To cause as much damage as possible for the upcoming expedition, a duo set out to locate one of the biggest adversaries in ARC Raiders. In a clip, they show how they managed to deal the most damage in the round in 66 seconds.
What did the duo achieve? The player Wooden_Technology_58 posted a clip from ARC Raiders on Reddit, where he and another teammate inflicted over 16,000 damage in just 66 seconds: With 28 Wolfpack grenades and a Deadline mine, the two were able to take down a Queen, the largest ARC in the game.
Here is the video evidence:

They managed to inflict 16,071 out of 16,169 damage (the maximum possible damage in a round) in about a minute, which especially helps them in earning the required skill points for the expedition. This is because players now need to deal up to 100,000 damage to gain 5 extra skill points.
Wolfpacks are the best friend
How did they manage to do this as a duo? In fact, the duo only used the packed Wolfpack grenades and a final Deadline when the opportunity arose to fight against the Queen.
When throwing a Wolfpack grenade, it splits into homing rockets that fly towards the ARC and cause explosive damage upon impact. The Queen could take a total of 28 of these units.

Unfortunately, the items are not that easy to obtain. With a bit of luck, players can find the appropriate blueprints and craft them with the necessary materials.
If you do not own the blueprints, you need to patiently search all possible containers and ARCs and rely on luck or good karma.
The Deadline can at least be purchased once a day for a mere 18,000 credits from Apollo.
What does the community say about the clip? The community is especially impressed by the speed and the duo’s ability to come out alive from the action.
However, they point out to the player that he did not necessarily have to move the remaining Wolfpacks into the inventory for quick use. He could have just spammed the throw, as the game automatically refills the slot when the item is actively used (similar to bandages and other healing items).
Then the two players would have likely taken down the Queen in an even shorter time.
Memory is too expensive for you? A YouTuber has made some himself. The effort is enormous, but he is very satisfied with the first result. However, the finished chips are still not enough for a gaming PC.
Since memory and SSDs are currently very expensive, the YouTuber “Dr.Semiconductor” wondered if he could not also produce RAM himself. Because there are currently no real alternatives for cheap memory.
In the first step, he turned his garden shed into a clean room. A clean room is needed for the manufacture of semiconductors, as the normal particles in the ambient air would disturb the sensitive circuits.

Why is RAM so expensive? The current situation explained in 2 minutes
YouTuber builds RAM chips in his garden shed, but it’s not enough for a PC (yet)
In his current YouTube video, “Dr.Semiconductor” shows how he manufactures a DRAM chip. These are the chips that will later be mounted on a circuit board so that they can be installed in your PC.
First, silicon pieces are prepared and cleaned. Then a thin layer of oxide is applied and a pattern is created on it using light and chemicals.
After that, the important parts of the transistors are created through etching, doping, and heating. Finally, the chip is coated with metal (aluminum), shaped, and tested.
What is the problem? At the current time, the cells are still so small that the YouTuber cannot use them in a proper PC. He himself explains that he plans to manufacture a significantly larger version and that this will then be ready to be “connected to a PC”.
So there is still one more step before the finished memory module that you can then plug into your gaming PC.
Other users also become inventive when it comes to saving a few euros when buying memory: Someone has now built their own RAM and saved quite a bit of money. However, the replica is only conditionally recommended, as you need a lot of skill to recreate such RAM: A developer saves 140 euros by simply building his memory himself

In the latest cinematic for the upcoming expansion of Diablo 4, the Lord of Hatred gets incredibly angry and extinguishes the lights of an important character in the story. Part of the community gleefully rejoices, but the Lord of Hatred has other plans.
Spoiler Warning: We are showing you the intro cinematic to Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred featuring a significant character death. If you want to go into the expansion completely spoiler-free, you should not continue reading.
Neyrelle researches with clues from Rathma’s prophecy for weapons against the Lord of Hatred and ultimately comes up with a spear of light. Her words make Mephisto incredibly furious.
In his rage, he breaks Neyrelle’s neck – which she apparently planned. For at that moment, she stabs a dagger into the body of the evil, who insists that he still had plans for her. It seems she was trying to escape just those:

On Reddit, some players thank Mephisto for finally taking out Neyrelle. She is regarded in the community as one of the characters with the worst story, especially since Vessel of Hatred has heavily focused on the theme of friendship with her. Inappropriate for Diablo, people think.
However, you should not rejoice too soon about her death, as she will still play a role. I have already played Lord of Hatred and know that she continues to play an important role and is mentioned frequently, which I have noticed myself.
The Boys has many absurd characters, but the comics take it to another level. One Supe was apparently so exaggerated that they didn’t include him even in 5 seasons – yet he is particularly important for Hughie.
The Amazon series of The Boys adapts the comics by Garth Ennis. Instead of sticking strictly to the story, the series loosely uses the world and interprets the characters in its own way – often surpassing the comics. To tell a coherent story, not every character is included.
For example, a member of the Seven was replaced. But that’s not the only case. Queen Maeve actually had a son in The Boys, with whom Hughie clashed twice. However, if you look at Blarney Cock, you probably understand why he is absent.
Start video
The Boys shows in the final trailer for Season 5 how far Homelander has come
Hughie’s First Mission
Who is Blarney Cock? In the comics, Blarney Cock is a member of the Teenage Kix. He is the child of Queen Maeve and The Legend, who in the series was the Senior Vice President of Hero Management at Vought. It is publicly unknown that Blarney is the son of Queen Maeve since she put him in a Vought orphanage. Apart from flying and super strength, he has no special abilities.
You get to know him early in the comics, during Hughie’s first mission with Butcher and Co. There is a fight with the Teenage Kix, during which Hughie accidentally kills Blarney. Just before that, Butcher had infected Hughie with Compound V, giving him super strength. In the course of the fight, Hughie finds a hamster that was in Blarney and takes it with him.
However, that wasn’t the end for Blarney. Comic-Vought can revive dead Supes with Compound V, but they are only comparable to zombies. They are alive, but cannot speak or act humanely. This also happens with Blarney Cock.
One day, he suddenly appears at Hughie’s home to retrieve his hamster. Blarney seems to realize that Hughie killed him. Hughie even apologizes tearfully until Blarney tries to grab the hamster. In doing so, he ultimately kills him.
Could Blarney Cock still appear? The series isn’t finished yet, but it’s still quite unlikely. The Teenage Kix were introduced in the 2nd episode of season 5, but without Blarney or a character resembling him.
Furthermore, it wouldn’t fit Queen Maeve’s character in the series to have a son. Aside from that, Ryan is always portrayed as the only born Supe, which would be denied by Blarney Cock. Also, thematically he does not fit into the series, which also uses the Supes as social criticism. Blarney is just a joke in the comics, with hardly any substance.
The Red Nightmare in Crimson Desert is an eccentric boss that causes problems for many players. You encounter him in the fortress of Perwin, which needs to be liberated. We will show you how to defeat the boss in no time.
What tricks can you use to defeat him easily? If you’re having trouble when facing the cube in the red smoke cloud, fortunately, there are some tricks you can apply to quickly deal with him:
Use a gas mask as a helmet to avoid damage within the cloud
You can find it by clearing the camp of bandits beforehand
Stay in motion
This makes it harder for the cloud’s attacks to target you
If in doubt, briefly leave the combat area; you have 30 seconds, and the cloud won’t reach you
Stay close to the cube and use your Power Fist attacks
If you hit the cube often enough, it will go down, and you can deal a lot of damage quickly
If you are otherwise well-equipped and bring enough healing items into the fight, the Red Nightmare should pose little problem for you. If that is not the case, there are still a few things you can keep in mind.
Start video
Here you will find the legendary horse “Rokade” in Crimson Desert
What you can do if you still have problems
If you are unable to succeed despite the 3 tricks, there are a few things you can do. In addition to the classic tips like upgrading equipment and bringing more healing items, you can now also manually adjust the difficulty.
If you would rather not do that and prefer to help yourself differently, you can try the following:
Improve your Power Fist skills
This makes it more effective, and through the skill ‘Transmission’, you can even apply it from a distance with your Axiom ability to immobilize the cube
Focus first on the present bandits and then on the boss
This helps you avoid being cornered
Play defensively rather than aggressively
If you are taking too much damage despite good preparation, take a step back and observe the boss’s moveset
Eventually, he will make an attack that slams him to the ground, and then he will be on the ground for a short time → Your chance to deal some serious damage
Especially improve your health and stamina and try again
This ensures that you don’t run out of breath too quickly
If you follow all these tips, you should encounter little resistance, and the Red Nightmare will be a thing of the past in no time.

The developers of Path of Exile 2 have announced their fifth season, but the date comes as a surprise to fans.
What kind of announcement is this? The developers of Path of Exile follow a self-imposed cycle, with a new season in the game appearing every 4 months. Fans of Path of Exile 2 can therefore calculate when the next announcement of the new season will be.
This was not entirely unexpected. What they did not expect, however, is the start date: it will continue on May 29, 2026, with “Return to the Ancients” in the ARPG.
Here you can see the teaser for the new season:
Select a MMO video…
A date sets high expectations
Why is the date so special? The last season of Path of Exile 2 started in December, so fans were actually expecting an update in April.
Putting the new season in May means that the developers have made so many changes that the season simply had to start later. This is also fueled by the already months-long calls for a new endgame from the community.
So fans are dreaming in the YouTube comments and on Reddit of a fundamentally revised endgame and hopefully one or two new classes as well due to the late date.
What have the developers confirmed so far? While fans have many hopes because of the date, hardly anything has been confirmed so far. The trailer shows that the Ancients have returned, but what exactly this will mean in the game is completely unclear and will only be revealed on May 7 during the livestream.
However, on Reddit, developer Kelly made another comment and boosted fans’ hopes with the statement: “This expansion is shaping up to be one of the largest we have ever released; it just needs a bit more time to be completed! We have some plans for the time until the GGG Live on May 7 (PDT). Stay tuned, folks!”
The developers of Path of Exile 2 want to complete their game this year. No wonder that fans have high expectations with the date and especially after the developer’s statement. Whether these will actually be met will only become clear at the end of May.

Not all members of the Straw Hat crew have been cast with actors in the Netflix series by One Piece. If you ask the cast directly, they would wish for two former wrestlers. One of them, because they really want to hug him.
Who does the One Piece cast wish for? At Galaxycon, actors Jacob Gibson (Usopp) and Emily Rudd (Nami) answered fans’ questions. A fan, dressed as Law in a crocheted outfit, asked who the two actors would choose if they could pick some castings.
Rudd immediately replied that both Gibson and Iñaki Godoy, the actor of Luffy, would wish for any role for Danny DeVito. Rudd wouldn’t mind if the actor joined the cast. Gibson jokingly responded that they would talk about DeVito all day long.

In addition, the two actors would like to see two former wrestlers:
Gibson wishes for Dave Bautista as Jimbei. Bautista is primarily known as Drax from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies from the Marvel universe. Gibson states that the actor is just big, and he wants to hug him.
Rudd chimes in and mentions John Cena as Franky. This actor has also been seen in numerous films, including comedies.
Unfortunately, however, the actors will not have as much say as the producers themselves or Eiichiro Oda, who created the manga for One Piece. Since Franky and Jimbei are very large and muscular, former professional athletes might be cast for those roles.

What else do the two actors say? In response to Rudd’s suggestion to cast John Cena, Gibson retorts that you wouldn’t be able to see him anymore. He is referring to a meme that went viral during Cena’s professional days.
His most famous catchphrase in the ring was You can’t see me. He would usually wave his flat hand in front of his own face before attacking his opponent. Originally, he meant that he was fighting on a whole other level than his opponents.
However, fans turned this into a running gag, pretending that John Cena literally meant he was invisible. On many pictures and products featuring Cena, such as here on X, they commented on why there was an empty picture and that they couldn’t see anyone there.
In Windrose there are many important islands that you must visit, and one of them is called Tortuga. We will show you how to find the mainland of the turtles in our guide.
How do I find Tortuga? To find Tortuga, you have two options:
You wander around wildly on the open sea and, with a bit of luck, find the island
The first option can be exhausting, especially if your sense of direction is not the best, so we recommend the second method. To use the interactive map effectively, you should proceed as follows:
Open the File Explorer and paste this path into the address bar: %LOCALAPPDATA%R5SavedSaveProfiles.
Then select the only folder within SaveProfiles (this is your SteamID64): Navigate from there to RocksDB .10.0Worlds.
The version number increases with each patch – if 0.10.0 is not available, select the latest subfolder.
Each subfolder under Worlds contains a saved world. To find out which world belongs to which, hover the mouse over a world in the game’s loading screen – the corresponding ID will be displayed there.
Select all .sst files in this world folder (Ctrl + A selects all) and drag them down into the tool (to do this, select the “Change” button at “Default Layout” in the upper right and scroll down) – the seed is found in just one of these files, which is why the tool scans all to find it.
You will then receive an interactive map that is oriented exactly like yours from the game.
Start video
The pirate survival game Windrose finally has a release date, and it is already very close on the horizon
Why is it so difficult to find special places? If you are wondering why there are no direct guides with directions for Tortuga, it is for a very simple reason: Windrose relies on procedurally generated maps. This means that each map is unique, as all places are always distributed to random coordinates. So every time you create a new character, you land on a completely new map. The locations that exist remain the same, only their positions change.
These were all the important infos on how you can quickly and reliably find Tortuga. Note that with the interactive map method, you can also easily find and identify other places. However, to reach these places, you need a ship, and which of the existing ones is among the best, you can find out here in our guide: Windrose: All ships in the list – These are the best

The first dates for the new Season in Pokémon GO have already been announced. There is a commonality that stands out.
What is known about the new Season? So far, neither the name of the new Season nor content such as raid bosses and monsters are known. Since the current Season “Memories in Motion” runs until June 2, 2026, at 10:00 AM, the upcoming Season will be closely tied to this and will likely last about 3 months, as is usual.
However, the first dates for the new Season have now been announced. A change that occurred in the current Season will continue.

What dates are they? The dates that have been announced so far include the Community Days of the new Season and several other events. The following dates have already been announced:
Saturday, June 20, 2026: Community Day
Saturday, June 27, 2026: Raid Day
Saturday, July 4, 2026: Community Day
Saturday, July 18, 2026: Unknown Event
Saturday, August 8, 2026: Hatch Day
Saturday, August 15, 2026: Community Day
Saturday, August 22, 2026: Raid Day
Two things stand out about the announced dates. Firstly, based on current knowledge, there will be no Community Day Classic in the upcoming Season. While not every Season features this event, it may still be disappointing for some trainers, especially since a Community Day Classic is set to occur in the current Season, which could even feature a really strong monster.
Additionally, all dates from the list will take place on a Saturday. This aligns with the announced changes for the current Season, which stated that weekend events will now only take place on Saturdays.
This approach may bring joy to some trainers who prefer to spend time with family on Sundays or plan their day differently. They will not miss any events in the future. On the other hand, the new structure could cause frustration among trainers who have to work regularly on Saturdays.
As soon as there is more information, a trailer, or further known content for the new Season, you will of course find out about it from us.
Even in the current Season, there are still some events and content waiting for you in the game. While the contents for next month are already known, you shouldn’t overlook the last days of April. We show you all events in April 2026 in Pokémon GO.

WoW Patch 12.0.5 is supposed to impress with new features but frustrates due to the multitude of bugs. The developers had promised that the faster update cycle would not affect the quality of the content.
The new Void Forge did not work correctly, supplying players with items they already have.
Housing had to be disabled in some regions due to critical bugs.
An old bug has returned, causing you to lose your crests without receiving the paid upgrade.
L’ura suffers from bugs on all difficulty levels, making the fight frustratingly unpredictable.
Various Warlock bugs that were reported weeks ago in the PTR forum have made it to the live servers. Other classes are also currently suffering from bugs.
Many players report technical issues that have supposedly worsened with the patch – such as performance, crashes, or getting stuck somewhere with their character.
Through hotfixes, the developers have managed to resolve some issues from the world of Azeroth; however, the mood in the community is tense. In several Reddit posts, players express their dissatisfaction with the poor polish of Patch 12.0.5 (Example post 1, Example post 2, Example post 3, Example post 4).
Start video
WoW: How to Get the Mount “Rosy Sporestrider”
Back to “Never play on patch day”
What are players criticizing? The community is less concerned about the individual bugs and more about the sheer number of bugs that have made it to the live servers. The situation is worsened because the developers only address individual issues. No one knows if work is being done on other problems.
This is reminiscent of the old “Never play on patch day” rule and the less glorious phases of World of Warcraft, during which the feedback from PTR testers was ignored and buyers of an expansion were often treated as beta testers (for instance, during Battle for Azeroth).
Game Director Ion Hazzikostas had promised regarding the faster expansion and update cycle of Midnight that the quality of the content would not suffer. In February 2026, he stated to TheGameBusiness:
Midnight will be the fastest expansion we have ever made in terms of the gap between addons. We will have regular eight-week content updates all the time. No shortcuts, no compromises on what we deliver, and no sacrifices in quality.
This endeavor has obviously failed. Accordingly, various players now wish to break this planned eight-week cycle to allow more time for polish and testing. FaroraSF writes on Reddit:
I don’t think anyone would be upset if patches were released every 10 or maybe even 12 weeks instead of every 8. I am not asking for more content, but simply for more bug-free content and more time to breathe.
I’m increasingly noticing that I actually miss the “content droughts.” Okay, maybe not those HUGE droughts at the end of MoP, WoD, and Shadowlands, but the more moderate ones.
There are many post-apocalyptic stories, whether in films, series, games, or comics. A cover was so good that MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes took a look at the story of a radiated guy – it’s one of the best alternatives to Fallout.
Which story is it? Comics are not only published by Marvel or DC, there are many other publishers who also release unusual stories. While visiting my favorite comic store, I stumbled upon Geiger. The cover featured a green glowing skeleton with 2 fuel rods and a torn cape. What can I say, I bought it.
After reading, I am completely thrilled because it is not just a great alternative while waiting for the 3rd season of Fallout – it even surpasses the series in some places.
Start video
The official trailer for Fallout Season 2 takes us back to the apocalypse
Somehow a superhero, somehow not
The premise of Geiger is that of a classic post-apocalypse. Two people in radiation suits tell the story of Tariq Geiger, who became a myth. Just before Tariq wanted to go into a fallout shelter with his family, he is stopped and has to stay outside to save his family.
Instead of dying from radiation, he absorbs it and becomes a living reactor. Without the fuel rods stuck in his back, he would become increasingly unstable until he explodes. If he removes them, he becomes a green glowing skeleton with superhuman abilities.
His only task seems to be to watch over his family’s bunker, which remains locked until it is safe outside again. However, his dreary life is disrupted by two fleeing children.
Geiger comes from the pen of Geoff Johns. He was the creative head at DC Comics from 2016 to 2018 and is primarily known as the author of various Green Lantern stories like Blackest Night. In 2021 he wrote Geiger for Image Comics. The story was illustrated by Gary Frank, who illustrated various Hulk stories for Marvel but also worked as an artist for characters like Batman or Superman.
Geiger offers a lot of what one likes from the Fallout world, but it has its own nice touch that makes the story feel independent.
Here you see the hardcover of Geiger from the publisher Cross Cult
Absurd, but also human
Besides the tragic story of Geiger himself, the comic also features absurd villains and side characters. There is a king of Las Vegas who rules the city like a medieval king. His soldiers are knights in armor. Then there is a mafia boss who handles everything like in the 1930s.
What I find very nice about Geiger is that the absurdity never outshines the tragedy of the story. The post-apocalypse is not an ironically dangerous place, but a sad one where people just want to survive. Geiger as the main character is especially effective in this regard.
He is not just the heroic guy wanting to protect his family; he has to face a dramatic truth. Conceptually, he is exciting: Geiger was created by the weapon that destroyed the entire Earth. However, that is not a gift with which he can do good; it is a burden – on a thematic and emotional level.
For me, this surpasses the ghoul from the Fallout series because Geiger’s actions are not told with flashbacks, but subtly within the story in progress. Even though he looks more otherworldly than the ghoul, he is emotionally more tangible. This fully resonated with me after the 2nd season of Fallout.
This applies to the entire world of Geiger. Human distrust and trust and the core theme survival are in focus. Decisions are morally ambiguous and also pose difficult questions for me as a reader – without being too cumbersome or complicated.
Geiger packages a dystopian theme in a pleasant reading experience without being too flashy or absurd, and that is a strong achievement. By the way, I haven’t even talked about the illustrations yet.
Gary Frank manages as an artist to effectively convey the emotions of the characters. Sadness, anger, but also disgust are portrayed so in detail that one forgets they are looking at images. At the same time, he manages to create awe for Geiger and the devastated Earth. This is also due to the colors, especially green and yellow, from the colorist Brad Anderson.
They are not dark, but also not classically colorful or vivid. When looking at it, the world really feels toxic because the colors glow dangerously.
Lastly, I have to praise the character designs. They embody the personalities of the various characters well and are also stylistically confident. One can certainly believe that a mad king rules over Las Vegas. First and foremost, however, Geiger is of course the highlight. What has been made from the idea of a green glowing skeleton is truly impressive.
How can one read Geiger? I read Geiger from the German publisher Cross Cult in hardcover format. It is nice, quite large, which benefits the panels, and the paper quality was very good. It contains issues 1 to 6, making it a good entry point – although the volume is quite bulky for some shelves.
In Pokémon GO, Gigantamax Gengar is waiting for you. We have looked into how you can prepare optimally for the fight and have compiled the best counters for you.
When is the boss available? The Gigantamax form of Gengar is available on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM in Pokémon GO. During this time, you can challenge the powerful boss and, if you successfully defeat him, catch him.
To ensure you are optimally prepared for this challenge, we have compiled the best counters for the boss so far.

Dynamax in Pokémon Go – How to participate in the gigantic battles
The best counters against Gigantamax Gengar
What type is Gengar? Gengar has the types Ghost and Poison. Attacks of the types Ghost, Dark, Psychic, and Ground are therefore very effective against the monster.
Which attackers should be used against Gengar? To deal the best possible damage to Gengar, you should rely on attacks of the mentioned types. The following attackers are particularly suitable:
Gigantamax Gengar
Gigantamax Grimmsnarl
Dynamax Alakazam with Confusion or Psycho Cut
Dynamax Latios with Zen Headbutt
Dynamax Espeon with Confusion or Zen Headbutt
Dynamax Gengar with Hex, Shadow Claw or Lick
Dynamax Metagross with Zen Headbutt
Which monsters should be taken as defenders? To quickly fill your Dynameter, you should have sufficiently strong defenders that can take some hits. The following monsters are particularly suitable against Gigantamax Gengar:
Zamazenta (Crowned Shield) with Metal Claw
Zacian (Crowned Sword) with Metal Claw
Dynamax Regirock with Lock-On
Dynamax Regice with Lock-On
Dynamax Corviknight with Sand Attack
Dynamax Metagross with Fury Cutter or Shadow Claw
When choosing defender monsters, ensure they have an Instant Attack with only 0.5 seconds of animation time. This way, and by forgoing Charged Attacks, you will fill your Dynameter the fastest.
Coordinate with your teams of 4 and organize well so that each trainer knows whether to focus on damage, healing, or shields.
When filling the Dynamax meter, you should also use your tank monsters. Once the meter is full, switch to your attackers, execute the attacks, and then switch them out again.
This is especially important in this battle, as many of the best attackers are vulnerable to the attacks of Gigantamax Gengar and should only be used for the attacks.
Also, remember to level up your Pokémon and unlock corresponding Dyna-Attacks and increase their levels as well.
Not only Gigantamax Gengar will be waiting for you on April 25, 2026. You can also challenge the Gigantamax variants of Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur that day. If you need tips for counters, feel free to check our overview with the best counters against Gigantamax Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur.

Largest PvP multiplayer battle in video games (previously 8,825 players)
Highest number of players competing against each other in PvP simultaneously (previously 6,557)
Up to the point when the servers of EVE Online went offline, a significant amount of money was destroyed, as the developers now confirm.

What did the battle cost? The battle for Aioth cost almost 10 trillion ISK according to the developers on eveonline.com. The developers have converted that into about $74,550, or approximately €63,500.
While this battle is not the greatest financial loss in the history of the MMORPG, it still saw a yearly salary destroyed in just 10 hours. The developers also visually represent what was destroyed in a graphic:
Statistics about the ships destroyed in the battle.
What do the developers say about the servers? Many players from the losing side blamed their defeat on the crashed servers. The developers also commented on this. According to their statement, they specifically strengthened the server for the battle and isolated it from the rest of the game world.
They did a lot to enable the thousands of spaceships, drones, and attacks, but even CCP Games’ reinforced server simply could not handle the over 10,000 fighters. The developers also noticed new bugs during the battle that they have since fixed.
Furthermore, they urge players and faction leaders in the game to announce larger battles using a tool so that additional resources can be made available by the developers.
A Dungeon Master takes a simple but effective extra step to create an even more immersive gaming experience for their players in Dungeons & Dragons in the tabletop setting.
How does the DM enhance the immersion of the campaign? The DM PMbyday_DMbynight posted on Reddit a picture of a prop from their last session: It consists of physical letters and other handouts that look like they are sent directly from the campaign to the table.
For this, he created the “parchment” himself by printing on cheap brown paper, aging it a bit, and then putting it in an envelope that he finally sealed. (As a shoutout, he mentions the YouTuber Plant Based Bride, whose video tutorial helped him with the execution.)
When he physically handed this homemade piece from the campaign to his players at the table, he knew he had done everything right, and he realized, “This is truly one of the best and easiest ways to make the tabletop experience even more intense.”

A tactile prop makes the story literally more tangible
How did his players react? The DM reports that his players did not open the letters directly, but turned the envelopes, checked the seal, and held and examined them as if they were really important.
“There was silence at the whole table for a few seconds,” the DM writes in his Reddit post, “In that moment, I realized that physical handouts are indispensable.”
Other D&D fans, DMs, and players also find the idea great – even if some other DMs worry about their reputation because of the shown effort, like kRkthOr: “This guy makes us all look bad.”
Another DM writes that due to lack of preparation time, he resorts to reusable props, such as healing potions or other handouts that are used more frequently. Another explains that a kind of logbook or journal can also be maintained by hand, into which players are occasionally allowed to peek.
Editor Caro from MeinMMO also had experiences with props: Our DM uses various props that I still keep. When she first handed us a letter, we were all as excited and silent for a moment as described by the Reddit user.
The letter not only helped us to read the message more often, but also gave it weight and is still a keepsake for our group.

Peter Molyneux is as famous as he is controversial. The creator of Populus, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, and Fable is now releasing his latest work on Steam and lets you play as a god again.
In addition to Black & White, he also gained many fans with the Fable series and is especially known as a risk-taking developer who likes to try something new. However, he is quite controversial because he has the weakness of always promising more than his games actually deliver.
The titles “Curiosity: What’s Inside the Box” and his project “Godus” are regarded as low points of his career because they could not live up to what he had promised and what the fans had dreamed of. However, his new title is supposed to change that.
Here you can watch the trailer for Masters of Albion:

Is the best saved for last?
What is his latest work? Peter Molyneux is now 66 years old and will turn 67 in a few weeks. For his presumably last work, he has turned to the genre he invented: god simulation.
In Masters of Albion, you again take on the role of an all-powerful figure resembling a god. Your task is to build a city and defend it at night. During the day, you need to invent and produce items yourself, organize food for your hungry inhabitants, and have the lord sew expensive garments.
As time goes on, you unlock more possibilities to build your city, empower your creature with even more power, and pamper your inhabitants. But that can only happen if they survive the night.
What happens at night? When the sun passes its zenith, it becomes dangerous to venture outside the castle walls. Zombies, werewolves, and trolls awaken there and want to eliminate your pampered inhabitants.
You can defend against them with weapons and armor for your citizens, as well as with the magical abilities of your deity. Every night becomes a test of strength, because not only your citizens but also the enemies are continuously upgrading.
When can one start? Masters of Albion launched today, on April 22, 2026, in Early Access on Steam. For the starting price of 22.94 €, you can get the god simulation until April 29, before it jumps to the regular price of 25.49 €.
The title is still in Early Access, where it is expected to remain for 12 months according to the developers. They plan to work on the combat system, balancing, mechanics, and expansions of the game world through patches later.
The developers hope for feedback from the community to guide the development.
As is the case with many games, many gamers are looking for fandom communities for their favorite games, including Reddit. Fans of Windrose wanted to do just that, but promptly got lost with a namesake of their pirate game, which are found more digging than at sea.
Where did the Windrose fans get lost? Those searching for the appropriate subreddit for Windrose will accordingly expect a community by the same name. However, fans of the pirate game will only find it if they search for the original name of the game, namely r/crosswind.
If someone still relies on the current name of the game and visits r/Windrose, they will probably think: Where have all the pirates gone?
The subreddit is dedicated to a band called Wind Rose, specifically an Italian power metal band that has created absolute fantasy anthems for dwarf fans.

When pirate fans meet dwarves – not such a bad misunderstanding
Who is Wind Rose? The metal band from Pisa primarily focuses on songs and albums with strong fantasy influences, whose covers are mainly adorned with dwarves. The band is particularly known for their hit “Diggy Diggy Hole” (71 million views on YouTube) or the song “Rock and Stone” (1.9 million views on YouTube).
While the former has often been used in the context of Minecraft memes, Rock and Stone is inspired by the video game Deep Rock Galactic. What started as an exclamation in the game has developed into a sign of camaraderie for fans that is still used among fans of dwarves in other games like Dungeons & Dragons.
How do the pirate fans react to the confusion? After a Reddit user pointed out with a tip to r/WindRose that the players of the pirate survival game were in the wrong place, it wasn’t so bad for them. On the contrary: They became aware of another cool thing, which earned the metal dwarves a lot of additional fans.
“I found this subreddit while searching for the Windrose video game,” explains InterestedScroller in his post, “now I’m rocking to ‘Wind Rose’ while playing ‘Windrose’. Sometimes the internet is really cool.”
FilthyBarMat also writes on Reddit: “I came here to search for the game but I already like the band. Diggy Diggy Hole!”
MeinMMO editor Dariusz Müller has played the beta of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn and already recognizes the great potential of the game.
From April 22, 2026, you will have the opportunity to take a look at The Expanse: Osiris Reborn in a closed beta and play the second mission of the campaign if you have purchased “Miller’s Pack” or the collector’s edition of the game.
I have already played the beta in advance and gained insights into the dialogue system, shooter combat, and movement in zero gravity. I could also see that my choices in conversations with various NPCs have consequences, which I would only feel much later in the finished game.
Fans of the “The Expanse” universe are also offered some lore right at the beginning of the beta. In the first 5 minutes, I heard a news anchor talking about James Holden – the protagonist of the TV series and the books. As a fan of the original work, I love such details.
Dynamic Battles Instead of “Hit the Lukas”
During the beta, we can choose between a male character from Earth or a female character from the asteroid belt with a specialization in officer or hacker abilities.
I played two runs of the beta, once with a female officer from the belt and once with a male hacker from Earth. While the officer creates chaos with grenades and incendiary ammunition, the hacker shocks his opponents with electric shocks and sends a robotic swarm of bees after them, causing damage.
Fighting takes place in a third-person perspective, and you should urgently seek cover in every fight. The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is primarily a cover shooter. However, the skill tree suggests that there could be a build later in the game that allows you to embrace the Rambo style a bit more.

In line with this, the game quickly shows you that you cannot sit motionless behind cover for hours – your opponents will often destroy this after a few seconds. This makes the gameplay a bit more dynamic and prevents a shootout from turning into “Hit the Lukas” with everyone just waiting for the opponent to peek out from cover.
As I am very impatient, I also made ample use of my abilities and my companion. This companion can throw an explosive present at your adversaries. To avoid panicking while coordinating attacks, you can temporarily slow down time with the press of a button while you select the desired command for your companion.
This was rarely necessary in the beta with only one companion, but it can be a very useful feature in the finished game with multiple companions. Once you get the hang of the combat system, issuing commands becomes quick and fluid. I completed the second run of the beta in just under 30 minutes.
Lots of Action with a Special Highlight: Zero Gravity
Overall, the beta gave me a good first impression. There was a lot of action, as we were thrown into a new firefight at several points within the mission. But even between the shootouts, there was often no shortage of action, as several cutscenes featured things flying into the air.
However, my highlight was the fight in zero gravity. At one point in the beta mission, we fight on the outer hull of a space station – and this fight feels fundamentally different from the battles that take place indoors:
Shots sound noticeably duller.
The movements of the characters are quite different.
The projectiles from firearms do not fly as they do in normal space.
The best part of the combat in space was the change of perspectives on the battlefield. To prevent our character from drifting uncontrollably into space, our character wears magnetic boots. With these magnetic boots, we can also walk along an incline and gain – compared to our previous combat position – a new perspective on the still same battlefield.
The Gameplay Feels Unique, But the Rigid Faces are Distracting
This is the impression of MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya:
On one thing, I must directly agree with Dariusz: The sequence where you go out into space and fight on the ship with magnetic boots completely blew me away! I could really feel how the boots stomped on the metal, clung, and my movement became a little slower. That, combined with the rotating perspective, gave me a sensation that I can hardly compare to other games.
It certainly helps that I am a big fan of sci-fi, spaceships, and the universe, which Owlcat has implemented beautifully. It’s almost hard to say, but I was even totally fascinated by how my opponents drifted through space when they couldn’t survive the fight with me. The physics are great – even if they were just rags drifting through space, they would have looked very pretty.
For lore fans, there is also plenty to discover. I took my time and read various diary entries. The universe and the everyday life of the people there are highlighted. You can catch big and small stories everywhere, which I personally always find cool.
What I criticize the most is that the controls still feel somewhat wooden. Unfortunately, the faces of the characters also appear wooden – which is very unfortunate! You can sense that the game will feature strong emotions, but it’s hard to recognize them on the faces.
Overall, I think it’s a good decision by Owlcat to offer a beta before release to manage expectations accordingly.
Conclusion on the Beta: A Lot of Potential for SciFi and Expanse Fans
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn shows in the beta that it has great potential. If you like sci-fi stories, are perhaps a fan of The Expanse (the series/the books), or enjoy games like Mass Effect, you should definitely keep an eye on the new game from Owlcat Games.
The initial shootouts in zero gravity were enjoyable, and the game already hints that we will experience interesting stories within the “The Expanse” universe.
The Twitch streamers Fanfan and PaymoneyWubby made a small appearance with a clip in a movie and earned 2,000 dollars each for it. They didn’t even have to put in any effort.
Why do the Twitch streamers get so much money? PaymoneyWubby and Fanfan probably didn’t think much about it about half a year ago when they streamed Minecraft together. They were talking about the fact that there is probably always at least one person in the world who is currently masturbating.
A clip of the stream was uploaded to a highlight channel of PaymoneyWubby and even reached some people, as the clip on YouTube reached over 3 million views.
It seems that the team of the film Roommates also became aware of this clip, as did Adam Sandler, one of the producers of this film. The clip was apparently so suitable for a scene in the movie that Fanfan and PaymoneyWubby were paid for the permission to use it.

High payment for no extra effort
How much did the two get? The two received 2,000 US dollars each for their performance, totaling 4,000 US dollars. The clip lasts a total of 18 seconds, but only 6 seconds were used. PaymoneyWubby said exactly 6 words, for which he then received this high payment without any further effort.
PaymoneyWubby mentions in a clip on Reddit that according to the team of Adam Sandler, the actor himself saw the clip, found it funny, and actually wanted it specifically for this scene.

PaymoneyWubby and Fanfan are by no means the only Twitch streamers whose clips are used for movies. It is becoming increasingly common for content creators to be specifically booked for films.
Either as a voice for a character, as an actor, or even as themselves for a cameo appearance. For example, the YouTuber jacksepticeye can be seen in the film Free Guy from 2021. He commented on the events of the movie as himself.
