7 vs. Wild and Jens “Knossi” Knossalla simply share a lot. Not only was the Twitch streamer a two-time participant and winner of the survival series, but he was one of the most influential faces of the show alongside Fritz Meinecke. Now he wants to finally resolve a conflict from the show.
Who are the combatants? In the last season of 7 vs. Wild, the survival experts Stefan “Survival_Deutschland” and Joe Vogel clashed. Throughout several episodes, the two outdoor experts argued.
Even after the series, the dispute continued and escalated to a new level. Fans formed two sides, each standing by one of the professionals. In the end, however, fans agreed that both professionals did not communicate well, which was inappropriate in a survival situation.
Since the conflict between the two has never been resolved, Knossi is now getting involved and wants to settle the matter once and for all.

Conflict resolution in the container
What does Knossi have in mind? The Twitch streamer hosts his own season of Big Brother each year. Under the label “Knossi Edition,” he invites friendly influencers into the container, who then must compete in challenges like the actual candidates of the show, being monitored around the clock.
The influencer is currently considering which people he wants to include this year and has also invited the two combatants Joe Vogel and Stefan “Survival_Deutschland” for this purpose. According to Knossi, both have already agreed.
In the container, the two could then talk it out and reconcile in front of the cameras, or the dispute could escalate again.
However, Jens Knossalla is still unsure whether he really wants to put this idea into action, as the list of potential participants is simply too long and final decisions are still pending. You can find the stream excerpt on Reddit:

What does Knossi have to do with 7 vs. Wild? For many, the Twitch streamer is considered one of the former candidates who impressed with performance and personality, although many initially underestimated him.
Knossi has become a fan of survival projects through the series and has repeatedly tested his limits in projects such as “Deep Down – Die Vergrabenen” and “Mission Unknown: Atlantik.” He has also paid attention to the new seasons of 7 vs. Wild and reacted to the episodes.
Fans of Dungeons & Dragons often wonder how realistic the attacks of non-magical classes actually are. A longsword expert has now taken a detailed look at the question.
How does he answer the question? Reddit user Vverial approaches the question in his thread of whether it is possible to make 8 attacks in 6 seconds in the “real world”. From his perspective, it is entirely possible. He himself is a martial arts practitioner and successfully practiced Kung Fu in his youth and now teaches German longsword.
He has often observed how content creators have addressed this and similar questions but found it unfortunate how superficial their approaches usually were. Therefore, he wanted to tackle the question himself. He considered the following situation:
He took a level 20 fighter who can normally make 4 attacks per action, which means 6 seconds. With the fighter’s class feature “Action Surge,” a fighter can take a second action once per rest in their round. This allows a level 20 fighter to make about 8 attacks in 6 seconds.
He explains in detail in his thread why and how this is also possible for people in our world. He believes “the only reason this is even a question is that the people asking have never participated in a sword fight before.”

“I personally had no doubts”
How is it possible to make 8 attacks in 6 seconds? To elaborate on his answer to the question, Vverial first explains that attacks with longswords often follow a 3-step pattern that involves short movements. If each of these steps is taken as a separate attack, it is possible to achieve this in a very short time.
Assuming that an action takes 4 seconds (since a bonus action is also possible within the 6-second round), a skilled fighter in our world could easily make 6 attacks within that time. If the theoretical class feature “Action Surge” is considered, the time could be halved. He believes this is still possible – harder, but feasible for someone skilled (which a max-level 20 fighter certainly is).
“You would be amazed at how fast some of these guys move at high levels of play and how many actions they can perform in a very short time frame,” he writes, as he transitions to applying this to multiple targets. This is also possible if a more realistic approach is taken.
You can see how that looks in this video from the historical fencing school Sexau e.V:

If you don’t count each attack as a targeted sword stroke but also consider the movements during and sweeping sword strokes that hit multiple targets as individual attacks, this is also within the realm of possibility.
He even goes so far as to say that very skilled fighters might well execute 5 such “sword actions” per second if one frees oneself from the notion that every attack must be a sweeping movement. Still, he emphasizes that he has a few important points to make:
In the strictest tests, the results lie on the edge, but I have seen people perform incredibly impressive feats in terms of speed, agility, and athleticism, so I tend to believe this is also achievable for someone who does not possess the same values and abilities as a level 20 fighter in the real world. There are very few examples of people who achieve this in real life, but it is possible. However, what about the rest WITHOUT Action Surge? 6 sword actions in 4 seconds? That is not only achievable but also corresponds quite closely to the normal pace of a real sword fight between two players at a competitive level.
I personally had no doubts. I was convinced that the question is only asked because the people who ask it have never participated in a sword fight. I have participated in many sword fights. Believe me. The best fighters can often hit you in a very short time frame.
With a longsword as a weapon, 8 sword actions per round are indeed possible in the real world, although not without difficulty and requiring a lot of skill.
The Anime of Solo Leveling is in production at A-1 Pictures. The animation studio incurred heavy losses. But now the big rescue has come.
Why is A-1 Pictures doing so poorly? As Gamebiz reports, A-1 Pictures incurred heavy losses for the first time in the last financial year. Since 2014, the studio had always made a profit. However, in the financial year ending in March 2025, a loss of 1 million euros was reported.
By comparison: In the previous year, the company was still able to achieve a profit of around 140,000 euros. But despite the great success of Solo Leveling, A-1 Pictures did not end up in the positive numbers. The studio worked on:
Too Many Losing Heroines!
NieR:Automata Ver.1.1a
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online
Solo Leveling Season 2
Goddess of Victory: Nikke Old Tales Special Animation
The financial situation could also be one of the reasons why a 3rd season of Solo Leveling has still not been announced, even though the anime was so successful. But now there is finally hope that season 3 is coming.

Season of Solo Leveling is financially covered
What is the rescue? As The Bell reports, Netmarble has invested around 1.3 million euros in A-1 Pictures. In return, the company receives a 20% stake. The investment took place shortly after the announcement of A-1 Pictures’ losses.
By the way, Netmarble is no stranger to the anime: The video game company is responsible for Solo Leveling: Arise, the gacha game based on the anime. In the past, the team developed games like Lineage 2: Revolution and Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross.
With the large sum of money, the animation studio A-1 Pictures can be saved from a possible financial ruin, and the team can now fully concentrate on season 3.
Because his son was playing too much on the console, his father had him build a house in the garden. This excited not only Facebook but also various construction companies.
The title image is a symbolic image.
The Corona pandemic posed a significant challenge to many people at the time. When a father realized that his son was spending way too much time with his gaming console, he came up with an idea:
To engage him otherwise, he set him a specific challenge: to transform the old garden shed into a miniature house for his younger sister, who dreamed of a room with a floor and a staircase.

14-Year-Old Builds a House for His Sister in His Parents’ Garden Shed
The then 14-year-old son got to work: Within a week, the teenager designed and realized the structure, cut the boards, screwed them together, painted the house, and decorated it. The father explained to the English-speaking magazine TheSun in an interview that he was mainly concerned with keeping his son engaged:
I assigned this task to Brad because I know he is handy, but instead of building something, he spends his days playing video games. I only helped him when he was tired or unsure of what to hold. Or when he was using sharp tools. But overall, he did everything himself and wanted to be independent while building.
The construction work cost about 200 British pounds (approximately 230 euros), which remained limited thanks to the reused materials that his father, a site manager in construction, already had on hand.
The father posted his son’s work on Facebook. The post received more than 27,000 likes on the platform and thus attracted attention beyond the family circle. Several construction companies, particularly in Florida and Australia, contacted the family to offer Brad future job opportunities, as they were impressed by the quality of his work at his age. The father remarked:
He was even offered jobs in Florida and Australia – we could hardly believe it!
In the article from The Sun, you can also see in the pictures how the little house ultimately turned out.
A Bar in the Garden is the Next Project of the 14-Year-Old
By the way, it didn’t stop with his sister’s house. As a second project, he started building a garden bar for his father’s birthday. Here, he used his learned skills and gained confidence to build the bar in his parents’ garden:
The bar is now finished and simply great. We spent every evening there. Again, the costs amounted to around £250 [287 euros], as we used a lot of wood that I brought home from work.
Although Battlefield 6 still has many weeks until its release, leakers manage to publish new footage of upcoming maps. Another barren war landscape has now been revealed that is supposed to arrive in the shooter with Season 1.
What is this new map? The alleged new map for Battlefield 6 was revealed on Reddit by the user Fit-Support2256. It shows a wasteland with sparse landscape, burning terrain, and scattered houses. The map is supposed to be just as large, if not slightly smaller than Mirak Valley.
In the footage, the leaker shows building fights in warehouses, sprinting through containers, and trying to avoid enemy fire behind various trees. What stands out particularly is the layout of the map, as it is very open and offers little traditional cover, but the hilly terrain is your friend when it comes to quickly crossing an area unscathed.
After the video, many fans are optimistic about the new playground and are already looking forward to waging their battles on it.

New map immerses fans in a war zone
What do fans say about the new map? They are very excited about the basic layout and eager to try it out. The appearance and layout are promising, and with over 3,000 upvotes, many even agree. Here’s what can be heard on Reddit:
“I love the colors of the map.” – dayDreamingSoL
“Sensational. Not to mention its 50V50 rush, so it seems that 64 is not the upper limit (at least for Portal)” – MatejaErcic
“They really captured the war perfectly in every map, to be honest.” – Echo-frog
“The lighting on this map is damn good and cinematic, and mind you, this map is not intended for release on day one. It looks like the background of a pre-rendered cutscene. Insane!” – NoEgg3042
However, there is one thing to complain about, though it has nothing to do with the map itself, but rather with the mode that was played on it. In the leaked footage, a game of “Rush” was played and what many find negative are the spawns and the lack of vehicles.
There are hardly any opportunities to reposition strategically after a death; instead, you get shot again within seconds, and this keeps repeating. Fans like SimpleChemical5804 believe that many players think Rush has always been like this, but that is not the case. They would like to see changes that fans have been calling for for years, such as more vehicles and better spawns, otherwise the mode could quickly die out like in previous installments.
However, you should consider that this is an unconfirmed leak so far. What has been shown could therefore differ significantly from a possible release version.
A trainer demonstrated a trick shot that he successfully performed in Pokémon GO. However, it may be difficult to replicate.
If you want to catch a monster in Pokémon GO, you need to go to the catching screen. Here, you must choose a ball and throw it at the Pokémon. If you hit the monster and it doesn’t perform an animation, you have a chance that the Pokémon will stay in the ball and belong to you.
That you can catch a monster that blocks your ball with the animation with a little luck has been proven by a trainer on Reddit.
Start video

“Had no idea that was possible”
What kind of trick shot is that? In the video, you can see how the trainer throws a Pokéball at a Crocalor. He throws the ball just during the animation of the monster. While this usually causes the ball to be deflected and land on the ground, it looked different in this case.
Instead, the Pokéball bounced up and landed again on the monster – even 2 times in a row. This caused the last hit of the ball to end Crocalor’s animation, and the ball hit the monster, causing it to land in the ball.
Ultimately, the monster broke out of the ball. However, this is not due to the trick shot itself, but to the fact that you have a rather low chance of catching Crocalor with a simple Pokéball and without a catch bonus. You can also see this in the video by the red color of the catch circle.

Can I replicate the trick shot? If you want to try to replicate such a catch, you will need patience and luck. This mechanic is rather a rare coincidence and not a throw that you can reproduce on command.
What does the community say about it? In the comments below the post, you can find some trainers who have either never seen this phenomenon or have experienced something similar themselves. Some of the comments say:
“Definitely the first time seeing that. Didn’t even know it would catch after the initial bounce”, writes Carnby412
“I’ve seen two a bunch of times but three is crazy”, says 666sky
“Didn’t even know that was possible, i thought the ball deactivated after hitting it once”, writes Missetat75
“I’ve had times where after the second bounce my buddy bounces it right back.”, reports AnimeMan1993

The world of Harry Potter is full of small and large secrets. Numerous details from the movies are not easily noticeable at first glance. One involves a mysterious creature that can only be seen by very few. This leads to a funny moment in the fifth school year.
Hogwarts is full of secrets. Alongside the countless students, teachers, and other staff, magical creatures also roam the grounds of the castle and the adjacent Forbidden Forest. Among them are the centaurs and unicorns, as seen particularly in the first part.
Another creature is the Thestrals. They resemble winged horses and may appear frightening at first. Their bodies are gaunt, and their skeletons stand out sharply. They can be ridden but are not permitted as ordinary travel animals in the wizarding world, because they might be seen by Muggles – under certain conditions, more on this below.
In the Muggle-shielded Hogwarts, well-trained Thestrals serve as substitutes for horses and pull the carriages that take students from the castle to the train station in Hogsmeade.
The exciting part is that most students cannot see Thestrals and think that the carriages are simply enchanted and can move on their own. This ignorance leads to a funny situation in the fifth movie that you probably overlooked.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix – Trailer for the fifth installment of the fantasy series
Seeing Thestrals has a sad reason
What kind of scene is this? At the end of “The Order of the Phoenix,” the students leave the grounds of Hogwarts. Several carriages are ready, being pulled by invisible Thestrals. At 02:07:28, you can see Harry, Ron, and Hermione walking through the woods in the foreground.
In the background, a Hogwarts student gets off a carriage and walks past. Suddenly, she collides with something invisible and turns around in confusion – she has bumped into a Thestral.
It is a small detail that shows: Not all students know about the Thestrals and are aware that the carriages are being pulled by them. Suddenly colliding with an invisible being leads, of course, to confusion. You can watch the scene in a clip on YouTube – skip to minute 1:40.
Why is the creature invisible to the student? Thestrals come with a unique feature. They are only visible to those who have seen death. This means the creatures are only visible to people who have witnessed someone die and accepted and understood death as a concept.
Among the few students at Hogwarts who have sufficiently dealt with death is Harry. He can only see the magical creatures since he confronted the death of Cedric Diggory in the summer of 1995 and began to better understand death as a concept.
Other notable students who can see Thestrals include Neville Longbottom, whose grandfather passed away, and Luna Lovegood, who lost her mother. She is one of the most powerful Ravenclaw students.
The student who gets off the carriage in that scene was likely fortunate enough not to have faced death yet. Or she simply hasn’t dealt with it sufficiently.
In Path of Exile 2, the developers have introduced sprinting with the new season. While the limited movement speed was a problem for many players at first, they can now sprint continuously. However, the new feature can also become a death trap for many.
How does sprinting work? In Path of Exile 2, players can sprint continuously since the new season “The Third Edict”. To do this, simply hold down the space bar, and the character will sprint instead of walking.
This method is significantly faster than walking, but it also has a huge disadvantage. Whenever monsters grab a character, they fall to the ground and must get up again. During this time, players can hardly defend themselves against enemies, which often leads to their deaths. However, players are not deterred.
Here you can watch the trailer for the new season, which also introduces the sprinting feature:
Start video

Sprinting is very popular
Why do players still sprint? Although many players admit that sprinting has become one of their most common causes of death, they still refuse to stop sprinting. This is mainly due to the speed advantage.
In the predecessor of Path of Exile 2, shoes with increased movement speed were a jackpot for many players. They allow completing the often labyrinthine levels much faster. The same goes for the sprinting feature.
Instead of fighting through hordes of enemies, many players simply run past them to the next interesting location to fight a boss or face a special mechanic.
What do players say about it? That sprinting has quickly developed into one of the most common causes of death and players still do not want to give it up, many would agree. On Reddit, they write:
FormulaCliff: “I don’t care how often I trip to my death, I will always sprint everywhere.”
YouAteIt: “I always have my instant-heal flask with 20% healing ready, which I can spam eight times when I’m on the ground. It surprisingly saves you often!”
weed_blazepot: “That’s how it should be. Persistently keep running, and it will eventually work out. I enjoy the risk now… when others die. When I die, of course, it’s just cheap rubbish.”
ogzogz: “Learn to interrupt sprinting with a dodge roll when you expect an attack. During the dodge animation, you can take hits without tripping. After the animation, just keep sprinting.”
Preventing oneself from falling by using a well-timed dodge roll is a good tip that may prevent some deaths in the game.
It may be worth checking out the upcoming content on the public test server of World of Warcraft. Or wouldn’t you like to have 900,000 more gold in your in-game account?
What has the PTR shown? In this specific case, it is about the final battle in the dungeon Biokuppel Al’dani against the Soulwriter, which has already proven to be quite tricky on the public test server. The reason for this lies in a mechanic where you have to localize your own spirit. However, due to the immense brightness of the area, this is not so easy.
And indeed, after the test, many groups on the live server also struggled to successfully master this boss fight without aids – on Reddit, for example, the player Colt_Cant_Dance asked for tips for the fight a few days ago.

What helps? The WoW player with the Reddit username smallnutss recognized on the PTR that this mechanic can be countered with the consumable item “Ink-Black Potion”. With this potion, you can darken “the world around you”, allowing you to recognize your spirit much better.
So what did smallnutss do before the dungeon’s release? Of course, he stocked up on Ink-Black Potions for 100,000 gold and then sold them for 30 to 40 gold each after the opening. The profit was said to be around 900,000 gold, the player explained on Reddit.
He could have probably earned much more. According to PsjKana, the potions were sometimes sold for 500 gold each (source: Reddit).
Anyone who doesn’t want to use the “Ink-Black Potion” can alternatively get a corresponding WeakAura – for example, through wago.io.

The major changes to Dead by Daylight are being stopped and cancelled. No wonder, because the community has been up in arms.
Just a few days ago, the developers of Dead by Daylight announced that they wanted to make significant changes to the game. These changes would have forever changed how killers have to play the game. But after even professionals struggled to achieve success with the changes and the community voiced their concerns in the forums, the response was: No, we won’t do it this way. All the changes are not coming.
Start video
Dead by Daylight: Five Nights at Freddy’s brings the animatronic
What was the problem? Limiting the entire incident to “one problem” is not that easy. In summary, it can be said that the changes would have primarily come at the expense of the killers. What sounded like good methods in theory to address issues like “tunneling” and “slugging” was so one-sided that killers completely lost their enjoyment.
Even absolute professional players suddenly found it difficult to kill more than just a single survivor by the end of the round.
This is mainly because survivors would have received a “free pass” with the new mechanics. The system stipulated that the killer would be punished if they attacked and hung the same survivor multiple times in a row.
The resulting problem: This means that a survivor who was last hung could basically do whatever they wanted. They could sit at a generator without being disturbed because they know: If the killer attacks me, they will be punished and all other survivors will become stronger.

At the same time, it was such that freshly rescued survivors became “immune” for 30 seconds, as long as they do not repair a generator. This means they have no collision and are invulnerable. With a little addition: They can still “block” hits. Survivors could therefore just walk alongside the killer for 30 seconds and protect their friends.
Correspondingly, there was a huge outcry in the community, making it clear: If it comes to this, killers will have no fun in the game at all, and even survivors would quickly get bored if killers posed no danger anymore.
Some even renamed the game not “Dead by Daylight” but rather “Slightly Unpleasant by Daylight”.

Even professionals could no longer win in Dead by Daylight
Complexity was too confusing: Another point is that Dead by Daylight is basically a rather intuitive game. The killer wants to kill the survivors, the survivors want to repair generators and escape. This is simple and easy to understand. However, the changes aimed to introduce many additional rules that especially killers had to adhere to. Additional rules that added massive complexity to the game, which was particularly difficult for new players to grasp.

It no longer felt like you were playing a powerful, frightening killer, but rather just trying to desperately achieve something around the complex rules of the game.
This is what the developers say: In an update, the developers announced at the beginning of the weekend that they would not implement the changes for now:
We have heard you loud and clear that the current implementation of the systems to reduce slugging and tunneling, which we tested this week, is too punishing for killers.
For the launch of the Sinister Grace chapter, we will not introduce these changes and the perk adjustments, to consider some modifications based on your feedback. We will test these features again on an upcoming test server and only release them when we believe they are ready.
It is clear that the developers want to tackle tunneling and slugging because it is a real problem. However, the solution they tried was not only too complicated but also so restrictive for killers that it would have significantly damaged the game as a whole. It is good that they are listening to the overwhelming majority of the community and are backtracking. Almost as disgusting as the planned changes is the next killer – they are not for the faint of heart.

The sandbox MMORPG Pax Dei is currently struggling to keep players engaged and facing several issues. Major changes are intended to remediate this, with a focus on adjusting PvP.
Why should PvP be changed? As the team behind Pax Dei recently announced, they wanted to significantly revamp the game to counter the continually decreasing player numbers and continuously integrate feedback into the game.
The criticism of PvP is also in focus, as it has not been well received by many players and has faced significant backlash. Especially since the combat system was perceived as imprecise and outdated, and the game was frustrating due to technical problems and the lack of incentives for fair fights between players.
Therefore, the team addressed the concerns and promised improvement via Discord. In a new blog post, the developers explain how they plan to tackle the issue and address the community’s concerns.
Start video

No obligation, but an inspiration and above all a driver for the economy
How will PvP be changed? In the blog post, it states that the developers are aware that many players do not like the current state of PvP. Accordingly, they intend to adjust this feature in the following phases:
In Phase 1, the PvP zone Lyonesse will be expanded with new resources, more space, PvE services, and motivations for entering the risk of the zone
In Phase 2, approximately six-month seasons with claimable clan land and conquests, as well as changes to death, corpse runs, and gear degradation will be introduced
After that, feudal houses, oaths of loyalty, tax rights, market towns, and community alliances will be added
It remains the focus that PvP should not be obligatory for players. The developers believe that players should always have the choice of whether to engage in combat against their fellow players. As stated further in the blog, they still want PvP to play a major role:
In Pax Dei, PvP is intended as one of the central drivers of the economy and the vibrant world. Territory control, wars, and conflicts create demand for crafting, gathering, trading, and cooperation – they contribute to keeping the game meaningful and alive over time.
To be clear: PvP will not be mandatory, but it will impact other areas of the game and affect PvE players in different ways. Trading between Lyonesse and the Home Valleys will be crucial for all to succeed.
Our vision is that the benefits of territory ownership, tax revenues, and other war objectives belong to the players and clans that rise to the challenge and fully accept the risks. Victories and rewards should feel like real achievements earned through courage and commitment.
These rewards are meant to inspire players to embrace the full weight of risk and conflict, making the fight for territory and power exciting and worthwhile. The promise of these rewards makes every battle fought and every defended objective a part of a meaningful story in the world of Pax Dei.
The system of feudal claims is indeed designed for organized clans, but the trade cities are expected to offer a suitable alternative for smaller clans and solo adventurers in the future. The community’s concern that this change could divide existing groups is on their radar, and they are working on a solution to minimize this issue.
So far, there is no official date when you can expect the change. However, it is supposed to be implemented later this year. So it’s worth keeping an eye out.
A YouTube channel tests food from around the world and then shares its conclusions. During this process, the taste tester ends up in the rooms where Faker began his career as a professional in League of Legends – and doesn’t even recognize him.
What kind of expert is this? The host of the YouTube channel is Will Sonbuchner, better known by his nickname Sonny Side. He is an American food vlogger who travels the world, trying unique dishes to document the local food culture.
In a new video, he tests the food served in PC Bangs (which translates to computer room) in Seoul for 24 hours. These are internet cafes with high-end PCs where players can game. Many young adults in Korea spend their time in such places, dreaming of becoming legendary professional players like Faker.
The YouTuber tests food from both a cheap and a more expensive PC Bang. The expert notices that the pricier gaming venue belongs to a successful Korean e-sports team – but he doesn’t realize exactly where he is.

What is the food expert missing? After Sonny tests the cheap internet cafe, he heads to the PC Bang operated by the e-sports team T1. This is the most successful team in League of Legends from Korea, which also includes Faker.
The expert knows more about food than about the team whose internet cafe he visits. Right from the name, it’s clear he doesn’t recognize the “T1” at first and instead only reads “Base Camp”.

He reports that this PC Bang belongs to a “professional e-sports team” and also discovers cardboard cutouts of the team. He describes the members as young, attractive, and agile – but then jokes that they all look the same.
Overall, the tone of the video is more about poking fun at the gaming stereotypes:
The food lasts longer than the relationships of gamers.
The fans with air filters are crucial to keep gamers’ farts under control.
He thought before the test that sad people would play sad video games and eat sad food. After the test, only two things were true: the food was excellent.
How does he rate the food? The food was consistently decent in both PC Bangs. He also received help from Twitch streamer Jimmy Kim aka deadlyjimmy, who is well acquainted with League of Legends thanks to his streams.
Regardless of the price, you can get decent food in both PC Bangs. So if you find yourself in Seoul and trust Sonny’s judgment, you can feel confident dining in a PC Bang.
Two players are living the dream of many fans of Dungeons & Dragons. The game not only brought them together, but it was also the centerpiece of their wedding.
What a special wedding it was! The DnD player and Reddit user Empty_House4074 (a Paladin himself) presents on Reddit a trailer for his wedding video after he and his wife got married.
However, it is not a typical wedding video, as it becomes clear within moments that it is at least as atypical a wedding.
Instead of a suit, the author of the post and groom is dressed in armor rather than a classic suit, and the bride’s jewelry is more striking and “elvish” than what one usually sees.
“Two days ago, my wife and I got married,” the player writes under his video on Reddit, “We celebrated with a wedding in the purest D&D style. This is just the trailer, and there is so much more to show, but I wanted to share this piece for those of you who wanted a little insight into the ceremony.”

“It is, was, and will always be the happiest day of my life!”
How did the couple incorporate the game into their wedding? In addition to the thematically styled outfits of the couple, all guests were also dressed accordingly: Fairy wings, horns, elf ears, but also armor and face paint were no strange sight at this wedding.
The wedding took place in a castle and was conducted by a horned person, as the trailer of the wedding video shows:

How does the community react? Under the wedding post, various comments from the player community full of congratulations and small jokes are gathering.
“I think you won D&D. Nothing can top that,” congratulates S0k0n0mi (via Reddit).
“I’m currently considering getting divorced just to have a wedding like that,” admits MoonAmunet (via Reddit).
“Congratulations on your wedding and finding a great wife who shares your hobbies. I wish you all the best for this new campaign called ‘Married Life’,” writes Unfair-Mongoose710 (via Reddit).
“If anyone has any objections… roll for initiative,” writes Scholarly_Koala (via Reddit).
“And the fact that you are called D&D is the icing on the cake,” thinks cjy7877 (via Reddit). A truly perfect coincidence, as the first names of the couple, David and Devika, together result in exactly the same abbreviations as the game they love so much.
The MMO Palia has become a popular retreat for many players. Now the developers are showcasing the next update and what else is on the roadmap.
What can you expect in the upcoming update? In the latest blog post on Palia’s roadmap, the next major patch has been introduced. With patch 0.195, several large new features will be arriving on September 10, 2025, under the name “Of Barns and Briars.”
The highlight is likely to be the new Ranching Skill, which allows you to keep your own animals. On your ranch, you can raise and breed up to 30 animals at the same time. Each animal has specific characteristics that affect the visuals and gameplay, can develop, and can also be passed on to offspring.
You can also take your favorite animal as a pet on your adventures outside the ranch. The feature is initially designed as a solo experience but is expected to be available in multiplayer later. New animal species are set to follow in future patches.
Additionally, you can look forward to the following autumn-themed content:
Home Lines: The Alchemist’s Cabin
Gardener Friendship Quests
County Fair Notice Board Missions
Introduction of new daily quests, tailoring tickets, and hair and makeup colors
New farmhouse decor
In addition to the introduction of the patch, the rest of the roadmap for autumn 2025 has also been revealed.

Co-op Housing, Seasonal Events, and Much More
What does autumn 2025 bring in Palia? In later patches this autumn, not only will new suitable hairstyles and outfits be released in the game, but also new features for player profiles that allow you to showcase your achievements.
Seasonal events are also set to return revamped, like the Halloween Festival, Winter Lights, or Lunar New Year 2026. Additionally, the focus will be on new ranch animals and community events, as well as introducing new ways for players to express their individuality. This includes dyeing clothing.
Finally, the developers give a brief outlook on things that are in focus for future developments. Work is still ongoing on shared player accommodations, a new adventure zone, and an upgrade for the photo mode. However, when these things are planned to be released is not elaborated on.
So, you can fully focus on the next patch on September 10 and have fun with your ranch and the other new features until further information is available.
Fans of Life is Strange can look forward to new content. This time, however, in the form of a series produced for Amazon.
There are many games with tough decisions and deep stories, but few are as firmly etched in the memories of fans as the original “Life is Strange.” This nostalgia is set to be rekindled soon, as the first part of the game will be adapted into a live-action series.
This was the trailer for the first Life is Strange:

The official trailer for Life is Strange: Episode 1
What is happening with Life is Strange? Even though the latest installment of the “Life is Strange” series has caused many controversies and has not been as well received by fans as previous entries in the game, the beginning of the series holds a special place in the community’s memory. This memory is poised to resurface, as Life is Strange is getting a real series to be released on Amazon.
What is the series about? Although not many details are known yet, it is already clear that it is an adaptation of the first title. This is by far the most popular part of the series and is still fondly remembered by many:
The young art student Max Caulfield realizes, when she unexpectedly saves her friend from death, that she can rewind time. With her new power, she discovers a dark secret in the midst of her seemingly peaceful town and is continually forced to make tough decisions. These not only determine life and death, but can have far greater impacts on the world.
How well the many decisions with their consequences, which are so prevalent in the game, can be translated into a series remains to be seen. However, Charlie Covell, who will serve as executive producer, has previously demonstrated that he can create exciting series with productions like “End of the F***king World” and “KAOS.”
When will the series be released? There is no concrete release date yet. Whether the series will ever actually be released remains to be seen. Over 9 years ago, there were already attempts to release a “Life is Strange” series. Back then, the series was ordered by Square Enix at Legendary – but nothing ever came of it.
The new role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has faced massive criticism regarding its pricing policy after its release announcement for Steam and PS5. However, that is set to change, but some players will have to do something about it.
Why was there criticism? During gamescom 2025, alongside the release date for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 on October 21, 2025, the various editions and their prices were presented. However, they did not go down well with players, as the pricing policy particularly upset them.
The problem is: Some of the particularly popular clans that you can choose for your character are apparently already hidden behind DLCs at launch, which you can currently only obtain with the purchase of the Premium Edition.
Whether and for how much money the individual clans would be available remained unclear. However, as a developer announced via Reddit, that is set to change, as they have taken the fans’ criticism to heart.

“We are working diligently on the promised adjustments”
What will change? The development team has already promised in the official Discord channel (via Resetera) that they would listen to player feedback and make adjustments to the price before release to accommodate that.
Via Reddit, it was also confirmed once again that all details about the changes will be released on September 17, 2025. It has already been revealed that all players who pre-ordered the Premium Edition will receive a refund. Buyers on Steam will not have to do anything further, as they will automatically receive a partial refund.
Things would look different for players on PlayStation 5 who bought the pre-order in the store. Those players will be contacted starting September 8, 2025, and will receive a full refund. They will then have to purchase the game again before the release once the price adjustments are made.
How high these refunds will be or whether the two clans currently hidden behind DLCs will become part of the main game is still unclear. Unfortunately, you will have to wait until September 17 for this information.
After two weeks and over 50 hours of beta testing for Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier has gained a good impression of the upcoming anime MMORPG. He clarifies what players can expect and how to enjoy the title despite its Pay2Win elements.
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is the re-release of the long-awaited Blue Protocol that many players have been anticipating. When it was announced that Amazon Games would bring the MMORPG to the West, fans of anime and MMORPGs alike were excited.
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is basically a kind of Frankenstein’s monster: rebuilt from a failed MMORPG and equipped with the elements that Tencent believes will bring success to the game:
Characters and world in a charming anime style
An extensive shop and a feature-rich character editor for great diversity
Focus on theme park and PvE
Short content so that the MMORPG is suitable for casual play
Support for both PC and mobile (iOS and Android) so that it can be played on the go
In China, the new MMORPG is performing well so far, and now it aims to achieve success in the West. MeinMMO expert Cedric Holmeier knows how the chances look.
Who is writing this? Cedric Holmeier is an expert on Asian MMORPGs. He has spent thousands of hours in Swords of Legends Online, Throne and Liberty, Tarisland, and many other MMORPGs from Asia. For MeinMMO, he has looked at the new Blue Protocol: Star Resonance and tested whether it is suitable for Western players.
Here you can watch the trailer for Blue Protocol: Star Resonance:

Discouraging on Paper
If you look purely at the facts, Blue Protocol: Star Resonance initially sounds like the typical Asian MMORPG:
Pay2Win in many facets
Time-gating in dungeons, leveling, and story
A shop with partly revealing and partly childish designs for clothes and accessories
Energy system for crafting and trade
Housing with an AFK planting mechanic that encourages players to log in repeatedly
Mobile HUD with simultaneous focus on PC and mobile
Auto-fight and auto-navigation, although there is no real auto-play
Season system instead of major expansions
Equipment that can be upgraded with half a dozen various functions before it is completely replaced every two weeks
Many of these points are also found in other Asian MMORPGs; however, hits like Throne and Liberty and Blade and Soul: NEO attract many thousands of players. They may deter especially in the West, but they do not mean that an MMORPG cannot succeed at all.
Although Blue Protocol: Star Resonance may sound discouraging at first glance, it really surprised me during testing. The game pace sets clear limits through time-gating and ensures that no one can level up for 48 hours. While that sounds tough, it also allows casual players to keep up with hardcore gamers.
Dungeons: On the first day, I was already able to farm in the Goblin Dungeon, break down unnecessary gear, and build new gear from it. Anyone who works diligently can be fully equipped on the first day.
World bosses: They spawn in the open world for all players every half hour. With more than 20 players, you fight them, grab the loot, and sometimes even receive rare items like a boss copy as a combat companion – it’s exciting!
Raids: You are supposed to encounter tough challenges in raids with up to 20 players. However, these were not available in beta yet.
Progression: Dozens of systems that enhance the character and build upon each other. Crafting, grinding, dungeons, housing, everything can be used to improve your character. This invites experimentation.
The corset of the gameplay loop is tightly laced, but due to the regular improvement of your own character, there are always small success moments, such as when you reach the necessary gear score for the next dungeon.
The longer you play daily, the smaller the successes become over the course of the gameplay hours. The first minute is always the most efficient and the last minute of the day is always the least effective. Regular players have a corresponding advantage, but it usually amounts to only a day or two ahead of casual players.
Daily activities of Blue Protocol: Star Resonance.
Classes and Skills
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance relies on the holy trinity of the genre: tanks, healers, and DPS. However, a character can learn all 9 available classes simultaneously, which is particularly advantageous if a regular group member drops out.
Can you play two classes?
Theoretically, you can even play all classes at the same time in Blue Protocol: Star Resonance. However, due to the various gear sets, skill upgrades, and enhancement materials, this is not a good idea as a free-to-play player.
You receive just enough loot to play one class at a normal level. To play a second or even more classes, you will hardly be able to avoid spending real money – at least if you want to keep up. I would recommend rather creating one or two twinks and completing daily tasks there as well.
The skill system is refined – each class has nine skills available, including:
2 standard skills
1 ultimate skill
4 choice skills
2 battle image skills
The first 7 skills can be improved through the talent tree, skill upgrades, and skill expansions. For the battle image skills, grinding is particularly important. They can be earned from the above-mentioned world bosses and provide you with passive stats for your character.
However, the downside is that all skills can also be improved through the use of real money. Although there are daily limits, those who invest money have a clear advantage. Especially regarding the battle image skills, players with enough investment can give their character (especially at the beginning of a season) a significant advantage.

Nevertheless: The fights feel fundamentally fun, the dungeons require teamwork, and the in-game guides for the master modes give hope for great challenges.
If you’re not keen on grinding, you can also let the game run passively via auto-fight – rewards are still gained. However, there is no real auto-play in the game. Your character randomly presses all buttons from 1 to 9 and selects the nearest target via tab. This is sufficient for grinding, but it becomes very tight in dungeons.
By the way, Blue Protocol: Star Resonance does not have a PvP mode. If a player enhances their character with real money, they can only prove their newfound strength against monsters and teammates. Also, one searches in beta for a DPS, HPS, or tank meter in vain.

Who is Blue Protocol for?
Whether you can have fun with Blue Protocol: Star Resonance depends solely on your own attitude:
Those who want to play at the top, interested in leaderboards, day-1 clears, and the best gear, will find it difficult to succeed without real money. Those who are put off by this should avoid the new MMORPG.
Those who want to play casually can expect about two hours of content daily with dungeons, world bosses, and a lot of theme park. However, when encountering new and difficult dungeons, one might feel outmatched until they catch up a few days later.
As a free player, you can theoretically achieve everything in Star Resonance; it just takes longer. In the test, I noticed that the requirements for the harder difficulty of the dungeons were often set in a way that you needed to have completed everything every day up to that point and required some luck to gather enough character power.
If that was too low, I couldn’t enter the dungeon alone via the group finder. Then only my guild group without matchmaking helps, which has no requirements and can try it on their own at any time.
This will present a significant challenge for beginners later. With the countless systems, it is almost impossible to carve out the perfect path from the beginning and earn all items every day.
One of the dungeons in the game – to enter, a minimum Ability Score of 7,560 or a personal group is required.
The Big BUT
Monetization remains the elephant in the room. Almost every system in the game works easier and faster with real money. Anyone who is allergic to shops, skins, or time limits should better not start with Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, at least if the developers don’t change anything after the beta.
Star Resonance is not the next WoW, FFXIV, or Guild Wars 2. It’s an Asian MMORPG for casual play, and it fulfills that role well. The developers would do well to listen to their own community and adjust the MMORPG, in terms of upgrade systems and monetization, more for the West.
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is a contradiction in itself: on paper, it is discouraging, but in practice, it is surprisingly entertaining. It is an MMORPG that strategically sets up small success experiences and can bring joy to casual players. The gameplay loop feels fun despite its tight structure and encourages experimentation.
The last arc of Demon Slayer will be shown as a film trilogy in theaters. If you still need to watch the anime completely or just want to rewatch it, that’s even possible.
Which film is this about? Demon Slayer is showing the grand finale of the manga not as a season in the anime, but as a film trilogy in theaters. It starts with the first film on September 18, 2025, which shows the first part of the “Infinity Castle” arc. The film has already premiered in Japan in July 2025, where a fan is likely to face a hefty penalty.
Protagonist Tanjiro and his companions must confront Muzan, the highest-ranking demon in the world. Several battles will commence between Muzan’s subordinates and the strongest demon slayers, known as the Hashira. Readers of the manga already know how the battles end, as the story concluded in 2020.
When the other two films will be released is still unknown. We only know that it starts in Germany on September 18. And if you want to watch the complete anime again until then, or experience it for the first time, that is still possible.

Demon Slayer: Trailer for the Infinity Castle Arc Movie
Here’s how you can catch up on the entire anime before the theatrical release
What do I need to catch up on? To have the previous storyline in mind, you need to watch all the arcs. Unlike Naruto or One Piece, Demon Slayer has hardly any fillers that are unimportant to the story.
Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to watch all the films that have been shown in theaters on a single streaming service. The films have condensed several episodes of the anime and would have shortened the time needed to watch the complete storyline.
Therefore, you need to catch up on the entire anime with all episodes either on Crunchyroll, Netflix, or as Blu-ray / DVD:
Season 1 with 26 episodes
Season 2 with 18 episodes
Season 3 with 11 episodes
Season 4 with 8 episodes
In some seasons, there are episodes with extended lengths, usually the first or last episodes of a season. Otherwise, we take an average time of 21 minutes for calculations, as you can skip the intro and outro. This results in a total time of 23 hours and 50 minutes.
How long do I need to watch per day? Based on this, you would need to watch about 2 hours and 10 minutes each day until the theatrical release to be ready. However, you need to demonstrate good endurance, as if you miss even one day, you will have to watch over 4 hours the next day.
Why should I do this? The airing of Demon Slayer has spanned over the last few years. To be up to date for the movie and have all of Tanjiro’s experiences fresh in your memory, it would be a good idea to rewatch the anime.
However, it may also be that you have missed the hype surrounding Demon Slayer so far, but now want to jump in. That would also be possible and is more a matter of ambition.
Besides Demon Slayer, there is another film from a well-known anime that is set to be released this year. Additionally, another film that fans of a classic can look forward to is also coming.

Not every face reveal by content creators on YouTube or Twitch goes as planned, and some are not planned at all. MeinMMO shows you content creators whose reveals went wrong.
What is a face reveal? Not every content creator is known on the internet by their face. Many either use a mask, do not show their appearance in any way, or use an avatar. Most content creators do this to protect their identity or privacy.
Nevertheless, some communities are curious and demand a face reveal. Sometimes, content creators comply with this request, but the outcome is not always as desired. We present you with 4 content creators whose face reveals did not go as planned.
Start video
These are the 5 most relevant German streamers on Twitch in 2024, according to Google
Dream
One of the most famous cases of a face reveal was the American Minecraft YouTuber and Twitch streamer Clay “Dream”. His YouTube videos about Minecraft received millions of views, but the YouTuber showed his face only in 2022. Before that, he hid it behind a simple smiling mask. His community eagerly awaited the moment he would reveal himself.
The YouTuber teased the reveal of his face in private FaceTime calls with other content creators, such as Pokimane or GeorgeNotFound. The reactions to his face were widely posted on social media to generate further hype.
In October 2022, Dream released the YouTube video “Hi, I’m Dream” and showed his face. However, the face reveal did not have the desired effect, as on X, formerly Twitter, the hashtag #PutTheMaskBackOn trended. Many from the community mocked the YouTuber’s appearance, created memes about him, and a few even insulted him.
The consequences: Around less than a year later, in June 2023, Dream revealed that the reactions heavily impacted him, and he would put the mask back on. Since then, Dream has not shown his face publicly. Dream’s face reveal is a well-known example that showing one’s face does not always have to go well.
Disguised Toast
The Twitch streamer Jeremy “DisguisedToast” Wang is now well-known everywhere by his face, but it wasn’t always like that. At the beginning of his career, he wore, as his name suggests, a toast mask whenever a camera was pointed at him. He shared the story of his face reveal in a video on Instagram.
In 2016, he accidentally turned on his camera without wearing his mask. Viewers immediately clipped the moment, and some people even tried to blackmail the Twitch streamer with it.
To give those people no basis for blackmail, DisguisedToast decided to simply reveal his face publicly. Although this face reveal was unintentional, it turned out relatively well for DisguisedToast, as his community reacted mostly positively.
Corpse Husband
Corpse Husband was a Twitch streamer who gained popularity especially in 2020 and 2021. Initially, he read horror stories on his YouTube channel, and then he streamed the game Among Us with other American streamers. He also attempted to make music on his YouTube channel.
He hid his actual appearance behind a drawn character and was heavily sexualized due to his very deep voice. His deep voice piqued the community’s curiosity about his appearance.
Corpse Husband never had an official face reveal; instead, alleged photos of his face circulated on social media in September 2021. Many believed that it was definitely Corpse Husband, although it was never officially confirmed.
This image circulated in September 2021 (Source: X).
Similar to Dream, the reactions were mixed, but the negative ones prevailed, leading Corpse Husband to withdraw from the internet. To this day, he has not returned; however, his former Twitch colleague Valkyrae mentioned in a stream (highlight on YouTube) that she still has contact with him and regularly plays games with him offline.
During a New Year’s stream, he wore a mask and had a camera pointed at him. During the stream, he accidentally tore it off his face. Hugo then immediately went offline and had the VOD deleted, but viewers had already taken screenshots.
In a later stream, his camera showed a still image of his face; an error that occurred after he had adjusted some settings on his camera offline. LetsHugo claimed that it had been his cousin, which the community initially believed.
After the last incident, LetsHugo initially withdrew but then decided to do an “official” face reveal alongside the then Twitch streamer Ungespielt, which he also uploaded as a YouTube video.
A face reveal is not always voluntary, and in some cases, it can even harm the careers of content creators. What do you think about our examples? Can you think of any more?

Great improvements are coming for several classes in World of Warcraft. We will reveal who will soon be significantly stronger than before.
Although Season 3 of The War Within in World of Warcraft has been running for quite a while, the balance is not yet perfect. Some classes and specializations do not deliver the performance necessary to keep up with others.
Therefore, some major buffs are on the way in the coming days. This not only affects DPS specializations, but also a few healers are getting significant improvements. Especially Holy Priests can look forward to big buffs. Hunters, Commanders, and Druids are also on the winning side.
