Who plays online games can also meet the Danish police on Twitch

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

In Denmark, not only gamers are streaming live on Twitch, but also the Danish police. This way, they provide insight into their professional lives and aim to create proximity between the police and the people. MeinMMO presents the Twitch channel.

What kind of channel is this? The Twitch channel PolitietsOnlinePatrulje is operated by the Danish police. They already have over 33,400 followers and had an average of 92 viewers last year (via SullyGnome).

In our video, we introduce you to the 5 most relevant Twitch streamers in the German area:

Police maintains presence on the Internet

These are the contents of the police officers: The police officers play various games every Wednesday from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Mainly, however, Counter-Strike 2, Fortnite, Minecraft, EA Sports FC 24, and Call of Duty: Warzone. The police officers play video games and simultaneously raise awareness about the dangers on the Internet and how they plan to address them.

In their channel trailer on Twitch, the police officers explain that they want to reach children and adolescents through their content where they are, and that includes Twitch.

Above all, they want to raise awareness about Internet dangers such as grooming, illegal image dissemination, and online fraud.

Other motives are the following:

  • They want to have an open dialogue with the viewers and share preventive measures.
  • The police aim to present themselves both professionally and relaxed while gaming.
  • Through their work on the Twitch channel, they want to strengthen the bond between the police and the citizens.
  • They also provide a way to report offenses on the Internet directly.

Also on YouTube and Instagram, the police officers are active. The accounts of the same name provide further insights into the work of the police. Here, too, they address the same topics as on Twitch, but without the gaming.

Before a defeat in Dune: Awakening, you should be particularly cautious, as it is deadlier than the others

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

In Dune: Awakening you can meet your end in various ways. However, you should really avoid one scenario. And not just because they can eat you.

What defeat is that? There are several ways to die in Dune: Awakening. Of course, none of them are pleasant, but one stands out in particular: death by sandworms.

The monsters roam beneath the sand and hear your footsteps as soon as you step on it. If you are too loud, they will burrow up to you and swallow you.

Here you can get a first glimpse into the new survival MMO:

Start video
Dune: Awakening presents in the new trailer the desert world of Arrakis

Sandworms swallow you along with your inventory

Why is dying by sandworms worse? If a sandworm swallows you, you must respawn, but you will have empty pockets. This is because dying by a sandworm differs in terms of your belongings.

If you die to a sandworm, all your inventory is gone and you have no way to get your items back; there is no spawn point for your remaining inventory or even a part of it. This also includes your armor, your weapons, and other equipment.

If you are killed in another scenario in a PvE fight, you drop some of your items and can retrieve them later. If you are in a fight against other players and die, you also lose items that can be looted by other players.

In these two scenarios, while you lose your items, you can still keep your equipment, even if it loses some of its durability. By the way, if you are in a vehicle and get eaten by a worm, your means of transportation is also gone.

The only thing you get from dying by a sandworm: a worm tooth, which you can use to craft a knife.

Players receive defective Nintendo Switch 2 because the dealer made a mistake on the receipt

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 2 minutes

The Switch 2 is celebrating its release day and many fans can finally hold their highly anticipated console in their hands. But for some players, the excitement was quickly dampened when they unpacked their packages. Because in the box is a broken console, and the culprit is the receipt.

What are the disappointed players reporting? On X there are numerous posts where players vent their frustrations. They have received consoles that have a damaged display – all with a very similar problem.

Because on the display of their Switch 2, each has two small holes that are still clearly visible even when the screen is on. These holes can be found on the box and the thin plastic bag in which the console is packaged for sale.

This is particularly frustrating, as the Switch 2 is sold out in many regions and cannot be reordered quickly. The consoles that report such a defect come from the United States of America and were sold there by GameStop.

You can see what is included in the Switch 2 package in our unboxing video:

Display instead of just receipt stapled

How did the holes get into the screen? Comparing the posts of the upset players, it becomes clear that these holes are exactly where GameStop stapled their receipts directly onto the original box. This box seems to be so thin that the staples went right through the box and the plastic bag into the display.

The fans are understandably upset and share their experience on social media. On one hand, because they consider GameStop’s handling of the console thoughtless, but on the other hand, they also wonder how such an expensive console can be packaged so thinly that staples can cause such damage:

  • So @AncientArgonaut writes via X: ‘I knew this would happen – it was a strange decision by Nintendo to place the screen with the front side at the top of the box and only protect it with the thin box.’
  • ‘GameStop stapled the receipt for the Switch 2 to the box for me and my friends. FML,’ posts @Oadhan via X, ‘Really crazy, now I have to wait 3 months for the replacement.’
  • Konflick writes in his now-deleted Reddit post: ‘It seems like the same thing happened to all of them with their boxes. Over 100 people were there tonight.’
@Oadhan via X.com (As of June 5, 2025, 6:00 PM)

So far, GameStop has not commented on these incidents, but it is likely that affected individuals will receive a replacement console. Although it is uncertain whether this will be possible promptly due to high demand.

Dune Awakening on Metacritic: When will the first reviews be released?

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

Dune: Awakening will soon let its fans play on the servers, but before players decide to purchase, they want to know what the critics have to say about the game on Metacritic. When you can expect the first reviews, you can find out here.

When can you expect reviews? Currently, there are no reviews on Metacritic. Neither fans nor critics were allowed to play the game beforehand. It will ultimately result in the first opinions about the MMO appearing during the Early Access on June 5 at 16:00.

However, expect some delays as players will need to test the game for a few hours before forming a well-founded opinion about it.

Opinions from the Beta: How Good is Dune Awakening?

Our MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier was allowed to play the beta of Dune Awakening and report on what the game has to offer you. For him, the game was fun. There is plenty to loot, many dangers lurking, and overall, the game feels like a relaxed MMO. Regarding the MMORPG aspect, our expert is skeptical. For hardcore PvP and PvE players, the game might not be suitable; the focus is more on collecting items, trading, and housing.

Also, IGN initially reports positively about the game. Dune Awakening is especially fun in co-op, as you can loot strategically together and fight enemies. The game also places a high value on immersion, which is why water is considered one of the most important resources. One of the things that IGN criticizes, however, are bugs and performance issues that the team needs to iron out before the release.

Lastly, TooMuchGaming also reports on their first impressions. For them, the combat system feels too repetitive. It always comes down to the same situations where ranged fighters have to face melee fighters. Additionally, the character development feels too superficial. You can level various skills, but they didn’t leave a significant impression. What they praise, however, is the base building and the start into the MMO.

The most beautiful new MMORPG 2025 is inspired by a famous horror movie, destroying the lovely Middle Ages with extraterrestrial attackers

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The new MMORPG Chrono Odyssey aims to distinguish itself from existing genre representatives. For this, the developers have drawn unusual inspiration.

What kind of game is it? Chrono Odyssey is an ambitious open-world action MMORPG by developer Chrono Studio and publisher Kakao Games, set to be released in 2025 for PC and consoles. It promises a seamless game world without loading screens, where dynamic events are meant to challenge players.

The core of the game is the “Chronotector”, a tool for time manipulation that plays a central role in both combat and navigation through the world. Visually, Chrono Odyssey stands out with a mix of dark fantasy and harmonious medieval aesthetics, aiming to create a unique yet tense atmosphere.

The action combat system is inspired by Soulslikes, emphasizing precision and the flexible use of 18 weapons divided into 6 classes. The game offers a blend of solo and group content, including dungeons and world bosses, and integrates a PvPvE system where PvP can be disabled outside certain zones. The developers also emphasize that there will be no pay-to-win elements and a global release without regional differences is planned.

Here you can watch the trailer for the game:

Start video
Chrono Odyssey: Trailer prepares you for the beta in June

SciFi horror instead of a lovely medieval setting

How does Chrono Odyssey differ? The new MMORPG draws its inspiration neither from elves nor dwarves. Instead, the developers want to destroy a peaceful medieval world with alien invaders.

The optics and setting of the MMORPG have therefore been strongly shaped by the question, “What would it look like if an alien civilization—like the one portrayed in the film Prometheus—invaded a medieval world?”, as the developers revealed in an interview with MMORPG.com.

There will be a fusion of “dark fantasy” settings with “science fiction” elements. The developers have also drawn inspiration from both Western and Eastern visual traditions to create an interesting medieval aesthetic.

The film Prometheus serves as an important source of inspiration for the unique aesthetics of Chrono Odyssey. The developers have adopted the menacing, dark atmosphere and aim to continually break the MMORPG with new influences from the film. This is evident, for example, in the types of enemies and bosses in the MMORPG.

Twitch streamer NoWay wanted to start in a LoL league at 32, but is now quitting: “It was a mistake in all areas”

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

One of the most famous German Twitch streamers in the field of League of Legends is NoWay. In 2025, he played professionally again in the Regional League NLC, but after the next EM he wants to retire. There are also several reasons for this.

What is the current status of NoWay? Frederik NoWay Hinteregger is a German Twitch streamer who primarily plays League of Legends. The former LoL pro announced for 2025 that he wants to play again in the professional field with Team NORD Esports. At 32, he already belongs to the older generation in LoL eSports.

NORD performed quite well in the NLC. They made it to the finals in the Winter and Spring Playoffs, finishing second and qualifying for the EMEA Masters. He will participate in the upcoming EMEA tournament, but after that, he wants to retire.

He cites mainly the effort and energy required, but also the disadvantages as a content creator.

NoWay will retire again, having learned from the project

What does NoWay say about his NORD ending? In a stream excerpt (via YouTube), he talked about his last six months with NORD. He clarified that he will not continue after the EMEA Masters 2025 Spring. NoWay stated that it has not been positive for him. He also gives several reasons for this:

  • It is exhausting and would ruin his schedule, it just doesn’t fit into his routine
  • In addition, it is a big commitment that takes a lot of energy
  • As a content creator, it also has a disadvantage regarding what he broadcasts

He summarizes the points with: That was a mistake in all areas. But he also sees positively that he now knows he doesn’t want to play semiprofessionally anymore. In a later stream (via YouTube), he specified the arguments again.

NoWay emphasizes once more that being in a professional team requires a lot of work. The scrims (training matches) are not very satisfying, and that is not good content either. The scrims also did not fit into his routine. It is very exhausting, it makes the streams very long and it makes the content very bad.

In the clip, the interpersonal aspects of the players are also addressed. But that is not a problem for NoWay. The team gets along very well, but there is a different approach to how to play LoL.

Following that, he also shows that as a player, you also receive abusive messages. On his x-account, he showed quite abusive messages he received after the match against Los Ratones. According to NoWay, that is normal as a professional player.

Next up is a best-of-3 against Team GK to qualify for the knockout stage. The match takes place on June 6 at 5 PM.

Monster Hunter Wilds advises players to immediately quit the game during a type of quest – fans fear for their accounts

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 3 minutes

Capcom is now banning players in Monster Hunter Wilds who do not adhere to their rules and therefore advise to exit the game immediately if there are uncertainties. Fans are worried about their accounts.

Which players does Capcom ban? In the past, Capcom announced that they would take stronger action against mods and cheats that can significantly alter or impair the gameplay experience. They have primarily focused on those players who cheat in leaderboard placements or unlock paid DLC content with mods.

However, they are also starting to punish players who modify content and quests (via X) or access content that has not yet been officially released with mods and access the game data (via X).

Therefore, Capcom expressly advises players that if they even suspect that they are participating in modified content, they should immediately leave the corresponding quest and exit the game without saving (via monsterhunter.com). This way, no mod data would appear in their game data.

Furthermore, they provide on their homepage in a table ways to better recognize such quests. Additionally, it states regarding account bans (via X):

The identification of misconduct is determined by Capcom’s own investigations and detection systems.
We review the game data and activity history before taking strict measures such as account suspension.
Please note that we cannot respond to individual inquiries regarding these enforcement measures.

This statement unsettles many players as they fear that their accounts may be suspended unjustly.

Start video
Monster Hunter Wilds shows its first title update with a new monster

“Honestly, I wouldn’t risk it as it is. It doesn’t seem worth it to me.”

Why are players worried about their accounts? Due to the statement that Capcom cannot answer inquiries regarding suspensions and the clear warning to exit quests immediately if a suspicion arises, the community is asking via Reddit whether they can still use any mods or should only play online with friends.

Many users primarily use cosmetic mods that allow them to adjust minor details, such as using the abilities of the Akuma armor from the collaboration while keeping their hunter’s appearance unchanged (via Reddit). Players seem unclear if such adjustments would fall within the scope of a ban.

Consequently, many players see this approach as a double-edged sword, while others consider it unnecessary:

  • “Honestly, I wouldn’t risk it as it is. It doesn’t seem worth it to me,” writes AtrumRuina in response to a user asking whether his mod could potentially be affected.
  • He additionally writes: “[…] This means that you have no way to defend yourself if you get caught up in something like this, whether it’s because Capcom makes a mistake or because you accidentally join a modified quest. I really don’t like this approach at all.”
  • SerGodHand notes: “Why the hell do people even bother to get some early drip and then go into public lobbies with it?”
  • red_rose23 criticizes: “Wait a minute. Does the ban take away your access to YOUR €70 game? Do you mainly play in single-player mode anyway? If so, what a terrible move. Only losers care about that. Think about the future.”
  • GameJon supports: “A step in the right direction. Any modification that could negatively affect the enjoyment of other players (even if it’s about others wearing armors that they cannot get yet) should have consequences.”

Some players also note that they find this approach from Capcom strange since such drastic bans were rather the exception in previous titles and mods had previously been handled more liberally.

Twitch streamer Ludwig fell for an impersonator of his friend and even invited him to play

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Charles “MoistCr1TiKaL” White Jr. and Ludwig Ahgren have known each other for a long time and have their own e-sports team together. Nevertheless, Ludwig was deceived for a long time by a fake account of his colleague, to which he even sent a message.

What did Ludwig fall for? The Twitch streamer and YouTuber MoistCr1TiKaL, also known as penguinz0, had an impersonator on Instagram. The fake account pretended to be the streamer and named itself MoistCr1TiKaL. It had a picture of the YouTube account as its profile picture and regularly uploaded clips from his streams, as MoistCr1TiKaL told in a video on YouTube.

According to MoistCr1TiKaL, the account also sold MoistCr1TiKaL merchandise and Pokémon cards. The real MoistCr1TiKaL was unaware of this fake account and only found out in one of his streams (highlight as a clip on YouTube).

The fake account had over 400,000 followers, including Twitch and YouTube streamer Ludwig, who even went so far as to invite the account to play. In his own stream, Ludwig reacted to MoistCr1TiKaL’s video and defensively laughed (via YouTube).

The fake account was even verified on Instagram. However, verification can be obtained on Instagram for a monthly fee. Although Ludwig uses this service himself to have his verification, he still fell for the fake account.

Ludwig is a successful Twitch and YouTube streamer on an international scale. We present you the 5 most relevant Twitch streamers in the German area:

“I don’t feel like a crazy person!”

What did Ludwig invite MoistCr1TiKaL to? Ludwig was so convinced by the fake account that he even sent it a message inviting it to a tournament of the game GeoGuessr. The streamer then defended himself as follows:

[The account] is named “MoistCr1TiKaL”, it has the picture and it has so many followers. I don’t think I am a crazy person! I don’t feel like a crazy person!

Ludwig via YouTube

How did the story end? After MoistCr1TiKaL learned about the fake account, the operator posted an apology. He tagged MoistCr1TiKaL and Ludwig and wrote that he wanted to signal through the abbreviation “UO” in the description that the account was not official. The letters were supposed to stand for the English word “unofficial”.

Ludwig further defended himself and checked whether the abbreviation was really used for that. He found nothing on it and thus reinforced his point that it was okay to have fallen for the account.

Why is this special? Ludwig has known MoistCr1TiKaL for a while. The two even founded an e-sports organization in 2021: Moist Esports. With the organization, Ludwig bought an e-sports team, which he ultimately failed with.

The organization was finally merged in January 2025 with the Canadian e-sports organization Shopify Rebellion.

So the two streamers know each other pretty well, which makes it all the more amusing that Ludwig fell for the fake account.

Player shows strong build for one of the best classes in Elden Ring: Nightreign, lets you swing through the map like Spider-Man

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Elden Ring: Nightreign, a player has shown his build for the Wylder after 55 hours, which is so powerful that he can move through the map like Spider-Man. We show you how he did it.

What did the player show? The fan OFurthestBenO revealed his Wylder build for Nightreign on Reddit. In the spin-off of Elden Ring, there are no classic builds where you have to level up your skills. Rather, players use gems that they can embed in their chalices. These gems then have special effects and buffs that can drastically enhance your playstyle.

After 55 hours, it was finally time, as OFurthestBenO was able to find exactly those gems he needed for his build. With them, he could remodel his Wylder, one of the best classes in the game, so that he could swing through the map like Spider-Man.

What makes the build so strong? This build focuses on reducing the cooldown of your character skills as much as possible. OFurthestBenO slots three green gems with a “Character Skill Cooldown Reduction +2” buff into his chalice. Additionally, his last gem gives him another use of his character skill.

He says that the setup is not perfect yet, but he feels like he has his grappling hook ready at all times – he feels like Spider-Man. When asked how often he can now use his grappling hook, OFurthestBenO said: “I can use my skill every 4 seconds and thanks to the +1 character skill, I can even stack it more easily. It really feels like I never run out of the skill.”

What do fans say about the build? They celebrate the build on Reddit, joking around, but also admitting they underestimated the relics. The following can be heard in the comments:

  • “After spending 84000 murky for cool costumes, I now realize I should start buying more random relics lol.” – FromsoftwareNPC
  • “Yes. I am now addicted. Literally Spider-Man. It can even help stagger enemies sometimes.” – Reynzs

  • “I think this is more Levi Wylderman from Attack on Nightreign [a reference to the manga “Attack on Titan“].” – LivingRel
  • “Sir, I need your save file /s.” – VoliTheKing

Depending on which relics you equip, your playstyle changes with your class. So pay attention to which gems you socket and sell those you don’t need to get murky. Besides the relics, the classes are also important. You can find out which are the best in Nightreign in our tier list: Elden Ring Nightreign: Tier List of the best classes

Path of Exile 2 admits that ordinary players will never get certain items, developers want to change that now

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Path of Exile 2 there are many unique items that can define entire characters and builds. But if you have always felt cursed by bad luck because you have never received such an item yourself, the developers now have a bitter truth for you.

What have the developers said? In a new post on PathofExile.com, the developers talked about the new patch for Path of Exile 2. With update 0.2.1, they want to bring many improvements to the game that benefit the gameplay flow. For this, they also looked at the items and how often they drop in the maps.

The developers noticed that the rarest and most powerful unique items drop so infrequently that most players have likely never seen them. The developers write:

„[…] A mythic amulet like Astramentis was about 47,000x rarer than a divine orb. When things are that rare they effectively don’t exist for most players. There are some cool items to find, but you are not going to find them. […]”

Here you can watch the trailer for the current season of Path of Exile 2:

Start video

Better loot and new items

What are the developers planning now? The developers want you to enjoy better uniques more often. While the drop rate of the unique items will not be increased, the calculation of which items you should really receive will be changed.

With the changes, all weapons, armor pieces, and jewelry will have the same chance to drop in a valuable category. “TThis means that things like Amulets and Rings were significantly less common than other types of uniques.” the developers say.

The second change that the developers are making is that the modifier “Rarity of Items found” will also influence what types of unique items drop.

This is intended to allow more rare or very rare uniques to end up in the hands of players, while common uniques will decrease in number.

What else have the developers introduced? The developers of Path of Exile 2 not only want to bring better unique items to players but also new ones. For this, the developers have introduced several items.

  • The “Lioneye’s Glare” bow was already known to many players in the predecessor and provides high ranged damage and attack repetition.
  • The “Last Lament” crossbow turns your enemies into ammunition when you finish them off, but also deals damage to you if you fire the last shot.
  • The “Whispering Ice” staff increases the damage of ice skills and does more damage the more intelligence the character has.
  • The “Cadiro’s Gambit” quiver chooses one of 6 different arrows you fire. Each arrow has a different modifier.

A new role-playing game on Steam and PS5 makes you a pirate, offers raids with sea monsters, impresses with over 300 companions

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

During this year’s State of Play, a new game was announced on Steam and for the PS5, sending players into a pirate world full of sea voyages, raids, and a lot of characters shining in a stylized look. These potential companions are actually a race of dolls.

Which game is being talked about? It concerns the newly announced pirate RPG “Sea of Remnants” from Joker Studio, in which players embark on a journey for answers as a sailor with amnesia.

In addition to battles at sea and the creation of their crew, ships, and plans, they can also enjoy other aspects of pirate life. Although the game offers many opportunities for tactical combat and raids, the sailor’s story and life outside the action also play an important role.

The game is set to be released in 2026 and will be playable on PC and PS5, as well as mobile. The developers do not intend to hold back and already promise various factions, a multiplayer mode, and hundreds of characters to meet.

Here you can see the latest trailer for Sea of Remnants:

Start video
Der Trailer von Sea of Remnants zeigt, dass neben Kämpfen und Seereisen auch die Geschichte der Puppen im Fokus steht

“A wild, romantic, and absolutely punky pirate adventure”

What will the game offer? In Sea of Remnants, you assemble your crew from over 300 possible characters with suitable team synergy to successfully undertake exploration journeys, raids, and battles against giant sea monsters. Besides a good crew, a customizable ship and good equipment, which you also have to take care of, can help.

For this, there is a retreat spot, the pirate island “Orbtopia”, where you can also fish, cook, make music, or play Mahjongg when you need a little break. 

What does the new trailer show? The gameplay trailer for Sea of Remnants offers a glimpse into the different locations of the game and the various types of combat on land and at sea.

It also becomes clear that the game wants to prove itself not only through battles and journeys but also through a unique style. It is characterized by a stylized, hand-painted art style of effects, animations, and dolls, as well as the use of music and the theme of memory. Players are already speculating on how the theme will be addressed in the game and implemented through gameplay.

Blizzard explains the possible addon ban in WoW, wants to prevent players from having a disadvantage

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Addons have been a standard tool for many players in World of Warcraft for years in combat and dungeons, but Blizzard does not seem completely satisfied with it and plans to restrict mods and similar programs. In an open letter, WoW developers discuss the topic in more detail.

What are addons in WoW? Addons like Northern Sky or Deadly Boss Mods are external programs that help players in various WoW content by displaying timers for buffs or signaling what action to take during specific mechanics. For many players, these tools have become commonplace.

As early as May, the head of WoW commented on a possible addon ban. It was argued that battles need to be made more complex through external addons in order to remain challenging.

In a current open letter to modders, the topic has been addressed again.

They want to restrict addons but also make the game more accessible

What do the developers behind WoW say about a possible addon ban? In an open letter to modders (via github.com), they explained the further course regarding addons and what approach can be expected.

The developers clarify that they currently do not wish to ban addons directly, but rather restrict them. Furthermore, they want to implement future changes with minimal impact on accessibility-related addons. However, they also explain that players who do not use external programs feel at a significant disadvantage. These players may feel excluded from competitive content.

To prevent this, they want to adjust the UI to make the game more accessible for all players. They announce that they want to make significant changes to fights and encounters. Class mechanics should also become more accessible when the addon changes are implemented.

However, they also emphasize in the letter that WoW should remain challenging. If they ensure that addons are no longer used to solve mechanics, they could choose a different approach for future design decisions.

Pokémon GO: 4 Pokémon can be chosen for Community Day – Which one is the best?

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 3 minutes

Pokémon GO lets you choose the Community Day in August. Four Pokémon are available for selection – we present them to you.

When is the Community Day in August? The Community Day takes place on August 30 and starts at 2 PM.

Which Pokémon appears then? It’s completely up to you, as four Pokémon are available for selection.

  • Quabbel
  • Reißlaus
  • Meikro
  • Ferkuli

How do you vote? Voting will take place on the official Pokémon GO YouTube channel from June 8, 3:00 AM, to June 9, 3:00 AM. There you can cast your vote.

But which Pokémon should you choose? We give you a little overview of the monsters that are up for election.

Pokemon GO Community Day August 2025
These 4 Pokémon are available for selection

What makes Quabbel special?

Quabbel is a Water-type Pokémon, whose male and female forms differ significantly in appearance. Both evolve into Apoquallyp – and that’s a strong argument to be chosen if you’re a PvP fan. It’s among the best Pokémon in the Super League and Hyper League. As a Raid attacker, you can largely ignore Quabbel and Apoquallyp.

The Shiny of Quabbel can be caught in Pokémon GO since 2023.

What makes Reißlaus special?

Reißlaus is a Bug-Water-type Pokémon that evolves into Tectass. This monster is also one of the best Pokémon in the battle league, not only in the Super League but also in the Hyper League. It can even hold its own in the Master League.

A particularly interesting point here is that during a Community Day you get a lot of candies – and Tectass requires a total of 400 candies for evolution. That would be a good opportunity.

You can get the Shiny of Reißlaus since March 2024, if luck is on your side.

What makes Meikro special?

Meikro is the “latest” Pokémon of the four candidates, it has been in the game since January 2025. It evolves into Kranoviz and Krarmor – thus, it is the only Pokémon in this selection that has a total of 3 stages.

An interesting point: Krarmor also has a Gigantamax form (which is not yet in the game). Here you could start collecting candies to later power up a potential Giga-Krarmor.

A significant argument for Meikro is also the Shiny aspect: Because Meikro’s Shiny is not yet in the game. Through the Community Day, this will likely be introduced into the game, and with increased chances.

Last but not least, Krarmor is also an absolute top choice in the Super and Hyper League.

What makes Ferkuli special?

Ferkuli was a favorite among fans from the start when Pokémon Scarlet and Violet were introduced. The Normal-type Pokémon evolves into Fragrunz, it first appeared in Pokémon GO in 2023.

In terms of battles, it is not particularly useful – neither in the PvP League nor in raids. Its Shiny has been around for two years now.

Which Pokémon should you choose?

That’s completely up to you, as everyone has different favorite Pokémon. But looking strictly at the arguments, Meikro is probably the favorite of many players. It’s the newest Pokémon, you’d get a new Shiny, and in the PvP League it’s stronger than Tectass or Apoquallyp, which both have their best arguments there. Which Pokémon will you choose? Let us know in the comments! And if you want to know what else is coming up: Here are all events in June 2025 for Pokémon GO.

The essential information about the game at a glance: Dune: Awakening is a survival MMO from Funcom set in the Dune universe. The game combines survival with elements from MMO, third-person shooter, and RPG, allowing gamers to build large bases later on.

In Dune: Awakening, you will be stranded on the desert world of Arrakis and must level up your character from a castaway to a respected servant of a house. As you progress further in the game, more tools, vehicles, and weapons will be unlocked.

Dune: Awakening incorporates traditional survival elements as well as significant features from the MMO and RPG genres. There are classes, multiple skill trees, abilities, levels, and online features such as guilds and an auction house. Endgame is shaped by a complex political system.

In the video, you can find out what to expect from the survival MMO after release:

In the endgame, Dune: Awakening focuses heavily on the Landsraad system. Here, gamers join House Atreides or House Harkonnen and compete over weekly tasks for power. The winning faction receives a bonus for the next week.

Base building also plays a crucial role. There must not only be space for production machines and materials, but also garages and landing platforms for vehicles and aircraft. Your character will be well-equipped for transportation later on.

Streamer works his way up from the lowest rank in CS2, wins 68 matches – critics say: This is impossible without cheats

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

A streamer wants to prove on Twitch that the “Elo Hell” does not exist in Counter-Strike 2. After winning 68 matches in 2 days, he is accused of cheating.

Who is it about? The streamer Josiah “JoJo” Jimenez (24) has taken on a special challenge on Twitch. He wanted to prove that the so-called “Elo Hell” does not exist in Counter-Strike 2.

JoJo is a semi-professional Counter-Strike player who has participated in various competitions and qualification tournaments throughout his career. In this way, the 24-year-old earned about 5,600 US dollars (via Liquipedia).

Streamer earns 20,000 Elo in 49 hours

What exactly was the challenge? In competitive video games, the so-called Elo Hell is often mentioned. This describes that players, for example, get stuck on a rank below their supposed skill level due to bad teammates.

JoJo wanted to prove in a speedrun that this Elo Hell does not exist in Counter-Strike 2 and that he can climb solo to 20,000 Elo in Premier matchmaking – starting from the lowest rank of the game. He took on this challenge live in a stream on Twitch, which could only end once the goal was achieved.

To not ruin other players’ matches on his way to the lowest rank, he previously played down with 4 friends in a complete 5-man team. However, he faced the way up alone.

How did the challenge go: JoJo completed the challenge. He won an impressive 68 out of 74 matches played within 49 hours. He achieved a K/D of 2.4 and an approximate win rate of 92%. After his final victory, he appeared exhausted and was happy to catch up on some sleep.

Gamers are convinced this can only be done with cheats

How did the community react: Some in the community reacted with skepticism and criticism. Some players are convinced that this win rate is only possible with cheats, while others believe he had luck with his random teammates or simply was not solo.

  • “The guy is an obvious cheater.” – via X
  • “If he did this solo, he is a cheater.” – via X
  • “Was cheating or played with friends, definitely was not solo.” – via X

Some also criticize that he ruined the fun for other players during the challenge by playing against players who are clearly below his level on his way up.

However, there are also comments that believe in his success and find that 20,000 Elo is not much. JoJo himself said in response to our inquiry about the cheating allegations: “If people think you need cheats to get to 20k Elo, they are terrible.”

The Counter-Strike community keeps bringing up interesting stories. For example, we reported on MeinMMO about a player who plays CS2 with just one hand after a stroke. He does everything in the game with the mouse: Gamer can only move one hand, yet finds a way to play Counter-Strike 2 on Steam

If you want to fly on vacation: It is best not to charge your phone at USB ports at the airport

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

An authority warns about public USB ports: You could get infected with malware. How great is the danger really?

Nowadays, many public places offer the option to charge mobile devices via USB ports. Whether at the train station, at the airport, or on the bus, such USB ports can be found in many locations.

Currently, the American Transportation Security Administration, or TSA, warns against using USB chargers at the airport. This is reported by the English-language magazine Fortune. Because using them can lead to the infection of your phone or another device with malware. The TSA also warns against using public Wi-Fi at the airport.

Start video
What does the N symbol on your phone mean?

Juice Jacking as a danger from unknown USB ports

What is behind the warning? The TSA speaks of “Juice or port jacking.” Juice Jacking refers to a form of cyber attack, where malware is injected into mobile devices such as phones via manipulated USB charging stations or cables, or data is stolen from these devices.

If you connect your phone to a corresponding USB port, your device can be infected unnoticed. Popular opportunities include USB charging stations in public places, but also USB cables that are intentionally left behind to be used by a victim.

How great is the risk? The risk of Juice Jacking is considered to be rather low in practice, but it cannot be completely ruled out. Authorities and security experts regularly warn about it.

The problem, however, is that there are no concrete numbers on how many devices are affected by Juice Hacking each year, as this generally goes unnoticed.

How can one protect against it?

  • Only use your own charger and cable whenever possible or opt for a power bank instead. However, pay attention to the rules of the airline that you are allowed to take the power bank on the plane.
  • Avoid public USB charging stations whenever possible or use a so-called “USB Data Blocker”: This interrupts data lines and only allows charging. You can pay between 5 and 10 Euros for a “Data Blocker.”
  • Always select the “Charging only” option when connecting to unknown USB ports, if your device offers it.

A powerful character in Marvel could have helped defeat Thanos, but he died 2 movies earlier

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 3 minutes

The universe of Marvel-movies is full of powerful figures who actually act only as side characters. One important character could have helped in the fight against Thanos if he hadn’t died beforehand.

Which character is it about? Already in 2011, with their 4th film, the MCU presented another world of the Marvel universe. With Thor and Asgard, gods came to the big screen. Through the first Thor film, we also got to know Odin, played by Anthony Hopkins.

Thor’s father is introduced as the strict king of Asgard. He was last seen alive in Thor: Ragnarok, and that is quite unfortunate for the Avengers because with Odin’s help, they might have been able to stop Thanos in Infinity War.

Start video
Deutscher Trailer zum Marvel-Film „Thor“

Odin was stronger than his son

What abilities does Odin have in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? As a being from Asgard, Odin inherently had stronger endurance and strength than humans from Earth. On top of that, he was an excellent tactician due to his experience and intellect. 

Additionally, he was skilled in combat with weapons, especially his spear Gungnir, a powerful weapon that was also used by his father Bor. Then there are the abilities of a god: 

  • Odin can manipulate his own life energy, not only creating powerful projectiles, but he could also drain Thor of his powers.
  • As a result, he could also imprison his daughter Hela in Hel.
  • He could use dark magic.
  • Furthermore, he can sense and see events happening outside of his sight in the universe.

How strong is Odin? Odin himself has rarely been seen fighting, but one can assess how strong he was through background stories. He was able to defeat and imprison his daughter Hela, one of the strongest villains in the MCU. For example, Thor could not defeat Hela on his own.

Even more impressive is the fact that to stop Surtur from Ragnarok, he was able to defeat him in battle at full power while equipped with the Eternal Flame. He took the Eternal Flame from Surtur and banished him to Muspelheim. Hela couldn’t achieve this, and Thor could only do it because Surtur was weakened.

In Thor: Ragnarok, it can be seen that Surtur could destroy all of Asgard with his power. Although these deeds of Odin happened a long time ago, he is likely still more powerful than most heroes long after the peak of his powers.

Odin could have been a great threat to Thanos

Could he have stopped Thanos? If he had truly gathered all 6 Infinity Stones, probably even Odin could not defeat him. However, in the fight in Infinity War, he would definitely have been a major problem for Thanos.

One can see how Thor injured him with Stormbreaker and Scarlet Witch was also able to hold her own against Thanos. Due to his power and experience, Odin at that time was probably stronger than most members of the Avengers, likely even stronger than the Hulk. The heroes might have been able to stop Thanos with Odin’s help.

Without Ragnarok and the escape from Asgard, Thanos would probably not have been able to easily snatch the Tesseract as he did at the beginning of Infinity War.

How did Odin ultimately die? Despite being so powerful, he was tricked by Loki and placed under a spell that made him forget everything. Loki banished his father to Earth, and Odin’s life energy, which he also used to imprison Hela, was slowly depleted. 

Odin had postponed his Odin sleep for so long and could not fully regenerate his energy accordingly. In Thor: Ragnarok, Odin ultimately dies, and his spirit wanders to Valhalla. Another deceased hero could have helped: A forgotten hero from the Marvel films could have helped to defeat Thanos, but he died in an absurd way

A player struggles for 8 hours against the first boss in Nightreign, desperately turns to the community

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

All beginnings are difficult, especially in a game known for its challenging difficulty. One player struggled for hours and could not defeat the first boss from Elden Ring: Nightreign and urgently needed help from the community.

What is the player suffering from? A player (Key_Construction_935) posted a desperate post on Reddit, stating that after 8 hours in the game, he had still not been able to defeat the first Nightlord of the game. This is “Gladius, Beast of the Night” (or also “Tricephalos”), who is faced as the first final opponent after two nights of a run before players can tackle the other Nightlords of the game.

To express his struggle, he used the Souls meme “My stomach hurts” and simply asked the community with a “Please.” After a few days, there are over 900 replies to his post.

He is not the only player struggling with Nightreign:

Elden Ring Nightreign drives solo players to the brink of madness

Souls community shows support instead of mockery

How does the community react? The other players from the Nightreign Subreddit are surprisingly understanding, which is not always the case in the Souls community and is often characterized by measuring greatness and critiquing other playstyles.

“Don’t be too discouraged,” writes Kirayoshikage258133, “This is a roguelike. Failing is probably more accepted in this genre than in a soulslike.” 

But understanding alone cannot help the poor player; the community is aware of this – and bombards him with tons of simple tips that are actually very effective.

What are their main tips? The community provides tips on general gameplay as well as on fighting Gladius himself. Here are some of the most common tips from the Reddit thread:

  • The giants from the mines drop guaranteed stones for weapon upgrades (Level 2).
  • Field bosses and large enemies drop legendary weapons more frequently when the player is above level 10.
  • Status effects melt enemies away. One should use them often.
  • The scarab beetles drop talismans, and their locations can be found through maps in fortresses.
  • It makes little sense to resurrect an enemy with three bars; it’s like a trap and you will get trampled by the enemy. One should use their ultimate in the boss fight for that.
  • When exploring and looting the map, one should prioritize the outer buildings instead of running directly to the middle of the map; there will be time for that later.
  • And for Gladius: Holy damage stuns him much faster than other damage.

It is refreshing to see that a Souls game community can be so supportive. This might be due to the nature of multiplayer, as every player benefits when another random player knows just as much as they do. However, those who do not want team members and prefer to play alone should be allowed to do so – the head of Elden Ring: Nightreign believes that it is completely doable: Head of Elden Ring: Nightreign defeats all bosses solo and without relics – says you can do it too
