Can you catch Shiny Aerodactyl? Yes, if you win the battle, you might encounter a shiny specimen with some luck. You can recognize it by its pink body.

Aerodactyl normal (left) and as Shiny (right).

How many players are needed? We recommend groups of at least two players, so that the raid can be completed relatively quickly. Note that you should use the top attackers and they should be at a high level. Trainers at the lower level should opt for larger groups.

Ideally, you should already assemble your raid team in advance. This saves you time in each individual raid lobby and ensures that you have your best team ready in every lobby: This way, you keep track of your raid teams and save a lot of time.

Only half of all accounts banned by Escape from Tarkov are cheaters – Some of the punished players are primarily one thing: money-hungry

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

Escape from Tarkov has already banned over 25,000 players in 2026, but many of them were banned because they wanted to make money with the shooter.

What does Escape from Tarkov say about the bans? The developers of Escape from Tarkov have discussed the anti-cheat system of the extraction shooter in a blog post. They shared a graphic that provides more precise information about banned players (via escapefromtarkov.com).

In total, over 25,000 players were banned from January to March. However, only 54% of these 25,000 players were cheaters. The remaining 46% are divided into:

  • 16% – RMT sellers
  • 6% – RMT buyers
  • 24% – Others

Additionally, the developers emphasize that they do not only ban players when they publish lists of banned accounts, contrary to community rumors. Sanctions take place on a daily basis.

Escape from Tarkov zeigt das Gameplay zum 1.0-Release im Trailer

What are the violations that Tarkov bans? RMT stands for “Real Money Trading” and describes trading with real money. Players illegally buy or sell in-game items like keycards or the in-game currency “Rubles” for real money on external websites like eBay.

Sellers are often cheaters who cheat items and want to earn real money this way. Buyers are usually unsuspecting players who want to skip the grind. “Real Money Trading” is considered one of the main reasons for the cheating problem of the shooter, as the financial gain presents an additional incentive.

Under the “Others” category of banned players fall accounts that use automated methods like bots and scripts to level up character skills or join and die in raids to lower the K/D. The latter is especially done by cheaters who want to hide their suspicious K/D this way.

What the developers say about the future: In the blog post, the developers also explained that they want to introduce new systems to detect cheaters and better compensation for players who died due to a cheater.

Additionally, TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are to be introduced in the fight against cheaters. These are options that more and more games are relying on, but they must be enabled in your system’s BIOS.

Players who wanted to play Battlefield 6 in 2025 had to activate both TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot.

Steam could soon receive one of the most useful features ever, so you won’t waste money on poorly performing games

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

A user has discovered signs of a potentially upcoming feature for Steam that is supposed to prevent FPS issues.

In February 2026, Valve released a beta version of Steam that allowed Valve to collect data regarding your frame rate. Steam then observed how many FPS you had in a game.

At that time, Valve stated that this information would help to learn more about game compatibility and improve Steam. The feature was primarily aimed at devices running SteamOS. However, a Steam user has recently noticed that some new features have been added to the beta version.

Steam might estimate your FPS in the future

What is this feature? As explained by the user on Resetera, these new features could indicate a feature on Steam that provides an estimate of the expected frame rate in a game.

The feature is titled “Framerate Estimator” in an attached screenshot:

Steam Framerate Estimator

The screenshot also shows that for the potentially upcoming feature, you will likely have to provide various details about your system such as the CPU or GPU you are using, as well as select a specific game.

Subsequently, the feature would likely present you with an estimate of how many FPS you could achieve in that particular game.

What benefit does this have? Many games are not perfectly optimized upon release and have performance issues. This is particularly frustrating for full-price titles, as you pay a lot of money and then receive a game that has low FPS or even stutters to your liking.

To avoid wasting money on poorly optimized games, it makes sense to find out how many FPS you could expect in a particular game beforehand. However, for inexperienced users, it is often difficult to determine how well a game runs on their gaming PC. While there are various sources for benchmarks, this often involves quite a bit of research across various websites. Additionally, there’s the problem that the hardware used in the tests may differ significantly, making it hard to deliver a reliable result.

Steam could provide a straightforward solution here. The estimates would likely be based on the collected information from the numerous Steam users, putting an end to the search for a test with comparable hardware.

The most reliable impression of how well a game runs on your PC is still obtained by testing it yourself. Steam also has an easy solution for you, so you don’t throw money out the window. More on this here: Returning a game on Steam – It’s that easy

A new boss in Diablo 4 is taking out players left and right, even though it was supposed to be just a joke – Shows Blizzard what fans really want

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 2 minutes

As part of an April Fool’s joke, Blizzard has introduced a new boss in Diablo 4. Fans are now faced with a completely new challenge and are already mourning the event.

What kind of boss is this? On April 1, 2026, Blizzard introduced a new world boss to the game, which appears every few hours at well-known spots in Sanctuary. This is Hä’nar the Hell Rooster (English: “Chi’Khan”), who is only available for a limited time. Those who defeat the rooster can look forward to special items.

Blizzard recently released statistics on how many heroes Chi’Khan has defeated. Fans report in this context how much the chicken is giving them trouble – and how much they are celebrating exactly that.

Players lose heroes due to an April Fool’s joke

This is what players say about the boss: On Reddit, there is a discussion about how many characters Chi’Khan has already taken down. This includes over 150 hardcore players who have lost their heroes in the battle against the world boss forever.

A player reports that he had to fight the boss alone because everyone else left the fight while he briefly teleported to the city. He then defeated Chi’Khan. That was the most intense boss fight he has experienced in Diablo 4.

In the comments, many take it with humor. One user writes that dying due to an April Fool’s joke in hardcore mode at least makes for a good story. Others note that they normally have no issues with world bosses on Torment 4, but this chicken is a whole different ballgame.

In another Reddit post, many fans note that they have never seen so many player characters die as with Chi’Khan. Overall, the event and the boss seem to be well received in the community.

“We can finally have fun again”

What is Blizzard showing now? In the past, events in Diablo 4 have not always been well received. They were often too short, offered too little incentive or were simply chaotic. The current April Fool’s event scores on various counts:

  • There is a new world boss that looks funny but packs a punch.
  • Players finally feel challenged again.
  • There is exclusive loot that you can only get from Chi’Khan.
  • You can earn a special title and pick up an emblem in the shop.

The Diablo expert Rhykker calls it in his YouTube video from April 4, 2026, “perhaps the best April Fool’s event in Diablo’s history.” While the community usually complains a lot, this event is a clear win. “We can finally have fun again,” he summarizes the mood. In his video, you also get an impression of the fight against Chi’Khan, in case you missed it.

What is certain is that the second expansion is set to be released in three weeks, bringing a new class and a new area. In our overview, you can find out everything about the DLC “Lord of Hatred”.

2 years ago, 2.50 € plunged German Twitch into chaos, now the chairs are flying

MeinMMO MeinMMO Reading time 3 minutes

In spring 2024, a conflict between streamers AnniTheDuck and Mowky shook the German Twitch and sparked a wave of accusations and revelations. Nearly two years later, opinion blogger Jay Riddle questions the narrative of events at that time.

What was it with the 2.50 euros? In spring 2024, a wave of revelations hit German Twitch, during which serious accusations were made against well-known content creators AnniTheDuck and Simon Unge. The whole thing was triggered by an anonymous donation in the chat of the streamer Mowky.

We covered the topic back then for you:

The internet showed overwhelming solidarity with Mowky at the time. AnniTheDuck, who at that time was one of the biggest streamers on German Twitch, lost valuable partnerships and had to effectively end her career.

Although AnniTheDuck made several comeback attempts, she steadily lost followers during her last streams on Twitch. Since mid-December 2025, she had not gone live. On October 31, 2025, the streamer released the song “Vulture” under the name Nysa, along with a corresponding video. A series of “Behind the Scenes” videos followed on her old YouTube channel, after which it went quiet again around AnniTheDuck.

Opinion blogger questions Mowky’s version

Here’s the twist: Opinion blogger Jay Riddle announced a series of major revelation videos over the Easter weekend, which he has been working on since last year. The first video was released on April 4, 2026, on his YouTube channel and revisits the topic around AnniTheDuck and Mowky.

In the nearly 2.5-hour long video, Jay Riddle essentially discusses two points:

  • The meeting of a group of friends around Mowky and AnniTheDuck, during which Mowky is said to have lost her composure and thrown a chair at someone. The streamer had denied the “chair throw” at that time. Jay Riddle, however, questions her version of the incident. He scrutinizes the “eyewitness accounts” of those present, shows chat logs, and provides his own reports.
  • Mowky’s handling of alleged mental illnesses, particularly an alleged paranoid schizophrenia. According to Jay Riddle, there are inconsistencies in how the streamer talks about her diagnoses and required medications.

The opinion blogger also criticizes other internet personalities, including the well-known CDU destroyer Rezo as well as streamers JenNyan and Milschbaum. He also claims to have an “Excel document of horrors” and more material for at least 3 videos on the topic.

What do the involved parties say? So far, not much. As of April 7, 2026, at 2:30 PM, we could not find any public statements from Mowky. Anni The Duck had only stated in a now-expired Instagram story that she had seen the video.

JenNyan stated in a stream on April 5 that she did not want to make a statement.

However, that hasn’t stopped others from discussing the topic actively, both on X, in the comments on YouTube, or in the streaming subreddit “Laesterschwestern”. The reactions have been rather mixed so far. While many viewers and other influencers took a clear stance back then, the reactions now seem more subdued.

Rather than a clear shift in sentiment against Mowky, viewers now seem to believe that no one has come out of this situation with any glory. Jay Riddle also faces criticism for his excessive use of AI in the video.

Others, however, find it difficult to understand why the topic is being revived almost two years later.

Whether the video will create a similar stir as the 2.50 euros did back then remains to be seen. However, it can be expected that it will at least lead to some statements.

Netflix confirms the release period for One Piece season 3, also shows what it will be about

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

With a new teaser, Netflix has confirmed the release date of Season 3 of One Piece. While fans had to wait almost 3 years after Season 1, you won’t have to wait as long for Season 3 of the adventure series.

When does Season 3 of One Piece start on Netflix? As Netflix confirms on their website, Season 3 of One Piece is set to premiere in 2027, which is already next year. However, no exact timeframe was mentioned in the blog post.

The production is already taking place in Cape Town, South Africa, according to the post. As part of this, One Piece on YouTube also released a small teaser that shows the skull symbol, with the subtitle The Battle of Alabasta.

You can watch a trailer for the previous season here:

Start video

A Major Turning Point for the Straw Hat Pirates

What will Season 3 be about? As the title suggests, Season 3 on Netflix will focus on the Kingdom of Alabasta. This is the home of Vivi, who joined the crew in Season 2. The desert land is in a difficult situation. A rebellion against the king, Vivi’s father, is brewing.

However, the puppet master behind the conflict is not the king, but Sir Crocodile, played by Joe Manganiello, who was already seen briefly in Season 2.

The Straw Hat crew finds themselves in the midst of the conflict, wanting to fight for Vivi and facing the Baroque Company, Crocodile’s organization.

The arc was already a kind of turning point for the story of One Piece in the anime and manga. For the first time, Luffy and his friends interfere in world events and encounter enemies that push the limits of their abilities.

Already in Alabasta, things about the world are established that remain relevant for years to come.

  • Xolo Maridueña as Portgas D. Ace
  • Cole Escola as Bon Curry/Mr. 2
  • Daisy Head as Miss Doublefinger
  • Awdo Awdo as Mr. 1

Netflix has not yet revealed exactly when it will begin, but since filming is underway, it probably won’t be long before we know a precise release timeframe. The creators originally wanted to make 12 seasons, but there are some issues against it: The creators of One Piece on Netflix plan a saga of 12 seasons, but how realistic is that?

New MMORPG transforms your gaming room into one of the greatest animes of all time, even makes the best players sweat

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

Many players hope to dive into their own MMORPG character when they start a new title. However, immersion doesn’t always happen as well as players wish. One title aims to change that.

What kind of MMORPG is this? Asteria: Fate of the Fallen is a “next-generation VR MMORPG” that promises a social and large-scale virtual world. So far, it has never succeeded in creating a truly large VR MMORPG, but that is supposed to change now.

Lead developer Noah Bazer has a clear vision for this. He wants to create the “next-generation VR MMORPG in anime style.” Asteria is meant to take players into a “colorful, anime-like medieval fantasy world” where they must also fight in reality thanks to motion controls.

While swinging your virtual sword in real life, there should also be magic in the form of runes that enchant enemies. Besides an immersive crafting system, the main highlights are expected to be social activities.

Here you can watch the introduction video for Asteria: Fate of the Fallen:

Start video
Developers of Asteria: Fate of the Fallen present their MMORPG in the video

A Second Life

What social features are planned? Fighting in VR MMORPGs can be tiring over time, so Asteria also wants to offer other activities for players to enjoy. There will be the possibility to open your own shop to sell goods there.

Players will also be able to engage in sports together, possibly in the form of mini-games. Those who enjoy playing Sims can look forward to a housing system where players can design their own four walls.

The goal for Asteria is not power fantasy or the chosen one story, but rather the community task of rebuilding the players’ city and defending it against evil forces.

How far along is the MMORPG? The development of the MMORPG is not yet complete. Currently, a Kickstarter campaign is running, which has raised about 60,000 €. However, developer Noah Bazer emphasizes that “come what may, it will be released.”

However, the donation campaign is intended to accelerate the speed of the release, as the money can be used to hire more developers. Players can also unlock new features for the MMORPG as part of the campaign.

The campaign includes goals like guild halls, PvP duels, musical instruments, pets, and much more. The campaign runs until May 3, 2026, even though the base goal of 43,000 € was reached in less than 24 hours.

Lucky guy pays 22 euros for an old figure because it looked cool – Warhammer 40,000 community enviously reveals: This is a valuable treasure

Nico Scheibel Nico Scheibel Reading time 2 minutes

The tabletop hobby around Warhammer 40,000 is not exactly cheap. Old and rare miniatures can quickly reach high prices. Now, a lucky person has bought a figure that is really valuable and makes the community envious.

Which figure is it? The Reddit user sillygoose-1714 shared a post in the Warhammer subreddit. There, he shows pictures of a large, painted figure. He found it in a toy box in a second-hand store and paid less than 22 euros.

As a newcomer to Warhammer, he took the figure home because it simply looked cool. However, he was not aware of what kind of treasure he had found.

Link to the Reddit content

Why is the figure so special? Another Reddit user provides the lucky person with some answers about the model. It is the “Imperial Reaver Titan.” These were created by the company Armorcast, which was supposed to make some models for the larger scale of 28 mm instead of the small scale of 6 mm.

In the late 90s, there were two systems of Warhammer. The regular system refers to the game with a scale of 28 mm and is still widely used today. The so-called Epic system is played with a scale of 6 mm and was meant to depict huge battles.

According to the Reddit user, the Reaver Titan was sold between 1995 and 1998, which brings the age of the miniature to about 30 years. He also mentions that it is not a figure directly from Games Workshop, which means there is little information available. However, these models are very rare and popular among collectors.

The figure costs several times 22 euros

How much does the Reaver Titan cost? Of course, there was also speculation about the price in the subreddit. Some users write it could be several hundred dollars. One user estimates it to be $800 or more and links to an eBay item that sold in January 2026.

This was a similar Reaver Titan from Armorcast that sold for $1,053. This would be approximately 911 euros.

What does the community say about the figure? A Reddit user believes that this model belongs in a museum. Over 200 other Warhammer fans agreed with him (as of April 7, 2026, at 1:50 PM). Other comments also refer to the treasure the user found, saying that it is their dream model.

Of course, envy is not far away with such a find, and some users congratulate the lucky person, even though they would like to hold this model in their hands themselves.

A tool transforms Cyberpunk 2077 into a recording of your parents’ video tapes, awakening players’ “nostalgia for a past that never existed”

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 3 minutes

Night City from Cyberpunk 2077 becomes a true time capsule through the work of a fan: The city can be viewed as if through a VHS recording, which not only evokes nostalgia among players but also makes the images appear real.

What kind of tool is this? The modder and Reddit user Tulired presented a clip in the Subreddit for Cyberpunk 2077 that depicts a well-known city in a completely different way. Night City looks like someone walked through the city a long time ago and recorded a vacation video with an old camcorder.

It is the same city, familiar streets, already encountered faces. However, the image quality, small disturbances, distortions, and scan lines create a feeling that you are not looking at a video game but at an old, real videotape.

Here you can see in the clip how Night City appears through the VHS optics:

It is the free ReShade mod “TapePunk” by Tulired (known as Tuliz on Nexusmods). This mod uses revised shaders to make the futuristic city of Night City, set 50 years in the future, be viewed through a lens reminiscent of the 80s.

“The goal was to break free from the clean, high-resolution look of modern games and instead celebrate the old analog imagery,” Tuliz writes in the description of his mod on Nexusmods, “a world where the future meets aging hardware.”

Mod provides hyper-realistic footage despite outdated look

What does the community praise about the mod? The clip featuring the mod has garnered great enthusiasm from the community on Reddit. They praise not only the idea itself but also the feeling it evokes. It is not just an exciting tool with a cool look, but a simulated time travel:

“My brain completely forgets that this is a game and not real footage,” writes cravex12. Also, teddehyrria adds: “This somehow makes the game look even more realistic.”

ADreamOfCrimson presents the following theory for the effect’s impact: Since the brain expects lower image quality from VHS recordings, it blurs out the video game character of the graphics and tricks the mind into filling in the remaining gaps, which makes it feel more realistic than photorealistic graphics.

What does the modder say about this feedback? The modder explains in his description on Nexusmods that he wants to capture exactly this feeling of nostalgia with his project: “That’s exactly what this project is at the moment: not a 100% perfect technical reproduction, but an idealized version – just like our memories.”

This mix of realism and nostalgia reminds many fans of another project that could provide the modder further inspiration for even more applications of his mod: the Backroom videos, including those by YouTuber Kane Pixels.

This creator also used the found-footage look in his recordings, making his environments in Blender appear as realistic as TapePunk does for Cyberpunk 2077. The modder has not only been made aware of this but also sees it as his next potential project:

“I thought about starting a YouTube channel where I assume the role of a tourist,” he explains on Reddit, “‘Vacation in Night City,’ ‘Night City Tapes,’ or something similar. Name suggestions are explicitly welcome!”

He explains that if there’s a mod that can remove all NPCs, he could record VHS footage in a deserted Night City to recreate the feeling of the so-called “Liminal Spaces” of the Backrooms. Based on the reactions on Reddit, this would be a well-received project that would generate great enthusiasm.

“I shouldn’t have opened my mouth” – Twitch streamer dared to criticize her colleagues, now says what consequences it has for her

A man repeatedly posts videos in which he apparently believes he is in a relationship with the Twitch streamer. The videos include declarations of love, but also anger towards HoneyPuu.

However, the situation has not been taken seriously by fellow streamers or the community.

The streamer criticized the behavior of her colleagues, both privately and publicly, according to her own statement.

Now I am being excluded everywhere

What are the consequences for HoneyPuu? In a stream over the Easter weekend, HoneyPuu reported that she is being excluded from the German Twitch scene after her public criticism. Streamers Rohat and Knossi, both involved in the meme games, have unfollowed her.

Furthermore, she will likely not be invited to events and projects of her streamer colleagues in the future, such as Minecraft projects like CraftAttack or Fitnacraft.

I shouldn’t have opened my mouth. Now I am being excluded everywhere. […] Consequences will happen or have already happened. I will not be able to participate in any event anymore. […] I have already been partially uninvited from events.

– Streamer HoneyPuu on Twitch (from minute 01:43:26)

HoneyPuu further explains that she wrote to Rohat, the organizer of such a meme round, about this situation a while ago. In the context of a round of Make It Meme, memes about HoneyPuu and her stalking situation were created.

She criticized that the round was not canceled once memes about her were created. A discussion arose between the two, in which they did not come to a common understanding.

Why is this such a problem? Events have become a huge thing on Twitch. They thrive on entertaining interactions between content creators and can help smaller streamers get noticed by a larger audience.

When a larger event takes place, it usually gives participants a significant boost. Furthermore, an invitation shows that one “belongs.” Being excluded from such events can, on the other hand, mean less reach and thus also less income for non-participating streamers.

The fact that her criticism apparently has negative effects on HoneyPuu’s career could also discourage other affected individuals from going public with their experiences.

Content: What will there be to see?

The anime adaptation of Witch Hat Atelier is based on the manga. Therefore, we can already guess what the series will be about:

  • The protagonist Coco wants to become a witch. However, only those born with magical talent can become witches. Coco does not qualify.
  • One day she meets the wizard Qifrey, who takes her as a student. He teaches her that spells can also be cast using runes and magical ink.
  • The dark witch circle is interested in Coco. Their goal is to revive the free use of magic. It was banned because several atrocities were committed with it in the past.

Coco must therefore deal with the dark plot and her newly acquired magical knowledge at the same time. The manga of Witch Hat Atelier is still ongoing, which is why the story is not yet complete.

Faker thought his LoL career was over 8 years ago, reveals the secret of his success

Nico Scheibel Nico Scheibel Reading time 2 minutes

Faker is arguably the best player in League of Legends. Together with his team, he has won the World Championship 6 times since 2013. However, 8 years ago, he thought his career was over at that time.

Why did Faker think that 8 years ago? The magazine Fortune Korea published an interview with the LoL legend Faker, in which he talked about his career. The interview was translated by a Reddit user. A major theme there was the duration of careers in esports.

For Faker, this was also a major topic 8 years ago. During that time, he caught himself thinking about whether this was the moment he would be outplayed by other players. Faker went on to say the following:

Back then, the perception was very strong that careers in esports are particularly short, and I felt like I couldn’t escape this trend. Nevertheless, a part of me wondered: Is it really right to be pushed aside helplessly just because of my age? Can’t I prove that this doesn’t have to be the case? Can’t I just keep going longer and continue to prove myself? From that moment on, I trained even harder.

How long had Faker been playing at that time? Faker started his career in 2013 and had already won the World Championship 3 times by 2018, the year when Faker doubted himself. According to Fortune Korea, the average duration of an esports career is almost 5 years.

Faker reveals his secret

What is Faker’s tip for a longer career? In the same interview, a hobby of Faker outside of LoL is addressed: reading. He was specifically asked what the reason was for starting to read so many books.

The answer was directly related to the duration of his career: he was curious about how he could prolong his career and improve his own performance. Particularly scientific books about neuroscience or the human body were very interesting to Faker.

The professional further said that the knowledge from the books helped him calm his nerves, regain focus, and approach situations more calmly.

What are Faker’s favorite books? The X user Ashley Kang created a website where she listed all the books that Faker mentioned in a stream from 2023. Additionally, there is a complexity rating and a small comment from Faker about the books.

You can find the list on the page created by Ashley Kang fan-leaf-9ae.notion.site. Besides some fictional books, the list is filled with scientific books.

Particularly the book “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” is, according to Faker’s comment, a must-read, meaning a book that everyone should read. It discusses the development of humanity, but this list also includes works that deal with various topics of human psychology.

Tech YouTuber wants to know how much distance the gaming PC should really have from the wall, gets help from NASA

jan hartmayer jan hartmayer Reading time 2 minutes

The well-known DIYer Linus Tech Tips often experiments with hardware to test their optimal performance. Now he is taking it a step further. His team is getting support from NASA in their latest project.

What was tested? Linus Tech Tips explains in his YouTube video from 04.06.2025, how much distance a fan actually needs to cool your PC efficiently. With the help of NASA, it was investigated how different distances of objects affect the airflow of a fan.

In total, the team is said to have conducted three different experiments in the video to determine the optimal space for a fan. According to Linus’s information, testing was done with a simple Noctua 120mm model. 

  • Firstly, it is said that testing was conducted using “tufts,” a small cord-like electronics device that allows airflow measurements. 
  • Next, NASA is said to have tested the speed of the blown air using an optical measurement method called “PIV.”
  • Finally, with NASA’s support, the sound level of the PC fan under different distances is said to have been recorded in a special acoustic chamber. 

Thus, the team was able to make some statements about the required space of a fan.

If you don’t want to think about hardware at all, keep an eye on the upcoming Steam Machine. The console-PC promises a simple PC gaming experience for the TV, according to Valve.

Start video
Valve presents the Steam Machine in the new trailer

Keep enough distance from the wall! 

What did Linus find out? According to Linus’s own statement, the results are not directly comparable for every situation, however, a fan should have at least 15 – 20 mm of space to operate efficiently. 

Below this value, the airflow is said to be severely impaired, and the cooling performance of your gaming rig can decrease significantly. 

It is said to be even worse if you place your PC on a carpet or against a wall. This leads to decreased cooling performance since your fans have little opportunity to efficiently blow out air, and may even partially suck in hot air instead.

However, not only the cooling performance is said to suffer, but the less distance a fan has to another object like a wall, the louder its operating noise is said to become. 

Additionally, lack of cooling performance can affect your computer’s performance. One user even goes the extra mile for cooling his computer by using a personal air conditioning unit for his PC.  

Why is airflow so important for a computer? Many gamers want to get the maximum performance from their components. Therefore, efficient cooling through sufficient airflow is essential. This ensures that heat is blown out of your computer, and your hardware is cooled with fresh air.

Otherwise, components like your graphics card and processor can become too warm due to insufficient airflow and may lose performance depending on the temperature. This can cause your FPS to drop during a prolonged gaming session (via YouTube).

This is because PC components are designed to reduce their performance at high temperatures to prevent damage. This function is called “thermal throttling” (via Corsair).

von jan hartmayer

Therefore, we advise you: Make sure that your PC has enough distance from the wall and that your fans are not completely covered by other objects such as a glass pane. Otherwise, you should expect performance losses while gaming. Also, remember to apply thermal paste in the right place, otherwise, you might find yourself in a situation like another user: Clueless user thinks he doesn’t need a CPU cooler – puts thermal paste between the CPU and the motherboard instead.

A player has already achieved 100% in Crimson Desert on the PS5, must have played almost every waking hour for it

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

A player has completed Crimson Desert and explains what really challenged him and what to look out for if you try to do the same.

How long did it take him? Player TioZer0 spoke up on Reddit and shared a screenshot confirming that he completed Crimson Desert on the PS5, which means he earned the platinum trophy.

But the journey wasn’t easy. The player invested a total of 305 hours into the open-world adventure over the last 2.5 weeks since its release on March 19, 2026. That averages about 17 hours of Crimson Desert per day, assuming the player did not gain early access to a press version.

However, it wasn’t the puzzles that inflated his gameplay time.

You can get through the game faster with Rokade:

Start video
Here you will find the legendary horse “Rokade” in Crimson Desert

Insects and Fish as Bosses

What took a lot of time? Although Crimson Desert presents players with some challenging enemies and puzzles, something else was the ultimate challenge. To complete the game 100%, the collection had to be completed.

Here not only all large animals are recorded, but also the smallest residents of Pywel, such as insects and fish. Accordingly, the player had to catch every insect and fish for his 100% completion.

This was a significant challenge, as the player revealed on Reddit, costing him reportedly 60 gameplay hours. So those who skip this step can complete Crimson Desert in about 245 hours without collection.

What tips does the player share? One thing the player learned concerns the challenges you find in cube form by the roadside in Crimson Desert. Some of them have a specific mission that makes them easy to complete. If you miss this mission, it becomes significantly harder to complete the challenge.

He gives the example of the challenge to defeat 5 enemies with a single cannon shot. There is a mission where this is very easy to accomplish. However, outside of the mission, there are few cannons, and they don’t randomly have 5 enemies clustered together waiting for the cannonball.

Although the player emphasizes that the challenges are not impossible afterward, it becomes much more difficult to complete them if you miss the right timing.

User finds a rare AMD graphics card for 15 euros in the thrift store, connects it at home and it actually works

Claudio Niggenkemper Claudio Niggenkemper Reading time 2 minutes

A Reddit user just wanted to make a small bargain – and suddenly finds himself with real high-end hardware. For just around 15 euros, his find turns out to be a rare top graphics card.

What exactly did the user find? The Reddit user Open_Advice_1411 reported an unusual find in a second-hand store. Among old electronics, he discovered a graphics card for only 15.49 US dollars (about 15 euros).

The user quickly realized that it could be something special. Nevertheless, he took the card with him without much expectation to test it. (VideoCardz).

Via Reddit

The card is a Radeon RX 6950 XT OC Formula, a particularly rare and powerful model from 2022.

Expensive Special Edition

Why is the graphics card so special? The RX 6950 XT OC Formula is one of the strongest variants of its generation and was specifically designed for enthusiasts. It not only offers very high clock rates out of the box, but also a complex cooling design aimed at maximum performance (ASRock).

The initial price ranged between 1100 and 1400 US dollars, as noted in the corresponding test by TechPowerUp. In Germany, the price remained between 960 and 1300 euros a year after release (heise).

Additionally: This special version from the Taiwanese manufacturer ASRock is significantly rarer than standard models. The exact production numbers of this variant are unclear. It is likely that production was severely limited due to the special specifications. This makes it interesting and high-priced for collectors and hardware fans even today.

OC Formula was ASRock’s top designation for overclocked graphics cards from the Radeon RX 6000 series – for example, the Radeon RX 6900 XT OC Formula. In newer flagship models of the Radeon series, ASRock reverted to the more well-known Taichi branding (VideoCardz & ASRock).

Players throw their friend a birthday party in ARC Raiders, turning the worst place into a PvE lobby

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

A group of friends celebrated a birthday together in ARC Raiders with everything that belongs to it and what the game has to offer. However, as it is with an online multiplayer, they did not stay alone for long and were soon discovered by foreign raiders.

How did the player’s birthday go? The birthday child and Reddit user MacmanYTB shared a clip with the ARC Raiders community that he recorded during his in-game celebration. Along with his trio, they played appropriate music, set off fireworks, played instruments, and danced. 

Here you can see a clip of the raider’s birthday party:

However, they were not the only ones in the lobby, as it happened to be Stella Montis. It didn’t take long for other raiders to notice the music and the fireworks. And for the occasion of another raider’s new year of life, they left the PvP-laden reputation of the map behind and celebrated with them.

ARC Raiders brings new Flashpoint update – there are rumors brewing in Speranza

Stella Montis turns into a joint party instead of a battlefield

Why is Stella Montis one of the least suitable places for a friendly birthday party? Stella Montis is one of the 5 open maps in ARC Raiders, which is rated significantly riskier compared to the others. It is much tighter and more enclosed, making it an excellent place for PvP-seeking players.

Although the player’s birthday party was in the relatively open lobby of Stella Montis, which they at least secured one-sidedly with a barricade, they could have (especially as a trio) encountered much more hostile players.

That the group of peaceful raiders was visited and even celebrated without shooting anyone is therefore not a given.

What could have further increased the risk for the group? Also, the fact that the group of friends was in Stella Montis as a trio could have backfired for the celebrators. For solo players, even Stella Montis could become a more relaxed place in ideal cases, where one can complete tasks and look for certain resources. However, a trio means for many players in the lobby: shoot without hesitation.

How different the experience in ARC Raiders can be for solos, duos, and trios is confirmed by many players: As a lone wolf, one plays more of a relaxed wandering simulator, while as a trio, one lands in World War III.

It’s all the more pleasant to see that the birthday group’s calmness is met with the same attitude in Stella Montis.

Mimikyu in Pokémon GO would be brutally strong but is not allowed to fight: What does Niantic say about it?

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Mimikyu had a much-anticipated release in Pokémon GO. However, the Pokémon is not allowed to battle – it would be really strong.

Where is Mimikyu banned? Currently, Mimikyu is banned from any kind of battle in Pokémon GO. Initially, it could still be used against Team GO Rocket, but even there Mimikyu is no longer allowed to participate.

What does Niantic say about this? In the announcement for the release event around Mimikyu, a paragraph was added addressing the issue. It states:

At first, you cannot use Mimikyu in battle. But beware, as this could change in the future – and Mimikyu could unexpectedly turn your strategy upside down! Stay tuned, as more information about battling with Mimikyu will follow soon.

Team Pokémon GO on pokemongo.com

So we can only hope that you can indeed use your Mimikyu in battles. As soon as that is the case, we will keep you updated here!

How strong would Mimikyu be in Pokémon GO?

This is how strong Mimikyu would be in battle: As it currently stands, Mimikyu would be an extremely strong Pokémon for the Great and Ultra Leagues. In an analysis, the PvP expert JRE47 concludes in the Pokémon GO subreddit that Mimikyu not only offers a strong type combination but would be an outstanding Pokémon due to its special ability. JRE47 even mentions an 80% win rate in the Great League. But currently, that’s just not possible.

Only in the Master League would Mimikyu likely be lost. It just can’t gather enough CP.

21 years after Order 66, Star Wars shows another Jedi who has survived – He is a completely new alien species

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

New aliens in Star Wars are always a highlight. A recent series revolving around Darth Maul has now introduced a Jedi whose species has never been seen before.

Attention Spoiler: In this article, we reveal basic information about new characters from the series Maul – Shadow Lord and a new species. If you don’t want to know anything about it, you better skip this article.

What series is it about? Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord is a new animated series airing on Disney+. So far, two episodes have been released, with eight more to follow. Two episodes are released weekly.

The series is set one year after Palpatine betrayed the Republic in Episode 3 and seized power.

Maul – Shadow Lord naturally introduces several new characters, including two survivors of Order 66. This purge by the Emperor nearly led to the complete eradication of the Jedi Order at the end of Episode 3. Only about 200 of them managed to escape, one thanks to a clever plan.

Of the two previously unknown survivors, a Jedi named Eeko-Dio Daki is particularly intriguing. His species has never been seen in Star Wars before.

Start video

A principle-driven Jedi

Who are the two Jedi? On one hand, the series features the Twi’lek Devon Izara, whose species is already known from many other characters like Aayla Secura. More interesting is the Jedi Eeko-Dio Daki, who initially resembles a dinosaur.

He is rather small at 150 centimeters, his skin and eyes are green, and he belongs to the species of Mosyk. This type makes its premiere in Maul – Shadow Lord. So far, it has not appeared in any other Star Wars story but is now entering the canon.

In the official making-of of the series on starwars.com, it is mentioned that Eeko-Dio Daki was even referred to as “Dino-Jedi” at first before he received his real name.

He and Devon Izara escaped before Order 66 and sought refuge on the planet Janix from the Emperor’s henchmen. The two characters differ in their views on how things should proceed from there.

While Devon Izara wants to fight for her survival and is willing to steal, the Dino-Jedi insists on sticking to his principles. He maintains that help will come if one just shows enough trust.

What does the new species mean for Star Wars? In the galaxy, there are countless alien species, and the Mosyk are a welcome addition. It will be exciting to see if the dinosaur-like beings will play a prominent role in other films and series in the future.

Similar things have happened in the past. For instance, the species of Devon Izara, the Twi’lek, was also a newcomer in Episode 6, appearing as a supporting character. Bib Fortuna was the first of his kind to be seen in Star Wars. Nowadays, there are numerous representatives of the species, and it is widely known.

Whether the same will happen with the Mosyk remains to be seen. What do you think of the new species? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Often, it is rather unknown characters who survived Palpatine’s terrible betrayal: A Jedi can be seen in Episode 1 of Star Wars only in one scene, yet he managed to survive Order 66
