A new loot shooter on Steam reminds of Borderlands without making your potato PC sweat

On Steam and in the Epic Games Store, a new loot shooter is launching that strongly resembles Borderlands. Unlike Borderlands 4, it won’t stress your potato PC.

Which game are we talking about? The game is called Skopje ’83 – just like the capital of North Macedonia – and is a loot shooter with roguelite elements. In it, you fight your way through a decaying city filled with mutated creatures, either alone or in online co-op.

Visually, the game strongly reminds of Borderlands. Skopje ’83 adopts a similar comic look. This gives characters and environments a comic book appearance, despite its 3D graphics. But with its focus on loot, shooting, and a humorous tone, the game certainly aligns itself with the popular shooter series.  

Skopje ’83 will be released in just a few days, on November 7, 2025, for PC on Steam and in the Epic Games Store. Currently, the developers are offering a demo for the game on Steam, so you can try it for free before release if you’re unsure whether it will run on your PC.

In the trailer, Skopje ’83 showcases its gameplay and unique graphic style:

Runs on low-end PCs, unlike its predecessor

What hardware do you need for Skopje ’83?: This is shown by taking a look at the minimum system requirements listed on Steam.

  • Only a “current” quad-core CPU is required, and the graphics card should have 6 GB of VRAM. The developers do not elaborate further. Even older graphics cards like the RTX 3060 or the GTX 1060 Ti, which are considered particularly popular, have more video memory.
  • You should have at least 16 GB of RAM installed, which is not unusual for today’s standards and should be a requirement for any gaming PC.
  • An SSD is recommended for the hard drive. However, the game only requires 10 GB of free space and is therefore not comparable to modern titles that can quickly require 100 GB or more.

In comparison, the system requirements for Borderlands 4 are significantly higher despite the stylized comic look. This has still drawn criticism from players who have been complaining about the technical aspects since its release in September 2025.

Community says: The nice graphics are enough to want to play the game

What is the current situation? Some of his statements on the game’s performance have angered fans. The game is incredibly optimized,” says Pitchford in response to many fans’ criticism, blaming the players, despite many systems with high-end hardware reportedly having issues.

Fairly speaking, it must be noted that Borderlands 4 graphically offers significantly more detail than Skopje ’83. The new shooter does not deliver the exact same graphical results with better performance. The question many are asking is whether all the technical gimmicks are even necessary. “Art style is all people need to play this,” comments YouTube user Keprion on the trailer on YouTube – and people agree.

If you are looking for a new, yet similar experience to Borderlands and Randy has deemed your PC too weak, then Skopje ’83 might be a good indie alternative that you can also play on your potato.

Another shooter that aims to deliver good graphics without high-end PCs is Arc Raiders. The game is said to have not too high system requirements despite Unreal Engine 5.

A user switches from a gasoline vehicle to an electric car after over 15 years and explains why he can never go back

A user has switched to an electric car after more than 15 years. They do not want to drive a combustion engine anymore, and for a simple reason: the gasoline car suddenly feels uncomfortable and old-fashioned. An experience shared by many other users who have changed cars.

A user reports on Reddit that after over 15 years driving a combustion engine vehicle, they have switched to a fully electric vehicle. Until now, they had driven a 2011 Toyota Camry, a car that was never sold in Europe. Only the model series from 2019 made its way back to Europe.

The user mentions several points that excite them about their car:

  • The quietness of the vehicle, the instantly available torque, and the relaxed driving experience surprised them.
  • They are particularly excited about “one-pedal driving,” which initially seemed like a marketing gimmick but they have learned to appreciate it after just a few minutes.
  • The morning “fully charged” car thanks to the home wall box is very convenient in everyday life. They no longer need to visit a gas station regularly.

Why can’t they switch back? After a brief return to a current combustion engine vehicle, their partner’s car, the noise, the jerking, and the slower reaction time of the combustion engine suddenly seem uncomfortable and old-fashioned.

How do other users react? Many users share similar moments, describing that especially the quiet, vibration-free driving, the comfort of charging at home, and the direct acceleration have made a lasting impression on them. Experiences shared by another user, who has acquired an electric car.

It is often reported that perceptions of combustion engine cars significantly deteriorate after a while in an electric car: noise, vibration, sluggishness, and constant refueling are seen as annoying or at least disadvantages.

Electric cars have shorter ranges and are on average significantly more expensive

Are there also disadvantages with electric cars? Many electric vehicles offer a shorter range than combustion engine cars, which becomes particularly relevant on longer trips and during winter. Additionally, charging usually takes longer than refueling at a gas station. As a result, longer breaks need to be planned when covering long distances with an electric car. However, this does not necessarily have to be a drawback if one wants to take an extended lunch break.

Another point that should not be underestimated: electric vehicles are generally much more expensive to purchase. The battery significantly increases the price of electric cars compared to combustion engines. Currently, there is no government incentive for buying an electric car, but a bonus for electric cars from January 2026 is under discussion (via adac.de).

Even electric cars are not completely environmentally friendly: the extraction and processing of raw materials for batteries (like lithium, cobalt) can cause significant environmental problems, even if the car itself is locally emission-free.

The Japanese dealer has abandoned its plan to fully commit to electric vehicles. Instead, they have set another goal: CO₂ neutrality. To achieve this, they want to rely on a healthy mix of different technologies for vehicles. This also includes combustion engines: One of the most reliable car brands has just admitted: electric cars are not the goal

The Witcher Season 4 starts the day after tomorrow: All information about the release, trailer, and cast

Soon the Netflix-series The Witcher will enter a new season. In the following, you will find all the information about the release, the plot, and the cast – which this time must do without fan-favorite Henry Cavill.

What is The Witcher? This is the series adaptation of the popular Witcher novels and short stories by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, who, however, had little say in the matter. It tells of the adventures of the witcher Geralt of Rivia, but also those of his adopted daughter Ciri and other important characters such as the sorceresses Yennefer of Vengerberg and Triss Merigold – characters gamers also know from the games of CD Projekt Red.

The series has been produced by Netflix since season 1, where it is also available to watch. While the first season was primarily based on short stories from Sapkowski, the sequels were already devoted to the larger novels – so also season 4.

The Witcher Season 4: Start, Stream, Plot, and Cast

When is the release date for The Witcher Season 4? The wait will end on October 30, 2025. Then eight new episodes will be released, all of which will be available on Netflix at the same time. As in the previous seasons, the new episodes will each last between 45 and 70 minutes.

Who is streaming The Witcher Season 4? Just like the previous three seasons, the fourth will also be exclusively available on Netflix. This is primarily because the streaming service produces the series. Therefore, it will not be available on other services like Amazon Prime or Sky.

What is The Witcher Season 4 about? The new episodes will highlight the adventures of Geralt within the third novel called “Blood of Elves.”

Geralt is once again in search of Ciri, who now becomes part of the criminal ” Rats gang.” In the process, he encounters old and new faces while a war rages in the background. Yennefer is also on the hunt for the wizard Vilgefortz to bring him down.

Since the series ends with season 5, it is assumed that parts of the volumes “The Swallow Tower,” and perhaps even storylines from the final novel “Lady of the Lake” are included in season 4.

Cast: Who is in The Witcher Season 4? The big controversy surrounding the new season concerns none other than the lead actor. Unlike before, Henry Cavill is no longer seen as Geralt of Rivia. He is replaced by Liam Hemsworth, whose casting has already divided fans. Otherwise, fans can look forward to the return of familiar faces, but new names are also included. Among others, the following:

  • Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia
  • Freya Allan as Ciri
  • Anya Chalotra as Yennefer
  • Joey Batey as Jaskier
  • Laurence Fishburne as Regis
  • Meng’er Zhang as Milva
  • Jeremy Crawford as Yarpen Zigrin
  • Danny Woodburn as Zoltan Chivay
  • Mimî M. Khayisa as Fringilla Vigo
  • Cassie Clare as Philippa Eilhart
  • Anna Schaffe as Triss Merigold
  • Mahesu Jadu as Vilgefortz von Roggeveen
  • Bart Edwards as Emhyr Var Emreis
  • Eamon Farren as Cahir
  • Christelle Elwin as Mistle
  • Royce Pierreson as Istredd

What happens after season 4? It was already confirmed in 2024 that The Witcher will receive a fifth season. This will also be the last one – Netflix is drawing a clear line. However, when exactly the finale will be released is still unclear. It is unlikely to be before autumn 2026. Season 4 has already caused a stir: 330,000 fans of The Witcher start a petition against season 4 of the Netflix series: “Henry Cavill wanted to stay true to the source material”

Oda stated back in 2007 who the weakest member of the Straw Hat Crew in One Piece is, but he was also able to develop a powerful ability.

The Straw Hat Crew in One Piece consists of many colorful characters with different abilities. But some are stronger than others. Already in 2007, Oda declared who the weakest member of the crew is, yet that is his greatest strength.

Who is the weakest member of the Straw Hat Crew? As it stands, Luffy’s pirate crew consists of 10 members:

  • Luffy as Captain
  • Zoro as Vice-Captain
  • Nami as Navigator
  • Usopp as Marksman
  • Sanji as Cook
  • Chopper as Doctor
  • Nico Robin as Archaeologist
  • Franky as Carpenter and Technician
  • Brook as Musician
  • Jinbei as Helmsman

But it’s not just their roles on the ship that are important. As a shonen anime and manga, there is also quite a lot of fighting. Already in 2007, Oda stated in an interview that Usopp is the weakest character in the crew. But that is exactly what makes him a strong character.

CoD will face off against Battlefield once more, and another new shooter could suffer because of it

This week, two shooters celebrate important release days, but the competition from Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is hitting back.

Which games are launching this week? Not only Halloween is taking place this week, but also the release of two important shooters that fans have been eagerly awaiting. The first is the new Battle Royale mode of Battlefield 6.

With Battlefield REDSEC, a standalone, free Battle Royale mode launches on October 28, which can especially become a significant competitor to Call of Duty: Warzone. At the same time, Season 1 of Battlefield 6 starts, enticing players with an update.

In addition to the major release from Battlefield, there is another shooter hoping for big numbers this week. The developers of ARC Raiders already achieved a notable success during the beta with nearly 190,000 players, which they would like to repeat at the official release on October 30. But Call of Duty has something to say about that.

Here you can watch the trailer for ARC Raiders:

Call of Duty is preparing for an attack

What does CoD have planned? The developers of Call of Duty do not want to leave the week to the competition without a fight and have therefore announced a new campaign. From October 28 to November 3, 2025, there will be a free test week for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Players can play the shooter’s multiplayer mode as well as the zombie mode for free during this period. This also includes the new maps of the game and the Halloween event “The Haunting.” Fans can immerse themselves in the zombie worlds fitting for Halloween or duel as usual in multiplayer.

How are fans reacting to the campaign? Fans can see through Call of Duty’s plan to undermine the important releases of the competition with their free week. In the comments on the announcement of the campaign on X.com, many users are leaving playful comments:

  • @stonesandsnakes: “Battlefield seems to have scared you.”
  • @AkiraJkr1: “I can tell this is another lazy but unsuccessful attempt to sabotage the player counts of a particular game, but I can’t prove it…”
  • @arcadllama: “Looks like Battlefield is making them scared again, LOL.”
  • @EthralTV: “It’s really hilarious how hard you’re trying to stop the bleeding due to the success of Battlefield 6.”
  • @ModernWarzone: “We’ll be hanging out at RedSec, friends.”

The own community of Call of Duty seems to be more interested in the new competition. There are also comments that new hackers will return to the game during the free period, making the competition even more attractive for some players.

This week is particularly interesting for fans of shooters, which is why it’s understandable that Call of Duty wants to score points with a campaign. However, for most players, curiosity about the competition will likely prevail, especially since it delivers new content.

Because you ask AI so many stupid questions, data centers are now buying turbines from airplanes to provide enough energy

To operate their massive AI data centers, tech giants are now relying on old aircraft engines. While they provide power quickly, they also create new environmental and supply issues.

Why is the AI industry turning to aircraft engines? The demand for power for AI data centers has skyrocketed in recent years. However, many of these new “hyperscale” centers often wait years for a regular grid connection. That’s why companies like OpenAI and xAI are now opting for a rather unusual solution: decommissioned aircraft engines converted into mobile power plants.

Start video
Slate Auto presents new truck with electric motor

These so-called aeroderivative gas turbines originally come from aviation, but have long been a staple of mobile power supply – for instance, on offshore platforms or in military technology. They provide rapid, modular, and relatively independent energy.

A GE LM6000 turbine can deliver 50 megawatts in under ten minutes (via Gevernova). ProEnergy even offers complete systems on trailers that can be operational in less than 30 days (via TomsHardware).

A GE LM6000 turbine (Source: GE)

How significant is the rush for these turbines? Demand has reached historic proportions. According to Bloomberg and Siemens Energy, over 60% of all gas turbine orders in the USA are directly linked to AI data centers.

Manufacturers like GEVernova and Siemens Energy report delivery times extending to 2028 or even 2030 – many companies are now paying millions just to secure production slots (via TomsHardware).

OpenAI’s partner, Crusoe Energy, recently ordered 29 LM2500XPRESS turbines to provide one gigawatt of power for the “Stargate” project – a kind of mobile jet-driven power plant in West Texas (via Tom’s Hardware). Even Elon Musk’s xAI is relying on methane turbines for its new supercomputer – which has already led to initial environmental conflicts (via Tom’s Hardware).

Stopgap Solution with Significant Environmental Consequences

What issues does the use of turbines bring? The short-term solution comes at a high cost – environmentally and infrastructurally. Even if modern turbines are equipped with catalysts, they emit CO₂, nitrogen oxides, and other pollutants.

In Tennessee, residents have already protested against xAI’s methane turbines – some facilities are reportedly operating without full permits (via SELC & Politico & Times).

What happens next? The forced increase in turbine orders demonstrates how overwhelmed the existing infrastructure is with the AI boom.

The usage behavior of AI-based everyday applications like ChatGPT has become an integral part of the digital lives of many. The current JIM Study (Youth, Information, Media) shows that 62% of youths use AI applications like ChatGPT – most frequently in the context of school/homework (65%), for fun (52%), or when searching for information (43%).

AI usage is also omnipresent in companies. According to the market research institute bitkom Research, for the first time, more than half (57%) of companies are dealing with AI. One in five companies (20%) is already using AI. A year ago, it was only 15%.

While GPU production by Nvidia and others has ramped up due to the continuous expansion of use, the expansion of energy supply remains a massive bottleneck. This means that not all technological advancements progress at the same speed and can, therefore, only be begrudgingly equipped with the necessary supply.

The transformation of digital infrastructure brings not only technological advancements but also massive challenges for the environment and network stability. As the world’s data centers upgrade with jet turbines to satisfy the AI hunger, AI models themselves are also evolving rapidly – sometimes even too quickly: Experts have bypassed CAPTCHAs using ChatGPT

To achieve a hidden success in WoW Legion Remix, you have to grind really hard

One of the most challenging achievements in World of Warcraft requires hardcore grinding in a short time.

Meanwhile, there are many thousands of achievements in World of Warcraft, and with the “Legion Remix” mode, quite a few have been added. However, not all of them are obvious. For an achievement, you must reach the absolute limit and gather the maximum power that is possible in Legion Remix.

Start video
WoW Legion Remix: This insane time travel works

What is this achievement? The achievement “Finally in Infinity” (“Putting the Finite in Infinite”) is actually a feat of strength – like all achievements in WoW Legion Remix. That means there are no achievement points for the completion. However, there is no other reward associated with this feat. It is a purely prestige achievement that is forever immortalized in your account.

To unlock the feat of strength, one of two conditions must be met:

  • Reach the maximum with the artifact weapon, so 999 points in the last talent “Limits Unbound”.
  • Successfully complete a mythic keystone dungeon of level 49 or higher.

Both conditions are quite tough and will likely take a lot of time.

How long does it take? Those who want to farm the achievement should prepare for a significant time investment. Just a few days ago, the first players reached the limit of 999 – but they reportedly spent several days playing over 12 hours a day in dungeons that they completed in record time of just a few minutes.

One must be very focused and repeat rather monotonous gameplay content over a long period to reach the maximum particularly quickly.

If you have more time, just casually visit a few raids every day and only collect a few levels per day. If you can keep that up every day, you’ll eventually reach your goal.

What is the easiest solution? If you’re not keen on the long grind, you’re probably better off hoping for a few over-motivated friends. Because instead of maximizing at level 999 on the artifact weapon, it might be significantly faster to just complete a dungeon at level “49”. However, you do need a well-prepared team, but typically, 3 very good characters can easily “carry” 2 others.

Will it get any easier? Yes. If you’re not in a hurry, you don’t have to rush through the feat of strength. Because in the upcoming phases of Legion Remix, there will be even more Eternal Knowledge, which in turn increases the acquisition of Eternal Power.

Since there will also be more raids available and Blizzard has even announced catch-up mechanics, the achievement should be significantly easier to achieve in the coming months than it is now. By Christmas at the latest, you should be able to achieve the success with less effort, if you value that.
After Christmas, it’s likely already time for Midnight, as the release date has apparently been leaked.

Anime MMORPG Blue Protocol: Star Resonance finally brings challenging dungeons, but players say: Their teammates ruin the fun

In the anime MMORPG Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, the new Master Dungeons have recently been released. However, they are so tough that the teammates become a problem.

What are these dungeons? In the anime MMORPG Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, new content is consistently unlocked through a time-gating system. Recently, alongside the first raid, the Master difficulty level for the dungeons was introduced.

This difficulty level upgrades the existing 6 dungeons to a new level, adding new areas, minibosses, events, and altered boss mechanics. Players are challenged not only by the increased strength of the opponents but also by wipe mechanics.

The reward is the new level 60 equipment, which replaces the level 40 equipment from the first two and a half weeks of gameplay. However, the new difficulty level is quite tough on the players.

Here you can watch the trailer for the anime MMORPG:

Trouble with teammates

How is it going for the players? Generally, players are happy about the new unlocks. The challenging master mode of the dungeons is a welcome change. However, one thing bothers the players: their teammates.

In a post on Reddit, players explain how annoying it is to play the new mode with a randomly assembled group. While there is a minimum equipment requirement for teammates, this does not replace skill. Players write on Reddit:

  • NaoXehn: “I played the new dungeons continuously and must say, this is probably the worst dungeon experience of my entire gaming career, although I have spent thousands of hours in MMORPGs like World of Warcraft. The dungeons themselves are fun; the problem is the players. […]”
  • Ok-Acanthocephala442: “That’s right, five dungeons went smoothly with guild members. After that, I joined random groups three times, but I couldn’t finish a single one because no one listens when I explain what we should do.”
  • Exotic-Blacksmith-84: “You must not forget the random players who refuse to use revival items and stay dead the whole time or immediately die again after I revive them.”

What solution is there? In Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, there is no scaling of dungeons or bosses. Accordingly, the game modes become easier as better equipment is collected. While this doesn’t help when players don’t play mechanics that lead to a wipe, at some point the dungeons will be completed quickly.

In the post, many players also advise simply completing the new dungeons with guild members. This makes communication easier, and ideally, you might even make new friendships.

The Master Dungeons will later have additional difficulty levels. If it is currently too easy for anyone, they will be challenged further in the future.

Blue Protocol: Star Resonance continuously delights players with new content that comes into play through time-gating. However, the equipment of one’s character must be continuously improved. Luckily, there are free items from the developers for this: Blue Protocol: Star Resonance Codes – All active promo codes of the anime MMORPG in October 2025

After 150 hours in Battlefield 6 I predict: These 7 weapons will be particularly strong in the new Battle Royale

Today marks the start of the Battle Royale for Battlefield 6. MeinMMO editor Dariusz Müller has taken another look at all the weapons in the shooter and is considering which could be particularly strong in the new mode. Here are his top 7.

How is this selection composed? Each of us knows the competition between Battlefield and Call of Duty. Without having played the battle royale mode yet, I assume it will strongly resemble aspects of Call of Duty: Warzone – after all, there remains a competitive situation between the two franchises.

In Warzone, you typically have two primary weapons. Players have relied on the same combinations for years:

  • Two fully automatic primary weapons with different strengths, one for short and one for medium to long distances
    • For example, 1x assault rifle + 1x SMG
  • A sniper rifle with a primary weapon that can win gunfights at 40 to 50 meters distance
    • For example, 1x sniper rifle + 1x assault rifle

So in this selection, you first find the weapons for short distance, then the weapons for medium to long distance, followed by those that are particularly suitable for sniper support. Finally, the recommended sniper rifle.

The potential meta weapons for short distance

These two weapons are particularly good in combination with a fully automatic rifle for greater distances. However, since the SMGs in Battlefield 6 are generally very strong and versatile, they can also be combined with a sniper rifle.

SCW-10

What makes the SCW-10 so strong? The SCW-10 has an extremely strong time-to-kill and a low recoil. The only SMG that can match the TTK of the SCW-10 is the KV9. However, due to the higher rate of fire, the KV9 has the more difficult ammunition management. With the SCW-10, you won’t be out of ammo as often in front of enemies – even though it also standardly has low shots.

Thanks to its high damage, the SCW-10 has no noticeably lower time-to-kill than the KV9 despite the lower rate of fire, which is why it is currently the strongest SMG.

SGX

What makes the SGX so strong? If you were expecting the KV9 here, I must disappoint you. The lower magazine combined with the high rate of fire and average damage could become a problem in battle royale mode if there’s really some kind of shield or armor.

The SGX can have up to 40 rounds in the magazine, is also very easy to control, and has the third-best time-to-kill at relatively high rate of fire at short distances due to average damage. Plus, you don’t have to unlock it in a complicated way.

The potential meta weapons for medium to long distance

The weapons in this category excel at medium to long distances and can be well combined with SMGs or sniper rifles to compensate for each other’s weaknesses.

SG 553R

What makes the SG so strong? The SG 553R is another all-rounder among the carbines. The mediocre rate of fire and high damage provide the highest damage-per-second value of all carbines – slightly better than the M4A1. Nevertheless, the recoil is not too high to cause difficulties at greater distances.

At the distances where you have problems with the SG, switching to a sniper rifle could be sensible.

AK-205

What makes the AK-205 so strong? The carbine has almost no recoil and is extremely easy to control. This makes it not only beginner-friendly but also extremely dangerous at longer distances – especially with ammunition that increases the headshot multiplier. The better ammunition offsets the standardly lower time-to-kill.

What weaknesses does the AK have? Due to the low time-to-kill, you are dependent on headshots and the improved headshot multiplier. This can quickly become a problem at short distances when your opponents fully exploit the shooter’s movement. The SCW-10 SMG can provide relief here.

RPKM

What makes the RPK so strong? The RPK deals a lot of damage and can eliminate enemies by headshot in Battlefield 6 with only two hits using synthetic ammunition. While it is expected that in battle royale there will be some kind of armor or shield like traditional armor plates, even then the RPK can eliminate enemies at long distances with relatively few shots due to its relatively low recoil.

The RPK could pair well with fast-firing SMGs or sniper rifles.

KORD 6P67

What makes the Kord so strong? The KORD has a high rate of fire with relatively low recoil. This makes it a solid choice even at medium to long distances.

The biggest competitors of the KORD are likely the M4A1 and M433. However, both have a stronger recoil, which you will especially feel from 50 meters. Since weapons that are played as support to a sniper rifle often need to perform at distances of 40–60 meters, the KORD has a slight edge over the M4 variants. The lower damage is offset by the fact that you can more easily hit the critical bullet.

Battlefield 6 potential KORD Loadout

The potential meta sniper rifle

Which sniper rifle should you play? The PSR. It is the third sniper rifle that you need to unlock through challenges.

How the sniper rifle choice was made: The significant difference among sniper rifles, aside from the rate of fire, is primarily the so-called Sweet Spot: Each sniper rifle has a different “perfect range” at which it can kill with a single hit to the torso in Battlefield 6. While we do not yet know how important the Sweet Spot will be in battle royale and whether it is possible to take down enemies with one shot from the sniper rifle, the Sweet Spot still played the biggest role in the evaluation.

What makes the PSR so strong? The Sweet Spot on the PSR is significantly further away than on the other sniper rifles. It is at about 100 to 150 meters. Thus, the PSR offers the maximum distance at which you can inflict maximum damage.

The Sweet Spot of the M2010ESR is about 80–120 meters. That is relatively close and a disadvantage for the M2010ESR. At 80 meters, it is comparatively easy to hit an opponent’s head. You are not necessarily dependent on fatal body hits there and could therefore use the PSR without having a disadvantage.

If you do happen to hit just the body, you could switch to the RPK to finish off your opponent quickly. However, with the ESR, you cannot switch to another weapon to take the last hit on your opponent from over 120 meters – that is usually just too far for precise fire from fully automatic weapons.

Why are certain weapons not included? You should find a selection of weapons here that, in my initial assessment, could be particularly strong. Consequently, the list is relatively limited and does not include 20 different weapons. Of course, there are other strong options that could also become meta in battle royale.

Other candidates for being a meta weapon are, of course, the M4A1 or the assault rifle L85A3. The KTS100 MK8 or SL-9 are other weapons that have virtually no recoil and are also worth considering. Personally, I also enjoy playing the QBZ-192 carbine. Which weapons ultimately prevail remains to be seen.

If you are really diligent in Pokémon GO now, you will level up much easier later

Recently, the leveling system in Pokémon GO has been revamped. An ongoing event can help you fulfill a new requirement more easily.

The second part of the Halloween event 2025 is currently ongoing in Pokémon GO. It started on Monday, October 27, 2025, at 10:00 AM and runs until Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 8:00 PM. In addition to the Cup Pokémon Fatalitee, there are also several costumed and regular monsters in the event.

Two of the monsters in the event can help you if you want to meet the requirements for levels 71 to 80. In addition to experience points, you will need to fulfill other tasks as well.

2 Monsters, 2 Medals

What kind of monsters are they? In the event, there is also Pikachu in a costumed variant and the pumpkin Pokémon Irrbis, which has a unique feature. The monster comes in 4 different sizes. You can easily tell what size an Irrbis is in the game before you click on it.

How can the monsters help? An important new feature in levels 71 to 80 are the Platinum medals. You need a certain number of Platinum medals for each level to advance to the next level. For the new maximum level 80, you even need 50 Platinum medals.

Among these, there are 2 medals where you can make progress more easily during the current event. For the medal “Collector of Giant Pokémon”, you need to catch a total of 500 XXL Pokémon to reach Platinum. So, catch the large Irrbis variants in the event.

As Trainer Time-Relative-5360 reported on Reddit, you can also trade an XXL Irrbis with a friend to gain another progress point in the medal. By trading, you can also trigger the evolution without candy cost and thus gain another point in the medal. Overall, you can achieve 3 progress points per XXL Irrbis with your friend.

The 2nd medal for which you can make progress in the event is “Pikachu Fan”. Here, you need to catch a total of 1,000 Pikachu to obtain Platinum. Since within the event Pikachu is one of the monsters that appears more frequently in the wild, you should catch all specimens you find.

If you use the event to achieve significant progress in the medals, it can save you time later if you have not yet collected enough Platinum medals.

Not only the Halloween event is waiting for you in Pokémon GO in the near future. The coming month is again packed with various events, raids, and other content. If you want to know what they are, feel free to take a look at our overview of all events in November 2025 in Pokémon GO.

Nike wants you to run faster without exerting yourself – Brings futuristic shoes that help you run

Nike is developing a motorized shoe that is supposed to assist you while walking and jogging. Commuters and non-professionals are the target audience for the project.

What exactly is behind Nike’s new shoes? With Project Amplify, Nike has officially introduced its first motorized running shoe. According to its own statement, it is the world’s first “powered footwear system” for walking and jogging. The idea behind it: People should be able to move faster, further, and with less effort – similar to an e-bike for the feet (via The Verge).

The system is based on a combination of robust mechanics and intelligent control. It consists of:

  • a motorized unit with drive belt
  • a lightweight, rechargeable battery
  • a carbon fiber plate in the shoe itself
  • and a flexible cuff that wraps around the lower calf

Together with the robotics company Dephy Inc., Nike developed a prototype specifically tailored for people who walk at a pace between 10 and 12 minutes per mile (approximately 6.2 minutes per kilometer, or about 9 km/h) – not necessarily serious athletes, but rather everyday joggers or commuters. According to Nike, the system is designed to operate so seamlessly that it feels “like a second pair of calves” (via Nike).

According to a recent press report, over 400 athletes have taken more than 2.4 million steps with over nine hardware iterations during the testing phase. However, the product is still in the early stages of development. A market launch is only planned “in the coming years” (via Nike).

Not a real innovation

Why the idea is not new – and what the Moonwalkers do differently? As futuristic and “cyberpunk” as Nike’s concept looks, it is not the first idea of motorized shoes that aim to make everyday life easier and faster.

The American startup Shift Robotics already presented the so-called Moonwalkers in 2022: a type of “shoe attachment with motor drive” that was supposed to significantly increase walking comfort.

Unlike Nike’s solution, the Moonwalkers were not a shoe system with a supportive motor, but rather motorized rolling platforms that were strapped onto normal shoes. They featured:

  • small electric wheels underfoot
  • AI-based control of step length and speed
  • 3x faster walking speed
Moonwalkers (Source: Shiftrobotics)

The concept was funded via Kickstarter and also targeted commuters and everyday users – with a top speed of around 11 km/h (via Galileo).

In comparison to the Moonwalkers, it becomes clear that Nike is taking a more integrated approach. Instead of an eye-catching motorized rolling system, Project Amplify offers a seamless extension of a classic running shoe.

A major sticking point remains the price: The Moonwalkers cost a whopping $1,400, or about €1,320. And it remains unclear where Nike’s price will settle in the future (if the prototype actually goes into production) – it is unlikely to be cheap.

The development of everyday accelerators has become much more prominent in recent years. Recently, a French company also presented an alternative to the e-bike that can reach speeds of up to 120 km/h: With an electric tricycle, you can achieve speeds of up to 120 km/h with pedals

A terrible villain from Game of Thrones returns in the new series, but suddenly he is a cute baby

The universe of Game of Thrones will soon be enriched by a series that will feature a despised character from the original. The showrunner already has a wicked idea for it.

Attention Spoiler: In the article, we reveal details about the character Walder Frey and the upcoming series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. If you don’t want to know anything about it, you should stop reading here.

Which character is it about? If you have seen Game of Thrones or read the underlying books, you probably remember Walder Frey. The character first appears in Season 1 and soon makes a name for himself as a pretty nasty guy.

One of the highlights that no reader or viewer will ever forget is the “Red Wedding,” where many characters lose their lives, including some main characters. The massacre takes place at the court of Walder Frey and under his command and is even based on historical events.

So it’s not surprising that the character is equally hated and feared. In the upcoming series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Walder Frey will appear again – but not as the ruthless lord we have known him so far.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms shows the dynamic hero duo in the new trailer

From Murderer to Innocent Baby

What does the appearance look like? The spin-off to the main series is set to premiere in 2026 and will consist of three seasons, each based on stories by George R.R. Martin. It tells the story of knight Ser Duncan and his squire “Egg”. You can find all the information collected on MeinMMO.

The plot takes place about 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones. Accordingly, Walder Frey here is not a ruling lord, but much younger. More specifically, he is likely just a baby, because in Game of Thrones the character is initially 90 years old.

The showrunner of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Ira Parker, has already thought about how Walder Frey could appear in the new series. In conversation with Polygon, he shared his thoughts:

My favorite idea is, and this appears only in the third book, that there is a little Walder Frey. I have this hopefully really funny idea, for which people will probably kill me. But this idea that something happens, like a horse cart goes out of control and this baby is about to be killed, and Duncan intervenes and saves little Walder Frey.

Ira Parker

The idea has its charm, considering the terrible acts the character commits as an adult. After all, it’s hard to be angry with a baby, especially when it looks really cute. Nevertheless, this raises the question of how the further course of the story would have looked if the baby had died that day.

One thing is certain: many other characters would have survived, and the “Red Wedding” would not have existed in this form. Duncan’s act was therefore well-intentioned but ultimately caused great suffering in Westeros.

By the way, the idea of incorporating Walder Frey into the story is even based on the literary source. It features a four-year-old boy, whom George R.R. Martin confirmed in a post on livejournal.com is Frey. However, this is just a small guest appearance on the side.

How large the role of the character will be in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms cannot be estimated at this time. However, it will appear, and it will also be exciting to see which other characters from Game of Thrones will make their return – provided they were alive 90 years earlier. The series adaptation made the “Red Wedding” even more dramatic: A character from Game of Thrones made a grave mistake – the consequences were even worse in the series than in the book

Hardware company provides such poor tech support that they apologize and completely discontinue a product

A hardware manufacturer has caused a stir with a questionable support recommendation: users should modify their 16-pin connector on their own. After severe criticism, the company is now taking action, apologizing, and halting the production of the faulty model.

What was the problem? A customer had contacted the hardware manufacturer Cooler Master because the connector of their power supply did not properly click into their graphics card with a recessed connector. 

Instead of offering a suitable replacement, the support employee advised the customer to remove the two clips on the housing of the connector and break it. This was supposed to convert the right-angle connector into a straight one, essentially a DIY repair on a power cable.

Start video
Chef ruined his company in 59 seconds on Twitch – What happened to him?

Cooler Master announces new safety standards and replacement cables

Why is the support’s response so problematic? Recommending users modify the connector by breaking it is not only unprofessional but can also be quite dangerous. It does not solve the problem and creates new risks.

In the worst case, this advice could have led to overheating, short circuits, or permanent hardware damage. The risk of fire is also a significant concern, especially with a safety-critical component like a power connector.

How has the company responded? Cooler Master has officially addressed massive accusations from the community. According to a report from Tom’s Hardware, the company stated that all support staff have been instructed to no longer recommend modifications to such connectors. 

Furthermore, they plan to discontinue the production of the already delivered right-angle 12V-2×6 connector (often also called 16-pin). The statement, which was published in response to a report by Igor’s Lab, also announces that Cooler Master will implement internal quality assurance measures and new safety standards.

The manufacturer admitted that the right-angle connector was “very problematic,” especially with graphics cards with a recessed 12V-2×6 connector. However, the company emphasizes that they are not aware of any specific damage case directly related to such a modification.

What changes is Cooler Master making? According to the statement sent to Igor’s Lab, the company intends to make the following changes:

  • All upcoming power supplies will be delivered with a straight 12V-2×6 connector.
  • Existing users with the problematic right-angle connector can receive a replacement cable with a straight connector if needed.
  • Additionally, a two-color indication / color coding will be introduced on the connector (e.g., purple-coated contact tips) so that users can recognize whether the connector is inserted correctly.

For PC enthusiasts, this incident is a warning signal: those who have installed power supplies with the questionable connector cable should check whether the connector is seated correctly or if a replacement is available. The incident also highlights how essential precise mechanical compatibility between power supply and graphics card has become in modern high-performance models.

How critical the issue of power supply is for modern graphics cards is highlighted by a recent case: even small design flaws or incompatible connectors can have severe consequences. An expensive GPU has melted twice, and the community suspects an age-old problem behind it.

Survey on Pokémon GO shows: You are really generous when it comes to gyms

We wanted to know in a survey how you handle gyms in Pokémon GO. Here are the results!

That was the survey: Recently, there was a discussion in the Reddit community about Pokémon GO whether to wait until the current defenders have held the gym for 8 hours before taking it over.

Only then would they receive the daily maximum of coins. If you kick them out before, they only get a fraction of what you can earn in coins during the day.

This is an “unwritten law” that some Pokémon GO communities partially follow and take seriously.

On the other hand, there are of course players who either do not know such a rule or simply ignore it. But after all, the game is also partly about conquering gyms for your team.

We wanted to know from you: How do you treat the subject? And the result was surprisingly clear.

Over 50% of participants wait 8 hours

This is how you voted: In the article about the unwritten law in Pokémon GO, we called for a survey among our readership. We wanted to know if you are aware of, follow, or ignore the rule.

As of now, a total of 2,032 of you have cast a vote! It’s time to look at the results:

  • 51% and thus 1,041 votes were for “I adhere to the ‘unwritten law’ and wait 8 hours.”
  • 22% voted for “I’ve never heard of it and just take over gyms.”
  • 16% said: “I take the gym even though I know the ‘unwritten law.’”
  • And 11% said: “I’ve never heard of it, but I will try it.”

It’s an exciting result, considering that in the world of Pokémon, it’s always about becoming “the very best.” But apparently, that works very well too when everyone makes sure to get their coins. That would surely please Team Harmony as well.

In Pokémon GO, it’s of course not all about who takes a gym when and how. The majority of the game is about catching various Pokémon. And they usually come into the game during new events. So also in the coming month! If you want to know what’s coming up: Here you can find all events in November 2025 in Pokémon GO.

All divine gods from The Elder Scrolls in the Power Ranking – Who is the most powerful?

The Elder Scrolls provides plenty of material for lore fans. Especially regarding the creation of the game world, as it would not have been possible without the sacred gods. Often, people pray to these figures and hear legends about their forms, but only a few know how powerful they are.

How is the ranking structured? In the world of The Elder Scrolls, there are two types of gods – the Aedra (sacred gods) and the Daedra (selfish gods). In our list, we refer to the 9 existing sacred gods who contributed to the creation of Mundus (the game world and the universe of mortals) and sacrificed themselves.

Only eight sacred gods are actually documented, but we also count Talos as the ninth, as he has a strong presence in Skyrim and is indispensable. The criteria of our ranking mainly focus on the functions and powers the gods possess. We compare these and evaluate them against each other.

If you have objections to our placement, feel free to suggest changes in the comments – we look forward to it! But now let’s get to our ranking.

Rank 9: Dibella – The Goddess of Beauty

Elder-Scrolls-Dibella
Zenithar (Source: en.uesp.net)

Dibella represents beauty and art and is usually worshiped when it comes to sexual interactions between mortal beings. Naturally, she holds an important place regarding the culture of various peoples in Nirn, but when comparing her influence on a cosmological and physical level with that of the other gods, she falls somewhat short.

Rank 8: Zenithar – The God of Work

Elder-Scrolls-Zenithar
Zenithar (Source: en.uesp.net)

Zenithar is known for work, economy, and craftsmanship in Nirn. His values create order in society regarding the structures of everyday life. For the many peoples in The Elder Scrolls, he is certainly indispensable, but his power has more logical aspects that steer life towards harmonious paths. Without work and economy, there would of course be no functioning civilizations.

Rank 7: Mara – The Goddess of Love

Elder-Scrolls-Mara
Mara (Source: en.uesp.net)

Those who wish to marry and procreate cannot bypass Mara. She is the mother of love and responsible for the growth of Nirn. If you now wonder why Dibella is not the same as Mara, you overlook a fine difference: Dibella represents more the fun and pleasure in the sexual lives of the peoples. Mara, on the other hand, is actively there to help civilizations grow through love, fidelity, and procreation.

Rank 6: Arkay – The God of Life and Death

Elder-Scrolls-Arkay
Arkay (Source: en.uesp.net)

Life and death are essential in the mortal world, as they provide balance within civilizations. Arkay is the god who oversees this change and ensures that beings who are dead remain dead. He also manages the souls of the deceased peoples. One might think of him as the master of undertakers. Since he merely oversees this natural process and does not actually initiate it, he takes rank 6 in our ranking.

Rank 5: Julianos – The God of Knowledge

Elder-Scrolls-Julianos
Julianos (Source: en.uesp.net)

Those who are curious will sooner or later turn to Julianos. The god of knowledge, laws, and magic is a beacon for flourishing civilizations because without knowledge there can be no progress. For many mortals, he is therefore hardly dispensable, as he is also associated with fields such as alchemy, sorcery, and enchanting.

Rank 4: Stendarr – The God of Justice

Elder-Scrolls-Stendarr
Stendarr (Source: en.uesp.net)

Surely you have already come across the guardians of Stendarr. These paladins and their god fight for justice, as they ensure that Daedra are kept in check and all things occult are eliminated – for the benefit of mortals, of course. Even though he is not such a powerful figure, Stendarr ensures justice and order, and thus balance in the respective civilizations.

Rank 3: Kynareth – The Goddess of the Elements

Elder-Scrolls-Kynareth
Kynareth (Source: en.uesp.net)

Kynareth could be seen as Mother Nature, as she is the goddess of air, sky, wind, and elements. Her power ensures that life in Nirn is even possible. This fact alone makes her one of the most powerful goddesses in The Elder Scrolls.

Rank 2: Talos – The God of War and the People

Elder-Scrolls-Talos
Talos (Source: en.uesp.net)

Talos is a contentious topic in the world of The Elder Scrolls. He was not significantly involved in the creation of Mundus, as he only emerged in the Third Era. It all started with Hjalti Earlybeard, a mortal general of the Second Era.

The Greybeards called him to High Hrothgar to crown him as Dragonborn and to teach him the way of the Voice. Later, he fought further battles as a general, even in Cyrodiil. He also helped his king, Cuhlecain, to the imperial throne. However, the success was only short-lived: Cuhlecain died in an assassination and Hjalti Earlybeard had his throat slit – but he survived.

As Tiber Septim, he took the throne and aimed to unite Tamriel. With the help of the Numidium (a giant Dwemer robot), Tiber Septim managed to unite Tamriel and crowned himself emperor of Tamriel.

After his death, he was glorified by the Nords for his successes as Talos. Only in the Fourth Era did other peoples begin to see him as a god, except for the Thalmor (a group of High Elves). Even though he is not part of the Aedra, his achievements and efforts in Tamriel have ensured that he could achieve godhood.

It is also rumored that Tiber Septim was one of the three Shezarrine (mortal reincarnations or aspects of Lorkhan). Lorkhan was the one who initiated the idea of Mundus. However, before Tamriel was united, the Aedra Auriel and Trinimac defeated him. One might say that Talos is a reincarnation of Lorkhan so that he also finds a place in the circle of sacred gods.

Rank 1: Akatosh – The Dragon God of Time

Elder-Scrolls-Akatosh
Akatosh

Akatosh, also known as the Dragon God of Time, is the most powerful of the nine gods. He is the protector of Mundus, and without his powers, the Daedra would have an easy time invading this world and causing chaos and destruction.

Before Akatosh existed, the universe was in a chaotic, timeless state of the Dawn Era. Through him, Mundus could maintain a linear timeline for life to develop. Thus, he represents the anchor of the world that keeps everything running.

Accordingly, he uses his power to keep the dangers of the Daedra at bay and is not averse to intervening in order to ensure the safety of the many peoples in Tamriel. In Oblivion, he took the form of a dragon, defeated Mehrunes Dagon, and sealed the Daedric Prince’s barrier forever.

No existing god (except Talos) has had such a powerful influence in Tamriel as Akatosh, which is why he belongs in first place with his power.

Of course, there are other gods in Tamriel, but they do not belong to the sacred circle of those worshiped by mortals.

The lore of The Elder Scrolls is very complex, and those who want to know what is happening in Nirn must speak extensively with the inhabitants and read books. Do you also know about the lore, or have you just joined us? The Elder Scrolls: Online is a strong title if you want to enter the world of Tamriel, especially if you love MMORPGs: Starting today, it is particularly worthwhile to play The Elder Scrolls Online because something is happening that has never happened in 11 years

World of Warcraft will be released on the next Xbox – WoW finally on console

After endless rumors, it is now true: World of Warcraft is coming to console. But not in the way you think.

For many years it was a rumor and speculation. Basically, since 2014, there have been suspicions that World of Warcraft would eventually come to console. Now, Windows Central has confirmed it. Because WoW will appear on Xbox – but not quite as you might think.

Start video
WoW Midnight – The opening cinematic of the new addon shows the attack on Silvermoon

What has been revealed? In an article from Windows Central, details about the next Xbox console generation were revealed. It was also explained that some games will be playable on it that, at first glance, do not seem to fit. Among them: World of Warcraft.

WoW on Xbox – Just like all other PC games

What’s the catch? Those who think that World of Warcraft is coming to console and that the many signs have been validated are only partly correct. Because there isn’t really a dedicated console version of WoW.

Instead, the next Xbox generation will simply have full Windows integration, making it extremely close to a PC. Anyone who wants can open different platforms and launchers on the Xbox – such as Steam or Battle.net. Thus, the next Xbox is basically a PC and all PC games will be available to the console.

When will it happen? When the next generation of the Xbox console will be released is currently still uncertain. Therefore, there is also no set date for when WoW will come to console.
This will at least fulfill part of the hopes of many gamers, allowing them to experience Azeroth – at least in some way – on a console. Whether a “real” version for PlayStation or even a Nintendo console will follow remains to be seen.

If Astarion in Baldur’s Gate 3 was just too attractive for you, you will soon hear him as a space locust on Steam

Starfinder, an upcoming role-playing game for Steam, not only learns from Baldur’s Gate 3 but can now also boast one of its stars.

Uh, what? Neil Newbon, the voice of Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3, takes on the role of the companion Preach in the upcoming role-playing game Starfinder: Afterlight. The cRPG is based on the sci-fi offshoot of Pathfinder, one of the biggest competitors to Dungeons & Dragons.

Preach is a Shirren, grasshopper-like creatures. However, he scores not only with his appearance and Neil Newbon’s voice but also with the charm of a single father: Preach is dedicated to protecting the “Golden Child,” a cute larva-like creature.

What kind of game is this? Starfinder: Afterlight will be a role-playing game from the Spanish indie studio Epictellers. The developers have previously announced that they will learn from Baldur’s Gate 3 and place a strong emphasis on companions.

Player decisions should have noticeable consequences: If you are mean, the companion Kole loses his good mood; if you go too far, the Companions will even leave you completely.

To make companions truly shine, they enlisted high-profile support from experienced voice actors, whom you may have heard in games like Overwatch, Borderlands 4, and Dying Light: The Beast.

Before Newbon was announced as a cast member, he had already been involved as a voice director, proving indispensable to the developers in this role. In a short teaser on YouTube, you can get your first impression of his performance:

You can support Starfinder: Afterlight on Kickstarter until November 6, 2025. Although the original goal of 75,000 euros has been exceeded by more than 500,000 €, there remains one last stretch goal: If 600,000 euros are reached, the role-playing game will be fully voiced, right down to the last NPC.

However, it will still take a little while before you can experience the fantastic voice acting: An early access is planned for next year, with the release set for 2027.

In Battlefield 6, the pilots are currently dissatisfied. Their favorite vehicles are having issues and are being neglected.

Why are pilots asking for more love for aircraft? Jets and helicopters are currently in a difficult state in Battlefield 6. There are many strong ways to shoot the aircraft out of the sky. Some of them ignore all countermeasures, some destroy jets and helis with just one hit, and others strike without warning. Now, the pilots are demanding changes.

The content creator SilkOCE, who is regarded as one of the top 10 pilots in Battlefield, and has already achieved over 9,000 kills using only aircraft, posted a whole list of problems on X on October 24, which he believes need to be addressed.

The creator’s post received around 1,200 likes and was then shared on Reddit, where it also gathered over 2,700 upvotes and almost 1,500 comments.

Many problems, but no solution in sight

In the patch notes for the upcoming update on October 28, 2025, the various issues with aircraft are not addressed, while infantry players can look forward to news on topics such as the random spread of firearms (cf. X). Players like Silk are therefore asking for more love for their favorite toys.

What are the problems that need to be fixed? Silk lists several issues with aircraft gameplay that should be tackled by the developers:

  • The rockets of the stealth jet ignore countermeasures (flares).
  • Every laser-guided rocket ignores countermeasures (flares).
  • The warning system of the aircraft does not indicate when rockets from the stealth jet are fired at targets.
  • Radar is not functioning.
  • Refilling ammunition reserves is tied to a cooldown that is shared with the entire team.
  • The TTK (Time-to-Kill) of all aircraft is too fast.
  • TOW rockets are too easy to handle / too effective.
  • The operation of the guided missiles of the Bradleys is too easy.
  • RPG-7v2 has too high speed.
  • SRAW is too weak.
  • No jet loadouts.
  • The helicopter control assistance is faulty.
  • The automatic air defense of the base is too weak.
  • Jet bombs are too easily shot down by AA, even accidentally.
  • The attack helicopter has lost its laser-guided rocket.

However, the biggest problem right now seems to be the effectiveness of rockets targeting laser-marked targets. When a spotter has marked a helicopter or jet with a laser, it is guaranteed to be hit by the rockets. The rockets ignore countermeasures, and in the case of the guided missiles from the Bradleys, just one hit is enough to destroy any aircraft.

Infantry players do not want even stronger aircraft

This is what infantry players say: Even though some infantry players acknowledge that aircraft are having a hard time, especially because of the effectiveness of laser-guided rockets, others do not think that aircraft should be improved.

On X, a user asks how aircraft can be in bad condition when players like Silk regularly achieve rounds with over 100 kills. On Reddit, a user adds that he hated nothing more in Battlefield V than dying by bombs from an aircraft without having a chance to do anything about it.
