Warhammer introduces new dwarves who do forbidden things, directly converting hundreds of fans

von Benedict Grothaus

The worst new Warhammer game on Steam is really good, but I still can’t recommend it

von Benedict Grothaus

The community is particularly excited that the Skaven have a significant role in Sigmar’s Toll. The ratmen already play an important role as antagonists in Age of Sigmar and are currently being built up as villains. They even have a fifth Chaos God in Age of Sigmar.

The setting itself was long deemed rather unpopular because it consists of elements from Fantasy and 40k and was seen by many fans as a poor successor to Warhammer Fantasy – which, so the impression went, was stifled in favor of Age of Sigmar. However, the world has significantly gained popularity: Age of Sigmar was long considered the least popular Warhammer, now it delights fans: “High Fantasy meets Heavy Metal”

Samsung’s X account mocks the new iPhone 17 for lacking a useless feature, Apple fans don’t find it funny at all

Benedikt Schlotmann 11. September 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Apple has unveiled its new iPhone 17. Samsung’s X account mocks the lack of innovation. However, the community does not find this funny at all and complains that such an action is really embarrassing.

What has Apple unveiled? At its last keynote on September 9, 2025, Apple introduced its next generation of iPhones. In addition to the iPhone 17, they also unveiled an ultra-thin Air model. However, especially the color selection for the iPhone 17 has previously confused fans.

Now the X account of Samsung has also taken the iPhone 17 to task. But fans in the community do not find this very funny.

Samsung account complains about lack of innovation and the weak camera

This is what Samsung did: The US X account of Samsung made several posts directly referencing the iPhone 17. For example, they said:

“Let us know when it can be folded.” – With this, the account is likely referencing that Apple has not yet introduced a foldable model, unlike Samsung with its Fold series.
“48 MP x 3 are not 200 MP.” – The Galaxy S25 Ultra, in comparison, features a camera with 200 megapixels (MP).

The fans are not thrilled: The reactions from the community are lukewarm.
The majority on Reddit finds this behavior “embarrassing” or “pathetic” and inappropriate for such a large company as Samsung.

As someone explained on Reddit: Samsung had previously mocked Apple, only to later benefit from Apple’s “innovations.” As an example, he cites the removal of the headphone jack:

Do you remember when headphone jacks were common and Samsung mocked Apple for removing them – only to do the same shortly afterwards?

The high price and weight of these models also often speak against a foldable smartphone. Many therefore do not understand why Samsung emphasizes the advantage of this so much and mocks Apple for having refrained from this useless feature so far.

And others add that Samsung did the same with the charger: Shortly after Apple removed the charger from its iPhone’s packaging, Samsung also removed it from the packaging of its Galaxy models.

The sense of foldable phones, which Samsung emphasizes here, is also debated. According to NSysgroup.com, foldable phones are subject to more wear due to their construction, “which can lead to more frequent failures and, consequently, higher repair or replacement costs for consumers.”

LoL team places pro on the bench for making derogatory comments about women, donates his prize money to a women’s organization

Nico Scheibel 11. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

League of Legends is for every gender. A professional expressed derogatory comments about women during a stream, and his team benched him for it. The prize money is to be donated to an organization that supports women in gaming.

Which professional is it about? The Belgian top laner, Bwipo, has been in the Esports scene of League of Legends since December 2015. Since November 2023, he plays for the American team FlyQuest and competes in the LTA (League of Legends Championship of The Americas). Recently, Bwipo was able to win the third split of the LTA in 2025 with FlyQuest (lol.fandom.com).

What did Bwipo say? In a stream on his Twitch channel on September 9, 2025, Bwipo commented on women in League of Legends. According to him, women should not play competitive games during menstruation. A X user published the clip of his remarks.

His team, FlyQuest, shortly thereafter released a statement regarding Bwipo and clarified the actions against the player.

In the video, you see the trailer for Season 3 in 2025 of League of Legends:

What actions is Bwipo facing? FlyQuest released a statement regarding their top laner on X. Bwipo will miss the next series of the LTA playoffs, and his prize money will be donated to an organization that supports women in gaming. FlyQuest did not specify which organization that would be. FlyQuest clarifies that they do not tolerate such behavior from their players and states the following in the statement:

Comments that could discourage even a young woman from pursuing her dream of being a professional harm the future of esports, and we take this very seriously. While our first impulse is to educate when such obviously ignorant comments are made, taking responsibility is also a core value of our organization.
FlyQuest (via X)

What does Bwipo himself say? On his X account, Bwipo posted a small apology and writes that he wants to take the first steps to reflect and do better:

Hello everyone, I know I messed up. My comments were ignorant and disrespectful towards women, including those close to me. I apologize to those I hurt. I regret using my platform to fuel hate and sexism instead of providing support, and I will take steps to reflect, listen, and do better.

Nightreign brings 2 changes that make the second night relentless, demanding everything from you before the final boss.

Caroline Fuller 11. September 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

With the new update “The Depths of Night,” Nightreign brings several adjustments to the game. However, players have now discovered just how these changes really affect the typical gameplay flow and realize how merciless the second night truly is – and that literally.

What changed with the update? With the update “The Depths of Night,” Nightreign not only provided balancing updates for characters, leave penalties, and bug fixes. Players have actually felt what has changed in the game since its release.

The player and Reddit user volmat shows in a clip on Reddit how the deadly night has transformed from “manageable with enough planning” to absolutely merciless. And that can be taken literally.

Aside from the increased damage from the rain, there are no more saving grace spots after defeating the boss of the second night. They may still be in the same locations as during the day, but they no longer restore your health points or healing potions.

This ruins a fairly established tactic of the second night, disappointing many players while also making just as many others quite happy.

Here you can see the trailer for Elden Ring: Nightreign:

The night is now as dangerous as it always should have been

Which tactic is being referred to? Previously, the grace spots outside the safe zone remained active even after defeating the boss of the second night, and the rain only slowly shrank the health bar, making it a common tactic to run around the map again before facing the final Nightlord to collect lost runes or farm additional enemies.

You just had to find a grace spot occasionally to restore your life and get new healing potions.

Motivated teams could scrape together the remaining runes for another level, but for some players, this additional farming, which sometimes dragged on, became quite tiresome.

How navigating in the deadly rain looks without the grace spots after the new update can be seen in volmat’s clip on Reddit:

How does the community react? The community must acknowledge that the formerly less threatening night in Nightreign is now genuinely intimidating, where one should think twice about additional farming in the danger zone:

“The problem was that people always made the others wait because they were so eager to go in,” replies vivir66 (on Reddit).

Battlefield 6 replicates one of the biggest successes of Call of Duty, fans were initially skeptical, now they are looking forward to it

Christos Tsogos 11. September 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

A Warzone from Call of Duty in Battlefield 6? You read that right, such a mode is set to arrive in the new shooter, promising to impress fans with its intense Battle Royale gameplay. How you can test it out and what to expect is detailed here.

Battlefield 6 gets a Battle Royale? That’s correct. The mode doesn’t have a name yet, but it will throw you onto a huge map where you must survive, while other players and a deadly ring are on your tail.

In a recent blog post on x.com, DICE has shared details about the Battle Royale, discussing what you can expect and how the mode is set to differ from well-known competitors such as Fortnite and Warzone (Call of Duty).

Start video

Battlefield 6: Trailer for the PC version’s graphics

Autoplay

Battlefield 6 is charting its own course

What can you expect in Battle Royale? It is important for DICE to remain true to the core DNA of Battlefield. The mode is designed to stay realistic and tough, immersing players in the combat. A total of 25 squads with four players each will be dropped onto the map.

Vehicles will be available, allowing you to gain a tactical advantage and maneuver faster through the map. The familiar classes will also be there, each bringing their own perks based on selection – a balanced team can be the difference between victory and defeat.

The more you play the mode, the more XP you earn to level up your classes and gain better perks. Missions on the map will also provide a bonus in XP, making leveling up easier.

Revives will be possible as well, since it can quickly happen that you bite the dust on the map. To apply pressure, like in Fortnite and Warzone, there will be a ring that constantly shrinks the map, but it has a fine difference – it kills you instantly on contact.

In the competition, players had the chance to withstand the storm or gas cloud, only taking some damage to their health bar in return. Battlefield, however, does not want to compromise and aims to provide a tough experience. Those who own Battle Labs will soon be able to test the mode and experience its style for themselves.

What do fans say about the Battle Royale? Opinions were initially lukewarm at the announcement, as a post on Reddit reveals. Many long-time veterans are not keen on the idea of Battlefield now having such a mode. They wish DICE would focus more on the multiplayer mode.

However, now that new information about the mode is available, opinions have changed. Here’s what can be heard in the initially linked X post:

“Battlefield veterans don’t want a BR… Blah blah blah blah blah. As a longtime fan of Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Warzone (when it was still good), I can’t wait to see how this turns out. Firestorm was okay, but it was missing something. If this incorporates all the key elements from BF6, it will be awesome!” – @bealeiam
“I can’t wait! I hope we have a good alternative to Warzone.” – @by_mosa
“This sounds incredible! The first game in a long time that I’ve pre-ordered well before the release. I can’t wait for the campaign, not to mention MP, Labs, and BR!!!” – @followingcs2
“Thank goodness there are no gear items, only weapons that you get in the right way through looting, etc., just as a BR should be! I’m also glad the fire [the ring] kills immediately.” – @THEBIGPEANUT257

Are you excited to see how the studio has built the mode, or would you prefer if the developers focused solely on the multiplayer mode?

Gloomy RPG on Steam brings huge update, promises pets, mounts and New Game+

Alexander Mehrwald 11. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a dark role-playing game on Steam, reminiscent of Skyrim. The title has now received a substantial update that makes the already extensive game even bigger.

What does the update in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon bring? With the free update to version 1.1, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon not only gets extensive adjustments and bug fixes but also a ton of new content. This includes mainly:

New Game Plus (NG+), allowing you to start a new playthrough not from zero
A transmog system that lets you visually customize your armor
Improved third-person camera
New forms for Qrko (the cute pet), also as a mount and summoning
New weapon and armor sets
3 new dungeons
6 new quests

Especially the New Game Plus will please many players, as Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon comes with around 100 different endings, and a fresh start with a more powerful character should make life easier for many.

Only your King’s Power, learned recipes, all quests, keys, and readable items will be reset. Everything else you can keep and start the new run. As a result, while the enemies are stronger, they also drop more and better loot in some cases.

The transmog system also now offers you the opportunity to visually customize your equipment. Go to your crafting station and apply the desired appearance over your currently equipped armor pieces.

The new quests and dungeons are also likely to add a few more hours of gameplay – the base game has already offered a lot of content since its release.

If Skyrim was too one-dimensional with its single story ending, then in this dark version of the Arthurian legend, one could find a treasure in which they can pour several hundred hours if they want to see all the endings.

7 vs. Wild presents the replacement for Fritz Meinecke, fans find him surprisingly good

Cedric Holmeier 11. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Recently, there has been a lot of trouble regarding the founder’s farewell from the show 7 vs. Wild. Especially the departure of Fritz Meinecke caused confusion among fans. Now the creators are introducing the face of the new season, and fans find it surprisingly good.

What happened to Fritz Meinecke? 7 vs. Wild was created by Fritz Meinecke, Johannes Hovekamp, and Maximilian Kovacs, and they also developed the first seasons themselves. After the second season, they sold the project to the production company CaliVision, which then produced further seasons with the help of the founders.

However, after the 4th season, it was over for the original founders, and it was clear that season 5 would be created without them. This upset fans because the production company had repeatedly shown negative behavior in the past. For example, when the candidates were supposed to be stranded with a gas grill in season 3 or a team spent 14 days with a view of a hotel resort.

In season 5, there were already the first missteps. Instead of a produced video, the candidates were initially introduced as an Instagram post. Also, the introduction video of the show was perceived by fans as a boring trailer, which further affected the mood. However, the creators are now showing the face of the new season, and fans actually find it good.

Jens „Knossi“ Knosalla has already announced his reactions to the new season. You can find out more about him here:

New face of 7 vs. Wild impresses with experience

Who is the new face of 7 vs. Wild? Instead of a fixed replacement for Fritz Meinecke, the series creators have decided to look for a host for season 5. The local expert is Hervé Neukomm, a native Swiss who has been living in the Amazon rainforest for over 16 years according to the introduction video.

As the host of the new season, the expert is well-versed in the rainforest but has also experienced much more. Instead of working as a banker in a travel agency, he set off on his bicycle from Europe in 2004, covering 42,000 kilometers while traveling through Turkey, Syria, and later deep into Africa. There he went on safari for two years.

Later, he came to Ecuador, built a boat, and crossed the Amazon with it. He covered 7,500 kilometers over 26 rivers. According to the introduction video, he was also the first person to cross the entire Amazon using only his own muscle power.

How do fans feel about the new face? With Hervé Neukomm, the creators of 7 vs. Wild have found just the right host for the fans. Despite his significant achievements, the man comes across as calm and composed in the video. He seems to be the expert that fans believe is truly needed there.

Fans also appreciate the new concept of using local experts as hosts for the scenarios. On YouTube, @sol9255 writes: “If the [creators] now want to use changing hosts/challengers living in the respective region after Fritz’s departure, I would actually find that quite exciting. Fritz is just an original that cannot be replaced. But regionally adjusted moderators would make it all very interesting! Sympathetic dude […]”

A large part of Gen Z, according to a study, is afraid to refuel their car

Paul Kutzner 11. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Refueling your own car is not just a necessity for Gen Z. However, they feel particularly anxious about it, as a survey has found.

Anyone driving a car cannot avoid having to refuel it regularly. For most drivers, this process is likely routine and does not pose major issues.

A survey by the British company Cazoo, which deals in used cars online, found that this process is particularly associated with many fears for Gen Z.

Start video

Better to stay put than to refuel

What did the survey find? According to thetimes.com, the survey, which questioned 2,000 drivers, highlighted many fears of Gen Z when refueling. The term “refuel anxiety” is used to describe this issue. Among respondents aged 18 to 24, 62% reportedly experience this refueling anxiety.

Some of the reasons for this, in addition to the ever-increasing fuel prices, include driving close enough to the pump to be able to refuel or correctly identifying the fuel needed for their car. Proper usage of the pump is also among the fears.

Additionally, hygiene concerns and fear of queues are mentioned as reasons in the survey. According to researchers, young people are afraid of making mistakes in public, which ties in with some of the mentioned reasons.

Refueling anxiety may also be linked to the significant decline in the number of young people obtaining driving licenses. The number of young people with a driver’s license is reportedly halved from the late 1980s to today.

Harry Waring from Cazoo comments on the issue: “Refueling may seem like a simple, everyday task to many. However, our research shows that for millions of drivers, particularly younger or less experienced ones, it is a real source of anxiety. It’s not just about rising fuel costs, but also about self-confidence, social pressure, and the fear of making a mistake in public.”

What alternatives are being used? According to the survey, nearly two-thirds of young respondents reported having asked others in their circle to refuel for them in the past. This can be a partner, family members, or friends.

Additionally, half of the respondents with refueling anxiety indicated that they let their tank get “dangerously empty” before going to refuel. A quarter have reportedly broken down on the road due to an empty tank.

Not only refueling poses a problem for Gen Z. Professional and related financial issues are also among the current challenges for many young people, forcing them to sometimes practice abstinence: Generation Z is exhausting their savings, skipping meals, and selling their belongings just to get by..

Knossi became huge on Twitch back then because he streamed online casinos, but he doesn’t want to belong to “them”

Johanna 11. September 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The Twitch streamer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla spoke in a stream about his past with online casinos. He concludes that he is not comparable to casino streamers and does not see himself as one.

What connection does Knossi have with gambling? In 2016, Knossi began streaming gambling on Twitch. His reactions to wins with the “slots” – digital one-armed bandits – were exaggerated and caused a lot of excitement from 2018 to 2019, leading the Twitch streamer to his breakthrough.

In 2020, however, the first voices began to criticize Knossi’s gambling content. At that point, he was the largest streamer worldwide on Twitch.

Twitch implemented stricter guidelines on the platform in 2021. Gambling content was only allowed to be shown with restrictions. In the same year, Knossi eventually withdrew from gambling content and did not want to host such live streams in the future.

In a YouTube video, in which he announced the change, he stated that he recognizes the danger that his viewers might imitate his behavior and start gambling themselves. He is aware of his role model function and wants to be able to look back on his content with a clear conscience in the future. Instead, he organized events and streamed other content to entertain his viewers.

You can find a compact summary of Knossi’s career in our video:

Knossi: “Viewers do something I never wanted”

What does Knossi say about his casino past? A few days ago, Knossi described his past with online casinos in a Twitch stream as an “incredible time” (source: twitch.tv from minute 00:47:50). He was currently watching his music video for his song “Bücher,” inspired by his time when he regularly played slots, and the book symbols meant success in the game.

Knossi adds: “I was never a casino streamer for myself.”.

He justifies his view by saying that he “immersed himself in the games,” something that casino streamers would not do: “I was in there, I lived it. For me, it was alive.” This “passion” is not seen among casino streamers.

Eventually, it became too much, Knossi said, and the viewers “do something that I never wanted.” Even though he repeatedly said in his streams that viewers should only watch him, not play themselves.

According to Knossi, the term “casino streamer” only emerged after his departure, and that there would be a difference between himself and them. Finally, the Twitch streamer states that if it had really been about the money for him, or still was, he could have done completely different things.

Knossi’s past triggered a hype around casino content

What is behind the casino streamers? From 2020 to 2021, a wave of casino streamers emerged. Streamers entered into deals with online casinos. In such deals, significant sums are paid for Twitch streamers to show casino content in their streams. They stream how they play, win, and celebrate.

Additionally, Twitch streamers are allegedly provided with an affiliate link from the online casino, which they use for their viewers. If viewers click the link, sign up on the site, and gamble, the Twitch streamers are said to have received a share of their viewers’ losses. This was reported in a report by the Y-Kollektiv on YouTube. However, it is hard to prove whether such an affiliate link is available to all streamers and whether they could potentially profit from their viewers’ losses.

Examples of casino streamers include the streamers Scurrows or orangemorange, who had to switch to another platform when Twitch further tightened its gambling guidelines in 2022.

You can read more about casino streams and how streamers benefit from their viewers in this context in the following articles:

Streamer says: Deal with casino that Twitch has now banned brings him $750,000 a day for 16 months

Twitch streamers earn millions € with gambling deals – their viewers go bankrupt

State of Play: Where do the MMORPGs WoW, ESO, GW2, Black Desert and FF14 stand in Spring 2016?

Knossi distances himself from this approach. He has never seen himself as such a casino streamer and has not entered into such a deal. The Twitch streamer thus had no particular advantage when viewers signed up for the shown online casinos because of him.

Hundreds of players gathered in an MMO to mourn a father for his little son

Karsten Scholz 11. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The little Ezekiel, lovingly called “Zeke” by his parents, passed away after a premature birth at only 4 months. Now, hundreds of players gathered in RuneScape to pay their last respects to the brave little one.

How did the memorial service come about? It has been a year since little Ezekiel passed away after a premature birth at only 4 months old. For his first birthday, the grieving father wanted to commemorate his son in a special way.

For this, he spontaneously invited the players of RuneScape on Reddit to meet at a specific time at an NPC in the village of Al Kharid, who also goes by the name “Zeke”. The invitation was accompanied by a (heartbreaking) image of the little rascal as well as an in-game screenshot displaying the NPC.

Anyone who wants to try (Old School) RuneScape can do so on Steam:

“I love this community”

How did the community respond to the invitation? Hundreds of players showed up to honor “Zeke”. Many characters brought flower seeds or had a blue heart above their heads (triggered by a prayer). They planted the fast-growing seeds into the ground and left heartfelt messages in the chat.

jschules was present and writes on Reddit: “Thank you for the invitation; hundreds of people came to support the beautiful memorial service. My condolences, and I hope this community could bring you some joy.”

celeryman3 adds under the comment on Reddit: “I love this community. It’s incredible that everyone took the time to pause their grind and express their condolences.”

Besides the countless condolences, there were also some players who dared to share their own misfortunes with Zeke’s father and the community.

In a second post on Reddit, the visibly moved father of Ezekiel thanks for this unique experience:

“Thank you to everyone who saw the post and expressed their condolences. It was overwhelming to see so many people in Zeke’s shop. It was also nice to hear your stories. We have an incredible community with the biggest hearts. Zeke will forever remain in our family’s hearts, and I can’t wait to see him again. Rest in peace, Zeke!”

WoW Legion Remix: It looked like a flop, but now it’s finally getting good

Cortyn 11. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

World of Warcraft Legion Remix seems to be getting back on track. The mode looks promising now and has some really good approaches.

When Blizzard presented the first variant of “WoW Legion Remix”, disappointment quickly spread through the community. The mode differed significantly from “Mists of Pandaria Remix”. Everything was slower, the characters were weaker, and somehow it all felt more like work than a fun turbo grind with absurd strength.

The criticism was devastating, and most were sure: The mode would flop. Blizzard has since realized that this wasn’t the best decision and has made some changes. Now, the second round of improvements has come, and it must be said clearly: Yes, this mode could become a success.

Start video

Autoplay

What has changed? In the official WoW forum, Blizzard presented the latest round of changes that will be implemented before the release of Legion Remix. In summary, the following changes are being made:

All phases of Legion Remix have a common item level cap of 740.
All secondary stats in Legion Remix no longer have diminishing returns and ignore their hard caps.
There is more character power through the final point in the artifact weapon (which can be infinitely enhanced).
The drop chance for many rewards has been drastically increased.

In addition, there are some minor adjustments, but the general direction seems clear: Legion Remix should feel more like MoP Remix, and players should experience high values and extreme strength much earlier. This is exactly what most had wished for.

More about WoW:

State of Play: Where do the MMORPGs WoW, ESO, GW2, FF14, and Black Desert stand at the beginning of 2017?

WoW player creates addon that every story fan needs, community cheers: “This is so cool”

von Karsten Scholz

What criticisms remain? However, there are two points of criticism that will likely remain. Blizzard is sticking to its plans to release Legion Remix in different “phases”. These phases reflect the individual patches that were also present during the Legion expansion. Thus, at the start, the Emerald Nightmare will be the raid, followed later by the Nightwell and Argus – along with their respective areas. This means not all rewards and content will be available at the start, which many criticize in a time-limited event.

The second point of criticism is the absence of the Mage Tower. This challenging task will not be present in Legion Remix, and this also includes the special skins for artifact weapons that players could earn back then. These remain exclusive to those who earned them many years ago.

So even if not all highlights from Legion will return, Blizzard is currently on a good path, enabling Legion Remix to at least connect with the success of Mists of Pandaria Remix. The current content looks a bit different – at least the quests. Because WoW currently has the worst questline of all time.

The first players can play Borderlands 4 today, while tomorrow is the official release day

Max Handwerk 11. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The launch of Borderlands 4 is imminent! For many, it starts on Friday – but for some even today, on Thursday.

When does Borderlands 4 start? It depends on which platform you are playing. September 12 is officially listed as the release date for Borderlands 4 everywhere, but that is not universally true due to time zones and different start times. There is also a deviation here in the country.

Who gets to play first? PC players can already dive into the game today! Although the official release date for Borderlands 4 is September 12, PC players can start playing from 6:00 PM on September 11.

When do the consoles start? For the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, September 12 remains the date. It will start at 00:00. The Switch 2, on the other hand, won’t start until October, making the wait even longer.

How do you start the fastest? By doing a preload and downloading the data in advance. The preload is already available, but as of right now only for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Everything about the preload and start times of Borderlands 4 can be read here.

Can I start earlier here? No, there is no early access, for example, for pre-order customers or similar.

Are you still considering whether to get the game? Then check out our article on 5 things you should know before buying Borderlands 4.

What’s in Borderlands 4?

Borderlands 4 is the latest installment in the series, which actually offers a bit more with titles like Pre-Sequel or Wonderlands than just four spin-offs. You can find a ranking of previous Borderlands titles here.

Borderlands 4 functions as a sequel, but also as a good entry point into the series. The game features four new main characters: Vex, Amon, Rafa, and Harlowe. These four vault hunters are the ones you will send through the new world of Kairos to confront the evil timekeeper.

So there’s a lot new, and you don’t necessarily need prior knowledge from games 1 to 3. However, it certainly helps if you are already familiar with the Borderlands universe. After all, characters from the past, such as Moxxi, Zane, Amara, or our beloved robot Claptrap, make appearances again.

Germany has an idea to protect its population in case of war: by purchasing huge amounts of canned ravioli

Benedikt Schlotmann 11. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Germany has hidden reserves to supply the population in case of emergency. The Minister of Agriculture wants to further expand the stocks, using convenience products like ravioli.

Many states build reserves to supply the population in emergencies. The Federal Republic of Germany is also stockpiling supplies in more than 150 warehouses. This is stipulated by the Food Security and Preparedness Act (ESVG).

The reserves mainly consist of products like rice, wheat, oats, legumes, and condensed milk to ensure food security for the population.

But now, Agriculture Minister Alois Rainer stated in the “Berlin Playbook Podcast” by Politico that there must also be complete meals that can be eaten directly. His idea: An international ravioli reserve.

Boxes of Convenience Products for Emergency Supplies

This is what the minister says: In the podcast, the minister explained that we are currently in a difficult security policy situation. For this reason, he wants to improve and expand food security, i.e., the existing emergency supplies. He explains in the podcast:

We are currently in a security policy situation that makes us all think. For me, it is important that, in addition to the supply of armaments, food security plays a major role.

I want to expand this into a national reserve with already prepared products that can be consumed right away when heated. Then we might be talking about canned ravioli or canned lentils or other things. (…) My approach would be to involve the private sector, the large grocery chains. They have the supply chains, and they have storage capacity.

The costs for this expanded food reserve are estimated at 80 to 90 million euros. Der Tagesspiegel (Paywall) reports that the current food reserve is said to cost the state about 27 million euros each year.

Everyone Should Have an Emergency Supply at Home

What should one have at home in general? For emergency supplies at home, the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (PDF file) recommends having a supply for at least 10 days at home, ideally for up to 14 days, similar to the recommendations of the federal government. Important components are:

sufficient drinking water (about 14 liters per week and per person)
non-perishable food like canned goods (vegetables, fruits, fish)
dry products (rice, pasta, lentils), biscuits, crackers, honey, and sugar
cash in small bills
emergency bag with important documents
necessary tools, including can openers and pocket knives

The federal government wants the German population to work more. But most people are already working too much. This is now shown by a report from the Federal Statistical Office. At least: Compared to the previous year, the overtime has slightly decreased, but is still high: Merz demands more work from the Germans, but one in five in Germany is already working too much overtime.

An action movie with Jackie Chan is so good that it inspired Quentin Tarantino to create an iconic character from Kill Bill

Christoph Waldboth 11. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Quentin Tarantino loves movies – that’s no secret. However, a particular film featuring Jackie Chan fascinates him so much that he praises it to this day. A character from Kill Bill was even inspired by it.

Quentin Tarantino has a vast knowledge when it comes to movies. Since his youth in the 1970s, he watches countless films every year and, of course, has found his favorites over the years.

One of them is Police Story 3: Supercop from 1992. Yes, you read that right. The third part of a comedic action series, in which none other than Jackie Chan plays the titular Supercop Chan. Together with Inspector Yang, a colleague portrayed by Michelle Yeoh, they hunt down a drug lord.

The film particularly stands out due to great action sequences and stunts, and that’s exactly what Tarantino can get excited about.

The Masterclass of Stunts

What does Tarantino love about the film? In 2009, the director revealed which films are his favorites; you can watch the entire video on YouTube. Among the 20 films mentioned is also Police Story 3.

Tarantino praises the film to the skies and especially highlights the action scenes with the spectacular stunts. No wonder, Jackie Chan is famous for performing many of his stunts himself – which has led to numerous, sometimes serious injuries over the decades – a dedicated website shows what the man has already broken.

About the stunts in Police Story 3, Tarantino says:

“A film that contains the greatest stunts ever filmed. And that includes Buster Keaton.”
Quentin Tarantino

For clarification: Buster Keaton was a legendary filmmaker who particularly worked in the 1920s and directed numerous humorous films, including classics like The General or The Cameraman. He also performed his daring stunts himself and is still considered the masterclass in this discipline. You can find an impression of his work on YouTube.

Tarantino further emphasizes that he particularly loves a scene in Police Story 3 where Michelle Yeoh jumps onto a moving train with a motorcycle (you can find a clip of it on YouTube). She and the film as a whole later also served as inspiration for one of Tarantino’s most famous films: Kill Bill. Another Japanese film served as a template, but hardly anyone knows it here.

The character of the Bride in Kill Bill is an homage to Michelle Yeoh in her role as a tough action heroine with martial arts talent, but there is a valid reason why she didn’t play the role herself. In the West, she became increasingly well-known and now stars in Hollywood films like Wicked or Everything Everywhere All At Once.

The interesting thing about Tarantino’s taste in films is that he often has controversial opinions and praises films that not everyone is aware of. In contrast, he often takes a critical stance on blockbusters. All the more surprising was it when he praised a certain Superman film: A superhero film is so good that Quentin Tarantino loves it, even though he doesn’t like this genre.

Player of Pokémon GO is recognized as a trainer due to a spelling mistake, thus finding a new friend

Paul Kutzner 11. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A coach from Pokémon GO shared a curious story. At the heart of it is a spelling mistake and a newfound friend.

While many aspects of Pokémon GO can be played solo, playing together with friends is a point that the game’s developers repeatedly mention and want to emphasize. A variety of activities such as raids and team play tasks are hardly manageable alone.

Having fellow players is therefore important to fully enjoy these aspects of the game. A player shares how one might find such players in a curious way on Reddit.

A few letters short, one friend more

What happened to the coach? As the coach reports on Reddit, she is an engineering student. She particularly likes a technical assistant at her university because she is one of the few other women in her faculty.

This technical assistant helped her with her notes one day. Later, the technical assistant asked the student if she played Pokémon, to which she answered yes. Subsequently, they exchanged their friends codes for Pokémon GO.

However, the student could not explain how the technical assistant figured out that she played Pokémon. Therefore, she asked her on another day how she came to that conclusion.

She then explained to the student that it was simply due to a spelling mistake in her notes. Instead of “unknown determinants,” the student had written “unown determinants.” Unown is the English name for Icognito. Therefore, the technical assistant concluded that the student must be playing Pokémon.

What does the community say about it? Besides some commentators who find the story very nice, there are also some trainers who share their own similar anecdotes. Some of them are:

“I make a similar mistake. I frequently call the animal a furret, instead of what it’s actually called, a ferret. Wife laughs at me most times”, writes Wolfenbro.
“I once said Alola instead of aloha while talking about Hawaii”, comments Suotrpip.
“I have unironically called seagulls wingulls and it’s quick and close enough that some people won’t catch it.”, notes Tojm.
“I found out my fiancé’s cousin and his roommate played go when we went to six flags. I now play go with them on the weekends. I saw them open the game in line”, reports OSRS_Socks.

A player of Helldivers 2 finds a brilliant trick against the strongest enemy in the game, knows when danger is imminent

Cedric Holmeier 11. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Helldivers 2 players face a new, strongest enemy. This enemy is so threatening that players have now found a trick to have a chance against it.

What kind of enemy is it? The Hivelord is the new strongest enemy in Helldivers 2. This sandworm hybrid, probably inspired by Dune, burrows through the earth and suddenly emerges underneath the Helldivers to wreak havoc.

Just when it’s a mission where players need to protect a mobile drilling unit again, the monster mercilessly shows what it thinks of over-ground, its soldiers, and their equipment. But now players have found a trick to outsmart the enemy.

Here you can see the trailer for the expansion that introduced the Hivelords into the game:

Supply Box becomes GPS Tracker

How does the trick work? On Reddit, user gunsnerdsandsteel reports a new trick they found to make dealing with the new enemy easier. They explain that they called in a supply box.

While this is mainly meant to supply players with new ammunition and syringes, it shows every player the location of where it stands. However, the group around the Reddit user requested the supply box in such a way that it hit the Hivelord.

The box became lodged in the body of the Hivelord and moved with him, even when he was underground. Thanks to the built-in GPS tracker, players can now track live where the monster is located using the supply box. The accurately placed box thus always shows all players where the Hivelord is. This makes the trick very powerful, as you always know when real danger is imminent.

Chainsaw Man shows the best moments of the anime in a new summary, has so many extras that even the rewatch is worth it

Jasmin Beverungen 11. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Before Chainsaw Man arrives with a new movie in theaters, there is another film about the anime. This film is so well received by fans that it might be worth your while to watch it beforehand.

What kind of film is this? Before Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc comes to theaters on October 29, 2025, there is another film that fans should definitely check out. This is Chainsaw Man – The Compilation, which showcases the storyline from Season 1 of the anime.

The film is supposed to summarize the key moments from 12 episodes of the anime.
There are newly animated segments called Chainsaw Days, which show additional material from the manga.
The two parts are expected to be released on Crunchyroll in Germany in September. An exact date is yet to be announced.

The film is set to be divided into two parts, marked by Part I and Part II in the title. In Japan, fans were able to watch the film already on September 5. They are sharing their thoughts on social media.

Fans love the summary because it introduces so much new content

What new features are there? As some fans have already seen the movie, they report on what changes have been made compared to the original anime. On Reddit, a user summarizes the comments under YouTube videos that deal with the film.

So there are the following changes in the film:

Numerous lines have been re-dubbed and now sound higher than before.
The content of some lines has also been changed, making them closer to the manga, including Dennis’s line “Don’t get in my way,” which was changed to “Don’t get in our way.”
The pace of the fights has been increased, and generally, quieter moments like Dennis’s calm standing around or Aki’s morning routine have been completely removed.
All background music in the fights has been changed; the intro of the anime now plays during the final battle.
There is additional information from the manga that revolves around the Gun Devil.

How are the changes being received? Among Japanese fans, the changes are well received. In the comments under the YouTube videos, it is said that the creators are doing everything to “clean up the chaos of the previous director.” The compilation film is closer to the manga. The higher voices would also be more fitting now.

Is the rewatch worth it? If you want to watch the Reze Arc in theaters, you should definitely check out the compilation film first. Three years have passed since the release of Season 1, so you might have forgotten a lot from the anime. This way you’ll be back up to speed.

The head of Dune: Awakening responds to criticism of the new DLC, receiving so much hate that he leaves the official Discord

Karsten Scholz 11. September 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The developers of Dune: Awakening are trying to address the current criticism from the community following the release of Chapter 2 and the DLC “Lost Harvest”. Some players have expressed themselves in such a way that the creative director of the team fled from the official Discord.

What is known about the flight? The developers of Dune: Awakening have, of course, noticed that the new content is strongly criticized by parts of the community. Creative Director Joel Bylos joined the official Discord to respond to the often negative feedback from players.

Less than 24 hours after the release of Chapter 2 and the DLC “Lost Harvest”, the lead developer surprisingly left the official community platform of Dune: Awakening. In a Reddit post discussing the “flight”, Bylos explained this measure as follows:

After a very hectic day yesterday, I logged on to Discord (around 11:30 PM my time, to provide context) to see how the mood was regarding the patch. It was… negative.

I made a couple of comments and was told to step down, shut up, and in a particularly nice message, to kill myself. I’m not saying this to gain sympathy, but to explain the context for my next action, which was as follows:

I stood up, turned off Discord, and walked away. Life is short. I will talk to the people when we can have rational conversations.

Joel Bylos on Reddit

In a follow-up comment, the developer added that he is aware that the community largely consists of decent, loving people who want to share their enthusiasm for Dune. However, this type of communication is the reality on the internet; nowadays, some only communicate in this loud, provocative manner.

Start video

Autoplay

Why is there such harsh criticism? Why the new content of Dune: Awakening frustrates many players has been analyzed in a comprehensive article. The main points:

Many players had taken a break and are now frustrated because they have lost their bases, vehicles, and other possessions.
Chapter 2 and the DLC are supposed to offer a wide range of innovations, so there is something for almost every player type. However, those hoping for important endgame adjustments will have to wait until 2026. Those who believed that the DLC – similar to the DLCs for Conan Exiles – would bring a new building style with numerous building parts were disappointed.
Overall, many players – as with the first DLC – feel that the content does not justify the price (in this case: 12.99 euros).

Hate and agitation have no place on GameStar, GamePro, and MeinMMO. What we do every day against hate is explained in our statement against hate.

More building components for the Dune Man are coming

How does Funcom generally respond to criticism? An official statement from the developers went live on the official website of the survival MMO a few hours ago, primarily addressing the criticism of the new building style of the “Dune Man”. It says:

We are aware that our communication regarding the content of the DLC was not clear enough. The DLC “Lost Harvest” includes a variety of content, with a focus on the new side story and the Treadwheel. However, the way the Dune Man building components were communicated led to the expectation that it would be a complete building set, rather than what we intended: four new parts to complement the base game building sets.

We understand the disappointment some of you have expressed, and to rectify this, we will work on developing additional Dune Man building components that we will make available to all owners of the DLC “Lost Harvest”. We plan to add about 15 more parts, and we want to make them available by the end of September or early October.

Funcom on duneawakening.com

The developers further state that it was never the plan – as claimed by players – to outsource more parts of the Dune Man style to Twitch Drops. The Twitch Drop campaigns always have their own in-game items. Additionally, the developers want to make all items that were temporarily available via Twitch Drops earnable in Dune: Awakening over time.
