Cult of the Lamb is one of the best indie titles you can currently buy on Steam. A person has now bought the game in the Vatican. There, the new Pope will be elected starting May 7, 2025.
What kind of game is it? In Cult of the Lamb, you build a cult with a sheep and try to grow your sect. You collect buildings, find new followers, and fight rival cultists. The game itself is doing very well on Steam: With over 88,000 reviews, the game is rated as “very positive” (95% positive) (as of May 3, 2025, 10:00 AM).

A player has just bought Cult of the Lamb in the Vatican
What just happened? The publisher of Cult of the Lamb, Devolver Digital, posted a picture of the game’s sales figures on X.com: The game was recently sold just once, and that was in the Vatican. A developer adds to the post: “Now you know what they’re doing in the conclave.”
The identity of the buyer is unknown. At the time of the post, April 25, 2025, hundreds of thousands of believers were in the Vatican to say goodbye to the late Pope Francis. His funeral was held on April 26, 2025, in St. Peter’s Square.
How big is the Vatican? The Vatican, or correctly: Vatican City State, is an independent country in the middle of Rome, the capital of Italy. According to statements from the Vatican itself, the country has 764 citizens, though the actual number of inhabitants might be a little higher (via vaticanstate.va, as of May 3, 2025). Only a small portion of the citizens live within the city limits, the rest outside the country. The most famous resident of the Vatican is the Pope, followed by his Swiss Guard and diplomats and Catholic dignitaries.
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad will be released for free on Steam in a few weeks. However, players are warning about the many microtransactions. Some players state: It’s astonishing how many microtransactions can be packed into a simple game.
What kind of game is this? Game of Thrones: Kingsroad was released in March 2025 as a game for around 25 euros on Steam. The game promises, according to developers, a “narrative action-adventure RPG of blockbuster quality that brings the world of Westeros to life with exceptional detail and unprecedented scale.”
After about two months, the game is now officially coming to Steam and will also be free. However, the reviews on Steam are only “Mixed” (63% positive) with around 1,000 reviews. This is mainly due to the strong monetization that resembles mobile titles.

Many contents hidden behind microtransactions and a paywall
What is the problem? Players report that Kingsroad relies on a specific currency that you need to obtain loot or progress in the story at all. Players warn that all essential content like important fights or bosses is hidden behind a paywall (via steampowered.com):
It’s astonishing how many microtransactions can be packed into a simple game. (…)
Progress is heavily controlled by BP, points that you have to spend to receive loot from missions, bosses, etc. No more BP? No problem – 10 $ and you’re good to go – for today. No BP tomorrow – no problem – just pay again – and again – and again. And if you think you have enough for the rest of the storyline, you’ll be surprised. Do you need 38,000 points for the storyline? You guessed it, we’re screwing you again and you need 48,000 for the boss. Where do you get the points? Check out the shop – 50 $ here … 50 $ there and you can face the boss, which is basically a PAYWALL.
Additionally, there are a total of 14 different currencies in the game and two battle passes that you can buy if you want to progress. The colleagues at GameStar (Paywall) also explain that the game misses a lot of potential due to the greedy microtransactions.
Some players also accuse the game that even the official release can’t save much anymore (via steamcommunity.com): There have been no major updates in the past few weeks, and by now, most content has been played through. Currently, only about 200 players are still playing Kingsroad (via steamdb.info).

Some of the most frightening villains hide behind a charming smile and a calm demeanor. In this list, we take a look at 10 anime villains who are much more dangerous than their outward appearance suggests.
How were the characters selected? This list mainly focuses on antagonists that often come from more realistic anime. So, series in which the characters usually have no supernatural powers or where evil does not always appear in the form of a typical final boss.
Some of these characters are also not “classically evil,” yet they can still send chills down your spine.
Spoiler Warning: Since this is about the antagonists and their motivations, there are several spoilers regarding the selected anime: Psycho-Pass, One Piece, Attack on Titan, Kaiji, Yowamushi Pedal, Monster, Ajin, Fate/Zero, The Promised Neverland, Erased.
In the anime “Attack on Titan,” the antagonist Zeke played an interesting and impressive role. Here is a trailer for the latest film:

1. Shogo Makishima (Psycho Pass)
Shogo Makishima is a central figure from the anime “Psycho-Pass,” a dystopian science fiction series set in a future where the so-called Sibyl System monitors the behavior and mental state of all citizens to detect and control potential criminals early on.
Makishima is the main antagonist of the first season. Despite his violent and criminal actions, his Psycho-Pass (a kind of digital measure of mental stability) remains neutral, which means that the Sibyl System does not recognize him as a threat. This allows him to evade the system, thus he cannot be held accountable.
He controls the kingdom of Dressrosa after forcing the rightful king to flee and posing as the savior. Doflamingo despises the World Government and thus aims to overthrow the existing order. In the underground, where he is known as “Joker,” he secretly pulls the strings and runs an extensive network of criminal activities.

Young people were asked about their views on work and health. About half of the respondents indicated that they would accept a pay cut for better health.
What kind of study is this? In a global study on healthy lifestyles, more than 14,000 people in 25 different countries were asked about their assessment of their work situation (via globallongevitystudy.com).
Fifty percent of respondents were willing to cut their salary, showing how much mental health issues have become a priority for a large majority of young workers. Specifically, the question was: “I would prefer for my workplace to care for my health and well-being, even if it means earning a lower salary?”
Among Gen Z, 52% agreed, while among millennials, it was still 49%. The highest agreement rates were in India with 71%, and the lowest in Denmark with 21%. Even in Germany, only about 30% of respondents were willing to forgo salary.

The choice of employer is very important for many young people
The significance of the employer: The survey also shows that young people preferably look for an employer who supports the mental health of employees. This was considered very important by almost a third of American millennials and about a quarter of Generation X and Z participants in the survey.
Gurpreet “Sunny” Singh, founder of Roundglass, who initiated the study, explained:
Employees do not want to sacrifice their well-being for a job, and if employers do not address this issue, it harms company results. To attract and retain talent, placing importance on the mental health of employees is non-negotiable.
Leslie Kenny, co-founder of the Oxford Longevity Project, adds:
Work is such an important part of our lives, but for many it is a stressful experience. It is clear that people expect their employers to support their efforts to take care of themselves and improve their health.
A skill that many know from the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic is also coming to World of Warcraft – for everyone.
It’s no new development that World of Warcraft sometimes borrows a little from other games and incorporates their ideas. However, we will feel one effect of this in patch 11.1.7. Because all heroes and heroines will receive a new ability that could almost have come directly from the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Start video
WoW-Aprilscherz von 2009 ist mit dem neuen Feature heute Realität
What kind of ability is that? The ability “Recuperate” is currently available to all characters in their spellbook with patch 11.1.7. The ability begins a small channeling with an animation. The character kneels down to light a campfire, prepares some food, and then eats it.
While the channeling is active, the character regenerates a large amount of hit points every second – up to 150% over the course of the ability.
The ability cannot be used in combat. It is exclusively intended for regeneration outside of combat.
What does this have to do with SWTOR? Such an ability also exists in other games, but it is particularly well-known from Star Wars: The Old Republic. Here, each class had its own recovery ability, inspired by various scenes from the films. For example, Inquisitors had a “Wrath” animation, during which they walked slowly up and down – like Darth Maul in his final battle when he was separated from his target by a door.
In WoW, it seems that all characters will receive the same animation, although this could change in the future. However, the current one fits well with the “adventurer” feeling that WoW wants to convey in many areas.
What is this useful for? Since the healing cannot be used in combat, the ability is especially useful for refreshing yourself between fights. This is particularly helpful when you are out solo in a depth, for example, and have no other method of healing. Also, after a wipe in a raid, everyone can immediately activate their self-healing after being resurrected, so that the healers can regenerate their mana immediately instead of healing everyone individually. This way, everyone is ready for action faster.
This new feature is unlikely to have a significant impact on the game’s balance. It primarily represents an improvement in quality of life. Some say – partly in jest – that this is an indirect nerf for mages, as their magical food will now become less popular. Only healers with mana consumption will still be happy about a mage table in the future. It is also new that you will soon be able to play WoW with just one button – if you want to.

The MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online is celebrating its anniversary year and has some rewards for you. In addition to simple amounts of gold, ESO is gifting you an entire house. MeinMMO will show you how you can make the property in Tamriel your own.
How do you get the free house? During the event, which runs until May 29, 2025, you can complete various activities in Elder Scrolls Online. Once you have mastered 25 of them, you will be able to move into the great gallery of Tamriel.
What are activities? The activities in Tamriel are part of the “Golden Undertaking”. This is a system that allows you to receive certain rewards for a limited time. An active Golden Undertaking can be found in the menu item “Golden Undertakings” in the “Groups and Activity Search”.
In total, there are 38 activities consisting of various goals that you will almost automatically complete while playing. Many activities are very simple, such as completing quests or defeating leaders in the base game’s areas.

In the sci-fi shooter Jump Ship, you control a spaceship with up to three friends and fight against space pirates.
What kind of game is this? Jump Ship is a first-person shooter set to be released in 2025. It takes place in a sci-fi setting and allows you to cooperatively pilot a spaceship with up to 4 players and complete various missions.
During the missions, you travel to different planets where you infiltrate enemy outposts and loot containers. In these, you can find technology that improves your spaceship. However, loot does not play as significant a role in the first gameplay videos as it does in games like Destiny.
While journeying through space, you can also be attacked by space pirates, against whom you must defend yourself to save your spaceship and your life.

Sea of Thieves in space
What makes Jump Ship special? In Jump Ship, the entire crew is involved in piloting and maintaining the spaceship. While your pilot steers the ship, you need to shoot at enemies and put out fires.
While putting out fires, you run around inside your spaceship or on its wing, combating the flames in a classic way with a fire extinguisher – let’s not talk about how realistic that is.
To board enemy ships more effectively during your spacewalks, you have access to a kind of jetpack that allows you to move in space even without a spaceship.
Overall, Jump Ship feels like a Sea of Thieves in space.
Who is behind Jump Ship? Jump Ship is the first game from the Swedish development studio “Keepsake Games,” which was founded in 2021 in Stockholm by 5 gaming veterans, each with over 10 years of experience.
The team at Keepsake Games consists of former developers and founding members from Mojang (Minecraft) and Hazelight Studios (It Takes Two, A Way Out).

Upon completion, there are a lot of rewards like in-game currency, Shaded Comic Material with three customizable color slots, a rank 140 artifact pack, and a level-7 ally pack.
In the story of the update, a curse emerges that threatens the magical world. As a consequence, John Constantine relocates the House of Mystery to the cemetery of Gotham. There, he and Zatanna hope for support.
By the way, anyone who successfully completes the event will receive John Constantine as a new ally. Additionally, there is a graphic update as well as a new matchmaking feature.

What does the graphic update bring? The graphic update affects all PC players. With the update, the graphics on PC will be adjusted to those of the console versions. According to the patch notes, an additional 4.5 gigabytes of space will be needed on the hard drive for this.
The development team states in the patch notes that this current update is part of ongoing and further improvements to the graphics.
What does the new matchmaking feature do? From now on, there is a new feature in matchmaking: In the custom settings, Private Match can be selected. This will start the next instance only with the people currently in a group.
However, the developers warn that some content may not work with smaller groups. They also ask for any bugs found to be reported.

The new season of League of Legends has started and brings with it not only many changes to gameplay and champions but also an unpleasant bug. With a simple misclick, you could ruin the entire round.
What happens with a wrong mouse click? Since the early days of League of Legends, recalling has been an important and valuable ability that can be used by any champion. The bug caused you to sell your recall with a right click in your team’s base.
How could the round be ruined because of this? Normally, sold items should return to the inventory with the “Undo” function, but unfortunately, that doesn’t work with the recall. The button disappears completely and cannot be retrieved by any method.
The recall is an integral part of League of Legends. Every champion has to return to base at some point to heal or buy items. If you can’t recall, you will lose many valuable seconds or even minutes. In addition to the lost time, another reason is that you sometimes find yourself in situations where it is impossible to reach your base safely. In this case, a recall is inevitable.
The video shows the new launch trailer for Season 2 2025 of League of Legends:

Fortunately, the bug was quickly discovered
How was the bug found? Youtuber Vandiril uploaded a video titled “Riot finally added something INCREDIBLE!” on April 29, in which he demonstrates the bug and then tries to get the recall back, but without success.
In addition to the video, there was also a Reddit post by the player sidknecht, whose ADC accidentally sold his recall in the middle of the round. After sidknecht did not believe him, he tested it himself and warned the community about the bug.

Has Riot already fixed the bug? Severe bugs like selling the recall lead to high frustration among players and need to be fixed as quickly as possible. After the bug became public, Riot responded after several hours and had their community manager comment under the Reddit post:

A programmer discovered after a shopping trip that all the USB sticks he purchased were fake. A good reason for him to take action.
In the multitude of online offers for hardware, it can happen time and again that one realizes after purchasing a product that it is a deviating or even counterfeit product.
This experience was also shared by programmer Steve Gibson. During testing of a new version of a program he developed, he came across a USB stick whose stated storage capacity was incorrect. He then conducted a self-experiment and purchased 12 inexpensive devices from Amazon, all of which were supposed to have 1 TB or 2 TB of storage.
Start video
In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?
12 USB-Sticks, One Software
What results does his test yield? After the memory sticks arrived, he tested all 12 samples and came to a shocking conclusion: Not a single one had the storage capacity as indicated on Amazon.
When the devices were connected to a PC, the operating system displayed the size at which the sticks were sold. However, in most cases, the actual size was only 64 GB.
The crux of the matter: Gibson discovered that even after the first 64 GB of data, further data could still be transferred to the sticks. However, it was no longer the files themselves that were stored, but only information such as the names of the files and their size on the devices.
This means that the files are empty when copied from the device to a computer. The actual content is not transmitted. The operating system also does not show an error, as it does not test whether the data has been successfully written to a stick. It relies on the storage medium to report any problems with the transfer of files — which it of course did not do.
A program aims to remedy this: Gibson then decided to develop a program called Validrive to test the real capacity of USB sticks and prevent data loss caused by such manipulated devices.
The tool randomly tests whether the space stated by the seller is actually available on a storage medium. Test data is written to different locations on the stick and directly checked to see if the data can be read back.
After the test, a report is generated that clearly indicates whether a device has the stated storage capacity. ValiDrive is not the first tool of its kind. However, since the program only randomly checks the available capacity, it can save considerable time in reaching a conclusion.
The program can also be used without a prior installation. It only needs to be downloaded and can be run portably. The graphical presentation of the final report, which can also be seen on the developer’s page, allows the results to be interpreted quickly even without extensive technical expertise.
Tips for buying USB sticks: If you are looking for a USB stick yourself, there are various tips you can follow to minimize the risk of acquiring a counterfeit version right from the start:
Pay attention to the price. If it’s significantly lower than comparable products with the same capacity, then something might be wrong.
The action game GTA 6 has officially been postponed, the developers announced in a statement on May 2, 2025.
This is the announcement: Rockstar Games announced on May 2, 2025, that the release of GTA 6 has been postponed. The action game is now set to be released on May 26, 2026 (via rockstargames.com). So, GTA 6 will not be released this year.
Previously, the release of GTA 6 was scheduled for fall 2025, but no exact date was communicated. Since then, fans have been waiting for new information as well as a second trailer.

Endlich Releasedatum für GTA 6 bekannt – nicht 2025
More time to deliver the necessary quality
How does Rockstar justify the postponement? Rockstar Games justifies the postponement of the release date by stating that they need more time to deliver the quality they aim for. The studio needs more time for this, but they want to share “more information about GTA 6 soon.”
You can read the full announcement from the developers here in German:
We are very sorry that this is later than you expected. The interest and excitement around a new Grand Theft Auto has impressed our entire team. We would like to thank you for your support and patience while we work on completing the game.
With every game we have released, it has always been our goal to exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception. We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver the quality you expect and deserve.
We look forward to sharing more information with you soon.
Fans find postponement reasonable
This is how the community reacts: In social networks, many fans waiting for the release of GTA 6 are reacting very calmly. Many players write that they expected a postponement anyway and even anticipate further delays. Others are convinced that it is right to postpone the game rather than release it in less than optimal condition.
“Thank God they are finally saying something official. I felt like GTA 6 was turning into a myth, lol. 2026 is a wait, but at least we are no longer completely in the dark.”
“I’m sure it was the right decision to delay the release, but it’s still a huge shock.”
“At least now we have a date, I don’t mind a delay if it means the game will be good.”
“It’s Rockstar, bro. What did you expect. Also, I really doubt it will be released on May 26, they will postpone it even more.”
Some players also hope that with the postponement, the release date for the PC version will also come closer. Rockstar Games only announced the release date for the console version during the initial presentation of the game.
The impact of the postponement on the release of the PC version is currently unknown.
Schreier explained that after the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, Rockstar Games promised to avoid employee overtime in the final months before a release, which is why a postponement could be possible.
Just a few days ago, Gearbox Software postponed the release of the upcoming loot shooter Borderlands 4. The game is now coming earlier and will be released on September 12, 2025. Some fans speculated whether the postponement was related to the release of GTA 6.

The current antagonist of World of Warcraft still has many secrets. Her origin will be explored in more detail in the next patch – with a cutscene.
In the current expansion The War Within, the overarching plot revolves around Xal’atath. The elf with an affinity for the void is a mystical figure whose story is quite complex and not all secrets have been revealed yet. The next patch will finally provide some clarity, as we will witness how she came to possess the dagger that later bears her name.
Spoiler alert: This article contains story details about the new story quests in patch 11.1.7.

WoW: Xal’atath and the Destruction of Dalaran
What’s new in patch 11.1.7? With patch 11.1.7, World of Warcraft introduces “Lore-Walking.” Here, you will visit lorekeeper Cho and experience some mysteries from the history of Azeroth with him. You can experience the origin of the Lich King or the origins of Xal’atath.
In gameplay terms, this works by repeating a series of quests that already exist in the game. For example, the priest artifact quest line where you originally find Xal’atath or her “liberation” in Battle for Azeroth.
However, there will also be new quest lines that continue these stories, as in the case of Xal’atath.
What does the new quest line show? In the final step of the quest surrounding Xal’atath, we travel back in time to the era of the Black Empire. This is the time span when Azeroth was completely dominated by the Old Gods Y’Shaarj, C’thun, Yogg-Saron, and N’Zoth.
Xal’atath attacks Ny’alotha here, the empire of N’Zoth, and tries to conquer it, as she apparently has other plans than the Old Gods.
N’Zoth has all tentacles full defending against Xal’atath and even has to summon his brothers in the end to succeed.

Xal’atath is trapped in the blade but optimistically sees herself as the long-term winner, as she literally has “eternity” to wait. As a little bonus, we learn that Xal’atath has whispered to N’Zoth and proposed a “pact” that would make him more powerful and successful than his brothers. A pact, which we know was fulfilled in Battle for Azeroth with the liberation of Xal’atath.

Mega-Kangaskhan returns to Pokémon GO. How do you catch it? You can read about it here.
When is the Mega Raid Day? On Saturday, May 3, 2025. It runs from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
What’s special about Mega-Kangaskhan? The raid with Mega-Kangaskhan gives you the opportunity to secure the normal Kangaskhan. Why is that exciting? Because Kangaskhan is one of the regional Pokémon that cannot actually be caught here.
So it’s a very good chance to secure the Pokédex entry if you don’t have Kangaskhan yet – and of course, to collect Mega Energy for the Mega Evolution.
Additionally, you will also receive an increased shiny chance on every Kangaskhan you catch from a Mega Raid on Raid Day. Accordingly, collectors also have a good opportunity here to secure a coveted shiny Pokémon.
Furthermore, every Kangaskhan you catch from a Mega Raid during the event will know the move “Stomp”.
How will you utilize the day? We summarize it for you here.
Start video
Pokémon GO: What’s in the new Season Powerful and Masterful
Mega Raid Day with Mega-Kangaskhan – Contents, Bonuses, Tips
Utilize bonuses on Mega Raid Day: Basically, some bonuses are active during the event that you should take advantage of.
The most important are the five free raid passes you can get during the event. With the standard raid pass you receive every day, you can reach up to six passes.
But: The next free pass is only available once you have used the last one. Hence, you should keep spinning gyms to obtain the next one. So proceed as follows:
Complete a Mega-Kangaskhan raid
Go to the next gym
Spin the disc and collect your pass
Fight Mega-Kangaskhan again
Moreover, the remote raid limit on this day is increased to 20, instead of 5. This applies from 2:00 AM on Saturday until 5:00 AM on Sunday. This also applies to all other raids – so if you want to use remote raids for something other than Kangaskhan, it’s an option.
Complete the limited research: During the event period, a limited research will run that gives you Stardust. You can practically complete it alongside the raids, and Stardust is always useful.
How do I get Mega-Kangaskhan? Since you can only obtain the normal Kangaskhan from the raid, you will need to evolve it using Mega Energy. You need 200 units of it for Kangaskhan. You can obtain it from the raids – and the quicker you defeat them, the more you will receive in the end.
How do I defeat Mega-Kangaskhan? The good thing about this raid is that you can theoretically defeat Mega-Kangaskhan alone. However, it becomes significantly easier with more trainers. Additionally, you will be faster and collect more Mega Energy. Therefore, we recommend rather three trainers and good counters.
Especially with fighting moves, you can deal damage to Mega-Kangaskhan. Some of the best options include Mega-Lucario and Mega-Scizor, along with other popular favorites like Machamp, Terrakion, and other fighting monsters. We show you the best counters against Mega-Kangaskhan here.

In Expedition 33, you can easily ruin the final battle. Because those who use the normal “gamer logic” make a mistake.
Like many others, I have played a lot of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in the last few days and I basically think that we already received our game of the year in April. I am very enthusiastic about the story, the art style of the world, and the combat system.
However, a problem crept in for me that has ruined many JRPGs and slightly spoiled the final moment of Expedition 33: I prepared so thoroughly for the final battle that it became ridiculously easy.

Much to do before the final battle – but that was not a wise decision
I want to avoid spoilers here, so I won’t go into the story – just the gameplay circumstances that ruined the ending for me a bit.
There is a point in the game where you are unmistakably informed that the final battle is approaching and that you should prepare “as well as possible.” For me, this translated from game language to:
“Aha, before I set off, I should take care of everything else. Every side quest that is still open and every unexplored area should be completed!”
Since you also unlock the ability to explore the game world largely freely at the same time, I did exactly that. Because there were still many hidden places, additional dungeons, and levels that I had not explored. Many of them still had a red “Danger!” marker, but if you work your way through step by step, a quite sensible order emerged in my view.
This meant that I spent another roughly 20 hours exploring and completing side missions. Since these also repeatedly brought (quite relevant) story details and had some cutscenes, it felt coherent and right. At least I thought so.
Because when I then made the decision to set off for the last battle, I realized right at the first enemy that this might have been a mistake. While the epic music blasted around me, making it clear that this was really for everything, it took just one attack to take down the enemy.
Unfortunately, this was not an isolated case, but all enemies between my party and the final boss were no more than cardboard cutouts that posed no challenge at all.
Final boss taken down with a one-hit
Just to express this in numbers: When the hint for the final battle came, the members of my expedition were about level 40. In the final battle, they were all clearly beyond 90. They not only had more than double the character stats but also such strong Pictos and so many Lumina points that ordinary enemies collapsed at the sight of them.
When it came to the last fight, the battle lasted exactly one single round – my character only had to make one single move to already decide the match. The stats of my Maelle were even so high that she could have attacked multiple times in a row before the boss could act even once.
My expression is hidden in the screenshot. Far down.
A few targeted shots to the enemy’s face were enough to send him to the ground. Something that would hardly have scratched most enemies I fought otherwise. The grandiose battle music ended before it could really take off.
This significantly took away the drama and tension from the otherwise so emotional scene and spoiled the game’s finale for me a bit. The story is still grand, of course, but if the big enemy is just low-hanging fruit, it does diminish the experience a bit.
For my next gameplay run, I know: I can do the final battle first. That way, it won’t disrupt the exciting story and will ensure that the battle really feels like a final battle. Because I really messed that up.
So if you reach the point in the game where you are explicitly told that the final battle is imminent, I can at least give a small warning: You can simply continue following the story and do not have to complete “everything else”. Because even though the game implicitly claims this, it is actually logical in terms of difficulty to complete many of the endgame contents after the final battle of the main story. A lesson I had to learn, which unfortunately made me ruin the emotional climax of the game. If you’re interested in our review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, you can find it here.

If you want to play GTA 6 at release, you need a console, and the cheapest console has now become more expensive.
What is the cheapest way to play GTA 6? The cheapest way to play GTA 6 at release is through the Xbox Series S. This was previously available for €299, while the PlayStation 5 cost a bit more at €399.
The price difference to the PS5 is now significantly smaller, as Microsoft has increased the prices for the Xbox consoles. The Xbox Series S is now set to cost €349.99 in the base variant with 512GB storage instead of €299.99. The Series S with 1TB storage now costs €399.99 (via Xbox).
Endlich Releasedatum für GTA 6 bekannt – nicht 2025
The Series S loses its GTA argument
Why could the console have received some love?GTA 6 will be released only for consoles, namely for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A version for PC is expected to be released at a later date.
Players who do not yet own a current console but want to play GTA 6 at release will need to buy such a console. The Series S appeared particularly appealing due to its significantly lower price and could have been purchased by players regardless of their personal preference between Xbox and PlayStation. A game analyst even believed that GTA 6 could have become a hit on the Series S.
Now the price difference is significantly smaller, and players may decide they prefer to opt for the PS5 with 1TB storage rather than the now only €50 cheaper Series S with 512GB storage or the equally priced Series S with 1TB as well.
When is the PC version of GTA 6 coming? While the release for consoles is now planned for May 2026, no further information is available about the release of the PC version.
A former employee of GTA developer Rockstar Games has now given his own assessment regarding the release of the PC version and explained why Rockstar’s approach may differ somewhat from previous releases: Former Rockstar developer talks about the release of GTA 6 on PC

The German Generation Z uses many terms in their language that have their origin in the English language. Other expressions are of German origin; however, some Boomers have a puzzled look on their faces when words like ‘scissors’ and ‘wild’ come up.
The title image is a symbolic image.
What are Boomers? “Boomers” refers to people who were born during the Baby Boom period, specifically in the late 1950s to early 1960s. Many Boomers are now grandparents.
What is Gen Z? Generation Z, or Gen Z, refers to the generation born approximately between 1995 and 2010. The members of this generation are now between 14 and 30 years old.
How did this list come about? MyMMO editor Dariusz has compiled a list of 10 terms that, in his personal experience, are typical for Generation Z.

“We have created a monster” – A Spanish model earns up to 10,000 euros a month, yet she is not real
Cringe
Meaning: An expression used to show that something is embarrassing or makes one cringe.
Example: ‘He plays Fortnite, that’s cringe.’
Actually
Meaning: In German, about ‘technically’, used when a know-it-all corrects or clarifies a statement; alternatively also for ‘actually’.
Example ‘technically’:
Person 1: ‘Real talk, the Kilo is currently the best assault rifle in Warzone.’
Person 2: ‘Actually, the AK has a better time-to-kill than the Kilo.’
Example ‘actually’:
Person 1: ‘Wow, I think I’ll stop by Mecces on the way back.’
Person 2: ‘That’s actually not a bad idea.’
Scissors
Meaning: About ‘Yes, that was my fault.’
Example: ‘Scissors, the defeat is on me. I just didn’t see the opponent.’
Literally
Meaning: In German, for ‘literally’; used to emphasize that a statement exactly describes the given information.
Example: ‘I live literally at the end of the world, we have more cows here than inhabitants.’
No joke
Meaning: About ‘no joke’ means that something is serious.
Example: ‘No joke, the new update from Warzone is really nice.’
Realtalk
Meaning: Used to lend weight to the following statement.
Example: ‘Realtalk, anyone who still believes in 2025 that animes are only for kids simply has no idea.’
Wild/ Wyld
Meaning: An expression of amazement, similar to ‘awesome’ or ‘intense’.
Example: ‘Bro, your aim is wyld.’
NPC
Meaning: ‘NPC’ actually stands for ‘Non-Player Character’, which in German means ‘Nicht-Spieler-Charakter’ and describes characters in gaming that are not controlled by a player, thus not human. Outside of gaming, this term is used sarcastically to express that someone behaves like a non-player character, for example because the person has no opinion of their own.
Example: ‘Look at this NPC.’
Same
Meaning: In German about ‘the same’; an expression of agreement, the Boomer alternative to ‘same’ is ‘dito’.
Example:
Person 1: ‘Wow, I really don’t feel like working tomorrow.’
Person 2: ‘Same!’
Speech
Meaning: An expression of agreement and a simultaneous request to the speaking person to continue their speech.
If you regularly use some of these terms yourselves, you are probably also a member of Generation Z or a relatively young Millennial – or at least young at heart.
How I Met Your Mother is one of the most popular comedy series of all time. The search for Ted’s wife and the stories of his friends captivated many viewers. Although the series was well received for years, many fans were dissatisfied with the final season. A YouTube channel explains why.
What is the problem with the last season? The finale of How I Met Your Mother failed to convince all fans. Compared to the other seasons, season 9 has the worst IMDB average of the series at 7.5, especially the finale is punished with a 5.5 (via Reddit).
There are probably several factors, but one YouTuber believes he knows the reason. Nerdstalgic is a channel that deals a lot with movies and series. In a YouTube video about How I Met Your Mother, he explains why the last season is so bad. He concludes: Marshall ruined it.
A trailer for season 8 can be found here:

How I Met Your Mother – Promo teaser for season 8 focusing on Barney
Marshall is not really present in the last season
What is the problem with Marshall? Marshall is Ted Mosby’s best friend and is played by Jason Segel. Nerdstalgic explains at the very beginning of the video that Marshall hardly makes appearances in the last season. He mainly appears in flashbacks and in the car, so he was not on the same set as the other part of the group.
This caused a lack of interactions and stories with the other main characters. It seemed as if he had not been planned for the wedding season at all, only to then reappear at the end in the main story.
This was mainly due to the fact that Jason Segel probably did not have much time. As Nerdstalgic explains in the video, contracts for successful series are made for multiple years. The main cast of How I Met Your Mother received a 7-year contract; there are no longer contracts in the USA.
Long contracts have pros and cons. On one hand, the actors have a steady job and a fixed structure. On the other hand, they are bound to the project for several years.
In How I Met Your Mother, another problem arose: The contracts of the main cast lasted 7 years, i.e., about 8 seasons. However, the series went on until season 9. After season 8, the contracts had to be extended. For Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, Josh Radnor, and Alyson Hannigan, this was not a problem, but Jason Segel hesitated.
Did Marshall not want to return? As Deadline reported on December 21, 2012, Segel hesitated to take on the role for season 9 of the series. He actually wanted to drop out, but after 11 hours he agreed anyway.
He never gave a reason for that, but in an actor’s roundtable from the Hollywood Reporter, he explains how he felt at that time.
I believe there was a phase in my life and career, about the last few years of How I Met Your Mother, when things were going well in both film and television, and everyone was telling me how well it was going. I was really unhappy.
Jason Segel about his time during the last years of How I Met Your Mother (via YouTube)
Later he adds that he did not know what to do next after How I Met Your Mother. Although he achieved so much, he wondered if he was good enough for dramatic roles.
Even though he had a secure job with How I Met Your Mother, he wondered what else he could do. The series allowed him many film roles that also took time. During the filming of the last seasons, he played leading roles in The Muppets, Bad Teacher, and Friends with Benefits.
He was at a point where he could choose roles, which is why he had less time to shoot for How I Met Your Mother. This also explains why he mainly has scenes without the others. These scenes were filmed in advance.
The last season of How I Met Your Mother had many problems
Did Jason Segel really ruin the last season? Nerdstalgic only explains a small part of the problems of season 9 in his video. The scenes with Marshall seem out of place and fragmented, but the ninth season has more issues. After all, the series is not only about Marshall.
The entire season focuses on the wedding between Robin and Barney, only to make that irrelevant again in the finale. This is unsatisfying. Furthermore, it means that one has to remain narratively within the wedding frame.
The story with the mother also has problems. After 9 seasons, you finally get to know her, and little is done with her within the last season. This is also frustrating at times.
Jason Segel’s desire to be more than just Marshall Eriksen is understandable. As an actor, one wants to try oneself out and do more than just pure comedy. Many actors go through this development, especially in the comedy field. After How I Met Your Mother, Segel was able to try out more, and one of his best roles is in an Apple series: A great comedy series with “Marshall” from How I Met Your Mother is perfect for anyone missing Scrubs
