Bruce Willis is an actor who became an action star in the 1980s through the movieDie Hard. However, he has not only starred in action films. MeinMMO shows you his 7 best films in the ranking.
How was this list created? The following list is a ranking of his 7 best films. The only relevant factor was that Bruce Willis must have a lead or significant supporting role in the film. Small cameos do not count.
This list is based on the opinion of MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes. If you would like a different movie on this list, feel free to let us know in the comments.
At this point, one must also mention Manfred Lehmann. In most films with Bruce Willis, he voices the star in the German version, and he does it fantastically. In the early films, he perfectly conveys the charm, but also the sadness and anger into German.

Looper – Trailer for the Time Travel Action Movie with Bruce Willis
What kind of film is this? Loopers are employees of dubious gangster organizations who travel back in time to get rid of unpleasant people before crime technology is modern enough to analyze such things. But the evidence about the loopers themselves must one day disappear.
What makes Looper so good? Time travel stories are usually a complex topic that can often go wrong. Looper takes such a story and constructs a fun action film that deals with the question: What happens when I meet my old self?

Emily “Emiru” Schunk (26) is nominated in 2 categories at the Streamer Awards, an event for content creators on Twitch. However, she is not thrilled about the nomination and even wants to boycott the event.
What kind of streamer is she? Emily “Emiru” Schunk started her career with League of Legends and cosplays. She is now a variety streamer who belongs to OTK, the gaming organization of Asmongold: The 26-year-old often makes her male colleagues look quite old with her cool demeanor there, especially Mizkif (via youtube).
On Twitch, Emiru has already been one of the biggest female streamers, a status solidified by the departure of former big names like Pokimane and Amouranth. The analytics site Streams Charts ranks her as the female streamer with the most viewers on average for the last 30 days.
This success likely contributed to her receiving 2 nominations at the Streamer Awards, a major event organized by Twitch streamer QTCinderella. Emiru is nominated in the categories “Streamer of the Year” and “Just Chatting,” but she can’t find any joy in it.
In Germany, these female streamers would likely have been nominated:

Streamer hints that more lies behind the nomination
What’s the problem? In a stream, Emiru complains that she was not nominated in the “Sapphire” category for women and marginalized genders. Instead, she has been included as a “quota woman” in two other major categories.
She believes: In the category where she could win, she was not nominated. Instead, she competes as a quota woman against men in 2 other categories, only to lose there.
The Twitch streamer finds it “a bit strange.” She hints that there might be a reason for this decision, before announcing that she does not wish to attend the event. She appears visibly upset. You can check out the situation here:

What could be behind this? Allegations arise at the Streamer Awards that it is an event for QTCinderella and her circle of friends. Streamers outside this “bubble” are said to be disadvantaged. This is a similar discussion to one that was held here regarding the German equivalent of the Twitch streamer Reved.
It seems that Emiru’s nomination in these categories was a strategic calculation to ensure that she does not win any award.
The record streamer Kai Cenat is considered the clear favorite for the title “Streamer of the Year.” He has won at the last two ceremonies. Emiru likely has little chance here. She and some viewers seem to believe that she was only nominated to have a woman in the selection.
In the “Just Chatting” category, Emiru also competes against Twitch world champion Kai Cenat and her OTK colleague Nmpol. One user even suggests that the two OTK streamers were purposely placed in the same category so that their fans would split between them, and neither would win (via X).
On Reddit, users mention that Emiru has already received heavy criticism on X for her nomination. Should she actually win against the male streamers, she might have to fear even more backlash, claiming that she only won because she is a woman.
A visit to a used electronics store led to the revival of a legendary console on a highly unusual screen.
What did the retro fan put together? Reddit user Joshisnot12 visited a local used electronics store. There, he discovered, as he posted on Reddit, a portable DVD player with an integrated screen. By itself, this is nothing particularly unusual, but what piqued his curiosity were the connections. Because they not only allowed the player’s video signal to be transmitted to an external display but also input one as well. That gave him an idea.
Fortunately, he found the necessary cables for his spontaneously conceived project just a few shelves away. At home, a legendary gaming console from Japan came back to life on the special screen.
Speaking of DIY: Students created something dystopian from a META glasses, a PC, and an AI: a spy glasses. We present to you the project, which aims to highlight the dangers of technology, in article form. You can watch the accompanying video directly:

Which console did he connect? Joshisnot12 connected the portable DVD player to a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). And it actually worked. He can now play classics like the Mega Man 2 shown above or other games like the oldest parts of the Mario series on it. The display appearing bluish in the picture is, by the way, actually black according to him.
Can I recreate this? Theoretically yes, you only need an NES console, which can be found for under 100 euros on platforms like Ebay. Portable DVD players can sometimes be found on the same site for less than 20 euros. However, you need to ensure that the screen has the correct input or you have a corresponding adapter to use the old outputs of the NES.
Here’s what the Reddit creator’s setup looks like. Image source: Reddit, joshisnot12
On Reddit, the project is getting plenty of love. While only a few are interested in such a niche project, for them it is the epitome of exemplary retro:
In League of Legends, the team T1 with Faker has won the World Championship in the last two years. Their South Korean rival Gen G. does not like this at all. For 2025, Gen G. has supposedly managed to keep the core of the team, with exception players like Chovy and Canyon. But for 2025, they will still be upgrading: According to reports, Ruler is returning. He is supposed to replace the super talent Peyz (18) after the young South Korean underperformed at Worlds 2024.
This is the rivalry between Gen G. and T1: The Gen G. team managed to stop T1 and Faker in the final of Worlds in 2017, back when they were still called Samsung Galaxy, and spoil their 4th World Championship. Faker cried back then – the images went around the world.
This final defeat is still considered the biggest setback in Faker’s legend. For years, T1 has not been able to celebrate major successes.
Also in recent years, Gen G. dominated the Korean league LCK after acquiring exceptional players like Chovy and Canyon. Gen G. has become champions 4 times in the last 6 seasons, defeating T1 on 4 occasions.
But internationally, Gen G. has disappointed so far and has not been able to make an impact. In 2024, they lost 0-3 in the semifinals of Worlds against T1. Although the team is considered high-talented, they apparently could not withstand the pressure on the international stage.

Gen G. reportedly keeps Chovy for 2025 – Builds new Botlane
This is how Gen G. is supposed to play in 2025: All player contracts at Gen G. expired on November 18, and the team currently has no one in the roster.
According to a report from a South Korean site (via sportsseoul), Gen G. has managed to extend the contracts of 3 players. Sportsseoul reported this on November 18:
Jungler Canyon came from DAMWON Gaming and was a brilliant partner to Showmaker.
Top laner Kiin also allegedly stays in the club.
Additionally, they reportedly want to recruit ADC Ruler, one of Faker’s biggest rivals.
The open position would then be the support player, provided the current support Lehends leaves the club. Allegedly, they want to count on the South Korean Duro, a 22-year-old who has yet to make a big name for himself in LoL.
This “2017 Worlds Finals – Ruler” line haunted Faker for years:
Who would leave? If this is true, the 18-year-old Peyz would leave Gen G. He was considered one of the biggest talents in LoL overall. But apparently, Gen G. has decided not to rely on youth, but on experience. Ruler is 25 and an experienced player. He last played for 2 years for JDG in China.
In addition, Gen G. would part ways with Lehends.
Support as Gen G.’s Achilles’ heel?
How is this being discussed? On reddit, players are actually more concerned about the popular supporter Lehends leaving than about Ruler returning. With all the stars, Gen G. is probably too expensive to afford a strong support player like Lehends.
Here, there are fears that Duro could prove to be a weak point in the team.
But fans also say soberly: Gen G.’s bot lane of Peyz and Lehends disappointed at Worlds. And at this level, South Korea is ruthless and does not grant a second chance.
Currently, none of the signings have been confirmed, but transfer rumors in LoL from these sources have often proven true, leading to discussions of these rumors as if they were facts.
Elden Ring was one of the biggest hits of recent years, and the DLC Shadow of The Erdtree also thrilled many players again. According to a recent report, gaming giant Sony wants to buy the company behind FromSoftware and Elden Ring.
What is it about? As reported by the website Reuters, Sony is currently in talks with the company Kadokawa Corporation. According to the report, it seems that Sony wants to buy the Japanese company. Kadokawa is a large Japanese company that holds many shares in other firms.
Among them is also FromSoftware. The Kadokawa Corporation holds 69.66% of FromSoftware. Sixjoy Hong Kong owns 16.25%, and the remaining 14.09% belongs to Sony. According to Reuters, Sony declined to comment on the reports. Kadokawa said they cannot comment.
The potential purchase has already had a significant impact on Kadokawa, as their stock has risen to an all-time high.

How has Kadokawa’s stock changed? On the website companiesmarketcap.com, you can see that reports of a possible purchase have already had a large impact on the market value of the Japanese company.
The stock rose by 22.99% from one day to the next to a value of 3.25 billion US dollars, which is just over 3 billion euros.
The company not only holds shares in FromSoftware but also in countless other firms. Besides video games, the company is also active in books, movies, and anime.
The potential purchase of the giant could therefore be expensive for Sony. However, it would also secure major shares of FromSoftware, with which they could also have exclusive games. With Bloodborne, an exclusive PlayStation game from FromSoftware was released in 2015, which many fans still wish for on other platforms today.
Players on Steam have noticed that their wishlist has suddenly changed. This is due to a new law that has come into effect.
What is happening with the wishlists? Several users have noticed: Games on their Steam wishlist are disappearing or being partially hidden. On Reddit, those who have noticed this have spoken up. Among them are two German posts – and this is no coincidence.
Because the current phenomenon of games disappearing from Steam is related to a German law that has been in effect since November 15, 2024.
Supermarket Together: The Trailer for the Simulation on Steam
Age rating is mandatory
What does the law state? In spring 2024, it was announced on Steam, and now the regulation has come into effect: All games offered on the platform must have an age rating starting from November 15, 2024.
A game receives this either through a USK assessment or through Steam’s integrated rating system itself. In the latter case, developers must answer a detailed questionnaire. This can identify sensitive content. According to Steam, community feedback also plays a role in the rating.
The regulation applies not only to new games but also to old ones. However, developers can also retroactively request ratings – and must do so if they want to remain in the German store.
This explains the disappearance of some titles that have not yet undergone any assessment.
According to Steam, around 23,000 games are still unassessed. Some of them were probably on the wishlists of the Reddit users and have disappeared for this reason.
What do the players say about this? On Reddit, users are informing about the new law. However, some also make jokes: “Welcome to Germany,” summarizes killmissy the situation.
Valve has early on, as early as March 2024, drawn attention to the upcoming law. The company is urging developers to contact them via the questionnaire and to obtain the rating. Therefore, it is possible that some of the disappeared games will reappear on Steam. A user recently made an interesting discovery: After 18 years, a gamer discovered that Steam still saves his save files from Half Life 2

The influencer HandOfBlood runs a leading team in the German League of Legends with Eintracht Spandau. In spring 2024, they even became European champions in LoL. However, now, on November 18th, they have announced the signing of two Twitch streamers: supposedly Trymacs and Chefstrobel will play for Eintracht in 2025. Some fans are outraged on Twitter: This is unfair competition.
This is the news: On November 18th, Eintracht Spandau announced that they have signed Twitch streamers Trymacs and Chefstrobel as part of the new squad for 2025 (via X).
Apparently, the two are supposed to play together with the Twitch streamers and former professionals PowerOfEvil (Midlane) and Broeki (ADC).
According to Chefstrobel, he will either play in the top lane or as a support in the main squad. Trymacs will be a substitute player (via Twitch):

Fans criticize unfair competition
What is the reaction? Some fans who take this seriously are angry with Eintracht Spandau for the news. There are furious comments:
“What a downfall, man. Who is doing your PR? How can you recruit a sexist son of a b***h like Strobel into the team.”
“If this is true, you should be reported for unfair competition.”
“Please say this is a joke”
HandOfBlood comments in his role as “President Knabe”, that the signing cost them “half a fortune”. They believe that this signing can make a difference in their sporting operations.
President Knabe criticizes professionals as “low-reach losers”
Is this a joke? Yes, it appears to be a satirical PR stunt by HandOfBlood and Eintracht Spandau. This is also evident from the fact that HandOfBlood does not comment as “HandOfBlood”, but as “President Knabe”, his quirky parody of Uli Hoeneß. Whenever Knabe takes on this role, everything he says is meant to be satirical and exaggerated.
Almost simultaneously with the signing, it was announced that Eintracht Spandau has brought in top-laner Pride as a new “serious player”; Lilipp is expected to return in the support position. This was reported by sheepesports), and they are usually right on such “transfer rumors”.
Together with PowerOfEvil in the mid-lane and Broeki in the ADC position, Eintracht Spandau would then have 4 players with professional experience in 2025, whereas likely Broekmann would be a weak link, but not as significant a weak link as Trymacs or Chefstrobel.
President Knabe dismisses the report from the e-sports site as “a false lead” that they have laid for the sleazy journalists. The two professionals are “low-reach losers”.
“Why is that Bronze Olaf 10:1?!”
This is what it’s all about: Trymacs and Chefstrobel are both well-known Twitch streamers who play LoL as a hobby. The two create entertaining content from their LoL games. Most of the time, they insult each other and belittle one another.
Trymacs even made it to the ZDF Magazin Royale with a loud rant about a “Bronze Olaf”:

Eintracht Spandau wants to focus more on entertainment in 2025, but not like this
The alleged signing of the two has a serious background: Eintracht Spandau has indeed announced that they want to tone down their sporting ambitions for 2025 and focus on players who want to create content. Because winning the European championship practically brought them nothing. They only earn money from content, not from sporting success.
By “players who value content creation more,” they apparently meant former strong LoL professionals like PowerOfEvil, who are at the end of their careers and switching to Twitch.
He will probably be the cornerstone of Eintracht Spandau: Midlaner PowerOfEvil.
Players like Trymacs, who only play LoL as a hobby, would indeed be unfair competition in the Prime League. The whole “signing” can probably be seen as a PR stunt. Perhaps Trymacs and Chefstrobel will become content creators for Eintracht Spandau – they probably won’t be on the roster: In LoL, HandOfBlood’s team is now replacing a key player with a Twitch streamer (33)

The nominations for this year’s Game Awards 2024 are causing discussions among gamers. For the first time, a DLC could become Game of the Year. This means that Elden Ring could receive the prestigious title almost 3 years after its release. Not everyone is happy about this.
What is the situation? On November 18, 2024, the nominations for the “Game Awards” were announced. This is one of the most important awards in the gaming industry, basically the Oscars of gaming.
Just before the nominations were announced, the Game Awards confirmed that this year, for the first time, DLCs could also receive the coveted title of “Game of the Year.” Now, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, a remake and a DLC, are nominated. In particular, the latter is causing discussions. Elden Ring already won the award in 2022 at the release of the main game.
The DLC for Elden Ring was almost as extensive as a full game – but is that enough for a nomination as Game of the Year?

Players say: As if “The Godfather” won an Oscar in 2001
Here’s the discussion: Gamers are divided on whether Elden Ring with its DLC deserves the title of “Game of the Year.” There is a thread on Reddit with over 1,000 comments discussing the rule change.
In particular, the fact that Shadow of the Erdtree is the only DLC receiving this special treatment so far has led to frustration. It feels as if this rule was introduced just to nominate Elden Ring again.
Others argue that DLCs have always been able to be nominated for important categories like “Best RPG.” The rules haven’t changed; rather, it has been confirmed that they also apply to Game of the Year.
Many users believe that a separate category for expansions would have been a better solution. This way, the achievements of developers behind DLCs could be acknowledged, without overshadowing entirely new games.
One user writes, “[It’s], as if you nominate the DVD release of ‘The Godfather’ as Best Film in 2001.” The Godfather originally hit American theaters in 1972 (via Reddit).
In another thread, a user explains why he is against the nomination of DLCs for Game of the Year: “[…] Even if it’s big enough to be considered a standalone game. If I need a base game to play it, it shouldn’t be considered a standalone game.” (via Reddit)
However, another user states: If your own game loses to a DLC, then you probably deserve to lose. He is, however, downvoted by the community (via Reddit).
Remakes, DLCs and Live Service – When is a game a game?
Some fear that the nomination of a DLC could open the door for the nomination of live-service games. Then the same game could win Game of the Year multiple years in a row.
The discussion shows that there is fundamental disagreement about how to handle different types of games at the Game Awards. For instance, the Cyberpunk expansion Phantom Liberty was not nominated for Game of the Year last year, but did secure “Best Ongoing Game.”
This also caused frustration, as live-service games, which actually receive new content continuously, were overlooked, while Cyberpunk wrapped up with Phantom Liberty. However, it is now believed that Elden Ring could have been nominated in this category instead.
Now it’s your turn! Here you can tell us what you think about this year’s DLC nominations. Do you think the nomination is justified and wish for Elden Ring to win? Do you find the nomination of DLCs acceptable but not enough to win? Or are you completely against it?
In the following survey, you can select the option that suits you best. Feel free to leave a comment sharing your thoughts on the nomination of Elden Ring.
When will the Game Awards 2024 be awarded? The Game Awards will be held on Friday, December 13, 2024, between 01:30 – 05:00 AM. In Germany, that is in the middle of the night. The nominated games will be announced beforehand.
Good counters help against the strongest decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket. To give you the best chance against the S-tier decks built by players, we’ll reveal 5 good counters.
How do I best win against the strongest decks? With each new booster wave, new Pokémon cards come to TCG Pocket. Each time, the tier list of the best decks can change, which players use to build their own decks. Therefore, it’s important to be well-prepared against these decks.
You can find the currently best decks from Pokémon TCG Pocket in the following video:
Start video
Here are the 3 best decks for Pokémon TCG Pocket!
5 counters against the best decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket
1. Combination of Arbok and Smogmog / Tauboss against a strong opponent
If you face a deck that relies heavily on a strong Pokémon, you should aim to send that Pokémon back to the bench. Such a deck could be, for example, the one using Mewtwo-ex. Even more important is ensuring that the Pokémon doesn’t come back in the next round.
That’s why it’s advisable to include Arbok as a counter in your deck. Arbok has the ability that prevents the opponent from switching their active Pokémon in the next round. To send the opponent’s strong Pokémon to the bench, there are two options: You can either include Sabrina in your deck or rely on Tauboss, which can also send opponents to the bench.
In combination with Smogmog, which can poison the active opposing Pokémon once per round, you’ll quickly wear down the opponent.
2. Dragoran as a damage dealer against multiple opponents
Alternatively, the opposing deck may consist of several Pokémon that are strong against you. For example, the Pikachu-ex deck, which also has Zapdos-ex as a strong opponent. In this case, it may be more beneficial to build around Dragoran.
Dragoran deals 50 damage four times. Which Pokémon gets hit by the damage is random. This way, you can also hit Pokémon on the bench and eliminate them before they even make it to the battlefield.
3. Rossana as a counter against many energy counters
Some decks like that of Articuno-ex combined with Misty rely on having as many energy counters as possible right from the start. Mewtwo-ex can also quickly accumulate many energy counters when supported by Gardevoir.
In such decks, Rossana is invaluable. The Pokémon has the ability to deal an additional 20 damage to the opponent for each energy attached to it. This can quickly accumulate to a huge amount of damage, defeating the opponent.
Ditto is perhaps the simplest secret weapon, defeating opponents with their own weapons. The Pokémon requires the same amount of energy that the opponent’s attack requires. If you have gathered the energy on the bench, you can switch in Ditto and copy the opponent’s strong attacks. Mewtwo-ex would thus be knocked out with a Psychic Drive.
However, Ditto has a significant drawback: you must have the same energy as the opposing Pokémon. If you have assigned a different element, the attack unfortunately does not work.
5. Using weaknesses is always a good idea
And a general tip: Use elements in your deck that are considered weaknesses against the currently strongest decks. This way, the chance of encountering a specific element type that you can easily deal more damage to is high.
Additionally, certain effects like paralysis from electric Pokémon can help keep opponents in check. So study the currently best decks and look for their weaknesses.
The spotlight hour in Pokémon GO today is worth it. There is a good bonus and the chance to catch a rare Pokémon.
What is the spotlight hour? The spotlight hour is a weekly event that takes place every Tuesday. It starts at 6:00 PM and usually features a specific Pokémon in the spotlight. This Pokémon appears everywhere for one hour.
What’s special about today: Instead of just one Pokémon, there are two of them this week that will be featured during the spotlight hour.
Wadribie
Teddiursa
What bonus is there? In addition to the two Pokémon, you’ll also receive double Stardust tonight. This creates a combination that you shouldn’t miss.
Start video

Spotlight hour is worth it because of Wadribie
Why should I catch Wadribie? There are two reasons for this. First, Wadribie is a special Pokémon: Only its female variant can evolve into Honweisel. This version is very rare and hardly appears in the game. Since many Wadribie will appear tonight, you have a much better chance of catching a female specimen. And maybe you’ll even be lucky and catch a Shiny – but the Shiny rate is not increased.
Second, Wadribie is among the Pokémon that give you more Stardust than normal Pokémon. This, combined with the doubled Stardust bonus, practically guarantees that you’ll collect a lot of Stardust tonight. And it’s always worth it because you need it, among other things, for leveling up and learning new moves.
In addition to Wadribie, Teddiursa is also out and about. This can also be worthwhile since it can evolve into Ursaluna via Ursaring. If you still need Teddiursa or candies for evolution, today is your chance.
Are Wadribie and Teddiursa strong? Only to a certain extent, as they and their evolutions are really not suitable as raid attackers. The same applies to Wadribie and Honweisel in the PvP combat league; there are simply better options. But at least Ursaluna, Teddiursa’s final evolution, is good for battling in the Master League. However, you will need a lot of candies for that.
Additional raids at 6:00 PM: Not only is the spotlight hour running at 6:00 PM today. Thanks to the current event, “On to Adventure,” there is also a raid hour at the same time tonight. From 6:00 to 7:00 PM, Anego will appear in almost every gym. The poison attacker is also a good catch. And in the coming days, there will be even more legendary raid hours.

With Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar Games achieved a highly acclaimed masterpiece in 2018. Nevertheless, GTA 6 could enhance one of the biggest strengths of the action game even further.
There are many things that Red Dead Redemption 2 (short RDR2) does really well. An exciting story with emotional turning points, strong characters with clear life goals, and of course the immersive, always vividly alive open world. The ratings of RDR2 on Metacritic speak for themselves: 97 on PS4, 97 on Xbox, and 93 on PC. However, a former developer believes that GTA 6 could be even better than Rockstar Games’ “Wild West” game with a feature.
The world of GTA 6 could become even more vibrant
What could make GTA 6 better? Former Rockstar employee and GTA developer Ben Hinchliffe states that GTA 6 could have an even more vibrant and immersive world than Red Dead Redemption 2.
In an interview with IGN, Hinchliffe says that NPC behavior was a major aspect in the development of RDR, as the various people in the towns should be even more realistic. Overall, the game’s world should feel more like a “living, breathing world” because the towns are smaller and have a low population density.
Based on his experiences in game development, Hinchliffe believes that GTA 6 could even surpass the cowboy epic in this regard: “From a theoretical standpoint, and if you have the budget and team size, I see no reason why you couldn’t have the [Red Dead Redemption 2]-level of NPC interaction in a much larger game.”

An already very extensive role-playing game on Steam is getting even bigger with its latest update. In addition to a revised legend path, there are also new story content that could make replaying worthwhile.
Which game is being talked about here? Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a role-playing game in the style of Baldur’s Gate 3, but with real-time combat instead of turn-based tactics. The game is based on the pen-and-paper RPG Pathfinder and was already released in 2021 on Steam. Since then, it has been fed with plenty of new content and DLCs.
On Steam, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has a “very positive” rating, and MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus is also a big fan of the role-playing game. He explains why in the following article:
On November 18, 2024, the developers Owlcat Games released a “Game of the Year” edition that includes all expansions for the game. In a final content update, the legend path of the gold dragon will also be expanded.

What are the legend paths all about? Legend paths are a specialty of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. These paths provide divine powers and unique interactions later in the game. Additionally, they can have an impact on the ending of your game.
One of the legend paths in the game is that of the gold dragon. This path allows you to become the gold dragon or a corrupted version of it yourself. With the update, you can expect visual improvements as well as new abilities and story moments that come along with the path.
Here is a brief overview of some of the innovations in update 2.5:
New spell effects and animations for the gold dragon and a unique look for the corrupted version
A new legendary spellbook with a total of 10 new spells (some of them with corrupted versions)
10 new legend features to enhance your dragon breath
New domain and blessings to provide bonuses to dragon followers early in the game
To better integrate the legend path of the gold dragon into the story, two new dragon religions are available at character creation: Apsu and Dahak. These are of interest to all those who wish to follow this legend but do not want to commit to one of the two dragons.
Instead of focusing on a major quest, the developers wanted to emphasize a “high level of reactivity” in this case (according to Steam). Additionally, with the wisdom of the gold dragon, “two well-known characters can unexpectedly be led onto the path of good and redemption” – which ones they are, the developers do not reveal.
If you want to lead a new character onto the path of the gold dragon, now is the best time to do so.
No new mechanics or story content are planned for the future, by the way. According to the developers, the game is now complete.
We may also implement some quality-of-life improvements. However, we have no further plans for new mechanics or story content. So if you were waiting for the game to be complete… it is now!

Better passes and goalkeepers: Here are all the new features
The PS5 Pro impresses with strong performance, but different fan models lead to mixed experiences. Users report high noise levels, annoying whistling sounds, and heat development.
What exactly is the problem? Some PS5 Pro owners find that their consoles are louder than expected. On resetEra, X and Reddit, experiences with Sony’s new high-end console are being compared. Initial impressions show that different fan models from manufacturers Delta Electronics and Foxconn are installed – with varying results.
Some users find the Delta fans louder, while others perceive the Foxconn models as more annoying. There is also disagreement on whether the PS5 Pro dissipates heat worse depending on the fan model or if it’s just poorly positioned.

How does this manifest in practice? Measurements from GamePro found that the PS5 Pro reaches a noise level of 37 decibels under full load directly next to the console and 28 decibels at a distance of two meters. For comparison: 30 decibels corresponds to quiet whispering.
However, some users on Reddit and resetEra report a high-frequency whistling that is perceived as disturbing depending on individual sensitivity. This is referred to as coil whine. Coil whine occurs when components vibrate due to current flow, producing a high-frequency sound. This high frequency is mainly associated with the fan model from Delta.
Poorer heat dissipation due to the different fans is not clearly verifiable, contrary to some opinions. The PS5 Pro generates up to 220 watts of waste heat under full load, as tests from PCGH show. This heat is dissipated from the underside and the back. Since the fans are nearly identical in design, it is rather unlikely that the heat production of the PS5 Pro depends on this.
Foxconn or Delta? It’s a matter of luck
What does this mean for buyers? The different fan models turn the purchase into a bit of a gamble, where buyers don’t know which model is installed in their console and what noise development to expect. Some users have therefore ordered two PS5 Pros to reduce the risk.

On YouTube and Reddit, you can now find many videos and comparisons showing and testing the various fan models of the PS5 Pro. The tech YouTuber frankyfife has, for example, disassembled both fans and compared their design, and on Reddit, someone describes their experiences with both model variants.
This means you can listen in advance to how loud or high the sounds of the individual models are and consider whether that would bother you. It is important to note: Everyone perceives sounds differently. What is hardly noticeable to one person may be extremely annoying to another.
Are there solutions or recommendations? Currently, there is no official way to identify the installed fan model before purchase. Regarding the heat development of the PS5 Pro, sufficient space is the most important factor – especially if it is placed in a closed TV cabinet. If the ventilation paths are blocked, the temperature inside the case rises, leading to more intense and louder cooling. The official stand by Sony also slightly hinders air circulation at the bottom, according to PCGH, but you should definitely avoid completely blocked ventilation paths (e.g. by objects).
Sony’s latest high-end console has a significant advantage over previous models. What Nvidia has already demonstrated with DLSS, the PlayStation can now also do with the so-called PSSR. Sony’s AI-supported technology scales lower resolutions to higher ones. You can read how this works and what it effectively changes here: What is PSSR? The new technology of the PS5 Pro explained

Update from 15.04.2025: Today, Patch 8 goes live in Baldur’s Gate 3. Most mods will be prepared for Patch 8 in the coming days and weeks. If you want to continue using your mods without complications, it is best to stick with Patch 7 for now.
One person has sifted through all 13,000 mods for Baldur’s Gate 3 and discovered a few real gems. We reveal which ones they are.
Since Baldur’s Gate 3 was released, a lively modding scene has developed. Here, small add-ons are continuously released that change certain details in the game. These can be additional clothing items, an increase in the maximum party size, or even new spells and abilities – what can be changed is virtually unlimited.
However, sifting through all the mods can be exhausting. Luckily, neither you nor we have to do it – because one player has taken on the task for all of us.

What did the player do? LaserLotusLvl6 posted in the Baldur’s Gate 3 Subreddit about having looked at all 13,000 mods for the game. He went through the entire list from top to bottom and took a look at all of them at least once. In doing so, he found some adjustments that he believes deserve a little more attention.
10 Mods for Baldur’s Gate 3 that hide among the thousands
Which mods does he recommend? Ultimately, LaserLotusLvl6 installed a whopping 192 mods that drastically change Baldur’s Gate 3. Many of them are well-known classics that we have also shown you in our article on the 10 best mods for Baldur’s Gate 3. However, he also selected 10 mods that ran a little “under the radar” and are therefore worth a closer look. We present the mods to you in short:
Karlach’s 4th wall break dialog restoration
This mod allows a specific dialog with Karlach to take place again – as it is currently not available in the game. With this mod, you can experience a scene in which Karlach breaks the fourth wall and recognizes the player on the screen.
A small mod that allows you to not hold down the middle mouse button for automatic camera movement (which can become uncomfortable during longer sessions).
A mod that changes the physical properties of piercings (like earrings) so that they are affected by movements and, for example, swing a bit or tilt downwards when the character is lying down.
This small extension reduces the length of staves in the game. This ensures that the beautiful ends of the staves are visible in cutscenes – as they usually extend beyond the screen and you can only see the shaft.
With one of the latest patches, the “casual clothes” in Baldur’s Gate 3 were changed. They now shine and shimmer as if they were permanently wet or made of latex. This small mod reduces the light effects and makes them look like proper fabric clothes again.
Astarion sometimes has strange facial expressions – this can be fixed.
Astarion Unusual Smile Animation Replacer
Astarion suffered in the last patch – his facial features are sometimes significantly more extreme. He grins widely, and a gentle smile is hardly seen from him. This mod fixes the issues and ensures that the vampire appears friendlier again – at least when intended.
A mod that allows you to customize the body hair of all races more significantly. You can choose to remove many hairs – or even give hair to races that otherwise have none. Elves with beards, for example.
This mod allows you to roam Faerun as the Master Chief from Halo. Together with his assault rifle, with which he normally hunts the Covenant or Flood. No critical questions. Just smile and nod.
Note that not all of these mods are available on consoles. Only a portion of them is currently available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
Surely these adjustments aren’t for everyone. Some are simply silly, others unnecessary from some perspectives – but for others, they can significantly enhance the enjoyment of the game. Do you have any other mods that are not so well known and in your opinion deserve a closer look? The developers have already presented some as well.

In 2022, a member of the US Air National Guard stole classified documents and shared them on private Discord servers. The reason was that the passionate gamer wanted to impress his fellow players in MMOs like War Thunder and Minecraft. He has now been sentenced to 15 years in prison in Boston for this.
Who is the convicted individual? 22-year-old J. Teixeira was inducted into the Air Force in Massachusetts in September 2019 and initially was unremarkable. He was passionate about War Thunder and Minecraft and was active on private Discord servers.
On the servers, there were about 25 other players who exchanged ideas on topics like assassinations, mass murders, and conspiracy theories, aside from the games. Teixeira seized this interest as an opportunity to share classified internal information and documents to make himself important among his peers. He was ultimately arrested in April 2023 and has now been sentenced to 15 years in prison in Boston.

Bragging with consequences
How did the arrest come about? In early 2022, Teixeira began taking home top-secret information he accessed during his work as a US soldier as notes. He quickly became bolder and started using a rarely used printer to steal complete documents.
In August 2022, according to a report from the US Air Force, he was caught viewing websites with top-secret content and taking notes. He was aware of the illegality of his actions according to secure Discord chats.
The information he shared did not remain private for long and began circulating outside Discord as well. Gradually, all leaks appeared on 4chan and other social platforms, some of which were intentionally altered to spread disinformation.
Teixeira initially attempted to destroy all evidence and persuade his acquaintances to delete all data. After Discord provided authorities with his address, he was arrested in April 2023.
What were the consequences? Among the documents were classified information regarding the war in Ukraine, as well as information about the development of a supersonic reconnaissance drone in China.
Teixeira initially pleaded not guilty but later withdrew his statement and confessed to his actions when an indictment under the Espionage Act was also on the table, which could have meant the death penalty for him.
Additionally, 15 other individuals connected to Teixeira were also investigated. Most of them were discharged from service or lost their positions.
However, Teixeira is not the only one whose conviction was connected to his favorite hobby of gaming. In 2018, a RuneScape player was released after serving 6 years in prison for “trolling” another player: 6 years in prison for ‘online trolling’ – he is now free again

There are various bonuses this week, one of which is the appearance of the four 5-star monsters Anego, Kapu-Riki, Ur-Dialga, and Ur-Palkia.
All four can currently be challenged in raids. Additionally, each of them gets its own raid hour.
When are the raid hours? The dates and times are as follows:
November 19, at 6:00 PM: Anego
November 20, at 6:00 PM: Kapu-Riki
November 21, at 6:00 PM: Ur-Dialga
November 22, at 6:00 PM: Ur-Palkia
All four can also appear as shiny if you’re lucky. Below, we’ll briefly look at what the four can do.

How strong is Anego?
Anego in Pokémon GO
What Anego can do: Anego is the strongest poison attacker in Pokémon GO when excluding mega evolutions. Even then, it is currently only surpassed by Mega-Gengar. So if you’re looking for a top poison attacker, Anego is a good choice. It inflicts a lot of damage but can’t take much in return.
The problem is that poison attackers are rarely needed in raids. Also, Anego is not a particularly useful monster in the PvP battle league. Nevertheless: It is relatively easy to defeat in raids and can complement your collection.
What Kapu-Riki can do: Of the four bosses this week, Kapu-Riki is the least interesting, as it performs poorly both in PvP and as a raid or gym attacker. The Electric and Fairy type monster is simply not a strong fighter.
Here you should mainly try to get the shiny if you don’t have it yet. But overall, this is a raid that you can skip compared to the others.
Dialga and Palkia in their Ur form and their shiny variants
What Ur-Dialga can do: Dialga in its Ur form is a very strong attacker. This monster is among the best Steel-type attackers and also among the best Dragon-type attackers. Additionally, it can deliver very good matches in the Master League. Thus, it is a very good Pokémon.
It also has the special feature of being able to use the move “Times Noise.” This also represents an adventure effect, which you can activate outside of battles. For 5,000 Stardust and 5 Dialga candies, you can pause the item countdown of items like incense, lucky egg, and similar for 6 minutes. If you stack the effect, you can use your items noticeably longer. Especially during the daily adventure incense, some trainers use this to have a better chance at Galar birds.
Important: There is only a chance that your newly caught Ur-Dialga knows Times Noise. It is not guaranteed with every capture.
What Ur-Palkia can do: The same applies to Ur-Dialga: Ur-Palkia is one of the top Pokémon in the game and can excel as both a raid attacker and in the battle league.
Its Spatial Rend is also an adventure effect. With it, you enlarge the catch radius around you, so you can see significantly more Pokémon on the map. So, Ur-Palkia is also a very useful Pokémon that you should not miss.
Important: Even with Ur-Palkia, there is only a chance that your newly caught specimen knows Spatial Rend. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee here either, so you’ll have to rely on your luck. If you want to face Ur-Palkia in a raid: Here are the best counters against Ur-Palkia.

A player discovers that Steam has kept their save games after 18 years. Many in the community say that only Steam is this reliable. With other services, there would only be problems.
Many manufacturers now offer the option to store game saves in the cloud. This way, you can quickly access them when you’re on the go or switch devices.
Now, a player reports on Reddit that Steam has stored his ancient save games to this day: For the 20th anniversary of Half Life 2, he started the shooter once again and discovered that Steam is still saving his Half-Life 2 save games from 2006. He adds that no other service has been so reliable so far:
I couldn’t agree more. But since this was one of the first cloud services I used, it’s still amazing that everything remains intact. I’ve used other services that have lost some of my old data during server upgrades over the last two decades.
Players are enthusiastic about Steam: After all, it’s quite unusual for a game, and especially old save games, to still work perfectly after so many years. In comparison, players mention other launchers and programs from other manufacturers that cause significantly more problems. Steam is considered the best solution on the market by many. Someone explains this and expresses what many think:
The special thing about Steam is its relative reliability. It’s not perfect, but after two decades, where it hasn’t let me down, no other online service I use comes close.

A user asks Valve if he can bequeath his many games on Steam – they reply
Other manufacturers charge for cloud services
What about the competition? Many manufacturers and providers now offer their users cloud saves or something similar. However, especially console manufacturers charge for this and eventually delete your data:
Sony (PS4, PS5): Sony also offers cloud saves for its PlayStation console. The problem: You can only use the cloud saves if you have a paid PS Plus subscription. If you deactivate your subscription, the save games remain stored for up to 6 months before they are deleted by Sony. What else you need to know about canceling PS Plus can be found on MeinMMO.
Microsoft (Xbox): Microsoft, on the other hand, also offers cloud saves for the Xbox family but does not require a paid subscription to use them. At least that’s what the official FAQ states.
Nintendo (Switch): Nintendo also offers cloud saves for the Switch. However, you need to subscribe to the paid “Nintendo Switch Online” plan, similar to the PlayStation. Additionally, some games are not compatible with cloud saves on the Switch as well. Again, there is a 6-month grace period for Nintendo to delete your data after your subscription ends.
