Diablo 4: Sundered Night – Locations for Drops

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Diablo 4 since the release of Season 11, there is the Unique “Sundered Night.” For many Paladins, it is the item for their build, but you cannot get the axe everywhere. You can find out where you can expect drops here.

Where can I expect drops? To reliably farm Sundered Night, you should summon Grigoire and defeat him. The axe is in his loot pool, of course not as a guaranteed drop, but you can obtain the weapon there with a much higher chance than from other sources.

Apart from Grigoire, you might also have luck in the following activities and locations:

  • Nightmare Dungeons
  • Legions
  • World Bosses
  • Hell torrents when opening chests
  • At the Curiosities Vendor

Now you know where you can get the item, but why exactly is the weapon so popular and is it worth farming the axe?

Start video
Diablo 4 shows new content from Season 12, the Season of Slaughter, in the trailer

Why is Sundered Night so popular? Because the axe is the “Best in Slot” Unique for the Paladin, if you want to recreate the Auradin build. This weapon enhances the aura of your various skills and increases your clear speed when you slice through enemies.

With the following bonuses, you can expect when you equip the weapon:

  • +[2 – 4] to Aura-type skills
  • +[978 – 1,053] maximum health
  • +[32.0 – 50.0] % movement speed
  • [16.2 – 17.6] % cooldown reduction
  • When you use an Aura skill, you trigger Consecration under you.
  • You gain [90 – 180] % power from Auras while you stand in the seal of Consecration.

That was all the important information about Sundered Night and where you can obtain the weapon. If you want to know which builds are among the best in Season 12, feel free to take a look at our Tier List: Diablo 4 Endgame Tier List: The best builds for all classes in Season 12

New MMORPG on Steam forgoes medieval fantasy, focuses on racing cars and assault rifles like GTA 6

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The new MMORPG Prism 2033 has just been announced on Steam and sets itself apart from the usual medieval setting with a modern metropolis like in GTA 6 – with a touch of crazy sci-fi.

What kind of game is this? Prism 2033 is a new MMORPG for PC and mobile that significantly distinguishes itself from the usual genre representatives. While there are quests and game modes like in a theme park, the combat system and movement are more reminiscent of GTA 6.

Instead of axes and bows, there are assault rifles; instead of griffins and horses, there are sports cars; and instead of castle sieges, there are interstellar fleet battles.

Prism 2033 goes a step further here and doesn’t just replace the same functions with assets from the near future, like riding horses with driving sports cars; instead, the combat system feels more like a shooter.

Here you can watch the trailer for Prism 2033:

Start video
Prism 2033 shows in the trailer how important AI NPCs are for the MMORPG

Between Superheroes and Sims

What sets the game apart? Even though Prism 2033 calls itself an MMORPG, the first gameplay looks more like a very colorful genre mix. The developers place a lot of emphasis on the AI NPCs, with whom you can not only go on dates but also have your own children.

NPCs can also be chatted with and will respond in full voice thanks to AI voices to input. The NPCs are also expected to react to gunshots, fire, or other events around them, for example, grabbing a fire extinguisher or taking cover.

Even virtual people have a life cycle. They not only pursue their hobbies, work, and lives during the day, but they also age over time.

How does the MMORPG play? While the AI NPCs are a highlight for Prism 2033, the gameplay doesn’t focus much on a classic MMORPG. Instead, you fight with assault rifles and drive back and forth in cars.

However, there are also superheroes in the MMORPG who can fight enemies with colorful abilities. Whether the developers will implement character switching like in Genshin Impact is still unclear. However, when questing, you can run from A to B like in a typical theme park MMORPG and deal with friends and foes alike.  

Particularly interesting are the announced guild battles. Here, players are supposed to team up with their guild to fight in large space battles against other players and compete in PvP.

What is the deal with the parallel universes? Prism 2033 not only takes place in the colorful metropolis where the player’s character as a detective must hold enemies accountable, but also in bizarre portal worlds. These lead to various places where there are also fantasy creatures like dragons.

This is likely to provide variety and breaks up the modern glossy setting a bit. In the initial gameplay snippets, there are already events to see, like a T-Rex that haunts the city and its inhabitants.

If Prism 2033 hadn’t described itself as an MMORPG, it would be more of a bizarre competition for GTA 6, as many MMORPG elements like leveling, loot, or character progression haven’t been visible so far. At the same time, shooter MMORPGs are rare, which might mean that the title could completely revolutionize the genre with its new approach. However, GTA 6 will face even more competition in 2026: A new gacha game looks like GTA in an anime world where I get beat up by a car

Trymacs ruins the fun of other players in LoL with a challenge on Twitch, forcing Riot to act

Nico Scheibel Nico Scheibel Reading time 2 minutes

In Twitch challenges are held regularly. Now Trymacs wants to reach one of the highest ranks, Master, in League of Legends. However, he uses a method that spoils the fun for other players.

What is going on with Trymacs’ challenge? Currently, Trymacs keeps playing LoL on his Twitch channel. Together with the LoL player and fellow Twitch streamer SnKarma, he is trying to achieve the third highest rank, Master.

Currently, Trymacs’ LoL account, xMacs, is at the rank Gold. There are still 4 ranks to go to Master. The plan seems to be to get “boosted” through his matches by SnKarma, who is a significantly better player than Gold (op.gg).

This is not the first time that Trymacs has received help from friends. In Valorant, he also got boosted to reach the second highest rank.

“Boosting” or in Trymacs’ case “Hitchhiking” is a method where a weaker player is pulled up by a better player. Riot itself rejects this method. In a Dev Update on Youtube in October 2025, the developers of LoL announced that they had already taken action against this behavior and would continue to do so.

Riot employee looks into Trymacs’ case

In the League of Legends Subreddit, the boosting of Trymacs and SnKarma was shared by a user. The Riot employee Pupulasers thanked him and wrote the following: “We will look into this, thank you for bringing it up!”

What does the community say about this? Under the Reddit post, some players have voiced their opinions. Specific-Lecture-662 writes that this behavior is one of the main reasons why LoL is becoming less enjoyable.

The Reddit user AnAncientMonk responded to another user who finds this behavior less critical and wrote: “And the rounds in Silver or Silver players, who are effectively having their game experience ruined because of this, do you not care about them?”

With this, the Reddit user refers to the smurfing of SnKarma. Smurfing describes a player who plays at lower ranks than his own. Riot already published an article in 2022 stating that smurfing is not allowed. They write that they do not endorse this practice as it destroys the game for players in lower ranks (leagueoflegends.com).

Player exploits seller’s pricing error coldly, pays less than 100 euros for 32 GB of RAM

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time < 1 minutes

RAM has become very expensive. A user got lucky and received 32 GB DDR5 for under 100 euros due to a pricing error. The seller responded surprisingly: He shipped the package without canceling it due to the error.

The magazine TomsHardware reports on a user who ordered a package from the US retailer Newegg containing a processor, motherboard, cooling, and RAM. In total, he paid 86 US dollars, which is approximately 75 euros.

Start video
Why is RAM so expensive? The current situation explained in 2 minutes

Thanks to a pricing error, the user only pays 75 euros for a hardware package with 32 GB RAM

What exactly did the user do? The person coldly exploited a pricing error from the provider. Because for certain combinations, it is possible to save a few dollars on each product. That’s not unusual at first.

However, the discount he received at the end for the combination was unusual. When he added a 32 GB RAM kit, the price for the entire package dropped to 86.98 US dollars: Normally, he would have paid nearly 1,000 US dollars at current prices.

The remaining hardware is not particularly unusual with a Ryzen 5 7600X and a Gigabyte B850M Eagle motherboard.

What happened next? Newegg fixed the error about 10 minutes later. It is unknown how many people benefited from the error.

However, it is surprising that Newegg did not cancel the user’s order and actually shipped it. Because this option certainly existed for Newegg to cancel the order, declare it invalid, and refer to the pricing error.

WoW has a Germany-exclusive mount – action fails, mounts already on eBay

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

It could be the strangest promotional campaign of World of Warcraft of all time. Because with a mount distribution, some are currently earning many hundreds of euros.

World of Warcraft is making quite an effort with advertising all over the world. In many countries, there are various promo actions with different companies – also in Germany. Here, they have partnered with Pringles and come up with a special idea. Fans must find a pillar in the real world (Ugh, I know), scan it with their phone, and then complete a quiz.

The problem: Even before the official start of the campaign, the codes are distributed and now sold at a high price.

You can get this mount much more reliably:

Start video
WoW: How to Get the Mount “Rosy Sporestrider”

What kind of action was this? Anyone wanting the mount “Thunder-Ridged Elekk” has to leave their house and stroll through the city – namely Hamburg, Bremen, Berlin, Frankfurt, Leipzig, or Munich. There, one can discover pillars with Pringles advertising and a fairly large Xal’atath. Scanning the QR code on the pillar will redirect you to a website where you need to answer 10 questions to then receive the mount.

The catch: The campaign was actually supposed to start on March 17, which is tomorrow. However, in one city, the pillar could already be discovered earlier and access to the quiz and code was available.

WoW Thunder Ridged Elekk
The Thunder-Ridged Elekk is only available for 3,000 people – many of whom will spend money.

Currently, the website pringleswow.com is no longer working, you cannot register with your own email and receive an error message.

What was the consequence? After the first people found the link, many secured the codes for their mounts. However, these codes were not redeemed but offered for sale online – for example on eBay. Here, the mounts were and are offered for prices between €100 and €500. A lucrative business and the price could even rise further if the supply indeed remains limited to 3,000 codes.

However, it is also conceivable that the mount could later appear in the WoW Trading Post – as many promotional items from the past have already ended up there.

“No one from the developer team was involved in this”

This is the community’s view: On the WoW subreddit, reactions to the entire campaign are extremely cynical and negative, especially now that the prices of the mounts have appeared on eBay:

Some comments sound accordingly grumpy and wonder how the campaign could have been planned at all:

  • I am still perplexed by how absurd this promotion was. 5 cities or so, but one starts like half a week earlier than the others. – HumbleCream
  • This promo was 100% created by someone completely detached from the game. Someone from the executive team or so. There is absolutely no chance that anyone even remotely close to the developer team would create only 3,000 codes for a physical action that lasts more than a week. – KoriJenkins
  • They might have messed it up and limited it to 3,000, but you are just stupid if you pay €150 or more for it. IT’S JUST A MOUNT. There are about 1,200 others that you can collect.– DanThePaladin

Cortyn says: Honestly, I find it hard to understand that World of Warcraft is running a promotional campaign with Pringles in the German-speaking area and offers only 3,000 codes as a potential reward – which are not bound to an account in any way, but can simply be passed on and sold. This seems extremely poorly thought out and gives the impression that they do not realize how large the World of Warcraft community is and how great the interest is in in-game rewards, especially in the form of mounts.

One can only hope that the campaign gets somehow modified in the next few days, because otherwise the “Thunder Ridged Elekk” will become one of the rarest and most expensive mounts in the history of World of Warcraft. And it is not in the possession of WoW fans, but of people who want to make real cash with it.
This could make this Elekk one of the most expensive mounts in the history of World of Warcraft.

A bounty hunter looks like a rockstar from the 80s, beat Superman so hard that he faked his own death

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 3 minutes

In the universe of DC, Superman has already faced many strong opponents. One of them will make his first appearance in a movie in 2026. Just his look is convincing, as the bounty hunter reminds one of certain bands from the 80s.

Which bounty hunter is being mentioned? It is Lobo, a character from DC Comics who made his first appearance in 1983. The bounty hunter first appeared in the series Omega Men.

The villain was created by writer Roger Slifer and artist Keith Giffen. His appearance changed slightly over time. Initially, Lobo wore a latex suit, but five years later, in 1988, he underwent some adjustments.

Since then, Lobo has been dressed in leather, black clothes, loves chains and studs as jewelry, and, thanks to his facial paint, also reminds one of a rock star from the 80s. Bands like Kiss come to mind when seeing Lobo.

Lobo DC
This is how Lobo looks in the comics (Image source: dc.com)

In 2026, the bounty hunter is set to make his first appearance in a movie. When Supergirl hits theaters in June 2026, Lobo will likely be one of her adversaries. He would be a worthy opponent who has already wiped the floor with Superman himself. The first teaser already shows what Lobo looks like in the movie.

Start video
The first cinema appearance of the villain Lobo in the teaser for “Supergirl”

Villain with overwhelming abilities

Why is Lobo so powerful? On the one hand, the bounty hunter, just like Superman, does not come from Earth, but from space. He is practically an alien from the planet Czarnia. While the latter seems quite peaceful, Lobo is completely different.

His name, which comes from Khundish, means “The one who devours your entrails and enjoys it.” The name is indeed the program, as the bounty hunter acts extremely brutally. He is the last of his kind, and he is to blame for it: Lobo killed all the inhabitants of his home planet by unleashing toxic, scorpion-like insects on them.

In addition to his brutal nature, there are a few other abilities that make him a tough opponent for the good heroes at DC. On the one hand, Lobo has the power to regenerate himself and his body in case of injuries.

This goes so far that he only needs a single drop of his blood to reconstruct his entire body. This means that an opponent like Superman could tear Lobo into as many pieces as he wants; as long as a drop of blood remains, theoretically, the villain can recover from it.

On the other hand, Lobo is physically very strong. He carries out his bounty hunter assignments with great zeal and never lets go of his target. However, the character is not free of weaknesses. Lobo is addicted to both alcohol and smoking, which likely robbed him of the needed focus in an important fight against Superman.

Lobo vs. Superman

How did the fights between the two look like? Lobo and Superman have encountered each other several times over the years and have delivered some serious blows. While the Man of Steel usually has the upper hand, it has often been a close fight.

Particularly exciting is the encounter from Adventures of Superman #464. The story from 1990 tells how Lobo and Superman meet in the Fortress of Solitude. The bounty hunter is extremely drunk, and a heated battle ensues.

During the fight, Lobo beats his opponent hard, and in the end, it looks like he might even kill Superman. The bounty hunter fires several rockets at his opponent, which seem to kill him.

In truth, Superman used a hologram of himself to fake his death. He realized that he could not defeat Lobo in a direct confrontation, so he resorted to a trick. Since Lobo was drunk, he fell for it.

Who plays Lobo in Supergirl? In the upcoming film directed by Craig Gillespie, Jason Momoa will portray the character. However, the exact role the character will play in the story is still unclear. The film’s major antagonist is supposed to be Krem of the Yellow Hills.

Whether Lobo will face off against or team up with Supergirl remains to be seen. What is certain is that any opponents of the bounty hunter will face a tough fight ahead. Are you looking forward to the character’s first cinema appearance? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Another villain even forced Batman to team up with the Joker

Gamer complains about Steam because he can’t inherit his 3,000 games – The community shows him how to do it anyway

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

On Steam, it is not allowed to transfer your account to another person, even if you specify it in your will. While this greatly bothers one player, another explains how to cleverly circumvent the rule.

Who is it about? Reddit user r4in has collected over 3,000 games and over 1,200 DLCs on Steam. Quite a lot, as he also finds. However, if something were to happen to him or if he simply wanted to pass on his collection to his children in old age, according to Steam, that is not allowed.

This is very sad for him, because in the collection are not only the many money he must have spent, but also his personal taste in games and his game saves. However, the community knows two methods of how he can pass on his games.

Here you can see how Steam stands on the matter:

Start video
A user asks Valve if he can bequeath his many games on Steam – they reply

Legal and Illegal

What methods are there? First of all, the legal version suggested by a Reddit user. Steam itself offers a feature to share games from different accounts used on one PC or in a household.

The player can easily share his 3,000 games while alive with friends or children through the Family Sharing feature. Even if he can no longer access his account, the other accounts that are part of the Steam family can use the games.

This is what Steam intends and is completely allowed. At the same time, this also means that the other members have their own game saves and cannot access those of the gamer. To enable this, only option 2 remains.

What other option is there? Another Reddit user explains the way that most will likely take, even though it is not allowed. He states that Steam does not ask who is sitting in front of the account, and as long as you do not tell Steam that the owner has passed away, you can simply continue using the account.

This is not allowed and is against Steam’s rules, but it is also the only method to see the game saves again. However, the password for the account, the 2-factor authentication, and access to the email account must be clear. Otherwise, the family has no way to unlock the account again if the user gets logged out.

You thought you were only catching monsters in Pokémon GO, but in reality, you are training a real pizza delivery man

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Many use Pokémon GO as a pastime: But Niantic has built a network behind the data that is sometimes more accurate than the normal GPS signal. A robotic delivery service is already using this network to deliver products.

For many, Pokémon GO is a nice pastime when you are already out and about. In the process, you constantly share location data and occasionally take a few photos for the app.

However, Pokémon GO is much more than “just” an app for leisure. Niantic, the company behind it, uses the data to build a network of precise location data. In the USA, they are working with a delivery service to utilize the data. Because Niantic’s data is sometimes more accurate than conventional GPS signals. This is especially true for densely built areas and cities with many skyscrapers.

Niantic Spatial can determine your location with almost centimeter-level accuracy

How does Niantic do this? Niantic Spatial has built a so-called large geodata model over the years. This model has been trained with over 30 billion images sourced from players. The special thing about it is that Niantic can determine the location of individuals with an accuracy of a few centimeters because they possess thousands of images of locations, all taken at different times of day, under varying weather conditions, and from different angles. This is explained by Brian McClendon, CTO at Niantic Spatial (via technologyreview.com):

We had over a million locations worldwide where we can precisely determine your location. We know where you are with an accuracy of a few centimeters, and most importantly, where you are looking.

In addition, there are location data indicating how accurately the phone was held, positioned, and moved at that moment.

The company has utilized this precise dataset to train a model that can accurately predict where it is based on what it sees. Even in locations outside of these millions of hotspots, where good sources for image and location data are rarer.

Delivery services use Niantic’s data because it is more accurate than GPS data

Who is using this data now? The company Coco Robotics deploys around 1,000 robots in Los Angeles, Chicago, Jersey City, Miami, and Helsinki to handle food or other deliveries. Regardless of the weather conditions.

However, the problem is that the GPS signal is often too inaccurate in city centers. Because the signal is reflected by buildings. In densely built areas or cities with many skyscrapers, this quickly becomes a problem. McClendon from Niantic states:

The urban canyon is the worst place in the world for GPS. When you look at the blue dot on your phone, you often see it drifting 50 meters, which puts you in a different block in the wrong direction on the wrong side of the street.

At this point, Niantic Spatial comes into play: Niantic Spatial provides particularly precise and accurate location data that thousands of users have previously collected using Pokémon GO. More or less, you are “responsible” for the delivery service being able to deliver its pizza on time because you shared your location and image data with Niantic.

Thanks to Pokémon GO, she was able to quickly find her husband in the store: “I felt like a genius”: Woman uses Pokémon GO to find her missing husband in the supermarket

You can destroy one of the most dangerous robots in ARC Raiders with a cheap item, but players fear a nerf

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

Players have found a way to take down a fierce opponent from ARC Raiders with just a simple action using a common item. The community shows how to do it and how not to try it.

What is this method? Players have discovered how to completely take out a Rocketeer with just a quick action. You only need a simple Wasp Driver, which can be taken from defeated Wasps that usually pose no significant challenge and appear quite frequently. Rocketeers, on the other hand, pose a critical danger level, are heavily armored, and are not easy to defeat – let alone survive.

When you throw a Wasp Driver, it stuns other Raiders, but also ARCs for a short period. A duration that is long enough to serve its purpose.

Throwing the Driver at a Rocketeer damages the engines, and the ARC crashes to the ground. If it takes additional damage from colliding with buildings or other structures during the crash, the machine is destroyed upon impact. And that, without investing a bullet in the opponent. 

Start video
ARC Raiders has an incredibly peaceful community – Even the developers are surprised

“It’s a really dumb strategy” = Embark is listening, be quiet

What should you pay special attention to with this trick? Based on numerous clips from players who have successfully tested this method – as well as less successfully, as you can see in this clip on Reddit – these important points for proper execution can be established:

  • You must throw the Driver over the Rocketeer so that there is enough time for it to stun at least 2 engines. Otherwise, the machine will not fall to the ground.
  • You have to throw the Driver at a specific angle so that it does not stun the core or the weapon first. It must be the engines.
  • If the Rocketeer collides with multiple objects during the fall and takes more damage, the likelihood of it exploding upon impact with the ground increases.
  • Have a Plan B in case your throw doesn’t go right …

Here you can see what it looks like when you do it right:

How does the community react to this trick? The community on Reddit seems eager to master the method themselves. In the comments of various threads on the topic, the strategies we mentioned above have been developed.

However, one thing concerns them: Embark Studios has likely become aware of this trick as well. Now the community is trying all sorts of things to keep the creators of ARC Raiders from nerfing the trick:

“No, the strategy is really bad, stay away from it,” writes Kosame_san, adding, “Embark is listening.”

Crimson Desert: The most important things you need to know before buying on Steam, PS5 or Xbox

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 5 minutes

Crimson Desert will be released on March 19, 2026, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series at a minimum price of 69.99 Euros. MeinMMO summarizes the most important factors that could influence your purchasing decision.

The preview version of Crimson Desert made it clear: There are some good reasons to look forward to the new open-world adventure from Pearl Abyss (Black Desert). Similarly, potential reasons can be found as well, why the action-adventure with RPG elements might ultimately disappoint you.

Besides these, mainly gameplay-related, potential strengths and weaknesses, other factors may also influence the purchase of Crimson Desert. Can you save the nearly 70 Euros because the game will be part of a subscription service from the release date? Are there hidden costs after the purchase? And how much gameplay do you get for your money?

In this article, MeinMMO answers the most important things you need to know before buying Crimson Desert. You can jump to the sections that matter to you via the table of contents:

PC, PS5, Xbox – which platform should it be?

Crimson Desert will be launched worldwide simultaneously for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, Steam (PC & Mac), Epic Games Store, Mac App Store, and GeForce NOW. For all buyers, it starts on March 19, 2026, at 11 PM our time.

Those who obtain a physical version for consoles in advance do not have an advantage, as there is a protection in place to prevent early play. A pre-download will be available on Steam as well as in the PlayStation and Microsoft stores from March 17, 2026, at 11 PM. You need an online connection for the initial setup and the download of the day-one patch, not for playing.

This is also important for choosing the platform:

WoW Nerfs Many Classes: How Your Character Changes on Wednesday

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 8 minutes

The first wave of serious buffs and nerfs in World of Warcraft Midnight is coming. Some abilities will be reduced by up to 66%.

The balance of World of Warcraft is a very delicate matter. Small changes can have big impacts on whether a class is considered “essential” or “complete trash” by the community. The fact that the balance was not quite right with the launch of Midnight is now evident from the changes Blizzard is planning.

Next Wednesday, March 18, 2026, many changes are going live for all classes, bringing numerous adjustments. There are massive buffs, but also dramatic nerfs. We have all the details for you.

Start video

Which class benefits and which loses? Looking at the patch notes, there are some clear winners and others who will take a significant hit. The main adjustments include:

  • Blood Death Knights will become significantly stronger, while Unholy will take a hit.
  • Devourer Demon Hunters will be slightly weaker, while Devastation and Vengeance will become significantly stronger.
  • Feral and Balance Druids will become much stronger. Guardian Druids will deal significantly less damage, and Restoration will heal less than before.
  • Summoners will be slightly nerfed, becoming more effective only as healers.
  • Survival and Beast Mastery Hunters will become much stronger.
  • Mages will receive adjustments that are both positive and negative.
  • Retribution Paladins will deal much more damage, receiving strong buffs.
  • Shadow Priests may seem happy at first glance, as their damage significantly increases when fighting single targets. However, Blizzard sacrifices almost all AoE damage from Shadow Priests, as Psychic Link will be reduced by 66%.
  • Warlocks will receive slight downwards corrections.
  • All Warrior specializations will deal more damage.

The Netflix series of One Piece reveals disturbing truth of a character that was cut from the anime

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

In the live-action adaptation of One Piece, some Easter eggs have been included that viewers of the anime will understand and love. However, there are also details that didn’t make it into the anime and are new even for fans of the original.

What is this truth? In season 2, the Straw Hat crew encounters the members of the Baroque Works. Each employee is paired with a partner who is named after a holiday or weekday. One of these supporting fighters is Miss Goldenweek, whose real name is Marianne.

She has been given a backstory that didn’t exist in the anime. She recounts that she brutally killed her parents because they simply annoyed her:

“Friends abandon you. Not like toys. When toys are no longer fun, you can just put them back in the box. I tried to explain this to my parents, but they didn’t understand. So I painted them and put them in a box. They made so much noise in there … at least for the first few days.”

The fact that the noise eventually stopped suggests that at some point, her parents ran out of air and strength. In the original, we learned very little about the character’s backstory. Now we know that she is rightly part of an organization full of antagonists.

Miss Goldenweek shows her brutal side

What kind of character is she? Miss Goldenweek is Mister 3’s partner and appears to be a little girl, even though she is actually a teenager. Moreover, she is depicted as a relaxed person who even holds a picnic in the middle of a battle. At first glance, she seems like a harmless girl and not a wicked agent.

That’s why it’s good that we finally learn her background. In the anime, she seemed a bit lost among all the strong and nasty agents. But now we know what her true nature is.

She has it in her: With her special powers, she can create colors, paint things, and thus change the personality of the painted objects. This allows her to control people and impose her will on them. But this is not due to a Devil Fruit.

Why wasn’t this information present in the original? The exact reason why this information was not in the anime is not known. However, it is highly likely that the mangaka of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, simply did not manage to include this information.

And probably there will be many more such details that simply had no space in the manga and anime. Therefore, it is nice to see that the Netflix series appreciates these little things and incorporates them into the episodes.

George R.R. Martin says Jaime Lannister would destroy Aragorn from Lord of the Rings in a duel, causing heated discussions among fans

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

Both in The Lord of the Rings and in Game of Thrones there are strong fighters in different disciplines. When it comes to the question of how Jaime Lannister would fare in a duel against Aragorn, George R.R. Martin knows the answer.

When comparing the strongest fighters from different universes, fans often wonder what a duel between them would look like. In the case of Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings, a fan asked how a confrontation between Jaime Lannister and Aragorn would play out.

In a panel, of which a clip can be seen on Reddit, he asked George R.R. Martin, the author of Game of Thrones, this question. The writer did not have to think long. Assuming that both characters were at the height of their abilities, Martin replied:

„I believe Jaime would probably beat Aragorn, especially if he were allowed to wear armor.”

George R.R. Martin

What sounds like a simple answer has sparked discussions within the community. Many fans do not want to let the experienced writer off the hook so easily.

George R.R. Martin has previously rejected the comparison with The Lord of the Rings and cited another work as inspiration.

Select a MMO video…

A Clear Matter for the Fans

What is the opinion of the fans? On Reddit, the clip from the panel was shared, prompting users to immediately weigh in on the comments.

The general sentiment is clear. In the post, the creator shimadon writes: “With all due respect, G.R.R. Martin, Aragorn would slice Jaime open from head to toe and see what Lannisters are made of.”

Even with armor, Jaime would have little chance, Neon_Rhino believes. Most users think that Aragorn would have the upper hand in a duel regardless of the equipment:

  • “He [Aragorn] has decades of experience against Jaime. Not to mention that he continually hones his skills,” Eonir points out on Reddit is clear.
  • “Aragorn has nearly three times the experience, superhuman abilities like strength and endurance, and is extremely skilled. Jaime loses in almost every category except for the armor,” Mister_Taco_Oz thinks in another post on Reddit.
  • “This isn’t even fair because Jaime is just a regular guy who happens to be good with a sword while Aragorn is a Dunedain in the prime of his powers with easily over 60 years of experience,” explains MadRonnie97 on Reddit.
  • “Aragorn may be considered a mortal man, but he is much more than that. Martin should hold back on his opinions about The Lord of the Rings (though I would like to believe he’s just trolling),” hopes Jolly_Philosopher13 on Reddit.

He is not alone in this. Other users also think that George R.R. Martin’s response may not have been entirely serious. The comment from Delicious_Series3869 particularly underscores this: “I never took this quote seriously. Martin is indeed a great troll, but he also has a deep respect and admiration for Tolkien (what fantasy author doesn’t?).”

Does Jaime have any other supporters? A few users do not side so clearly with Aragorn. FellowOfHorses writes on Reddit: “Theoretically, Jaime is indeed better than Aragorn, whose focus isn’t on fighting but on leadership.”

In the end, the debate is very subjective and mostly an entertaining discussion about who would be the stronger warrior. An actual encounter between the two characters in a movie or series is unfortunately very unrealistic, so the duel remains pure theory. What is your opinion? Would Aragorn defeat Jaime? Feel free to let us know in the comments. Did you already know: George R.R. Martin had a big problem with one aspect of The Lord of the Rings

Can you play Crimson Desert offline? The developers reveal the answer

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

Before the release of Crimson Desert, the developers answered some important questions from the community. They also address the question of an offline mode.

What about the offline mode of Crimson Desert? In their new FAQ post on crimsondesert.pearlabyss.com, the developers talked about the offline mode of Crimson Desert.

There they explain that while Crimson Desert has an offline mode, there is a limitation that needs to be noted.

Here you can watch the trailer for Crimson Desert:

Offline Mode with Limitations

How does the offline mode work? The offline mode of Crimson Desert is available and allows players to play offline at any time. However, upon the very first launch, Crimson Desert must be connected to the internet; otherwise, it will not work.

This may be part of the anti-piracy measures for Crimson Desert, and the developers want to ensure that the copy of the game has been legally purchased.

Even a week before the release, lucky players were able to receive physical copies of the title. But these were also locked by the developers in such a way that no early access to the title was possible. This likely confirms the necessity of the mandatory online launch at the beginning.

Additionally, the developers also plan patches and updates to fix bugs and improve performance when the title launches. An internet connection will be required for this as well.

What else have the developers answered? In their post, the developers also talked about the connection between the PC and the consoles. Even if you purchase the game on both devices, you cannot connect them, and there is therefore no cross-saving.

The save on the PC remains there, and the save on your console does too. However, it has already been confirmed that Crimson Desert allows you to play with an Xbox or DualSense controller on PC. FSR and DLSS are only supported on PC and MAC.

Pokémon GO indicates a strong Pokémon for the next Community Day that you can never catch outside

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Pokémon GO has hinted at the next Community Day. And it seems like it will be really worthwhile this time.

What kind of teaser is this? Pokémon GO has released a short video set in a cave that houses glowing diamonds. In the background, the metallic clang of hammer strikes can be heard.

This is also reflected in the title of the video, which simply shows the hammer and eye emoji. At the end of the video, the Community Day logo is shown.

The hammer is the clue upon which most theories are currently based. No other Pokémon is as closely associated with the theme of hammer as Granforgita. Therefore, players speculate: Forgita is the Pokémon for this Community Day.

Furthermore, in the first teaser for the current season, a scene with three Pokémon was shown, which was interpreted as a hint for the C-Days of the upcoming months. Hopplo was included and has already had its Community Day, while the other two were Forgita and Ferkuli.

It is clear: If it truly is a Forgita Day, that would be a date not to be missed.

Pokémon GO Granforgita
Granforgita is a strong Pokémon

How useful is Forgita in Pokémon GO

Forgita evolves into Tafforgita and then to the aforementioned Granforgita. This Pokémon brings the special combination of Steel and Fairy types, making it extremely interesting.

In Pokémon GO, Forgita has typically only been able to be caught through eggs or raids. In the wild, it could only be found during very special events. Being able to catch it so easily and in large numbers is a strong argument for the Community Day.

Additionally, it’s the perfect opportunity to catch Forgita with good stats for the PvP League. Because Granforgita is a very good Pokémon in the Super League and an even better Pokémon in the Hyper League of the game. In the PvP area, it is therefore extremely interesting.

It is also assumed that Granforgita will receive its special move during its Community Day: Giant Hammer. This could also become interesting for the monster’s strength. But we’ll have to wait and see.

5 Annoying Tricks in Dungeons and Dragons That Will Spoil Your Sessions

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 6 minutes

Dungeons & Dragons offers many rules, but there are so many of them that you can turn some tricks into real exploits. What sounds like an overwhelmingly strong strategy can be extremely annoying for the rest of your party.

Every D&D fan has their own reason for loving the role-playing game. For some, it’s the battles, for others the character-driven moments, and others just enjoy regularly meeting friends for a shared adventure.

However, there are a lot of players who are after a specific thing: becoming particularly powerful through clever tricks. 

In fact, some of these tempting concepts not only render the balance in Dungeons & Dragons completely null and void. Aside from respect for the Dungeon Master, they quickly diminish the fun for the rest of the D&D group.

In this list, we want to point out these exploits, but not to suggest them for your own use. On the contrary, these tricks are not so unknown and have already reached your Dungeon Masters. Those who start using these concepts will likely be caught quickly by the DM – or worse: you will experience the effects of these tricks firsthand when your Dungeon Master uses them against you.

The Grappler Talent to End Exciting and Thoughtful Fights Instantly

The “Grappler” talent gives players a powerful advantage over your opponents in melee combat, which is faster and more effective than actually finishing them off in battle. With an action, you can try to grab and hold a target. 

With this talent, you gain advantage and can fixate a target so that it receives the condition “grappled”: it can no longer move, becomes vulnerable to enemy attacks, and has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws.

This sounds quite strong and not game-breaking when you refer it to a horde of enemies. However, those willing to sacrifice a talent slot to become a grappler have bigger plans than just restraining some average foes. 

When dealing with a single powerful opponent, perhaps even the BBEG (“Big Bad Evil Guy”), of a campaign, this use can abruptly stop an exciting fight. A battle that your DM has planned and prepared for a long time can find a quick end with a single move. 

What might sound like a strong action for the grappling player takes away an epic fight from the rest of your table, which actually is one of the strongest moments in your campaign.

The talent should not be seen as forbidden, but rather used in the right moments. Players should simply learn to read the mood of the room before they create an anticlimactic ending with their “intense strategy” (aka. Grappling…).

This also relates to similar tricks like the Polearm Master Talent. You are welcome to enjoy the overpowering effect in your personal playthroughs in Baldur’s Gate 3, but there are more players at the table than just you.

WoW Midnight stutters, has freezes and graphic errors – Here’s how to fix it

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Multiple issues are currently hindering the fun of playing World of Warcraft: Midnight. There are crashes, stutters, and graphical issues. We show how to fix them.

The story and game world of World of Warcraft Midnight is well-received, but it does come with its share of problems. Many in the community are complaining about recurring issues. These are not game-relevant bugs, but graphical problems and stutters that spoil the whole experience. If you are suffering from these issues, we have a tip here that can easily help.

WoW: How to Get the Mount “Rosy Sporestrider”

What kinds of issues are currently appearing? Currently, there are mainly three types of errors that regularly appear among certain players. These errors include:

  1. The interface is “fragmented” and sometimes textures flicker in bright colors. The minimum doesn’t show any objects and names of NPCs or players are jumbled letters.
  2. World of Warcraft occasionally has sudden freezes that last a few seconds before the entire world is reloaded. Textures briefly appear blurry and of low quality before everything returns to normal.
  3. World of Warcraft initially runs smoothly, but over time it starts to stutter more and more, and the FPS continues to drop.

DirectX can fix two of the three errors

How to fix the errors? You can fix the first two errors relatively easily with a bit of luck. Open your options, go to the graphics settings, and change “Graphics API” from DirectX 12 back to DirectX 11, then restart the game. In most cases, the errors should then be a thing of the past, or at least occur significantly less frequently.

WoW Graphics setting DirectX
This setting can change a lot. Simply set it to DirectX 11.

The third error is more problematic and cannot be fixed as easily. It is a “memory leak” – an issue where World of Warcraft continuously consumes more of your PC’s RAM until it is completely exhausted. If WoW normally occupies about 5-7 GB of RAM, this memory leak can often increase that to 12, 15, or even 18 GB, which ultimately brings many PCs to their knees.

There is no permanent solution for this. It helps to keep the task manager open (CTRL + Alt + Del) and monitor WoW’s RAM usage. If the consumption rises too high, you need to completely close the game and then restart it.

Who is to blame for the errors? The community is actively discussing the two errors. Most see Blizzard as responsible since these errors seem to stem from a lack of optimization. It is therefore necessary for Blizzard to address this – hopefully, it will be fixed in patch 12.0.5, which is only a few weeks away. However, this also brings new content, especially for Dracthyr Callers – as a long-desired wish will be fulfilled for them.
