I wanted to feel like a pirate, but a new survival game on Steam turned me into stranded Tom Hanks

A new survival game with pirates attracted over 22,000 players with a demo on Steam. Many of them are absolutely thrilled. MeinMMO author Ody also played the demo but felt more like Tom Hanks from Cast Away than like Jack Sparrow.

Windrose is a new survival game set during the heyday of pirates. In it, we take on the role of a sword-wielding pirate who battles through an open world alone or in co-op with friends – both on land and at sea.

Windrose seems to offer much of what pirate fans had hoped for from Skull and Bones: onshore excursions and naval battles with real boarding maneuvers, where you fight on board your ship, for example. Here, however, classic survival elements are also added. 

On Steam, there’s a demo for Windrose that has already made quite a splash: On Sunday, there were 22,396 players in the game at the same time (according to steamdb.info). Most of them are already satisfied – 93 % of the 3,468 reviews are positive (as of February 23, 10:59 AM). It hurts even more that the pirate adventure hasn’t hooked me yet.

Here you can see a trailer for Windrose:

Windrose: New survival game with pirates gets a demo on Steam

Quickly boarded and left on a deserted island

After creating our own pirate in the character editor and saving a game, we dive into the action: We wake up below deck on our own ship, which is currently under attack by other pirates.

On our way up, we first fight our way through the enemy crew. The “Soulslite” battles, as the developers call them, didn’t quite click for me. This may be due to the fact that the combat tutorial only tells you which buttons you should press. Some mechanics, such as the small shield symbols under the health bar, are not explained at all.

Once on deck, we find a strangely glowing artifact. Before we can take a closer look at it, we are shot down by the enemy captain. The artifact merges with our character, we are thrown overboard, and we end up on a small, deserted island.

What looked fresh in the first trailers and screenshots is a rather dull survival game in the first minutes of the demo: We pick up stones, wood, and other resources from the ground. For food, we hunt the other inhabitants of our small island – Dodos and wild boars.

What is a pirate without his ship?

The environment looks beautifully Caribbean and we are dressed like pirates, yet the feeling of actually playing a pirate faded away fairly quickly for me. I spent the first minutes doing exactly the same things I’ve done in countless other survival games.

I wanted to sail the seas as a pirate, even if it was initially only in a small skiff. Instead, I felt like Tom Hanks’ character from Cast Away, or Jack Sparrow without his Black Pearl.

After about half an hour, I lost interest during the first playthrough. It’s quite possible that it would get really good just then, and I would give the demo another chance – also because I might be quite alone with my criticism. 

In any case, I would wish that Windrose lets us dive straight into what makes it special – namely ships and the feeling of being a true pirate. The survival aspects don’t need to be thrown out, but showing them first does not necessarily do the game any favors.

Have you played the demo for Windrose and do you agree or disagree? Feel free to write it in the comments. At the moment, it at least seems according to the reviews, that we have a new contender for our list of 31 best survival games 2025 for PS5, Steam, and Xbox

ARC Raiders: Falling on Deaf Ears – How to Find the Guest List

For the quest “Fallen on Deaf Ears”, you need to search for a guest list on computers in ARC Raiders. You can find out how to locate it quickly here.

What do you need to do for the quest? Lance sends you to Stella Montis to secure information about hearing aids, as many Raiders have issues with their hearing. Therefore, you must complete the following tasks for the quest:

  • Search for the scientist’s guest list on the computers at the reception.
  • Find out where the scientist held her lecture and check her notes.
  • Look for information on the prototypes from the computers in the Medical Research Facility.
  • Find the printed shipping logs in the assembly workshops.

Once you have completed all the tasks, you only need to report your progress to Lance. Many players have trouble pinpointing the exact locations. Therefore, we will show you exactly where to go in Stella Montis.

Location: Guest List at the Reception

You can find Lance’s guest list at the reception in the “Business Center” area. The best way to get there is to come from the lobby. Try to walk towards the business center and gain height through stairs.

You are correct if you have to go through a gate with metal detectors. The PC is located behind the gate on the right side of the room at a reception.

Location: Notes in the Lecture Room

If you are still at the reception regarding the guest list, you can keep to the right and enter the next room. Here you will find the second PC for Lance.

Continue to keep to the right once you have entered the room and search for a large lectern where the data extraction device is located.

Location: Computer in the Medical Research Facility

The next device can be found in the “Medical Research Facility”. The room with the device is located on the second floor. Look for a lab with various tables and electrical modules installed on the wall. The PC is mounted near a window.

Location: Shipping Logs in the Assembly Workshops

The shipping logs are located in the assembly workshops in a monitoring room. The room is divided into two floors. Head to the second floor.

Once there, look for a table with a conspicuous black-yellow box – this is where the documents are.

After completing all points on Lance’s list, you can now extract. Note that in this quest you can also die between steps without losing progress. So don’t worry about enemies and take your time exploring.

Those were all the important locations for the quest “Fallen on Deaf Ears” in ARC Raiders. In addition to this mission, there are other quests that you can complete. If you are also looking for solutions for those, we have the right guide overview for you: ARC Raiders: All Guides, Tips, and Lists in Overview

11 years ago it was a “trend” to hate a YouTuber – Because he released a music album

The YouTuber Timo “LIONTTV” was a guest on the EDELTALK podcast and talked about his time on YouTube. He was one of the biggest on the platform in the 2010s until he released an album, which led to a massive wave of hate against him.

Who is it about? If you were on YouTube in the 2010s, you couldn’t miss one name: LIONTTV or Liont. He was the friend of Dagi Bee, another very big name on the platform, and mainly produced comedy videos.

He was at the center with his personality or the public relationship between him and Dagi Bee. His YouTube channel surpassed the 1 million subscriber mark in 2014, and everything seemed flawless for the YouTuber until he released his album.

In the EDELTALK podcast on YouTube, Liont talked about his time on YouTube and also about his downfall due to the intense hate against him.

HandOfBlood was also a big YouTuber at that time:

HandOfBlood: The most important thing about the YouTuber and Twitch streamer in under a minute

“I had achieved everything”

Why was Liont hated? It all started in 2015 when Liont released his album Löwenkind . Löwenkind was the term for his fans, and the album included a total of 14 songs. With the album, Liont also went on tour.

Since the album was categorized in the Hip Hop/Pop-Rap genre and even made it into the German charts – reaching 2nd place for a week (Source: offiziellecharts.de) –, Liont came under fire from German rappers, particularly from the rapper Gio.

Gio subsequently released a diss track – “Kein Rapper” – against Liont, in which he accused the YouTuber of various things, including greed for money. In the 2010s, it was still quite frowned upon to make big money from social media. The accusation of being greedy for money and wanting to “exploit” his fans quickly surfaced.

Dagi Bee and other lifestyle YouTubers often had to hear this as well. A statement that today seems almost ridiculous with the very well-earning YouTubers and Twitch streamers.

How did hate become a trend? Through the diss track, but also through the repeated attacks from other YouTubers, such as HandOfBlood, it became a kind of trend to dislike Liont. The communities of the various YouTubers followed their role models and targeted Liont.

In EDELTALK, Liont shares how that time was for him: He received numerous death threats and felt as if the whole world hated him.

The hate went so far, Liont reports, that even friends or YouTube colleagues with whom he had collaborated repeatedly distanced themselves from him. The situation ultimately pushed Liont into alcoholism and severe psychological problems.

Liont further states: “It was this time on YouTube when everything really worked. Everything worked, no matter what you did. […] that’s why the fall was so severe for me. I had reached the top, I had achieved everything. There was no higher. And then from up there, wham, completely down, double somersault, broken neck, everything. Sick.” (Source: YouTube from minute 27:56).

Important: Hate on the internet can be just as burdensome as in real life. If you or someone you know is affected by bullying or cyberbullying, you can find help at hilfetelefon.de and cybermobbing-hilfe.de.

“Not proud of it at all”

What is the current status of Liont? By now, the hate, but also the hype around Liont has subsided. Liont sought psychological treatment and was able to heal. Actors who were involved in stirring up the hate at that time have since publicly apologized.

Gio joined Liont in a stream (excerpt on YouTube) and reacted with him to the diss track. They reviewed the time and the rapper apologized to the YouTuber.

HandOfBlood also recognized his mistake and showed remorse: “Today I must say that I am very ashamed of it, because with all the fun that one might have had or how great you might remember those videos, you just have to say that it was extremely antisocial and we probably hurt him quite a bit. I am not proud of it at all.” (Source: YouTube from minute 00:08).

Reconciliation took place in front of the camera in one of Julien Bam’s videos (Source: YouTube screenshot).

On his YouTube channel LIONTTV, Liont talks in his podcast about his time and problems. But there are also reactions to various videos, alongside new music. In short: Liont’s YouTube channel seems to encompass everything the YouTuber enjoys nowadays.

Liont achieved success primarily back then with YouTube because he created a lot of content with his then-girlfriend Dagi Bee, who is also a YouTuber. Their public relationship was featured in a documentary: A new documentary shows the rise and fall of YouTube Germany’s first dream couple

Developer has 8,544 hours in a game on Steam, says it makes him a better boss

Developers are often gamers themselves, even if they play something completely different from what they develop. This is also the case for Stephen Kick, the CEO of Nightdive Studios, who is primarily known for the remasters of System Shock, Doom, and Quake. He is a fan of Dota 2.

What does the boss play? Anyone who has ever played a competitive game like Dota 2, Counter-Strike 2, LoL, or Valorant knows the frustrating moments when you are ruthlessly outmatched by your opponents. Some might have even uninstalled the game out of frustration—only to reinstall it shortly after.

Stephen Kick, the CEO of Nightdive Studios, feels similarly. His favorite game is Dota 2, and he has played it for no less than 8,544 hours, recently achieving his five thousandth victory. The daily grind has even made him a better boss.

Here you can see the trailer for Dota 2:

Start video

Grind with positive effects

How did the boss get into Dota 2? For Kick, Dota 2 was more than just a game, as he started with a competition held by Valve, the creators of Steam. He joined to design 3D models for the characters that would enter the game if he won, which would have included him in the microtransactions.

To better understand the game, he started playing it himself, and has not stopped to this day. He plays position 5 – Hard Support and supports his team with healing and crowd control accordingly.

In an interview with PCGamer, the developer explains that he likes to take on the role of in-game leader. He enjoys giving commands to his fellow players: “Hey, I’m grabbing a smoke bomb, we all meet at this triangle. We set off the bomb, we attack, then we kill Roshan and either take Tier 2 or push up the hill.”

How does the game affect him? The boss believes that Dota 2 makes him a better leader. He says Dota 2 has helped him communicate better. He also handles frustration better now and no longer has outbursts when people do not meet his expectations.

Instead, it has become easier for him to help others. He offers suggestions when people need support and explains what they can do better. This is useful both in Dota 2 and at work.

Why is the relationship with Dota 2 toxic? The developer has uninstalled Dota 2 multiple times out of frustration. When that happens, everything becomes too serious for him. A lost match directly affects his mood.

After a month, however, the boss usually returns and has given in to his passion again. Since he plays the game with his wife, the rounds have now become a tradition. With his son, however, he enjoys playing Plants vs. Zombies, which teaches them both strategic thinking and resource management.

Video games may not be educational material, but they can still teach new skills and have a significant impact on one’s life. Yet, as in this example, they are not always positive and can also be frustrating. Other people spend their time in games even more creatively: Player spends 10,000 hours in GTA 5, but instead of driving through the city, he prefers to beautify it

Sauercrowd slips through the Molten Core, clears the raid on the first night

The Twitch event Sauercrowd has reached its goal. The raid “Molten Core” has been conquered – and it turned out to be much easier than expected.

For almost 8 weeks, the streamers of the WoW-HC guild Sauercrowd have been preparing for the big date to finally descend into the Molten Core and blow out the elemental life lights of Ragnaros. An undertaking that many thought could never succeed. But yesterday (22.02.2026) the raid finally took place – and the guild was able to triumph.

How did it go for Sauercrowd? Sauercrowd triumphed – and it wasn’t even close in the end. The first raid group of the streaming guild gathered last night in the Molten Core and set out to defeat all the bosses. An undertaking that succeeded without major incidents. In the end, not only were all of Ragnaros’s minions defeated, but the Fire Lord himself also had to admit defeat on the first attempt, leaving only as a sparkling hammer in his lava bathtub.

WoW Hand of Blood MC Clear Twitter
Hänno proudly shared the victory screenshot on X.

Why was it so easy in the end? Basically, the raid “Molten Core” is not a particularly difficult gameplay element, as long as all participants know what they are doing. Because most bosses only have one or two abilities that people really need to watch and react to. Since most participants had these mechanics drilled into them, there were few problems in the end.

It had already become clear beforehand that the organizers wanted to play it safe. So 12 healers were assigned to the raid.

This was also reinforced by the fact that most of them equipped themselves with many external buffs that could significantly increase the character’s performance. This also increased the tolerance for mistakes in mechanics, so that the Molten Core ultimately turned out to be less deadly than many had feared.

The Molten Core – somewhere between unachievable and way too easy

How was the raid received? After the initial hype around the event had somewhat subsided in the past few weeks, the big day still attracted many viewers. At its peak, 227,000 viewers watched the German-speaking WoW category on Twitch on Sunday, with the overwhelming majority spread across the raid participants.

This is a significant increase compared to the average 30,000 – 50,000 viewers that have been participating in the past month.

If you look at the reactions on X or the subreddit of Sauercrowd, the reactions to the raid are mixed. While many are happy that the project was ultimately successful, there are also those who feel that it went a bit too smoothly in the end.

And then there’s a streamer who is currently the focus of ridicule.

The streamer “NoWay” is being mocked a bit by the community. For weeks, he has repeatedly emphasized that most Sauercrowd people would never see the raid from the inside or that there would never be enough characters at level 60 – only to now end up saying that the raid was “Piss-Free”, meaning it was way too easy. A rather popular post summarizes this nicely:

Was the raid really too easy? This is certainly a subject for discussion. However, it may have been helpful that the streamers were drilled over months that the Molten Core was the big final goal. Accordingly, the preparation (by most) was strong and concentration was high. Perhaps there were a few too many worries that resulted in increased attention and preparation. From a preparatory perspective, they likely did everything right.

Sauercrowd has now reached the big goal and was able to defeat Ragnaros. Whether further raids will follow remains to be seen. However, it is clear that the guild, according to HandOfBlood, is to continue to exist.

Before they can think about ambitious raids like Blackwing Lair (BWL) or Ahn’Qiraj (AQ40), the second raid group will first be setting out today. Whether they will also come through the core without pain remains to be seen …

On the way to level 60 and the preparation for the Molten Core, there have been many significant losses in the past few weeks, which we have reported on. Particularly bitter: The guild bard Jan Hegenberg was lost only a few days before the raid, preventing him from participating.

The strongest robots in ARC Raiders are too weak because the developers did not anticipate a player trait

The developers of ARC Raiders suggest that the strongest robots in the shooter are too weak. They are fought in a way that was not intended.

Which robots are we talking about? In ARC Raiders there are some nasty robots. The strongest are the so-called Queens and Matriarchs. These are massive, heavily armed ARCs that can easily tear apart a squad of inexperienced Raiders.

In an interview with PC Gamer, Virgil Watkins, the lead designer of ARC Raiders at Embark Studios, stated that these powerful ARCs are not up to the current challenges faced by the Raiders.

Start video

Massive ARCs are not up to the threat from humans

In what way are the ARCs too weak? Watkins was asked in the interview about the frustration that many players currently feel with the loot from the Queens and Matriarchs, as it often feels like none of those involved are receiving the desired rewards. It’s said: There’s too little loot for too many players.

Watkins explained that even the Queens and Matriarchs are not designed to be attacked by huge swarms of players:

Even though they are massive and deadly, it was not intended for the entire server to fight against them and all to be rewarded equally. It is intended that perhaps a few dedicated squads collaborate and have to deal with other players at the same time.

Thus, the developers did not foresee that almost all players on a server would cooperate to defeat a Queen or a Matriarch, instead of fighting each other. That’s why there is also not enough loot for all involved – there are simply more players peacefully fighting together against the boss ARCs than planned.

Watkins also stated that the developers had to rethink, because the ARC Raiders community was more peaceful than expected. The players’ behavior surprised the team behind the shooter, as the players in the tests had never been that friendly.

Could there be even stronger ARCs? Yes, the developers already mentioned this in January 2026. It was also Watkins who hinted that there will be even stronger ARCs in the future – like the colossal robots that you see wandering in the background on some maps. The question is whether the developers can technically implement it. More about this here: ARC Raiders will unleash such powerful robots on you that the developers are worried about the servers

The prices for hard drives are so high in the UK that someone flew to the USA to buy HDDs there and saved money despite travel costs

Hard drives are so expensive that a user flew to the USA to buy HDDs there. He explains that it was cheaper than ordering directly at home.

A user reports in the subreddit r/DataHoarder that he wanted to buy hard drives. However, the high prices have now also reached hard drives and SSDs and in the UK, where the user lives, the prices were far too expensive.

For this reason, the user decided to fly to the USA with his wife to buy 10 hard drives with a capacity of 28 TB each. This is because prices in the USA were significantly lower than the selling prices in the UK.

After observing the prices of 28 TB hard drives in the UK literally skyrocket, I decided to book a short trip to New York shortly after New Year to stock up on some 28 TB hard drives, and since the prices just kept rising, I decided to buy 10 of them.

Buying hard drives in the USA is cheaper than ordering at home

After he ordered the hard drives, he booked a flight and a hotel in New York to pick up his purchased hard drives. He explained that in the end he regretted buying 10 hard drives. He should have taken 8 instead, as it would have been logistically easier and his whole suitcase would not have been filled with hard drives.

Otherwise, the user stated that there were no major issues: He was able to bring the hard drives back to the UK without any difficulties in his carry-on luggage. In conclusion, he stated:

It is definitely doable. It was a somewhat crazy idea to invest so much money in external drives, but in the end, it was worth it.

He does not explain in his post what he needs all the hard drives for. He only stated that 4 hard drives with 16 TB each were simply not enough for him, and that is why he decided to buy 10 of them in the USA.

Why a HDD instead of an SSD? Hard drives are still considered a very good alternative if you want to store large amounts of data. Although SSDs are significantly faster than conventional hard drives, they are also considerably more expensive.

In addition, SSDs are generally more susceptible to wear when you frequently write large amounts of data. The durability of hard drives is greater than that of many SSDs that can be ordered by consumers on Amazon.

RAM and HDDs are already very expensive, but SSDs are following the high prices. A manager from one of the largest memory manufacturers, Kioxia, explained in a conversation that the time for cheap SSDs is over. And a sample already shows: The SSDs are as expensive as they haven’t been for months: Manager of an SSD company says, “the days of cheap 1 TB SSDs” are over, confirming that the supply is already sold out until 2027

A huge robot from Fallout waited almost 200 years for its deployment, was destroyed after only 2 weeks

In Fallout, a single robot occupied scientists, military, and various factions in the wasteland for many years. Although it ultimately fought briefly, its influence was great. In the 3rd season of the Amazon-series, it could celebrate its return.

Which robot is it about? We are talking about Liberty Prime. It is a gigantic combat robot whose origin dates back to the time before the Great War in 2077.

Because already in 2066, 11 years earlier, the Sino-American War took place, which ultimately led to the atomic catastrophe we know from Fallout. During this war, China invaded Alaska.

To defend itself, the US government commissioned the companies RobCo Industries, Mass Fusion, and General Atomics International: Build us a combat robot that takes out the enemy once and for all.

Liberty Prime was supposed to embody the power of the US military. Work began on it in 2072, but quickly ran into problems. The power supply caused particularly severe headaches.

It seemed impossible to operate all parts of the robot effectively at the same time. In their desperation, the responsible parties turned to scientist Stanislaus Braun. Unfortunately, he had his own plans. He had retreated into Vault 112. There, Braun created a virtual reality, took control of the Vault residents, and tortured them.

Without his help, Liberty Prime could not be completed. The robot remained where it was constructed, beneath the Pentagon in Washington D.C. There it stayed while the Great War broke out in 2077. Only about 178 years later was Liberty Prime rediscovered.

Start video
The official trailer for Fallout Season 2 takes us back to the apocalypse

The Brotherhood of Steel steps in

Who found Liberty Prime? Around the year 2255, an expedition from the Brotherhood of Steel discovered the robot beneath the Pentagon. The faction recognized the potential of the combat machine and commissioned the chief scholar Reginald Rothchild to make Liberty Prime operational.

But he faced the same problems as the US government before the war. The power supply was not sufficient to allow Liberty Prime to fight and move simultaneously. The weapon systems had more power than the rest. For 20 years, Rothchild and his team struggled against the robot.

An attempt to modify Liberty Prime’s combat systems failed, as the internal AI noticed and defended itself. This caused internal damage, further delaying completion.

Further experiments ended with injuries and burns. Ultimately, Rothchild managed to better distribute the energy, but an overall performance of a pathetic 3% showed that Liberty Prime was far from ready for actual combat.

A fortunate coincidence

Was the project a failure? No, because the situation changed dramatically. The Enclave, a malevolent and very powerful faction in the wasteland, grew stronger. In 2277, Dr. Madison Li survived the Enclave’s attack on Project Purity – a project that aimed to make water in the wasteland drinkable again – and fled to the Brotherhood of Steel.

There, she became an important team member to finish Liberty Prime. Her knowledge helped establish the robot’s power supply properly. Finally, he was ready for duty.

In the following two weeks, Liberty Prime fought alongside the Brotherhood of Steel and caused heavy defeats for the Enclave. Besides their soldiers, the robot also took out infrastructure and Vertibirds (helicopters).

The Brotherhood was drunk on victory and felt superior to the Enclave – also thanks to Liberty Prime. This, however, led to a fateful battle and the temporary end of the robot. All of this is playable in Fallout 3.

How did Liberty Prime “die”? The Enclave was not foolish and monitored the Brotherhood’s offensive actions. They set a trap for them. During a battle at the satellite relay station, the Enclave launched a targeted missile attack on Liberty Prime. This destroyed the robot.

The event weakened the Brotherhood. There was no direct attempt to reassemble Liberty Prime. Only 10 years later, Arthur Maxson, the new Elder, wanted to repair the robot in the Commonwealth. This was supposed to attack the newly discovered Institute, another faction operating underground. Whether Liberty Prime was completed remains open.

This follows a slight spoiler for Fallout Season 2: Presumably, in the 3rd season of the Amazon series for Fallout, we will see a new Liberty Prime called “Alpha”. The end of the 2nd season contained a teaser showing corresponding blueprints. Season 2 partly takes place in New Vegas, but there were originally other plans: The series for Fallout should have started in the best location from the games, but Bethesda was against it

I almost completely forgot a character in Cyberpunk 2077, but with a single side mission, he won my heart

The world of Cyberpunk 2077 offers many different stories and characters. One character was quite forgettable for MeinMMO editor Niko for a long time, but a side mission made him his favorite because it is so good.

Which character is it about? In the side mission I fought the Law V is to find out for Elizabeth Peralez whether the dead mayor Lucius Rhyne really died of natural causes or was murdered. For this, you receive early support from River Ward.

He is the cliché of a detective in the police. River outwardly speaks like a tough guy who has seen a lot, but deep down he is a good person who wants to do everything for justice. You can also tell this at the end of the mission after you learn that Han, his partner at the NCPD, has covered up the case.

I found this side mission quite forgettable. River as a character seemed rather boring, and I quickly forgot that he even existed. But then he called again, and the best side mission in Cyberpunk 2077 began, which deserved its own game.

A Damn Good Detective Story

At some point after I Fought the Law I received a call from River. River needs my help to find his nephew Randy Kutcher, who has been kidnapped by Anthony Harris. He is behind the Peter Pan abductions. The side mission The Hunt begins.

Harris is indeed captured, but in a coma. It follows investigations with BDs and the investigation of websites. A terrible case unfolds that quickly reminded me of series like True Detective. For the character River, this is the perfect mission.

He not only fulfills the cliché of the detective who has been suspended for breaking orders, he has a personal connection to the case. As V, I had a different motivation to help him right away.

Due to the emotional connection to the case, River also acts more impulsively and emotionally, resulting in strong dynamics in the dialogues with V. V is not the protagonist here, but an outsider who wants to help.

As a duo, they fit wonderfully into the detective genre. V, the mercenary, and River, the detective. In addition to the characters, the case itself is simply exciting and really creepy.

Like From a Dark Thriller

The mission is already pretty dark even before the premise. A Peter Pan serial killer who abducts teenagers. But during the course of the mission, additional information emerges that makes everything worse. You worry about River’s nephew and just hope he is still alive.

A good tension curve develops here. The mission has a nice balance of story, dialogue, and investigation. The climax of the mission then takes place on the farm. The theme and visual presentation belong to the darkest thriller stories I know, and the moment when a disturbing cartoon is played will probably never be forgotten. I mean, take a look at this:

Although I did not choose River as a romance option, the mission also has a nice ending. In the side mission Following the River you are invited by him for a barbecue. There you play a video game with his other nephew and niece, eat together, and in the end, there’s a good buddy moment.

This is a nice contrast to the disturbing moments in the previous mission, and as a player, you get a better sense of why he wanted to save his nephew so badly.

The side mission has all the elements to stand on its own while also fitting into the world:

  • Overall, it is a story-wise small mission.
  • The emotional level is understandable for the player.
  • There is not only a red thread but also a nice tension curve and a good ending (if you do everything right)

Even though River seems somewhat inconspicuous and often irrelevant in the overall context of Cyberpunk 2077, he is one of my favorite characters because he not only tells a strong thriller story thematically, he stands for himself and for a small part in a world where sometimes you just have to do good.

But what about you? Do you like the mission or do you have another favorite? Feel free to share your experience in the comments. As a romance option, River is not particularly popular with parts of the community: In Cyberpunk 2077, a player felt sympathy for an NPC and found out for herself why he is not liked by the community

Mega Dragonite suddenly appeared in Pokémon GO – How to catch it?

Mega-Dragonite appeared suddenly in Pokémon GO and then vanished again. How do you obtain the mighty dragon?

What happened in Pokémon GO? Last weekend, local live events for the Pokémon GO Tour: Kalos took place in Tainan and Los Angeles.

Some content was announced for these events, but one feature surprised the participating trainers: Mega-Dragonite, known from Pokémon Z-A, suddenly debuted in Pokémon GO.

The monster appeared as part of the new Super Mega Raids, as various trainers reported in the Subreddit for Pokémon GO. But now it has vanished again – and not everyone could obtain it.

How do you catch Mega-Dragonite in Pokémon GO?

Who could catch Mega-Dragonite? Only trainers who had a ticket for the local GO Fest could obtain Mega-Dragonite. You could also participate in the Super Mega Raids from outside if you used a remote raid – but you would not receive Mega Energy.

However, you need that energy to perform Dragonite’s Mega Evolution. So now all others have to wait.

When will Mega-Dragonite be available for everyone? There has not yet been an official announcement for Mega-Dragonite, but this was also the case before the local GO Tour. Typically, local events largely align with the global version. And that will take place next weekend.

Therefore, one should keep an eye out for the new Mega Pokémon during the global Kalos Tour. It is suspected that it will appear over the weekend. However, this is still speculation.

As soon as there is official information, we will keep you updated.

Can I trade a Mega-Dragonite? No, that is not possible. If you trade a Mega Pokémon, its Mega level is reset. So if one of your friends has a Mega-Dragonite, do not try to obtain it through a trade.

What’s next in Pokémon GO? This weekend, the Kalos Tour is happening, but this week, there is still the Path to Kalos event on the agenda. You should take advantage of this, as interesting legendary Pokémon are in the raids daily, and bonuses are active. All info on the Path to Kalos in Pokémon GO can be found here.

AI consumes a lot of energy, but Sam Altman finds that unfair: points to the energy required to train a human

Sam Altman considers criticism of AI’s energy consumption unfair: He explains that people need a lot of energy to become intelligent.

AI data centers require huge amounts of energy to handle the many requests from users. And this high consumption is often criticized by many people.

In an interview with The Indian Express, which you can watch on YouTube, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, responded to the criticism that AI consumes so much energy. He believes this criticism is unfair. Because people have also consumed a lot of energy over a long period.

“We have created a monster” – A Spanish model earns up to 10,000 euros a month, yet she is not real

Altman: People consume energy for over 20 years before they are wise

This is what Altman said: The head of OpenAI explained that people would consume energy over 20 years before they are smart enough (via Tomshardware.com):

One of the things that is always unfair in this comparison is that people talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model compared to how much it costs a human to perform an inference query.

(…)

People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes about 20 years and all the food you consume during that time before you become wise.

Nevertheless, the strong energy consumption remains under criticism. For example, Satya Nadella, the head of Microsoft, stated that energy must not be wasted on useless things. Because then, public support for AI would be lost.

A user wondered on X (formerly Twitter) how much money OpenAI has already lost on electricity costs because people say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ to ChatGPT. This question was personally answered by tech billionaire and CEO of OpenAI Sam Altman: Head of ChatGPT says users are wasting a fortune by saying please and thank you to the AI

Fans of One Piece were concerned about a character, but a T-shirt reveals whether he is in the Netflix series

By now, all characters from Season 2 of One Piece on Netflix are known. It’s no wonder that fans are wondering what Season 3 will look like. One character is notably missed by the community.

Which character is it? The casting of Princess Vivi in the Netflix series was one of the most anticipated announcements by fans. However, the princess is actually traveling in company, and we don’t mean her male colleague from the Baroque Works.

The princess is actually accompanied by her mount, Karuh. It is a yellow racing duck with a particularly cute hat. It reliably gets Princess Vivi to her destination and is a loyal friend.

So far, there has been no sign of life from Karuh. On Reddit, several fans have expressed concern about the whereabouts of the loyal companion. But a new shirt for Season 3 now reveals how things stand with the yellow racing duck.

Karuh is practically a member of the Straw Hat Crew

Will Karuh be in Season 3? As pewpiece reports on X, Awdo Awdo, the actor of Mister 1, posted a T-shirt. It’s a piece of clothing that the Netflix crew received from Eiichiro Oda, the mangaka of One Piece.

The shirt displays the words “Season 3” in English. It shows a scene that can be seen roughly towards the end of the Alabasta arc. The Straw Hat Pirates extend their arms with a symbol that represents their friendship and unity in the center. For spoiler reasons, we won’t go into what other meanings the symbol holds.

Next to the members of the Straw Crew, Vivi and her yellow racing duck Karuh also stand in the circle. This is a sure sign that the loyal companion will only appear in Season 3 and will be revealed later.

How are fans reacting? Viewers are more than relieved that Karuh finally appears. On both X and Reddit, countless comments revolve around Karuh. This shows how popular the yellow racing duck actually is among fans. 

There are even several people whose favorite character is Karuh. So we can imagine how happy they must be to hear about their favorite duck.

Season 2 will soon set sail and has various new actors on board. To ensure you’re well prepared for the Netflix series, be sure to read through the most important information again: One Piece Season 2: Trailer, Release, and Cast for the Netflix series

Chinese RAM was seen as a hope for many gamers, but the opportunity is already gone after a few weeks

Cheap Chinese RAM was long regarded as a hidden gem. However, the chance for affordable RAM from China is now over. Chinese companies are also increasingly focusing on storage for data centers.

RAM from China was considered the hidden gem in recent weeks. Prices for Chinese RAM were still significantly lower than those in Europe or the US.

However, this hope has already vanished after just a few weeks. Now, you pay just as much for Chinese RAM, or even more than in Europe.

Start video
Why is RAM so expensive? The current situation explained in 2 minutes

The “hope” of Western gamers now costs just as much in China as in Europe

Who produces RAM in China? The most well-known is probably ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), which is considered one of the largest DRAM manufacturers in China. Smaller notable manufacturers include YMTC (3D NAND), GigaDevice, and Hyllsi Technology.

Manufacturers like KingBank mainly rely on CXMT’s memory for their storage modules, and until recently, its modules were significantly cheaper. However, now you pay not much less for KingBank’s RAM modules than in Europe. WCCFTech reports that you now have to pay around 450 euros for a 32 GB DDR5 module in China as well.

If you look at the prices in Germany on Geizhals, they are even slightly above our current prices. Here, you pay between 350 and 400 euros for 32 GB DDR5. The chance for affordable RAM from China is therefore already over.

Why have prices risen so dramatically?

  • On the one hand, this is due to the increasing demand. Since many people have discovered Chinese products for themselves and therefore switch to these brands, prices are also rising.
  • On the other hand, this is because CXMT is also shifting large parts of its capacities to HBM3. HBM3 is high-performance RAM primarily used in data centers. Most manufacturers are trying to profit from the AI boom and are therefore focusing on HBM3.

What’s next? Really dropping prices are not in sight yet. Experts suspect that the AI boom and the memory crisis could continue until 2027. Until then, gamers have to be patient if they want to upgrade their gaming PCs at fair prices.

There could at least be some good news: PC manufacturers like Dell, ASUS, and HP want to sign long-term contracts with CXMT, which should make pre-built PCs cheaper in the long run (via tomshardware.com).

Are you looking for an option to survive the memory crisis? MyMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann presents a gaming PC that allows you to withstand the RAM crisis while still enjoying gaming: For 1,600 euros, you get the best gaming PC to safely withstand the RAM crisis

Amazon Games saves on their latest MMORPG, cuts servers without cheaters

Amazon Games is slowly withdrawing from its MMORPGs. Now, a cost-cutting measure follows for the latest MMORPG Throne and Liberty, which primarily harms players on the PS5.

What have the developers announced? For about a week now, there have been rumors that Amazon Games was working on merging servers and regions. This rumor has now proven true, and the developers have officially announced on playthroneandliberty.com that they will merge servers and regions.

In particular, the players on PS5 are the ones who suffer, as they will have to give up their exclusive servers.

Here you can watch a trailer for Throne and Liberty:

Start video
The new update of Throne and Liberty brings housing and a new weapon to Solisium

Everything comes together

What changes are planned? In Europe, the developers have only planned a few changes. The server that allowed PS5 players to play exclusively and without cheaters due to console restrictions will be shut down.

All players will be moved to a “normal” server, which will also be used by PC players. There will no longer be any PS5-exclusive servers in Europe. Those who don’t want to deal with PC players and bots in the game can choose to play on the PS5-exclusive server in America, which will remain.

The auction houses will also be merged. With the end of the PS5 servers, there will only be a shared auction house in the server region and no alternative.

Where are the biggest cuts? The biggest cuts are being made by the developers in America. There, the server regions North America West, North America East, and South America East will merge into a single server region.

In this process, the 3 exclusive servers for PS5 in those regions will be combined into a single PS5 server. This will then have two auction houses: one for PS5 and one for the new server region “Americas”.

What about Throne and Liberty? After the exit of Amazon Games, players of Throne and Liberty could initially breathe a sigh of relief. The MMORPG will remain and will not be shut down. But similar to Lost Ark, Throne and Liberty is also fading away quietly.

The player numbers are slowly but steadily declining, with Throne and Liberty barely managing to have over 10,000 players at peak times (Source: SteamDB). The big September 2025 update did not attract enough new players. At that time, only about 28,000 players were online at peak times, and the effect has long since faded.

Players of Throne and Liberty are clearly thirsty for a new update with plenty of content. Until that comes, player numbers will likely continue to drop.

Throne and Liberty is still a good MMORPG today. However, the lack of updates and the end of Amazon Games as an MMORPG developer and publisher have weakened the game. Nevertheless, it belongs on this list: Which MMORPGs are really worth it in 2026? – MeinMMO reveals it to you in the video

Son finds 40-year-old D&D treasure of his deceased father, asks the community what he should do with it

While clearing out the attic of a deceased fan of Dungeons & Dragons, his son came across old treasures for the role-playing game that are about 40 years old. Now he is asking the community what to do with all the items and sees the find from the perspective of the fans.

What treasures are they? The Reddit user LocksmithBear discovered special treasures while cleaning out his deceased father’s attic. He found boxes full of miniatures, game sets, and rulebooks, including a sealed figure set for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons from 1983 (according to Dallas Vintage Toys). The box is slightly damaged in one spot but is still sealed in the original packaging.

LocksmithBear admits to having little knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons himself, which is why he seeks advice from the community on Reddit. He wants to know if it would be worth selling the items on eBay or if he should keep them a little longer. The community clarifies to the finder what exactly he has in front of him.

Community advises the finder to think carefully about his actions

Would selling be worth it? The community on Reddit explains to the finder that all the things are true treasures, for which there would definitely be enough interested buyers. Online, this and similar sets are offered for around 100 euros on average (own eBay search) and are almost always used and not always complete. Despite the damage, LocksmithBear could receive a solid sum for the set due to the sealed box, especially when considering the other finds from the attic.

“They are beautiful! I have a few of them, but not the whole box. I am sure there wouldn’t be a lack of buyers for it,” writes Kallidon865, “A sealed box of them is a great find. That’s a real treasure you’ve got there.”

Interloper87 also points out: “This expert set from the early ’80s is very sought after by collectors as well. This specimen looks like it is in quite good condition, so it shouldn’t be hard to find a buyer if you want to give it a new home.”

Here you can see all the things that LocksmithBear found in his father’s attic:

What does the other half of the community advise? Even though it’s a strong collector’s treasure and the son of the deceased D&D fan hasn’t had a connection to the role-playing game, a further mission forms within the community reactions. This could be exactly the nudge he needed.

Ph0ebus13 believes that there is something much better you can do with the miniatures than just have them appraised and eventually sold: “It’s a hell of a lot of fun to paint them!”

Momentum_Maury agrees: “Painting miniatures is really a lot of fun, as I’ve recently discovered. Have fun with your father’s old junk, I am sure he would be happy if you used it yourself.”

LocksmithBear eventually realizes that he can gain more from the find than just the resale value. He ultimately decides not only to keep the treasures a little longer but also writes: “Maybe I should just start with D&D, right?”

Besides actually playing Dungeons & Dragons, the TTRPG includes another hobby through its miniatures that many fans enjoy just as much. MeinMMO editor Caro also became aware of painting miniatures as her own hobby through Dungeons & Dragons: My new hobby is even nerdier than Dungeons & Dragons, and both can be wonderfully combined

Diablo 3 is still being played by millions of fans despite the successor, developer explains how that’s working so well

Diablo 2 has just received a new update and Diablo 4 is anyway the latest installment of the series. Nevertheless, Diablo 3 is still supposed to attract millions of players. How that works is explained by a developer.

What is happening currently with Diablo? The Diablo series now has 4 parts, and the latest games are continually receiving new updates:

Although Diablo 4 is the latest installment in the series, the player base in the predecessor is still said to be gigantic. Matthew Cederquist is the Executive Producer at Diablo and revealed in a group interview at Blizzard that there are still millions of players in Diablo 3. He also mentions the reason for this.

Start video
Blizzard presents the new Warlock class for Diablo 2, Diablo 4, and Immortal in the cinematic trailer

Games cannibalize each other

Why does Diablo 3 still have so many players? The producer reveals that each installment has its own core player base. However, there is also a part that switches back and forth between titles. This is mainly due to the different seasons and DLCs:

In every single leaderboard season that comes out, you will see how people switch from D4 back to D3 and play during that opening weekend or week or so, and then they switch right back to D4. And vice versa to D2.

Since Diablo 2 recently received new content, there are currently more players in Diablo 2 than in Diablo 3. The developers are trying to avoid the release of seasonal content for different Diablo games coinciding. This way, players should be able to enjoy a different Diablo installment each week.

Is that the case with WoW too? According to Cederquist, World of Warcraft is not as fluctuating as Diablo. Even with World of Warcraft Classic, while players have another option, they still have their own home in the respective game and cannot move it.

Additionally, it takes more time to level up your character, organize groups, and run raids there. That is different in Diablo. For example, every class is a damage dealer and does not have a specific role required for a raid.

The year 2026 is expected to be a great year for Blizzard. However, the head knows already that not everything will be a success. You can read how she envisions the future of the developer studio in the following article on MeinMMO: 2026 is supposed to be an important year for Blizzard, but the head has to admit: “Not everything will be a success”

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Episode 6 – What Happened in the Series Finale

With the 6th episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the 1st season of the Westeros series comes to an end. Here’s everything you need to know about the last episode.

Episode 5 was probably the most epic episode of the season. The judgment of the Seven has taken place and the knights of Duncan faced off against the knights of Aerion Targaryen. 

During the battle, a tragic incident occurred and the 6th and final episode of the season deals not only with the consequences of that but also with the future of Duncan and his squire Aegon aka Egg.

We summarize the most important events of the episode after the video:

Start video
House of the Dragon Generates Anticipation for Dragon Battles in the Teaser for Season 3

The Aftermath of the Battle

How is Duncan after the battle? Duncan is visibly devastated by the death of Baelor Targaryen, who fought for him and gave his life. Right at the beginning of the episode, there is an argument with Lyonel Baratheon, who is not as sad about Baelor’s death, because only a dead dragon is a good dragon.

Throughout the episode, he speaks with some companions he has met during the season and says goodbye. Suddenly, however, he is picked up by knights of the Targaryens – Prince Maekar wants to see him.

It is revealed that Aerion is being sent east, and we see how Maekar is struggling with the death of his brother. However, Maekar offers Duncan a great opportunity. Egg, wishing to serve only Duncan as a squire, offers that he could become a knight under Maekar. Duncan would be trained himself, and Egg could be his squire.

Duncan declines, as he no longer wants anything to do with princes.

How is Prince Egg? Prince Aegon seems to be struggling with his own family. Armed with a knife, he goes into his wounded brother Aerion’s room, but is stopped by his father Maekar.

One last time, Duncan speaks with Maekar and wants Egg as a squire, but not with his family, rather on a journey of their own. Maekar declines, as a Targaryen should not sleep in the dirt.

Aegon, however, is not interested in a comfortable bed and fine food. Egg has snuck away, against his father’s will. Just before Duncan leaves, Egg goes to the hedge knight and rides with him on an unknown adventure.

This is not the end for Duncan and Egg. Their adventures continue in a 2nd season. But before you see them again, another Westeros series, which takes place long before Game of Thrones, is going into its 3rd season: House of the Dragon Season 3: Start, Trailer, Cast – All info regarding the new season

Bridgerton: The 10 Most Important Differences Between the Book and the Series That Change Season 4 Part 1

The first part of the new Bridgerton season has been released. We explain the 10 most important differences from the book.

What is Bridgerton? The Netflix series Bridgerton takes place in London in the 19th century. The eight siblings of the family are on a quest for love and must navigate high society – always surrounded by gossip, drama, and intrigue.

We are currently in season 4. The first half of the season is already available to watch on Netflix:

  • Part 1 (Episodes 1-4) was released on January 29, 2026
  • Part 2 (Episodes 5-8) will be released on February 26, 2026

What was the ranking based on? In the following list, we want to look at 10 things that are different in the book compared to the series. We ranked the differences roughly by importance. Which change had the greatest impact on the story?

Spoiler alert: The list contains spoilers for Season 4 Part 1, that is, the first four episodes.

Bridgerton Season 2 flirts with the death of a character

Rank 10: Violet has to move out

What happens in the series? Besides the Bridgertons themselves, the iconic house of the family is also a fixed part of the series.  Even though we visit other locations in between and some family members move out or are long-term absent, it still feels like the center of the family. This is mainly because Mama Bridgerton continues to live there and takes care of the still-unmarried children.

What happens in the book? In the book, we learn that the living conditions have changed somewhat. After the masquerade ball, Violet moves out to make room for Anthony and Kate, who from that point on live in the Bridgerton house with their two children Edmund and Miles.  

This makes sense, as Anthony, the oldest son, inherits the house. However, in the series, they probably wanted to keep the familiar location, and thus sent the young couple on a trip to India.
