With WoW Patch 11.1.5, you can simply choose your epic desired loot

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 2 minutes

With Patch 11.1.5 for World of Warcraft, the so-called “Puzzling Cartel Chips” are coming to Azeroth. Those in possession of these tokens can simply choose their Epic from the current raid.

What are these chips? The new “Puzzling Cartel Chips” are coming to Azeroth with WoW Patch 11.1.5 and take over the function of the Dinars from the Shadowlands expansion (which already made a comeback in Dragonflight). In other words, if you own such a chip, you can exchange it for a specific loot item from the current raid “Liberation of Lorenhall”.

Originally, the “Puzzling Cartel Chips” were supposed to be tied to the faction “Garbagio Loyalty Club”. You would have received these with reputation levels 17 and 19 (via icy-veins.com). However, when they come into the game with the upcoming update, the reputation requirement will be removed, allowing all players equal access to the chips.

Trailer for the current WoW Patch 11.1:

Puzzling Cartel Chips – What else is known?

Where do I get the chips? That is now the big question, for which there unfortunately is no answer yet. It is also unclear whether Blizzard will introduce a cap for the new currency. Currently, it seems you can possess an unlimited number of “Puzzling Cartel Chips”.

In Season 4 of WoW: Dragonflight, players could earn one Dinar per week, connected with an increasing cap. It is quite possible that Blizzard will proceed similarly this time.

What is clear, however, is that once you own a chip, you must bring it to Ando. You can find the goblin in the instance “Liberation of Lorenhall”, and he will grant you access to your desired loot from the raid. Thus, the chips once again provide a nice way to fill gaps in one’s gear and mitigate the factor of bad luck.

What else does Patch 11.1.5 bring? The interim patch has, in addition to the “Puzzling Cartel Chips”, also the comeback of the Disturbing Visions, the new glory faction Nightfall, adjustments to the Children’s Week, and the boss event “Cunning Duos” in tow.

So far, there is no release date. However, the release candidate is already live on the PTR, which suggests a timely launch. Additionally, the Children’s Week is expected to start on April 28, 2025. Since the patch brings various adjustments for the event, it must be released beforehand.

A new hype has forced OpenAI into an unprecedented measure: adding a watermark

Claudio Niggenkemper Claudio Niggenkemper Reading time 2 minutes

Studio Ghibli is cult, no question about it. Now, the popularity of AI-generated images in the style of Studio Ghibli has prompted OpenAI to take action to prevent potential copyright infringements. The talk is about possible watermarks.

Why does OpenAI want to watermark AI images? According to a report from BleepingComputer, OpenAI is testing the integration of watermarks in images created with the ChatGPT-4o model. This decision follows the viral spread of images in the style of Studio Ghibli, raising concerns about copyright infringements.

The watermarks are intended to help identify the origin of the images and avoid potential legal issues.

How did they discover the new feature? The clue about the watermark was found not through an official announcement, but by developer Tibor Blaho (via X).

Tibor Blaho stumbled upon code snippets within the Android app of ChatGPT that indicate an automatic labeling feature. Every generated graphic is expected to be marked in some way that verifies its origin with OpenAI.

Screenshot via X

A kind of invisible watermark

How does the labeling of AI images work? According to information from BleepingComputer, OpenAI aims to make watermarks mandatory for images from free accounts at first. Users of “ChatGPT Plus” could export images without this marking – a model that strongly resembles stock photo services, where one has to pay for usage without a watermark.

The technical standard for labeling is also reportedly already in the works: OpenAI supports the so-called C2PA standard, which aims to provide a uniform, traceable tracking of image sources.

The C2PA is a consortium of major companies that has developed a common standard to make digital content such as photos or videos traceable.

The standard ensures that one can transparently see where a content comes from, who created it, and whether it has been edited – similar to a digital provenance certificate. This makes it clearer whether an image is real, manipulated, or generated (via C2PA).

Why is this such a big issue for OpenAI? Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Totoro – all artistic masterpieces from the hands of artists from the renowned anime developer Studio Ghibli – and that makes them legally sensitive. With this measure, OpenAI aims not only to avoid legal problems but also to establish trust in the technology.

According to an official document on the GPT-4o model, OpenAI notes that the AI can create works that “resemble the aesthetics of certain artists.” This is where a legally delicate line runs: between artistic inspiration and copyright infringement (via OpenAI).

Developer fired from his AAA dream job creates a game on Steam out of revenge – It now has 91% positive reviews

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

After being fired from his dream job at a AAA studio, a developer is now releasing his own game on Steam: This revenge trip is now receiving 91% positive reviews.

Which game is being talked about? The game is called Vindefiant and is a 2D jump’n’run with pixel graphics. You play as Alyx – a disgruntled ex-employee who becomes a supervillain after being fired and seeks revenge on his former boss.

The game is essentially based on a true event: Jordan Blake, the solo developer behind Vindefiant, was himself fired in February 2023. When a AAA studio offered him his dream job, he even dropped out of university – six months later, he was already let go (via PC Gamer).

After his dismissal, Blake worked on his own game, which has now been released on Steam.

You can see a trailer for Vindefiant here:

Start video
Vindefiant: In the new game on Steam, you play as an angry ex-employee who becomes a supervillain

Revenge seems to be worth it after all

In Vindefiant, you are the villain: Therefore, Alyx is not exactly gentle when it comes to dealing with enemies. You get rid of them using supernatural tentacles, which you use to grab opponents and swing through the levels – similar to Carrion.

Most players seem to enjoy the revenge trip: The game currently has 91% positive reviews on Steam. However, only 12 people have left a review so far, so this number should be taken with a grain of caution.

  • effira gives a thumbs up: “Vindefiant wears its inspirations on its sleeve – but that’s not a bad thing. I haven’t completed the last two levels yet (skill issue), but so far I have really enjoyed the game. […] A solid 7 [out of 10]” (via Steam)
  • Gingerdabomb also recommends the game: “I highly recommend the game if you like Carrion, People Playground, ragdoll games, or just fun platformers. For me, the difficulty level is perfectly balanced. Definitely a lot of fun!” (via Steam)

Twilight has written the only negative review of the game so far and states: “I love playing Carrion, so I bought this game. Unfortunately, the level design is terrible, the puzzles are a complete waste of time, and there are almost no hints. The controls are awful, and you waste a lot of time avoiding disgusting traps.” (via Steam)

Whether Vindefiant is something for you or not depends on what you are looking for: Instead of a dark power fantasy like in Carrion, here you can expect over-the-top tentacle action and some tricky puzzles. If that sounds just right for you, you can get Vindefiant on Steam for only €12.41 currently.

Event Quest in Monster Hunter Wilds helps you farm rare items – but you need to know how 

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 2 minutes

The current event quest in Monster Hunter Wilds offers an easy way to quickly get certain items, including one that is needed for powerful buffs. However, to farm effectively, you need to keep in mind something that many forget.

What material is it about? Many players are currently looking for an effective way to farm the material “Nourishing Extract.” It is required to craft strong demon potions or armor skin, which buff your hunter for up to 50 minutes in addition to the meal consumed, giving you increased attack and defense.

However, it is not so easy to acquire, as you cannot farm or buy it directly. A player has now discovered that the current event quest “Pain and Cruelty” is excellent for addressing this problem – if you pay attention to a few things.

The giant fluffy chicken also has great items for you:

Start video
So findet ihr das flauschige Huhn in Monster Hunter Wilds

Effective grind with “Lucky Meal”

What do you need to consider? As user ryuujiryuu points out in his thread on Reddit, it is easy to farm the material “Nourishing Extract” by hunting Guardian Doshaguma. For the 70 examples shown in his screenshot, he completed the current event quest repeatedly for about 30 minutes.

Beforehand, he strengthened himself with a meal of Kunafa that grants the buff “Lucky Meal” – a buff that should generally not be missing on any farming run. You can also create your own meal with this buff or exchange vouchers for one at the Great Site. The buff causes you to receive more materials at the end of a hunt.

Then he joined other players and helped them complete the event quest, saving additional time.

Why this quest in particular? Nourishing Extract is primarily obtained from Guardian Doshagumas and Guardian Volcano Odogarons, so you could theoretically just hunt those two for the material. However, by completing the event quest, you also earn a bunch of hunter rank points and level up more effectively.

Additionally, many hunters are currently completing this quest, making it easy to find teammates or join others already fighting for a few minutes through the emergency signal. This way, one can quickly and effectively farm the material.

You can still take advantage of the event quest until tomorrow morning; then it will rotate again. So you should make the best use of the remaining time. If you don’t have time today, you don’t have to be sad, because the tactic works just as well with normal monsters – though without the nice side effect of the hunter rank points.

Capcom has already confirmed that past event quests will return after a while. For example, the event quest “Tongue Twister” will return starting April 16, where you can farm valuable armor spheres.

The 10 strongest Disney villains of all time in the power ranking

Linda Baumgartl Linda Baumgartl Reading time 7 minutes

Villains are at least as iconic in Disney-movies as their heroic counterparts. But which of them would have the upper hand in an ultimate showdown of villains? We have ranked the 10 most powerful Disney villains based on their strength.

How was the ranking created? Disney’s repertoire of villains is vast. There are now over 120 morally ambiguous characters. We want to focus mainly on the more classic figures. Therefore, the following restrictions apply:

  • only film characters
  • only first parts
  • no Pixar films
Start video
Mufasa: The Lion King – German trailer for the prequel to the Disney hit

Place 10: Madam Mim

Madam Mim
  • Film: The Sword in the Stone
  • Abilities: Magic, shapeshifting, manipulation

The old witch Madam Mim comes from the now also aging film “The Sword in the Stone” from 1963. In this Disney version of King Arthur, Mim is the main antagonist of Merlin, the famous wizard.

As befits an evil witch, she delights in the suffering of others. She is cunning, dishonest, and naturally magically gifted. She masters smaller tricks, can fly on a broomstick, and even teleport. But her main strength lies in transformation. She can take on almost any shape, whether that of a beautiful lady, a small mouse, or a huge dragon.

Madam Mim considered herself the greatest and most powerful sorceress of all time. However, she was quickly put in her place by Merlin. Overall, the quirky old witch was powerful. But she probably could not compete with the sheer destructive power of the other candidates on this list.

Which MMORPGs are also fun to play alone? The 7 best online role-playing games for solo players 2025

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 17 minutes

Online RPGs are actually designed to be played with as many players as possible. However, more and more players now want to achieve success in online worlds alone and do not necessarily want to join a group or guild. Find out here in which MMORPGs you will have the most fun as a solo player.

Even the most extroverted team player sometimes simply has no desire for other people in online RPGs. And some gamers just enjoy the gameplay of online games, even though they are very reluctant to play with other players.

For those people, fortunately, many MMORPGs offer content that promises fun even without annoying teammates. Here you will meet seven MMOs that are particularly well suited for solo players.

Update on April 8, 2025: We have updated and revised this article for 2025.

Rank 7 – New World – More fun without teammates

Release: September 28, 2021 | Platforms: PC | Payment model: Buy2Play | New World website

What is New World? New World is the first MMORPG from Amazon Game Studios. Originally, it was intended as an open-world survival RPG set in South America. However, this changed radically during development, with the addition of fantasy elements and magic.

New World has become an MMORPG focused on PvE and PvP with a dynamic action combat system, a large open world, and sandbox elements. Additionally, there are housing and a comprehensive crafting system.

Gameplay trailer for the launch of New World Aeternum:

New World Aeternum: Well-Staged Gameplay Trailer for Launch

New World – Feeling like in Gothic and Co.

Here are the highlights of New World: New World reminds of the legendary games in the Gothic and Risen series. You find yourself stranded alone on a strange island full of mysteries and must later prove yourself in battle between opposing factions.

Exploring the world is a major highlight. Behind every hill and forest are new secrets and treasures to be found. Especially artisans will find full satisfaction here, as you improve with each activity the more often you do it.

So, those who venture into the wilderness to chop down trees can do this for hours and become a true master in lumberjacking. Additionally, there is an original combat system that allows you to aim and dodge actively.

Sandbox content invites solo play

That’s why it’s often more fun alone: While all these activities can also be done in a team, New World is still unnecessarily cumbersome in many group contents to this day. Especially the addictive crafting and collecting escapades are easier and better done alone.

It is truly fulfilling to set out as a lone explorer and explore the game world. Along the way, you defeat enemies, search for special resources, leisurely harvest them, and eventually return home to craft all the stuff you’ve gathered.

In addition to discovering the New World, a quite exciting background story also gradually unfolds, the staging of which was significantly improved with the Aeternum update in October 2024. As dry and boring as many quests in New World still play, it is so much fun to uncover new facets of the overall story.

new-world-arenas

New World Plague Doctor Set Title

The New World is constantly changing

That’s why something is always happening: New World offers not only solo fun and PvE challenges for groups but also a complex PvP system in which players from the three factions constantly fight for ownership in the world. Depending on which side currently holds an area, things change here for players.

This means that even as a solo player, you are constantly aware of the changes brought about by the conflicts in the game world. This can be particularly enjoyable as a solo player since you are part of a living world, even if you do not aim to actively participate in its change.

Conclusion: New World is not only aimed at PvP fans but also at fans of solo RPGs like Gothic or Risen. So, if you’re all about exploration, crafting, and delving into a mystical story, you will surely have a lot of joy here as a solo player – and even more now than at launch, thanks to the improvements from New World Aeternum.

There are many shooters. Some spare your hardware, so you can see as many frames per second as possible in PvP battles, while others want to stage as epic battles with gunfire and explosions. Here we show you shooters that are above all: pretty.

How is this list composed? The list is a personal selection of the author, taking into account suggestions from the editorial team. It includes relatively new games that are beautiful because they have modern and realistic graphics, as well as games that may be a bit older technically, but impress visually due to their graphic style or the staging of the game world.

In 1977, the FBI confiscated a student’s homework

Yana Yana Reading time 2 minutes

In 1977, a Princeton student designed a detailed guide on how to build an atomic bomb as part of a university project. What began as a scientific paper ultimately led to an FBI intervention and garnered significant media attention.

Who is behind the project? John Aristotle Phillips was 21 years old when he worked on an academic project in 1977. He was a physics student at Princeton University. As reported by the magazine Xataka, he designed the blueprints for a functioning atomic bomb as part of an assignment. A project that became known as “How to Build Your Own Atomic Bomb.”

Anyone who enjoys navigating worlds shaped by nuclear disasters will find Atomfall to be a delight. Here you can see the trailer for the new action-survival game.

From the Library to the Table: The Design of an Atomic Bomb

How did the project come about? Phillips wanted to stand out from the crowd. His professor, Freeman Dyson, had assigned the task of developing a difficult project to test one’s own capabilities. Phillips seized the opportunity to propose something unusual: he wanted to build an atomic bomb using public knowledge.

Using materials from the US government, including unclassified reports and technical documents, as well as information from the Princeton library, he gathered everything he needed to understand how an atomic bomb works. After months of research, he compiled a 40-page document. A detailed blueprint for an atomic bomb. The nuclear scientist Dr. Frank Chilton described the design as “practically guaranteed to work.”

How did the project become a success? Phillips went beyond pure research and even contacted the chemical company DuPont to find out what materials would be required for the implosion necessary to trigger a nuclear chain reaction. With a simple inquiry and without any classified knowledge, he obtained information that allowed him to identify the crucial explosive for his bomb.

Although he lacked uranium or plutonium, which would have been necessary for actual functionality, the theoretical plan could have created a bomb that was about one-third as powerful as the Hiroshima bomb. To illustrate his theory, he even built a non-working model in his room.

A Knowledge-driven Project with Consequences

What happened after the submission of the paper? After John Phillips submitted his work, he received the highest grade, an “A.” However, the project quickly spread by word of mouth and drew the attention of professionals and the media. The media (via Google News) reported on his project and Phillips became known as “The A-Bomb Kid.”

Coverage increased when alleged Pakistani scientists offered him money in exchange for the paper. By this time, his project had already been confiscated. Due to the widespread attention, ultimately the FBI and the CIA took notice of the case. They confiscated both Phillips’s work and the model, classifying the contained information as confidential.

What happened to Phillips? After the incidents, Phillips did not become a scientist but rather an anti-nuclear activist. He used his fame to raise awareness of the dangers of nuclear power. In his book “Mushroom: The True Story of the A-Bomb Kid” (ISBN: 978-0688033514), published in 1979 with David Michaelis, he shared his experiences.

In 1999, Microsoft released a simple but brilliant cable that completely changed how you play PC games today

Claudio Niggenkemper Claudio Niggenkemper Reading time 2 minutes

At the end of the 1990s, a simple USB-to-PS/2 cable adapter brought about a significant change – helping to mark the end of the era of traditional ball mice.

What made the adapter so special? This adapter enabled the connection between USB and PS/2 ports. Notably, it worked purely mechanically, without electronic circuits.

As TechSpot reports in a detailed retrospective, the trick was that the conversion between the USB and PS/2 protocols did not occur in the adapter itself, but in the device – in the mouse or keyboard, for example. This is comparable to a travel adapter that merely changes the plug shape but does not transform voltage, according to TechSpot.

An example of the use of the adapted hardware is the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer, one of the first optical mice without a mechanical ball.

In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?

Microsoft as a Pioneer

How did Microsoft influence this development? Microsoft capitalized on the benefits of the USB standard with the IntelliMouse Explorer, but also offered compatibility with older PS/2 ports through the adapter. The Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer was one of the first devices to benefit from this new flexibility: an optical mouse that functioned for the first time without a mechanical ball.

Microsoft included the adapter right away – allowing users to connect their new USB mouse to older PCs with a PS/2 port. The strategy paid off: the IntelliMouse Explorer became a success and the technology replaced traditional ball mice from desks worldwide within a few years.

The tedious cleaning of mouse balls and dusty rollers thus became a thing of the past.

In Hamburg they waited 8 hours in line for a €9.50 döner, but influencers push ahead

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

On the weekend, a kebab shop opened in Hamburg: “Honest Kebab” by Holle21614, a well-known German food influencer. The crowd at the Europapassage was enormous, especially since there was both a kebab for €9.50 inside the shop and a kebab for 1 cent in street sales. But as a “regular” person, one needed patience.

This is the situation: The YouTuber Holle21614 is one of the biggest fast food testers in Germany. His most successful videos have titles like “I found the best kebab in Germany,” “Huge queues at the launch of the €3 Aldi kebab,” or “The best kebab in the world.”

Like many YouTubers, he enjoys collaborating with other influencers to achieve synergy effects and reach new audience groups. He can be seen alongside MontanaBlack, the heroic AbuGoku, Bernd Zehrer, and many other fast food connoisseurs.

For several weeks now, influencer Holle21614 has been promoting his own kebab “Honest Kebab.” The story behind it is: Holle has tested so many kebabs that with all his experience, he is opening a shop in Hamburg where there should be an incredibly good kebab.

MontanaBlack occasionally treats himself to vegetarian fast food:

Extremely long queue in front of the kebab shop

That was the event: The opening of his shop took place this past Sunday, April 6, on a sales Sunday.

In the Europapassage, Holle sold his normal kebab for €9.50. In street sales, the kebab was available for 1 cent.

This attracted such a long queue that the videos of the waiting people seemed absurdly long. People stood there for up to 8 hours to get a cheap kebab.

MeinMMO author Johanna Heuck gave up after about four hours out of frustration because, according to her quite annoyed-sounding statements, she was overwhelmed by a horde of students and influencers kept cutting in line.

Golden card for influencers, frustration for customers without connections

How could influencers cut the line? Influencers apparently did not have to wait in line, but received a golden card that guaranteed them access to the coveted meat supply.

Moreover, according to eyewitness reports, people who stood at the front of the queue let their friends in, leading to frustration for the hungry ordinary citizens.

No golden card was surely given to “The Militant Vegan”: She used the event for a protest against the “murder meat stall.”

That it was a kind of meeting of the German influencer scene can be seen from the fact that IRL streamer Adam “SklyineTV” was at the event and took a jab at the BILD newspaper.

With all sympathy: The €9.50 that Holle charges for a kebab completely throws the whole price arithmetic of games on Steam out of balance. In fact, numerous headlines for game recommendations now need to be adjusted; the real problem is: For the price of a kebab, you can currently get 100 hours of the best role-playing game content on Steam

Pokémon GO: Spotlight Hour Today Brings Meditite and a Sending Bonus

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

The next spotlight hour is coming up in Pokémon GO. We will show you which Pokémon is waiting for you and which bonus is active.

What kind of event is this? The spotlight hour is a 60-minute event that takes place every Tuesday in Pokémon GO. You can expect at least one Pokémon in the spotlight, along with a bonus.

The next spotlight hour features Meditie. The monster from the 3rd generation has the Fighting and Psychic types. With Meditalis, it also has an evolution.

Spotlight Hour on April 08 – Start Time and Bonuses

When does the spotlight hour start? As always, the spotlight hour begins at 6:00 PM. It ends an hour later at 7:00 PM.

Which bonus is active? If you send Pokémon to the Professor during the event, you will be rewarded with double the amount of candy. The bonus applies not only to Meditie but to all Pokémon.

Can you catch a shiny Meditie? Yes, with a bit of luck, you might encounter the shiny variant of Meditie.

Is the spotlight hour worth it? If you plan to use Meditalis in raids, you might want to stay away from this. The Pokémon is not suited for this and is not among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.

In the battle leagues, Meditalis can at least place in the mid-range in the Super League. Its deployment is conceivable, although there are also better Pokémon here that you should rely on.

If you have many monsters that have piled up in your boxes and need to clear space, the event offers the optimal opportunity for that. With the double amount of candy you receive for sending them, you can gain some additional candies here.

If you tag the corresponding Pokémon in advance, you can send them in no time and have more time to catch Meditie during the event.

When it comes to the most exciting and ambitious MMORPGs of 2025, Chrono Odyssey must not be missed. After a long silence, there is finally a sign of life from the developers.

What kind of sign of life is it? Based on information from the regular financial reports from the publisher Kakao Games, we still assume that Chrono Odyssey is supposed to be released in 2025 for PC and consoles. For this to work, the team from Chrono Studio needs to get moving, start larger tests, and kick off the PR machinery.

And indeed, there are now two signs of life from the MMORPG after a long silence. On the one hand, the YouTuber Kanon, who loves to dive into online role-playing games, has received permission from the developers to confirm two things in his new video on YouTube:

  • Yes, he was allowed to play the new MMORPG from Kakao Games and Chrono Studio.
  • Chrono Odyssey is supposed to be released “very soon”.

All other details are likely still under a confidentiality agreement (short: NDA). On the other hand, there was a new developer post on Steam for the first time since August 2024. Since this is marked “#1”, further updates should follow in the coming weeks and months.

The Time is Coming Soon

What do the developers reveal? In February 2025, a focus group test for Chrono Odyssey was conducted again. It should have helped to further optimize the finishing touches and uncover one or two issues. The average playtime of the testers was apparently 680 minutes.

As Kanon explains, the developers also state that “very soon” it will be time to finally present Chrono Odyssey in detail. The next update is supposed to bring “exciting news”. MeinMMO will of course keep you updated.

What do I need to know about Chrono Odyssey? The project was first announced in late 2020. About 120 developers are working on the game. The core features of the action MMORPG are as follows:

  • The world of Setera is supposed to be not only large, seamless, diverse, and open, but also constantly changing – for example, due to the seasons and weather events.
  • The changes are triggered by time travel, as you can switch between the past, present, and future. The transition is supposed to happen seamlessly in the game world – similar to the travel between the two worlds in Lords of the Fallen from 2023.
  • In Chrono Odyssey, you can choose between six combat classes: Paladin, Swordsman, Berserker, Assassin, Ranger, and Sorceress. Each class is supposed to have multiple weapon types available that you can freely switch between in combat.
  • In combat, regardless of your class choice, you can manipulate space and time with the so-called Chronoprotector.
  • Thanks to the numerous customization options of the character creation system, player characters and NPCs are supposed to look as individual and unique as possible.
  • The developers promise dungeon and raid challenges. There should also be PvP content.
  • There will be gathering and crafting activities. You can take on tasks like harvesting, logging, mining, and skinning. The resources can be processed into equipment and consumables.
  • Based on the previous trailers, Chrono Odyssey is likely to be one of the most beautiful MMORPGs of the coming years.

We now know how a game from the Nintendo Switch 2 tastes, even without licking it

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 2 minutes

The Nintendo Switch 2 receives significant upgrades compared to its predecessor. However, this does not apply to the game cartridges, as they taste just as bad as before.

Why do the games taste bad? In an interview with GameSpot, Senior Director Takuhiro Dohta explained that the cartridges containing Nintendo Switch games are coated with a substance that tastes extremely nasty. This has been the case with predecessor cartridges as well.

They are coated with denatonium benzoate – a substance that farmers use to deter animals from eating their crops. While it is not harmful to put it in your mouth, it will cause you to spit it out as quickly as possible. The cartridges receive this coating so that children and animals do not accidentally eat them.

Although they haven’t tested the new cartridges themselves, they have licked the cartridges of the first Nintendo Switch, and they passed their test. This is also confirmed by Nintendo’s Group Manager, Kouichi Kawamoto: “When the Nintendo Switch was developed, I licked it (the cartridges) once, but never again. I can’t believe other people would try that.”

“I can’t wait to conduct a taste test of the Switch 1 and 2 cartridges!”

These statements have led to general amusement in the community via Reddit. However, many also suspect that it will quickly become widespread and turn into a kind of challenge. Most take it humorously:

  • ContinuumGuy: “The most important of all Switch 2 news from last week and the foreseeable future, I’m sure of that.”
  • chiefminestrone: “I can’t wait to conduct a taste test of the Switch 1 and 2 cartridges!”
  • MabariWhoreHound: “Children do it out of joy of discovery and to relieve boredom. Adults do it to feel something, even if it’s just brief moments of disgust and malicious triumph at the same time.”
  • PaulFThumpkins: “I lick every game directly from the packaging. Honestly, it should taste worse. Do it with a flavor I can’t stand so that I stop, Nintendo. The ball is in your court. I’ll lick it again.”
  • ThePopeofHell: “I’m sure there will be a TikTok challenge.”
  • DrNick1221: “Honestly, I’m pretty sure that everyone I know who has a Switch (myself included) has tested that.”

Some were looking forward to a sharper taste given the new red color of the cartridges – somewhere in the direction of cayenne pepper. Others also refer to the increased new price of the games, suggesting they should definitely taste more expensive than those from the first generation.

Diablo 4 Spiked Salve Spiritborn: The Best Leveling Build

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 3 minutes

The Spiked Salvo Build for the Spiritborn in Diablo 4 is suitable for leveling and will quickly get you into the endgame after a rebuild.

What can the class do? The Spiritborn was introduced with the Vessel of Hatred expansion in Diablo 4 and has emerged as the strongest class at release. The Spiritborn are ultimate predators from the jungles of Nahantu. They also have a connection to the “Spirit Guardians” and can call them to use their skills.

To level your Spiritborn quickly and easily, we show you an effective leveling build that allows you to push your hero solo as well.

Update, April 8, 2025: The guide was originally published in November 2024 and has been updated and adjusted.

Level Build for the Spiritborn: Skills and Spirits

The best skills for leveling: We opted for a Spiked Salvo Build for leveling that you can later rebuild into an endgame build for the torment levels in Diablo 4. For the leveling build up to level 60, you need the following skills:

  • Basic Skills:
  • Improved Rocksplitter 1/5
  • Core Skills:
  • Beneficial Spiked Salvo 5/5
  • Energetic 3/3
  • Speed 3/3
  • Focus Skills:
  • Restorative Sailing 1/5
  • Restorative Devastator 5/5
  • Focal Point 1/3
  • Top Predator 3/3
  • Mitigation 3/3
  • Defensive Skills:
  • Resilience 1/3
  • Driven 1/3
  • Patient Protection 1/3
  • Promising 3/3
  • Potency Skills:
  • Invasive Raging Claw 1/5
  • Hardened 2/3
  • Brilliance 3/3
  • Acceleration 3/3
  • Powerful 3/3
  • Ultimate Skills:
  • Transcendent Seeker
  • Resolution 3/3
  • Spiritual Resonance 3/3
  • Dominion 3/3
  • Preservation 1/3
  • Complexity 1/3
  • Central Passive Skill:
  • Critical Hits

These spirits you choose: The spirits represent the special class mechanic of the Spiritborn. You receive the class quest at level 15. After that, you choose the spirit in the “Hall of Spirits” to which you pledge loyalty, granting you a special bonus for the character as a whole, but also for all skills. For a second bonus, you select another spirit.

  • 1st Spirit: Eagle
  • 2nd Spirit: Jaguar

With the Eagle as the first spirit, you receive a bonus to your movement speed. Additionally, you hurl storm feathers and make enemies vulnerable when you escape. All your skills are now also Eagle skills. The Jaguar spirit increases your ferocity.

You can see a possible Spiritborn build here:

Start video
Diablo 4: This is what a Jaguar-Eagle build from the Spirit Born in Vessel of Hatred looks like

Level Build for the Spiritborn: Runes and Mercenaries

These runes are suitable for the build: You can insert runes into your gear with two sockets, such as in your weapon or helm. The best options are:

  • PocQue: Summons Earthen Bulwark of the Druid, providing you with a barrier
  • XolJah: Replaces your next escape with the Sorceress’ teleport, making you unstoppable

Good alternatives:

  • Ohm: You invoke the Barbarian’s Warcry, increasing your damage
  • Xal: You gain maximum life
  • Wat: You gain Horrific Aging of the Necromancer to slow enemies and reduce their damage
  • Mot: You gain Dark Veil of the Hunter

These mercenaries are suitable for the build: The mercenaries that came with Vessel of Hatred support you with healing and attacks in battles. There are a total of four different mercenaries that you will meet and unlock throughout the campaign.

For the build, we recommend Raheir as a mercenary and Varyana as a combat reinforcement:

  • Raheir:
  • Shield Charge: Deals damage, taunts enemies, and fortifies you
  • Raheir’s Protection: Grants you armor
  • Crater: Deals damage, pulls enemies in, and stuns them
  • Call of the Ironwolf: Buffs your core skills
  • Varyana:
  • Earthbreaker: Deals massive damage and repeatedly slams enemies down
  • Triggered when you use a skill in combat

von Nicole Wakulczyk

Level Build for the Spiritborn: Gameplay

How does the build play? With the Spiked Salvo leveling build, you focus on Eagle skills and primarily attack from a distance. With your core skill, the Spiked Salvo, you fire feathers that spread out and pierce through enemies. Your skills and the Eagle spirit help you make enemies vulnerable and increase your movement speed.

With the “Bouncing Aspect,” the feathers of the Spiked Salvo explode on the enemy and return, dealing damage as well. “Devastator” serves as a source of damage and also buffs your life regeneration.

The “Raging Claw” skill grants you mobility in the early game. You quickly slice through enemies, dealing damage. “Sailing” is also one of your mobility skills, as it allows you to swing into the air, make enemies vulnerable, and dive down on them with an attack.

The Spiked Salvo build is also one of the strongest builds in the endgame of Diablo 4. How to play it later on and what glyphs and uniques you need, can be found in our guide.

The Spiritborn not only excels due to the enormous damage it can deal but especially through its speed. And the faster you move, the quicker you can take down enemies and farm XP. When it comes to leveling, there are various ways to gather XP and reach the maximum level of 60.

Do you want to defeat Kopplosio in Pokémon GO? We will show you the best counters to face Kopplosio in raids.

Switch owners have been struggling with an annoying error for years, but Nintendo says: The Switch 2 will not have Hall effect sticks

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Stick drift is one of the most annoying problems when playing with a controller. The Switch’s Joy-Cons are particularly affected by this issue. However, Nintendo has now stated that the new Switch 2 will not have Hall-effect sticks.

What kind of error is this? Most users of a Switch are likely familiar with the problem: You play with your controller and feel like you’re always drifting to the left, even though you just want to move straight ahead. This is the dreaded Joy-Con drift. The problems are so widespread, that you can exchange broken Joy-Cons for free at Nintendo.

There have been calls for a long time to improve the Joy-Cons or at least equip the new Joy-Cons with better components.

Nintendo has now confirmed to the English magazine NintendoLife that no Hall-effect sticks are installed in the Joy-Cons of the Switch 2. Nate Bihldorff, Senior Vice President of Product Development & Publishing at Nintendo of America, explained:

The Joy-Con 2 controllers have been completely redesigned. They are not Hall-effect sticks, but they feel really good.

Start video
Nintendo showcases the Switch 2 for the first time in a trailer

Using Potentiometers, Hall-effect sticks are considered the better solution

Why are there problems? This is mainly due to the potentiometer used in the Joy-Cons, which regulates electrical resistance. However, these parts need to make physical contact. With every movement of the joystick, the part wears down, eventually leading to stick drift.

What is the alternative? Players and manufacturers often mention Hall-effect sticks as an alternative. The advantage of Hall-effect joysticks is that this component uses magnets and electrical conductors. No physical contact is made. Therefore, Hall-effect joysticks do not wear out as quickly and are often marketed as more durable. This generally makes controllers a bit more expensive, but they last longer.

What other alternatives are there? The so-called TMR sticks, which use tunnel magnetic resistance. Here, changes are measured using a magnetic field. This also avoids physical friction. However, TMR sticks are considerably more expensive than sticks that use Hall-effect technology.

What technology do the Joy-Cons for the Switch 2 use? Nintendo has not provided further details about the technology used. It is unknown whether Nintendo continues to rely on the controversial potentiometers or has switched to modern TMR sticks. Many hope that Nintendo will finally address the notorious joystick drift issues with the Switch 2.

Pokémon GO: Muramura Counters – The 20 Best Attackers in the Raid Guide

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

The best counters against Muramura in Pokémon GO in the guide. We show you the best attackers and movesets. With these, you can defeat Muramura in raids.

What kind of Pokémon is Muramura? Muramura is an Ultra Beast from the 7th generation. It has the types Rock and Steel and cannot evolve.

We show you which Pokémon are the best counters against Muramura and which types it is particularly vulnerable to (type effectiveness).

Defeating Muramura in Raid with these counters

  1. Mega-Lucario with Power Wave and Aura Sphere
  2. Proto-Groudon with Mud Shot and Abyss Blade
  3. Crypto-Groudon with Mud Shot and Abyss Blade
  4. Lucario with Power Wave and Aura Sphere
  5. Mega-Krookodile with Mud Shot and Earth Powers
  6. Mega-Scizor with Counter and Close Combat
  7. Terrakion with Double Kick and Sanctuary Blade
  8. Crypto-Conkeldurr with Counter and Dynamic Punch
  9. Crypto-Krookodile with Mud Shot and Earth Powers
  10. Crypto-Stunfisk with Mud Shot and Fire Sand
  11. Crypto-Machamp with Counter and Dynamic Punch
  12. Keldeo with Low Kick and Sanctuary Blade
  13. Mega-Blaziken with Counter and Focus Punch
  14. Demeteros (Therian Form) with Mud Shot and Desert Hurricane
  15. Crypto-Mamoswine with Mud Shot and Horsepower
  16. Crypto-Hariyama with Power Wave and Dynamic Punch
  17. Mega-Gallade with Low Kick and Close Combat
  18. Groudon with Mud Shot and Abyss Blade
  19. Crypto-Rhyperior with Mud Shot and Earthquake
  20. Mega-Alakazam with Counter and Focus Punch

Weaknesses of Muramura: Due to the types Rock and Steel that Muramura possesses, there are three types you should use against the Pokémon. Attacks from the types Fighting and Ground are particularly effective as Muramura has double weakness against these types.

Against attacks from the type Water, Muramura at least has a single weakness. So if you don’t have enough attackers of the types Fighting and Ground, you can fall back on Water Pokémon if necessary. However, you should prioritize the other two types.

How many trainers are needed? If you bring very good counter Pokémon for Muramura that are at a corresponding high level, you can complete the raid with just two trainers. However, this number of trainers still makes it a tough battle.

If your setup is not optimal or if you want to be sure, you should have more trainers with you. If you want to plan your raid teams in advance, our tips for organizing your raid teams could help you.

Players of Path of Exile 2 Point to Competitors Who Do One Thing Clearly Better After Season Flop

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Path of Exile 2, the frustration with the new season “Dawn of the Hunt” is high. Players do not understand exactly in which direction the ARPG is developing and instead point to Last Epoch, which does one thing much better.

What do players demand? After the rocky start of the first season of Path of Exile 2, players no longer understand in which direction the developers want to go with the ARPG. On Reddit, players’ frustration is unleashed, wanting the developers to explain to them where the journey is headed.

The Reddit user Pluristan summarizes the mood and demands: “GGG [developers of PoE2], show us how you play PoE 2 […] so we finally know what you really want and what to expect from us.”

More specifically, players demand a developer livestream in which they show the fans how to play the ARPG properly and where the gameplay vision behind it is explained. A competitor of Path of Exile 2 is taking a better approach here.

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

The Look at the Competition

What is the competition doing? The starting point of the new season “Dawn of the Hunt” of Path of Exile 2 has caused a lot of trouble for ARPG fans in the past. The release date of the new season of Path of Exile 2 almost collided with that of Last Epoch, which was problematic for players wanting to switch between the two games. They would have had to choose between the two ARPGs.

In the end, the developers of Last Epoch admitted defeat and postponed their release. After the rocky start of “Dawn of the Hunt,” players’ eyes are now drifting back to Last Epoch. While players finally want clarity from Path of Exile 2, developer Mike Weicker regularly streams on Twitch on Fridays.

There, he not only plays his ARPG, but also answers fans’ questions in the chat and explains the mechanics, visions, and backgrounds of Last Epoch. This is also appreciated by genre fans, who want the developers of Path of Exile 2 to take a page out of this book.

Fallout Season 2: Release, Trailer, Stream, Cast – Everything about the continuation of the hit series on Amazon Prime

Fabienne Kissel Fabienne Kissel Reading time 3 minutes

The 1st season of the Fallout series on Amazon Prime was extremely successful. A 2nd season will be released later this year. We at MeinMMO will reveal everything we know so far about the continuation.

Update: The following post was adjusted on 20.05.2025 and supplemented with new information.

What is Fallout as a series? The Fallout series on Amazon Prime is based on the popular video game series by Bethesda. The plot takes place in the year 2296, after the events of all previous games. The main character is Lucy, a resident of Vault 33, who leaves her safe bunker to save her father. In doing so, she explores the post-apocalyptic America around Los Angeles and encounters the survivors of this new world.

The series tells its own, new story and does not repeat the events of the games. Nevertheless, it stays true to the typical Fallout feel. Fallout is one of the most successful series on Amazon Prime. MeinMMO author Christoph Waldboth will tell you what makes the Fallout series so good without spoiling the story.

How many episodes does Fallout Season 2 have?

It is still unclear how many episodes Season 2 of Fallout will have. Season 1 consists of 8 episodes, each lasting between about 45 and 75 minutes.

What is the age rating for Fallout Season 2?

The Fallout series is rated for ages 16 and up and is therefore aimed at adults and teenagers. It is not suitable for children. This will probably remain the same with Season 2.

Whether he actually becomes part of the cast remains to be seen.

Fallout Season 2: Plot – What is it about?

Season 2 of Fallout will pick up where Season 1 left off. It sends the Vault resident Lucy, the Ghoul, and Knight Maximus among others to New Vegas, where they will search for more Vault-Tec members. After Lucy learns what her father and the ruthless Vault-Tec have done, she tries to get to the bottom of the matter.

What exactly the season will be about is still unknown. We will update the article and keep you informed. You can definitely look forward to more monsters, more areas, and more factions – Jonathan Nolan revealed this and more in an interview.

CoD Warzone: Kilo 141 Loadout – The Best Attachments for the Assault Rifle

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 3 minutes

In Warzone, the assault rifle “Kilo 141” was introduced with Season 3 and is a strong choice for the battle royale mode. We will show you strong setups with attachments.

On April 2, 2025, Season 3 of CoD: Black Ops 3 started and brought a new Battle Pass and new weapons to the game. The day after, Verdansk returned to Warzone – the most popular map of the battle royale, where it all began in 2020.

What kind of weapon is this? One of the weapons that has proven to be a strong choice immediately after the launch is the Kilo 141. The assault rifle is particularly suitable for medium distances and can be combined with an SMG. We will show you two setups that will help you eliminate your opponents in Verdansk.

The Kilo 141 is a fully automatic assault rifle with good handling and a stable rate of fire. Back then, the Kilo 141 was a popular choice in Verdansk and according to wzstats.gg, it is still one of the best weapons for the battle royale mode.

According to content creator and Warzone expert Stylerz, the assault rifle can also be played well without a scope to utilize an additional attachment slot (via YouTube). However, if you still want to use a scope, he recommends the “3x Scope Willis,” which you can take instead of a grip.

These attachments are needed in Warzone:

  • Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolithic)
  • Barrel: Barrel with Progressive Twist
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
  • Magazine: Magazine Extension II
  • Grip: Quickdraw Grip

What makes the setup strong? With the attachments, you shoot almost “on the spot,” according to Stylerz, meaning you have a well-controlled recoil. This does not change with the “3x Scope Willis.” The suppressor increases range and bullet speed – the latter is further enhanced by the barrel. The Vertical Foregrip increases recoil control while the grip allows you to aim faster.

Warzone: Loadout for the Kilo 141 with 8 Attachments

If you prefer to play with 8 attachments and even less recoil, the following attachments are recommended by wzstats.gg. Please note that for this build, you need to equip the “Gunfighter” wildcard to be able to equip 8 instead of only 5 attachments. You will unlock the wildcard at player level 33.

  • Optic: Volzhskiy Reflex (unlocked through the AK-74)
  • Muzzle: Compensator
  • Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
  • Magazine: Extended Mag II
  • Rear Grip: Commando Grip
  • Stock: Heavy Stock
  • Fire Mods: Recoil Springs

With the wildcard, you can only equip a pistol or a rocket launcher as a secondary weapon. So grab another weapon and equip it instead as soon as you land in Verdansk – or buy a second loadout drop with another weapon and combine both.
