Fallout 76: the best new Item in Season 22 is only for subscribers – But chemists will love it

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

The Team of Fallout 76 is constantly delivering new content for the survival game in the Appalachians. In a few days, Season 22 will kick off, and one item stands out as the best in the update.

What is this update about? Fallout 76 has released details about the upcoming Season 22 in its latest blog post. This season is called “Modern Living” and it revolves around decorating your camp. In addition to a pink kitchen set, you will also have the opportunity to earn two pets and additional accessories for your four-legged friends to keep them entertained.

The update is expected to launch on September 2nd. Besides the mentioned items from the pass, there is also one item that serves as a highlight for long-time players and fans who don’t want to part with their loot.

Chemists and pharmacists will be pleased

Which item turns out to be the highlight? It is the doctor’s bag support crate. This item functions like your ammunition box or scrap box, only it is exclusively reserved for all your chems. You can set up this bag in your camp and pack all your medical consumables inside. Storage space doesn’t matter because there is no limit for storing your drugs and stims in the doctor’s bag.

How do I get this item? Now comes the downside: You can only get the item if you are an active subscriber to Fallout 76. Overall, that amounts to €15 per month that you have to pay. The good part is that the subscription comes with many benefits, especially when you farm a lot and get overwhelmed with loot.

Previously, there was already a special box without storage limits for your materials and ammunition. Those who had chems usually carried them thanks to weight-reducing mods on armor, backpacks, and perk cards, as stim packs, their super variant, and other chems are very heavy.

With the doctor’s bag, however, you don’t have to waste perk cards for that anymore and can further optimize your build for DPS.

What happens to the bag if I don’t renew my subscription? Another annoying issue with the subscription is the availability of the storage boxes, as you lose the right to store items in them when your subscription expires or you cancel it. We therefore recommend canceling ongoing subscriptions during times when you are not playing, and only renewing your subscription when you’re ready to grind again.

This way, you don’t waste money on months when you are not gaming or grinding anyway. Are you already looking forward to the bag, or is your build already geared to carry your chems almost weightlessly?

It can evolve into Corvisquire and then into Corviknight. In its final evolution, it gains the Steel type in addition to the Flying type.

We have put together how you can best prepare for the event and make the most of it afterwards.

Additional Content for the Community Day: When you log into Pokémon GO during the event, you will receive a free, limited-time research that lasts until Saturday, September 6, 2025, at 10:00 PM. Here, you can get a Rookidee with a special background, where the shiny chance is increased, just like in the event itself.

The Perfect Preparation for the Community Day in August 2025

Organize your Pokémon Box: If you want to catch many Rookidee, you should create enough space in your Pokémon Box. This ensures that you can focus on catching the monsters during the event.

If your capacity runs low during the event, use a simple trick to quickly sort Pokémon.

Gather Enough Items: You should also think about having the right items if you want to make the most of the event.

  • Balls: No ball, no catch. Gather enough balls before the event to catch every Rookidee.
  • Sananabeeren: With the help of a Sananaberry, you can obtain four times the amount of candy for a single catch, thanks to the bonus in the event. Silver Sananaberries even give you one additional candy.
  • Lure Module and Incense: Both items last for 3 hours when activated during the event. They ensure that you encounter even more monsters.

What Mega Pokémon are Worth it for the Event? If you have an active Mega Evolution of the Flying type during the event, you can receive even more experience points and candy for each catch. Choose one of the following evolutions to benefit from the bonuses:

  • Mega Rayquaza
  • Mega Salamence
  • Mega Pidgeot
  • Mega Charizad Y

Immediately after the Community Day, September begins. And it doesn’t just start with a new season in Pokémon GO, bringing you some new content like monsters and Mega Evolutions, but also directly with 2 events: Pokémon GO starts September with regional monsters and a Mega Evolution

7 vs. Wild announces “the mother of all survival scenarios”; fans complain: “It can’t get more boring than this trailer”

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In a new announcement video, the creators of 7 vs. Wild presented the new fifth season. However, instead of generating hype, there is a lot of frustration from the viewers. They do not understand for whom the video was made.

What kind of video is this? In a new announcement video, the new season of 7 vs. Wild was announced. The familiar narrator of the show presented the circumstances in the Amazon rainforest in more detail. It is striking that this season is touted as particularly tough.

A graphic shows that the “jungle” is supposedly harder than the desert and tundra regions. The narrator says: “You wanted the jungle? Be careful what you wish for.” Elsewhere, it is mentioned as “one of the most dangerous regions on Earth” and a “constant danger” as well as “life-threatening risks at 30°, 90% humidity and torrential rainfalls out of nowhere”.

In the scenes, one continues to see dangerous animals and insects that are supposedly in the Amazon rainforest. The scenario is said to be “the mother of all survival scenarios”, but the fans are expressing dissatisfaction. They were hoping not only for a different video but also for a different scenario.

A lot of frustration in the comments

What do the fans say about the announcement? The fans are showing an overwhelmingly negative reaction to the video on YouTube. On one hand, they criticize that compared to the trailers that announced the new seasons in the past years, this time a rather drawn-out explanatory video was produced.

The viewers are particularly missing excitement and the familiar music of 7 vs. Wild. Only the familiar voice stands out positively for many. The viewers write on YouTube:

  • Zitsuj: “In the previous announcement videos / trailers, I really got goosebumps and a feeling of joy inside; it could be because of the backstory and partly due to the hate, but here you feel absolutely no vibe or passion. It feels very loveless, and I think it’s not a good sign when you can already tell at the announcement that there’s a TV production behind it.”
  • nils-kriedner: “But one has to say clearly: There is hope – because it can’t be more boring than this trailer.”
  • Max-Tex95: “Difficult, indeed. I actually want to give it a chance, but the trailer and the selection of candidates currently give me more of a jungle camp vibe…”
  • VanyCus: “I really want to give it a chance…. But the ‘announcement video’ does nothing for me. No excitement. Wildly strung together short clips in varying qualities, with no informative content, cannot trigger hype.”

What would the fans have preferred? Even without Fritz Meinecke, many fans would have hoped for a different approach to the fifth season of 7 vs. Wild. Some have been calling for years for an elite season, where professionals rather than influencers are put through the tough test to see how they really cope.

On Reddit, viewer G0rid wishes for a back-to-the-roots season with 7 friends showcasing their bushcrafting skills. However, what most fans would like is a proper trailer instead of the announcement video, as in previous years.

That the makers of 7 vs. Wild did not announce Season 5 with a proper trailer disturbs many fans immensely. The fact that the show cannot simply continue without Fritz Meinecke is also shown by a recent cancellation: 7 vs. Wild wanted to fill entire halls even without Fritz Meinecke, now the organizers are backtracking

WoW Classic needs more casuals to make the game fun again

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Casuals are often seen as the death of an MMORPG. But in WoW Classic it becomes clear: Without casuals, the game is not complete.

World of Warcraft is the best MMORPG that has ever existed – at least that’s what a lot of WoW fans would claim. But whether they mean the current WoW, that is “Retail”, or the old “Classic” variant – there is disagreement about that.

But no matter how much one likes Classic, most have come to realize: It’s not quite like it used to be. This is not only due to the small changes in the game but also to the community. Because it has changed drastically.

A fan sees only one solution: WoW Classic needs to attract more casuals again if it wants to be good again.

A new expansion is coming soon in modern WoW:

Start video
WoW Midnight – The opening cinematic of the new addon shows the attack on Silvermoon

What’s going on with WoW Classic? Those trying to find their way into WoW Classic as newcomers might have a hard time. Because without friends to guide them and if they don’t want to spend hours watching guides or videos, getting started is difficult. Most players are veterans who have been playing the game for 20 years. Patience is often low, and the entry is tough. Glittering-Beat3831 criticizes exactly this in his post in the WoW Classic Subreddit:

I believe that what made WoW so special was the fact that everyone was new and just experimenting a little. People simply enjoyed doing what they wanted to do and playing the game the way they wanted to play it. Most people were just casual and friendly.

However, according to his view, it is no longer like it used to be. The player base has changed, and so has how WoW is played:

Nowadays, there is gatekeeping in the game from sweaty try-hard players competing for the best parses and only doing Min/Maxing. There is nothing wrong with playing the game that way, but it’s just a shame that this is now the majority of the player base.

Dad guilds and leveling guilds do exist, but most of them are practically dead.

This behavior, he argues, leads to newcomers having neither a chance nor wanting to spend much time in the game:

I have the impression that when new people come to the game, they are immediately turned off by all the try-hards who take the game too seriously or treat it like an eSport, and then newcomers say: “Yeah, this is not for me, I have a life” and then they disappear. If I were new, I wouldn’t want to play either.

We need the majority of players to be casuals again so that the game can be magical again. Now it’s just a cesspool of negativity with miserable players who aren’t even playing to have fun.

von Cedric Holmeier

Community agrees, but sees other problems

Even though many agree with the original post, there are also some comments that consider a few other factors. Because the development in WoW Classic is simply normal, as times have changed. It was different back then because there was always a stream of new players. Hiroba writes:

I believe people often forget that the popularity of WoW was a big reason why old content felt alive for so long, even in the first expansions. There were thousands of new players back then who were just starting and leveling from 1 to 60.

Unlike today, when nearly everyone playing Classic is a long-term veteran of the game and has experienced everything multiple times.

The consensus seems to be that the “good old days” will simply never come back. But if one wants to bring back a bit of the old magic in classic Azeroth, then they need to try to give newcomers more space and maybe pay a little less attention to complete optimization. But that’s not so easy once one has started.
But maybe some fans just need to come out of their wrong phase of their WoW life …

Twitch streamers fulfill their role model function, suddenly showing more reckless behavior in the next project

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

The community praised various German Twitch streamers for their exemplary behavior on e-scooters, but now they seem to be more reckless on their new so-called “retirement tour.” As a result, they are facing criticism from the community.

Where did the Twitch streamers show exemplary behavior? During their e-scooter tour, participating Twitch streamers Max “Trymacs” Stemmler, Max Schradin, Paul “Krokoboss,” and Nici Stemmler wore helmets. Although it is not mandatory to wear a helmet when riding e-scooters, it is recommended.

The Twitch streamers used their influence during the tour to set a good example with their helmets, even though they were criticized by a passerby for it.

However, the behavior during their current tour, the “retirement tour,” is completely different.

Start video
These are the 5 most relevant German streamers on Twitch in 2024, according to Google

“Exaggerating so hard”

Twitch streamers are more reckless in their current project: Since August 28, 2025, many well-known Twitch streamers such as Trymacs, MontanaBlack, and Zarbex have been participating. There are a total of 10 participants. There will be other guests involved on and off. The whole event is organized by Max Schradin.

With mobility scooters, the Twitch streamers take on the role of seniors and plan to be on the road for 4 days. In between, there are also various challenges.

But only a few hours after the Twitch streamers set off on their electric mobility scooters for seniors, criticism is already pouring in. Many of the participants seem to be exaggerating a bit. At least that is the opinion among voices in a post on Reddit regarding the issue:

  • The posting user CIoudinee writes: “I checked out Schradin’s retirement tour today. They’re going so wild that it breaks. Trymacs and a few others are exaggerating so hard. They constantly overtake on bike lanes and ride side by side on bike and pedestrian paths.”
  • sejoki_ wonders: “That Schradin is the voice of reason is something I did not have on my bingo card.”
  • Broad_Chain3247 states: “It’s infuriating.”

Sascha Hellinger, for example, drives into a ditch because he intentionally veers off the sidewalk. You can watch the clip here on YouTube:

In another clip (viewable on YouTube), the Twitch streamers attempt to shove each other, creating the potential for an accident.

The user pinoyhb additionally states on Reddit that he did not expect anything different in this configuration of influencers. The community is chaotic and would find such behavior acceptable. At least Max Schradin stands up for the others and plays the voice of reason.

How the retirement tour develops and whether there will be further accidents remains to be seen.

The author of Jujutsu Kaisen is working on a new manga that surpasses its predecessor in one aspect

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Gege Akutami finished his manga on Jujutsu Kaisen about a year ago. While the anime is still in full swing, the mangaka is already dedicating himself to his next project. And it seems to be even more promising.

What kind of manga will this be? As reported by the X accounts Shonen Jump News and Manga Mogura RE, a new manga by Gege Akutami, the mangaka of Jujutsu Kaisen, is set to launch in the 41st issue of the “Weekly Shonen Jump” magazine.

The manga is titled Mimojuro and will include a story that is supposed to run shorter than other works. Gege Akutami will only be responsible for the story this time, with the drawings taken over by Yuji Iwasaki. You might know the artist from Cipher Academy.

What the manga will be about is still unknown. A possible connection to Jujutsu Kaisen has not yet been confirmed or denied. All previous information is pure speculation. 

Start video
Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – Trailer for the Anime Movie

Mimojuro is ahead of Jujutsu Kaisen in one respect

What is better about Mimojuro? Since Akutami no longer has to create the story and drawings simultaneously, he can fully focus on the story of the new manga. The additional artist relieves Akutami. This is especially beneficial for him because his health condition was unfortunately rather critical recently. 

This could suggest that the story might be even more gripping than in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Moreover, Akutami is known not to be the best artist, as many fans on Reddit have already noted. His drawings are not a disaster, but they are also not the best in the manga field. In the anime, it’s different because he is not responsible for the drawings there.

Iwasaki’s work on Cipher Academy looks much better. Therefore, Mimojuro might surpass its predecessor Jujutsu Kaisen, at least in terms of the drawings and the story. 

Unfortunately, the manga is only planned as a short story. Therefore, it might be that a success as big as Jujutsu Kaisen is not in the cards. But the manga publisher Shueisha has high hopes for Mimojuro (see X). The manga will be featured on the cover of the Shueisha magazine upon its initial release.

Who thought that Elden Ring is still too easy will soon get a crushing challenge

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

The already challenging game Elden Ring will offer its players an even harder challenge this September.

What is this new challenge? For those who haven’t suffered enough in Elden Ring, starting from September 2025, there will be an opportunity to test their skills again in the Soulslike. Elden Ring will introduce a new difficulty level called “Deep of Night,” meant to provide experienced players with a new hurdle in terms of gameplay.

Perhaps you can only overcome the new difficulty with a friend:

Start video
Elden Ring Nightreign: Trailer introduces new 2-player mode

Elden Ring becomes harder

What is different about this difficulty level? In “Deep of Night,” the enemies players encounter are supposed to be stronger than usual. Moreover, players cannot determine which Nightlord they will face. Potential advantages of the Shifting-Earth locations do not provide support for the players.

However, players will not only suffer more than usual, but they can also look forward to better items and rewards. There are, for example, new Depths relics that can only be obtained in “Deep of Night.”

Weapons might have additional effects that are not present in the standard version of the game. However, not all effects are beneficial for the players; some may negatively impact gameplay.

What else can be expected? Further clear specifications from Bandai Namco on its website are not currently available. Just some cryptic hints.

It is said that the game will become harder “the deeper you go down.” Also, the “ratings based on wins or losses” will influence the “depth.”

The difficulty level is said to go up to “depth 3,” while “depths 4 and 5” are said to represent an endless battle for particularly determined players. What exactly we can imagine from that remains unclear.

Battlefield 6 shows new trailer with PC version, players believe: This will be one of the few optimized games of 2025

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Battlefield 6 has surprisingly released a new trailer. In it, the development team shows how well the shooter runs on PC. The fans of the game are excited and express positive comments.

What does the trailer show? The new video on the Battlefield YouTube channel features a mix of cinematic and gameplay scenes. The trailer promises a resolution of 4K and an unlimited frame rate. Additionally, it supports ultrawide monitors and over 600 customization options.

The prerequisite is that players must have a 4K screen and corresponding hardware. You can find the recommended system requirements here.

The scenes in the trailer are very action-packed and demonstrate how smoothly everything runs despite all the effects. In addition to the action-packed scenes, some modes are also shown, including the construction mode Battlefield Portal.

New Battlefield 6 trailer excites fans

How is the trailer received? The first reactions under the YouTube video are positive. In a comment from Nick930, it says, “Yes. Yes to all of this,” which quite well describes what other commenters are saying.

Many are excited about how good the game looks on PC. They are also pleased that the return of a game has been so well executed and could even overshadow rival Call of Duty.

Some comments even suggest that the game could become one of the best Battlefield titles of all time. User tornikedarchiashvili1774 even believes that Battlefield 6 could be one of the few games in 2025 that is well optimized for PC.

Other comments are in agreement:

  • Jeerus: “Hell Yes, it’s time to bring Battlefield back to its former glory with Battlefield 6.”
  • RaitoRTX: “Give the marketing team a raise.”
  • wilhelmhause3510: “We are so back.”

TheAshehov finds it particularly great that the trailer is a good example of announcing support for ultrawide screens and showing it directly as well. After all, the trailer is also in the appropriate format, which is a nice touch for the user.

The technology appears to be working well with the appropriate hardware in Battlefield 6. However, it remains to be seen how it will look in terms of bugs and crashes. In the beta, there was a devastating bug that will presumably be fixed in the full version of the shooter: YouTuber discovers a devastating bug in Battlefield 6, explains how you can easily avoid it

Borderlands 4: Game Pass – Is the game available for free in Microsoft’s subscription?

Is Borderlands 4 included in the Game Pass? No, the game has not been released yet, and it will not be included in the Game Pass at launch. If you want to play the game right on release on September 12, 2025, you’ll need to purchase it on your desired platform.

If you’re waiting for the Switch 2 version, you will have to wait until October 3.

If you also want to play online on consoles, you will need to subscribe to a paid service. Everything you need to know about the multiplayer of Borderlands 4 can be found here: Borderlands 4: All about Crossplay, Coop, and Splitscreen

Will Borderlands 4 come to Microsoft’s Game Pass? That is not unlikely. The predecessor, Borderlands 3, is currently included in the Game Pass. However, you should not expect that Borderlands 4 will be added to the subscription service anytime soon. It may take a few years.

If anything changes and Borderlands 4 is added to the Game Pass, we will update the information in the article.

Which monsters are particularly interesting? In September, there are a variety of Mega Raids in Pokémon GO, some of which feature strong attackers. In particular, Mega Charizard X, Mega Gardevoir, and Mega Lucario are at the top of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.

However, Blastoise, Venusaur, Latias, Latios, and Gyarados can also strengthen your team in their Mega forms if you still need them.

In the raid hours with Origin Dialga and Origin Palkia, you can also obtain the two monsters, with a bit of luck, with their adventure effects. These two monsters are also strong attackers.

September not only starts in Pokémon GO with new events and raids but also with a new season. You can expect new monsters in their regular forms as well as new Mega evolutions: Pokémon GO stories of transformation: What to expect in the new season

A new role-playing game by the makers of The Witcher completely changes how time works in video games and makes it an important feature

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 4 minutes

Games with a day-night cycle often play with various mechanics depending on the time of day, sometimes even with time pressure – or the obligation to sleep. Not so with The Blood of Dawnwalker. At gamescom 2025, MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus got his first look at the new RPG and was immediately impressed by the time mechanic.

The Blood of Dawnwalker was one of the games I was most looking forward to at this gamescom. An RPG with vampires in a pseudo-historical setting filled with Dark Fantasy, created by former makers of The Witcher 3 – sounds like exactly my thing.

On Friday morning, the developers Rebel Wolves, together with publisher Bandai Namco, showed me, along with several other press visitors, how their game currently looks. In a recreated old chapel with gothic windows and chandeliers, we saw about 50 minutes of gameplay.

The premise: The plague threatens the land, and the current ruler murders anyone who is sick, even children. Vampires – referred to here as “Vrakhiri” – do not approve of this waste of life and intervene. They take over the religion and become the new rulers, with humans as… well, a food source, living under the new masters.

While we don’t see exactly how this happens, somehow we as players become vampires – or rather, part-time vampires. A Dawnwalker. And right here, the RPG introduces a mechanic that has been shamefully neglected until now.

Start video
The Blood of Dawnwalker: Cinematischer Trailer für das neue Action-RPG mit Vampiren

Think carefully about when you do something, as time affects your abilities

The main character, Coen, is part vampire, part human. This means he has vampire abilities, but only at night and with a good dose of thirst for blood. In return, he can walk in daylight without burning. And yes, this idea was already present in Blade, but it remains cool.

In gameplay, this translates to vampire powers only working at night. Here we see how Coen teleports as a swarm of bats to higher places, runs up walls, and fights with claws.

During the day, however, he relies on his sword, but can cast magic – something that vampire Coen is not allowed to do. Curses and spells open up some possibilities to gain additional information or complete quests in other ways.

How you arrive at a solution always has consequences and partially influences how NPCs react to you. Day and night are not just mechanics, but an important game element.

The Blood of Dawnwalker makes time a resource – but without real pressure

You have only 30 days in The Blood of Dawnwalker to complete the main quest. That’s how much time the developers give you to save your family. However, this does not mean you need to rush.

Time does not simply “pass”. You can roam the world as much as you want, completely without limits. The open world offers many things to discover, and you should be able to enjoy that.

Instead, days and nights are divided into time units – currently, each consists of five, as far as I have seen. A hourglass icon in the interface indicates when an action advances time.

The developers explain: Time is a resource you can and should use. It’s important to weigh whether you want to complete a quest immediately or if you can afford to wait until the next morning or evening for day or night.

A game from the creators of The Witcher and you can see that

What we have seen of the gameplay, inventory, spells, and especially the combat, strongly reminds us of The Witcher – which makes sense considering where the studio comes from. The Blood of Dawnwalker is not a spiritual successor, but it still looks similar.

Especially in battles, which are repeatedly interrupted by quick slots and a skill wheel, the Witcher feeling emerges. Nibbling on a neck as a vampire or throwing sand in the eyes of opponents as a human are indeed legitimate actions.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is set to release in 2026 for PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox; a specific date is still pending. Especially the facial animations still seem a bit rough, but the game made a good impression during the presentation.

Even though I watched the gameplay early in the morning, with severe lack of sleep, and in a dangerously dark chapel, I am still raving about it now. And if you want to convince yourself: Here are 20 minutes of gameplay of The Blood of Dawnwalker.

Player finds 50-year-old guide that tells you if your real self measures up as a hero in the world of Dungeons & Dragons

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

Heroes in Dungeons & Dragons have various talents and abilities through which they can shine: particularly strong, smart, charismatic. But how would the real people behind the characters perform? A guide shows how to find that out.

What kind of guide is this? In the Dungeons & Dragons subreddit, a Reddit user NYY15TM shared a guide titled “So you want realism in D&D?” The guide dates back to 1977, making it almost 50 years old, and was created by Brian Blume, a former game designer who also contributed to Dungeons & Dragons in his time.

The guide is for players who desire a method to translate their realistic, “natural” abilities into attribute values like in the game. This should provide an alternative to rolling for ability scores to create a character that closely resembles one’s real self.

To this end, Blume found a method for each ability (Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, and Charisma) to calculate total attribute values.

Here you can see the presentation of the role-playing game “Daggerheart,” created by Critical Role:

Start video
Critical Role stellen ihr neues, eigenes Rollenspiel vor: Daggerheart

Guide reveals bitter truths to players

How are the real attribute values calculated? Blume reveals with his document how these calculations need to be carried out:

  • Strength: To determine your strength, go to a gym and press as much weight as you can overhead. Divide the number of pounds lifted by 10. The result is your strength value.
  • Intelligence: To determine your intelligence, look at the results of your most recent IQ test and divide the result by 10. The result is your intelligence value.
  • Wisdom: To determine your wisdom, add up all the hours you spend per week playing D&D or working on your D&D campaign. Subtract the result from 20. That is your wisdom value.
  • Dexterity: To determine your dexterity, go to the track of the nearest school and run 400 meters. Subtract your runtime (in seconds) from 80. That is your dexterity value.
  • Constitution: To determine your constitution, try to determine the number of consecutive months in which you did not have to call in sick to school or work. That is your constitution value.
  • Charisma: To determine your charisma, count all the times you have been seen on television or in the newspaper. Multiply the result by 2. That is your charisma value.

Here you can see the original document of the guide as it was shared on Reddit:

What does the community say about this guide? The community jumped on the new opportunity for attribute calculation but notes that the results can quickly go to extremes—and can sometimes be quite nasty:

  • Ribky writes: “With the wisdom calculation, he really hit a home run.” (via Reddit)
  • Sushi-DM notes: “Americans must really have high constitution values because they can’t afford to miss work.” (via Reddit) AnotherBookWyrm adds that “an attribute value of 40 would be in the realm of divine power, meaning the average American citizen would be a deity” (via Reddit)
  • Colinleep finds: “Charisma should be completely redefined with social media.” (via Reddit)
  • dougc84 notes: “I didn’t even know I could have a dexterity and constitution of 0” (via Reddit)

Those who follow this calculation method by Brian Blume during character creation might end up with a character quite different from what they would normally play. But who knows, maybe some of you could become powerful heroes in the world of Dungeons & Dragons, even with your real attribute values. However, that won’t stop your Game Master from making you feel insecure: Game Masters reveal their dark secrets, sharing the best ways to unsettle their players in Dungeons & Dragons

Actually, many veterans of Helldivers 2 wanted to see the newcomers from Xbox lying in the dirt, but exactly the opposite happened

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The players of Helldivers 2 have actually sworn to initially confront the new players from Xbox with harsh reality and show them how the game really is. However, as the first reports indicate, the steel warriors actually have a warm heart.

What was the plan? Originally, the veterans of Helldivers 2 wanted to show their new recruits from Xbox how the galactic war really is. The recruits were to lie in the dirt and fundamentally understand what Helldivers 2 is truly about.

However, the first experiences of the new Xbox Divers show that behind the thick armors, there are warm hearts of the soldiers.

Here you can see how the new Helldivers are welcomed:

Start video

Veterans help the recruits

How did it go in reality? A new report shows that the veterans do not just want to let the new recruits do it, but want to help them stand on their own feet.

Thus, Reddit user DrifterzProdigy reports on his first steps as a recruit. After the tutorial, he set off for the first mission. His only equipment was a machine gun and a SOS beacon. Both support deliveries were requested by the player.

The SOS beacon acts in Helldivers 2 as an invitation for other players to join the mission. Thus, along with the machine gun, 2 high-level players landed in the recruit’s round. Instead of treating him poorly, they actually provided him with all kinds of weapons, gadgets, and even called him a mech suit. Additionally, they were said to have written: “Welcome, brother, give this a try.”

Instead of leaving him after the round, he tells that the veterans took 3 hours to explain the entire game to him and help wherever necessary. The user describes the experience as follows:

Given how toxic online gaming can be today, this release was like a breath of fresh air, and the interaction with the community was absolutely wonderful. I knew I was in a good community when I accidentally pressed a button on another player’s backpack and he just hugged me and typed “Hold me tight, brother” while we shone in radiant liberating luminescence.

DrifterzProdigy on Reddit

What do the other players think? Both other veterans and recruits have had similar experiences. On Reddit, they report about it and also explain why everyone is in such a positive mood:

  • URZthane: “Welcome to the community! You are no longer a recruit, but a Helldiver, just like all of us!”
  • Worldly-Inevitable82: “You may have waited long to play this game with us, but we have also waited a long time to play with you.”
  • FlyRobot: “I had great interactions with newbies and veterans yesterday. Playing against a common enemy is much more fun than against each other!”
  • sixstringronin: “I think the community is formed because it’s a cooperative PvE game. There’s no competition, it’s just about your Helldiver comrades surviving. I really wished this had also been established in Halo.”

Activating AMD FSR 4.0 – It’s as simple as that in 5 steps

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

FSR is AMD’s alternative to Nvidia’s DLSS. However, you have to enable FSR 4.0 in the settings to use the feature. MeinMMO explains how to do it and demonstrates it using Cyberpunk 2077 and Marvel: Rivals.

FidelityFX Super Resolution, short FSR, is AMD’s alternative to Nvidia’s DLSS technology. With FSR 3.0, significant progress was already made, but FSR 4.0 is even better. Nowadays, a variety of games support FSR 4.0, a complete list of games that support FSR 4.0 can be found directly on MeinMMO.

However, those who want to use FSR 4.0 need not only a specific graphics card but must also activate the function in their system. MeinMMO explains how to do it and what you need to consider.

If you do not activate FSR 4.0, the function will not be available in many games. In Cyberpunk 2077, for example, the option for FSR 4.0 is not even displayed as long as you do not activate the function.

Start video
Battlemage: Check out Intel’s new graphics cards in the video

FSR 4.0: Requirements and activate for supported games

These are the requirements for FSR 4.0: Those who want to use FSR 4.0 definitely need a graphics card from the RX 9000 series. Currently, those are the RX 9070 (XT) and the RX 9060 (XT). More graphics cards are expected to follow, and FSR 4.0 is officially not compatible with older graphics cards.

Depending on the game, you should definitely have the latest software version from AMD installed. You can get the latest version directly from AMD.

This is how you activate FSR 4.0:

  1. First, open your AMD software (Adrenalin Edition). The quickest way is from the taskbar below.
  2. Next, switch from the “Home” tab at the top to the “Gaming” tab.
  3. In the “Gaming” section, switch to the “Graphics” tab.
  4. Scroll down a bit until you see the graphics card options. Here you will find the option “FidelityFX Super Resolution 4.” This is the long name for FSR.
  5. Change the menu option from “disabled” to “enabled.” You will receive a notification that your software automatically makes a few settings.

You will now receive a series of notifications from the software at the bottom of the taskbar, showing you that automatic settings are being made in certain games to enable FSR 4.0.

Enable FSR 4 AMD Software 01
For FidelityFX Super Resolution 4, you need to switch the toggle to “Enabled”.

Activate AMD FSR 4.0 in Cyberpunk 2077 and Marvel: Rivals

Activating FSR 4.0 in the game: Once you have activated the feature via the general AMD software, you can then use FSR 4.0 in many games.

We will exemplify this possibility using Cyberpunk 2077 and Marvel: Rivals. In both games, you must activate the corresponding option in the game settings. You can see the settings in the following two images:

Marvel Rivals FSR activate with arrow
This is how you activate FSR 4.0 in Marvel: Rivals.
Cyberpunk 2077 FSR 4 activate with arrow
This is how you activate FSR 4.0 in Cyberpunk 2077.

If you use the new performance overlay from Steam, there will be a small FSR or an FG (for Frame Generation) behind the FPS display.

Important: As long as you do not consciously activate the FSR 4.0 function in the AMD software, the setting will usually not appear in the game! FSR 4.0 will also not appear if you do not have the compatible graphics card or cannot select it.

Destiny: Rising is now here – The main information in 3 minutes

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

Destiny: Rising is the mobile game for fans of the loot shooter. Developed by NetEase, it brings you into an alternative timeline of the franchise, featuring new features, weapons, and stories. What you should know about the shooter is covered here in our brief overview.

What is Destiny: Rising? Destiny: Rising is an alternative version of Destiny that takes place before the story events of Destiny 1 and 2. The game is developed by NetEase, who are known for mobile games like Diablo: Immortal and the hero shooter Marvel Rivals.

In collaboration with Bungie, this alternative project has now been created to also give mobile gamers the chance to dive into the world of the Guardians.

Start video
Destiny: Rising shows first gameplay in the trailer

What you need to know about Destiny: Rising

When can I play Destiny: Rising? The European server was opened at 9 AM German time on August 28, 2025. So you can start playing already.

How much does Destiny Rising cost? The game is free and can be downloaded from the App Store or the Google Play Store.

How is Destiny: Rising financed? Destiny: Rising relies on gacha mechanics for monetization. It offers boxes with random items, characters, and resources for purchase.

If you are lucky, you may get what you want from the boxes for little money. If you are unlucky, you may spend a lot of money without getting your desired item – gacha is often referred to as a kind of gambling.

However, the good thing about Destiny: Rising is that using the gacha system is entirely optional. You can also be a successful free-to-play player in the game.

von Dariusz Müller

Can I play Destiny: Rising on console or PC? So far, there are no plans to port Destiny: Rising to PC or console. However, there remains a chance, as updates and graphical adjustments through Bungie’s experience could enhance the game and make it more attractive for other platforms.

What significant differences exist compared to Destiny 2? If you come from Destiny 2, you are probably interested in the major differences compared to the Bungie game. You can expect the following:

  • Relies on gacha mechanics to acquire heroes and items
  • Is a mobile game that can be played with a controller
  • You can customize your Guardian’s face, but Rising focuses more on well-known Guardians from the franchise that you can select as playable heroes
  • Has a better and larger Gambit
  • You can engage in clan housing
  • There is a card game in the game
  • The Sparrow Race League (SRL) will be featured in Rising
  • Activities cost energy – when this is depleted, you receive weaker loot

This was a brief overview of what to expect in Destiny: Rising. Will you download and play the game, or would you rather pass? In the meantime, Destiny 2 has received its new expansion, which has been well-received by many fans: Many players complain about the new expansion of Destiny 2, but one Guardian still has fun and receives much support from the community

YouTuber sees a much bigger problem in the drama around Papaplatte that costs many creators real money

Johanna Johanna Reading time 3 minutes

YouTuber Timon “Klengan” talks in his new video about the Twitch streamer Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller and his former editor. However, he sees the problem elsewhere, namely with the reactions themselves.

This is the background about Papaplatte: In August 2025, former editor Paul “Pamabu” spoke up on YouTube. He had built and managed Papaplatte’s reaction channel “Lattensepp” for 2 years, but found his payment and the treatment unfair.

When Papaplatte did not have a reaction channel yet, Pamabu took the stream recordings, edited out the reactions, and uploaded them on the newly created YouTube channel Lattensepp. Initially without Papaplatte’s consent.

Papaplatte stated in his comment on the situation that the reactions are his own content and that Pamabu had profited from them for a while. This is a topic that was overlooked in the broader discussion around the payment of editors.

In his new video on YouTube, Klengan talked about this very topic and noted what a significant problem this is in the Twitch and YouTube bubble.

Start video
These are the 5 most relevant German streamers on Twitch in 2024, according to Google

Reactions bring imbalance to YouTube and Twitch

What is the problem? Watching YouTube videos in your Twitch stream, i.e. “reacting”, is widely spread in the Twitch bubble. Twitch streamers have their own reaction channels on YouTube that generate incredibly high sums of money.

Producing reactions is seen as a kind of “money cheat”. Twitch streamer MontanaBlack can record the highest monthly earnings from the two reaction YouTube channels. The problem: While the reacting content creators fill their pockets financially, there is not much left for the creators of the videos, both in terms of money and clicks.

Klengan illustrates this with his own videos that were reacted to by Twitch streamers. For example, his YouTube video gets about 160,000 clicks, while a reaction from MontanaBlack on it gets around 540,000 views.

In one video, YouTuber Klengan is ahead of the reaction from Trymacs (Screenshot: YouTube)

Thus, reactions and original videos are in imbalance. Producing original videos is labor-intensive, not only in terms of effort – writing and shooting scripts – but also often in terms of payment. If a video is to be well-edited, an editor needs to be hired.

Reactions, on the other hand, have low effort: A video is watched, paused, commented on, snippets are edited and uploaded. Of course, there are also reactions that have a significantly higher effort, depending on further input provided. However, it often involves an opinion that is expressed by the Twitch streamers about the video and its topic.

What is the solution? As a proposed solution, Klengan shows a method that YouTuber RobBubble has already suggested: A system that splits the earnings of a reaction 50:50 between the creator and the reacting person.

Klengan emphasizes that YouTube’s current copyright system is indeed capable of recognizing when a video is played in a reaction and that the creator is notified as well. A change in this issue seems urgently necessary.

What exactly happened with Papaplatte? In his video, Pamabu accused the Twitch streamer mainly of changing payments. Initially, he was to be paid 25% of the channel’s income, which Papaplatte eventually found too much, so he started paying him a fixed salary in the future.

During their collaboration, Pamabu’s concerns were repeatedly ignored, and the collaboration eventually ended. Papaplatte spoke out in a reaction video on his YouTube channel, but the tone did not resonate with the community at all. The Twitch streamer reflected, acknowledged his misconduct, and then apologized.

The head of Final Fantasy XIV says he is open to mods – But when boundaries are crossed, there must be consequences

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 3 minutes

Recently, one of the most popular mods for Final Fantasy XIV was shut down by the developer itself. Now Naoki Yoshida, the Director and Producer of the MMORPG, speaks out: As a PC gamer, he is open to mods, but there are limits.

What exactly upset the community? On August 22, the mod Mare Synchronos was shut down. This mod allowed users to share mods across clients with other players. Player A could, for example, see individual mods from Player B.

The developer received a legal request a few days before the shutdown and decided to take this step. This led to an outcry on social media and a review bombing of the Steam version of Final Fantasy XIV, as many players hold Square Enix responsible for shutting down their favorite mod.

On August 26, YouTuber Xenosys Vex released an interview with the Mare developer. In it, he stated that his biggest issue was the moderation of the content shared by the over 270,000 registered users. This also included illegal sexual acts.

On August 28, 2025, Naoki Yoshida spoke out and wrote in a post on the Lodestone about his own views on mods. He also explains when Square Enix must shut down mods for what reasons.

Even the boss actually thinks mods are quite good, but…

What does Naoki Yoshida himself think about mods? Yoshi-P’s statement begins with him identifying as a long-time PC gamer. He is also open to modding itself: For over twenty years, I have seen how mods can expand the fun of the game and positively influence the gaming experience.

It is important to him that certain limits are not crossed. These include that mods should only be used for personal use and at individual responsibility. In addition, mods should not harm the respective game and its services or undermine the game design.

… when limits are crossed, Square Enix must act

Why is it not good for other players to see other players’ mods? The statement does not specifically address Mare Synchronos. However, Yoshida gives three examples that fit the application of Mare very well:

  • If a player mods difficult-to-obtain armor for their own character, that is okay as long as this armor is only visible to that one player. However, once other players can see it, it can diminish the achievement of having actually earned that armor for those who have achieved that.
  • Of course, it is also possible to mod paid shop items, which could encourage others to also mod instead of spending money.
  • Additionally, such a mod could be used to depict player characters and NPCs naked. As long as only the mod user can see this, it falls under their personal responsibility. However, if screenshots or videos are made of this and posted online, it could have serious legal consequences for Final Fantasy XIV as a game in some countries.

For example, regarding in-game shop armor, Naoki Yoshida also mentions that he is aware of player criticism that more money is flowing to Square Enix through the shop. However, this revenue is important to maintain the services of Final Fantasy XIV. He cites increasing server, energy, and property costs, among other things.

Regarding the third example, he also goes into detail that the guidelines for game content are becoming increasingly strict to protect minors. Final Fantasy XIV is required to comply with the laws of all countries in which the game is offered. Failure to comply could also lead to the cessation of the game.

In conclusion, Yoshida states that he is aware that the most mods were created with good intentions. He also does not criticize mod developers and users. The team will continue to do their best to provide a positive gaming experience.

Naoki Yoshida’s statement reinforces the suspicion that the request to the Mare developer actually came directly from Square Enix. At the same time, it also suggests that the team will continue to turn a blind eye to mods as long as the limits set by Yoshi-P are not crossed – even though, of course, mods and third-party tools are still prohibited under the Terms of Service. In the same statement, he also gave cryptic hints about things that will happen after the upcoming Japanese Fan Festival: The boss of Final Fantasy XIV gives a hint about the start time of the upcoming expansion

The best planet for farming in Helldivers 2 is back, bringing you a currency that everyone needs in large amounts

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

A planet in Helldivers 2 allows you to earn the latest weapons in the game in a short time, instead of buying them for real money.

What kind of currency is this? In Helldivers 2, you unlock new weapons, cosmetic items, and new equipment like grenades and boosters typically through war bonds. These are mini-battle passes.

A regular war bond costs 1,000 Over-Credits. You can buy them for around €10 or farm them. Additionally, there are legendary war bonds, which cost even 1,500 Over-Credits (about €15).

So far, Helldivers 2 has a total of 15 paid war bonds. If you want to own all the weapons, grenades, boosters, and armor, you need to farm or buy a total of 15,500 Over-Credits.

The best planet for farming Over-Credits

How can you farm Over-Credits? You can find Over-Credits during a mission on planets, for example, in bunkers, Hellpods, and containers. However, they are relatively rare, and you only get about 10 credits per find, with a lot of luck you might find 100 credits.

What kind of planet is this? If you are currently fighting against the Termites (bugs), you can land on the planet “Grand Errant”. This is located at the bug front in the Farsight sector (lower part of the star map).

Grand Errant is considered by the community to be the best planet for farming Over-Credits due to its characteristics. One player explains on Reddit that with the right team and the correct processes, you can earn about 600–800 Over-Credits per hour.

Thus, you can farm a complete war bond in 1–2 hours. This saves impatient players who want to have the latest weapons as quickly as possible real money.

How should you proceed on the planet? You land in the middle of the planet. Then each member of your 4-man squad runs in a cardinal direction to the edge of the map and looks out for points of interest (POIs) where you can find the super credits.

To move faster, you can use backpack stratagems like the jump pack or the warp pack. You should open containers with explosive weapons or the antimatter rifle. Once you have checked all POIs, you complete the mission without successfully finishing it to save time. You keep all the medals and super credits found at the POIs.

If you’re new to Helldivers 2, the game can feel chaotic and overwhelming quickly. To ensure your start in the shooter goes smoothly, MeinMMO editor Dariusz Müller has put together some tips for you: 20 quick tips for Helldivers 2 to help you get started
