The YouTuber WolfeyVGC is a true Pokémon expert. He has caught all Pokémon up to Generation 9 and created an ultimate ranking. He took his time to do this, specifically almost 4 hours.
What does the ranking look like? In the ranking, the YouTuber distributed 1,133 placements. Actually, there are only 1,025 Pokédex entries. However, many regional forms and Mega Evolutions were included in this ranking.
The video starts with the last place, which is occupied by Relluk from Generation 9. The YouTuber reportedly hates this Pokémon because it is small, ugly, and hardly visible in the game.
His top 10 are as follows:
Rank 1: Kyogre
Rank 2: Groudon
Rank 3: Charizard
Rank 4: Fuegro
Rank 5: Cresselia
Rank 6: Xerneas
Rank 7: Dratini
Rank 8: Rayquaza
Rank 9: Salamence
Rank 10: Mimic
To explain the complete ranking in detail, the YouTuber needs around 4 hours. You can watch the full video here:

For the ranking, Wolfey along with 2 friends evaluated each Pokémon from 1 to 10 across several categories. The average of the scores determined the rank. The favorite Pokémon of MeinMMO editor Jasmin, Sniebel, lands on a solid 309th place.
Professional Ranking with Expert Assessment
How was the ranking created? Each Pokémon was rated using a 10-point system across 3 specific categories. The final ranking was derived from the average of the points assigned by the YouTuber and his 2 friends.
On one hand, the competitive viability in official tournaments was assessed. Important factors included base stats, type combination, available moves, and special abilities.
The second criterion was the design. This category is the most subjective, which is why the YouTuber involved 2 friends with different tastes.
Finally, the cult status of a Pokémon was examined. Important factors included appearances in the anime or their status as mascots. A good question to verify cult status would be: Would my mother recognize this Pokémon?

What kind of YouTuber is he? Wolfey is the VGC World Champion from 2016. He has been playing at the highest professional level for over a decade and has won nearly every major tournament. He was so successful that he was invited by The Pokémon Company itself as an official commentator for major tournaments.

Charlie Cox is an important part of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 with his voice. After the very positive reaction to the title, the actor is surprised and announces that he will appear in a new game soon.
Who did Charlie Cox play in Clair Obscur? In the role-playing game from Sandfall Interactive released in 2025, the actor is heard as Gustave. Mind you, only heard, as the motion-capture performance of the character was taken over by Maxence Cazorla.
Clair Obscur was uncharted territory for Charlie Cox. Until now, he had never voiced a role in a game and had mainly worked in front of the camera for series and films. Among other things, he played Daredevil in the Marvel series of the same name.
Anyone who has played Clair Obscur knows that the role of Gustave is relatively small. In any case, it is very emotional, without giving too much away. Just this much: Not least the vocal performance of Charlie Cox has surely brought tears to some.
In an interview, the actor now spoke about the reactions to Clair Obscur – and how his journey in the video game world will continue.

A New Path
How was the experience? In a conversation with Agents of Fandom on YouTube, Cox talks about the game and how much he loved being a part of it:
I was completely blown away by the success [of Clair Obscur] and the impact the game had. It apparently opened up a whole new path for my professional work.
Charlie Cox
Cox further shares that he will also appear in a new video game in 2026. The industry was previously unknown to him, but it sounds like he is quite taken by it and open to further projects.
Unfortunately, the actor has not yet revealed any details about the next game. We know neither the title nor which developer it is from. Cox only lets slip that his role will be significantly larger than in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. More work will be necessary for that, more certainly than the four hours he spent in the studio as Gustave.
One reason for the actor’s enthusiasm for the medium may also be the reaction from fans. In the interview, Cox emphasizes how surprised he was by the passion of the players. According to his own statement, he only knows such dedication from Marvel fans.
In Bungie’s shooter Marathon, there is a particularly strong movement technique that only works with a specific class. Players are already debating whether this could be an exploit.
What kind of trick is this?The Thief is one of the playable characters in Marathon. He can use a grappling hook to navigate the map. Normally, he propels a player a certain distance in one direction before going into cooldown. As a result, the Thief can move better than other classes.
There is also a combination that allows you to get the most out of the grappling hook. You need to perform a sprint-slide followed by a jump. When you then activate the grappling hook, the player achieves an incredible forward speed that far exceeds normal levels. It is comparable to the engines of heavy destroyer shells.
What are the advantages? This combination allows players to bypass the cooldown of the grappling hook. It resets immediately, enabling the trick to be executed multiple times in succession. This allows players to literally fly across the map.
Other shells consume a lot of resources to move quickly. However, this trick costs almost nothing. This enables a skilled Thief to outmaneuver any other shell, engage in fights faster, or escape. Furthermore, he can secure the best loot in this way.

Marathon will learn from the mistakes of ARC Raiders and take a tough stance against cheaters
Trick causes discomfort among players
What are the disadvantages? The trick is so powerful that it completely overshadows other movement-specialized shells. Professionals who master the technique become nearly untouchable. Casual players have little chance to react.
Users are therefore talking about a possible exploit. In the comments on X, many assume that this trick could soon be removed from the game or at least nerfed. One fan, for example, sees the possibility that the cooldown could be set to at least 4 seconds.
Most agree that such a trick should be removed from the game. It would destroy the balancing. An official response from Bungie is still pending.
The release of Crimson Desert is just around the corner, and analysts have already looked at how well the title is selling.
Who is it about? You don’t need to be an analyst to see the strong sales of Crimson Desert, after all, the open-world game is listed among the best sellers on all platforms.
However, the analysts at Alinea Analytics took a closer look at the sales figures and revealed who Crimson Desert appeals to the most.
Here you can watch the trailer for Crimson Desert:

Over 350,000 sales
How is Crimson Desert performing? Even though the review embargo has not even been lifted yet, Crimson Desert is selling wonderfully. According to analysts, the game has already sold over 363,000 copies on March 16, just 3 days before the release.
This is reported to result in revenue of over 20 million euros, just on Steam. Sales on PS5, Xbox, Epic Games, and GeForce Now are still to come on top of that.
But that’s not all. Most players are reportedly still waiting. About 2.2 million players have the title on their wishlist on Steam and are likely waiting for the first reviews before purchasing.
Who does Crimson Desert appeal to? It is also interesting to see who Crimson Desert actually appeals to. The analysts from Alinea Analytics mention three titles and indicate whether players have Crimson Desert on their wishlist and what they have already played.
The largest overlap is likely with The Witcher 3 and Crimson Desert, as according to analysts, 62% of all players who have Crimson Desert on their wishlist have played that. Elden Ring also has a high correlation with 44%.
That Crimson Desert is not a true RPG has likely been understood by the fans of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 as well. Only 16% of players who have Crimson Desert on their wishlist have previously played the medieval RPG.
Many players are waiting for the reviews from testers. We at MeinMMO will keep you updated around the release of Crimson Desert with articles, guides, and everything you need for a successful gaming weekend.

Actually, MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus wanted to test the new Starfinder: Afterlight on Steam. He did – but due to something an NPC mentioned in passing, the desire for an old role-playing game suddenly resurfaced: Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.
As you may have already noticed, I am really looking forward to the upcoming Starfinder: Afterlight, a cRPG from a Spanish indie studio that has managed to get the help of Baldur’s Gate 3 star Neil Newbon.
With Afterlight, the developers of Epictellers Entertainment are focusing primarily on companions and their stories, with an emphasis on narrative and the relationship between player and companion. This already caught my attention during the presentation, and I am in constant contact to absorb as much new information as possible.
We have now been invited to see some new features in advance and especially to play the upcoming playtest right now. There wasn’t much to do in the game yet and it is… still very raw, but I am still really excited. Starfinder: Afterlight knows exactly which buttons to push for me.
Start video
Das Sci-Fi-Rollenspiel Starfinder: Afterlight zeigt die freche Piraten-Kapitänin im Trailer
A single hint awakens beloved memories
The playtest is just that: a test in a very early stage of the game. In an hour or less, you can already get through the content available in the playtest:
Three pre-made characters with fixed archetypes and weapons are available; character creation will come later.
You get to know two of the companions, the space grasshopper Preach, actually G’og N’o (along with a cute, very awake larva), and Sterling.
There is a tutorial fight, a boss fight, and an optional fight.
A few smaller decisions lead to some alternative paths at least.
The narrator, Roger Clark, who also voices Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption, plays a large part in the narrative.
However, in one of the first conversations, the bartender of the dive I go to right at the beginning dropped a single word that made me sit up straight: Iomedae. I clicked through the dialogue and started over just to make sure I heard it right.
A mouseover over the text field and the underlined word “Iomedae” confirms what I suspected: it is indeed about a goddess from the world of Pathfinder. And one that I know all too well.
Already 400 hours in Wrath of the Righteous, now it will be even more
Iomedae is one of the central figures in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and one of the possible patrons for a faithful player character – with appropriate hints in the game itself when you worship her.
For me, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is one of the absolute best role-playing games ever, even though it can be quite confusing for beginners due to its complexity. Actually, I have already completed the game twice and started several runs, but right after the playtest of Starfinder, I reinstalled it for a new run.
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous offers an enormous amount of content that one cannot see in just one run because much depends on one’s own choices:
There are different “mythical paths” that you can take, some of which can literally change the course of history.
Evil, good, chaotic, and lawful actions affect how NPCs react to me and sometimes even how the town I manage looks. In my first run, for example, I was a lich and quite a few of my citizens were… not quite alive anymore.
The behavior towards companions also plays a role, as does who I enter into a relationship with and who I don’t.
When I played my first run back then, I could hardly decide which path to follow. Meanwhile, I know the stories of the lich and the aeon – now my goal is to play a trickster who knows he is in a game and can take corresponding actions. I am really excited about that!
Select a MMO video…
Starfinder evokes the right feeling, but is still quite raw
The reason I’m falling back into Pathfinder is not just the word “Iomedae.” Epictellers Entertainment has taken inspiration from the games of Owlcat and Larian, and you can definitely tell in the short playtest.
There are many familiar details, such as a visible die for tests and, of course, the UI that many cRPGs share. However, the atmosphere emanating from Starfinder immediately reminded me of Pathfinder – and also Rogue Trader as a science fiction inspiration.
Nevertheless, I didn’t stick with Starfinder but switched to Pathfinder. Why? The simple answer: because I have completed the test. There’s simply not much more to see yet. Plus, the game in its current state is still quite rough.
Fights are somewhat awkward because there are hardly any proper hotkeys; attacks must be performed manually by clicking on weapons and opponents. There is no tutorial, and you can’t save. And closing loot windows doesn’t work with escape, only with a click on a very small button, similar to annoying pop-up ads.
Epictellers definitely needs to work on these things, and this should serve as information for you: if you play the playtest yourself, don’t expect too much. Check out the world, but keep in mind that the game is still a long way from release. You can sign up for the playtest on Steam, which starts on March 19. Early access is still planned for this year.
I have to admit I have a bit of a bias toward Starfinder because I want this game to be good. Still, I am convinced that the gameplay is already on a good path and can become really strong with proper polish. Then again, I’ve only seen an hour of it and hope for more.

In Marathon, players are currently solving a complex puzzle to unlock a new map. The complexity and structure of the puzzle are reminiscent of good times.
What kind of puzzle is this? In Marathon, players are currently solving what is known as an Alternate Reality Game (ARG). It is essentially a puzzle that consists of numerous smaller puzzles created by Bungie.
The community never knows what the next step of the ARG looks like or how many steps are still to follow. They have to figure everything out themselves. Some information comes from an external website, while others are found in the game. For example, the puzzlers had to find terminals on different maps and interact with them in a specific order.
Later, they had to visit locations in the game shown to them in photos and check the compass to get the solution to a new puzzle based on the compass markings. At one moment, they decipher coordinates; in the next, they follow clues from cryptic images.
Start video
Bungie presents Marathon in the launch trailer
The solution to the puzzle brings the endgame
Why is the community doing this? Once the community solves the ARG, a new map will be unlocked for all players of Marathon. This map is called Cryo Archive and initiates the endgame of the extraction shooter.
Bungie emphasizes that Cryo Archive should be a real challenge for players. Therefore, they must meet certain requirements to even be able to play the map. For instance, they need to be at least level 25 and carry equipment worth over 5,000 credits – which is a lot, so we’re talking purple weapons, backpacks, etc.
What lies behind the 60 pages? The solution to the ARG has been ongoing for several days. Every time the community solves a puzzle, they receive a new one.
To ensure that all players participating in the puzzle are up-to-date, understand the previous puzzles, and can assist in solving the current puzzles, the community maintains a document. This document collects not only puzzle solutions, hints, and theories but also a wealth of screenshots.
The entire document spans over 60 pages – that’s almost 8,000 words and about 48,000 characters. For comparison: This article has about 4,100 characters.
What is the status of the ARG? Players are likely in the final phase. It is expected that the ARG will be solved soon. Bungie has already added the new map Cryo Archive to the game.
How does this remind me of the greatest strength of Destiny 2? Okay, this might be a bit controversial, but: The ARG and how deeply part of the community puzzles while other players simply play reminds me strongly of what I truly love about Destiny.
When talking about the greatest strength of Destiny, one could also think of the excellent gunplay, the appealing loot, or the raids and dungeons. However, I primarily think of world-building, the lore, and how deeply one can get entangled in it – if one wishes to.
There have also always been ARGs in Destiny, where the community puzzled for days on end. I find that fascinating every time. Not many games manage to create a situation where players can spend days outside of the game wracking their brains to solve puzzles. But that allows fans to dive even deeper into the story of the respective universe.
The art of it is that you are not forced to participate. If you just want to farm loot, you can do that. It is not part of a playable story campaign where at some point you are forced to solve a puzzle to continue playing. If you are not interested in the lore or simply don’t like puzzles, you can completely ignore it.
WoW Midnight is good – but there are problems. Especially three of them need to be fixed for the expansion to be a success.
World of Warcraft Midnight has been live for a few weeks now and the first impressions of most players are quite good. Even though the expansion still has to prove how good the endgame really is in the coming days, the signs are positive. However, there are also some criticisms and shortcomings that have been revealed in the last days and weeks. These problems need to be addressed by the developers promptly, as they can spoil the gaming experience in certain areas or even entirely.
We take a look at the three biggest criticisms currently leveled at World of Warcraft Midnight.
Start video
WoW Midnight: Arator’s Light and the Firebrand
The open world endgame events are underdeveloped
To put it quite bluntly: The 4 major endgame events in World of Warcraft Midnight range somewhere between “fairly okay” and “extremely boring”.
Saltheril’s Soiree is definitely part of the “fairly okay” group. Here, you can choose each week which faction you want to support, complete a handful of world quests for that faction, and ultimately a larger mission that can be completed with a group in just moments. It’s not particularly exciting, but solid and classic WoW gameplay and big hurdles.
The Legends from Harandar are also solid. Every week, there’s a new story about an artifact and more background knowledge about the Haranir. This is interesting for lore fans – those who aren’t interested can simply rush through the quests and finish without reading the “boring” stuff that story enthusiasts like.
The adventures in Harandar are fine – but nothing special.
Significantly worse is the Stormarion event in the Empty Storm. In theory, a cool event with elements from tower defense games, it turns out to be quite boring. Not only do you need 5 minutes to activate the defenses – which are usually set up in just 30 seconds – but even after that, not much happens. You simply fight for 10 minutes against relentless waves of enemies, against which you are either helpless due to too few player characters, or you steamroll them so relentlessly that there’s no real danger of anything going wrong.
Particularly annoying is that you must be present at the start of the event. If you join in at wave 2 or 3, you won’t receive any quest progress and are just wasting your time. This makes this event even more frustrating.
Particularly negatively noteworthy is the Abundance event. It simply feels like it needed a few more weeks of development time. Because the first days after the launch, the event was an absolute grind fest, where it was best to go out with a group to achieve absurd scores of several million points.
The “Abundance” event is extremely boring.
Blizzard apparently didn’t like that and nerfed the event into the ground. Now, it’s just a very tedious mob grind that you have to perform for 24 minutes every week. It lacks fun and no matter how you look at it: It’s just boring. Abundance in its current form offers neither interesting gameplay nor exciting rewards; it’s just a “mandatory grind” that you have to complete for good profession gear.

Not affected by this criticism is the Prey system, or “Loot”. It feels good and coherent, makes playing in the open world more interesting, and resembles a “Hard Mode” for the open game world. This can stay just like that and be expanded further, as it feels like a real enhancement.

The demise of Highguard came even faster than its critics thought possible. Now Sony is taking care of those on the PS5 who still believed in the shooter.
What does Sony plan? As reported by former players of Highguard on PlayStation, Sony has started issuing refunds for purchases in Highguard. This is happening to players without any request to support, but purely from Sony itself.
One user shows a screenshot with several refunds that Sony has returned to him. Whether Sony itself is behind this or the developers of Highguard is still unknown.
Other users report that they still have to fight for their spending on Steam and Xbox, and there are no automatic refunds yet on those platforms.
Here you can see the trailer for Highguard:
Start video
Highguard zeigt im Trailer, was euch im neuen PvP-Raid-Shooter erwartet
Early End for Highguard
What will be refunded? Highguard was meant to be a live-service game that would be successful for years, but the early end also destroyed the access of supporters to skins and other in-game purchases that were made.
Although the shooter was free, its fans who spent real money on skins have been waiting for refunds since its end.
How did Highguard come to such a rapid end? Even the release of Highguard was demonized by many fans. The hatred for the title was already significant before it even started, because the developers showcased their game as a major new announcement at the Game Awards, while fans were expecting something different.
But even in-game there were many problems with Highguard. While professionals quickly understood the various phases of the shooter, casual players faced too many obstacles to find a good entry point.
The shooter did not guide its new players enough, leading to numerous complaints about the large game world, which beginners found difficult to navigate.
The wave of hate and the loss of casual players right from the start caused significant problems for Highguard. Even though the developers tried to turn the tide with new content until the end, they ultimately had to concede defeat.
Less than two months after launch, the servers were taken offline, and the game was sent to video game heaven.
The developers of Helldivers 2 have shared a roadmap with the fans, creating much excitement.Players can look forward to new biomes, campaigns, and general improvements.
What is this roadmap about? Actually, the developers of Helldivers 2 have so far refrained from providing roadmaps. In the past, there were suddenly livestreams, videos, and updates that surprised the players.
Now, however, the developers have published their plans for version 6.0 and the upcoming monthly updates in a roadmap, giving the fans plenty of reasons to be excited.
Here you can see the trailer for the latest update 6.0:
Start video
Helldivers 2 shows in the trailer for Machinery of Oppression how the new cyborgs change the fight
Updates until June
What does the roadmap show? The roadmap starts with update 6.0, which brought the cyborgs and the battle for Cyberstan into the game. The update was released in February and has skyrocketed player numbers again.
Furthermore, the roadmap shows the next three updates, versions 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3, for the months of March, April, and June. Why there is no update in May, however, remains uncertain.
With the March update 6.1, new enemies will be introduced. According to the last trailer, they appear to be part of the Illuminated. At the same time, a new galactic campaign surrounding the faction will also debut. New mission types, a new war bond, as well as various game improvements and balance changes will also be part of it.
Update 6.2 will then bring two new biomes in April. Correspondingly, there will be a new galactic campaign that even introduces new enemy types. A new war bond and further improvements are also planned.
After the pause in May, the next update 6.3 will roll out in June. Here, there will be a new biome and again a new war bond, along with a new campaign and both balance and general improvements.
You can view the entire roadmap here:
How do fans feel about the roadmap? Although Helldivers 2 has started off very well without a roadmap, fans are celebrating the new roadmap. There is much praise for the decision, which also relates to the players’ expectations.
Until now, there has been intermittent hope for updates on items or enemies that were not even on the developers’ agenda. Players are posting on Reddit:
ArcUlf: “Great. This is awesome, so we know what to expect in the future […]”
jerichoneric: “To everyone who feels like ‘it’s the same as what they [the developers] have been doing all this time’: This is also good information on a roadmap. It means we can curb speculation about systems […] We know they won’t be working on that in the coming months. I prefer they are clear and honest about what they are doing and what they are not, rather than getting our hopes up.”
JediJulius said on Reddit: “I definitely appreciate any type of roadmap when it is released, but I feel like half of their points (new war bond, QoL fixes, new galactic war campaigns) are things we were anyway expecting on a basis of about 1–2 months”
ackground_Source922: “Still no progression or weapon customization on the roadmap until June? Very disappointing.”
The German developer cakez77 looks at the money he has earned with his first game on Steam and breaks down in tears live on Twitch.
What kind of developer is he and what kind of game? The German developer cakez77 has long tried his hand at game development. Initially, he only published games on the indie website itch.io, but he recently released his first game on Steam: Tangy TD.
Tangy TD is a strategic tower defense game in pixel style. The goal is to protect the witch Tangy from monsters. For this, there are various troops, weapons, and a sophisticated skill system.
By the way: If you want to try the game, it is currently 12% cheaper on Steam and costs only 8.79 euros.
Overall, cakez77 worked on the game for 4 years, and the game developer shared his progress on his Twitch channel.
Now, cakez77 looked at the total revenue from the game after he had gone viral with an emotional clip about his sales figures in the subreddit r/LivestreamFails.

How much has cakez77 earned by now? In a Twitch stream on Saturday, March 14, 2026, cakez77 opened his Steam dashboard: His game has made a revenue of $245,123 on Steam within a week, which is equivalent to 212,438.30 euros (as of March 18, 2026).
Of course, deductions for returns and taxes apply, leaving the developer with an amount of $197,847, or 171,483.89 euros (as of March 18, 2026). From this, taxes in Germany will also be deducted.
This is a very high sum, which makes cakez77 cry with joy. After all, all the hard work over the past years has paid off. His partner next to him is also happy for him, hugs him, and gives him kisses.

Tangy TD has sold a total of 28,078 copies. A remarkable increase considering that the game had already sold over 3,500 copies a day after its release. Just a week ago, 30,000 people were excited live on Twitch with the game developer about the first sales.
How does the community react? The clip was also posted on Reddit. Under the Reddit post, the community shares in his joy:
chthonictroglodyte writes: I think it’s wonderful how sincerely they are happy for him.

Regarding Dragon Ball, there is an extremely rare TV special that is part of the Dragon Ball Z anime. Unfortunately, the episode was shown only once – but according to ratings, you didn’t miss much.
What kind of episode is it? The episode aired on August 3, 1992, about a month after the release of Dragon Ball Z – The Movie: Attack of the Cyborgs, which is set between episodes 150 and 151.
The setting of the special is the same as from the movie, taking place shortly after the end of the cyborg film. However, Son-Goku and his son Son-Gohan are wandering the streets of the city. They are wearing completely white suits.
The two Saiyans talk about the first 3 Dragon Ball movies and the first 7 Dragon Ball Z movies. In the end, they want to get rid of the suits, and Son-Goku materializes all his strength to burst out of the tuxedo.
His son tries to do the same, but he fails in this action. Goku encourages him that he will eventually be able to do it too.

Why can’t it be seen anywhere? The episode was aired only once, and that was in Japan. There is no release on DVD, and it has never been translated into English or even German.
The only reference to this special can be found in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. In the Extra Pack 2 DLC, you can unlock a suit that looks exactly like the one in the special. However, in the video game itself, you can still color it.
Did I miss something? The special was intended as promotional material for the movie. Accordingly, there isn’t much plot to justify catching up on the special in any way. This is confirmed by the rating on IMDb, where 166 viewers rated the special only 5.7 out of 10 stars.
A curious newcomer is considering getting into ARC Raiders. He came across a Steam review that summarizes the multiplayer experience in the extraction shooter for solos, duos, and trios, and wants to know if this is really true. The community has a brief but clear answer.
What does the Steam review say about ARC Raiders? The Reddit user and potential player Coolman38321 shows the community a Steam review he stumbled upon. He is considering getting the game and wanted to know from experienced players how accurate the review is.
If you play ARC Raiders solo, it’s basically a relaxed wandering simulator with deadly robots. You loot, you explore the area, and mostly encounter nice people.
You go in as a duo and suddenly every bush looks suspicious. It’s still manageable, but many people aren’t as friendly anymore.
If you go in as a trio… Congratulations, you’re in the middle of World War III. Gunfire everywhere, troops popping up like ants, and every extraction turns into a movie scene from a last-stand film.

ARC Raiders has an incredibly peaceful community – Even the developers are surprised
A community with many different opinions surprisingly agrees
What does the ARC Raiders community say about this classification? Based on the reactions, it can be inferred that thousands of players can agree with the classification of the Steam review. This is not only shown by almost 9,000 upvotes, but also through a particularly long thread of a brief but clear answer, regardless of the language:
Reactions to the question of the potential player (Source: Reddit)
What “more specific” answer does the community provide to the curious newcomer? A few other players point out that while this classification on Steam hits the mark quite well, it should not be regarded as a reliable blueprint, as every round is different and you encounter different players.
“Sometimes you end up solo in PvP lobbies,” writes AppalachiaPrometheus. This is indeed true, as ARC Raiders has a “Aggression-based matchmaking” that sends similarly minded players to your lobbies based on player behavior. However, he also has to admit: “Trios land in a godless battlefield.”
This assessment is also supported by basketballupvoter: “It is generally known that solo games are intended for PvE and resource gathering, while duos and trios are meant for PvP and having fun with friends. While there can still be a colorful mix of players in both lobbies, if you have a consistent playstyle, you will usually be matched with players who have a similar mindset in your lobbies.”
A more important concern than just answering the newcomer’s question, however, lies in the deep recommendation of ARC Raiders, if one is already interested: “You don’t have to think long about whether to get the game – just grab it and get going. It’s a very special game that only comes around every one or two years.”
Another player who had already spent hundreds of hours in ARC Raiders received great attention from the community. He impresses the player base with his own way of playing with his mouth instead of using a mouse, keyboard, or controller due to a paralysis. But he has a problem: the anti-cheat system flagged the software he needs for that as a violation. Now the developers want to address the situation: Player plays ARC Raiders with his mouth and is likely to be permanently banned – The community pleads for mercy from the developers

The criticism around DLSS 5 does not stop. Players are complaining about Nvidia and the technology. Now Nvidia’s CEO has responded, stating that the criticism is nonsense.
Nvidia recently introduced DLSS 5. This is the next generation of Nvidia’s official upscaling technology. However, the criticism of the presented technology does not subside: players are complaining about the AI used and the possibility of completely altering people and content. In large forums like Reddit, there is currently no other topic that players are so upset about.
In a conversation with TomsHardware, Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang has now commented on the criticism. He replies that the players are completely wrong.

Why is RAM so expensive? The current situation explained in 2 minutes
Game developers should be free to decide how they want to use AI
What did Jensen Huang say? In the conversation, Huang explained that players are completely mistaken as they do not understand the technology. He states:
First of all, you are completely wrong. The reason is that DLSS 5, as I have already explained in detail, combines the controllability of geometry, textures, and all other aspects of the game with generative AI.
(…)
It is not post-processing, it is not post-processing at the frame level, it is generative control at the geometry level. All of this is under the control – the direct control – of the game developer. This is very different from generative AI; it is generative AI with content control. That’s why we call it ‘Neural Rendering’.
Huang also stated that developers can try out the tool and see how they want to use it, indicating that it is up to each developer to create or review a “toon shader.”
Moreover, developers should still be able to “fine-tune” the generative AI to adapt it to their style, and Nvidia’s CEO explained that DLSS 5 adds generative capabilities to the existing geometry of the game but that it “does not change artistic control.”
Therefore, developers will ultimately decide how their game looks, not the artificial intelligence, players, or anyone else.
In an interview, the head of the “GTA 6” publisher Take-Two talked about the target audience and revealed who it is actually intended for.
Who is it about? Strauss Zelnick is the CEO of Take-Two, the publisher of GTA 6. While Rockstar Games is responsible for the development, Take-Two handles marketing, advertising, and sales of the game.
It is therefore interesting to learn what Zelnick thinks about the target audience of GTA 6, and he gives a bold response.
Here you can watch the trailer for GTA 6:

Target Audience: Everyone
Who is the target audience of GTA 6? According to the Take-Two CEO, GTA 6 appeals to every adult gamer. In the USA, you can play the title from the age of 17 according to the youth protection release, so the head said in an interview with thegamebusiness.com:
“I believe many 17-year-olds will play GTA 6 […] I don’t think they will just give up because they haven’t played the previous games. On the contrary, I think we can reach players of all age groups.”
What about older gamers? Strauss Zelnick is convinced that GTA 6 will also cater to fathers. According to him, they would not spend less playtime on the title than 17-year-olds, rather, “If you are alone for an hour and want to relax, you listen to the music you listened to at 17.”
This also reveals that GTA 6 can be fun even if played for just an hour, which is important in today’s time of increasingly shorter gaming experiences.
Many fans who have been following the series for many years are now older, but according to the CEO, that does not stop them: “If you fell in love with video games at 17 and are now 40, guess what you are still doing? You are playing video games. That’s why the community keeps growing.”
How will GTA 6 become even bigger? In the interview, the head reveals that they are very focused on ensuring that GTA 6 makes a positive impression on fans and new players: “We only benefit when we develop excellent games.”
However, AI will not be used for GTA 6. The publisher behind GTA 6 only uses it to increase efficiency but does not replace human labor and certainly not creative processes: “There are programs that can generate a song that sounds quite decent based on instructions, but would you dare to listen to it a second time?”
Fans are looking forward to the return of the comedy series Scrubs in March. After a 16-year hiatus, it’s finally continuing, but the actors had a clear requirement, without which they probably wouldn’t be on board again.
Fans of Scrubs have probably marked March 25, 2026, thick in their calendars. On this day, the big revival of the comedy series will finally start in Germany. In the USA, the first episodes already aired starting February 25.
For long-time fans, the highlights will likely include the familiar faces in front of the camera. Particularly, the main roles will once again be played by the actors who have been seen since 2001.
Alongside Zach Braff as J.D., Donald Faison as Christopher Turk, Sarah Chalke as Elliot Reid, John C. McGinley as Perry, and Judy Reyes as Carla Espinosa will also return.
The latter recently revealed in an interview under what condition the revival actually came about.

All or None
What does Judy Reyes say? In an interview with Movieweb, the actress spoke about the prerequisites that led her and the other cast members to return to Scrubs:
I believe it was somehow because we were all together – the five of us, our guest stars, and Bill Lawrence were also part of it. That was simply the prerequisite for all of us to participate. And once that was clarified, one felt somehow secure. Then Bill worked on the script and finished it, and when we read it, it was funny, right?
Judy Reyes
Besides the main actors, the return of Bill Lawrence was also very important. He came up with the idea for Scrubs and guided the series as showrunner. Some episodes were directly written by him and directed. In recent years, he celebrated further successes with series like Ted Lasso.
His renewed involvement in Scrubs will likely ensure the distinctive humor and tone that fans have come to love. After he wrote the script for the revival, there was a meeting between Lawrence and the cast. Judy Reyes recalls:
Then we had this read-through, which – to put it in the language of the youth – was awesome… The atmosphere was really electrifying. People stayed together afterwards. They took pictures. They talked about how excited they were, and we knew we had created something special.
Judy Reyes
By the way, fans should expect a continuation of the series – which ignores the unpopular season 9 – but the characters may have changed a bit. Zach Braff mentioned to CBR that the characters have become more mature by now:
“One of the guidelines from Bill [Lawrence] and me was that they should not be children. Of course, they’re goofy guys, but when it gets serious, they are up to date and behave like adults, whether it’s dealing with their children, with broken relationships, or – most importantly – with the emergencies of the patients and the training of these young interns; all of that is portrayed very realistically.
As Season 2 of One Piece is just launching on Netflix, the filming took place several months ago. The cast of the Straw Hat crew now reveals that they have stolen valuable props from the set. It turns out that it is not Nami who is the thieving magpie, but another member of the pirate crew.
What has been stolen? The 5 main cast members have stretched their fingers in varying degrees. They were asked in an interview with Brut. what they had taken from the set. Interestingly, Nami is not acting according to her role as the thieving magpie; it is actually another actor:
In Season 1, the actor of Luffy (Iñaki Godoi) stole his own wanted poster. However, he is said to have lost it by now.
The performer of Sanji, Taz Skylar, let quite a bit slip away. Already in Season 1, he stole the complete suit of the ship’s cook. In addition, there is the lighter that Sanji carries as a smoker and his ring.
Mackenyu (Zoro) apparently couldn’t keep his fingers to himself when it came to a small snail. It is now sitting on his desk at home.
Emily Rudd, the actress playing Nami, also found the small snails so cute that she took one with her. They simply captivated Rudd.
According to his own statements, Jacob Gibson has not taken anything from the set – but we know how Lysop is! He would have loved to take the entire landscape home in his pocket.

The thieving streak of Taz Skylar also impresses Iñaki Godoi. He finds it impressive that Skylar took the complete suit home. The stolen ring is currently said to be worn by his father.
Normally, Nami is known as the thief of the Straw Hat crew. However, she was relatively restrained, considering the stolen items from Sanji’s actor.

Stealing from the set is not uncommon
Are there more heists planned? Skylar also asked Godoi if he hadn’t at least taken a straw hat. The actor of Luffy is said to have been afraid to steal a hat just like that. The actor of Sanji rightly points out that he could simply have asked for a hat.
Thereafter, Luffy remained true to himself and considered possibly taking a hat as a small trophy by the end of the Netflix series.
Are there really no consequences? Legally speaking, this is theft, but it is a widespread tradition among actors to take items from the set. Ryan Reynolds, for example, stole the complete suit on the set of Deadpool (as reported on Movie Pilot).
It is also possible that the actors obtained the items legally, but pretend as if they stole them. Maybe they received the props as gifts, bought them, or simply asked if they could keep them.
Pokémon GO has received a small, unassuming update. This might help you identify rare monsters faster.
If you catch many monsters in Pokémon GO, you will eventually reach a point where your Pokémon box is full. If this is the case, you will inevitably need to sort out your box and send some monsters to the professor.
A new update that has just been released can help you with this and ensure that you can identify Pokémon you want to keep or trade faster.

Small Icons, Big Help
What kind of update is this? In the Pokémon box, you will see at a glance, via icons, which monsters are Shiny or Lucky Pokémon. You do not have to click on the monsters first.
The update has added 2 additional variants to these icons. These now indicate whether a monster has a special background and if it has a special background that was present at one of the major local events.
Pokémon that have a special background now have an icon made up of 3 symbols, while monsters with special backgrounds from local events have a globe as an icon.

What is the advantage of this? This small update now helps you to see at a glance which monsters have a special background. Previously, trainers had no quick way to do this and therefore had to give the monsters an appropriate nickname to quickly identify these Pokémon in the overview.
Additionally, this change can help you quickly sort out monsters. This can be particularly useful during events like Community Day when your box is full, and you want to catch more specimens quickly without sending away monsters with special backgrounds. You can find another tip for sorting here.
Also, this can be advantageous for trading with other trainers, as you can directly recognize the corresponding monsters at a glance.
Why can’t I see the icons yet? If you do not see the icons in your game yet, check to see if you can initiate the update for the game. Otherwise, you will have to be patient for a few more days, as Niantic likes to roll out updates gradually and not all players receive them at the same time.
The current month is once again packed with various contents. This includes events, raid bosses, as well as Dynamax monsters. If you want an overview of what content is currently upcoming, feel free to check out our overview with all events in March 2026 in Pokémon GO.

Who needs a socket for their computer when you have batteries at home? This question must have crossed a tech YouTuber’s mind. In two videos, he investigates the matter.
What did the tinkerer test? In the past, the YouTuber ScuffedBits used batteries as a power supply replacement. However, he could only power his test computer for about 3 minutes in his first video from 26.02.2026.
Now, he experimented again with batteries as a power source for a PC in his video from 12.03.2026 (on YouTube). He was able to operate a computer with a 16-year-old CPU for about 30 minutes using 64 AA household batteries.
After successfully booting, the tinkerer first completed the game “A Short Hike” in a few minutes and then ran a complete Cinebench R15 benchmark, which tested the CPU’s performance.
Finally, the tech enthusiast installed Minecraft and played a full round of party games on the Hypixel server. To conserve battery, he reduced his FPS to 30 and severely limited the game’s visibility.
After over 33 minutes, the computer eventually shut down, and the YouTuber declared the experiment a success.
Can the test be recreated? The tinkerer’s attempt looks simple at first glance, but it requires various equipment in the field of electronics and computers:
Power cables for the batteries, which the YouTuber claims to have removed from a CAT5e LAN cable.
Electronic measuring instruments such as a multimeter to measure the correct voltage for the PC.
Multiple voltage regulators between the batteries and the computer to ensure the computer continuously receives 12 V, which according to ScuffedBits is necessary for smooth operation.
Soldering iron to connect all power cables, voltage regulators, batteries, and PC together
An old computer that is no longer needed and can be used for testing purposes.
Additionally, a considerable amount of technical knowledge is required for such an attempt to avoid putting oneself or others in danger. For this reason, we strongly advise against recreating the experiment!
Batteries as a power supply substitute are not without risks
How dangerous is the experiment? Besides the potential damage that may occur to the hardware, it is risky to operate electrical devices with alternative power sources:
Batteries can be damaged by heat generation and can cause a short circuit or even catch fire. This fire is not always easy to extinguish, and the fumes produced can potentially be toxic (according to WDR).
The risk of electric shock is also present. Although a single AA battery with about 1.5 V typically does not have enough voltage to seriously injure a person, the situation is different with 64 in use. It becomes dangerous, according to EMF Portal, an unlimited touch voltage of 50 volts AC or 120 volts DC.
Besides the fire and shock risk, the hardware used can also be damaged. A simple short circuit can quickly destroy the processor, the motherboard, or the installed RAM completely. Therefore, we expressly recommend not to replicate the experiment, or you might find yourself in a situation like another player: User watches as his graphics card spontaneously catches fire, loses €3,000 in 30 seconds
