All Contents of Steeled Resolve
Which Shiny is time-limited? During the event, you can obtain Meltan as a Shiny when you activate the mystery box. Since the release of Pokémon HOME, you don’t even need a Switch to obtain the mystery box in Pokémon GO.
Additionally, the cooldown of the mystery box is reduced during the event, allowing you to activate it more frequently and thus have more chances to get a Shiny Meltan.
Which monster is making its debut? You can also obtain Orthworm for the first time in the game during the event. The monster has been around since Generation 9 and is of Steel type. It has no evolution. You can also receive it directly as a Shiny upon its debut if you are lucky.
You will find the monster in 3-star raids during the event.
What other monsters are there? Additionally, various event monsters are roaming in the wild, in raids, and in field research. These include the following: In the wild:
Magnemite*
Aron*
Ferroseed*
Pawniard* (rare)
In 1-star raids:
Honedge*
Shieldon*
Beldum*
In 3-star raids:
Orthworm*
In field research:
Magnemite*
Pineco*
Nosepass*
Bronzor*
Drilbur*
Ferroseed*
Beldum* (rare)
Shieldon* (rare)
All monsters marked with an * can also appear as Shiny if you are lucky.
What’s in the GO Pass? During the event, there will again be a separate GO Pass. This will be active for the entire duration of the event and is available in both a free and a paid version (GO Pass Deluxe). From Saturday, May 2, at 12:00 AM to Monday, May 4, at 7:59 PM, you can earn as many points as you want.

The anime will run under the name The One Piece. It is being produced by the Japanese animation studio WIT Studio. You might know it from series like Attack on Titan or Spy x Family. The anime was originally unveiled at Jump Festa 2024. The goal is to attract new viewers and excite old fans with a new interpretation.

The One Piece – Interview with the Remake Team
The One Piece: The most important information about the anime remake
Release: When will the anime premiere?
Netflix has not yet announced a date for when the remake will be released. Rumors suggest that the series should start in 2026, but this period has never been officially confirmed. Therefore, you should be cautious in assuming that the remake could start in 2026.
Episodes: How many episodes will the anime have?
The original source material has over 1,000 episodes. It is not known how many there will be for The One Piece. However, the anime is supposed to be a complete remake and will start from the East Blue Saga. If the anime is well received, the series could “continue for a long time,” until the conclusion of the story.
The pacing should be even faster. The remake should showcase a flawless pace.
Trailer: Is there already a taste of the anime?
In the latest trailer from April 7, 2026, the Straw Hat Pirates and their new look can be seen. Unfortunately, the video is only 38 seconds long and even shows images that are already known. So there isn’t much new here.

Streaming Service: On which platforms can I watch the anime?
As the anime is a Netflix production, the series will exclusively air on this streaming service.
Dubbing: In what language will the anime be available?
There is currently no information about the voice actors. We can only assume that there will at least be a Japanese dubbing. What voices will be featured is unknown.
Story: What happens in the anime?
The One Piece is expected to cover the complete story of Luffy’s adventures and his journey to become the Pirate King. The manga by Eiichiro Oda serves as the source material. The biggest difference from the previous anime is likely the art style, which is said to be significantly more dynamic than the original. However, there will be more emphasis on the everyday aspects, such as how people live in the world.
In addition to the remake, Netflix has another project on One Piece in the works. Luffy’s adventure will also be portrayed by real actors. A second season is already on the way. All information regarding this can also be found on MeinMMO: One Piece Season 2: Release, Trailer and Cast of the Netflix series

New colors, new logo, new ninja, and a new website layout – everything now looks different at MeinMMO! What changes for you is explained by MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya.
Dear community,
in the background, we’ve been working like little ninjas for months on a fresh coat of paint for MeinMMO, and today we proudly present the result! Please imagine grand fanfares and glittering confetti here, which we will still be finding in some corners of the website in 50 years.
In terms of usability, everything remains comfortably simple for you, but we can present everything to you in a much more varied way now. It’s already been a good six years since we made significant changes, and you could see that. Our site looked quite outdated, and we felt that the appearance was simply old-fashioned.
Furthermore, what is closest to our hearts visually was completely overlooked:
The people behind the screens who come together here every day to engage with games and their favorite nerd topics.
In the age of quickly generated AI content, one thing still holds true more than when MeinMMO was founded: Without people, we would have nothing to share and discuss. Since our roots lie in the MMORPG genre, the social aspect of gaming and community dynamics in reporting have always been important to us.
Don’t get me wrong, we also use AI in content creation as a tool. A prominent example: You can read the entire offering of MeinMMO in English, as the texts are translated using AI to connect us globally.
However, we love the stories of the people who develop games, play them, and exchange ideas about them online – and we enjoy telling those stories! The same goes for our own stories, which we experience with our nerd hobbies and hope they entertain you and add value to your everyday life.
We now have the opportunity to highlight quotes, individual people, or formats even more prominently. This is partly because we as an editorial team can now spontaneously redesign the homepage like a building block. This allows us to put individual articles, images, surveys, or even videos from the MeinMMO YouTube channel in the spotlight.
A screenshot from our test environment shows: We can now put strong quotes in the spotlight – regardless of whether they come from interviews, opinions, or the community.
So don’t be surprised if the appearance of the homepage changes slightly spontaneously. Maybe even more so in the coming days because our web devs have handed us a new toy, and you know how it is with new toys…
An old legend returns
So, who of you has been around long enough to remember our first logo?
This logo launched MeinMMO in 2014
The logo and the little ninja next to it were created back then by our founder Dawid (with the few resources he had at the time). When MeinMMO was later bought by Webedia, we suddenly had completely different resources available, like a professional graphic designer. Convenient! The logo changed and became more professional over time. The ninja dissipated in a cloud of smoke and has since lived on only in the shadows.
When we started redesigning the website, we realized that we actually missed our ninja quite a bit. His old design might have resembled a ski jumper. But a mascot that watches over you from the shadows – that has something.
We quickly asked our graphic designer Jakob if he could give the ninja a fresh coat of paint, so we could bring him back out of the shadows. And boy, we liked the new design so much that he has now even become part of our logo again:
Old ninja, new attire.
Get ready to encounter this little ninja more often now. Our social media manager Sandra is already looking forward to letting him dart through our social channels on Instagram, TikTok, and Threads.
At the moment we call him “The Legend”, but he still lacks a proper name. Maybe you have some ideas? Feel free to share them in the comments! We might even do a community vote on this. We’re still a bit undecided on that.
A big thank you – also to you
Dear community, first of all, a big thank you to you!
To this day, I jump into the comment section with every article to see what your opinion is – about the topics, the articles, and videos. We ourselves have a lot of joy in shaping the site and its content. I am already super nervous to find out what you think of our new look.
Please write to us in the comments what you think of the new design! Do you find everything you need? Is there anything missing? Let us know.
At this point, I also want to thank the ninjas in the background:
Our web dev team, especially Steffi, Sebastian, and Ben, have gone through countless feedback loops with us and made the new design possible.
Our product manager Alex must not be forgotten, who collected every piece of feedback and translated between the editorial team and the web devs into the other language.
I already mentioned our graphic designer Jakob, but here too: honor where honor is due, and a big thank you for the fresh coat of paint. I really love our new ninja, but also the new colors!
My bosses Dawid and Rae have contributed a lot of input and questioned all our ideas again and again so that we could achieve a result that made all of us really happy.
I also want to say thank you to my entire editorial team, who fills the website every day with various content and continually brings cool ideas and stories. Without you, all of this would just be a (now really) beautiful but empty canvas. In terms of the redesign, an extra thank you to Lydia and Sophia from the editorial team, who secretly tested our new website again and again and found every possible and impossible error.
And so I will conclude with: Always good loot!
Your Leya

During the holidays and the long weekend around Easter, players worldwide made progress in Crimson Desert. However, now they are disappointed by one of the highlights in the game – but there is a solution.
At a certain point in the game, players unlock the dragon, which the developers prominently featured in their trailer and fits perfectly with the main character Kliff as an overpowering being. However, the dragon is currently causing great disappointment among fans.
There is a cooldown that prevents Kliff from flying on the dragon continuously. This frustrates many players on Reddit, because for them it is clear: A single-player title does not need such cooldowns. But the community already has a solution.
Before you think about taming the dragon, you should first hop on the back of Rokade:
Start video
Here you will find the legendary horse “Rokade” in Crimson Desert
One step ahead
What kind of solution is that? While some players are frustrated about the cooldown, others have already recognized the developers’ intention. The cooldown for the dragon in Crimson Desert is actually not an annoying feature, but removable.
According to comments on Reddit, there are two ways to call the dragon without a cooldown. The inexpensive and simple option is using dragon horns. They reduce the cooldown by 10 minutes each, allowing you to quickly hop back onto the beast’s back.
However, the better method is “Narima’s Horn,” a sort of OP version of the dragon horn that completely removes the cooldown of the dragon when used. However, obtaining the horn is difficult.
How do you get Narima’s Horn? To obtain Narima’s Horn, you need to upgrade your camp, according to a guide from Reddit user Ivaurog, so that your faction members can unlock the exploration ability.
After that, you need to clear the area “Timeworn Ruins” in Crimson Desert from enemies and the resident boss. This is to ensure that you can now send your comrades on an exploration mission there.
Although this is very costly in terms of your camp resources, you are supposed to randomly receive the recipe for Narima’s Horn as a reward. However, the chances are said to be quite low according to the user, which is why he advises saving before completing the mission and loading if the item is not dropped.
A gamer reports on Reddit that he has played ARC Raiders for about 400 hours and loves the extraction shooter by Embark. However, at some point, he felt that the gameplay loop was going nowhere, and thus played The Division 2 again. In Ubisoft’s loot shooter, he noticed what ARC Raiders needs to improve to be perfect.
This is the player’s insight: The player mainly discusses the endgame of both games on Reddit. Although The Division 2 is not a perfect game, it gives him the feeling of making continuous progress.
In ARC Raiders, it feels different to him. The endgame loop does not feel rewarding enough to maintain over time. The loot has no long-term value and is hardly significant, especially in the endgame.
If you have good gear in ARC Raiders, you are basically just playing to lose it and start over.
The gamer emphasizes that he knows both games belong to different genres and he does not want ARC Raiders to copy The Division 2. However, he is convinced that the game can learn some lessons from Ubisoft’s loot shooter.

A Learning Opportunity for the Success Shooter
What exactly can ARC Raiders learn from The Division 2? The biggest lesson is the core idea behind the endgame of The Division 2: As players, you always have a goal in sight and thus an activity. Everything you do gives you a form of progress and rewards you.
The Reddit user summarizes it very simply: “You always make progress, whether it’s with the build, the stats, the library, or just working towards something greater.”
The endgame of The Division 2 summarized in more detail
To put it more elaborately, the endgame of The Division 2 can be traced back to various pillars. You can:
Unlock all specializations and level their skill trees
Level the SHD clock to permanently improve your attribute stats, such as gaining 10% more damage, armor, or similar;
Goal 1: SHD level 1,000 to maximize all 4 fields in all 4 categories;
Goal 2: SHD level 2,000 to maximize health bonus
Create and maximize builds: There is a lot to consider and refine when it comes to builds. You almost always have something to work towards – especially if you want to create different builds.
Various aspects of build creation: set bonuses from manufacturers; talents; farming exotic, high-end, or named gear and weapons; attributes – it’s a long way to the god rolls
Library and expertise – By donating or actively using items, you increase expertise, enhancing the respective weapon or gear (such as increasing weapon damage)
Even if you don’t feel like farming items for your build or something similar, you make progress by simply playing the game, as you increase your SHD level or expertise, for example.
In ARC Raiders, there is no such system. You quickly finish the quests and expeditions and invest all available points in the skill tree or maximize workbenches. There is also no real build variety. Every player eventually reaches the point where there is no more progress and no more rewards to be earned.
What the community says about the Reddit user’s insight: Many players agree with the Reddit user. One comments that he wishes for more yield from the grind.
Another player writes that the “moment to moment” gameplay of ARC Raiders is brilliant, but the progress in many areas of the game is poor and the endgame is even “ridiculous.” Some players also write that they have been playing less and less in recent weeks and are gradually losing interest, even though they actually find the game great.
At the end of April, the second expansion for Diablo 4 will be released: Lord of Hatred. A new video now offers insights into the new area and the fresh enemy types. And to make matters worse, at the beginning … the greatest evil makes its appearance.
In Lord of Hatred, your hero sets off for Skovos – the new area from Lord of Hatred:
The Skovos Islands are located in the south of Sanctuary, a bit west of Nahantu.
They are oriented towards Greek aesthetics but also have an important lore background: On the islands, Inarius and Lilith spent a lot of time and created the first civilization in the time of the Nephalem. It is the oldest region of Sanctuary.
Spoiler Warning: Below we describe the beginning of the story of Lord of Hatred, including important details about characters. If you prefer to discover the story yourself, you should stop here.
What does the video show? The Paladin embarks on a ship towards Skovos alongside Lorath. In a cutscene, Lorath explains that he never expected to return and speaks about his connection to Adreona, the Amazon Queen of Skovos, whose help you will need.
After a conversation with a “Hand of Akarat,” the first battle breaks out: Creatures from the sea and giant crabs board the ship – enemy types that blend well into the setting.
On deck, Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred and the oldest evil, finally makes his presence known. He immediately makes it clear that he does not believe you will survive the upcoming events. Shortly after, the battle against the first story boss, the “Hateborn Abomination” (roughly translated as Hassgeborene Abscheulichkeit), follows. It is truly a loathsome creature from the sea with interesting attack patterns.
After the boss fight, you continue your journey after a short dialogue with Lorath. The video ends with a cutscene showing Skovos.
The Paladin met Mephisto already in his announcement trailer in his “new form”:

“The summoning of this boss is madness”
This is what fans say about the video: In the YouTube comments, the sequence of Skovos combined with the music is particularly praised. On Reddit, the new monsters are well received. And some players speculate whether the ship could serve as a base or if there could even be boats as new “mounts.” Many are also looking forward to new skill trees and fresh content in Diablo 4.
Another cutscene recently released by Blizzard about Lord of Hatred also impressively shows how dangerous Mephisto really is in Diablo 4. In the dark trailer, you can see how he manipulates Lorath’s spirit and what cruel effects that has. And it is just as dark as one would expect from the big boss.

What is the new season of Scrubs about? After many years as a private doctor, J.D. returns to Sacred Heart. There, not only old friends await him but also new challenges. Some time has passed, but the hospital routine seems to remain the same.
While there is now more modern technology, the interns still need the same support as before, and J.D. is expected to take that on again. However, he must take on a completely new role at Sacred Heart.
But there are also interpersonal conflicts and problems that continue to plague the familiar doctors even over 10 years later. J.D. and Elliot’s relationship has fallen apart and Turk is struggling with mental health issues as a doctor.
Escape from Tarkov has already banned over 25,000 players in 2026, but many of them were banned because they wanted to make money with the shooter.
What does Escape from Tarkov say about the bans? The developers of Escape from Tarkov have discussed the anti-cheat system of the extraction shooter in a blog post. They shared a graphic that provides more precise information about banned players (via escapefromtarkov.com).
In total, over 25,000 players were banned from January to March. However, only 54% of these 25,000 players were cheaters. The remaining 46% are divided into:
16% – RMT sellers
6% – RMT buyers
24% – Others
Additionally, the developers emphasize that they do not only ban players when they publish lists of banned accounts, contrary to community rumors. Sanctions take place on a daily basis.
Start video
Escape from Tarkov zeigt das Gameplay zum 1.0-Release im Trailer
What are the violations that Tarkov bans? RMT stands for “Real Money Trading” and describes trading with real money. Players illegally buy or sell in-game items like keycards or the in-game currency “Rubles” for real money on external websites like eBay.
Sellers are often cheaters who cheat items and want to earn real money this way. Buyers are usually unsuspecting players who want to skip the grind. “Real Money Trading” is considered one of the main reasons for the cheating problem of the shooter, as the financial gain presents an additional incentive.
Under the “Others” category of banned players fall accounts that use automated methods like bots and scripts to level up character skills or join and die in raids to lower the K/D. The latter is especially done by cheaters who want to hide their suspicious K/D this way.
What the developers say about the future: In the blog post, the developers also explained that they want to introduce new systems to detect cheaters and better compensation for players who died due to a cheater.
Additionally, TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are to be introduced in the fight against cheaters. These are options that more and more games are relying on, but they must be enabled in your system’s BIOS.
Players who wanted to play Battlefield 6 in 2025 had to activate both TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. If you play Tarkov and haven’t activated those systems yet, you can read our guide on activation here, which we published in the context of Battlefield 6: Activate Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 – Here’s how to do it easily

A user has discovered signs of a potentially upcoming feature for Steam that is supposed to prevent FPS issues.
In February 2026, Valve released a beta version of Steam that allowed Valve to collect data regarding your frame rate. Steam then observed how many FPS you had in a game.
At that time, Valve stated that this information would help to learn more about game compatibility and improve Steam. The feature was primarily aimed at devices running SteamOS. However, a Steam user has recently noticed that some new features have been added to the beta version.
Start video
This is Deadlock – The new MOBA shooter from Valve
Steam might estimate your FPS in the future
What is this feature? As explained by the user on Resetera, these new features could indicate a feature on Steam that provides an estimate of the expected frame rate in a game.
The feature is titled “Framerate Estimator” in an attached screenshot:
The screenshot also shows that for the potentially upcoming feature, you will likely have to provide various details about your system such as the CPU or GPU you are using, as well as select a specific game.
Subsequently, the feature would likely present you with an estimate of how many FPS you could achieve in that particular game.
What benefit does this have? Many games are not perfectly optimized upon release and have performance issues. This is particularly frustrating for full-price titles, as you pay a lot of money and then receive a game that has low FPS or even stutters to your liking.
To avoid wasting money on poorly optimized games, it makes sense to find out how many FPS you could expect in a particular game beforehand. However, for inexperienced users, it is often difficult to determine how well a game runs on their gaming PC. While there are various sources for benchmarks, this often involves quite a bit of research across various websites. Additionally, there’s the problem that the hardware used in the tests may differ significantly, making it hard to deliver a reliable result.
Steam could provide a straightforward solution here. The estimates would likely be based on the collected information from the numerous Steam users, putting an end to the search for a test with comparable hardware.
The most reliable impression of how well a game runs on your PC is still obtained by testing it yourself. Steam also has an easy solution for you, so you don’t throw money out the window. More on this here: Returning a game on Steam – It’s that easy

As part of an April Fool’s joke, Blizzard has introduced a new boss in Diablo 4. Fans are now faced with a completely new challenge and are already mourning the event.
What kind of boss is this? On April 1, 2026, Blizzard introduced a new world boss to the game, which appears every few hours at well-known spots in Sanctuary. This is Hä’nar the Hell Rooster (English: “Chi’Khan”), who is only available for a limited time. Those who defeat the rooster can look forward to special items.
Blizzard recently released statistics on how many heroes Chi’Khan has defeated. Fans report in this context how much the chicken is giving them trouble – and how much they are celebrating exactly that.

Players lose heroes due to an April Fool’s joke
This is what players say about the boss:On Reddit, there is a discussion about how many characters Chi’Khan has already taken down. This includes over 150 hardcore players who have lost their heroes in the battle against the world boss forever.
A player reports that he had to fight the boss alone because everyone else left the fight while he briefly teleported to the city. He then defeated Chi’Khan. That was the most intense boss fight he has experienced in Diablo 4.
In the comments, many take it with humor. One user writes that dying due to an April Fool’s joke in hardcore mode at least makes for a good story. Others note that they normally have no issues with world bosses on Torment 4, but this chicken is a whole different ballgame.
In another Reddit post, many fans note that they have never seen so many player characters die as with Chi’Khan. Overall, the event and the boss seem to be well received in the community.
What is Blizzard showing now? In the past, events in Diablo 4 have not always been well received. They were often too short, offered too little incentive or were simply chaotic. The current April Fool’s event scores on various counts:
There is a new world boss that looks funny but packs a punch.
Players finally feel challenged again.
There is exclusive loot that you can only get from Chi’Khan.
You can earn a special title and pick up an emblem in the shop.
The Diablo expert Rhykker calls it in his YouTube video from April 4, 2026, “perhaps the best April Fool’s event in Diablo’s history.” While the community usually complains a lot, this event is a clear win. “We can finally have fun again,” he summarizes the mood. In his video, you also get an impression of the fight against Chi’Khan, in case you missed it.
As updates from Blizzard usually go live in the evening around 7 PM, Chi’Khan’s time might soon be up. Whether Blizzard will deliver such events more often due to the positive feedback remains to be seen. What is certain is that the second expansion is set to be released in three weeks, bringing a new class and a new area. In our overview, you can find out everything about the DLC “Lord of Hatred”.

In spring 2024, a conflict between streamers AnniTheDuck and Mowky shook the German Twitch and sparked a wave of accusations and revelations. Nearly two years later, opinion blogger Jay Riddle questions the narrative of events at that time.
What was it with the 2.50 euros? In spring 2024, a wave of revelations hit German Twitch, during which serious accusations were made against well-known content creators AnniTheDuck and Simon Unge. The whole thing was triggered by an anonymous donation in the chat of the streamer Mowky.
The internet showed overwhelming solidarity with Mowky at the time. AnniTheDuck, who at that time was one of the biggest streamers on German Twitch, lost valuable partnerships and had to effectively end her career.
Although AnniTheDuck made several comeback attempts, she steadily lost followers during her last streams on Twitch. Since mid-December 2025, she had not gone live. On October 31, 2025, the streamer released the song “Vulture” under the name Nysa, along with a corresponding video. A series of “Behind the Scenes” videos followed on her old YouTube channel, after which it went quiet again around AnniTheDuck.

Opinion blogger questions Mowky’s version
Here’s the twist: Opinion blogger Jay Riddle announced a series of major revelation videos over the Easter weekend, which he has been working on since last year. The first video was released on April 4, 2026, on his YouTube channel and revisits the topic around AnniTheDuck and Mowky.
In the nearly 2.5-hour long video, Jay Riddle essentially discusses two points:
The meeting of a group of friends around Mowky and AnniTheDuck, during which Mowky is said to have lost her composure and thrown a chair at someone. The streamer had denied the “chair throw” at that time. Jay Riddle, however, questions her version of the incident. He scrutinizes the “eyewitness accounts” of those present, shows chat logs, and provides his own reports.
Mowky’s handling of alleged mental illnesses, particularly an alleged paranoid schizophrenia. According to Jay Riddle, there are inconsistencies in how the streamer talks about her diagnoses and required medications.
The opinion blogger also criticizes other internet personalities, including the well-known CDU destroyer Rezo as well as streamers JenNyan and Milschbaum. He also claims to have an “Excel document of horrors” and more material for at least 3 videos on the topic.

What do the involved parties say? So far, not much. As of April 7, 2026, at 2:30 PM, we could not find any public statements from Mowky. Anni The Duck had only stated in a now-expired Instagram story that she had seen the video.
JenNyan stated in a stream on April 5 that she did not want to make a statement.
However, that hasn’t stopped others from discussing the topic actively, both on X, in the comments on YouTube, or in the streaming subreddit “Laesterschwestern”. The reactions have been rather mixed so far. While many viewers and other influencers took a clear stance back then, the reactions now seem more subdued.
Rather than a clear shift in sentiment against Mowky, viewers now seem to believe that no one has come out of this situation with any glory. Jay Riddle also faces criticism for his excessive use of AI in the video.
Others, however, find it difficult to understand why the topic is being revived almost two years later.
Whether the video will create a similar stir as the 2.50 euros did back then remains to be seen. However, it can be expected that it will at least lead to some statements.
With a new teaser, Netflix has confirmed the release date of Season 3 of One Piece. While fans had to wait almost 3 years after Season 1, you won’t have to wait as long for Season 3 of the adventure series.
When does Season 3 of One Piece start on Netflix? As Netflix confirms on their website, Season 3 of One Piece is set to premiere in 2027, which is already next year. However, no exact timeframe was mentioned in the blog post.
The production is already taking place in Cape Town, South Africa, according to the post. As part of this, One Piece on YouTube also released a small teaser that shows the skull symbol, with the subtitle The Battle of Alabasta.
You can watch a trailer for the previous season here:

A Major Turning Point for the Straw Hat Pirates
What will Season 3 be about? As the title suggests, Season 3 on Netflix will focus on the Kingdom of Alabasta. This is the home of Vivi, who joined the crew in Season 2. The desert land is in a difficult situation. A rebellion against the king, Vivi’s father, is brewing.
However, the puppet master behind the conflict is not the king, but Sir Crocodile, played by Joe Manganiello, who was already seen briefly in Season 2.
The Straw Hat crew finds themselves in the midst of the conflict, wanting to fight for Vivi and facing the Baroque Company, Crocodile’s organization.
The arc was already a kind of turning point for the story of One Piece in the anime and manga. For the first time, Luffy and his friends interfere in world events and encounter enemies that push the limits of their abilities.
Already in Alabasta, things about the world are established that remain relevant for years to come.
What information is there about the new cast in Season 3? In the blog post, Netflix mentions again the new actors who were already known and will make their first appearance in Season 3:
Many players hope to dive into their own MMORPG character when they start a new title. However, immersion doesn’t always happen as well as players wish. One title aims to change that.
What kind of MMORPG is this? Asteria: Fate of the Fallen is a “next-generation VR MMORPG” that promises a social and large-scale virtual world. So far, it has never succeeded in creating a truly large VR MMORPG, but that is supposed to change now.
Lead developer Noah Bazer has a clear vision for this. He wants to create the “next-generation VR MMORPG in anime style.” Asteria is meant to take players into a “colorful, anime-like medieval fantasy world” where they must also fight in reality thanks to motion controls.
While swinging your virtual sword in real life, there should also be magic in the form of runes that enchant enemies. Besides an immersive crafting system, the main highlights are expected to be social activities.
Here you can watch the introduction video for Asteria: Fate of the Fallen:

A Second Life
What social features are planned? Fighting in VR MMORPGs can be tiring over time, so Asteria also wants to offer other activities for players to enjoy. There will be the possibility to open your own shop to sell goods there.
Players will also be able to engage in sports together, possibly in the form of mini-games. Those who enjoy playing Sims can look forward to a housing system where players can design their own four walls.
The goal for Asteria is not power fantasy or the chosen one story, but rather the community task of rebuilding the players’ city and defending it against evil forces.
How far along is the MMORPG? The development of the MMORPG is not yet complete. Currently, a Kickstarter campaign is running, which has raised about 60,000 €. However, developer Noah Bazer emphasizes that “come what may, it will be released.”
However, the donation campaign is intended to accelerate the speed of the release, as the money can be used to hire more developers. Players can also unlock new features for the MMORPG as part of the campaign.
The campaign includes goals like guild halls, PvP duels, musical instruments, pets, and much more. The campaign runs until May 3, 2026, even though the base goal of 43,000 € was reached in less than 24 hours.
The tabletop hobby around Warhammer 40,000 is not exactly cheap. Old and rare miniatures can quickly reach high prices. Now, a lucky person has bought a figure that is really valuable and makes the community envious.
Which figure is it? The Reddit user sillygoose-1714 shared a post in the Warhammer subreddit. There, he shows pictures of a large, painted figure. He found it in a toy box in a second-hand store and paid less than 22 euros.
As a newcomer to Warhammer, he took the figure home because it simply looked cool. However, he was not aware of what kind of treasure he had found.

Why is the figure so special? Another Reddit user provides the lucky person with some answers about the model. It is the “Imperial Reaver Titan.” These were created by the company Armorcast, which was supposed to make some models for the larger scale of 28 mm instead of the small scale of 6 mm.
In the late 90s, there were two systems of Warhammer. The regular system refers to the game with a scale of 28 mm and is still widely used today. The so-called Epic system is played with a scale of 6 mm and was meant to depict huge battles.
According to the Reddit user, the Reaver Titan was sold between 1995 and 1998, which brings the age of the miniature to about 30 years. He also mentions that it is not a figure directly from Games Workshop, which means there is little information available. However, these models are very rare and popular among collectors.

The figure costs several times 22 euros
How much does the Reaver Titan cost? Of course, there was also speculation about the price in the subreddit. Some users write it could be several hundred dollars. One user estimates it to be $800 or more and links to an eBay item that sold in January 2026.
This was a similar Reaver Titan from Armorcast that sold for $1,053. This would be approximately 911 euros.
What does the community say about the figure? A Reddit user believes that this model belongs in a museum. Over 200 other Warhammer fans agreed with him (as of April 7, 2026, at 1:50 PM). Other comments also refer to the treasure the user found, saying that it is their dream model.
Of course, envy is not far away with such a find, and some users congratulate the lucky person, even though they would like to hold this model in their hands themselves.
Night City from Cyberpunk 2077 becomes a true time capsule through the work of a fan: The city can be viewed as if through a VHS recording, which not only evokes nostalgia among players but also makes the images appear real.
What kind of tool is this? The modder and Reddit user Tulired presented a clip in the Subreddit for Cyberpunk 2077 that depicts a well-known city in a completely different way. Night City looks like someone walked through the city a long time ago and recorded a vacation video with an old camcorder.
It is the same city, familiar streets, already encountered faces. However, the image quality, small disturbances, distortions, and scan lines create a feeling that you are not looking at a video game but at an old, real videotape.
Here you can see in the clip how Night City appears through the VHS optics:

It is the free ReShade mod “TapePunk” by Tulired (known as Tuliz on Nexusmods). This mod uses revised shaders to make the futuristic city of Night City, set 50 years in the future, be viewed through a lens reminiscent of the 80s.
“The goal was to break free from the clean, high-resolution look of modern games and instead celebrate the old analog imagery,” Tuliz writes in the description of his mod on Nexusmods, “a world where the future meets aging hardware.”

Mod provides hyper-realistic footage despite outdated look
What does the community praise about the mod? The clip featuring the mod has garnered great enthusiasm from the community on Reddit. They praise not only the idea itself but also the feeling it evokes. It is not just an exciting tool with a cool look, but a simulated time travel:
“My brain completely forgets that this is a game and not real footage,” writes cravex12. Also, teddehyrria adds: “This somehow makes the game look even more realistic.”
ADreamOfCrimson presents the following theory for the effect’s impact: Since the brain expects lower image quality from VHS recordings, it blurs out the video game character of the graphics and tricks the mind into filling in the remaining gaps, which makes it feel more realistic than photorealistic graphics.
What does the modder say about this feedback? The modder explains in his description on Nexusmods that he wants to capture exactly this feeling of nostalgia with his project: “That’s exactly what this project is at the moment: not a 100% perfect technical reproduction, but an idealized version – just like our memories.”
This mix of realism and nostalgia reminds many fans of another project that could provide the modder further inspiration for even more applications of his mod: the Backroom videos, including those by YouTuber Kane Pixels.
This creator also used the found-footage look in his recordings, making his environments in Blender appear as realistic as TapePunk does for Cyberpunk 2077. The modder has not only been made aware of this but also sees it as his next potential project:
“I thought about starting a YouTube channel where I assume the role of a tourist,” he explains on Reddit, “‘Vacation in Night City,’ ‘Night City Tapes,’ or something similar. Name suggestions are explicitly welcome!”
He explains that if there’s a mod that can remove all NPCs, he could record VHS footage in a deserted Night City to recreate the feeling of the so-called “Liminal Spaces” of the Backrooms. Based on the reactions on Reddit, this would be a well-received project that would generate great enthusiasm.
Who is now considered one of the masters of Liminal Spaces is the aforementioned Kane Pixels. His videos about the Backrooms were so successful that the 20-year-old YouTuber is now working with A24 on a feature film about the strange, eerily empty yellow rooms. He has also created a second project that, for MeinMMO editor Caro, should be at least as legendary: The creator of the new feature film about the legendary Backrooms worked on a second project that is even scarier

The German Twitch streamer Isabell “HoneyPuu” Schneider reports that she has been excluded from events due to criticism of colleagues. Previously, she had commented on German content creators who do not take their uncomfortable situation with a supposed cyberstalker seriously and mock it.
What is the situation? The Twitch streamer HoneyPuu has been affected by a supposed cyberstalker for almost a year. A man repeatedly posts videos in which he apparently believes he is in a relationship with the Twitch streamer. The videos include declarations of love, but also anger towards HoneyPuu.
The streamer criticized the behavior of her colleagues, both privately and publicly, according to her own statement.

Now I am being excluded everywhere
What are the consequences for HoneyPuu? In a stream over the Easter weekend, HoneyPuu reported that she is being excluded from the German Twitch scene after her public criticism. Streamers Rohat and Knossi, both involved in the meme games, have unfollowed her.
Furthermore, she will likely not be invited to events and projects of her streamer colleagues in the future, such as Minecraft projects like CraftAttack or Fitnacraft.
I shouldn’t have opened my mouth. Now I am being excluded everywhere. […] Consequences will happen or have already happened. I will not be able to participate in any event anymore. […] I have already been partially uninvited from events.
– Streamer HoneyPuu on Twitch (from minute 01:43:26)
HoneyPuu further explains that she wrote to Rohat, the organizer of such a meme round, about this situation a while ago. In the context of a round of Make It Meme, memes about HoneyPuu and her stalking situation were created.
She criticized that the round was not canceled once memes about her were created. A discussion arose between the two, in which they did not come to a common understanding.

Why is this such a problem? Events have become a huge thing on Twitch. They thrive on entertaining interactions between content creators and can help smaller streamers get noticed by a larger audience.
When a larger event takes place, it usually gives participants a significant boost. Furthermore, an invitation shows that one “belongs.” Being excluded from such events can, on the other hand, mean less reach and thus also less income for non-participating streamers.
The fact that her criticism apparently has negative effects on HoneyPuu’s career could also discourage other affected individuals from going public with their experiences.

Release: When is Episode 3 coming out?
The next episode of Witch Hat Atelier is expected to air on Monday, April 13, 2026, at 4:00 PM Central European Summer Time. The following episodes, which will go up to Episode 13, will be released on a weekly basis.
Streaming Service: Where can I watch the episode?
Witch Hat Atelier is exclusively available on Crunchyroll in simulcast. This means that the episodes will be broadcast shortly after the Japanese premiere on television.
Dubbing: What languages will be available?
The episode will be available in Japanese with German subtitles. At the same time, the episodes will be released without delay in the German dubbed version. There is no waiting time between the versions.
Content: What will there be to see?
The anime adaptation of Witch Hat Atelier is based on the manga. Therefore, we can already guess what the series will be about:
The protagonist Coco wants to become a witch. However, only those born with magical talent can become witches. Coco does not qualify.
One day she meets the wizard Qifrey, who takes her as a student. He teaches her that spells can also be cast using runes and magical ink.
The dark witch circle is interested in Coco. Their goal is to revive the free use of magic. It was banned because several atrocities were committed with it in the past.
Coco must therefore deal with the dark plot and her newly acquired magical knowledge at the same time. The manga of Witch Hat Atelier is still ongoing, which is why the story is not yet complete.
Faker is arguably the best player in League of Legends. Together with his team, he has won the World Championship 6 times since 2013. However, 8 years ago, he thought his career was over at that time.
Why did Faker think that 8 years ago? The magazine Fortune Korea published an interview with the LoL legend Faker, in which he talked about his career. The interview was translated by a Reddit user. A major theme there was the duration of careers in esports.
For Faker, this was also a major topic 8 years ago. During that time, he caught himself thinking about whether this was the moment he would be outplayed by other players. Faker went on to say the following:
Back then, the perception was very strong that careers in esports are particularly short, and I felt like I couldn’t escape this trend. Nevertheless, a part of me wondered: Is it really right to be pushed aside helplessly just because of my age? Can’t I prove that this doesn’t have to be the case? Can’t I just keep going longer and continue to prove myself? From that moment on, I trained even harder.
How long had Faker been playing at that time? Faker started his career in 2013 and had already won the World Championship 3 times by 2018, the year when Faker doubted himself. According to Fortune Korea, the average duration of an esports career is almost 5 years.

What is Faker’s tip for a longer career? In the same interview, a hobby of Faker outside of LoL is addressed: reading. He was specifically asked what the reason was for starting to read so many books.
The answer was directly related to the duration of his career: he was curious about how he could prolong his career and improve his own performance. Particularly scientific books about neuroscience or the human body were very interesting to Faker.
The professional further said that the knowledge from the books helped him calm his nerves, regain focus, and approach situations more calmly.
What are Faker’s favorite books? The X user Ashley Kang created a website where she listed all the books that Faker mentioned in a stream from 2023. Additionally, there is a complexity rating and a small comment from Faker about the books.
You can find the list on the page created by Ashley Kang fan-leaf-9ae.notion.site. Besides some fictional books, the list is filled with scientific books.
Particularly the book “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” is, according to Faker’s comment, a must-read, meaning a book that everyone should read. It discusses the development of humanity, but this list also includes works that deal with various topics of human psychology.
Whether all the reading has really made a difference is, of course, not provable, but Faker has still been the best LoL player in the world since 2018.
