he underestimated? The merchants from the opening cutscene initially seem to be completely generic NPCs who don’t even have a name. They appear as typical “throwaway NPCs” who only get one scene and are never seen again.
Most players who say goodbye to the merchants in the opening consider this NPC to be unimportant and underestimate his role in the game. Most of them also simply forget about him.
However, after the bloody banquet in Ul’dah and the escape from the city, they will see their merchant again. He comes to their aid and supports Alphinaud and the pursued player character during their escape. Many players were astonished during this scene.
Who is Eynzahr? The Roegadyn is the Marshal of the Grand Company of Limsa Lominsa, Maelstrom. He is the right-hand man of Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn and enjoys her boundless trust.
Aside from that, not much is initially known about Eynzahr. The taciturn warrior predominantly keeps to the background and shares his opinions and advice with Merlwyb.
Why is he underestimated? Like many underestimated NPCs, Eynzahr initially appears very inconspicuous. He can be seen here and there during the cutscenes that take place in Limsa Lominsa. Mostly, he stands in the background while Admiral Merlwyb issues commands and makes decisions.
It’s only much later that the player character discovers who Eynzahr really was before his service with Merlwyb. His second identity is that of the legendary pirate king Mistbeard. Under this name, he plundered countless ships and seized legendary treasures.
In the dungeon Shipwrecked Island (Hard), players can personally experience the strength of the legendary pirate. He appears there as the final boss in battle against them and shows that he still has some tricks up his sleeve.
Karasu Kanshi
Who is Karasu? Before the nation of Doma was invaded and conquered by the Garleans, Karasu studied the art of Ninjutsu in a hidden village with his friends Oboro and Tsubame. He was considered one of the best students.
However, he betrayed his homeland to the invaders and worked for the Empire as a spy and ninja. Oboro and Tsubame have made it their mission to find Karasu and hold him accountable for his crimes.
Why is he underestimated? Karasu does everything he can to be underestimated. His somewhat… eccentric mannerisms, his goofy poses, and the tendency to refer to himself as the hero of the story make it really hard to take him seriously as an opponent.
Each of his appearances is theatrically staged and accompanied by comments that portray him as great and his enemies as foolish. Despite his crazy behavior, Karasu repeatedly manages to deceive the players and other NPCs.
He ensures that Oboro defeats the true traitor of Doma and fakes his own death multiple times. He even manages to steal the forbidden Mudra scroll at the end of the Ninja storyline, that rascal.
Who is Ilberd? When his homeland, Ala Mhigo, was conquered by the Imperial forces of Garlemald, he was forced to flee to Ul’dah. There, he initially worked as a mercenary until he joined the Crystal Warriors and rose in rank.
He is also a close friend of General Raubahn, who also hails from Ala Mhigo and worked his way up to become one of the richest men in Ul’dah.
Why was he underestimated? Ilberd is also an NPC who has been repeatedly underestimated by players, but regarding his deceitfulness and cruelty. He first encounters the player character as a brave and loyal fighter who joins the Crystal Warriors.
However, during the bloody banquet in Ul’dah, he betrays the Scions of the Seventh Dawn and even chops off Raubahn’s arm. But even after the bloody end of ARR and Raubahn’s rescue from prison in Heavensward, Ilberd seems to be nothing more than a puppet of Lolorito, who pulls all the strings in the background.
Hardly anyone suspects that he will be responsible for countless deaths and will unleash a war. With the help of the Ascians, he comes into possession of the Eyes of Nidhogg, which still carry great magical power, and takes his own life to summon the Primae Shinryu.
The Mandervilles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP9GwvQ7BxI
Who are the Mandervilles? The side quests revolving around the self-proclaimed criminologist Hildibrand Manderville have existed in FFXIV since the failed 1.0 version. Together with his assistant Nashu, Hildi solves tricky criminal cases. Or at least he tries to.
Because his adventures are always filled with plenty of chaos and often end with him being catapulted somewhere. Throughout the quests, more members of the Manderville family have also been introduced. And they are something else.
Why were they underestimated? It quickly becomes clear to players at the beginning of the Hildibrand questline that the parents of the legendary detective Hildibrand Manderville likely have a screw loose. After all, very few NPCs in these quests are blessed with common sense.
But hardly anyone suspects that Godbert, the father, possesses powers that would make any Primae tremble. What can you expect from a guy who constantly walks around in his underwear and plays Santa during the Starlight celebration?
Getting on Julyan’s nerves is a very, very bad idea.
But even more powerful than Godbert is his wife Julyan, the mother of Hildibrand. Although she is initially portrayed as a loving and caring mother, woe to anyone who incurs her wrath. They will feel the full force of her frying pan, which even her husband Godbert fears.

No matter if a longer video catches your eye on the YouTube homepage, you want to watch your guilty pleasure on Netflix for the tenth time, or you finally want to listen to that one podcast – not everything requires your full concentration. That’s why we’re going to tell you about 5 Steam shooters that you can easily play while doing something else.
Be honest: How many True Crime podcasts have you listened to while driving? Watched YouTube videos while ironing? Sat in online conferences while doing the dishes?
Some things just don’t need your full concentration. You don’t have to stare at your screen for the full 2.5 hours while a video essay on YouTube finally explains NFTs clearly.
But you don’t always have to do household chores on the side. We’re going to name 5 great shooters that you can enjoy at low volume while something else is happening on your second monitor. This way, you keep your hands busy while your mind wanders elsewhere. That’s how multitasking can be really fun.
Destiny 2

Everything you need to know about Destiny 2 – in 2 minutes
In Destiny 2, you feel like a god. And you can do that quite casually.
The best thing about this incredibly popular loot shooter is that you play literally immortal forces, capable of unleashing devastation with huge guns, electric magic, or frost tornadoes at the push of a button.
But when you’re on autopilot in Destiny 2, you don’t really need to focus much on the game. In the grind for the next new weapon, you hardly need to stress your brain; instead, you can jump meters high in a trance, chase rocket-firing zombie aliens, and completely ignore the dialogue.
That’s why Destiny 2 is the perfect companion for that new rock album you’ve wanted to listen to uninterrupted and in one go for so long. Let the sounds guide and enchant you while the guitar solo of song 4 takes you to the seventh heaven.
Warframe

Warframe shows new gameplay trailer for the next update – Coming this month
Warframe works for very similar reasons as a “podcast game” like Destiny 2. Warframe is also a gigantic sci-fi loot shooter, where you can farm better gear for hours.
But where Warframe sets itself apart from Destiny 2 is particularly in the progression system. Destiny 2 opens up the entire universe quite early to you, but you primarily play what is currently trending in the current season.
In Warframe, however, as a beginner, you tackle one planet at a time without much story distracting you. You, as an overpowered space ninja, carve your way through countless aliens, robots, and alien robots while always making progress.
All this can be done without much effort since, whether on a planet’s surface or on a spaceship – your tasks are always clear, relatively simple, and always fun. Accordingly, you can easily activate your relaxed brain cells for the trial between Hollywood stars that you have running in the background.
Risk of Rain 2
Risk of Rain 2 presents its latest add-on
Risk of Rain 2 is an absolute indie gem. This roguelite shooter throws you on alien planets where endlessly spawning enemies appear. The longer you play a round, the harder and more numerous the hordes coming your way become – along with the rewards they drop when defeated.
Each level in Risk of Rain 2 is therefore a balancing act: How long do you want to stay in a level? Do you really want to take all the items with you, or do you pull the emergency brake, summon the boss, and fight your way to the next level?
Perseverance in the game is rewarded with an incredible power fantasy. Hundreds of enemies explode, sizzle, or freeze in front of you while you diligently collect the gold. But if you become careless and die, you have to start all over again.
Risk of Rain 2 is an excellent game to play on the side because it plays effortlessly despite a high difficulty level. You don’t have to think much here, and there are no dialogues. Instead, you can rely purely on your gaming instincts. The massive spectacle on the first screen distracts just enough for you to keep up with the dialogues on the second screen.
Splitgate
Start video
Splitgate Beta Season 1 Trailer
If you are less interested in loot than PvP duels, then Splitgate is a great game for casual play.
This clever F2P shooter is best described as a very successful mix of Halo and Portal. You shoot with sci-fi weapons in arena-like maps at enemies who can, like you, quickly create portals through which they can escape or shoot.
With a relatively slow TTK, it hardly matters whether you can hear enemies well or react at lightning speed to them. In Splitgate, fundamental shooter basics matter much more than reaction times enhanced by energy drinks.
So it doesn’t matter if you’re completely focused on the game or watching sports on the side – Splitgate can entertain you as a PvP shooter without giving you a huge handicap.
Deep Rock Galactic
Deep Rock Galactic shows its Season 2 in the trailer
This co-op shooter has a pacing that is great for casual play: Between intense waves where you have to shoot alien bugs, there are many completely calm moments. Here you can pay attention to the YouTube video, plan your shopping in your head, or have pleasant conversations with your colleagues. Then it’s back to dealing with hordes of creatures that want to make your life difficult.
So you can have a simple, pleasant evening with the game and the alien bugs.
Former Twitch streamer Philip “DSPGaming” Burnell, also known as DarksydePhil, talked on YouTube about how he prefers to receive donations, even though he had only received about 300 euros through YouTube memberships previously. MeinMMO reports on what happened.
Who is the streamer?
Burnell has been creating content on YouTube for 12 years. Initially for fun, but now he calls it “his business.” He currently has 198,000 subscribers on the platform.
In the meantime, DSPGaming also streamed on Twitch and has over 100,000 followers there. However, they reportedly removed his partner status because he tended to engage in hate speech. He issued an ultimatum to them, demanding a public apology from Twitch; otherwise, he would permanently switch to YouTube.
He is currently streaming on YouTube and is considered a poor gamer in his community. Additionally, his content and the atmosphere tend to be rather negative. He often asks for donations from his viewers.
Even now, DSPGaming emphasized that donations are very important to finance his life. This came shortly after he had received only about 300 euros.
Twitch Prime is also a significant source of income for streamers. Find out all about it in our video:

Prime Gaming, the secret behind Twitch’s success
DSPGaming prefers direct donations, as he receives more from them
How does a membership work on YouTube? On YouTube, viewers can subscribe to memberships that correspond to Twitch subscriptions. The YouTuber sets the prices for these memberships. Prices can start from 0.99 euros upwards for various contributions.
The share that a YouTuber receives varies somewhat, but one can expect about 60% that the content creator receives from a membership.
What about DSPGaming? The streamer has 3 memberships to choose from:
3.99 euros
9.99 euros
19.99 euros
In 24 hours, he received 100 memberships on YouTube as donations. It is said that 400 US dollars, about 378 euros, were generated. The occasion was that he received the feature recently – fans were happy for him and wanted to support him with this.
What did the streamer say about it? DSPGaming thanked the supporters and said: “Didn’t I tell you that this would happen? I knew it and thank you, guys. Thank you for fulfilling what I expected.” He mentioned that he already knew he would receive so many memberships.

However, he needed to make one thing very clear: “I need to emphasize something, okay? Donations are very important for me and my business.” The streamer then listed things he could directly buy or spend donations on:
DSPGaming hopes that his fans will not just give away memberships and then forget to donate. That would put him in a “bad situation.” Subsequently, his viewers wrote “lol” and “lmao” in the chat, and he asked: “Why are you laughing?” threatening to end the stream.
To be honest with you, and if you think this is funny – that’s ridiculous. What is wrong with you? I’m telling you that I can’t afford anything on my day off, on Tuesday, if I only get memberships this weekend.
DSPGaming
Furthermore, he insulted the people a few times who really find the situation funny.
Burnell reiterated that the money from the memberships would only appear in his account in 1–1.5 months, but he had things he needed to pay for now. He encouraged people to donate, especially those who had done so in the past.
According to reports from U.S. media, EA is looking for a buyer. Electronic Arts, the publisher and developer of games like FIFA 22 and Apex Legends, is said to prefer being acquired by mega-corporations like Apple or Disney. MeinMMO tells you what’s behind this.
As reported by the American website Puck, EA is in talks with several major corporations like Disney, Apple, and Amazon. The maker of FIFA, Battlefield, and Apex Legends wants to be acquired or merge with companies like NBCUniversal.
Although no fixed agreement has been reached yet, EA’s plans seem to be quite concrete – as well as the desire to finalize a deal.
EA recognizes industry trend of large acquisitions and consolidations
What is being reported? Dylan Byers from Puck reports on EA’s concrete plans and those of their CEO, Andrew Wilson:
In recent years, as media companies have shown a greater interest in the rapidly growing gaming industry, [Andrew] Wilson and Electronic Arts have engaged in talks with a number of different potential buyers, including Disney, Apple, and Amazon.
Multiple sources familiar with these discussions say that EA is persistently pushing for a sale and has been encouraged by the Microsoft-Activision deal. Others say that EA is primarily interested in a merger agreement that would allow Wilson to remain as Chief Executive of the combined company.
Preferably, Andrew Wilson would like to remain in a leadership role. However, EA is expected to be integrated into an even larger corporation – through a sale or a merger.
In a statement to Kotaku, EA spokesperson John Reseburg said that they “do not comment on rumors and speculation related to mergers and acquisitions.”
What could be the reason? As Byers states, EA’s efforts are likely in light of a new trend in the gaming industry. More and more developers and publishers are being acquired and merged.
In February, EA announced that it prefers to buy rather than be bought. Since then, the plan has apparently changed. Byers reports that Wilson approached Disney as early as March to finalize a “more significant deal than licensing. “
This statement is particularly striking, as EA has lost prominent licensing contracts. While many Star Wars games are in development at EA, and Star Wars now belongs to Disney. However, just a few days ago it became known that EA will release football games in the future without the FIFA license.
What does this mean for the employees? Whatever the future of EA may look like, a major concern related to consolidation is the question of how it will ultimately affect the employees of these companies.
As Kotaku reports, an estimated 200 customer service employees are set to be laid off. “According to four of the affected employees, their work is being outsourced to cheaper third parties in Romania and India,” Kotaku writes.
This could also be a sign that EA wants to make itself more attractive to potential buyers.
The gaming industry is generally in a very turbulent phase. A new trend of employees from gaming developers forming unions also shows this:
V Rising is currently celebrating great success and has been received positively so far. However, there is a feature that is bothering some fans: the base building and its maintenance.
What is the problem for the fans? In V Rising, you awaken as a weak vampire and must survive in a world full of dangers. Enemies, the sun, and potential PvP players want to stop you.
A base that you can upgrade to a castle with thick walls is meant to help you withstand the dangers. But that’s exactly where the problem lies, as the base does not last forever. Players must feed it with so-called blood essences, otherwise the cozy home will decay, and you will have to rebuild it.
Building your outpost consumes a lot of resources, and it is naturally very frustrating when it decays because you can’t or don’t want to play.
How long does the base last? When you put 100 blood essences into the heart of the castle, it lasts about 12 real hours before it disappears. Thus, you are forced to constantly farm blood essences and place them in the castle heart if you don’t want to lose your progress – annoying, say the players.
More information about the game can be found in our video:

No breaks in V Rising, because the castle heart demands it?
If you want to go on vacation for a week, take a short break, or simply don’t have time to collect blood essences and put them in the heart, you will be punished by the game.
What do the players say about it? On Steam, there are some reviews that express their displeasure. Not only can PvP players destroy the outpost, but also the game itself; this is not suitable for casual players.
Statements from the reviews that summarize the criticism well:
“I don’t understand the praise. (…) What bothers me the most (as a solo player) is that your castle and everything you create after 3-4 hours is completely gone if you log out overnight. You can protect your castle heart for maybe 4-5 hours, but once the protection is gone, everything decays and simply disappears. You yourself are dead and have lost everything you can collect. So if you can only play “just” 1-2 hours a day – it’s pointless. You start anew every day. In co-op, it’s certainly nice – if you play a lot. For casual players, it’s trash (via Steam).”
“You lose all your progress if you don’t have enough blood essences for your heart, even if you log out and go to sleep. People say blood essences are easy to farm. Maybe, but at the beginning, I only had enough for 2 hours after playing for an hour. Not my kind of game, where you lose progress if you take a break (via Steam).”
Furthermore, some point out that the game is rather designed to be played in a group. This way, the farming and the aspect with the blood essences are less of an obstacle. As a casual and solo player, however, you have bad cards.
What do you think about this? Have you also encountered this obstacle in V Rising or do you have tips to effectively farm blood essences in singleplayer? Let us know in the comments.
The first beta for Overwatch 2 ended on May 17th. A major criticism was that it plays hardly differently and looks almost identical to the first part. But now players have to play the first part again and suddenly realize: Overwatch 1 is significantly less fun than the successor.
The Overwatch 2 beta has just recently ended. On April 27th, the beta also thanks to Twitch Drops started very successfully. However, shortly thereafter, the mood shifted to a disinterested shrug or even negative.
The community’s conclusion was: Overwatch 2 is hardly different from Overwatch 1, making it a disappointment. The numbers on Twitch collapsed, a whole 99% of viewers turned away compared to the Twitch Drop phase.
But now, with the beta of the second part over, Overwatch fans have to play part 1 again. And the direct contrast apparently leads to a rethink in the community.
Especially on Reddit, the voices are increasing that say: Bring the beta for Overwatch 2 back, because the first part is simply no longer fun.
“Most players have realized that OW2 is actually better than OW1”
In particular, a video by well-known YouTuber Jason Yevgeniy “videogamedunkey” Gastrow has contributed significantly to the image that Overwatch 2 changes many things, but at its core is still the same game. He said, “You can’t escape the feeling that you are still just playing Overwatch 1.”
Here you can see the video from videogamedunkey:

How has the mood changed? Since May 17th, the beta for Overwatch 2 has been over. Anyone who plays Overwatch regularly must therefore play the first part. And now fans of Blizzard’s shooter are realizing that part 2 indeed made significantly more changes than they thought.
On Reddit, you can find posts with titles like “The OW2 beta needs to stay. OW1 is unplayable since I’ve played [Overwatch] 2” (via reddit).
This mood is also reflected in the comments:
“I believe most players have realized that OW2 is actually better than OW1”
“After playing so much of the beta and really enjoying it, I now feel like I have almost no fun with OW1.”
“It just feels worse to play… Also, the wait times for support are much worse.”
“OW2 feels like what Overwatch was always meant to be: a competitive, fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled game. OW1 is slow, clunky, tiring, and frustrating.”
Overwatch 2 changes many small but fundamentally important things
Why has the mood changed? The reasons for this shift in mood are apparently that players notice in direct comparison how many annoying small things from part 1 are no longer in Overwatch 2.
These were the most important changes in the beta:
Each team now has only 5 players instead of 6.
There is now only one tank per team, making DPS characters deadlier.
Tank shields have been heavily nerfed or completely removed, resulting in more aggressive gameplay.
Changes like increased speed of all DPS or the passive healing for support heroes also make gameplay faster and more aggressive.
Most “crowd control” abilities have been completely removed. Players are therefore significantly less likely to be stunned, frozen or knocked back. Sombra hacks now only interrupt abilities and do not completely shut them down.
The hated game mode “2CP” has been completely removed in Overwatch 2.
All these changes, while individually relatively minor, create a larger domino effect that alters the overall game feel. As a result, many of the heroes that fans know inside and out from part 1 play differently in part 2. Some surprisingly strong characters were the strongest in the beta.
See here which heroes were very strong in the Overwatch 2 beta:

Just now, as the beta is over, many players realize even more what Blizzard has changed with Overwatch 2. But for now, they can only continue playing Overwatch 1, without all the changes. And with many things they didn’t even miss in part 2.
When does the next beta start? This is currently unknown. However, on June 16th, the date for that will be announced. It is also unknown when Overwatch 2 will celebrate its proper release. However, it is expected that at least the PvE part of the game could not be released until 2023.
Regardless of the game itself, there was a huge discussion about Overwatch recently. It was about a tool that Activision Blizzard has used for diversity purposes, and which has caused a lot of criticism:

With Diablo Immortal launching in June, a hack and slash for mobile devices that many players are already looking forward to. However, if you don’t want to wait until the release, you can already enjoy some great titles on Android and iOS. We will reveal to you which are the 5 best alternatives.
What is this list about? We want to introduce you to alternatives to Diablo Immortal that you can play right now or switch to if the latest game from Blizzard does not convince you in the end or deters you with pay-to-win.
MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch has searched for the best alternatives, focusing primarily on ratings in the Play and App Store as well as positive tests of the games. The focus is primarily on the hack and slash component. If you are more looking for mobile MMORPGs, you will find them in this list:
What kind of game is this? Eternium is a hack and slash game with somewhat more colorful, comic-like graphics, released in 2014. It was originally released for Android and iOS, but now also offers a PC version on Steam.
The focus is on grinding and collecting loot. You choose from one of three classes – Mage, Warrior, or Mercenary. Each of these classes offers around 20 abilities. With your character, you can explore the game world, run dungeons, and even participate in PvP content. There is a max level and then champion levels, of which you can achieve endless amounts.
The special feature of the game is the control scheme. For many action attacks or spells, you have to trace certain shapes, such as a Z or V on the screen. You also use the healing potion by drawing the “less than” sign. This gives Eternium a unique flair on mobile devices.
The hack and slash advertises that it is free-to-play and does not offer pay-to-win in the shop. Many reviews confirm this. However, there are said to be payment options that allow you to bypass timers, such as when upgrading skills. This requires waiting times of up to 48 hours in Eternium.

In the Play Store, Eternium achieves an impressive 4.8 out of 5 stars. A total of 2.5 million ratings have been given.
In the App Store, it also has 4.8 stars, although here only just over 7,000 ratings have been submitted.
The PC version, released in October 2021, receives 81% positive reviews on Steam. Criticism here is directed at waiting times for upgrades, weak graphics, the mobile feeling, and issues in PvP, which are supposedly non-existent in the mobile version.
Eternium allows you to play offline in single-player mode, but an internet connection is required for multiplayer and PvP.
Titan Quest: Legendary Edition
What kind of game is this? Titan Quest is a well-known game series that you can also play on Android and iOS in the Legendary Edition. It takes place in the world of Greek mythology, which significantly departs from the setting in Diablo Immortal. However, the story has received a lot of praise in the reviews.
You do not choose a specific class with your character but have access to two skill trees. You can combine these as you like or focus on just one. Otherwise, Titan Quest offers the usual content of an action RPG, including looting, leveling up, and upgrading equipment.
However, it completely forgoes a shop and microtransactions. In return, you must pay a one-time fee of 19.99 euros to access the Legendary Edition, including all DLCs, skills, and areas.
Criticism is directed at the fact that looting and inventory management are said to be somewhat cumbersome on mobile devices, which seems a bit bizarre, as this is a core element of the game. Additionally, there are reports of FPS drops on weaker devices or in certain locations.

There is a story campaign that you can complete entirely in single-player mode. Afterwards, you can complete dungeons in co-op with friends or strangers or even finish large raids. The classes are said to complement each other perfectly, enabling unique combos and strategies.
Raziel is said to offer many mechanics, level-ups, and a lot of variance in equipment; however, it poorly explains these contents in the tutorial.
Criticism is also directed at the fact that in the end game, diamonds for upgrades are required, which can also be purchased, as well as the language, since there is no German localization.

In the Play Store, Raziel: Dungeon Arena has received 4.4 out of 5 stars so far. Overall, there have been nearly 55,000 reviews.
In the App Store, it received 1,000 ratings, averaging 4.6 stars.
The single-player campaign can be played offline, but an internet connection is required for dungeons and raids.
Blade Bound
What kind of game is this? Bladebound is a classic hack and slash that offers no special innovations. The graphics are rather weak despite the light cartoon style, and the story does not set any major standards either. Nevertheless, it is rated very positively.
You initially choose a character, with no fixed classes available. Instead, you can assemble your own playstyle from dozens of skills.
In the endgame, you can choose from various activities in a menu, including dungeons, boss arenas, monster hunts, PvP, or story content. There are also event dungeons that are only available at certain times.
Criticism is directed at the shop, which according to some reviews allegedly becomes mandatory in the endgame – for example, to repurchase energy for specific content. Additionally, there are loot boxes to obtain strong equipment. The auto-grind mode is also not liked by everyone.

In the Play Store, Blade Bound receives 4.5 stars based on 106,000 ratings.
In the App Store, it even has 4.6 stars, although only 499 ratings have been made.
Blade Bound requires a constant internet connection.
Grimvalor
What kind of game is this? Grimvalor differs significantly from Diablo Immortal but is regarded in ARPG circles as one of the best games, which is why we wanted to include it in this list. You play a character in a platformer where you can run left and right, jump, or dodge.
You explore various areas with your character and fight opponents to obtain better loot and equipment. You follow a story. Once completed, it offers New Game+, which allows you to replay the game with the experience you gained.
Grimvalor is free and also does not offer a shop. However, you frequently see ads. For a one-time fee of 6.99 euros, you can permanently disable the ads.

In the App Store, it even has 4.8 stars, but with only 822 ratings.
Grimvalor can be played completely offline.
Honorable Mention: Path of Exile Mobile
What kind of game is this? Path of Exile announced a mobile version in 2019. The game is being developed internally by Grinding Gear Games and is said to contain “no bullshit”. Essentially, it is supposed to be like Path of Exile, but for Android and iOS.
However, there has been little news about the game for a long time. It is currently unclear when Path of Exile Mobile will be released. However, once the version is out, it will be a hot candidate for this list.

How should you prepare? Take some time during the event from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Keep in mind that you can still complete the evolutions for the special move until 4:00 PM. The reduced trade costs and the extra special trade can also be utilized until 4:00 PM.
Those who want to catch many Pokémon will need many balls. We recommend at least 300 to 400 balls if you want to make the most of the event. Pros and trainers who play particularly efficiently should pack even more balls.
It’s also advisable to tidy up your Pokémon collection beforehand so that you don’t hit the limits during the event and have to send Pokémon away. That would waste unnecessary time.
Utilize bonuses: Even if you don’t like Alolan Geodude and its evolutions, the Stardust bonus is definitely worth it. If you catch diligently, you can significantly increase your stock. Remember that using a Star Piece will further increase your yield.
Moreover, the event invites you to trade Pokémon with your friends since the costs are reduced by half.
If you’re after Geodude Candy, you should also use Nanab Berries while catching to double your received candies.
For whom is the event worthwhile? If you are looking for strong Rock attackers, then you are on the right track with this event. Especially for new players, Alolan Golem is a Pokémon that can help you initially. However, there is still a lot of room for growth, and there are significantly stronger attackers for raids.
In PvP, however, the Geodude family is not particularly strong. But Alolan Graveler is popular in Trainer battles and has found its niche there.
For the Stardust bonus alone, the event should be worthwhile for many trainers. Additionally, the increased chance for Shinies presents an incentive for many trainers to participate in the event.
This week, Xur’s visit to Destiny 2 is certain. He will supply you again with exotic goods this weekend. MeinMMO is tracking his route and will tell you where to fly for shopping.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? Bungie has declared Xur’s overtime, which some players had illegally imposed on him, to be over. Although his will is not his own, it was stated that he needs his well-deserved break every week. So no more overtime!
However, the most practical news in Bungie’s blog post was that you will soon have more space in your vault to better accommodate Xur’s exotic goods. Bungie announced in the weekly blog post that the vault will soon offer more storage space. Given that each new season in Destiny 2 brings around 20 weapons and exotics, this was also urgently needed.
In addition, Destiny 2 released one of the best color-changing shaders for glimmer this week. But you need to hurry if you want to grab it!
All info about Xur on May 20, 2022 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia

Where is Xur? This is his stock for the weekend
Xur’s position: MeinMMO knows Xur’s locations and tracks him down for you every Friday. Today, the mysterious vendor is located in the Guardian’s grave on Nessus.
Here is his exact position:

Seven victories
50 rounds
as well as the infamous flawless run that leads you to the Lighthouse

Until May 24, Aisha’s Embrace, the Void scout rifle, is available – including the adept version of the weapon for a trip to the Lighthouse.
All trial weapons have a Trials origin trait: “Swiftness” – Improves reload speed, stability, aim assist, and range when you are the last living member of your fireteam or fighting alone.
If you have obtained your desired weapon, you can focus your trials engrams at the 14th Saint to your desired weapon. Additionally, you can obtain enhancement prisms and ascendant shards. Keep in mind that your reward increases even more when you have a complete pass – even if you have lost one or two games.
When do the Trials start? The Trials (Trials of Osiris) start this Friday at the daily reset at 7 PM.
What do you think of Xur’s inventory this weekend? Is there anything missing from his offer, such as older shaders? Or are you completely happy with the goodies? Let us know in the comments what you think of the old Xur lately.

The best 4K TVs with HDMI 2.1, 120 FPS, and low input lag for PS5 and Xbox Series X are presented in our buying guide. Tips for TV purchases for next-gen.
To take advantage of the resulting possibilities, many are considering a new TV. The market is full of 4K TVs, but not all models offer the features that you want and need for a 4K gaming TV.
Therefore, in this buying guide, we show you only 4K TVs that meet all the requirements for the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Accordingly, these topics await you:
What is important for a 4K gaming TV?
Why you should pay attention to HDMI 2.1 for PS5 and Xbox Series X
The best 4K gaming TVs from LG
The best 4K gaming TVs from Sony
The best 4K gaming TVs from Samsung

What features are important for 4K gaming TVs?
This is important for gaming 4K TVs: If you want to buy a 4K TV to play games on, you should pay attention to a few features. Above all, it should have a low input lag of less than 20-25 ms. This is usually enabled by a special gaming mode.
You will see even more details in the games when the 4K TV uses a very good HDR. Ideally, it should use current standards such as HDR10+ or HDR10 Pro. It would be especially good if the TV also has Dolby Vision. This is also an HDR technology that offers the advantage over normal HDR that metadata for each scene and frame can be stored. This results in an even better image.
It is also advisable to pay attention to the peak brightness of the TV. The 4K TV should have a value of at least 600 cd/m². Something in the range of 700 to 800 cd/m² would be very good.
Furthermore, it is advantageous if the TV features FreeSync or G-Sync. These two features are especially important if you want to connect your gaming PC to the TV.
Small checklist of important 4K gaming features:
Low input lag (less than 25ms, possibly via gaming mode)
HDR10+
High peak brightness (from 600 cd/m²)
For PS5 & Xbox Series X: HDMI 2.1 with VRR and ALLM
Advantageous: FreeSync or G-Sync (especially when using the TV with a PC)
OLED or LED? What matters
Important for a top TV: If you also like to watch movies or series in 4K on the TV, you should of course pay attention to the picture quality. The OLED display offers the best color and black values and overall the best TV experience.
The risk of burn-in is no longer really a concern with OLEDs, especially due to appropriate protective mechanisms. The image is shifted by a few pixels in certain cases, to minimally change the position of bright elements. In addition, the screensaver protects against burn-in.
What is burn-in? In the early days of OLED TVs, there was the issue that static images like the logo of a TV channel could “burn” into the image. However, it is not actually burning, but rather uneven aging of the individual pixels. The brightness of OLED pixels decreases over time. Therefore, static images simply cause those pixels to age faster at those spots, making the effect visible to the viewer.
However, with today’s OLEDs, this happens very rarely in private use. You would have to run the TV on the same channel for several months continuously to experience such an effect. According to a long-term test by RTINGS.com, even after over 5,000 hours, there is no deterioration in brightness or any “burn-ins”.
LED TVs are LCD TVs with LED backlighting. While they do not represent black as well as an OLED, they achieve significantly higher peak brightness and still offer somewhat rich colors as well as strong contrast. Ultimately, it is a matter of price. OLEDs usually cost a few hundred euros more than LED TVs.
For the best possible gaming and TV experience, we recommend OLED TVs. Otherwise, Samsung’s QLEDs and Full Array LEDs are recommended.
This is why you want HDMI 2.1 for PS5 & Xbox Series X
Maximum performance of next-gen consoles: HDMI 2.1 is the most important feature for a 4K TV if you want to utilize all the capabilities of the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Only with HDMI 2.1 can a TV play games in 4K and 120 FPS. With older standards, the limit is 60 FPS. However, the new consoles allow more than 60 FPS depending on the game, and you can only experience this with HDMI 2.1.
With HDMI 2.1 you also get the following important features: Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). VRR is comparable to FreeSync and G-Sync. It allows for a variable refresh rate, preventing frame tearing.
With ALLM, the mode with the lowest latency is automatically switched to. This gives you the best input lag without any additional steps.
You can also connect your gaming PC to your 4K TV. Image source: LG.com
4K gaming TVs from LG: OLED & large selection
LG has had very good OLED TVs for years, which have HDMI 2.1 since 2019.
LG OLED 2021: The best 4K TVs for PS5 & Xbox Series X
LG OLED 2021 with HDMI 2.1: The 4K TV from LG from 2021 offers, above all, a stronger processor. The B1 model uses the Alpha-7 fourth generation and the C1 model uses the Alpha-9 fourth generation.
In addition, they each offer HDMI 2.1 with all necessary features such as ALLM, VRR, G-Sync, and FreeSync. You can also expect a great picture and Dolby Vision IQ.
Especially the LG OLED C1 is now the top model for the PS5 and Xbox Series X. However, the models from 2020 are also not to be underestimated.
LG OLED 2020: Great alternative to the current models
2020 entry-level OLED models as a price tip: LG also supported HDMI 2.1 in its OLED TVs in 2020, and due to the entry-level models, there are particularly affordable options to buy a 4K TV for next-gen consoles.
The LG OLED 2020 B series uses a slightly weaker processor and has less peak brightness than the C series. Nevertheless, with the LG OLED BX 2020, you get everything your gaming 4K TV needs.
If you want the best quality, you should go for the 2020 CX model as it gives you the better processor and an even better picture.
2020 top OLED models: The LG OLEDCX model offers you the best possible TV quality with the best possible gaming experience. The TV has everything you need for gaming and great movie / series nights.
Our recommendation for those looking for the perfect mix of gaming and home cinema.
Sony KE-XH9005: Suitable for the PlayStation 5, Sony offers the XH90 4K TV. This features a full array LED display. Thus, the entire screen is divided into zones, where the brightness can be adjusted according to the scene. It offers excellent peak brightness and impresses with its price-performance ratio.
Sony advertises the TV with “Ready for PlayStation 5”. The necessary firmware update for the Sony XH90 has been available since the end of October 2020.
Theoretically, the Sony XH8 is also equipped with HDMI 2.1. However, this is an 8K TV. The resolution, in our view, is overkill, and with the high prices of the TV, it makes more sense to buy an LG OLED.
Samsung 4K TV with HDMI 2.1: QN85A, QN90A & QN95A
Samsung with several HDMI 2.1 models: The Samsung QLED TVs from 2021 offer almost all HDMI 2.1. Only the models Q70A and Q80A with 50 inches or less, as well as the Q60A series are exceptions.
Otherwise, you can buy the Samsung QLED Q70A, QLED Q80A, QLED QN85A, QLED QN90A, and QLED QN95A. All have HDMI 2.1, except for the exceptions mentioned. However, the entry-level models Q70A and Q80A are currently hardly available.
The QN85A offers a very good price-performance ratio, and you get the best possible Samsung 4K TV with the QN95A. This one features a very high peak brightness of up to 2,000 cd/m².
Ready for PS5 & Xbox Series X since 2021: Philips has equipped its new OLED models in 2021 with HDMI 2.1. All three models we present have two HDMI 2.1 ports.
Thanks to OLED technology, all TVs offer a very good image, although LG’s OLED TVs are even better. However, if you value Ambilight, you can confidently go for the 2021 OLED models from Philips for your consoles.
Now you know what to look for in a TV that you buy for the new consoles. But are you already sure which console you want? We have compared the next-gen consoles and can help you with the decision:

In Diablo 3, Season 26 has been running for several weeks now. So far, no class has reached the highest Greater Rift of level 150 solo. But two classes are very close.
What kind of fight is this? The endgame of Diablo 3 allows each player to choose for themselves during a season. Those who play competitively compete in the rankings with other players who are also active in the season. The goal is to reach the highest possible Greater Rift and complete it with a good time. This is achieved through progressively higher Paragon levels and improved gear.
Here, we want to show you a current interim ranking of the seven classes. Who is currently at the top in Season 26 and who is performing the weakest?
The ranking from Season 26 on May 20
The current ranking:
Barbarian in Greater Rift 147 with a time of ~ 12 minutes and 44 seconds
Monk in Greater Rift 147 with a time of ~14 minutes and 15 seconds
Necromancer in Greater Rift 146 with a time of ~ 14 minutes and 3 seconds
Demon Hunter in Greater Rift 145 with a time of ~ 14 minutes and 56 seconds
Witch Doctor in Greater Rift 140 with a time of ~ 14 minutes and 26 seconds
Wizard in Greater Rift 139 with a time of ~ 13 minutes and 34 seconds
Crusader in Greater Rift 139 with a time of ~ 14 minutes and 16 seconds
How did we look? We checked the rankings for the individual solo classes in the softcore mode on the EU servers (via diablo3.com). We used the overview of all sets combined. The status of the listing is from May 20 at 3:50 PM.
What stands out? Season 26 started on April 15 and we checked the ranking a few days later. The distribution then looked quite different. Barbarians were in second to last place, with Monks and Demon Hunters leading the top list.
At the beginning of the season, classes and sets that received a strong starter set right away were predominantly at the forefront. Now the field is widening further. The top four places are quite close to each other, with a tight race between Barbarian and Monk. In the higher ranks, the Paragon level of the individual players plays an increasingly significant role, making the characters even stronger or more durable.
Are you still playing Season 26, and if so, which class are you currently using in the rankings? Please share your experiences and tips here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other readers.
We will be looking at the rankings more frequently in the coming weeks and evaluating how the class distribution changes.

In the survival MMO V Rising, you receive different buffs when you consume the blood of certain enemies. MeinMMO tells you which buffs you get from different blood types and how to acquire them.
What do blood types do in V Rising? Blood types are responsible for strengthening your vampire. With them and the corresponding weapons, you can become a mage, melee fighter, or tank.
How do you obtain a blood type? When you nearly knock out an opponent, the game allows you to “feed” by pressing the “F” key.
The loading bar at the bottom of the screen shows you how long you need to feed on the creature. During this time, you can be attacked and even killed. Therefore, only feed when you are safe.

All 6 Blood Types and Their Buffs Overview
What blood types are there? There are a total of 6 blood types and blood qualities from 1 to 100% that buff you. Additionally, there is an “Undefined” type that you start with. The undefined blood type is always obtained when you die or consume creatures and items like rats and hearts.
How can you see which blood type and blood quality you are getting? When you hover your mouse cursor over a roaming enemy, you can directly see how much percentage of quality the blood provides and which blood type it corresponds to.

I → Active immediately when you take a blood type.

Can you keep a certain blood type and its buff forever? Unfortunately not. You need to keep refilling with blood in between, and that only works through items or feeding on living beings. You then take on the “undefined” blood type or the quality and blood type of the drained living being.
Thus, you must strategically adapt your blood type to the current situations and can switch and experiment at will.
