The X account of the German Twitch streamer was hacked. However, a hacker was able to quickly identify the culprits and exposed the three young men on X.
Who was hacked? It concerns the German Twitch streamer Isabell “Honeypuu” Schneider. With approximately 2189 average viewers in the past year (via sullygnome.com), she is one of the largest content creators on Twitch.
The hacker or rather hacktivist Nella utilizes her IT skills for a good cause on X and other platforms and was able to assist the Twitch streamer.
Honeypuu is among the most successful Twitch streamers in the German-speaking area:

Honeypuu allegedly promotes her own memecoin
How was the hack noticed? The community immediately noticed something was wrong based on a tweet. Honeypuu’s account posted on January 22, 2025, that her “Honeypuu Tokens” could be purchased from now on.
If you clicked on the link, you would be directed to a page where you would need to connect your crypto wallet to obtain the tokens. This was apparently a scam, likely intending to gain access to the viewers’ wallets.
Hacker comes to the rescue: The hacker and activist Nella wrote a info tweet on X, drawing attention to the hack. She mentioned that she was in contact with the Twitch streamer and urged the community not to respond to messages from the account. Above all, no links should be clicked.
Shortly after, Nella (via X) wrote that she had identified the three individuals. They were relatively easy to find and had used a typical “SIM swapping” method.
SIM swapping refers to a fraud method where hackers use the mobile phone number to impersonate the victim. This allows the perpetrators to pose as the victim and commit identity theft.
Nella named the three boys, displayed her chat history with them, and exposed them on X without revealing their identities.
Furthermore, Nella wrote (via X) that while Honeypuu had posted a TikTok video explaining the hack, she had deleted it again. The reason, according to Nella, was that Honeypuu needed a break from the situation. However, another video on the matter would follow.
In EA FC 25 there is a simple trick to get the current best goal scorer in Europe in just 60 minutes of gameplay. At MeinMMO, we explain to you how it works.
What type of striker is he? Viktor Gyökeres is currently the player with the most goals in the European professional leagues. The Swede scored 22 goals for his club Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese league, needing only 19 games (via tranfermarkt.de).
Now EA has also recognized his performances and awarded him a TOTY card with strong upgrades in Ultimate Team. Compared to his base gold card (84 rating), his TOTY Honorable Mentions version (TOTY-EE) has received a 91 rating with the following upgrades:
How do you get TOTY-EE-Gyökeres? The new card is part of the goals from the TOTY-EE-Draft, which you can find under the “Live” tab in the tasks. You will receive TOTY-EE-Gyökeres when you achieve 10 wins in single player or online draft mode.
What is the Draft Mode? In the Draft Mode, you will be presented with several choices. At the beginning, you have to choose one of 5 randomly generated formations. After that, you will be presented with a selection of 5 random players for each position in your starting lineup and for each spot on your reserve and substitute bench. After creating your team, you finally select one of 5 managers that fits your team. The mode is played in a knockout system. For each win (maximum 4), you will receive better rewards. However, with a loss, you are immediately eliminated and have to settle for worse rewards.

Halving game time, getting TOTY-EE-Gyökeres 2x faster
The trick relies on completing the games in single player draft. You can find the mode in the Ultimate Team menu under Play next to the online draft if you haven’t started the tasks yet.
Now start the single player draft on an easy difficulty level and create your team. The rewards vary only minimally from difficulty to difficulty and are indeed dependent on a randomly generating rewards system.
How does the trick work? Before you dive into your first match, return to the main menu of Ultimate Team and select the “Settings” option under the “Settings” tab (far right). There you will see a list of customization options.
Navigate with R1/RB to the “Match” tab and change the half length from 6 to 3 minutes. This reduces the gameplay duration for your single player draft matches to a total of 6 minutes of game time per match. However, this setting only applies to offline draft matches.
Instead of the 12 minutes for each win, you now only need half the game time. With 10 required wins and a half length of 3 minutes, that’s about 60 minutes of pure game time.
Besides the time savings, the trick also has the advantage that you avoid facing strong players in online draft. And on top of that, you secure numerous upgrade packs and an evolution (EVO) for your personal TOTY star in FC 25, which you can equip with strong upgrades, for completing all draft tasks.
One more additional tip: If you don’t have coins for a draft (costing 15,000 coins or 300 FC Points), you can currently secure a free draft entry daily at 7:00 PM in the Squad Building Challenges (SBCs). To do this, you simply need to complete the draft token upgrade by exchanging 11 rare gold players.

GTA 5 Treasure Hunt – Email “Vanderlinde” and Hints
How to start the hunt? On Friday, December 15, 2017, Rockstar officially released the treasure hunt in GTA 5 Online. This is a reference to Red Dead Redemption 2, the western game from Rockstar. An email from the sender “Vanderlinde” explains in-game how you can participate. Van der Linde is the name of the gang you are a part of in Red Dead Redemption 2.
The treasure hunt works only in online sessions. These can be private, public, for friends, or for the crew.
Initially, you are shown an image with a hint to the first target, whose location you need to find. As help, a rough marking is displayed on the map.
Once you find the target, there is a hint in its immediate vicinity. Then the actual scavenger hunt begins with three more targets.
This is how it continues: Three additional targets will be displayed on your map, each of which has a hint. Once you have found all of them, the location of the treasure will be revealed. There you will receive the golden revolver.
Unlock the revolver and the money: With the new revolver, you now have to make 50 headshots. Headshots on civilians and other players count for this.
If you succeed, you unlock an exclusive version of the revolver in Red Dead Redemption 2 and receive 250,000 GTA$. You can earn even more money in these ways:
In the following section, we will show you details about the locations.
Tip: In search of clues, you will go to target areas that you need to search. Pay attention to the game’s sounds. A ringing sound will occur in the target area that becomes faster and louder the closer you get to the target.
Treasure Hunt Guide – All Locations to Find the Treasure
We will now show you a detailed find and then the search image as well as the location of the note of the other places.
How does this guide work? No matter if your find is located at Location 1 or any other number. The three targets on the map that you should search afterward remain the same.
So use this overview to reach the find location from the email and find the note there. Then scroll to the section with the 3 targets, visit them, and then grab the revolver.
Location 1 – Sandy Shores – Boat and Pier
After you have read the email on your smartphone in GTA 5 Online, head to Sandy Shores. There you will find a pier, near which a circle is depicted on the map.
Where is the note? At the end of the pier, looking towards the lake, you will find the sought-after wooden boat on the left side. Stand at the back of the boat and turn around. Among the stones within about a meter, you will find a white paper. This is the start of the scavenger hunt.
Location 2 – Treasure Hunt at the Bridge by the Pier
This search image sends you to the pier in GTA Online. You travel to the southwest of the map, to Del Perro. Drive right along the pier towards the beach in the direction of the sea. When you transition from wooden floor to sand, you go under the pier.
Where is the note? About halfway under the pier, you will find the note pinned to one of the pillars.
This search image leads you to Mount Josiah. You will find it in the northwest of the map at Raton Canyon. On the map, you will notice four hiking trails that lead over the mountain. Follow the one that leads straight north towards the river.
Where is the note? At the end of the path, go right past the rock formation until you notice a round solitary stone. The white note is clearly visible on it.
In the search image, you initially only see the Vinewood Hills mountains. You will find the sought-after hint at the parking lot with the little house that has a ball on the roof.
Where is the note? Next to the little house with the ball on the roof, you will see a signpost or a large notice board made of wood. The hint note is pinned on the map within it.
The sought cemetery is located in the southwest of the map, near the pier. Near the small pond, you will find the gravestones shown in the search image.
Where is the note? One of the larger gravestones that you can also recognize in the search image is the find location of the note. It is located right by the path near a bench.
Travel to the west of the map to the vineyards. You will find them below the military base Fort Zancudo. A road leads through the vineyards. In a curve, where a small creek flows, you will find the hint.
Where is the note? Under the bridge that crosses the creek, you will find the sought note on a stone.
Travel to this location to the northeastern part of the map, right at the outer end of the solid part of the map. Near Sandy Shores.
Where is the note? The marked location on the map is a kind of observation platform. You will find the note on one of the wooden posts that point towards the pier.
Location 8 – Church / Chapel
The sought chapel is located near the airport in the desert. Quite centrally on the map. It is near a road that splits into various directions there.
Where is the note? You will find the note on one of the graves at the small cemetery in front of the chapel. One gravestone has a large cross on it, against which the note leans.
In the northwest of the map, above Raton Canyon, you will find the sought creek. The road forms a kind of M shape there, and the find location lies northeast of it.
Where is the note? You will find the sought note on a tree near the shore. Look from the shore towards the road.
You can easily find this location by first traveling to Trevor’s airport in the desert. At the marked location on the map, you will find the barricaded entrance to a former shaft.
Where is the note? You will find the note on the boards that barricaded the entrance.
The search image depicts a cross on a mountain, referring to the San Chianski Mountain in the northeast of the map. The find is off the path that leads through the mountain. It is best to arrive by helicopter.
Where is the note? The note hangs on the cross that is also visible in the search image. You will find the cross at the marked spot on the map.
For this hint, travel to the Los Santos golf club, which you find in the lower half of the map near the pier.
Where is the note? The sought bridge in the picture can be found at the lower eastern pond on the golf course. A note is attached to one of the bridge posts.
Location 15 – Paleto Bay – Beach with Broken Bridge
The search image shows a destroyed bridge at a beach. Surely you have been there before. The sought location is in the northwest of the map at Paleto Bay.
Where is the note? You will find the note pinned to one of the broken bridge posts below the bridge.
Location 16 – Tracks in the Mountains – Great Chaparral
The sought tracks can be found north of Vinewood Hills near Great Chaparral. A winding path runs through the mountain there. Within a curve is the find location.
Where is the note? The note can be found off the road in front of a barricaded entrance to the mountain. In front of that stands a wooden post to which the note is attached.
Location 17 – Mountains with Observation Platform and Sun in Sandy Shores
You reach this find location in Sandy Shores. The sought observation platform points towards the Alamo Sea. The find location is in the northeast of the map.
Where is the note? On the observation platform there is a wooden sign on which the sought note is attached.
You will find this large mountain in the north of the GTA Online map. Below Paleto Bay and above the desert. Travel to the gondola station at the peak of Mount Chiliad.
Where is the note? When you arrive at the top, you will find a small observation platform with a wooden sign on it. The note is pinned to the wooden sign.
For this find, you need to travel to the west of the map to the vineyards that you will find below Fort Zancudo. You should search at the point where the small road circles.
Where is the note? You will find the note directly on the sculpture depicted in the search image.
This search image leads you to the desert area in the northeast of the map. Near Trevor’s airfield, you will find the sought location.
Where is the note? This is located near one of the rocks in the search image. It is best to orient yourself to the marked point on the map.
If you examine the paper, three new targets will appear on your map. The three new locations can be found in the following section.
Now find 3 targets – Follow the clues to the solution
Once you have found the note, three targets will now appear on your map. No matter which location you found the note at, these three targets are always the same. So now visit these places to continue the treasure hunt.
Target 1: The first target is near the pier, where you were already able to find a note in Location 1. Travel to the question mark on the map. There you will find a broken wooden hut. In the broken hut, there is a shovel on the ground. That is the sought target.
Target 2: Target number 2 can also be found in Sandy Shores. Fly to the northern question mark and look for a single tree that stands directly by the road. In front of the tree, there is a small box on the ground. That is the second target.
Target 3: The third target is somewhat hidden. Fly into the mountains in the west of the map and keep an eye out for a cave. (I fell off a rock while searching, crashed, and landed right in front of the entrance.) The last target is hidden in the cave.
The find location of the Golden Revolver in GTA Online
Here you will find the revolver: Once you have explored all find locations, you can finally collect the revolver. The location of this weapon will now be displayed and is located at the airport in Sandy Shores. Fly there and collect the revolver.
This is how it continues: After you find the revolver, you need to make 50 headshots with this weapon. After 10 kills, you will receive a popup message in the game that informs you about the remaining headshots. Kills on other players or even pedestrians and police count.
After completing the headshot challenge, you will be credited with 250,000 GTA dollars. Additionally, you will receive an exclusive weapon in Red Dead Redemption 2.
In EA FC 25 you can now upgrade numerous, weaker icons. On MeinMMO, we provide you with the most important information about the new evolution (EVO) and have 5 inexpensive but strong options for less than 150,000 coins for you.
What is this EVO? “Legendary Upgrade” is the first exclusive Icon-EVO in FC 25. Here you can upgrade icons with new upgrades on all their stats. Only base icons with a total rating of a maximum of 88 rating points are allowed for the EVO.
The icon receives the following upgrades after completing the EVO:
Speed: +10 (max. 86)
Shooting: +6 (max. 90)
Passing: +8 (max. 86)
Dribbling: +5 (max. 89)
Defense: +2 (max. 89)
Physical: +2 (max. 85)
Weak Foot: +1★ (max. 4)
Skill Moves: +1★ (max. 4)
How do you get the EVO? To unlock the EVO, you need to complete a Squad Building Challenge named “Icon Evolution Upgrade.” To complete the EVO, you need a team with an 85 rating that includes a Team of the Week card. The cost for this is around 40,000 coins for the EVO.
Where can you find the Icon-EVO? Once you have completed the corresponding SBC, you can add the EVO to your club. Once the EVO is in your club, select the evolution menu and go to the “Cosmetic and Exclusive Content” tab. There, the EVO “Legendary Upgrade” will be available to you.

If you can spend more coins, you might also consider one of the following icons:
Patrick Vieira (CM) – France
Lilian Thuram (RB, CB) – France
The icons of Bastian Schweinsteiger (150,000 coins) and Laurent Blanc (170,000 coins) would also fit very well with the upgrades of the Icon-EVO, but unfortunately, both players are currently permanently out of stock (as of January 27, 2:00 PM). Maybe you get lucky and have one of them in your club or can get them with a little patience on the transfer market. For Team of the Year (TOTY), you can also create your own TOTY star in the EVOs.

Attention Spoiler: The following article contains minor spoilers regarding the upcoming comic series Star Wars: The Legacy of Vader.
Who is it about? In Star Wars: Episode 1, we meet Watto. He owns Shmi and young Anakin Skywalker as slaves. He is a large flying creature that behaves just as he looks.
Watto is a junk dealer on Tatooine and regularly lets Anakin participate in pod races but bets against him. After the race in Episode 1, Anakin is free, and later Shmi is also freed from Watto through gambling by the Lars family.
He exploited Anakin’s talent for technology, and after his liberation, he realized how important Anakin was for his business. As master of the two Skywalkers, he was not exactly kind.
In Episode 2, Anakin and Watto meet again because he is searching for his mother. There, a large battle against the Tusken Raiders takes place, which is the first big step to the dark side.
A new comic shows that later, Anakin as Darth Vader returned to Watto. However, this did not end well for the junk dealer.

Darth Vader paid Watto a visit
What is this new story about? In February, the first issue of Star Wars: The Legacy of Vader by author Charles Soule and artist Luke Ross will be released. It actually revolves around Kylo Ren, who tries to figure out what it means to be the heir of Vader between Episodes 8 and 9.
For this, he tries to explore his grandfather’s past. As a preview for the second issue, panels have already been shown (via x.com). You can see Kylo Ren on Tatooine with some kind of cyborg.
It seems he also sees a vision of Vader, in which Vader is choking Watto with his force grip. In one panel, you can see Watto’s pain reflecting in Vader’s eyes. While it is not clear whether Watto dies, given Vader’s known behavior, one can assume that Watto does not come out unscathed.
In another panel, it appears that Kylo Ren is likely commenting on what he has seen with: That shouldn’t be the story. That should be erased. But this could also be a reaction to something else; the preview does not reveal this exactly.
In the upcoming series, Kylo Ren will not only deal with the past. In Tatooine, he will also have to confront the Hutt clan and other creatures.
When can I read the story? The first issue of The Legacy of Vader will be released on February 5 in the English digital version in Germany. Issue 2 follows on March 12, 2025.
Anyone who prefers to have a complete version will have to wait until September 30, 2025, when several issues will be published as a larger volume.
Over the weekend, Dune: Awakening is trending on Steam, even though the survival MMO hasn’t been released yet. The reason for this is likely to please the fans.
What kind of game is this? Dune: Awakening is an upcoming open-world survival MMO by Funcom, set on the desert planet Arrakis. In an alternate reality where Paul Atreides was never born, the Houses Atreides and Harkonnen are fighting a war for supremacy.
You take on the role of an adventurer and can team up with up to three other gamers to survive in the dangerous environment. But playing solo is also possible, although you must always be on a server for that.
The game features an action-oriented combat system from a third-person perspective, allowing you to use advanced weapons and technologies against NPCs and players. Dune: Awakening offers both PvE and PvP mechanics but primarily focuses on survival elements.
You will need to take care of your water supply and stay in the shadows to protect yourself from the sun. There will also be an extensive base-building system. The goal of the survival MMO is the resource “Spice,” which you can collect to sell on the market or consume to enhance your abilities.
Here you can watch the trailer for Dune: Awakening:

Thousands of players and no release
Why does Dune: Awakening have thousands of gamers now? Those who monitored the trends on SteamDB over the weekend may have noticed that at times over 2,500 players were online in Dune: Awakening simultaneously, even though the survival MMO hasn’t been released yet.
The closed beta likely provides all adventurers with a so-called “Non-Disclosure Agreement,” or “NDA,” a type of confidentiality agreement that prohibits testers from discussing their experiences. On Reddit, some users also indirectly confirm that they are part of an ongoing test, even if they don’t reveal anything directly about the game.
What kind of test is this? Since the beta is happening in secret, it is unclear which elements are being focused on. However, since the game is about to be released, it is conceivable that the developers want to gather feedback one last time before revealing the exact release date to the community.
What is striking is that concepts for new things in the game are repeatedly created and discussed in the community. This starts with new card ideas and ends with complete features.
And exactly such a discussion is currently focusing on a feature that players would like to see. Even though that wasn’t the main topic.

A Dark Mode for Pokémon TCG Pocket – Would that be something?
In the subreddit for Pokémon TCG Pocket, user Mikefromto shared his new idea for a feature: the “Wonder Pack”. His idea, as the user describes, is that you could randomly open one of the other packs through this pack. This way, you wouldn’t have to decide which one to open when you are still missing cards from all packs.
However, in the post where the user presents his concept, something entirely different grabs the attention of the players: a Dark Mode.
In his presentation, Mikefromto has colored the general background of the game dark. You can see what that looks like in his post:

This is what the comments say: In the comments, some players express their excitement about the idea of making the game a bit darker. User “Catastropes” has the top comment with over 1,200 upvotes on the post, which itself has 1,400 upvotes. It says: “The Dark Mode alone is the best thing you have done.”
And many users agree with that.
Why a Dark Mode? A Dark Mode would be a feature that would actually benefit the game. Because Pokémon TCG Pocket is a very bright game.
Especially when lying in bed at night and wanting to play a few rounds, the overall appearance of the game is very bright. Even the first intro screen with the logos of the developers starts with a glaring white, and otherwise, the backgrounds of all game elements are kept very bright.
Many users like to use Dark Modes in various apps on their smartphones, especially when using them in the dark. However, Pokémon TCG Pocket completely lacks such an option.

But now we come to your 3 favorites.
The Top 3 of the MeinMMO community
Place 3: Sirius Black
Result: 16 % with 196 votes
Sirius Black was more than just a godfather to Harry – he was a connection to his past, a piece of the family that Harry never got to know properly. In Sirius, Harry found not only someone who understood him but also an ally, a friend, and a father figure that he had missed all those years with the Dursleys.
Sirius was brave and never gave up. His greatest wish was to give Harry a home, a sense of safety and family that both of them missed so much. But this dream was shattered when Sirius was killed by Bellatrix Lestrange at the Ministry. As he fell through the veil, it felt like Harry was losing another piece of himself.
Place 2: Severus Snape
Result: 17 % with 208 votes
Severus Snape – the grim teacher that we long believed to be the villain. But then the truth came. Snape dies in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2) when Voldemort unleashes Nagini upon him, believing that Snape’s death would give him control over the Elder Wand.
His death is brutal and cold, but what comes afterward hits even deeper.
As Harry views Snape’s memories, the truth is finally revealed. His love for Lily, his loyalty to Dumbledore, and his sacrifices for Harry and the greater good made him a true hero. Everything he did – his secrets, his sacrifices, his facade – was to protect Harry and stop Voldemort.
This has clearly etched him forever in your hearts. After all this time? – Always.
The little house-elf has easily taken the first place – and it surprises no one. Dobby’s death is one of the most heartbreaking moments of the entire series. He dies in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1) while rescuing Harry, Ron, and Hermione from the Malfoys’ manor. Bellatrix Lestrange throws a knife at him while they are disapparating, which ultimately fatally hits him.
Dobby’s selfless sacrifice to save Harry and his friends has brought tears to everyone – even after the 10th rewatch. His last words to Harry – “Dobby is so happy that his friend is with him” – encompass everything that made him so special: his unconditional love, his loyalty, and his pure heart.
He has immortalized himself through his actions and secured a place at the top of your hearts.
Interviews are not just about a candidate’s professional suitability, but also about their personality and problem-solving abilities. An often overlooked, yet revealing test is the “Wobble Test,” where the candidate sits on a wobbly chair. The reaction to this small inconvenience is observed and assessed.
What is this test? The “Wobble Test” can be used in an interview to assess a candidate’s reaction to an unpleasant situation. This method is unobtrusive, yet informative and is based on psychological studies, similar to the water glass test (via arbeits-abc.de). The goal of the test is to find out how well the candidate handles small challenges and how they react to a disturbing situation.
How is it carried out? During the conversation, the candidate is placed on a chair that is intentionally wobbly. The interviewer observes how the candidate reacts. Next to the wobbly chair, there is usually also a stable chair nearby. This is meant to see if the candidate continues the conversation or asks for another chair. Special attention is paid to how the candidate deals with the situation.

The reactions and how they are evaluated
1. Stay calm and continue: Those who are not distracted by the inconvenience of the wobbly chair and continue the conversation demonstrate high resilience. The ability to remain focused suggests good concentration skills.
This reaction can be rated positively, as it reflects the ability to remain calm in uncomfortable moments and focus on what matters.
2. Change seats or ask for help: It is also possible to address the wobbly chair and ask for a more stable model.
This active response can be seen as solution-oriented and thus positive. In this case, the candidate shows that they are willing to address problems and seek solutions. The manner in which the chair is addressed is also observed: politely and respectfully or rather demanding and impatient.
3. Complain without seeking a solution: Another option is to mention the wobbly chair without doing anything about it. Those who focus on the problem of the chair without looking for a solution may be perceived as passive or inflexible.
This reaction may indicate that the candidate has difficulties concentrating or addressing problems. Even though the reaction is not necessarily negative, it is generally not rated as highly.
In Path of Exile 2, you can enchant almost all items with new values to make them even more powerful. However, those who are not so lucky can easily destroy their items, as one player proves.
Which ring is it about? The player mozilla666fox recently showed on Reddit how bad things can go in Path of Exile 2 when you have bad luck. He possessed the unique ring “Ventors Gamble Gold Ring”. The piece of jewelry already had very good values:
+ 51% rarer item drops
+ 70 maximum life
+ 20 willpower
+ 39% fire resistance
+ 40% cold resistance
+ 35% lightning resistance
Such values are nearly perfect and therefore very rare. The ring was also not yet corrupted. This means it was still possible to change the values of the item, and mozilla666fox did so, with a shocking result.
Do you already know this NPC from Path of Exile 2?

Community pushes the player
How did the enchanting go? The user mozilla666fox posted his ring in the in-game chat of Path of Exile 2. But instead of congratulating him on his good item, the players urged him to enchant the item with a Vaal Orb.
With this enchantment, almost any value of the item can be changed, removed, or replaced. An enchantment with a Vaal Orb cannot be undone. The item remains corrupted. Therefore, performing the enchantment is extremely risky – and with items that have already landed in the inventory with nearly perfect values, it is more than reckless.
Pushed by the messages in the chat, mozilla666fox enchanted his ring with the aforementioned Vaal Orb. However, the end result did not turn out as desired. The new values of the item were:
– 12% rarer item drops
+ 81 maximum life
+ 18 willpower
– 28% cold resistance
– 17% lightning resistance
Everything that had made the ring strong before has now turned negative. The values of the item are so weak that it is probably better to wear nothing instead of the item. In short: The once valuable ring is now scrap.
How did the community react? The gamers who had spurred him on to do this are laughing at the result. On Reddit, the community posts many memes that make fun of the player’s bad luck. The owner of the ring took it all with humor. He says that the situation still sweetened his evening:
I risk pretty much every heavy belt, every stellar amulet, and every gold ring I find. It’s easy to do something because there’s a small chance that something might happen at some point. In an incredible stroke of luck, I managed to snag this nearly perfect beauty and linked it in the chat.
Of course, they challenged me, and I needed a good laugh, so I did it. I even got an omen for the extra risk. Anyway, I would like to thank everyone for the F in the chat, it sweetened my evening.
Although the once valuable item of the gamer is now just scrap, its owner can at least laugh about it. The example of the ring nicely shows that enchanting items in Path of Exile 2 can be as harsh and unforgiving as the game itself. The rings in PoE2 are not even the most annoying items, as the community finds: Players of Path of Exile 2 demand changes in loot, especially one type of item annoys them

On February 4, 2025, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 will be released.Time to recall the events of Part 1– at least that’s what MeinMMO editor Alexander Schürlein thought.But after a short time in the game, he realized that a repetition is also sensible for another reason.
It is February 13, 2018. A new role-playing game makes its debut, which had somehow captivated me from its very first trailer. As a huge fan of medieval settings and profound role-playing games, I simply had to have Kingdom Come Deliverance.
So, it was done, and the adventure of Heinrich moved into my PlayStation 4. I was instantly enchanted. The whole atmosphere captivated me and allowed me to sink completely into it. I must say that I am someone who really enjoys visiting medieval markets and has often participated in them in the past.
Kingdom Come Deliverance struck right in this vein with its entire presentation. It had sneaked into my heart within minutes. However, this was somewhat dampened when it came to the first battles. There I received quite a beating and felt like I couldn’t do anything against it.
In my view, the combat system turned out to be the Achilles’ heel of the otherwise great role-playing game, even after longer gameplay. To prepare myself for the second part, I started another playthrough a few weeks ago. So that I am mentally equipped for the renewed frustrations.
Who is writing here? MeinMMO editor Alexander is a devoted fan of medieval and role-playing games. In his life, he easily racks up several thousand hours in various role-playing games and dedicates a significant portion of his free time to the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 presents dark prospects for Heinrich in the new story trailer
From Apprentice Blacksmith to Knight
What is terrible about the combat system? With a more realistic and as authentic as possible approach, you start as what Heinrich actually is: a young man who works as an apprentice in his father’s forge. He has combat experience mostly from tavern brawls, which makes sense.
Just because he forges swords and knows how to wield them does not mean he has a chance in a realistic fight. You have to actively practice so that Heinrich can do something against his tormentors. And that’s quite a bit and for a long time.
Moreover, practice is not only important for Heinrich’s stats but definitely also for the player himself. Because the combat system differs significantly from what you are used to in action RPGs. Attacks come from various directions, which also have to be parried and countered.
Additionally, there are some maneuvers where you can grab or shove the opponent. The tutorial briefly explains how all this works. However, I felt that it did not adequately prepare you for the world “out there”.
Fights in Kingdom Come Deliverance often have to be well planned and approached with caution. The rather clumsy controls do not help and require quite some practice. Besides input errors, which lead to Heinrich not executing what you pressed, suddenly appearing enemy groups can make your life hell.
Since you play the game in first-person perspective, you hardly notice what the enemies beside or behind you are doing, and can respond correspondingly little. Additionally, the camera and controls make it difficult to target and eliminate specific enemies.
This can quickly lead to dying despite good planning and careful tactics. And depending on when it was last saved, this can easily result in losing significant gameplay progress. This has frustrated me quite a bit and only improved somewhat after I had invested many hours into the game.
Why is additional practice useful as preparation for Part 2? Especially because the combat system is different from many others in typical role-playing games, it can’t hurt to refresh the practice. I have found that after such a long break, one quickly feels just like Heinrich at the beginning of the game – like a complete loser.
It takes time to adjust to the combat system and to get used to the controls. You have to develop individual systems that suit your playstyle to compensate for the weaknesses of the combat system. Since Heinrich has, of course, developed within the story in Part 2, it doesn’t feel so good for me to start the next adventure with this knowledge.
Therefore, I use the time until the release so that I can hopefully continue my journey at Heinrich’s side with much less frustration.
Why is Kingdom Come Deliverance still so good? Fights in Kingdom Come Deliverance are important but only make up a small part of the whole. I had the time of my life while searching for plants for alchemy, hunting in the forests, or competing with other knights in tournaments.
For me, the game belongs among the best medieval simulations and is a really great role-playing game despite its technical weaknesses. And I am very curious to see how Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 will ultimately perform.
Making money from your own living room is a dream for many. For some German-speaking streamers, this dream has come true. Especially in January 2025, the income from subscriptions on Twitch seems to be flowing particularly well: Among the top 20 streamers on Twitch with the most paid subscriptions, there are 8 streamers and streamer teams from our region, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Particularly pleasing: 2 women are included as well. They were rarely found among the top earners in the past.
Where are the numbers from? The page “Twitch Tracker” lists the subscriptions of individual streamers. The numbers on Twitch Tracker are the generally accepted figures that the streamers themselves look at as well. However, whether the number is always accurate to 5 decimal places is unknown.
The number of hours each streamer was live in the last 30 days was obtained from Sullygnome.

What is the value of such a subscription? A tier 1 subscription costs €4.99 in Germany. Streamers who meet certain requirements and thus become partners of Twitch receive 70% of the revenue. Besides Twitch fees, money also goes to the tax office and PayPal.
Typically, a subscription counts for one month and must be renewed afterward.
Besides tier-1 subscriptions, which also come as subscriptions through Prime or can be gifted, there are more expensive, higher-tier subscriptions. Additionally, streamers have numerous other revenue sources, such as direct marketing or advertising revenue. However, both are not relevant for our article; we exclude that.
In our article, we consider only tier-1 subscriptions. The actual revenues of the streamers are likely to be significantly higher. We use a subscription calculator to arrive at the numbers (via gaming-tools): It already deducts the share of Twitch, the fee costs of PayPal, and part of the taxes.
Metashi12 is a WoW streamer who recently switched to League of Legends and creates quite a bit of age-restricted content: He is known for his crude humor. Metashi is the first German-speaking top earner on Twitch that we will look at.
Metashi12 has 22,559 subscriptions. This puts him at about €51,000 in monthly income from subscriptions on Twitch. In the last month, he had an average of 4,737 viewers on Twitch.
Scratch in Baldur’s Gate 3 is important. So important that he can even translate your main character to negotiate with demons.
In Baldur’s Gate 3, there are some exciting encounters with denizens of hell. Besides the archdevil Raphael, who constantly wants to tempt you, you will also meet the demonic Yurgir during the trials of Shar. Depending on the course of the conversation, he sees you as an enemy or a potential ally. However, the fight can be quite tough.
It’s even better when you don’t have to start the conversation yourself – but simply can send in the best dog of the game, Scratch.
There are many secrets in Baldur’s Gate 3:

What happened? In the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit, ThrowRW_dependent reports that he made a small “mistake”. Instead of approaching the demon Yurgir with his hero party, he went to scout the area with Scratch.
A generally good way to explore the area – but Scratch was abruptly drawn into a dialogue with the archdemon Yurgir. Instead of talking to the hero party, it seems that Yurgir is satisfied just debating with the furry four-legged companion:

Why is this possible? Scratch is considered a full-fledged group member for some dialogues, treated almost like Tav (the main character). This means that Scratch can also trigger some dialogues that would normally require humanoid characters.
This leads to conversations like this one, where Scratch debates with the demon Yurgir. Since Scratch can give the exact same answers as Tav, it seems to be a glitch – albeit an amusing one.
That Yurgir can talk to animals is also not entirely illogical. The demon keeps a “Displacer Beast,” which he has subdued by garnishing its food with the saliva of a succubus – this makes the beast feel infatuated and loyal to the demon. Hopefully, Scratch doesn’t fall into the same trap.
Every loyal dog deserves a particularly heroic moment. And this Scratch will probably not forget how he defended his territory – or his party – in a conversation with a powerful demon.
A German-speaking Twitch streamer is withdrawing from public life indefinitely and wants to take a break. The reason: his mental state and his suspicion that he is heading towards burnout.
Who is this Twitch streamer? This is the Twitch streamer Hugo “LetsHugo” Goedert. He is from Luxembourg and gained fame by participating in the “No Food” challenge by Twitch colleague Trymacs.
He is now one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. Last year, he had an average of about 3,900 viewers per stream and over 1 million followers on Twitch in total (via sullygnome).

“I feel mentally like you would throw a glass bottle on the ground”
Why does Hugo need a break? In one of his last live streams on January 21, 2025, Hugo said that he is under a lot of stress privately. He added: “I feel mentally like you would throw a glass bottle on the ground.” He also suspects that he is moving towards burnout.
Burnout syndrome can affect any of us, regardless of age or profession. Chronic exhaustion and lack of recovery can lead to significant health consequences that you should not underestimate. In the NDR guide, you will find all information about the syndrome, possible symptoms, and first aid offers.
He further stated that streaming itself is not exhausting, but everything around it makes it tiring. Physically, it is not demanding, but “it is a mental thing.”
In the off-chat of his live stream, he wrote on January 22, 2025, among other things: “I am withdrawing indefinitely. This will probably be my last sign of life. For now.”
What is Hugo doing now? Hugo is now planning a trip to Japan and promised his viewers that he would stream from an internet cafe there in the evenings. He would focus on unwinding, but for him, gaming is not exhausting, so he could stream four or five hours a day.
Additionally, he wants to undergo therapy again.
One of his editors posted a compilation on YouTube of stream clips in which Hugo talks about his mental state and his planned trip to Japan:

Dynamax Zapdos appears in Pokémon GO. How can you defeat Zapdos? We will show you in the guide to the Dynamax boss.
When will Dynamax Zapdos be available? Dynamax Zapdos will first appear on January 27, 2025, during Dyna Monday. It will run from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and it will appear at pretty much all energy sources.
After that, you will have another week to encounter Dynamax Zapdos at different energy sources before it is replaced by Lavados on February 3.
However, keep in mind: Zapdos is a legendary Dynamax boss and will therefore not be easy to defeat. While it may not be as difficult as against Gigadynamax bosses, you should still prepare well for the battle. We will show you 4 tips on how to do that.
Start video
Dynamax in Pokémon Go – How to participate in the gigantic battles
1. Use the best counters against Dynamax Zapdos
What weaknesses does Zapdos have? Zapdos has the types Electric and Flying. This gives it a double weakness to Rock and Ice type attacks. You should avoid Ground type attacks. Read more about it in the type chart for Pokémon GO.
Which Pokémon against Dynamax Zapdos? So far, there are no Dynamax Pokémon in Pokémon GO that have a Rock-type attack. Therefore, Ice-type attacks are your best choice. However, you run the risk of having your Pokémon quickly defeated if you have Electric weaknesses. This applies to Articuno or Lapras, for example. It is best to swap these out to avoid damage.
Your options in the Ice category are:
Gigadynamax Lapras with a Dyna Ice attack
Dynamax Articuno with a Dyna Ice attack
Dynamax Frigometri with a Dyna Ice attack
Otherwise, focus on Pokémon like:
Dynamax or Gigadynamax Riffex
Gengar, as Dynamax or Gigadynamax
Pokémon to defend against Zapdos: You can bring a total of three Pokémon into battle. Also bring Pokémon that can take damage until your Dynamax gauge is nearly full, and then swap in your attackers to utilize their Dynamax form.
Suitable defenders are:
Riffex (Dynamax or Gigadynamax)
Dynamax Stalobor
Dynamax Bisaflor
Dynamax Metagross
2. Swap your Pokémon and don’t just attack
As a 5-star boss, Zapdos has some power. Therefore, as mentioned above, you should ensure that you use your team to the best of its ability.
So use your defenders to fill the Dyna gauge so that your attackers don’t take too much damage and can hopefully make use of multiple Dynamax phases. You want to hit Zapdos as often as possible with very effective attacks.
Once the Dyna phase is over, switch back to the defender.
Important: Depending on the size of your group, you should ensure that trainers also work to obtain shields or recharge your Pokémon’s hit points through corresponding Dyna attacks. Don’t just all attack. Divide into roles and make sure you fill these strategically.
3. Don’t fight alone, use friends
While there are videos of trainers defeating Dyna Zapdos solo, this will not be the norm. The 5-star Dynamax boss is hard to defeat if you don’t have the absolute top counters at maximum level.
Therefore, try to collaborate with multiple trainers. Defeating Zapdos in pairs is possible, and it becomes easier if there are more of you. A Dyna battle accommodates a total of four people – and ideally, you should fill all spots.
Some trainers do not pay attention to the level of their Dynamax Pokémon. However, just like in normal raids, your Pokémon perform better in Dyna battles the higher their level is.
Important: Ensure that your Pokémon also have Dyna attacks of the correct type. A Lapras is of no use to you if it attacks with Water attacks. With a Fast TM, you can change your Pokémon’s attacks. The type of your Pokémon’s Fast attack determines which Dyna attack it has.
With good preparation, you should be able to defeat Dynamax Zapdos and add it to your collection. You have one week before Dynamax Lavados takes advantage of the first Dyna Monday in February to make its debut. And if you want to know what else is happening next month: Here are all events in Pokémon GO in February 2025.

In the books and films of Harry Potter 3, there is a mistake that at first glance confuses the logic of the story. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that it is necessary for a twist near the end to work at all.
Warning Spoiler: We reveal an important twist from Harry Potter 3 in the article.
In “The Prisoner of Azkaban,” the third part of Harry Potter, the Marauder’s Map is introduced. It is a magical map that shows the grounds of Hogwarts – and all the people who are on it.
The map allows one to not only see the location of a person. Even if someone moves, this becomes apparent. In other words: for those using the map, nearly nothing goes unnoticed.
Therefore, it seems all the more strange that Fred and George Weasley overlook the presence of an important figure at Hogwarts. For three years, a wanted murderer has been hiding in transformed form right next to the brother pair – it is not the only mistake in Harry Potter.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban – Trailer for the 3rd Part of the Fantasy Series
A twist that shouldn’t have been
Who is hiding? Like every student at Hogwarts, Ron also brings a pet in Part 1. Namely the rat Scabbers, which used to belong to Percy.
At the end of Part 3, it is revealed that Scabbers is an Animagus. That is, a wizard who disguises himself as an animal. It is Peter Pettigrew. He was a school friend of Sirius Black, James Potter, and Remus Lupin, but later joined Voldemort.
Ultimately, he was responsible for betraying the Potters to the dark lord – and thus also for the death of Harry’s parents. However, Peter Pettigrew faked his own death and ensured that Sirius Black was suspected of murder and brought to Azkaban.
Back to the Marauder’s Map: At the latest, when Ron comes to Hogwarts with Scabbers in Part 1, Fred and George should have noticed after looking at the map that this is a transformed wizard.
For the map shows the true name of everyone, whether Animagus or not. Fred and George should have seen that Peter Pettigrew is sleeping in Ron’s bed – a criminal whom everyone at that time believes to be dead.
Only when Harry receives the map does it eventually occur to him that Pettigrew’s name appears there. This ultimately leads to the twist in the story: Peter Pettigrew is alive, and Sirius was wrongly accused of betrayal.
The twist would not have worked if the Weasley brothers had noticed earlier that Scabbers is actually a transformed wizard.
How is this to be explained? Perhaps it is simply a mistake that J.K. Rowling made while writing. Another explanation would be that Fred and George did not know the name Peter Pettigrew. However, since he is very well known, this is rather unlikely.
And even if they did not know him, it seems strange that it was not questioned why a stranger was sleeping in Ron’s bed. Overall, it is a mistake that ultimately served the story and its twists. For this reason, it is easily forgivable. On the other hand, Rowling regrets other decisions: A couple from Harry Potter is still a big mistake for the author today

Generation Z is considered very unpopular as employees. Many employers prefer to hire an AI rather than a college graduate. Yet many young people are themselves dissatisfied with their studies.
In a new survey by Hult International Business School, 1,600 employers and full-time employees in the USA were asked about their current job situation. And almost 40 percent of employers stated that they would prefer to hire a robot over a college graduate.
Kevin Thompson, a financial expert and founder and CEO of 9i Capital Group, told Newsweek that it is not particularly surprising if companies are excited about AI. Because a robot is significantly cheaper and more efficient than a human employee. He says:
It is about economy and efficiency. It is much easier and cheaper to train an AI to perform tasks than to train a person and pay them for it. AI performs tasks precisely as programmed at a fraction of the cost. Many employers recognize the value of using AI to manage basic tasks, especially in support functions and entry-level positions.
Completely differently sees the consultant Bryan Driscoll. He also explained to Newsweek that AI is unsurprisingly more popular because it is cheaper and less demanding. But the problem is not Gen Z, but rather the employers who have unrealistic expectations. Driscoll states:
Of course, employers would rather use AI than humans – it is cheaper, requires no health care or basic human rights, and does not take vacation days. It is not about a lack of skills in Generation Z, but about employers trying to escape responsibility.
They have spent decades financing training programs and shifting the burden of skill development onto employees, and then complain when new hires do not meet their expectations.

Few “talents” in circulation, but graduates are unwanted
What is the problem? Many companies surveyed state that they have great difficulties finding people with the appropriate talent for their company. The extent of the problem is also shown by the survey: Almost all, 98 percent of executives, stated that their company has problems finding talent.
A significant majority also stated that they do not want and will not hire college graduates. That is 89% of those surveyed. When asked why they did not want to hire college graduates, companies gave various reasons:
College graduates lack practical experience (60%).
They lack a global mindset (57%).
Many do not know how to work well in a team (55%).
The education of graduates is too expensive (53%).
Many individuals simply do not have the right skills (51%).
Applicants simply have too poor manners when dealing with others (50%).
Among the respondents, many stated that they are dissatisfied with their degree in hindsight:
94% regret their degree.
43% of participants stated that they feel doomed to fail because they chose the wrong field of study.
Of the respondents, 77% add: In a 6-month training, one learns more than in 4 years of study.
And a shift away from studying has been observed for some time among younger people. Because instead of studying, many young people are currently looking for a job. The people asked mention jobs such as mechanics, landscape gardeners, or cleaning specialists. Many are primarily seeking jobs in areas where there is a desperate need for new talent: Generation Z has just made a tough decision: They start working

Just a few days after the release of Season 7, there is a new OP build in Diablo 4. This time from the class no one expected: Druid. However, it seems that no planned interaction is the reason for the strength – or at least not just that.
The build utilizes the namesake Ultimate Cataclysm and various interactions to strengthen it.
Since release, Druids have been considered one of the weaker or even the weakest class, which has always been treated poorly. However, their rise in Season 7 is not solely due to buffs.
What makes the Cataclysm Druid so strong? As a Cataclysm Druid, you deal guaranteed critical hits and overwhelm damage. Both are already strong multipliers in themselves, but with the new Witch Powers and items, the Cataclysm gets even stronger.
The trick of the build is called “snapshotting.” This means: you stack as many buffs as possible to enhance the next use of Cataclysm. Then you maintain the skill until the map is finished. However, the cooldown must be sufficiently reduced.
With this build, multiple millions, maybe billions of damage points are planned. However, Diablo expert Rob shows in a video that the damage continues to scale upwards and apparently has no end.
In a clip, Rob finally shows that the Cataclysm build can inflict negative damage (via YouTube). It shows -9 trillion (a 9 followed by 18 zeros) damage, which is obviously not intended.
Update: The issue has now been resolved. According to the patch notes, the infinite scaling was due to a bug with the Witch Power Willensstärke (via Diablo forums).

Blizzard only fixes bugs when they interfere with the game
Druids were the undisputed masters of the Tier List for the first while – but only due to the bug. Blizzard has the philosophy of only fixing bugs during a season when they affect the player experience of other players or the performance.
For this reason, an OP build of the Spiritborn in Season 6 remained strong until the end.
On the other hand, Blizzard had already fixed a similar bug with negative damage before. However, we cannot say how much the bug affected performance.
The strongest build in Season 7 without obvious bugs is currently the Blood Wave Necromancer. If you want to stick with the Druid, the Tear and Ripping builds are suitable. You can find all top builds in our Tier List with the strongest builds for Diablo 4 Season 7.

Playing a warrior in World of Warcraft is sometimes not fun – it can be physically painful. Blizzard wants to fix this now.
If you want to play World of Warcraft at a high level, you often have to use many abilities in a very short frequency – and preferably do so meaningfully. This is more pronounced for some classes and less so for others. However, one specialization has to perform so many actions per minute that it is downright painful for some players.
Therefore, Blizzard wants to adjust the protection warrior and reduce the number of abilities that are used.
Similarly absurd are some bugs in WoW:
Start video
3 absurde Bugs, die in WoW passiert sind
What is the problem with the protection warrior? Protection warriors currently have to perform too many actions per minute (“APM”). This is mainly due to their high rage generation, which forces them to use abilities without cooldown continually just to spend it at all. Instead of using an ability every 1.5 seconds like most other classes, warriors often need to use abilities much more frequently. According to Blizzard in the official WoW forum:
High APM, especially when continuously using abilities that are not affected by the global cooldown, such as Shield Block or Bite the Bullet, can be uncomfortable or even downright painful for some players.
One of the culprits driving up APM is the high rage generation that leads to excess rage being spent on Bite the Bullet. Therefore, many of the new changes aim to lower spontaneous rage generation and shift more of it to regular sources, so you always have enough rage for your mitigation and rotation without having to constantly spend some of it on non-cooldown abilities.
Or to put it simply: Protection warriors generate so much rage that they hardly know how to spend it. This leads to them spamming many abilities just to get rid of some rage.
What will change? Blizzard has identified the ability Shield Slam as the culprit. This is one of the most important abilities for protection warriors, as it generates a lot of rage and also deals a significant amount of damage. Especially “Tactician” and “Devastator” cause additional issues here. Therefore, the proc chance with which Shield Slam is reset will be reduced.
The changes will go live with Patch 11.1 Lorenhalt. Protection warriors should then be a bit more enjoyable to play, and it should also be easy to get through dungeons and raids without getting your fingers tangled on the keyboard. However, it will still take a few weeks until then.

On January 24, 2025, The Quinfall launched in Early Access. The ambitious MMORPG leaves a catastrophic impression once again. But one thing is even worse.
How did the Early Access launch go? Server issues, outdated technology, unfinished content, bugs, empty open world – MeinMMO had already reported on the first impressions of Early Access buyers over the weekend from the Early Access buyers.
In the meantime, the developers have applied some hotfixes and conducted server restarts. However, you should still not expect a gaming experience that justifies the purchase price of around 20 euros. Accordingly, the average user ratings stand at a catastrophic 26 percent, resulting in a “mostly negative” (with over 1,800 reviews so far).
It also speaks volumes that the peak on Friday, with 6,081 simultaneous players (via steamdb.info), could not be topped over the past weekend. On Sunday, for example, there were only a maximum of 3,479 players simultaneously on the servers. No wonder: Many reviewers on Steam have refunded the product.

Bad game, harsh monetization
What drives many players crazy? Those who have followed the beta have surely already feared that the inexperienced team from Vawraek Technology Inc. could fail the ambitious plans for the MMORPG. It seems – as of now – almost utopian that the game can reach a sufficiently good condition within the target six months until the final launch.
What many buyers of the Early Access version hold against the people responsible for The Quinfall is the already implemented monetization of the MMORPG:
Access to Early Access costs 19.50 euros.
There is an in-game shop as well as the sale of premium subscriptions through which players can activate benefits such as bonuses for XP, gold, additional inventory space, or weight restrictions (via mmorpg.org.pl).
What does the community say about this?
TuffMelon complains on Steam: “Many of the positive reviews overlook an important detail: There is already a cash shop. The basic mechanics of the game barely work, but the game has a cash shop.”
Emil criticizes on Steam: “The game is in a very mixed state, but there is a fully equipped cash shop with 2-3 different subscription options and a lot of cosmetics, some of which even cost more than the game itself.”
Lazeras writes on Steam: “Another money scam disguised as a game. Most core functions of the game do not work, obviously they are focusing on microtransactions. If they don’t stop, the game will obviously revolve only around the cash shop. Better avoid this scam and find a real indie game that’s worth buying.”
The first major multiplayer release for the year 2025 has turned out to be quite mixed. However, you can look forward to many more upcoming releases in the coming months that should be much more fun.
