“All stars really had to align perfectly” – Twitch streamer experiences the almost impossible in LoL, wonders if this has ever happened before

Nico Scheibel Nico Scheibel Reading time 2 minutes

League of Legends is a very complex game with many different mechanics that make each round unique. In an apparently normal match, however, the almost impossible can happen, as a Twitch streamer found out.

Which Twitch streamer are we talking about? The top laner and “cosplayer”, Alois_NL, regularly streams League of Legends on his Twitch channel. He currently aims to conquer the Korean server and plays the champion Dr. Mundo.

What did Alois experience? On X, the LoL streamer posted a screenshot showing the summary of damage to structures. After a 17-minute victory, he checked how much damage he and his teammates had inflicted. To his astonishment, he was solely responsible for all the structural damage done by his team.

Alois himself says that he has never seen anything like this in his LoL career and that “the stars must have perfectly aligned”. Furthermore, he wonders if such a case has ever occurred before.

Why is this almost impossible? League of Legends is played on a map with three lanes and a jungle. Each lane has three towers and an inhibitor that spawns minions. The main objective to win is to destroy the towers and structures leading to the Nexus, the team’s main base, thereby winning the game.

Usually, there is almost always a way to deal some damage to the first tower, especially when the opposing champion is in base buying items or regenerating health.

In a match that is heavily lost, it can happen that only one or even no champion inflicted damage on structures. However, Alois won the match, making it even crazier that none of his teammates even considered attacking the important structures.

His fans are also astonished

What do his fans say about the “achievement”? Under the post on X, user ZankoAkurou wonders how this is even possible. Another user writes on X.com that he can somewhat understand it due to Alois’s champion choice, but there is one among them who can excellently push the minions with his abilities and thus would have enough opportunities to attack a structure.

The question of whether this has happened before has also been answered. X user MvSBatman showed with a screenshot that it happened to him exactly the same way, but his match was several years ago and it has not occurred again since.

The post by Alois also astonishes players on Reddit: Alarming_Tea_219 writes that he has played several rounds where he dealt more or even twice as much damage to structures as his entire team, but there has never been a match like Alois’s.

Besides Alois, who currently wants to conquer the Korean server, there are other Twitch streamers who set their own challenges. Recently, the player Bardinette set himself the goal of ranking up without killing a single minion, which are actually urgently needed to earn important gold for items: Twitch streamer sabotages his team in LoL through a special challenge and gets banned for it

Players in Final Fantasy XIV can now beat a beast from Monster Hunter: Wilds, but new matchmaking excites even more

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 2 minutes

For Final Fantasy XIV, Patch 7.35 is now available, bringing the major coop with Monster Hunter Wilds. The community is already celebrating the matchmaking for the new Deep Dungeon and a fresh emote.

What kind of new coop is starting? Starting October 7, 2025, players can face the Guardian Arkveld in Final Fantasy XIV as part of the coop with Monster Hunter Wilds. Arkveld is the exchange monster that will be presented to MMORPG players while the Final Fantasy boss Omega makes life difficult for the Monster Hunter gamers.

Arkveld can be approached by all level 100 fighters who have completed the main story and have an item level of 725. The monster will be unlocked through a quest line, and there are new Monster Hunter items in the game.

On Reddit, the patch notes are already being discussed, and surprisingly, it’s not Arkveld that excites players the most, but rather the matchmaking in the new dungeon.

The new matchmaking? Wow, major victory

Why is the matchmaking cool? The new matchmaking is part of the new Deep Dungeon Pilgrim’s Path. Groups of up to four players face increasingly difficult levels from 1 to 100. The levels are randomly shuffled and always consist of different challenges.

So far, there are already two other Deep Dungeons, the Palace of the Dead and Heavensward. However, what is new in Pilgrim’s Path is that there is a kind of group finder: groups with 3 or fewer players can hire random members. This applies not only to the lower levels but also to the higher ones.

This has caused excitement among players on Reddit. punnyjr comments as comment (via Reddit): Wow, major victory. Reddit user Weekly-Variation4311 feels similarly: Yes, they said that in the Life Letter, that was the thing that excited me the most.

Commentator No_Glass7125, on the other hand, fears that this may lead to frustration on Fridays when tanks pull entire levels and healer bots cast maximum low-level spells (via Reddit).

The price increase for the Xbox Game Pass currently shocks many players, an authority knew what was coming years ago

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

Since October 1, 2025, the prices of the Xbox Game Pass have significantly increased. Many former users and players are reacting in shock and anger, but one agency knew better years ago.

Who commented on the price increase of the Game Pass? Since the Xbox Game Pass has become a little more to almost 50% more expensive depending on the tier, many players are complaining about this decision: It’s inappropriate, too expensive, and even makes “the PS Plus offer of the Playstation seem like a good deal” (Muddy Verity via X).

While many players express frustration and disappointment, a person has now responded to the discussion who already anticipated such consequences. She tried together with her agency to prevent such an outcome. 

Lina Khan, who was the chairwoman of the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) at the time of Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision, responded to a X post. This post shows the rising costs of the Game Pass since the acquisition of Activision Blizzard and reports that Microsoft had stated at that time that the acquisition should not lead to rising prices for the subscription model – exactly what she and the FTC had warned against.

Microsoft is “too big to worry”

What does the former chairwoman say about the price increase? The post that Khan responded to illustrates with a graphic how the price of the Game Pass (Ultimate tier) has risen significantly and disproportionately from 2023 to 2025 since the court rejected the FTC’s efforts. The conclusion of the poster @LeeHepner: “Lina Khan was right” (via X).

Khan demonstrates with her reaction that she and the FTC could observe how similar decisions had previously led to rising prices, as “dominant companies simply become too big to worry about the consequences”:

The acquisition of Activision by Microsoft resulted in significant price increases and layoffs, which harmed both players and developers.

As we have observed in various industries, increasing market consolidation and rising prices often go hand in hand.

When dominant companies become too big to worry, they can worsen the situation for their customers without worrying about the consequences.

Lina Khan via X

How did the FTC act during Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision? The FTC had warned since its objection that Microsoft could exploit its dominant position in the market, to increase the prices of the Game Pass. To get the deal through, Microsoft made multiple promises, to which complaints followed. FTC lawyers stated that Microsoft contradicted itself and made “inconsistent” statements.

Crimson Desert showcases 11 minutes of new gameplay, increasing the anticipation of many fans: “This game needs a demo!”

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

Crimson Desert releases 11 minutes of new gameplay and further ignites the anticipation for the highly awaited action RPG.

What kind of gameplay is this? Those who only follow the official channels for Crimson Desert may have missed this new gameplay material. You can currently watch the video only through IGN’s official channel on YouTube.

Here you can see the latest trailer for Crimson Desert:

Crimson Desert reveals the release date in the new trailer

More battles and a new grappling hook

What does the gameplay show? This time it shows an entire quest: Hero Kliff wanders through an army camp in search of a duke. When he sees him, he immediately wants to speak with “Grey Mane” (a nickname of the protagonist) privately. He then describes the current situation to us:

  • During the duke’s absence, rebels have taken over his castle, which is why he is now trapped in front of his own walls
  • The situation seemed hopeless for the duke until Kliff showed up. A countess apparently spoke favorably of our protagonist to him.

The duke wants to retake his castle and Kliff is to assist him. He first storms the northern gate of the castle with the duke’s soldiers. Here the combat system of Crimson Desert shines once again:

  • The first enemy is immediately thrown to the ground by Kliff and hurled away in one swing
  • Next, combat with the spear (which is more like a cross between a glaive and a halberd) is demonstrated. The weapon is suitable for sweeping attacks and precise thrusts
  • The moveset with sword and shield is also presented again – this time with a magical attack that freezes enemies

Here you can also see the new gameplay:

A new feature is also the use of a grappling hook. If you grab a surface with this, you propel yourself into the air with a jump. Then Kliff spins quickly like a yo-yo and begins gliding, which is enabled by a magical feather cloak.

This way of movement ultimately brings us inside the castle, where the leader of the rebels is waiting at the top. He hits hard and even makes the pillars in the boss arena break with his strikes.

What do the players say about it? The new gameplay considerably raises the anticipation among many fans. The scope and possibilities of the game seem to be becoming larger and more numerous each time.

  • mezurashi_519 comments under the video on YouTube: “This game needs a demo! There’s so many things I want to try out in terms of gameplay flow”
  • Also, _ultraviolence1503 says: “This game looks sick asf”, but he has one concern regarding the controls. “My only concern now is how they’re gonna fit so many movesets into controller inputs without making it annoying to use”

IGN has already announced that there will be further insights into the game on their channel in October. This includes new gameplay as well as insights from the development team.

The new season of 7 vs. Wild starts off pleasantly well, but suddenly viewers have to pay for it

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The new season 7 vs. Wild has started and viewers are surprisingly satisfied with the first episodes. However, not everyone who wanted to tuned in.

How did the start go? The first episode of 7 vs. Wild started on time at 00:00 on October 7, 2025, on Amazon Prime and ran technically flawlessly. However, there was still some annoyance: the new season is no longer free, like all previous seasons.

For fans, a shock, as until now it was possible to watch 7 vs. Wild without an existing subscription on Prime Video. This is no longer possible. Accordingly, viewers reacted angrily on Reddit, finding themselves in front of a paywall at midnight:

  • Julz_298: “Phew, if this was actually intended, I’m definitely out for now. Don’t feel like being forced into Prime. I’ll just wait for the YouTube release. Such a shame.”
  • guyondrugs: “Yeah, same for me. I wanted to give it a chance, only to see the app wants to sell me a Prime subscription.”

Other users point out that you can test Prime Video for free for 30 days if you wish. Although this is not enough for the entire season 5 of 7 vs. Wild, as it runs until December, it at least gives you the chance to get a feel for the new season before purchasing.

Former contestant Knossi also wants to watch the new season:

Attention: From this point onwards, there are spoilers for 7 vs. Wild season 5 episode 1.

7 vs. Chico

How is the first episode received? The first episode of 7 vs. Wild received positive feedback from viewers. The early shots of the rainforest were very visually striking and looked technically better than the preview clip, which was recently criticized for its image quality.

Viewers also liked the suspense arc of the first episode; they found on Reddit that the episode could also have been called “7 vs. Guide” or “Where is Chico”. The tense situation was well received by viewers, and the fact that the group stands against the guide Chico is appealing to many and is a significant part of the episode.

Some viewers found the inserts amusing, which showed how far the group still is from their goal. The displays came whenever a participant complained about the strenuous path.

What was criticized? No episode of 7 vs. Wild goes without criticism. This time, viewers especially disliked the new style with inserts and cuts. The episode featured constant inserts for the way, the distance, to animals and clues, but also when switching between contestants.

The inserts did exist in previous seasons. However, in the new season, they switch to another participant only after a few meters. This makes it feel almost like a continuous scene experienced from different perspectives, making some viewers find the inserts distracting rather than helpful.

Since Call of Duty joined Xbox Game Pass, the franchise is said to have lost 300 million US dollars in revenue – will the subscription become more expensive as a result?

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 2 minutes

For many years, Call of Duty has been THE cash cow for Activision, guaranteeing massive revenues. Since the acquisition by Microsoft, the shooter franchise has been part of the Xbox Game Pass. This has apparently had a noticeable impact on revenues.

What is known about the revenues? When Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was released in October 2024, the shooter managed to become a major hit – just like many other titles in the popular shooter franchise – including record for the most successful launch in Call of Duty history in terms of active players.

The very positive player numbers were certainly driven by the fact that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been playable on the Xbox Game Pass from the start. During this time, Microsoft officials even reported a record increase in new subscribers.

According to a report from bloomberg.com, which is said to be based on the statements of a former Microsoft employee, the Game Pass integration has noticeably negatively impacted the revenues of the shooter.

Call of Duty – Black Ops 7 is also coming to Xbox Game Pass:

Start video
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 zeigt erstes Gameplay aus dem Multiplayer-Modus

Specifically, Activision is said to have earned about $300 million less in 2024 from sales of Call of Duty for consoles and PCs than in 2023. That was roughly the price Microsoft paid to drive up the value of the Xbox Game Pass through Call of Duty.

According to Bloomberg, however, this price has only partially paid off. While there was a record increase in new customers, the average growth of the subscription service has reportedly declined significantly since 2020.

Fewer sales? More expensive subscription!

Are we now feeling the impact of this? On October 1, 2025, Microsoft significantly raised the prices for the Game Pass again. Those who want to experience Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 via the Xbox subscription starting November 14, 2025, will need to budget at least €14.99 per month for the service (instead of €11.99 or €12.99).

With this price increase, Microsoft may be trying to offset some of the lost sales revenues due to the subscription service. However, there is currently no official confirmation of this assumption.

The danger, of course, is that they overreach with the monthly fee and scare away many interested players. This is reflected in some reactions to the recent price increases: The Game Pass is now significantly more expensive, players complain: “Now even PS Plus seems like a good deal”

Players say that wheelchairs shouldn’t exist in Dungeons & Dragons – Community explains why this is not true

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 3 minutes

Magic is omnipresent in Dungeons & Dragons. Among other things, this is why discussions often arise among players about whether physical limitations are even permanently possible in such an environment. The community explains why this question is actually unnecessary.

Attention: The following text addresses opinions from the community and the author regarding this topic.

Of course, physical limitations are not something that can always be eradicated or must be. Therefore, it is important to handle such topics sensitively and to discuss exactly what is important to the players.

Why is there a discussion? Many players believe that in the multiverse of Dungeons & Dragons, due to the available healing magic, there should be no characters with physical limitations, such as permanent blindness, paralysis, or deafness. After all, they could simply be healed.

However, it is not that simple, as not all inhabitants of these worlds have access to healing magic – on the other hand, magic is needed for healing such ailments and limitations, which operates at a very high level.

For example, for the spell “Regeneration,” which specifically restores severed or severely damaged body parts, a 7th-level spell slot is required, which most classes do not get until level 13. Spells like “lesser or greater restoration” could remove pathological conditions, depending on the cause of the condition – however, they also require characters who are at least moderately magical at levels 2 and 5. Therefore, finding someone who can heal such things should logically not be easy for everyone.

Other, lesser healing spells could of course be interpreted by the game master in such a way that they could remove such issues, but the rules do not explicitly allow this, and if it were so, it would almost make spells like “Regeneration” or “greater restoration” obsolete.

The community points out in a thread on Reddit several logical reasons that undermine questioning the existence of wheelchairs and characters with limitations in Dungeons & Dragons.

Start video
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – Second Official Trailer for the Movie

Complete Healing Simply Too Expensive

What justifications does the community provide? User RokuroCarisu refers in his thread to this statement that wheelchairs in Dungeons & Dragons make no sense because magic exists. He also refers in his argument to the spell “Regeneration,” which requires a high spell slot and extensive magical knowledge.

Assuming that one could only access such a spell as a service in larger cities, it becomes more difficult for the average population to obtain such healing. Additionally, a magical service of this kind could easily cost several 10,000 gold, which even wealthier mercenaries and others could not just afford.

Wondrous items, or special magical items, would only cost a fraction of this, making it reasonable that primarily adventurers and citizens with a bit more gold in their pockets would resort to aids like prosthetics or wheelchairs.

The existence of such aids or characters with physical limitations in Dungeons & Dragons is therefore not only logically derived from the rules, but it is also very likely intended that way.

Also, MyMMO editor Alex has a character with limitations on his current campaign alongside the group and handles it similarly:

We actually follow this argument in our campaign, that even “smaller” adventurers have a hard time overcoming such limitations or injuries – simply because it is expensive and not everyone can cast these spells. For example, we have a frequently occurring blind NPC who lost his eyes in battle against undead. But since he is just a simple sailor and not a particularly wealthy adventurer, and he does not know anyone who can cast the spell “Regeneration,” he lives with it.

This presents a nice goal for the healer in our group and a chance for character development when he can finally help the character upon reaching level 13. From my perspective, it mainly depends on how the group wants to handle it, but I also find the argument that there cannot be any wheelchairs or similar in DnD to be unnecessary.

Many other users and players, who themselves have physical limitations, agree with him in the comments. Some also highlight that there are other reasons for physical limitations beyond damaged or injured body parts. Here, the question must also be asked whether even “Regeneration” or restoration spells can actually remove this condition or whether one would not need a “Wish“, which for most characters may be nearly unattainable.

However, it must be considered that characters with limitations may fight differently or not at all. It is also important to remember that not every character wants to remove their limitation. Therefore, a committed group is required to balance this convincingly, authentically, and without too much undue advantage or disadvantage – but it is not impossible, and particularly for affected players, it is an important step to be able to realize themselves in the game.

For a group of adventurers, it can also be a goal to help characters with such limitations or to find a way to still be a formidable adventurer.

There may also be magical reasons for limitations that can only be lifted with particularly strong magic. Here you can find, for example, the spell “Wish” and other powerful representatives that you can set as a goal: Dungeons & Dragons: The 10 most powerful spells that you should definitely use

Battlefield veterans hope that weapons are tied to classes – developers give insight into what it looks like for the release

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Battlefield 6 provided a new insight into the game lists at release and explained whether you can freely choose your weapons regardless of the class.

What’s the deal with the weapons? The classic Battlefield experience involves certain weapons being tied to classes, such as SMGs to the Assault class or sniper rifles to the Recon class. In Battlefield 2042 and in early tests of Battlefield 6, all weapons were accessible to every class. However, there were some modes that tested the principle of class-bound weapons.

Veteran Battlefield players now hope that class-bound weapons will be the standard in Battlefield 6. They believe it is less chaotic and requires more teamwork. A corresponding statement on Reddit was upvoted by over 9,000 users. In the comments, players also stated that they would never play modes with open weapons.

Another player stated on Reddit: “I think class-bound weapons are a fundamental feature of Battlefield and part of its DNA.”

There are closed weapons, but also open ones

Will there be class-bound weapons in Battlefield 6? The developers explained in a community update (via X) on October 6, 2025, which playlists will be available at release. These include:

  • Solo mode playlists for favorites like Breakthrough and Conquest
  • Closed weapons experiences
    • Note: These are the matches in which weapons are class-bound
  • Intense melee playlists
  • Action-packed “All-Out Warfare” playlists

It sounds like there will be options to play with class-bound weapons, but it seems to only be an option and not the standard. The listed solo mode playlists for Conquest and Breakthrough might only be available in the form with open weapons.

However, the developers also explained that they will continue to pay attention to feedback and make adjustments to the game lists.

von Claudio Niggenkemper

Why is this so important? On the one hand, long-time Battlefield fans naturally want the gaming experience they cherished years ago. On the other hand, it requires a more tactical approach.

When certain weapons are tied to classes, the individual soldier is less flexible. If your squad is targeted by a sniper on the way to a flag, for instance, the Medic or the Assault player can’t suddenly pull out a heavy sniper rifle. You need your own Recon, smoke grenades, cover, or a vehicle. More coordination within the squad is required.

If a weapon doesn’t suit you or if the situation requires a different loadout, there are still weapons like carbines or DMRs that all classes can access. In the beta, a carbine was even my favorite weapon: One weapon saved my entry into the Battlefield 6 beta, it was the perfect choice for the first hours

The developers of New World are creating something that rarely happens: MMORPG fans are overwhelming the internet with praise.

What else is new in the big update? The developers also showcase many other changes in their video. Included are:

  • A new tarot card system: With these cards, you must solve puzzles to open new paths or loot elite chests.
  • Procedural dungeons: The so-called catacombs are a new type of dungeon, randomly generated for high replay value.
  • New raid and bosses: A new raid with the “Island of Night” will also be featured in Nighthaven. It is said to be similar to the Hoard of the Gorgons. Additionally, there will be a new boss challenge available after the main story.
  • Overhaul of gear progression and player customization: The update will adjust your gear progression to reach the new gear score. Furthermore, there will be adjustments to weapons, set bonuses, and the perk system to allow for even more flexibility in your builds.

Furthermore, the developers offer many new insights in their video into the upcoming zone, its enemies, and what they envisioned with the changes in Season 10. The update will be released on October 13, 2025, across all platforms.

Fans of MMORPGs and New World are excited

What do MMORPG fans say about Nighthaven? In the post about Nighthaven in the subreddit for MMORPGs, there are many fans of the genre praising the developers of New World.

The user natethenuclearknight writes that he has never seen any MMORPG positively received in this subreddit before. Furthermore, he wants to try out New World with his girlfriend through the crossplay feature.

SpunkMcKullins writes on Reddit that the developers are doing a great job bringing the game back up and hopes their efforts will soon reflect in player numbers. Already after the announcement of Nighthaven, New World was able to attract 5,000 new players and even be found in the top 100 on Steam.

An addon for WoW was so good and powerful that it could have made many other games better – Now fans mourn the end

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 2 minutes

After Blizzard announced new restrictions for addons for World of Warcraft, the creator behind one of the most popular modifications announced its end. The community mourns.

Which addon is it? Countless WoW players have been using the modification WeakAuras for over 10 years to enhance their gaming experience with useful overlays and sound effects.

This can be particularly useful in hectic PvP or raid fights, where you need to keep an eye on buffs and debuffs, dodge enemy attacks, and master your rotation.

The addon has become so powerful that the installed versions of a raid can communicate with each other to show all players where to stand and what to do.

The Midnight expansion fortunately brings not only addon restrictions:

Why is it coming to an end? With the upcoming expansion Midnight, Blizzard is introducing new restrictions for World of Warcraft to combat addons that have too much influence on the game and combat decisions.

For many years, developers have complained that they have to keep addons like WeakAuras in mind when designing bosses to ensure that the fights don’t become too easy due to such modifications. At the same time, they must also be completable without an addon. A difficult balancing act.

All addons that primarily allow for aesthetic adjustments, meaning they change parts of the interface or add new elements, are to continue functioning and being supported according to Blizzard.

After Blizzard released the details about the planned changes, the team behind WeakAuras announced that they will discontinue their work on the modification with the upcoming expansion. The restrictions are much more extensive than expected.

“I really and sincerely hate this change”

How is the community reacting to the end? Since the announcement of the end of WeakAuras, countless fans have been discussing on various platforms about the significance of the addon and its impact on the future of WoW. In this thread on Reddit, there are more than 4,700 upvotes and over 825 comments.

  • Josh6889 writes on Reddit: “There are incredibly many moments when I play other games and think that this game would be better with WeakAuras. The one that comes to mind especially is Path of Exile.”
  • Used_Cry_1137 explains on Reddit: “I really and sincerely hate this change. […] They never had to make encounters harder because of me or my guild members, that’s clear. We are pretty bad, but we have a lot of fun.”
  • liquidpoopcorn looks darkly into the future on Reddit: “This addon clean-up will determine many people’s success or failure with the game. I love the customization options and possibilities that addons offer me. I’m not looking forward to half-hearted replacements that may be buggy and ignored until the next patch cycle, or that offer far fewer features than what they replace.”

liquidpoopcorn refers in his comment to the fact that Blizzard has been gradually incorporating features from addons as standard options in WoW for years, often not reaching the quality of the originals. It is clear, for example: WoW is getting its own “Boss Mods”, so you won’t need addons anymore

Because a user does not want to change his motherboard, his expensive AMD processor is destroyed twice

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

A player’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D breaks down. Shortly after, he destroys another CPU with his motherboard. He now regrets not having changed the motherboard. The problem with motherboards and CPUs is known, but so far there is no real solution to the issues.

What has the user done? The user reports on Reddit that he had bought the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the ASRock X870 RS Pro WiFi in the first half of the year. However, the setup is said to have only worked for about two and a half months before his 9800X3D broke down.

Fortunately, he received a new CPU from AMD through RMA. But instead of changing the motherboard and eliminating the potential culprit, he stuck with his old AsRock motherboard. And this had fatal consequences for his CPU.

Because that was also destroyed after 2.5 months. He now regrets that he didn’t replace the motherboard, even though he had the opportunity.

Burned CPUs are known to AMD, but there is still no real solution

What is exactly behind it? For some time now, there have been problems between certain motherboards and AMD processors. Usually, it almost always involves the extremely popular Ryzen 7 9800x3D, which is currently considered the best and most popular CPU for gamers.

In most cases, as in this one, it often affected motherboards from the manufacturer AsRock. Other manufacturers, including Asus and MSI, are also said to be affected.

AMD has been feverishly searching for a solution for the broken CPUs for months and is supported by various motherboard manufacturers. A few weeks ago, AMD finally presented a solution for the problems: It is recommended to update the motherboard’s BIOS. According to AMD and AsRock, update 3.25 should fix many issues.

However, this very BIOS version 3.25 is precisely the one that the user has used, who supposedly had two processors fail on the same motherboard. Additionally, AsRock guarantees that its motherboards no longer present a problem and that the error should be fixed. This is reported by
the English-language magazine WCCFTech.

A new crossover between Marvel and DC brings together two superheroes who couldn’t be more different

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

In the world of movies and series, Marvel and DC fight for supremacy, but in the comics, the two publishers occasionally meet. Next year, it will happen again when two iconic heroes face each other in a new comic.

Mostly, these are nothing more than the wet dreams of comic fans: popular superheroes from Marvel and DC meet, work together against evil, or beat each other up.

Whatever the dreams look like, for the most part, they are unrealistic. DC and Marvel are still competing companies that don’t often collaborate. However, there is currently a reason for fans to rejoice. This month, the crossover “Deadpool/Batman” will be released in German.

In addition, there is an almost even bigger announcement: As Marvel and DC announced, the next crossover is already scheduled for 2026. It brings together big names, namely Superman and Spider-Man.

Select a MMO video…

It has been a long time …

What is known about the crossover? There is still much that is unknown. What is certain, however, is that two volumes will be published. Marvel will release “Spider-Man/Superman #1”, while DC will release “Superman/Spider-Man #1”.

It is still unknown which creative minds are behind the project or what the storyline of the comics will be. Given the shared history of the two superheroes, something epic is to be expected.

The last collaboration in comic form was several decades ago. In 1981, “Superman and Spider-Man” was published, a volume also created jointly by DC and Marvel. In it, the two superheroes had to face dangerous foes: they had to confront Doctor Doom and Parasite, two major antagonists from their respective universes.

Doom wanted to destroy all forms of energy on Earth, thus making all of humanity dependent on his own energy generator. At the same time, he used the destructive power of Hulk to plunge Metropolis into chaos and free Parasite, who was imprisoned there.

With Superman and Spider-Man, two heroes who are very different came together even back then. One is an alien from the planet Krypton, extremely strong, and a real beacon of hope. Peter Parker aka Spider-Man is (in most versions) a boy or young man from New York who comes into his powers rather unexpectedly. Both come from completely different backgrounds, so their meeting offers a lot of potential for interesting dynamics.

This would be just in time for the 50th anniversary of their very first encounter – which took place in 1976 in “Superman vs The Amazing Spider-Man: Battle of the Century.” Whether and when the volumes will be released in German is still unknown.

Fans can be excited to see how the two superheroes will meet this time and how their collaboration will unfold. Are you already looking forward to the new stories? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments. In line with the hero from Krypton: Superman can do almost anything, but his most absurd ability has not yet been brought to the cinema

Nintendo captures pirates thanks to Reddit, demands 4.5 million US dollars in damages, finds it respectful

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

Nintendo has achieved a new success in the fight against pirates. Thanks to an old Reddit post, the lawyers have caught a pirate who now has to pay 4.5 million US dollars.

The title image is a symbolic image.

Who is it about? In July 2024, it became known that Nintendo filed a lawsuit against the main moderator of the Reddit “SwitchPirates”, James “Archbox” W. (via torrentfreak). He was accused in the lawsuit of operating several illegal shops where he sold pirated games for the Switch. Furthermore, he helped others bypass Nintendo’s security measures so that the sold games would work.

To catch the pirate, Nintendo did real detective work and sifted through old Reddit posts. Only thanks to a 9-year-old post did the lawyers come across a clue that ultimately revealed his identity. The court has now made its ruling, and this will be costly for the pirate.

No strategy is no strategy

How did the trial go? After the pirate did not respond to Nintendo’s cease-and-desist order, the company sued him. They brought the charges to court, where the defendant, Reddit moderator, was given a deadline to comment on the matter.

But instead of consulting a lawyer and building a defense strategy, the defendant did nothing. He apparently did not show up in court at all, did not make a statement, and also did not present any counter-evidence that could have helped him in the situation.

But that had consequences: The court decided in favor of Nintendo America and convicted the pirate.

What does the penalty look like? Nintendo America “respectfully” urged the court to rule in their favor and impose a compensation payment of 4.5 million US dollars (about 3.85 million euros), as stated in the court documents on Bluesky.

For the reasons stated above, NOA [Nintendo America] respectfully requests that the court issue a default judgment in favor of NOA and against W. for monetary compensation in the amount of 4,500,000 as well as a preliminary injunction in the form of the proposed injunction.

Excerpt from court documents via Bluesky

The court ruled in favor of Nintendo and imposed the requested amount as a penalty. Furthermore, the now convicted pirate must refrain from his actions in the future.

How does the community react to the verdict? Even though people on Reddit don’t seem to be the biggest fans of Nintendo, many gamers think the strategy of the pirate was quite poor. They cannot understand why the then-accused did not hire a lawyer and at least tried to reduce the high compensation amount.

For them, it is clear that a court trial without their own participation would hardly lead to a positive outcome. The community sees the fact that the convicted now has to pay 4.5 million US dollars as a consequence of not caring.

Anyone who buys the physical version of Battlefield 6 for PS5 can completely avoid the download, perfect for households with slow internet connections

Claudio Niggenkemper Claudio Niggenkemper Reading time 2 minutes

The physical version of Battlefield 6 for PlayStation 5 is likely coming with the complete game on disc – buyers do not need to download anything additionally.

What is behind this announcement? According to a report from the gaming news platform TweakTown, it has been confirmed that the PS5 retail version (that is, the physical disc) of Battlefield 6 contains the entire game on the disc. This means: As soon as you insert the disc into your console, you can start right away – without any large downloads.

A super-fast internet connection is therefore not necessary, provided the day one patch is not huge.

Start video
The creators of PlayStation visited hundreds of developers, but everyone found the idea terrible

For context: Many games need to download data from the store despite being available in disc version, because the content pressed onto Blu-ray often does not reflect the final state and modern titles are now larger than the capacity of a PS5 disc. The time between when a game is duplicated for retail and the actual release is usually several weeks, during which developers continue to work on bug fixes, balancing, and optimizations. These final adjustments are provided as so-called day one patches, which must be downloaded at the first launch.

At the same time, many games with their high-resolution textures, voiceovers, and massive worlds can no longer fully fit on a 100 GB disc – additional content must therefore inevitably be installed online (via GameFaqs).

How did the information about Battlefield 6 come to light? According to the report from TweakTown, the hint comes from the official PS5 subreddit, where early buyers have seen the fully usable version on their PS5. The multiplayer servers are also said to be active already, allowing for a seamless start.

As IGN reports, players can expect the aforementioned day one patch with numerous adjustments and optimizations. IGN mentions changes to movement, weapon recoil, and the game mode Rush (via IGN).

“You can’t even copy and paste”: Teachers are disappointed with the lack of computer skills of some students

Claudio Niggenkemper Claudio Niggenkemper Reading time 2 minutes

Many teachers report that students do not master even basic computer actions — like Copy/Paste, sending files via email, or saving documents. The main reasons for this are inadequate equipment and unequal access to computers.

What about technical skills? An article published in 2023 in the French daily newspaper La Dépêche quotes teachers who are astonished at how many young people, despite growing up with screens, still do not really master basic functions on the computer (via La Dépêche).

According to Anne Cordier, a researcher in information and communication sciences, many children and teenagers are significantly less computer-savvy than often assumed.

Computer vs. Smartphone

Why is the necessary basic knowledge lacking? Although young people today grow up with smartphones, tablets, and consoles, many do not acquire productive computer skills, according to the report.

Instead of mastering Word, PowerPoint, or file management, TikTok, WhatsApp, and YouTube dominate their digital everyday life. The problem is: Those who never learn to handle a mouse and keyboard or understand a file system get stuck in digital illiteracy. In French, there is even a specific term for it: “Illectronisme”.

According to figures from the French statistics office Insee, around 15% of the population in France was affected in 2021, and even among young people, according to the ANLCI Agency, about 11% show significant difficulties with basic skills, which also includes IT competence.

The situation in Germany is no different. Although the daily lives of many young people here are also increasingly shaped by smartphones and tablets, a comparative study shows that more and more of them struggle with using computers.

According to ICILS 2023 from Paderborn University, 41 percent of eighth graders have only very basic skills in handling digital devices (via Pedocs). The authors of the study assess this proportion as alarmingly high and point out that it has significantly increased compared to the survey from 2018.

Does social class influence digital competence? According to research reports, a central factor is the social background. According to the cited Anne Cordier, it is primarily students from disadvantaged families who do not have a personal computer at home — they often only have a smartphone available, which is hardly suitable for school tasks.

The ICILS study describes the situation in Germany as follows:

In Germany, ICILS 2023 reveals glaring educational inequalities in the acquisition of digital competencies. These are unfavorable to students with migration backgrounds, to students with a different family language than German, and also to students from disadvantaged social backgrounds.

These groups of students are not equipped through school education with the digital competencies required for their future and the stability of society, and they risk being left behind.

The researchers emphasize that the existing inequalities in access to education and the acquisition of digital competencies for disadvantaged social groups must be urgently recognized and specifically addressed. (via ICILS2023).

Anne Cordier sees possible solutions in a stronger involvement of media professionals in schools. They could convey digital fundamentals even in early grades. Additionally, teaching staff need to be better trained in informatics and media competence to prepare students for an increasingly digital society. (via La Dépêche).

Battlefield 6: How much does a gaming PC cost if I want to play the shooter?

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

How much does a PC cost that can easily run Battlefield 6? MeinMMO presents computers that should have no problems with the shooter.

MeinMMO presents hardware that you should definitely be able to use for Battlefield 6 and that allows you to avoid playing on the lowest settings. We refer to the current system requirements of Battlefield 6.

We present both individual graphics cards as well as two sample PC configurations that you can either assemble at a PC company or build yourself.

Recommended graphics cards for Battlefield 6

Which graphics cards are recommended? The graphics card is usually the most important component if you want to play Battlefield. Especially if you want to play at least in WQHD, the graphics card becomes more critical. In the following section, we present recommended graphics cards for different budgets:

Budget up to 400 Euros:

  • The Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16 GB is a good, modern alternative from AMD that not only supports FSR 4.0 but is also future-proof with 16 GB of video memory. The performance is significantly above the recommended settings, offering more power than the RTX 5060 Ti and is 40 Euros cheaper.
  • The 5060 Ti 16 GB is slower and more expensive than the AMD card, but offers better ray tracing performance. The 5060 is not recommended with its 8 GB VRAM.
  • From Intel, the Arc B580 is an option, a budget graphics card priced between 220 and 250 Euros. However, this will only reach the recommended settings of Battlefield 6 and has little headroom.

Budget up to 700 Euros:

  • The RX 9070 XT is also equipped with 16 GB of video memory, offers FSR 4.0 and enough power for WQHD as well as high FPS counts. Depending on the offer, you pay around 600 Euros for the graphics card.
  • The GeForce RTX 5070 is Nvidia’s alternative and ranks slightly below the RX 9070 in raw performance, but offers better ray tracing and higher FPS rates when using DLSS.
  • From Intel, you won’t find any truly recommended graphics cards in this price range.

Example gaming PCs that should easily run Battlefield 6

How much money do you have to spend for a PC? If you want to acquire a completely new PC right in time for the launch of Battlefield 6, then you have various options.

In the following, we present two sample configurations with which you should definitely be able to meet the recommended requirements of Battlefield 6. Our calculated prices are based on PC shops that offer similar PCs. If you decide to build it yourself, you typically save about 100 Euros.

Gaming PC for the absolute minimum

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5500
  • Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 7600 or RTX 5060
  • RAM: 16 GB DDR4
  • Storage: 500 GB SSD

Price: approx. 600 – 650 Euros

This configuration just meets the minimum requirements of Battlefield 6, and according to EA, you should achieve about 30 FPS in Full HD and the lowest details. Generally, we would advise against such a low-cost configuration, as it just meets the minimum requirements and offers almost no room for improvement.

We would rather recommend the other configurations, as they are significantly more future-proof. If you spend about 150 Euros more, you already get a significantly better graphics card.

Gaming PC under 1,000 Euros

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 or Intel Core i5-12400F
  • Graphics Card: XFX Radeon RX 9060 XT
  • RAM: 16 GB DDR5
  • Storage: 1000 GB SSD

Price: approx. 820 Euros

What could be changed? If you prefer the Ryzen 5 5600 from AMD instead of the Intel CPU, you will only get DDR4 memory, but you will pay about 50 Euros more. Switching from the RX 9060 XT to the
RTX 5060 Ti would cost you about 80 Euros more.

In this price range, it is generally true that AMD’s AM5 platform with DDR5 is still more expensive than similar hardware from Intel. Intel’s CPUs consume significantly more energy. If you want to know more about AM4 and AM5, check out the following article:

AMD: Is AM4 still worth it or should you switch to AM5 right away?
von Benedikt Schlotmann

Gaming PC under 1,500 Euros

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 8700F
  • Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT
  • RAM: 32 GB DDR5
  • Storage: 500 GB SSD

Price: approx. 1,300 Euros

What could be changed? For the processor, you might alternatively choose the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which has an additional cost of about 150 Euros. The successor, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, is currently only conditionally recommendable due to issues.

Instead of the RX 9070 XT, you might also consider the non-XT model. For about 5% less performance, you would save 120 Euros.

A comic book artist sued a famous sci-fi film with Bruce Willis, even though he worked on it himself

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

A film that gained many fans since its release had to defend itself in court a few years ago: It was about the accusation of plagiarism.

Which film is it about? The Fifth Element is a film by the French director Luc Besson, which was released in 1997 and was based on a childlike idea. Over the years, the film starring Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich has become a modern classic and has a loyal fan base.

The story takes place in the future and tells of taxi driver Korben Dallas, who encounters the embodiment of the titular fifth element. Together, they do their best to confront the antagonist, represented by Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (played by Gary Oldman), and save the world.

The film was a great success, which according to the-numbers.com has grossed around 225 million € worldwide to date – and that on a budget of around 90 million €. However, the film and its director Luc Besson had to deal with a legal dispute in court. Two people believed that the film was a plagiarism.

The Fifth Element – Trailer for the Cult Sci-Fi Film by Luc Besson

Stolen from a comic?

What was the accusation? Comic artist Jean Giraud, better known by his stage name Moebius, and filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky sued Luc Besson at that time because they believed he had stolen from a comic series called “The Incal” for his film.

It first appeared in 1980 and was created after Jodorowsky had failed to adapt the novel “Dune”. Moebius was also part of this megalomaniacal project. The two continued to work together and created the comic series, which also tells a sci-fi story.

Other genres such as crime, fairy tale, or love story are mixed in. The protagonist is a private detective who comes into possession of an Incal, a valuable artifact in the form of a pyramid.

Moebius and Jodorowsky believed that Besson had used “The Incal” visually and contextually without asking for permission. The result was a lawsuit. Moebius demanded 13 million € for unfair competition and another 9 million as damages. Jodorowsky comparatively demanded little, only 700,000 €, due to alleged narrative parallels. In total, this amounted to nearly 23 million €.

It is particularly interesting that Moebius himself was involved in The Fifth Element. He was hired in advance by Besson, contributed some concept drawings, and thus influenced the look of the film. This was likely also decisive in court: the lawsuit was dismissed as the similarities between the comic series and the film were deemed minimal. Moebius also influenced other sci-fi films with his style, such as Blade Runner.

In the end, primarily two impressive works remain, a comic series and a film, both of which can coexist and are great in their own way.

Can Witchers take on all vampires? Who is the strongest mage in The Witcher? And what does a dragon have to do with all of this? In our ranking, we have addressed these questions among others and sorted the 10 most powerful characters around Geralt of Rivia by their strength.

What was the ranking based on? In The Witcher, there are incredibly many different beings, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Comparing vampires and dragons is about as reasonable as comparing apples and oranges. Okay, maybe that’s a bad example; after all, apples clearly have the upper hand! What I actually want to say is that the characters on this list are all very different, and therefore the ranking is not set in stone. Nevertheless, we have tried to evaluate as objectively as possible.

  • Decisive is primarily magical and physical strength in combat.
  • We usually refer to information from The Witcher 3, partly from the books.
  • As characters, we count all – at least partially – humanoid beings that are sentient, can speak, and are known by name.

Spoiler Alert: We explain the characters partially in relation to the plot. Thus, there are spoilers regarding the Witcher books and video games included.

Rank 10: Philippa Eilhart

In the Witcher universe, the Lodge of Sorceresses is one of the most powerful factions overall. The secret organization primarily aims to protect the balance of magic and has its hands in everything. The sorceresses are particularly notorious for their enormous influence on politics.

The founding member and head of this organization is the sorceress Philippa Eilhart, and this is definitely no coincidence. Philippa is considered one of the most powerful sorceresses ever. She is extremely talented in curses, illusion magic, and is one of the few known shapeshifters. She particularly enjoys taking the form of an owl and discreetly scouting her targets.

Philippa is not only powerful but also very ambitious and power-hungry. To achieve her goals, she does not shy away from terrible deeds, such as the assassination of her own king. The combination of powerful magic, political influence, and ruthlessness makes Philippa an opponent that one should not provoke.

Pokémon GO: New GO Pass starts today and brings you free coins and one of the most powerful attackers

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 2 minutes

There is a new GO Pass in Pokémon GO – and it brings you not only a ton of free coins but also an encounter with one of the best attackers. You don’t even need to invest real money.

What is special about the Pass in October? In Pokémon GO, you can generally earn a maximum of 50 coins per day. However, the GO Pass in October offers you the opportunity to earn around 400 Poké Coins with the free version of the pass – simply by playing and leveling up.

Additionally, you have the opportunity to unlock an encounter with Terrakion, which is not only a good Rock-type attacker but also belongs to the best attackers in Pokémon GO as a Fighting-type overall. He is a legendary Pokémon from Generation 5. With a bit of luck, you might also get him in his Shiny variant.

What else you need to know and what to expect can be found here.

On November 1 and 2, you also have another opportunity to catch up on missing levels. On these two days, there is no daily limitation for the experience points. So, you can level up a lot and grab the missing rewards.

What rewards are included in the Pass? In addition to the mentioned coins and the encounter with Terrakion in the free version, you can expect the following rewards:

  • Free GO Pass
    • 400 x Poké Coin
    • Encounter with Terrakion + special, exclusive background
    • Stardust

    • Additional encounters
    • XL Candies

Additionally, you will receive the following feature rewards:

  • Tier 1 – Rank 25
    • Open up to 40 gifts daily
      • 50 with Deluxe
    • Receive up to 125 gifts from PokéStops and Gym Discs
      • 150 with Deluxe

      • 40 with Deluxe

    • 2 x daily adventure incense duration
  • Tier 3 – Rank 75
    • 2 x Stardust and experience from hatching eggs

Additionally, there are also other, smaller rewards in both variants that are currently not known.

How to obtain the rewards? To earn rewards, you need to level up your GO Pass. This can be done by completing various activities in the game – such as catching monsters, hatching eggs, or participating in successful raids.

The amount of experience points you can earn daily for the GO Pass is limited. In the game, you will see under the GO Pass menu how many points you have already collected and which actions yield how many experience points.

Furthermore, there are regularly daily, weekly, or event-related tasks that allow you to earn additional experience points for your progress in the GO Pass.
