USK hosts a digital parents’ evening on the topic of ‘Games Against Extremism’ – here’s how you can participate

Gastbeitrag 11. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

On the occasion of Safer Internet Day, the USK will hold the next digital parents’ evening in early February, addressing the topic of extremism. Here you will find all the important information.

In time for Safer Internet Day 2025, the Entertainment Software Self-Regulation (USK) invites to the next digital parents’ evening in February. The informational event will focus on extremism, its depiction in digital games, and how these can help raise awareness of the issue.

Topic: Digital parents’ evening with a focus on “Games Against Extremism“
Date: February 11, 2025, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM
Location: Online event taking place on the Microsoft Teams platform
Participation: Link to information page and registration with the USK

The event is mainly aimed at parents, guardians, and educators, just like the last digital parents’ evenings. However, everyone who is generally interested in the topic and wants to learn something new can also participate.

Registration through the above-linked information page of the USK is required to participate in the digital parents’ evening, while downloading Microsoft Teams is not necessary.

More on the topic

A Statement Against Hate

von Mary Marx

Games Can Raise Awareness of Extremism

Some games now address the topic of extremism and can thus make an important contribution to raising awareness among children and young people.

The event will showcase examples of how games address the issue and how they can help reflect on the topic.

Three experts will guide the program:

Melanie Endler, media education and cooperation consultant
Maurice Matthieu, member and communication consultant
Matej Samide, project manager at the Foundation for Digital Game Culture

What exactly does the USK do? The USK is primarily responsible for the age rating of computer and video games in the German-speaking area, and the assessment criteria were expanded two years ago.

All games submitted for review since then are examined not only for potentially harmful content but also for online risks such as in-game chats or gambling mechanics. These usage risks have now also been incorporated into the guidelines for evaluating digital games.

In addition, the USK issues youth protection certificates when certain systems meet the high standards of German youth media protection. In the past, the USK awarded such a certificate, for example, for the Xbox consoles and their internal youth protection system.

Players criticize a controversial innovation in LoL esports that is supposed to make matches more exciting: ‘I really hate it’

Niko Hernes 11. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Riot wanted to change some things in League of Legends in 2025. This wasn’t just about gameplay changes; the eSport needed adjustments too. One of the most important changes is the Fearless Draft. However, it is more controversial within the community than one might think.

What is the Fearless Draft? The draft in LoL generally has two stages in eSports: bans and picks. This stays the same in the Fearless Draft in the first match.

1. Both teams ban 3 champions each and then pick 3
2. Both teams ban 2 champions each and then pick the remaining 2

This process was then repeated for each match depending on the format. However, the problem, depending on the meta, was that the same champions were constantly being banned or picked, leading to little variation.

The aim is to counter this with the Fearless Draft and make eSport more entertaining. In a Best-of-3 or Best-of-5, each champion can only be played once. This ensures that professional players must have multiple champions in their repertoire and must react to multiple champions from their opponents.

For viewers, this seems like an exciting change, but a current reddit thread shows that the Fearless Draft is more controversial than one might think.

The Fearless Draft is Loved and Hated

How is the community reacting to the Fearless Draft so far? In a recent reddit thread, the user Spacerock678 calls the Fearless Draft the best thing that has happened to LoL eSports. He believes that the matches are much more fun to watch now. Currently, the thread has over 3700 upvotes and almost 460 comments, not all of which entirely agree with this view.

Users like Cybonics agree with the thread creator (via reddit). He finds the games in the Chinese league LPL particularly good. User Nichoova (via reddit) writes that he enjoys the Fearless Draft, but does not believe it will help eSports grow.

Other users are much more critical:

benthecarmen (via reddit) criticizes: I really hate it because it doesn’t bring about new choices and removes all interesting aspects of the draft.
CanadianODST2 (via reddit) writes: I hate it tbh. I want to see them at their best, not diversity for the sake of it.
Aschentei (via reddit) sees pros and cons: It is nice for viewers, but must be a nightmare for coaches, especially in bo5. For professional players, it reveals those with small champ pools.

Even Riot itself has commented on the difficulties with balancing as more champions need to be taken into account.

LoL changes a champ after 14 years, brings urgent rework – fans criticize: The greatest problem still persists

von Nico Scheibel

Is the criticism legitimate? Riot wants eSports to become more attractive for viewers. With something like the Fearless Draft, this is possible. The skill with one champion can be exciting, but for casual viewers, it’s also interesting to see new champions regularly played at a high level.

At the Worlds 2024, one could already see how rigid a meta can be. Champions like Aurora or Yone were banned almost every match, and other champions like Skarner or Jax were almost always present. Many viewers criticized this at the time as well. Other innovations are also drawing criticism: Fans of League of Legends criticize Riot for its greed, expressing concern over the LoL MMORPG

What is the Future Stars EVO? The evolution has been available since Friday, January 31. It was introduced with the new Future Stars Event in Ultimate Team. At the beginning, you can choose from 1 of 3 EVO paths, which can be found in the EVO menu under the tab “Future Stars Academy”:

You can utilize each upgrade for every player. By now, you could equip your Academy player a second time with the upgrades listed here.

Which players are suitable for the EVO? For the upgrades, you can choose 1 from 15 Academy stars once you log into Ultimate Team. Your selection is as follows:

Tchatchoua (RB, LM, RM) – Hellas Verona (Cameroon)

Asun Martínez (RW, LW, RM, ST) – Valencia CF (Spain)
Fishel (ST) – Chelsea FC (USA)

Which player should you choose? It is up to you which player you decide on. All players start with an 80 rating and the same number of PlayStyles and skills. It is best to look at which position you see a need for improvement in your club. At the end of the EVO, each player will reach full chemistry, as they will attain Icon status.

Which PlayStyles and upgrades fit best for the professionals in their positions is discussed in this article.

YouTuber shows the 10 biggest mistakes in Pokémon GO that even professionals make

Paul Kutzner 11. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

In a game like Pokémon GO, it can quickly happen that one makes mistakes out of ignorance. A YouTuber has shown in a video mistakes that can happen even to professionals.

Even professionals who have been playing Pokémon GO for years can find that they do not fully know some aspects of the game and therefore miss out on rewards.

Poké Daxi, a YouTuber with over 600,000 subscribers, has compiled some mistakes in a video on YouTube that can happen even to die-hard players. So that you don’t make these mistakes, we have compiled them for you from his video.

Start video

Pokémon GO reveals the new season Dual Destiny in the trailer

Autoplay

4 mistakes that can cost you rewards

Routes: The first mistake that the YouTuber mentions in his video is skipping routes. Here you can receive the coveted Zygarde cells every day, which you need to bring your Zygarde into its optimal form.

Moreover, you can encounter more Pokémon when you first complete a route, if you activate incense or adventure incense during the task.

Golden gyms: Another mistake that players can make in Pokémon GO is related to gyms. These can be goldenized by accumulating points for the gym through activities like defeating Pokémon in the gym, feeding them with berries, or successfully completing raids.

Once the gym reaches the golden level, you not only receive more items when spinning the gym disc, but also get an additional Premier Ball if you successfully complete a raid at the gym.

To see how far your progress in a gym is, click on your avatar’s picture on the main screen in the game. In the lower area, just above the medals, you can see all the gyms you have visited as well as your progress.

AR scanning: Many trainers do not pay much attention to AR scanning of PokéStops and gyms. However, you can receive some strong rewards here, including Knursp, lures, and incense.

Collecting field research rewards: When you complete field research tasks, you can also receive an encounter with a Pokémon as a reward. You can save these by closing the Pokémon’s catch screen instead of catching the monster directly.

This way, you can collect the encounters and complete them later. This is especially beneficial for Pokémon that give you more stardust for each catch. If you wait for an event with a stardust bonus, you can thus amass a nice pile of stardust. You can collect a total of 100 Pokémon with this method.

2 mistakes you might regret in the long term

Platinum medals: If you want to make the leap from level 48 to level 49 in the game, you need to complete several tasks in addition to a heap of experience points, including collecting 35 platinum medals.

Therefore, you should not make the mistake of only dealing with your medals when you reach level 48. There are medals that you can easily collect on the side.

Pinning postcards: If you want to get Vivillon in Pokémon GO, you need to collect a lot of postcards. To make this endeavor a bit easier, don’t forget to pin each postcard when you open a gift.

It is sufficient to pin the postcard just before opening the gift, and then remove it immediately afterward. This process takes just 2 extra clicks and ensures that you don’t miss any postcards for your Vivillon progress.

More mistakes to avoid

Raids: 2 more mistakes that the YouTuber mentions in his video concern the raids in Pokémon GO. Firstly, you should not forget to organize your teams before your raids to ensure that you always face the battles with your best team.

Also, if you do not have enough players, make sure to utilize Campfire. This way, you can join raids that you would otherwise have to forgo due to a lack of trainers.

Cryptos: The second last mistake from the video concerns crypto Pokémon. Even though most trainers probably know this, there are still trainers who redeem their crypto Pokémon.

If you do it for your collection, for example, to obtain Pokémon with perfect IVs, then that is, of course, a legitimate reason. However, if you want to use the Pokémon for battles, you should always leave them in their crypto form.

A crypto monster with poor IVs is still stronger due to the 20% increased damage than a redeemed monster with better IVs.

Pokémon Home: If you play the main series games in addition to Pokémon GO, you should not just send your duplicate shinies to the professor. Instead, you can send these monsters to Pokémon Home and from there to your main games.

This is useful because shiny monsters are considerably rarer in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet than during events like Community Day in Pokémon GO.

Speaking of events: of course, there will be various events with different content and bonuses in the game in the coming weeks. If you want to know what they are and when they take place, feel free to take a look at our overview of all events in February 2025 in Pokémon GO.

One of the first great Let’s Players from Germany left YouTube 3 years ago, now reveals how he is doing

Johanna 11. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Although he has already ended his career, a YouTuber made a brief return for a special occasion. At the same time, he provides an update on his life.

Who is it about? It is about the former YouTuber Manuel “German Let’s Play” (sometimes abbreviated as GLP). For a long time, he was a celebrated Let’s Player alongside other YouTube veterans like Gronkh. His YouTube channel still has over 3.5 million subscribers (via YouTube).

In 2022, German Let’s Play completely withdrew from YouTube. The reason for this was serious health issues. He was misdiagnosed with a terminal illness and wanted to fully focus on his life after the doctors declared him out of danger.

His withdrawal saddened many in the community but was met with understanding.

The YouTuber HandOfBlood has also long been part of the German YouTube scene. We introduce him to you in the video:

In a comment under the video, he wrote that he posted current news in another comment.

What’s new with GLP? On February 9, German Let’s Play updated his comment under his original “That’s why I’m leaving YouTube” video (via YouTube). Among other things, the following things are new with him:

He had a tonsil surgery that was very important for him, but at the same time the worst surgery he has had so far, as the painkillers partially failed.
Additionally, he has been diagnosed with ADHD. It is very pronounced in him, and he will now seek medical help for it.
In recent months, he has had many therapy appointments.
The former YouTuber also has sleep apnea; these are breathing pauses at night. This is the reason for his previous concentration problems. With a mask that he wears every night, the problem can be managed.
Currently, he has no problems with his ulcerative colitis (a chronic inflammatory bowel disease). He will provide an update on this in the future.

If you hold back in Monster Hunter Wilds, your enemies will reward you with special moments

Alexander Mehrwald 11. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Monster Hunter Wilds, everything revolves around hunting powerful beasts. However, those who are patient will be rewarded with special moments that resonate well within the community.

What kind of moments are we talking about? In Monster Hunter Wilds, the seamless world with its sophisticated ecosystem plays a special role. There is plenty for hunters to discover, from herds of smaller monsters roaming around, to flying monsters soaring in the sky, and bustling packs of small animals darting through the savanna.

The focal point of the game is the hunt for large, powerful monsters. However, one should not attack them too quickly, as they also offer various interactions with their environment, which are worth being patient for. Currently, the community is especially celebrating some of these interactions.

User Kevin Naro Viera comments that it feels like watching a documentary on the Discovery Channel.

However, one monster grabs the most attention with its animations, and that is none other than the flagship monster Arkveld. In a thread on Reddit, an animation of it looking around clumsily and playing with its chains has become very popular.

Before you buy Monster Hunter Wilds, you should definitely use the benchmark tool

Benedikt Schlotmann 11. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Monster Hunter: Wilds starts in a few weeks on Steam. But before you buy the game, you should test the new benchmark tool. After the download, you will find out whether your computer can even run the game or if PS5 and Xbox are the better choice for you.

What kind of tool is this? Developer Capcom has released an official benchmark tool for Monster Hunter Wilds. You can download the tool directly on the Steam store page of the game. The download is about 30 GB in size.

Why is the tool recommended? The tool is the official way to find out if the game runs on your gaming PC at all. This also helps you avoid a bad purchase if the game doesn’t run at all or only runs very poorly on your system. Alternatively, you could switch to the Xbox or PS5 version.

Does the tool cost anything? No, the benchmark tool is free and does not require the purchase of Monster Hunter Wilds! Therefore, you should use the tool before purchasing the actual game.

Update from February 11, 2025: We have structurally adjusted the article.

Monster Hunter Wilds: How to use the benchmark tool correctly

How to use the benchmark tool:

Click on “Download” for Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark on the product page of Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam. You will need about 30 GB of free disk space.
Then you can select the tool from your Steam library and start it using the “Play” button.
Once you have started the software, select your text and audio language and choose “START” to begin the benchmark process.
After a few minutes, you will see your system’s rating.

After the benchmark: Once you have completed the benchmark, you will receive a 4- to 5-digit number. The higher the number, the better your PC’s performance. It looks as follows in detail:

5,199 or less: barely playable
5,200 to 6,999: You need to change settings
7,000 to 10,249: Changes are recommended
10,250 to 12,999: Playable
13,000 to 19,999: Good performance
20,000 and more: Excellent performance

Monster Hunter Wilds: Improving benchmark scores and alternatives

What can you do about poor scores? If you received surprisingly low points in the benchmark, you should first check your system:

Are all drivers (CPU, graphics card, BIOS) up to date?
Did you install the benchmark on an SSD?
Does your system meet the minimum requirements of Monster Hunter Wilds? The developers warn that the benchmark may not work correctly under the requirements.
Check if you have other software running that consumes significant PC resources.

The minimum requirements and recommended hardware can be found in the following table:

	Minimum Requirements	Recommended
Operating System	Windows®10 (64-bit required)/Windows®11 (64-bit required)	Windows®10 (64-bit required)/Windows®11 (64-bit required)
Processor	Intel® Core™ i5-10400 or Intel® Core™ i3-12100 or AMD Ryzen™ 5 3600	Intel® Core™ i5-10400 or Intel® Core™ i3-12100 or AMD Ryzen™ 5 3600
Graphics Card	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 (VRAM 6GB) or AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT (VRAM 8GB)	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super (VRAM 8GB) or AMD Radeon RX 6600 (VRAM 8GB)
RAM	16 GB	16 GB
Storage Space	75 GB of available storage space	75 GB of available storage space

What alternatives are there? If Monster Hunter Wilds does not run well or at all on your gaming PC, we have good news: the game will also be released for the popular gaming consoles, and it is expected to run smoothly on these at launch.

The most successful MMORPG from Germany had only 4 classes for 28 years – Now a 5th is to come

Ody 11. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A MMORPG from Germany is more successful than ever, despite its old age. Now, around 28 years after its release, the game is even getting a new class.

Which game are we talking about? We are talking about Tibia. The fantasy MMORPG is developed by CipSoft in Regensburg and was originally released in 1997. Despite its old age, the developer reported record profits last year (via Gameswirtschaft).

Since its release, which was already 28 years ago, players of the MMORPG have only had 4 vocations – this is what classes are called in Tibia – to choose from: Druid, Knight, Mage, and Paladin. Soon, the Monk will be added as a 5th vocation.

The class inspired by Buddhist warrior monks will be a melee fighter with support and healing abilities. You can see a short teaser here:

Autoplay

Strong melee fighter with support qualities

What can the new class do? The Monk relies on a mix of martial arts and mystical abilities. He can grant allies buffs and heal them while effectively dealing damage in combat with his bare fists – he is the first class in Tibia to primarily use the unarmed combat skill that has been in the game for about 20 years.

The new vocation also brings several gameplay mechanics with it:

Harmony: Certain attack spells generate Harmony, which can be used by other spells for a power boost.
Virtues: The Monk has access to three Virtues, of which only one can be active at a time. Each Virtue has a passive effect.
Serene: If the Monk fights alone or against less than six monsters at once, he is in a Serene status (a state of tranquility), which makes him significantly stronger.

Why is the new class coming so late? Before deciding to introduce a new class into the game, the developers hesitated for a long time. It should, of course, fit into the world and represent a strong option compared to the existing classes, but not overshadow any.

On February 25, there will be a first playtest for the Monk. However, he will officially join the game no earlier than the second quarter of 2025.

Only a few weeks ago, some interesting statistics about the MMORPG Tibia were published. If you’re interested in which is the deadliest enemy in the game and more, then read here: A player of a German MMORPG sells his character for approximately 41,000 euros

Austrian ARPG Expert Explains How to Best Use Your Gold in Path of Exile 2

In Path of Exile 2, many players sit on mountains of gold because there are only a few useful ways to spend the currency. An Austrian YouTuber now explains how to best utilize your gold.

As the YouTuber explains, amulets are particularly worthwhile here. With the exchange, you can turn your surplus gold into a lot of currency items. Here’s how you can get the most out of it according to Jessirocks:

Go to Act 3 (Cruel) and find NPC Alva
Buy as many amulets as you want
Use Upgrade Orbs to bring your amulets to yellow rarity
Store your loot in a stash
Use the search function at the bottom of the stash to sort the items by good attributes
Upgrade the items with good stats using Exalt Orbs to make them truly valuable
Sell matching items on the trade market for 1 Divine Orb
If you receive dozens of messages immediately for an item, it’s likely worth more
Adjust the price accordingly

Which attributes are even valuable? In Path of Exile 2, only certain stats are regarded as really good. According to Reddit, the following attributes are perfect for amulets:

Level of all spell / minion / melee / projectile skills +2 or +3
Spirit between 43 and 50
Increased spell damage between 23% and 30%
Increased maximum mana between 150 and 189 or between 7% and 10%
Increased maximum health between 100 and 149
Increased intelligence / strength / dexterity between 25 and 33
Increased resistance to the elements fire, lightning, and ice 31% – 45%
Increased resistance to chaos damage 20% – 27%
Increased rarity of found items 21% – 32%
All attributes increased by 19 – 24
Increased cast speed 21% – 28%
Increased mana regeneration rate by 50% – 69%

If your amulet has one of these attributes, it is worth enchanting it with Exalt Orbs to cast further stats onto the item.

Player defeats 3 of the toughest bosses in Elden Ring in 3 minutes using the weakest type of magic

Christos Tsogos 11. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Elden Ring, there are various forms of magic, but the weakest among them is necromancy. Many avoid it, but one player has now demonstrated how powerful it can really be.

Why is necromancy so weak? Necromancy belongs to the spells and typically summons the ghost flame or ancient echoes of the dead to harm enemies. The problem is that for effective use of these spells, you need to increase your wisdom and faith attributes – thus requiring a much higher investment in your skill points. Additionally, there are very few useful spells that pay off in battles against your enemies.

Before players level up a necromancer, they prefer to take the more relaxed route and build their Easy-Mode – the sorcerer build.

When it comes to damage, you are better served with the purest form of magic than with occultism, but one player wanted to prove the opposite. He created a necromancy build and tackled the highest difficulty of the DLC, challenging three bosses. In 3 minutes, he could demonstrate how powerful necromancy truly is.

In 3 minutes, three of the toughest bosses

Which bosses were defeated? The user Exciting-Holiday218 revealed on Reddit how powerful his build is. He describes that his character is level 175 and that he has reached NG+7 – the highest level where enemy scaling stops increasing.

He then challenged the difficult bosses from the Elden Ring DLC: Messmer the Piler, Midra, and Romina. In the fight, he only used spells, war ashes, and weapons of necromancy.

Apart from the flawless fights without a scratch, Exciting-Holiday218 dealt massive damage and defeated all bosses in under three minutes. Considering that some players take even longer to defeat a single boss, this is an impressive achievement and shows that necromancy can also be strong when you know how to use it.

Invitations to the beta test of Elden Ring are currently being sent out on Steam, but you should definitely not accept them

von Christos Tsogos

How can necromancy be strong? Most necromancy spells possess the effect of frostbite. This effect takes away a percentage of your enemies’ life and applies a debuff to them. This debuff increases the damage taken by 20% from all weapons, elements, and spells you cast in a time window of 30 seconds.

Combining this with a strong necromancy weapon like the Death’s Pick can deal immense damage. Pairing this with the right talismans, it’s only a matter of a few minutes before your boss is brought to its knees. Have you also used necromancy in your build?

Steve Jobs handed the keys to his new Jaguar to his secretary so she would never be late for work again

Benedikt Schlotmann 11. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Steve Jobs was known for not tolerating tardiness among his employees. However, one employee who arrived late received a car from him. This is recounted by a former Apple employee.

Steve Jobs hated it when everyone else was late. It went so far that he would start important meetings without some participants because they did not show up on time. However, when a secretary showed up late due to a broken car, Jobs came up with something special.

A new car so the employee would not be late to the office again

What a fascinating anecdote! The story about the late secretary comes from Ron Givens, who worked as a quality manager at Apple for 5 years. The magazine Applesfera.com reports this. One day, according to Givens, Jobs’ employee arrived late to the office.

Givens recounted how well Steve Jobs’ secretary worked at that time. Her name is not known, nor are further details, except for the fact that she was a single mother. However, on one occasion, she arrived late to the office. When she entered, Steve Jobs was already waiting for her.

He asked the secretary why she was late. She apologized and explained that she had trouble starting her car. Steve Jobs nodded and let the matter rest without commenting further. This seemed surprising to Givens, as Jobs usually did not tolerate tardiness from his employees and colleagues.

How did it end? However, some time later, Steve Jobs appeared with keys for a car for the secretary and said, “Here, so you never come late again.” The vehicle was a Jaguar. The company Jaguar primarily manufactures luxury models. Thus, Givens recounted (via wral.com):

[She was a] single mother, a good secretary. She said, ‘My car won’t start.’ That afternoon [Jobs] came into her office, tossed her a set of keys to a brand new Jaguar and said, ‘Here, don’t be late again.’ He always did things like that, surprising people.”

How the employee reacted to this is unknown. Nor is it known whether she was ever late for work again.

Gen Z is Giving Companies Headaches: 95% of Young People Admit to Cheating During Work Hours

Dariusz Müller 11. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Generation Z (Gen Z) has a different work ethic than older generations. A recent study showed that a large portion of respondents admitted to occasionally cheating during work hours, such as taking a nap or finishing work early.

Disclaimer: The title image is a symbolic image

What is Gen Z?

Generation Z, or Gen Z, refers to the generation born approximately between 1995 and 2010. Members of this generation are now between 14 and 30 years old.
The Gen Z has entered the job market in the last 10 years, bringing their own strengths and principles, notably being very health-conscious. For many, this means: “My health/my well-being is more important than my job.”
Additionally, the generation is often said to be “always online” and very tech-savvy.

What do young people admit to? The website PapersOwl surveyed 2,000 Americans aged between 18 and 34 – roughly in the range of Generation Z. In this study, 95% of respondents said they found workplace cheating acceptable.

Among the “tricks” queried in the study were things like leaving work early, false crane reports, or napping during work hours. The top answers were:

Leaving work early – 34%
Calling in sick when not actually ill to take an unplanned day off – 27%
Unannounced late arrivals – 18%
“Quiet quitting,” by only putting forth minimal effort – 16%
Using AI to complete tasks – 14%
Napping during work hours while working remotely – 11%
Logging more hours than actually worked – 11%
Using company tools or software for personal hobbies or freelance work – 10%

Moreover, 51% of respondents stated that they had taken a so-called “quiet vacation” – a break without informing a supervisor while pretending to work. The most cited reason for a quiet vacation was “mental stress or burnout” at 46%, followed by the lack of opportunity to take time for family matters (36%).

When does Gen Z perform at their best? 50% of respondents said that a salary increase is their top motivation to give their best. Additionally, 31% stated that a positive and less toxic work environment motivates them.

The working style of many members of Generation Z often contradicts the views and ideals of older generations, as many young people place less importance on strict adherence to rules. Steve Jobs would be driven crazy by Generation Z with their definition of “punctuality.”

Player discovers a Pokémon card in an old book, collectors willing to pay up to 10,000 euros

Jasmin Beverungen 11. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Collectors can achieve incredibly high prices with old Pokémon cards. A random find by a Pokémon fan could now make them a bit richer.

What kind of find are we talking about? A user reports on Reddit that he found a rare Pokémon card in an old book. He must have used the card as a bookmark 20 years ago and forgotten it in the book.

In the forum, he proudly shows what kind of card it is: a Charizard from the first edition in holo-appearance. To protect the valuable item, he has since put the card in a sleeve. This protects it from scratches and dirt so it doesn’t lose value. Because depending on its condition, it could be worth quite a bit.

Those who prefer to collect digital cards might enjoy TCG Pocket:

Pokémon card turns out to be a valuable find

How much is the card worth? To estimate the value of a card, its condition must first be checked. There are independent companies that specialize in assessing the condition of a card. They follow a scale that ranges from 1 to 10.

A 10 is a card that is basically fresh out of the printer. A 1 means the card can really only be used as a bookmark, as it usually has significant flaws.

According to Price Charting, a holo Charizard sells for about 219 euros. If the card is graded, it could fetch a price of around 9,764 euros. A few years ago, he might have gotten even more money for it: a similar card of a Charizard from the very first edition sold for 407,000 euros in 2022, currently it’s only worth 163,000 euros (via Infinite TCGPlayer).

However, the Charizard shown here is from the second card edition, which is why it is inherently worth less. Nevertheless, the Reddit user can be happy about a great find.

What do others say about his find? The lucky finder of the Pokémon card thinks that he was a dumb kid back then. He probably doesn’t understand how someone could be so foolish as to use a card that is valuable today as a bookmark.

However, other users encourage him and claim that he might have even been a genius as a child. After all, he kept the card for so many years and didn’t sell it for a lower price or trade it for other toys.

Film expert explains why a small horror movie from 2024 is a ‘middle finger to Hollywood’

Niko Hernes 11. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

In a new video, Marco Risch from Nerdkultur talks about the small horror film The Substance, which is one of the few to have received an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. The film is a critique of Hollywood itself.

Who is Marco Risch? Since 2015, Marco Risch has been focusing on news, analyses, reviews, and interviews about current films and series on his YouTube channel Nerdkultur .

In addition to this, he meets weekly with his colleague Yves Arievich to chat on the Podcast Nerd & Kultur about pop cultural film topics like Star Wars, Marvel, and DC.

Both the YouTube channel and the podcast are part of the Webedia network, which also includes MeinMMO.

In a recent video, Marco talks about the acclaimed horror film The Substance, which satirizes Hollywood and prevailing beauty ideals in the body horror genre.

The Substance receives a rare horror honor

What kind of film is The Substance? In The Substance, Demi Moore plays the actress Elisabeth Sparkle, who has just turned 50. However, she learns that her long-running TV show is to be canceled because she is too old. But a mysterious substance called The Substance can help her.

The Substance is one of the 7 horror films in Oscar history that has received a nomination for Best Picture. This places the film alongside classics like Jaws, The Exorcist, or Get Out. At the upcoming Oscars, the film has 5 nominations, as Marco explains. Demi Moore is even considered a favorite for Best Actress.

Marco explains that The Substance manages to be loved as a horror film by Hollywood, even though the film criticizes the entire industry. The great body horror is hidden. Marco himself even says that during his screening of the film, there was a lot of laughter, cheering, and clapping.

In the film, important themes that have prevailed in Hollywood for ages are hidden. The film is a societal critique about some aspects of the dream factory:

Societal pressure
Media sexualization
Prostitution of the self
Disgust with oneself

In this context, Marco compares the film to a very good episode of Black Mirror.

Social critique in the style of master Stanley Kubrick

Marco explains that director Coralie Fargeat was inspired by Kubrick. He mentions several aspects that can be recognized from the works of the legendary director:

Central and symmetrical perspectives
Minimalist sets
Suggestive cuts and match cuts
Nonverbal storytelling
Few locations
Large and surreal images

Through these techniques, the relationship of Demi Moore’s character with that of Margaret Qualley is clarified. There are significant differences, but they are eternally connected. It is about one’s own identity and what one would give up to gain recognition.

In his video, Marco also discusses the ending of the film, which was supposed to be changed by the studio. Fargeat did not want that; she did not want a mainstream ending. The rights to the film were then bought by the streaming provider MUBI, known for arthouse cinema. At MUBI, the film was allowed to keep its ending.

This paid off for the provider, as the film earned four times its budget through its theatrical release. This background story perfectly fits the societal critique of the film. At the end of his video, Marco emphatically states: The Substance is also a middle finger to Hollywood.

The Dragon Ball manga continues even without its creator, shows first sketch of new story featuring two Saiyans

Jasmin Beverungen 11. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Finally, there is a first sign of life regarding the manga of Dragon Ball! Toyotarou released a new sketch for a one-shot that revolves around two Saiyans.

What is the sketch about? In the Weekly Dragon Ball News, a sketch by Toyotarou was shown. Toyotarou took over the official manga of Dragon Ball Super, after the creator Akira Toriyama passed away.

The sketch features Trunks and Son-Goten in their teenage years (via YouTube). The two are staring intently at the television, which is showing a video game featuring Clean God. This is a superhero character that the two Saiyans literally idolize.

The sketch is a first teaser for a one-shot set to be released on February 20, 2025. The story is expected to be available for just one week, presumably on the official site. Simultaneously, the one-shot will be published in the V-Jump magazine. More information is expected to be released on February 13.

In the last arc of Dragon Ball Super, Son-Gohan was at the center of events:

New one-shot expands the story of Dragon Ball Super

How does the one-shot fit into the official manga? The one-shot highlights how the two Saiyans came into their alter egos. It is essentially a prequel to the current arc of Dragon Ball Super.

The Clean God is the reason why the two take on a superhero identity, much like Son-Gohan did as Saiyaman. Trunks and Son-Goten don their uniforms and call themselves Saiyaman X-1 and Saiyaman X-2. Their techniques are named after their idol, the Clean God.

The story represents the first major focus on the two Saiyans. We experience some slice-of-life moments from their school days and how they lead an carefree life. It’s less about hard training and battles against gods, but rather about normal, everyday things.

Why is there only now a continuation of the manga? After the death of creator Akira Toriyama, it likely had to be organizationally clarified how the manga would proceed. It was clear that Toyotarou would take over the manga, but he first had to process the death of his beloved mentor and finish his own manga.

Additionally, there seems to have been a legal dispute behind the scenes. Now that the manga is picking up pace again, it could be that the start of a new arc of Dragon Ball Super is finally within reach.

Besides the official manga, there are many spin-offs to Dragon Ball. One of these stories is an isekai, where a Dragon Ball fan is reborn in the world of the manga – but as their favorite character: There is an isekai for Dragon Ball, where a fan is reborn into the world of Son-Goku

In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 there is an Easter Egg referencing a major anime that many players might miss

Christoph Waldboth 11. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The world of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is full of mysteries. One of them relates to a famous anime.

What kind of Easter egg is that? In many games, there are small secrets that reference other titles, but also movies or series. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has also incorporated some of these Easter eggs.

One of them deals with One Piece. The anime is one of the most well-known and long-lasting in existence. It enjoys great popularity among fans. This was enough reason for the developers of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 to incorporate the famous straw hat of the protagonist Luffy into the game.

Attentive players will find the iconic headgear during their exploration of the game world. However, the Easter egg can easily be overlooked.

Below the town of Kuttenberg, there is a piece of forest where the mentioned location with Luffy’s hat can be found. Here you can see the location:

If you do not walk through the game world with open eyes, you might overlook the Easter egg. In the dense vegetation, the inconspicuous straw hat can easily blend in.

Once you collect the item, it goes directly into your inventory. There you will find it under the name “Strange Straw Hat.” The item description suggests that the hat contains the “will of those who wore it before me.”

However, this does not have any effect in the game. The hat is certainly a fashionable accessory.

After huge success, Twitch streamer admits: “Somehow I’m not really good at anything”

Johanna 11. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller has built a remarkable career as a Twitch streamer. However, in a podcast, he strikes a negative tone: He feels that he has nothing that he is truly good at.

Who is he talking about? It is about the German Twitch streamer Papaplatte. After creating his Twitch channel in November 2013, he achieved Twitch partnership just a few months later, in February 2014. This allowed him to earn money with his live streams.

Since then, he has built an extensive career. Papaplatte streams several times a week, averaging around 30,000 viewers (via sullygnome). He also plans his own events, such as the motorhome tour with his streaming colleague Reeze, with whom he also has a podcast.

This realization has led him to reflect, and he has noticed that he cannot showcase any extraordinary skill in a particular niche. He says: “I don’t have a skill that I’m really proud of.”

According to his own statements, Papaplatte is currently in a “life-changing time.” He wants to make drastic changes in his life, though he is not yet sure what exactly they will be. However, it is not about streaming.

He says that he has had too little personal life in recent years. He cannot really improve his snowboarding skills if he only goes on a winter holiday once a year.

6 Alternatives to the RTX 5000 if You Don’t Want to Spend 2,300 Euros on a Graphics Card

Benedikt Schlotmann 11. February 2025 Reading time 4 minutes

You find 2,300 euros too expensive for a graphics card, but you still want to play smoothly in the coming years? MeinMMO has some recommendations that are also worth considering for gaming, but do not cost 2,000 euros.

Buying a graphics card is an important step if you want to build or upgrade a gaming PC. However, the high prices of the RTX 5000 series deter many players from upgrading. Nevertheless, there are currently enough graphics cards available that also provide sufficient performance, especially if it doesn’t necessarily have to be the most expensive, best, and fastest graphics card on the market.

In general, you should be aware that there are differences depending on who you buy a graphics card from. The main differences between AMD and Nvidia are presented to you on MeinMMO in a separate article.

RTX 4070 Super – Graphics card for WQHD at the level of the RTX 3080

If you don’t want to spend 2,000 euros on a graphics card from the RTX 5000 series, then the RTX 4070 Super is a very good alternative. You get a good graphics card with all modern features, including Frame Generation.

The price ranges between 600 and 700 euros and fluctuates depending on the offer. With 12 GB of video memory, the model is more future-proof than many other graphics cards. Graphics cards with 8 GB or less memory are no longer considered future-proof.

RX 7800 XT: Mid-range for WQHD

A bit slower than the RTX 4070 Super, but 200 euros cheaper. With the RX 7800 XT, you get the currently best mid-range graphics card if you have to keep an eye on your budget. The performance is more than sufficient for WQHD with many details, but AMD is not as good as Nvidia in the same range when it comes to FSR and ray tracing.

Currently, you can get the graphics card for amounts between 450 and 500 euros, and there are already offers for around 400 euros. With 16 GB of video memory, you also won’t have to worry for the next few years and you are better positioned at this price level than with a comparable Nvidia graphics card.

Intel Arc B580: Very good card for Full HD, with a lot of potential for improvement

The Arc B580 from Intel was only introduced on December 13 and is thus the newest graphics card on our list. With this graphics card, you get good performance for Full HD.

In general, you get a lot of performance for around 300 euros, but you should keep in mind that Intel is still struggling with software issues. The idle consumption is also very high compared to competitors. However, it is more than certain that Intel will significantly improve its software.

On average, you pay around 300 euros for the Intel Arc B580. With 12 GB of video memory, the GPU is also sufficiently equipped for the future. If you can overlook the problems, then you get a good graphics card for Full HD with Intel’s Arc 580.

Radeon RX 7900 GRE – AMD’s third-best graphics card for under 700 euros for WQHD

If you’re looking for the card with the best value for money for WQHD and light 4K gaming, then the RX 7900 GRE is the best choice: the graphics card currently costs around 600 euros and offers you 16 GB of video memory, which provides sufficient buffer for the coming years.

Theoretically, there is still a slightly faster option with the Radeon RX 7900 XT, which “only” costs 100 euros more. For that, you get 20 GB of video memory and more performance if 4K is an option. Especially for ray tracing, you’ll have to make some compromises. The somewhat more expensive RTX 4070 (Super) is almost 40% ahead of the RX 7900 GRE in ray tracing, according to PCGamesHardware.de.

RX 7900 XTX: Best alternative for 4K gaming under 1,000 euros

AMD’s only fully-featured and best alternative is the RX 7900 XTX. At least if you don’t want to spend more than 1,000 euros on a 4K graphics card. The graphics card offers you full 4K performance or high FPS numbers in WQHD and costs around 900 euros.

However, if you primarily want to focus on WQHD (1440p), then the extra cost is definitely not worth it for you. You could save around 200 euros.

In general, you should keep in mind: If you want the best ray tracing performance and DLSS 4.0, then you can’t go past Nvidia’s RTX 4080.

RTX 4080: Nvidia’s best alternative with current features and under 2,000 euros

If you absolutely want Nvidia, the best features, excellent ray tracing performance, and preferably for 4K? Then the RTX 4080 is currently the best choice. However, you also have to pay at least 1,200 euros for it. Since the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are currently constantly sold out, prices for the RTX 4080 are also rising.

With 16 GB of video memory, Nvidia has unusually not skimped and has equipped its graphics card with enough VRAM for the future. At that time, the RTX 3080 faced criticism for only being equipped with 10 GB of VRAM.
