Soulframe is the new project from Digital Extremes, the creators of Warframe. Until now, you could only access the beta version through a waiting list or Twitch Drops. Now, everyone who registered in time will get access.
What is Soulframe? Just like Warframe, Soulframe will also be a free MMO with action-packed combat, plenty of exploration, and mystical storytelling.
This time, however, we will not get sci-fi chaos, but a medieval fantasy world that almost feels like a fairy tale.
How can I get access? If you want to play Soulframe before its official release, you have the opportunity now:
Register by no later than Monday, July 21 at 5:59 on the official website.
After this time, you will automatically receive permanent access to Soulframe.
If you register after July 21, you will end up back on the waiting list like before and will have to wait a bit until more invitations are sent out.
What if I am already registered? If you have previously registered for access to Soulframe but have not yet received a key, that’s not a problem.
Every account that has ever registered for Soulframe will receive access after the stated time.
By the way, there have already been over a million registrations for the new fantasy MMO. Nearly 800,000 are still on the waiting list and will receive access all at once after Monday. Accordingly, the developers are looking forward to this step with both excitement and considerable respect.
What do you think of Soulframe so far? Are you excited about the new MMO title, and will you secure access? Let us know in the comments! Also, MMORPG YouTuber TheLazyPeon has already been able to test the game in advance. You can find details about how he has rated the game so far here on MeinMMO: Popular YouTuber for MMORPGs plays Soulframe for the first time: ‘The game is so freaking cool’

With The Witch Queen, the “Graviton Spike” has made its entrance into Destiny 2. We will show you how to unlock the exotic cannon.
You need to do this before the exotic quest:
Make sure you have purchased the new expansion “The Witch Queen”.
Complete the campaign of The Witch Queen – depending on your pace, about 7-10 hours.
After the campaign, you can pick up the Exotic Quest “Graviton Through The Ages” at the Altar of Relativity.

How the Exotic Quest for the Graviton Spike unfolds
To obtain the Graviton Spike, you will need to complete various steps within the exotic quest. This includes collecting different weapon parts and obtaining Vex data fragments.
Your first task is:
Talk to Lodi and then with “The Emeritus”.
Next, you should obtain the first weapon part of the Graviton Spike.
Obtain the first weapon part of the Graviton Spike
Determine the location of the first weapon part using the Rosetta Device. A target will now be shown on your map.
On the way to the Rosetta Device, you need to use the new abilities (Matter Sparks and Matter Manipulator).
Just before the location, you must defeat a “Rosetta Sentry” in order to interact with the Rosetta Terminal afterwards.
Now you will find a new target location on your map where you need to go to collect the first weapon part.
At the new target location, you need to enter a building. Go on the roof of the house to reach the other side. There you can use the Matter Spark to get inside the building – you need to find 3 “Phylons” and charge them with the Matter Spark attack. Afterwards, you will receive your first weapon part in the building.
Return to the Emeritus with the first weapon part to get the next quest step.
Obtain the second weapon part of the Graviton Spike
Determine the location of the second weapon part. You will see a location again on the map where you need to go.
On the way to the terminal, use the Matter Manipulator to reach the next area, where you will then fight another Rosetta Sentry. Afterwards, you can interact with the terminal, which will reveal the location of the second weapon part.
At the location of the weapon part, you will need to use the Matter Spark and the Matter Manipulator.
With the Matter Spark, you must enter a room next door through a gap in one of the walls.
In the new room, use the Matter Manipulator on an object blocking access to the adjacent room, cross the access with the Matter Spark, and enter the room behind.
Then continue rolling as Matter Spark to a channel in the wall and follow it until you can turn right at a fork. Then you need to remove another object with the Matter Manipulator that blocks the way before you reach a new room where you will find the weapon part.
Use fast travel to return to the City of Aionir. Talk to Lodi there.
Obtain the third weapon part of the Graviton Spike and Vex data fragments
Determine the location of the third weapon part.
You will find a marker on the map again to determine the location of the third weapon part. Follow the marker. Note that you do NOT have to go through the train, but through a small portal that you cross as Matter Spark.
If you encounter a Rosetta Sentry, you know you are on the right path.
Defeat the Rosetta Sentry and activate the terminal nearby to obtain the location of the third weapon part.
Return the way you came until you reach the train. Then go through the train. Follow the marking until you find the third weapon part.
Go back and talk to the Emeritus.
Collect Vex data fragments by defeating Vex and picking up the dropped resource from the ground.
Obtain the fourth weapon part of the Graviton Spike
Once you have collected enough Vex data fragments, you need to collect the fourth weapon part, the location of which you will again determine at a terminal marked on the map.
At the new terminal, you must destroy jammers and defeat Vex to deactivate shields in order to access the terminal.
The location of the next weapon part will be shown to you in a tunnel, but before you enter the tunnel, you need to collect a Relocator Thrower.
The Relocator Thrower is located in the terminal area in a container hanging from a crane.
To open the container, you will need to use the Matter Manipulator to remove the side wall of the container. You will activate your Matter Manipulator in one of the corners of the terminal area.
Assemble the Graviton Spike. For this, you need to play and complete the activity “The Sieve” on Kepler. Note that the activity is only available at certain times.
During the activity, you need to protect a drill from various enemies. Some of these enemies must be attacked with the Matter Spark super to deactivate the shield and deal damage to them.
You will receive the Graviton Spike after successfully completing the activity from a chest that drops as a reward for your heroic deed.
South Park is considered an absolute cult and is one of the most popular satire series ever, often featuring dark humor and the claim to make fun of just about everything. In 2006, the creators allegedly went overboard and alienated one of their employees. The son says after the speaker’s death: That’s not true, his father would never have left voluntarily.
Which character is being referred to?
Jerome “Chef” McElroy is one of the few characters in South Park who acts as a sort of anchor of reason. In a world where everyone is somehow going crazy, Chef is grounded.
The kids, the stars of the show, often come to Chef when they need something or have questions – and the robust cook always helps. Even when he is… “busy”.
Chef was voiced by jazz musician Isaac Hayes. In the episode “The Return of Chef” (Season 10, Episode 1), Chef dies a very brutal and exaggerated death, even for South Park standards. The character never appears again afterward.
What was going on with South Park back then? Chef’s disappearance was associated with a major controversy and followed the airing of the controversial episode “Trapped in the Closet” (Season 9, Episode 12).
In this episode, South Park extensively mocks Scientology, a church or cult that is particularly prevalent in the USA. The core of the doctrine is that the human being is supposed to be capable of much more, but was restricted a long time ago due to traumatic experiences.
Isaac Hayes was also a follower of Scientology, and at the time his statement via The Guardian stated: “There is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry against the religious views of others begins.” Even skin color was often a reason for satirical hooks.
Especially regarding the brutal death of Chef, there was a controversy surrounding the whole situation. Many fans found it strange that Hayes would consider this point to be “too much” when the series had already crossed the line before. Hayes’ son, Isaac Hayes III, agrees and says: His father would have liked to stay.

17 years after the legendary WoW episode, we finally know who the MMORPG nerd from South Park is
“To this day he would still be on the show”
In an interview from 2016, Isaac Hayes III explained to the Hollywood Reporter that his father would never have left South Park voluntarily. He loved the show but had to stop because a stroke had taken away his ability to speak.
Chef’s voice actor was not even able to resign on his own; he had to first learn to speak, to walk, to be again. The resignation was done by some of his Scientology colleagues.
In a new interview with Cracked, Isaac Hayes III goes further into the whole matter. It states: His father loved the show, he even sang some of the raunchy songs from the show at his concerts or on the street, especially “Chocolate Salty Balls”:
My father loved Matt and Trey [the creators of the show]. He loved the character. He loved the show. He loved what it meant. He would have stayed until now. To this day he would still be on the show. That is the part that frustrates me.
I don’t think Matt and Trey knew that back then. Because even his own family, we were still allowed in that inner circle. Anyone who has a famous parent, for them, the core team – Scientology or not – can be a barrier for family and personal relationships.
To this day, his son does not know who it was that ended Chef’s career. But that led to a lot of lost income and Isaac Hayes was forced to tour again – much earlier than his health condition would have allowed. Isaac Hayes III believes that his father died in 2008, likely due to a subsequent stroke.
Since you’re on MeinMMO, you should have had some experience with gaming. Soon there will be an Anime that discusses video games and the people behind them.
What kind of Anime is this? Let’s Play is a Webtoon by Leeanne M. Krecic (Mongie), which is set to receive a similarly titled anime adaptation in October 2025. The anime was first announced at the New York Comic Con in 2023.
The story centers around young game developer Samara “Sam” Young from Los Angeles. She fulfills a dream and publishes her first indie title, Ruminate.
The reviews are positive until a well-known streamer named Marshall Law gives the game a devastating review. Subsequently, his fans bombard the indie game with negative ratings.
To make matters worse, she discovers that this hater becomes her new neighbor. Sam tries to avoid Marshall, but the two develop a complicated relationship.
As if that weren’t complex enough, Sam’s best friend Link has feelings for her. Additionally, there is a manager at her father’s workplace who shows interest in her.
The anime sounds like a small harem, but it is much more than that. The source material already shows why you should look forward to the anime.

Let’s Play: The trailer for the slice-of-life anime with love entanglements
Positive and negative aspects of gaming
What is known about the anime? The first episode of the anime was already shown at Anime Expo 2025 in Los Angeles. The director of the anime is Daiki Tomiyasu, who was responsible for Pokémon Sun & Moon. Another notable person from the anime is Kana Hanazawa, who will voice Sam. You know her as Mitsuri Kanroji from Demon Slayer, the Love Hashira.
What makes the story so special? The genre of the series and the webtoon is a mix of romance, comedy, and slice of life. It not only tells about the beautiful sides of the developer and the streamer but also about the darker sides. Marshall struggles with depression and the pressure of the public.
Even the introverted Sam has to deal with the loud world. She is a rather extroverted character who does not want to be the center of the public as a person.
Nevertheless, the anime does not lose its humor. Here and there, memes or references from gaming are included.
Is the webtoon already finished? The webtoon has been running since 2017 and published its last chapter in September 2022. Since then, the story has been on hiatus with an unknown time frame.
On Reddit, fans speculate that the author wants to switch platforms due to insufficient promotion. Since Webtoon would retain the digital distribution rights for 3 years, she would have to wait a bit longer before she can relaunch her story on another platform. The community speculates autumn 2025 as the timeframe.
If you’ve had enough of gaming but still can’t get enough of animes, there are various series for you. Some take place in nature, so you don’t have to go outside to touch grass. The recommendations from MeinMMO can be seen here: 6 Animes in Nature that Keep You Indoors

Games Workshop has introduced a ton of new products for Warhammer, which are set to expand the games in the near future. Included are: Chaos Dwarfs, which already existed in Warhammer Fantasy and are now coming with new models to Age of Sigmar. The community is absolutely excited.
This is now new:
In the Summer Preview 2025, Games Workshop introduced the Forge of Hashut, corrupted Dwarfs from Chaos, who specialize in building heavy weapons and industry.
The Dwarfs – or Duardin – come with various warriors, siege engines, bull-beasts and, what is unusual for Dwarfs, wizards. And this is exactly what sets the Chaos Dwarfs apart.
What is so special about the Dwarfs? Dwarfs cannot officially wield magic. Their only means of sorcery are runes, which they have from their gods – who were once Dwarven heroes themselves (“ancestor gods”).
The Chaos Dwarfs originated from a time when the Dwarfs spread across the Old World. They were cut off from their kin when an invasion of Chaos ravaged the world.
Without connection to their brothers and sisters and through the constant struggle against Chaos, they eventually became corrupted. Dwarfs are known for their stubbornness and just like their counterparts from Warhammer 40,000 resistant to Chaos influence, but not immune.
After losing contact with their ancestor gods, a dark entity promised them help: Hashut, a lesser Chaos God. Through this, the Chaos corruption was further enhanced, the Dwarfs have mutated into bull-centaurs and could suddenly wield magic – at a price: the magic slowly turns the spellcaster into stone.

“This will be a bad year for my wallet”
On Reddit, the Forge of Hashut is one of the absolute favorites from the Summer Preview 2025. Above all, the design is praised: Age of Sigmar already looks very cool, but the new Chaos Dwarfs have even cooler stuff than others.
Only the crazy trains are missing. Chaos Dwarfs build heavy siege engines like cannons, rocket launchers, or infernal giant metal wolves and demons forced into the machines.
Among them are trains that look like steam locomotives with spiked bull catches and mounted cannons. Exactly those are not included in the new models. However, you can see them with the Chaos Dwarfs DLC in Total War: Warhammer 3.
Nevertheless, the Forge of Hashut brings great joy. Users say that of all armies, the Chaos Dwarfs have the broadest spectrum of units. Some are sure that they will become their new army and are excited about how well one of the old armies from Warhammer Fantasy has been implemented.
The currently best CPU is the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, but one processor is supposed to be significantly faster. However, the new Threadripper Pro 9995WX is not only expensive but also too fast for many gaming PCs.
Now, a leak with a benchmark for the new AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX has surfaced. The leak allegedly showcases the raw performance of the processor. And the performance significantly exceeds that of the popular and very good Ryzen 7 9800x3D.

Threadripper Pro 9995WX delivers high performance, aimed at professional users
What kind of CPU is this? With the Threadripper Pro 9995WX, AMD intends to launch a new processor for workstation systems starting July 23, 2025. The chip has 96 CPU cores and offers 192 threads. The price is set at $11,699, listed at Geizhals.de for 12,400 Euros.
How fast is the CPU? The leak shows a CPU multicore test score of 173,452 for a CPU identified as the new flagship AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX in a post on X. This was reported by the English-language magazine PCGamesn.com.
By comparison: The Ryzen 7 9800x3D achieves a multi-core score of only 23,315 points (via cpu-monkey.com), still ahead of AMD’s previous champion, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D. We compared Ryzen 7 9800x3D and 7800X3D and explain whether the older CPU can still be worthwhile for you.
Is such a high-end CPU worth it for gamers? No, generally not. On one hand, the Threadripper 9995WX is supposed to cost up to $11,699 at launch; for that money, you could also buy a high-end gaming PC with an RTX 5090.
On the other hand, AMD itself emphasizes that the Threadripper is aimed at the professional market, especially at individuals who want to use their processor for AI and video rendering. High performance is needed here, which such a powerful processor can provide. In a gaming PC, the system might not be able to utilize the many cores at all.
A player wanted to film a bug in Dune: Awakening. Instead, he discovered a flying sandworm that definitely does not belong there.
In the video on Reddit, you can see a player traveling with his ornithopter to document a bug. However, right at the beginning, you can see something else: A floating sandworm that moves jerkily and misshapen through the sky. After a good minute, the worm disappears as suddenly as it appeared, leaving no further traces.

Ein Spieler vermisst sein 23 Jahre altes MMORPG. Weil er kein besseres findet, beschließt er, sein eigenes Spiel zu entwickeln. Jetzt hat er das Projekt samt Shop-Seite auf Steam vorgestellt.
Ragnarok Online ist ein klassisches MMORPG, das 2002 in Korea erschien und starke Popularität in Asien und Europa erreichte. Mit Ragnarok Online 2 gibt es sogar einen Nachfolger, der bei Fans aber nur verhalten bewertet worden ist (58 % positiv bei rund 3.000 Bewertungen auf Steam), dazu etliche Spin-Offs.
Ein Spieler hat Ragnarok Online früher viel gespielt, musste aber feststellen, dass er kein vergleichbares MMORPG finden konnte. In Europa sind die offiziellen Server zudem seit einige Zeit abgeschaltet, hier lässt sich das Spiel nur noch auf privaten Servern spielen. Aus diesem Grund hat er damit begonnen, sein eigenes MMORPG zu entwickeln: SpiritVale.
Das über 20 Jahre alte Spiel bekommt auch heute noch Updates mit neuen Inhalten:

SpiritVale soll ein geistiger Nachfolger von Ragnarok sein, ohne ihn ablösen zu wollen
Das sagt der Spieler: Der Spieler erklärte, dass er mit Ragnarok Online aufgewachsen sei. Jetzt stellte er sein Projekt auf Reddit vor und erklärte, dass er sein neues Spiel davon inspirieren lassen wolle:
Ich bin damit aufgewachsen, RO zu spielen und ich konnte einfach nicht die gleiche Art von Erfahrung heutzutage finden, also habe ich beschlossen, mein eigenes zu machen. Es ist noch ein langer Weg bis dahin, aber die Steam-Seite ist gerade online gegangen.
Ich erwarte nicht, dass es RO ersetzen wird, aber ich wollte etwas in diesem Geiste bauen, einfache Klassen, Theoriearbeit und Beutejagd. Derzeit sind die 5 Basisklassen implementiert. Ich würde mich über Feedback von RO-Fans freuen!
Was ist SpiritVale? SpiritVale übernimmt zentrale Grundideen und die spielerische Freiheit von Ragnarok Online, modernisiert diese aber spürbar durch ein actionreiches Kampfsystem und eine aktualisierte Ästhetik. Die Zielgruppe sind Fans von klassischen MMORPGs, die nostalgische Elemente schätzen, aber gleichzeitig Wert auf modernes Action-Gameplay legen.
Die Zielgruppe sind laut Steam-Shopseite Fans von klassischen MMORPGs, die nostalgische Elemente schätzen, aber gleichzeitig Wert auf modernes Action-Gameplay legen.
Was soll das Spiel kosten und wann kommt’s raus? Preis und Release-Datum sind noch nicht bekannt, das Spiel soll aber im Early Access erscheinen. Das Spiel soll laut Entwickler als Free-to-Play-Spiel erscheinen und der Schwerpunkt soll nicht auf der Monetarisierung liegen. Er selbst sagte in einer Antwort, es „braucht nicht viel, um die Servergebühren zu decken.“
A few datasets analyzed and an invoice for 50,000 euros received: This has now happened to a user who publicly shares their mistake. The problem also shows how quickly one can underestimate data consumption when analyzing datasets.
Our title image is a symbolic image.
What happened to the user? The user explained that they wanted to explore the public Solana dataset in BigQuery and started writing simple test SQL queries using Python and the BigQuery API. According to them, it was only about basic things like searching for transactions by hash or address.
The surprise came after several queries were conducted and after 10 days. They received a bill for 50,850 euros.
To estimate the costs, they had used ChatGPT. A costly mistake, as they explained (via Reddit.com):
I had no idea that experimenting with a public dataset could carry significant financial risks. I had researched how billing works and inquired about the expected costs, among other things, by asking ChatGPT for rough estimates. Based on this, I was confident that my consumption would be within a reasonable range (around 30-50 dollars per month).
However, it is now clear to me that I approached the billing without sufficient caution and underestimated the potential financial risks, leading to an expensive mistake.

BigQuery charges fees based on data volume, which can lead to high costs
Where do the high costs come from? BigQuery is Google’s cloud-based database and analytics platform that bills based on actual data consumption. The fees primarily arise from the scanned data volume during SQL queries. Incorrectly configured or accidentally initiated queries (e.g., over very large tables or repeated attempts) can unintentionally lead to enormous costs.
Sometimes, automated tools/scripts, testing environments, or missing cost limits are used, which can cause high load unnoticed. And that can become really expensive over time.
How did it turn out? The user contacted Google and explained their mistake. After several messages, Google significantly reduced the user’s costs. In the end, the user is still left with a bill of 5,000 euros. This is considerably less than at the beginning, yet still a high amount for the user. They say: Google wants them to pay the 5,000 euros within 10 days. Now the user hopes that they can pay the amount in installments.
First One Piece, now Naruto. Burger King is bringing a new menu to Germany. Fans are discussing what might be included in the new menu. Many hope for a similar merchandise campaign like with One Piece, which was well received by most fans.

What exactly is included? Burger King itself has not shared any further information through the video. On Reddit, there is a thread where a picture of Burger King is shared. It shows that Burger King will distribute Naruto collectible figures with the kids’ meals. Whether these or similar figures will also come to Germany is not yet known.
In a Tiktok post there is speculation about what will be included. Specifically, it mentions collectible figures, trading cards, and T-shirts. Similar items were already available in the “Burger King” menu for One Piece: for example, there was a T-shirt in the “One Piece x Burger King” design.
In the campaign in France, fans also received four decks of cards with 15 “One Piece” trading cards each in the “King Junior” meals. Fans hope on Tiktok for a similar extent of the new merchandise project.
What does the menu cost? The price is also not yet known. The One Piece menu cost 17.99 euros in December 2024. The price will likely depend on how much merchandise is included in the menu.

The next phase of the alpha of Ashes of Creation is starting soon, and the developers have already introduced the 3 new races that you will be able to play.
What is this next phase? The development of the new MMORPG Ashes of Creation is progressing steadily. Currently, the successful project is in its second alpha phase, which can be played five days a week. Two days of the week, the servers are still offline and being maintained by developers.
Starting on August 4, 2025, the third phase of the alpha for Ashes of Creation will begin. From then on, the MMORPG will be online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week like a regular live service game, as long as no new patch along with maintenance takes place.
Several big and small innovations will enter the game with this major update. Among them are three new races that you can use to customize your character.

Three New Races
What are these new races? In Ashes of Creation, the new races Py’Rai and Niküa will be added starting August 4. The third race, the Ren’Kai, is to be introduced with an update during Alpha 3.
Py’Rai: Masters of the Hidden Realm
This is what the Py’Rai are supposed to look like
The Py’Rai are a mysterious race living deep in secluded forests. They are protectors of nature and live in harmony and symbiosis with it. As a result, they can become almost invisible to outsiders. Their villages blend perfectly into nature without destroying it.
In appearance, they resemble humans but have antlers made of wood and branches with leaves protruding from their bodies.
Niküa: Children of the Dreaming Mountains
This is what the Niküa are supposed to look like
Niküa means “the dreamers” and describes the race that descends from the volcanic peaks of a tropical paradise. They are descendants of a large dwarf migration and prefer to settle in coastal mountain ranges. Over generations, they have developed into a matriarchal society of experienced divers and gold seekers who derive their wealth from riverbeds and ocean depths.
In appearance, the Niküa look very similar to typical dwarves. Their small stature is compensated by their thick muscular builds, and tattoos as well as proud beards characterize their look.
Ren’Kai: Honor Forged by Reform
This is what the Ren’Kai are supposed to look like
The Ren’Kai have a long history in the world of Ashes of Creation. Over centuries and many reform processes, the race has landed in a highly developed feudal system based on honor, duty, and mutual loyalty. They do not fight to conquer lands but to change the world according to their views.
Visually, the Ren’Kai most closely resemble orcs, exhibiting green skin, pointed ears, and prominent tusks. In contrast, their well-groomed hair and clothing show that the race has evolved beyond mere conquerors.
Four years ago, the streamer Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. was banned from Twitch and had to continue streaming on YouTube. Now he is making a comeback and is immediately successful.
Why was IShowSpeed banned from Twitch? In 2021, IShowSpeed was prohibited from streaming on Twitch indefinitely. In a video by fellow streamer Adin Ross, he went through some E-Dates. He was paired with women in video chats to get to know them.
He asked a woman, Ash Kaashh, a model, if she would have children with him if they were the last two people on Earth and could save humanity that way. His date declined, saying the children would have to sleep with each other as well.
In response, IShowSpeed shouted into the camera: “Who is stopping me? If we are the last two people on Earth, who is going to stop me?” (Source: YouTube). Twitch found these comments too much and subsequently banned the streamer permanently.
The ban forced IShowSpeed to continue streaming on YouTube. Here he was able to grow, reaching over 40 million subscribers on his YouTube channel.

For collectors: If you have not yet obtained Kwaks and its evolutions, then the event is the perfect opportunity for that. Not only can you catch the Pokémon and enough candies, but also collect the shiny variants.
For fighters: Currently, Bailonda is not among the best attackers in Pokémon GO in raids or battle leagues. With the Community Day, the Pokémon learns the strong charged move Hydro Cannon, which could make it stronger. How exactly the move will perform will only become clear with the start of the event.
The perfect preparation for the Community Day in July 2025
Clear out your Pokémon box: To fully enjoy the event, you need plenty of space in your box to catch many Pokémon. So, you should ensure in advance that you have enough capacity. If you encounter space issues during the event, use this simple trick to quickly filter out Pokémon.
Gather enough items: Besides space in the Pokémon box, you also need the right items to make the most of the event. Pay special attention to:
Balls: Gather enough balls to catch many Kwaks.
Sanana Berries: Every catch during the event gives you double the amount of candies. If you additionally use Sanana Berries, you will receive four times the amount of candies per catch. The silver Sanana Berry gives you even more candies.
Lure and incense: Both items not only bring you more Pokémon but also have an increased duration of 3 hours during the event.
Which Mega Pokémon are worth it for the event? With the right Mega Evolution of the Water type, you can gain additional experience points and candies per catch.
The following Mega Evolutions are of the Water type and are thus suitable for the bonus during the event:
Proto-Kyogre
Mega-Swalot
Mega-Blastoise
Mega-Gyarados
Mega-Lapras
Of course, there are many more events and content waiting for you in Pokémon GO this month besides the Community Day. If you want to know what they are, we have compiled the appropriate overview with all events in July 2025 in Pokémon GO for you.

In Dungeons & Dragons the dungeons that bear their name are often the focal point. A group was placed into a dungeon that nearly cost them the lives of their characters.
What kind of dungeon did the group have to enter? As user Multishock4 reported in his thread on Reddit, the Dungeon Master placed his group in a dungeon full of crazy puzzles and dangers. Their highlight was a library that was literally explosive.
For in the books were hidden 4 explosive sigils per page, each storing the spell Fireball at level 8. With nearly 1000 books of about 230 pages, this would result in a minimum damage of 23,920,000 fire damage if the group caused them to explode.
This amount of damage would have killed the whole group multiple times, and they were additionally under pressure, as it only required sounds exceeding the volume of a whisper to trigger the spells. A mere lapse in attention or a loudly spoken word from the group would have meant a sudden end to the adventure.
However, that was not the only hurdle they faced, and the ideas of the Dungeon Master received much acclaim in the comments.

What else did the group struggle with? In some comments, Multishock4 brings up additional examples that their Dungeon Master threw at them. They also encountered:
A plane made entirely of light, where they had to face a shadow ballerina.
A room full of weapons, where they had to find feather-shaped knives to use on a phoenix statue. Some of them were fakes that released harmful gas when inserted into the statue.
A battle against an ancient war god to retrieve the stolen blessings of the paladin.
A hydra that transformed into a cat when they fed it sufficiently.
How are the ideas received by the community? In the comments on the thread on Reddit, the ideas of the Dungeon Master are well-received. Many ask follow-up questions, others celebrate the ideas and consider incorporating them themselves, while others feel reminded of a similar situation from the video game Baldur’s Gate 3:
The_Suited_Lizard wonders: “Was it a real library or an attempt by a wizard to build an atomic bomb? Because, holy shit!”
DerangedDragonBorn celebrates: “I guess borrowing the books is a hell of a venture? Lmao, sounds like crazy D&D fun, fr”
InsurgentTatsumi chimes in: “It should be safe as long as you have a wizard with counter-magic.”
plontonik notes: “Sounds like your DM played BG3.”
In Baldur’s Gate 3, there is a situation where you visit a magical library where the books similarly react sensitively to loud noises. In dialogue, you have the option to stay quiet or yell at the books, which causes them to explode – though not as extensively with giant fireballs as with Multishock4’s group.
With “On the Edge of Destiny” Bungie kicks off a new saga in Destiny 2 that is meant to captivate fans for years to come. As one of the franchise’s fans who has been there since the beginning, I took a look at the expansion. Is it worth it in terms of lore, or is it just PR and hot air?
After 10 years of the Light and Darkness saga, there is a new story. We are going to Kepler, and Bungie wants to tell something new amidst all the space chaos. Since I’ve been involved in the loot shooter since 2014 and seen much of what the former Halo studio has created, I wanted to take the test and see if the new story is really something you should spend your money on.
As a long-time fan, I approached the new expansion with a lot of skepticism and even thought Bungie would fail… But I was wrong, at least partially.
Who is writing here? Christos writes about a variety of games on MeinMMO and primarily creates detailed guides. Some may also know him from his Destiny articles. His heart beats for the Vanguard since the release in 2014. It was clear that he would also check out the new expansion of the loot shooter, even if he misses the good old times with the Speaker or Cayde-6.

The launch trailer of “The Edge of Fate” showcases the new expansion of Destiny 2
My expectations for “On the Edge of Destiny” were low, as Bungie hadn’t fully convinced me with its episodes, but I must admit that the story of the new expansion pleasantly surprised me.
Much of it reminded me of the early days of Destiny 1 when you were still an unaware Guardian and could discover many new things. Everything feels casual, like a fresh reset. It was nice to start something again without that whole “The fate of humanity rests on your shoulders” feeling weighing on me.
Simply free of worries!
Perhaps the most important addition to the DLC that could carry the entire story was Lodi – a poor guy who picked up the phone at the wrong time and ended up on Kepler.
He is the one who greets us on the planet and introduces us to the Aionians, the inhabitants of Kepler. In fact, I initially couldn’t stand him. I thought he was a soulless copy of Shaw Han, the Hunter extra on the Cosmodrome, but I was wrong.
Lodi brings fresh air to the new narrative and provides variety, so you won’t get bored. His character is really well-written, which surprised me, as the last new figures in the Destiny universe, like Maya Sundaresh, didn’t convince me – Lodi is an exception and a ray of hope.
On the Edge of Destiny really represents a good start to a new saga.
However, you shouldn’t expect a bombastic story like in The Final Shape right now, because you will surely be disappointed. It’s clear that this is just the beginning of the saga. There is drama and profound themes, but the real action will probably only start in 10 years.
Sorry Maya, but your exit in the episode was unconvincing
Bungie is on the brink of its destiny
As far as the DLC is concerned, lore is currently the only thing that convinces me. Aside from that, Bungie is struggling to deliver. Right after the end of the story, a thought struck my mind: On the Edge of Destiny should not have been released with Destiny 2. The story is good, but it is in the wrong game.
Bungie should have released the new saga in a Destiny 3, with fresh new classes, menus, NPCs, and a clear reset from everything the Guardians have been through over the many dramas surrounding the Light and Darkness saga. I can’t get warm with the expansion, even though I like the story. A lot of it puts me off and leaves a bitter aftertaste.
One thing that bothers me is the change of voice actors for the Vagabond and Orin. Sure, this is related to the voice actors’ strike, but there are many familiar faces that lost their original voice since the beginning of Destiny 2 – and that simply pulls me out of the story while playing. Another point is the focus system of the vendors on the Tower. It’s nice that Guardians can now focus their loot directly, but once you have all the weapons and armor you need, they lose their significance. Why go to the Tower then? Finally, there are the new dialogues from the Aionian. Everything they say, you read in dialogue windows. This strongly reminds me of No Man’s Sky but feels to me hardly related to Destiny. I love reading, but I found that really exhausting and lifeless over time.
For me, Destiny 2 no longer feels like the passionate project that Bungie has created over the years. It feels like a lifeline that the studio uses to not sink, and I find that a shame. Bungie has already proven that they can still enchant fans – even those who have been around for years.
Perhaps there will eventually be a Destiny 3 that will address most of the issues, but the current DLC is not it.
For me, the expansion was definitely worth it because of the great story, and since Bungie wants to bring additional free and hopefully new events in the future, I will probably check in on the loot shooter from time to time.

The Twitch streamer Max “Trymacs” Stemmler tried to catch a specific type of Pokémon for over 140 hours, only to not recognize it in a real situation.
What are Shinies? In Pokémon games, in addition to the normally colored version of the pocket monsters, there exists a shiny variant of the Pokémon, known as a Shiny. The colors of this monster look different, but otherwise, the two versions are not further distinguishable.
Trymacs took on the challenge a few weeks ago to complete a run of Pokémon Soul Silver using only shiny Pokémon. However, he first had to catch them. The chance of encountering Shinies in the edition he played is 1:8,192 (according to PokéWiki), which led to Trymacs saying he goes to bed “broken” every night.
Vom Pizza-Lieferant zu einem der größten deutschen Twitch-Streamer – Leben und Karriere von Trymacs in 2 Minuten
“I think I have some kind of passive”
Trymacs does not recognize Shiny: When the three have to restart their Soul Link challenge once again, Trymacs encounters a shiny Cerapendra. This one is not purple and pink like the original, but shines red.
A Soul Link Challenge in Pokémon is a Nuzlocke variant for two players, where the caught Pokémon of both players are linked together. If one player’s Pokémon is defeated in battle, the Pokémon associated with the other player is also considered defeated and must also be removed from the team.
Trymacs enters his first battle, and an animation is triggered: Glitter particles shimmer to symbolize the Shiny. The Twitch streamer sees this and comments: “I think I have some kind of passive.” (Source: Twitch.tv).
This refers to a passive ability. However, such a thing does not exist in the Pokémon edition that the Twitch streamers are playing. Pokémon inherently have an ability that acts passively in battle, but no additional one, as Trymacs suspected here. Furthermore, abilities are not visually represented.
His Twitch chat finally points out to him that the Pokémon is a shiny one. Trymacs is very surprised: “Am I shiny!? That’s why I was glowing! That’s not a passive.” (Source: Twitch.tv).
Only then does Trymacs notice the other colors: The body of the Pokémon is bright red with turquoise accents, unlike the actual version. He assesses the Pokémon: “This is a crazier Shiny than in my Shiny run.” (Source: Twitch.tv).
Is the Shiny useful? Shiny Pokémon do not have any special advantages; they just look different. However, there is a small advantage in a Nuzlocke challenge.
There is the option to introduce the Shiny rule in his challenge run. In a Nuzlocke played solo, a Shiny Pokémon can always be kept, even if a Pokémon has already been caught in the section.
In a Soul Link run, two (or in this case three) Pokémon are linked together by the players. Here, a Shiny can be swapped and take the place of one of the Pokémon.
However, Trymacs did not really get to make use of this rule. The run had to end shortly thereafter because one of the Twitch streamers was knocked out with his Pokémon.
James Jamie Dimon has navigated his bank through all major financial crises in recent years with a single rule. Dimon attributes this to caution, not luck. For he does not let himself be driven by euphoria when the market looks good.
Jamie Dimon bought his first stock at just 14 years old, supported by his father, a stockbroker. Shortly after, the market crashed by 45%. This experience shapes his decisions to this day. He derives his most important motto or rule from it. Today, Dimon is the CEO and Chairman of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
With his rule and motto, he has made JPMorgan Chase a bank that has easily survived all major financial crises in recent years, while many competitors have failed.
Another CEO, on the other hand, ruined his company in less than a minute:

Chef ruined his company in 59 seconds on Twitch – What happened to him?
Dimon’s central motto is: “Don’t blow up”
What is this rule? Dimon’s central motto is: “Don’t blow up”, meaning: one should avoid being destroyed at all costs. For him, this means being particularly cautious and not underestimating risks, even when others become euphoric. He warns against getting swept up in the mood of the crowd, as markets can unexpectedly collapse time and again (via fortune.com).
He once explained that banks are particularly vulnerable to sudden shocks. These could then lead to a rapid collapse of the respective bank. And such a failure (“explosion” or “blow up”) cannot be undone and leads to lasting damage and a significant loss of trust.
The principle “Don’t blow up” is in focus because, for Dimon, the survival and resilience of the bank against crises are more important than short-term profits. He wants to prevent the bank from being wiped out by extreme events or management errors.
This defensive strategy has made JPMorgan Chase the only major US bank that has comparatively emerged unscathed from every crisis since 2008. Dimon explains his success in a critical examination of the financial crisis through preparation and rejection of spontaneous investments (via businessinsider.com).
