Digimon surprisingly gets a new season, you can watch it now

A new Anime of the autumn season, which was recently announced, is Digimon Beatbreak. You can watch it on Crunchyroll starting now.

What kind of anime is this? Digimon Beatbreak is the 11th season of the anime. However, the heroes from the first two seasons are no longer present. Instead, there is a new group of children.

This time we experience the adventures of Tomoro Tenma and his partner Digimon Gekkomon. He lives in the year 2050 and enjoys advanced technology. A central element in this season is the so-called Sapotama. 

It is a device that operates with the help of artificial intelligence. As an energy source, the device uses e-Pulse, that is, human thoughts and emotional energy. It becomes clear early on that they are the new Digivices.

The new season is receiving better feedback

Where can I watch the anime? Currently, the anime is only available on Crunchyroll. There, you can watch the series in the original Japanese audio with German subtitles. However, you need a paid subscription for that. So far, only the first episode has been released. All subsequent episodes will follow on a weekly basis.

How is the anime being received so far? So far, only one episode of the anime is available to watch. But fans are already responding very positively to it. On IMDb, unfortunately, there are still too few ratings to get a definitive picture. However, the first 71 users rate it with an average of 9.1 out of 10 stars (as of: October 9, 2025, at 9:00 AM).

This already sets the series apart significantly from its predecessor. Digimon Ghost Game, the 10th season of the anime, has a rating of only 6.3 stars based on 194 ratings on IMDb. There are also initial voices on Reddit that the new anime is better than Ghost Game.

According to users, the anime Beatbreak is aimed at a more adult audience again. There is more action, and the hopes are high that there will be an exciting story again.

Currently, fans of Digimon can look forward to plenty of new content. There is not only a new anime but also a new JRPG. And it is doing so well that it outperforms all other games in its genre: New Digimon game launches on Steam, already has more players than almost all JRPGs

German Twitch streamer experiences a chemical accident live, has to leave his teammates in Deadlock

People living in Germany have often heard their own mobile phones ring during the annual test alarms. This happened live with a Twitch streamer, but it was not a test.

Who is this about? The German Twitch streamer Metro is internationally known for his livestreams of the upcoming Valve shooter Deadlock. In his streams, which primarily take place in English, he consistently attracts thousands of viewers. In April 2025, there were even over 9,000 viewers at the same time.

In addition to Twitch, he is also active on YouTube, where he explains characters of the game to beginners and veterans, and posts not just guides but also tier lists. However, a completely ordinary stream recently took a sudden turn for the Deadlock professional.

Here you can learn more about Deadlock:

Select a MMO video…

Chemical Accident Interrupts Deadlock Match

What did the player experience during the stream? In a standard match of Deadlock, the streamer’s phone beeped with the familiar siren, similar to what one hears during test alarms. The player momentarily ignored the sound, but then paused the match and read from his phone:

Extreme danger – Public safety warning – Chemical accident – Avoid the affected area

At that moment, his teammates were unsure whether the streamer was joking with them or if he was actually in danger. He asked his team to pause the match until he knew more. The clip has since been taken offline on Twitch, but the livestream can also be found on YouTube. The YouTuber ended the stream shortly after the warning. He later commented that he was doing well.

What was the nature of the accident? On October 7, 2025, a chemical accident occurred at a galvanizing company in Mainaschaff (Aschaffenburg district, Bavaria). According to Aschaffenburg district fire chief Frank Wissel, a tire-sized metal part fell into a bath containing 6000 liters of nitric acid, as main-echo.de reports.

The metal part reacted with the acid, leading to the release of nitrous gases. The fire department warned residents of nearby towns through emergency apps and cell broadcasting about the accident and advised them to stay indoors and keep windows and doors closed.

On the evening of October 7, authorities then lifted the warning and all residents were allowed to return to their normal lives.

The warning apps also reach dedicated gamers, such as streamer Metro. Another player, however, had a different experience when he took his PlayStation on a trip, resulting in an airport evacuation: Rotten PlayStation triggers bomb alert – Hundreds must evacuate airport

Gronkh is currently trying to explain his current problem with the Twitch stream, and it gets out of hand, causing him to go offline involuntarily

The Twitch streamer Erik “Gronkh” Range is currently live, but something seems off with his overlay in the stream. A viewer points out the obvious, but by then it is too late, and Gronkh is no longer visible.

What happened in Gronkh’s stream? Gronkh was sitting in his usual Twitch set-up a few days ago, but the chat was not displayed on the screen as usual. Although Gronkh can read the chat, it is not visible on the stream overlay.

Gronkh then says: “I think one of the browser sources just caused a memory leak.” Then in the background, a message from Windows is heard, which Gronkh reacts to somewhat startled.

Further, the Twitch streamer says: “I hope I stay here a bit longer. I just hid all browser sources; almost all of them. I think some browser source has gone haywire here.”

He then turns to the chat to read it, and a viewer points out the obvious to Gronkh: The Twitch chat is not visible on the screen in the stream. A bit annoyed, Gronkh leans forward to the camera and begins to explain again, but suddenly the stream cuts off.

Gronkh, the man with the voice – Career and life of Germany’s most famous Let’s Player

OBS is out of RAM

What is behind this? The problem is probably related to OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). OBS is software that many streamers or YouTubers use for streaming or recording.

Browser sources can be inserted there, such as embedded websites or HTML snippets. Gronkh also uses this, for example, in the form of his Twitch chat as an overlay or as animations for alerts in the stream when someone subscribes.

You can watch the Twitch clip here:

According to Gronkh’s description, one of these browser sources seems to be malfunctioning. It consumes more and more RAM, which Gronkh refers to as a “memory leak,” and the PC “warns” Gronkh with a sound that more and more memory is being used.

Subsequently, Gronkh disables this browser source, or rather several of them, to solve the problem. That’s why the Twitch chat is no longer visible. However, that does not help, as the memory error is too large and OBS crashes, leading to the stream ending with the program.

This is not the first time Gronkh has had problems with his Twitch stream. A much more positive example of a “problem” with Twitch was the incident when Twitch viewers caused Gronkh’s PayPal to be suspended: Because his fans liked the Twitch streamer Gronkh so much, his PayPal account was temporarily disabled

WoW might lose a feature after 13 years: “We are seeing less and less interest”

For 13 years, fans of World of Warcraft have enjoyed a feature. But interest is waning, says Blizzard. Is the end near?

World of Warcraft has an almost endless amount to offer. Even though it sometimes seems that the MMORPG consists only of dungeons and raids, there are many other ways to express oneself in the game. Collecting toys, hunting achievements, PvP battles, or even pet battles can entertain many for hundreds, if not thousands, of hours.

However, it is precisely pet battles that are now struggling. Blizzard states that fewer and fewer players are participating.

Start video
WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features

What has been said? In the official WoW forum, Blizzard is asking for feedback on the alpha of the upcoming expansion Midnight. They are also specifically requesting feedback on pet battles, the so-called “pet battles.” Blizzard aims to make changes that pursue the following goals:

  • Those who enjoy collecting pets will be offered a significant number of pets to collect.
  • For those who enjoy pet battles, this content will still be available.
  • There will be a few new pets in Midnight that can battle.
  • All parts of the pet battle system from previous expansions will continue to function as before.

While this sounds quite good, it also raises some concerns. Because Blizzard also writes:

“Over time, we have seen that fewer and fewer people enjoy pet battles, so this is an area we are looking into more closely.”

The end of pet battles in WoW – or a necessary new beginning?

This is how the community reacts: The fans’ concern is great that Blizzard won’t properly continue the pet battle system in Midnight. The last patch already lacked proper pet battle content, and Blizzard now stating that only “a few” pets can battle in Midnight only fuels the worries further.

Some of the comments on this, such as on wowhead, are accordingly drastic:

  • “Heaven, there literally was no pet battle content on K’aresh. Of course no one can enjoy pet battles if there was literally no content for it, lol.” – dlbert2000
  • “I may be an exception in saying this publicly, but one of my main motivations for still playing WoW is because of the pets and pet battles.” – TheNemeses
  • “Yes, there is a good chance that pet battles will go the same way as archaeology as a side activity… it exists, but mostly in the past. I’m glad that pet collecting will be less tied to battles. The WoW system is really terrible for that… and I say that as someone who has put a lot of time into it.” – Razaria

Cortyn says: To be honest, I had already suspected something like this. The Patch 11.2 was a clear first indication. K’aresh came entirely without pet battles. Although there are many small creatures on the remnants of the planet, not a single one can be captured as a pet; they are all available as drops or quest rewards (or in some cases not available at all).

I would really miss it if Blizzard were to part ways with pet battles. For me, pet battles have always been something I liked to pursue when “the initial fire” of an expansion or a patch has subsided. Then I liked to expand my collection, level all pets to 25, and enjoy my collection.

But maybe this will actually help the developers come up with a way to make everything around pets a bit more exciting. Because some criticisms are indeed valid – over the years, the system has become a bit monotonous, and the peak of “ever tougher battles” has long been reached. Fresh wind in Midnight could ultimately be just what it needs.

Player has been deceiving younger brother for 6 years with the scariest character in Minecraft, everything is now at risk of being revealed – Community should save the tradition

Minecraft is already ancient, and some have been able to collect many memories in the block game with friends and family. One player even created a tradition that he still wants to keep with his little brother after 6 years; he just doesn’t know how.

What tradition is it? User SweetComment8331 reported on Reddit about a prank he has been pulling on his little brother for years. Six years ago, both siblings created a world in Creative mode where they had fun – at that time, the younger brother was 6 years old.

SweetComment8331 wanted to prank his brother and so he haunted their Creative mode world by pretending to be Herobrine – the legendary myth of the Minecraft community. He summoned lightning and manipulated the terrain. Even Notch occasionally showed up as the good guy.

He managed to keep all of this from his younger brother, but now, it has been 6 years. His brother is much more observant now and no longer easy to fool. Back then, he used his phone to join the world and cause mischief, but that would be way too risky today – the secret is at risk of being exposed.

He therefore turned to the community and asks for advice. SweetComment8331 notes that his brother is still waiting for more creepy sightings and he would love to continue the tradition without everything being revealed.

Community provides solutions for what to do next

What does the community say? Over 800 upvotes celebrate the player’s tradition, including user billhughes1960. He praises SweetComment8331, calling him a good brother and saying that his little brother should consider himself lucky to have him. Many other fans also jump in to help and suggest options for how he can keep his secret going:

  • “I did this to my child. You can add a mod to the server that performs random Herobrine actions. You can set how often it happens, etc. Make sure to set the frequency low to avoid it happening too often.” – HaugerTheHunter
  • “Run this command to make him think Herobrine has joined: /tellraw @a {“rawtext:[{“text”:”§eHerobrine has joined the game”}] }” – CreeperAsh07
  • “Ask a few good friends to help you. If you sit next to him, you can credibly deny it and act as if you have no idea what’s going on.” – liquid_at
  • “I would just sit a little away from him and play Spotify or something similar so he thinks you’re not in Minecraft, and then just join silently.” – Fozzeyy_

Other users also share their experiences, as they have also been pranked by their friends and family and scared by Herobrine. Unfortunately, we cannot say whether the tips helped. SweetComment8331 has unfortunately not yet provided an update.

What do you think of the tradition? Have you experienced anything similar among your close friends, or have you pretended to be Herobrine yourself?

Shooter on Steam is a realistic alternative to Battlefield, brings upgrades for one of the most famous battlefields in history

If you’re looking for a more realistic alternative to Battlefield, then you are well placed with another shooter on Steam. In a new update, this is now revising its map to one of the most famous battlefields in history.

Which shooter is being referred to? It is Hell Let Loose, the multiplayer shooter from developer Expression Games. Hell Let Loose is a military simulation and thus follows a more realistic approach than, for example, Battlefield and Call of Duty.

  • Up to 100 players compete against each other simultaneously on historical battlefields.
  • Gameplay aids are very limited; there is no crosshair, no hit marker, or kill confirmation.
  • Teamplay and communication with squad members are crucial in Hell Let Loose. Those who rush headlong into battle will not achieve much.
  • If you just want to relax and shoot a few rounds in the evening, Hell Let Loose is the wrong place – those who find Battlefield and CoD too hectic and unrealistic may find their home here.

The developers are currently working on a sequel set in the Vietnam War. The original will continue to receive updates. Update 18 even revised an entire map – which represents one of the most famous battlefields in history.

You can also see the refreshed map here in the trailer:

Improvements in both performance and gameplay

Which map is getting an upgrade? Stalingrad, the site of one of the most famous battles of World War II. The main goal of the developers was to improve performance to make the map accessible to players on all platforms.

In addition to improved performance, they also wanted to balance and enhance the gameplay of the map. Changes are supposed to build on the existing theme. The map should continue to retain what makes it iconic for players.

  • Also included in the update is an Armor Rework. The way armor functions will be revised. Here, the developers are relying on feedback from players to improve the system in the future.
  • The movement of tanks also now depends on the terrain – it makes a difference whether you are driving through mud, snow, or sand.

An overview of all changes can be found in this developer post on Steam.

Currently, you can get the game on Steam at a discount: Hell Let Loose costs €19.99 on Steam instead of €49.99. So if you don’t own Hell Let Loose yet or want to convince your friends, now is your chance. This offer is valid until October 20.

With Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, the military simulation is set to receive a sequel in 2026, which – as the name suggests – will take place in the Vietnam War. However, a more precise release date is not yet known.

Developers of LoL explain why you can use the best ability in the game today, even though it should have been removed years ago

In League of Legends there is a skill that is so good that almost everyone plays it – the developers considered removing it from the game years ago.

Which skill is it? In League of Legends, each player can choose two so-called Summoner Spells, which give you an additional ability independent of the champion being played.

One of the two spells played is “Flash” for most players, as it provides additional mobility. It is used for retreating or to chase down an opponent and prevent them from escaping.

Riot Games Lead Designer August Browning recently shared a story from the early days of League of Legends in a video. He said that Flash was almost completely removed from the game back then (via Reddit).

Start video

What does the developer say about Flash? Browning recounts that the development team believed in the early days of LoL that it was impossible to balance Flash properly: The spell should be completely removed to give players a real choice and not everyone to play Flash.

Then, Browning reports, a developer posed a crucial question: “Is the game better if everyone has Flash?” And the answer the team came up with was, according to Browning: “Yes, the game is significantly better and more enjoyable.”

The team found that the enjoyment of the players was more important than strict balancing – so Flash was allowed to stay.

Even today, Flash is still extremely popular among players and is used so often that it stands out when a player does not use the spell. Even among professionals, Flash is an important part of a team’s strategy.

The term “Summoner Spell” originates from the original lore of League of Legends, but Riot completely restructured the lore of the popular MOBA in 2014. What it originally meant with the summoners can be read here on MeinMMO: Many have forgotten, but over 10 years ago, an important part of LoL’s story was banned, but not everything was removed

Season start for the important release of the competition

What does this have to do with the competition? One day after the start of the new season of Black Ops 6 is the release of Battlefield 6, the biggest competitor of CoD.

The entire gaming industry and most shooter fans are eagerly watching the release of Battlefield 6. After the predecessor Battlefield 2042 disappointed even longtime fans, the beta of Battlefield 6 was able to convince many players and even broke a 3-year-old record of Call of Duty with over 521,000 players on Steam.

The upcoming installment of Call of Duty, Black Ops 7, is being viewed critically. Even under the trailer for Black Ops 7, some users on YouTube commented that this trailer made them decide to go for Battlefield 6. Even former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra is convinced that Battlefield 6 will bury Call of Duty this year.

What does Season 6 bring in terms of new content? During Season 7, you will receive four new maps, two limited-time game modes, and four new weapons. Additionally, there will be new bundles and mode as well as Halloween events for Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

Last week, the beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 also took place, which was even spontaneously extended by one day and now ends on-time with the start of Season 6 on October 9 at 6:00 PM.

During the beta, Activision responded to a long-standing wish of the community and introduced a playlist with reduced SBMM. A German CoD YouTuber is confident that this step is thanks to Battlefield: German YouTuber known for Call of Duty thanks Battlefield for finally making Black Ops 7 fun.

The possibly best game of the year is getting even better, promises a big update as a thank you for a special milestone

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is being considered by many players as a contender for Game of the Year – and it has a good chance of winning. Now, the developers are celebrating a special milestone with a major update.

What is this milestone? Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold a total of 5 million copies worldwide since its release in April 2025. This was announced by Sandfall Interactive, the development studio behind the RPG hit, on the official website of the game (www.expedition33.com).

“In April we released Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. 5 months later, we’ve sold 5 million copies worldwide! We’ve been completely blown away by the constant support from so many of you – Your artwork, your stories, your cosplays and your endless creativity has been loved and appreciated by all of us,” the developers say.

As a thank you, Sandfall is now announcing a major update for the RPG.

New location and fresh enemies for strong players

What is this update? The promised update will deliver, among other things, new content and additional languages for the user interface. The update is set to be released for all platforms on which the game is available. According to the developers, it includes:

  • A new, playable environment – with new enemies and “surprises to discover”
  • Challenging new boss fights for players in the later game stages
  • New costumes for every member of the expedition
  • New text and UI localizations in Czech, Ukrainian, Latin American Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian
  • And even more unannounced innovations

In an interview with Eurogamer, Director Guillaume Broche clarifies that players should not expect a “huge DLC expansion with hours of content,” but explains: “There is plenty to do and collect … [and] some improvements that the community has been asking for very strongly.”

When is the update coming? A release date for the update is currently not known.

The year 2025 was filled with games that deserve the title “Game of the Year.” It’s quite difficult to choose a winner. However, MyMMO author Cortyn states: No matter which game becomes Game of the Year – we all won this time

The developers of Dawn of War 4 may have leaked one of the most popular characters from Warhammer 40,000

With Dawn of War 4, the dark universe of Warhammer 40,000 receives a new entry in the popular strategy game series. The German development studio King Art, based in Bremen, gave an interview to a local television station. During this, one of the franchise’s most popular characters was possibly leaked.

What was leaked in the developer interview? The television station “buten un binnen” is part of Radio Bremen. In an interview, the developer of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 discussed some details of the strategy game. The video has since been removed by buten un binnen.

According to the website pcgamesn.com, there was discussion about a vehicle named Repulsor Executioner belonging to the Dark Angels, and some assets from the development were shown. Three of these files were labeled with the nickname of one of the most popular characters within the universe: “TheLion”

Start video
Der Gameplay-Trailer zu Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War 4 sieht aus wie ein Cinematic

Who has this nickname and is the popular character? “The Lion” is a nickname of the Primarch of the Dark Angels: Lion El’Jonson. This Primarch is one of the best fighters in the galaxy and ranks second in our ranking of the strongest loyal leaders of the Imperium of Mankind.

In a poll (40k.gallery), he even managed to secure the first place among the most popular Primarchs.

YouTube viewers provide some clarity about the files

What did a YouTube viewer say about it? The YouTuber Chapter Master Valrak uploaded a video on his channel regarding the leaked files. In the comments, an animator chimed in and clarified the program (Maya) that was used in the interview.

derpherp7432 comments that it is likely a 3D geometry related to the Repulsor Executioner, referring to “The Lion”. The user also writes that it seems very unlikely that the developers accidentally selected an entire Primarch in the editor.

Another animator agrees with the user: Under the comment from derpherp7432, another animator shared his opinion on the topic. TauEnjoyer merely referred to the file as a controller. A controller in the program Maya is an element used to move a 3D model, similar to the Repulsor Executioner tank.

Nevertheless, the question remains why the interview was taken offline shortly after airing.

For MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus, the first entry in the Dawn of War series is among the best strategy games ever. He was therefore very enthusiastic about the demo of the fourth installment at gamescom 2025, which he was able to play for 30 minutes: I played Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 for just 30 minutes but I’m already more excited than I have been in years.

2 kids cannot continue playing a popular simulation on Steam due to a bug, developers respond with the best possible support

The developers of a simulation game on Steam not only impress with their game but also with their generosity, as reported by an excited father. 

What does the father report? The gamer and Reddit user CardiacCats89 writes in a post on Reddit that he has encountered game developers “who actually care.” He reports that his 11-year-old twin sons love the Waterpark Simulator on Steam but encountered a bug a few days ago that prevented them from continuing: a completed quest was not marked as finished and kept the two kids from progressing in the game.

The father reported this in a Steam discussion on the simulator’s related page and received a response from the developers in less than 24 hours. 

Thanks to the report, they were able to find the bug and will fix it for all players in the next update. They also took care of the children’s game progress so they can pick up right where they left off after the quest. But the support did not stop there.

“I added a bit more money to their game so the two can build more things faster ;)” the developer writes in conclusion (via Reddit).

Here you can see the trailer for the Waterpark Simulator that the two sons of the gamer love:

In the Waterpark Simulator on Steam, you can thrill your visitors with gigantic water slides or put them in danger

“That’s what I call S-tier support”

What exactly is the Waterpark Simulator? The simulation game Waterpark Simulator by CayPlay was released on August 22, 2025, on Steam, where it currently receives “extremely positive” reviews (95% of 4,273 user reviews are positive).

The game is a first-person management simulator in which you design, build, and ultimately manage your own water park. And while it starts with the creation of various water slides, it does not stop there, as customer service is a big part of the Waterpark Simulator.

Players can aim at visitors with water guns, throw inflatable beach balls at their heads, or push them off diving boards if they take too long. All of this is staged with a silly-looking but fun ragdoll animation, as bodies fly through the air via the somewhat “unsecured” water slides.

How do players react to the father’s experience and the game in general? The community is just as excited about the developers’ response as the father himself: “I was really overwhelmed that they fixed the save file even before the actual patch. And on top of that, they gave the kids more money to spend! I mean, who does that?” (CardiacCats89 on Reddit).

“That’s what I call S-tier support,” writes Sydnxt on Reddit, and Logical-Two6382 has to agree: “Developers like these are really the best! I wish their game much success!” (via Reddit).

Waterpark Simulator is praised on Steam primarily for its funny animations, organizational gameplay, and overall humor: 

  • “This developer knows that every game instantly gets better with the integration of ragdoll physics” (S Tier Puppy on Steam)
  • “Waterpark Simulator is just pure stress, but in a fun way.” (MadMiez on Steam)
  • “At first, I didn’t think much of it; it looked a bit like streamer bait. Once I actually played it, I discovered a much better game than I had expected. It has just the right amount of nonsense, but also a whole lot of charm. It’s worth spending time on the proper design of the park.” (djelectric on Steam)

With the “streamer bait,” the author of the last comment wasn’t completely wrong, as Gronkh has also had his first experiences with his own water park in the simulator. This title wouldn’t bother the developers too much, as they previously collaborated with a streamer to record sounds for the Waterpark Simulator: Developer adds Twitch streamer to his game after she made seagull sounds for 10 minutes

CoD: Black Ops 7 is already celebrating in the Open Beta that cheaters have no chance, many affected complain: I didn’t do anything at all

The developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 celebrate the success of their new anti-cheat system in the beta. They announce a high success rate while some players claim they have been banned unjustly.

What are the developers celebrating? The developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 celebrated their anti-cheat Ricochet in a post on X.com. It was implemented in the current beta of the shooter and achieved significant success.

The developers explain that they stopped 97% of cheaters within the first 30 minutes after login and that less than 1% of the cheaters managed to complete a match.

As a reason for the improvements, they primarily point to the intensified TPM 2.0 checks, which are supposed to prevent cheaters from succeeding. The anti-cheat system also relies on hardware bans. However, it seems that the system has also caught some innocent players.

Here you can watch a trailer for CoD: Black Ops 7:

Banned players assert their innocence

What problems are there? Under the developers’ post, many fans are upset about false bans. They insist they never cheated but were banned by the new anti-cheat system while being completely innocent.

Many players report in their comments on X.com that they received a so-called “shadow ban” that prevents them from participating in the game’s matchmaking. They demand on X.com that the ban be lifted and that they be allowed to play again.

Other users claim, however, that the anti-cheat makes no mistakes and that even the seemingly innocent players have cheated. Whether the anti-cheat actually bans innocent players is unclear, but the large number of complaints is an indication of this, even though each case would likely have to be examined individually.

How will the fight against cheaters proceed? The developers explain in the post that not all levels of the anti-cheat were activated in the beta yet. They plan to save that for the release of the shooter on November 14, 2025, and then be even more stringent.

In the long run, the developers want to implement new systems to combat cheaters. But the manufacturers also have to deal with Activision. The developers stated that they have forced over 40 cheat providers and sellers of cheats to shut down since the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on October 25, 2025.

The fight against cheaters is essential for shooters like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Even the first rounds in the beta had cheaters that frustrated players. The fact that they now want to eliminate these players for an extended period and sustainably will please many fans, as long as it doesn’t affect innocent players. Those who want to cheat can now do so legally: Black Ops 7 rewards the best players with a built-in wallhack, fans ask: “What has happened to the CoD I love?”

Player shares creative solution to get rid of immortal enemies in Dungeons & Dragons – Community has more ideas

Some opponents can become quite annoying in Dungeons & Dragons – especially when you just can’t get rid of them. A player is being celebrated by the community for his approach to tackle the problem.

What does the player suggest? User Mathota shares on Reddit his creative approach to finally get rid of immortal adversaries in Dungeons & Dragons. Especially against opponents that regenerate a lot or resurface once they are taken down, heavier artillery often needs to be deployed.

He therefore suggests doing the following:

  • Cast “Flesh to Stone” on the opponent
  • When petrified, cast “Transmute Rock” and turn the opponent into mush
  • Then, use “Purify Food and Drink” to draw the earth out of the mush
  • Simply drink the remaining water

This way, the opponent cannot regenerate or revert back. However, this solution would require that the adversary is not immune to petrification or can resist the spell in the first place.

It can certainly be discussed whether this approach is even permissible and whether the dungeon master will allow the solution. Because “Transmute Rock” only works on non-magical stone, for example. Does an enchanted enemy, who has turned into stone, count as magical? Or whether “Purify Food and Drink” could even turn mush back into water is a point that might not be accepted by everyone.

Nevertheless, around 8,300 upvotes and 333 comments (as of October 8, 2025, 11:30 AM) celebrate his idea and discuss what other solutions might exist.

With the probably most famous lich from Dungeons & Dragons, this would likely not work:

Start video
Dead by Daylight: Dungeons & Dragons brings the wicked lich Vecna

“Do you want to be possessed? Because that’s how you get possessed.”

What does the community say about his idea? The users under his thread celebrate his idea and also discuss whether they would allow it or not. They are divided in opinion, based mainly on the previously mentioned discussion, primarily whether “Transmute Rock” or “Purify Food and Drink” would even work.

In general, they agree that this approach is rather unlikely to be feasible. Other users therefore suggest slightly different methods to get rid of the annoying opponent:

  • Petrify the opponent, smash them into small pieces, and distribute the pieces everywhere to make reassembly unlikely.
  • Knock out the opponent, cook them, and feed them.
  • Let the barbarian eat the mush, alternatively also the opponent from stone.
  • Specifically turn the opponent into rock salt and sink them in the sea to dissolve.
  • After petrification, use “Stone Shape” to alter the stone so that the immortal is no longer a threat and then leave them petrified.
  • Instead of drinking the water at the end, simply cast “Destroy Water”.

Others see Mathota’s solution as a solution but would use this situation as a dungeon master to still enforce consequences. Again, other users simply celebrate his idea and would do the same:

  • lemons_of_doubt writes: “Do you want to be possessed? Because that’s how you get possessed.”
  • Sampleswift interjects: “And then the immortal villain succeeds in escaping from the drinker with waterbending…”
  • Xecluriab states: “If an immortal fails the saving throw against Flesh to Stone, they deserve to be turned into urine.”
  • chrisred244 jokes: “And thus, my friend, you get evil magical kidney stones.”

In general, the entire thread is to be seen with a wink, as it is highly unlikely that such a sequence can be carried out against a really powerful opponent.

Still, it can serve as inspiration, and as always, it depends on your group and the dungeon master how strictly the rules should be adhered to allow for epic or funny moments.

If you’re looking for a suitable villain to try this out and get creative, you should rather avoid some particularly powerful representatives. You can find 10 strong opponents that you should avoid with such ideas here in our list: Dungeons & Dragons: 10 powerful villains you should know

One of the best Warhammer games is falling out of favor with fans on Steam, here’s what lies behind the negative reviews

Actually, Total War: Warhammer 3 is among the best gameplay experiences available for the franchise on Steam. However, fans are currently very angry, and the reviews are in the basement. But what is the reason for this?

What is going on with Total War: Warhammer? The third part of the series is currently being heavily criticized on Steam. As of October 8th, 11:27 AM, the 3,226 recent reviews of the game are “mostly negative” (21%), and overall the reviews have dropped to “mixed” (69%).

Many fans are expressing their dissatisfaction with the current development of the game. Three factors are playing a role here:

  • Currently, a severe AI bug is plaguing many players. It prevents their armies from recruiting new units on the campaign map. This also affects the newly improved Tomb Kings and Lizardmen in Patch 6.3
  • Recently, “LegendofTotalWar”, a well-known content creator in the Total War community, announced in a video on YouTube that he would be leaving the series and deleting his channel on January 1, 2026. Days earlier, he had complained about the AI bug in another YouTube video.
  • The DLC Tides of Torment, which is supposed to deliver new content for the three factions Slaanesh, Norsca, and High Elves, has been delayed for a long time – the first info on the DLC was available 6 months ago; MeinMMO reported on it.

The bug and the (lack of) communication from Creative Assembly on this issue are receiving the harshest criticism.

There is still more than this teaser available for the new DLC Tides of Torment:

CA gives factions a “lobotomy”

What is this bug about? This bug only became apparent to many players with the release of Patch 6.3. According to a recent blog from the developers, the update is not supposed to be the reason for it (you can read the entire blog on community.creative-assembly.com).

  • Originally, this bug only affected factions that have “Unit Caps”, meaning limits for units. This caused them not to be able to recruit new units correctly and thus remained inactive on the campaign map.
  • Changes to resources (referred to by the developers as “pooled resources”) that the Lizardmen and Tomb Kings can use to recruit units may have caused this bug to extend to additional factions. Fans have claimed that several factions have been “lobotomized”.

This blog further states that the developers have been working on a solution since the release of Update 6.3.1. However, the community believes that the developers only addressed the problem after a prominent YouTuber (specifically LegendofTotalWar) pointed it out in his video. A statement from the developers on the official Discord server came only days later.

According to the developers, finding a fix for this bug was not easy: after all, there are currently around 200 resources of this kind that are used differently. However, the developers announce that by the week of October 6th, a hotfix should be released. This is still under review but initial tests have yielded positive results.

How to solve the problem – for now

Here is how you can minimize the problem right now: If you want, you can revert the game on Steam to an older patch. At least until the hotfix is here. You may lose improvements for Tomb Kings and Lizardmen, but you won’t face the enhanced bug either.

To do this, right-click on the game in your library, then left-click on “Properties”. Under the “Betas” tab, you can revert to Patch 6.2.2, for example. However, this may not fix the issues with the unit caps, only those with the pooled resources.

Under “Beta participation”, you can revert to an earlier patch – perfect if you want to finish an old campaign or if a bug is disturbing the gameplay experience.

The newest DLC, Tides of Torment, was originally supposed to be released in the summer. Now fans are wondering if the developers will make it by the end of October. More about the reasons behind the delay can be found here: Total War: Warhammer 3 is planning a huge DLC for the summer, aims to boost 2 factions, now has to delay everything.

After almost 1,800 days, the most unpopular champion in LoL gets a new skin, player says: “Five damn years for such crap”

In League of Legends there are more than 1,000 skins for a total of 171 champions. One of them had to wait a long time for his new digital outfit, but players are somewhat disappointed.

Which champion is it about? The Crystal Scorpion, Skarner, is the least popular champion of League of Legends. Even after his major rework in 2024, he couldn’t increase his popularity. According to statistics from the site op.gg, Skarner is in last place with a pick rate of only 0.7%.

In the last 10 years, Skarner has only received two new looks and is thus an envious observer of the champions with the most skins in LoL. Now the scorpion finally gets a new skin for his collection.

Start video

When did Skarner last receive a skin? According to a LoL Wiki, the last skin for Skarner was released on November 24, 2020. That would be a total of 1,778 days or almost 5 years if we count until October 7, 2025, when the skin was presented by the YouTube channel SkinSpotlights. The new “Mecha Kingdoms Skarner” is supposed to be part of the next Battlepass of League of Legends.

In 2025, Riot started awarding skins as rewards for the Battlepass. Some of these skins have been received so poorly by players that Riot had to rework them later.

Players are disappointed with the new Skarner skin

What do players say about the new optional look of the champion? Under the introduction video on YouTube, many LoL players cannot believe that Skarner is getting a new skin. The user immortalspear, for example, never thought he would see this day.

Another user named SkarnerGA, who is obviously a Skarner fan, writes that players have waited five years and then get such “rubbish”. Another Skarner main (manuelghezzodebadin9898 on YouTube) commented under the video that while he is happy to see a new skin, it is quite disappointing.

Are there also positive opinions about the new skin? Yes, some players find the new animations and ability effects successful. The YouTube user PsychoDiesel48 believes that the new sounds of the Mecha Kingdoms skin would justify the price alone.

At least the new skin is not hidden behind a huge price tag like the 450€ skin from Faker or his “Hall of Legends” successor Uzi. He has also received an expensive skin, but not for his main champion: A legendary pro is honored for his achievements in LoL, receives a 430€ skin, but not for his main.

7 vs. Wild producer talks about the end of Fritz Meinecke, reveals what has been learned from him

The producer of 7 vs. Wild has revealed how to deal with the exit of the format’s founders and what has been learned to make the series good again.

Who is it about? Nils Trümpener is the Executive Producer of 7 vs. Wild and has been involved since Season 3 of the show. After the exit of the founders, he is now the one who decides the future of the format. How the series will look and what adventure the contestants will experience is in his hands.

In the first episode of the new “Behind the Scenes” series of 7 vs. Wild, the producer talked about the departure of the original founders, especially Fritz Meinecke. He revealed how they plan to move forward in the future.

Former contestant Knossi also wants to react to 7 vs. Wild again this year, here you can see more about him:

“I am a fan”

What does the producer say about Meinecke’s exit? Trümpener explains in the video that the production knew how fans would react when Meinecke left as the face of the show 7 vs. Wild. At the same time, he is not angry with the outdoor influencer; on the contrary.

The producer declares himself a fan of Meinecke in the video, praising the collaboration and the ideas that the creator had thought of for the previous seasons: “In Season 4, I experienced him as a very collegial team player with his knowledge and know-how, and I am a confessed fan.” He also praises the co-founders Maximilian Kovacs and Johannes Hovekamp.

This is not the first time that a format separates from its face or that the face of a major brand wants something different and does not want to continue. It usually goes on very well.

Executive Producer Nils Trümpener on YouTube

Instead of anger between the production and Fritz Meinecke, as there has been in past seasons, both sides seem to be satisfied with their path. The producer also explains how they want to move forward.

How will 7 vs. Wild continue? 7 vs. Wild will continue without the founders. To make that happen, the production company wants to retain the core of the show while simultaneously creating an entertaining and exciting adventure journey for the fans.

Nils Trümpener explains that they still intend to send 7 participants into nature away from civilization for a period of time, and they must continue to survive without contact with other people.

The well-known restrictions, such as a maximum number of items that can be taken or a resource-poor area, will also continue to exist. He explains in the video: “That is the core of the brand, we want to maintain that. It is very important to us because we know where 7 vs. Wild comes from.”

The idea of 7 vs. Wild is therefore to continue without the founders, and the production is confident that it will succeed. Meanwhile, the fifth season of 7 vs. Wild is receiving better acclaim than expected: The new season of 7 vs. Wild starts unusually well, but viewers suddenly have to pay for it

Twitch streamer surprises Papaplatte with advertising on Times Square in New York, presents new jersey of the Tiki Tacker

His Twitch colleague prepared a special surprise for Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller, and it took place on another continent. Bastian “BastiGHG” is displaying an advertisement on Times Square in New York City to show it to Papaplatte.

Who is surprising whom and how? The Twitch streamer BastiGHG started his Twitch livestream as usual and was live together with Papaplatte. He pretended to just discover that you can watch the current events on Times Square in a livestream.

He lets Papaplatte search for the livestream as well. Just when Papaplatte wants to find another stream from Berlin, BastiGHG reminds him to have another look at Times Square. There, an advertisement features BastiGHG and Papaplatte. A jersey is being promoted.

Papaplatte is visibly surprised by the advertisement and asks: “Wait a minute, is this really real?” (Source: twitch.tv from minute 24:56). BastiGHG confirms it but later explains that the video is a loop. The advertisement was indeed displayed on Times Square, but a recording was made to show it to Papaplatte.

The preparations for the new season of the Kings League will start this month in October, and BastiGHG says about their team: “The Tiki Tacker want to tackle again” (Source: twitch.tv from minute 25:21). According to BastiGHG, the design of the jerseys is inspired by the patterns of tacklers.
