A completed degree is by no means a guarantee of being well-trained for a specific industry, as some computer scientists realize.
Who has what problem here? On Reddit, there are several threads with dozens of similarly sounding comments, and they all share one theme: College or university graduates who should have primarily focused on learning to program during their studies have exactly that problem – despite their successful completion. For example, neveracontharry writes in one of the Reddit threads in the subforum “learnprogramming”: “I am 22 years old, graduated from university at 21, and have absolutely no idea what I’m doing.”
Other graduates report similar experiences in other threads that can also be found on Reddit. But there are also tips for all the frustrated, who mostly say they belong to the so-called Gen Z as those under 30.

There is a lack of practical experience
What challenges do young programmers face? Many consistently report that they know the theory well, but do not feel able to write even complex programs themselves. They can read lines of code and understand their meaning, but lack the ability to design, code, and debug software from the initial characters to the final version. Some, like No-Instruction-2395, express their concerns in another thread on Reddit, about being unable to work:
I feel like I haven’t learned anything at all and certainly don’t know enough to get a job in the industry.
Especially the many online courses during the pandemic, according to reports, led to a significant lack of practical experience. It was mostly about the “how,” but rarely a solid approach was taught on how to achieve a desired result. Often, learners simply worked through tutorials, as several report.
What does Reddit recommend?
Several seemingly experienced programmers offer advice. In the comments, there are many links to resources for those seeking help, as well as complete guides on which programming language is best learned for what purposes and what to do with it as practice to showcase to an employer. User connorjpg lists in a Reddit post a comprehensive guide for everyone who wants to delve into web development.
In The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, players occasionally come across books that they can read. One player has made it his mission to read all 337 books that relate to the lore. His conclusion: Don’t do it.
How did he do it? A player read the 337 books, which consist of novels or stories that expand the lore of the game. Overall, Skyrim has more than 820 written works (via The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages), but the player excluded diaries and notes that had nothing to do with Skyrim’s mythology.
Only the 337 books he read provide an insight into the culture and history of the game. They convey information about various peoples and factions that inhabit Tamriel. They do so in many different forms, such as short stories about powerful artifacts or the politics of the continent.
You can watch the Skyrim trailer here:
Start video
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Official Trailer
Some of the books from Skyrim are worth it
To evaluate the written works, the player categorized them into several categories:
Historical: Mostly biographies, he found most of them very boring
Instructions, mostly recipes or guides for dishes or equipment
Good Fiction: the only books he enjoyed
Academic: Reminded him of college
Mythical: Differ very little in content from the historical ones, but are more exciting
Dramatic: Plays and poems
Eh: All the books he couldn’t categorize anywhere else
In the Good Fiction category, he could even name his top 5 that he enjoyed. For him, all Skyrim players should at least have read these titles if they are interested in the lore. The video made for Polygon can be watched here:

How long were the books? The 337 books he read contained more than 316,000 words. This makes the books about as long as the second part of A Song of Ice and Fire, the basis for the popular series Game of Thrones.
Should one do this? In principle, the player cannot recommend looking at all 337 books. He can only recommend his top 5 of Good Fiction. But players who are more interested in the traditions and backgrounds of the game might still enjoy it.
So, the player’s conclusion is that he read the books for other fans so they wouldn’t have to do it. Luckily, he didn’t set out to read the remaining books that have nothing to do with the lore. Otherwise, there would likely be more volumes of A Song of Ice and Fire, at least in terms of length.
A developer explains in an interview that gaming PCs and PS5 Pro cannot be compared. This is not only due to the price, but also to the potential performance that both devices promise to the customer.
In a published interview at wccftech with developer Tower Five, Game Director Renaud Charpentier shared his impressions about Sony’s upcoming console, the PS5 Pro. The development studio is known for the strategy game Empire of the Ants.
Sony releases the official reveal trailer for the PS5 Pro
A PC costs 3 to 5 times as much, but games do not look much better than on the PS5 Pro
When he was asked in the interview how the PS5 Pro performs at maximum resolution compared to a gaming PC, he replied (via wccftech.com):
As stated and presented by Sony, it is expected that most games will double their frame rate on the Pro version or improve the quality of scenes when they are already running at 60 on the PS5. Nevertheless, PCs at maximum performance are “limitless”, so they will naturally be more powerful, but they cannot be compared.
A fully equipped PC easily costs 3 to 5 times as much and consumes 3 to 5 times the electrical energy. What is interesting, and says a lot about the flattening silicon development curve, is that your game on your monster PC does not look or play three to five times better than on a PS5 Pro console. The return on high-end silicon drops significantly, and this could affect the lifespan of console hardware.
Gaming PCs are not surprisingly more powerful than a PS5, as the performance is not capped upwards unlike a console. However, a monster PC does not necessarily make the game look better than what the PS5 Pro achieves in the end.
He also draws another comparison with the PS4 Pro. He himself explains that the frame rate (FPS) will be doubled from the PS5 to the PS5 Pro, which is similar to the PS4 Pro. However, it is still too early to compare the performance of the PS5 Pro with games on the PS5.
According to Charpentier, PS5 games can at least make better use of the PS5 Pro hardware compared to PS4 Pro and PS4, due to the way games are developed nowadays compared to the previous generation.
At first glance, the PS5 and PS5 Pro look very similar, as Sony has changed the design very little. But what are the similarities and especially the differences between the PS5 and PS5 Pro? MeinMMO presents all the details and explains what you should pay attention to: PS5 Pro vs PS5 in comparison: What similarities and differences are there?

What kind of event is this? A Spotlight Hour is a small event that takes place every week on Tuesday for 60 minutes. During this event, one or more Pokémon are the focus and appear in very high numbers.
In addition to the Pokémon spawns, there is also a bonus that is active during the event time. This can be bonuses on experience points, candies, or stardust.

All Spotlight Hours in October 2024
When do the Spotlight Hours take place? Every Tuesday at 6:00 PM, a Spotlight Hour starts. Exactly 60 minutes later, at 7:00 PM, it ends. On which dates in October you can expect which content is detailed in the following table.
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? In this Spotlight Hour, Dusselgurr is in focus. This Pokémon has the types Normal and Flying, has been around since the 5th generation, and can evolve into Navitaub and then into Fasasnob.
What bonus is active? If you send Pokémon to the professor during this Spotlight Hour, you will receive double the amount of candies for it.
If you have previously tagged Pokémon, you can send the monsters in no time and enjoy a lot of additional candies.
Is the event worth it? Dusselgurr and its evolutions are not particularly strong attackers. Therefore, you should not expect to get a strong addition for your raid team during this Spotlight Hour.
It’s no different in battle leagues either. Here, you should definitely stick to other Pokémon.
However, the Sending bonus is a very good bonus that you should not miss if your Pokémon box is full and you still need candies for one or another Pokémon.
Can you catch Shiny-Dusselgurr? Yes, with a bit of luck you can also encounter and catch the shiny variant of Dusselgurr.
Spotlight Hour on October 8
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? The Galar variant of Flegmon is in the spotlight on October 8. This variant of Flegmon has existed since the 8th generation and can evolve into Galar-Lahmus and Galar-Laschoking.
What bonus is active? If you evolve a Pokémon during this Spotlight Hour, you will receive double the amount of experience points for it. It does not matter which Pokémon you evolve.
Is the event worth it? Galar-Flegmon and its evolutions are not particularly strong attackers. This also applies to their use in battle leagues.
If you have a lot of Pokémon you need to evolve and are busy collecting experience points, at least the bonus might be worth it for you.
Can you catch Galar-Flegmon as shiny? Yes. If you have some luck, you might also encounter the shiny variant of this Pokémon.
Spotlight Hour on October 15
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? On October 15, Knilz awaits you in the Spotlight Hour. This Pokémon has existed since the 3rd generation and is of the grass type. If you evolve it, you will get Kapilz.
What bonus is active? During this Spotlight Hour, you will receive double the amount of stardust for catching Pokémon. This bonus applies to all Pokémon you catch. If you use the item Star Piece, you will receive 50% additional stardust.
Is the event worth it? If you hope to gain a new strong attacker for your raid teams with Kapilz, you will be disappointed. Unfortunately, this Pokémon cannot be found in the list of the strongest attackers in Pokémon GO.
Unfortunately, Knilz and Kapilz are also not suitable for use in the battle leagues.
If your stardust depot is empty and you want to fill it up a bit, you can use the event for this. Since Knilz is already one of the Pokémon that give you more stardust, you can collect a decent amount with the bonus.
Can you catch Shiny-Knilz? Yes, Knilz is also available as shiny in Pokémon GO. You may encounter this form of the monster at the event as well.
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? On October 22, a total of 3 Pokémon await you in the Spotlight Hour. These are the ghost-type Pokémon Nebulak, Zwirrlicht, and Lichtel.
What bonus is active? In this event, you will receive double the amount of experience points for catching Pokémon. This bonus applies to all Pokémon you catch, not just the 3 Pokémon that are in the spotlight during the Spotlight Hour.
Is the event worth it? During this Spotlight Hour, you can acquire some reinforcements for your teams. In the final evolution of Nebulak, Gengar, you will obtain a strong ghost attacker for raids. The shadow variant is also suitable for the Hyper League.
Zwirrfinst, the final evolution of Zwirrlicht, is one of the best attackers for the Hyper League. In the ranking on pvpoke.com, Zwirrfinst ranks 12th in the Hyper League. The shadow variant even takes the 8th place.
If you evolve Lichtel into Skelabra, you can look forward to a strong fire attacker that can enhance your raid teams.
The bonus can also be interesting if you are actively collecting experience points.
Can you catch the Pokémon as shiny? Yes. All 3 Pokémon are also available in their shiny forms. With some luck, you can find and catch them during the Spotlight Hour.
Spotlight Hour on October 29
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? So far, it is still unknown which Pokémon will be the star of the Spotlight Hour on October 29. As soon as this is known, we will update the article for you.
What bonus is active? While the Pokémon is not yet known, the bonus is. During this Spotlight Hour, you will receive double the amount of candies for catching Pokémon.
The new month has begun, and of course, there are still plenty of other events waiting for you in the game that will bring you great content. We have summarized what they are for you: All events in October 2024 in Pokémon GO.

The shamans are in trouble. They were too powerful for an affix in World of Warcraft – now there will be consequences.
In the past WoW week, shamans were the absolute superstars for every “Mythic+” dungeon. All other healers had basically no chance against shamans, as they could handle the affix as easily as no other class. That’s why Blizzard is reacting and nerfing the shamans with the birthday patch.
Start video
WoW: The War Within – Forces Within
Shamans heal group affix with a single click
What was going on with shamans? In World of Warcraft, the various Xal’atath affixes rotate weekly. Sometimes you have to prevent orbs from reaching enemies, other times you need to defeat an additional enemy. However, in one week, all player characters receive a debuff that can be removed in various ways. Any type of effect removal counts – whether it’s a curse, poison, disease, or magic.
That’s precisely why shaman healers were unbeatable. While other healers struggle because they have high cooldowns on such dispels, the shaman can place a poison cleansing totem every 45 seconds, removing all poison effects from the group.
Since the affix appears roughly every 90 seconds, a healing shaman could single-handedly manage the troublesome affix with just one click, without the group needing to worry about it further.
What is changing? Blizzard seems to have found it a bit too powerful in hindsight, so with the birthday patch 11.0.5, there will now be a nerf to the poison cleansing totem. The cooldown will be increased from 45 seconds to 120 seconds (or 2 minutes). This way, the shaman will no longer be able to permanently cleanse the affix on their own, and the group must assist in one way or another.
In Pokémon GO the next Spotlight Hour is around the corner. This time, there are 3 Pokémon and an XP bonus waiting for you.
What kind of event is this? The Spotlight Hour is an event that takes place every Tuesday. During this event, one or more Pokémon are in focus and appear almost everywhere during the event.
Additionally, there is a bonus for the Pokémon, which is also active during the event time.
In the next Spotlight Hour, 3 Pokémon are waiting for you: Gastly, Shuppet, and Litwick. All three Pokémon are Ghost-type, and Litwick is also a Fire-type.

Spotlight Hour on October 22 – Start and Bonuses
When does the Spotlight Hour start? As always, the Spotlight Hour begins at 6:00 PM and ends an hour later at 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are active? If you catch Pokémon during the Spotlight Hour, you will receive double the amount of experience points. It doesn’t matter which Pokémon you catch. The bonus applies to every catch.
Can you catch the Pokémon as Shiny? Yes. All 3 Pokémon are already available in their Shiny forms in Pokémon GO. With a bit of luck, you might be able to snag one or two Shiny.
Is the Spotlight Hour worth it? You can collect one or two additions for your team during the Spotlight Hour.
If you evolve Gastly into Gengar, you will get a Ghost attacker that is weaker than other Pokémon but can strengthen your team if you have weaknesses there. While the Shadow version is slightly better, with Mega Gengar you even get a very strong attacker.
You can even use Mega Gengar as a Poison attacker, making it the strongest attacker of this type.
Litwick can be evolved into Chandelure. This monster is a decent Pokémon as both a Ghost and a Fire attacker, although it is not among the top best attackers in Pokémon GO.
The final evolution of Shuppet, Banette, is not particularly good as a raider but can shine in the battle league. If you use it in the Ultra League, you get one of the best Pokémon in the league.
Besides the Spotlight Hour, many other events are also coming up that will take place until the end of the month and provide you with various content. If you want an overview, take a look at our overview of the events in October 2024 in Pokémon GO.

In Diablo 4 there are various shrines that provide you with certain bonuses. However, one of them is more of a nuisance than a help for many players.
As you walk through the open world of Diablo 4, through dungeons or the pit, you will find shrines that you can interact with. Some grant you really strong bonuses – such as increased attack speed and additionally holy arrows that are cast by skills.
Which shrine are we talking about? The Conduit Shrine grants you the power of lightning for a few seconds. This buff existed in a similar form in Diablo 3, where it was considered the ultimate advantage. And even in the early seasons of Diablo 4, the buff was still extremely useful.
Since Season 4, however, the shrine has bothered many players more than it has helped. The effect of the shrine causes you to surge through opponents and shock them. During this time, you are immune and essentially become a walking lightning bolt. You move faster and all your skills are replaced by a “lightning leap”. Especially the latter is being discussed again right now.
Why is this a problem? For the duration of the shrine effect, you cannot use your skills. This wouldn’t be a problem if the effect’s skill were strong enough. However, many players believe that the damage is too low and that the effect holds them back instead.
Diablo 4: The trailer for the first new class, the Spiritborn from Vessel of Hatred
“You’re just waiting for it to end”
On Reddit, Brutalicore3919 writes in their post that the Conduit Shrine is worse than a million stubbed toes. They would rather step on a LEGO brick on their way to the bathroom at 3 AM than ever click on a Conduit Shrine in a game.
In the comments, other users also share their opinions on the shrine. geshtar finds it the worst thing in Diablo 4 to simply click on a shrine without checking which one it is – and then it turns out to be a Conduit Shrine. “Suddenly you can’t die, but you also can’t deal any damage, and you’re just waiting for it to end,” they write.
And Razzer85 believes: “They should remove it on the torment levels; it just tickles the monsters, it’s embarrassing.” Also, AbsoluteLunchbox finds the shrine particularly “bad” in the endgame. In hardcore mode, they like it at low levels since you can’t die at least for that short time, they note. However, they would think it good if they could deactivate it again.
Cursed variants of the shrines can trigger events. This means that if you click on a cursed shrine and receive the buff, a timed event with a specific goal starts – primarily in dungeons. Here, too, users see a problem. ImNotSalinger writes: “A cursed Conduit Shrine essentially means starting the event with a 30-second penalty.”
Whether Blizzard will adjust the Conduit Shrine so that it becomes worthwhile again is unclear. However, the developers often strive to implement player feedback in a timely and satisfactory manner. This has worked well in many cases. Recently, Blizzard revised the seasonal mechanics, which many players found too boring and too slow.

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the shooter series brings back a turn-based zombie mode. What you need to know about the mode can be found on MeinMMO.
To ensure that you are perfectly prepared to start the zombie mode on October 25, when the release of CoD Black Ops 6 takes place, we provide you with an overview of the contents in this article.
You will get an overview of:
the main quest and the new Directed Mode
the currencies: Essence & Salvage
gum, field equipment, equipment, ammunition mods, augmentations, and the equipment
[toc]
The Zombie Mode in Brief
How does the mode work? The zombie mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a classic, turn-based horde mode where you must eliminate waves of zombies and survive. The goal is to survive as many waves as possible.
At launch, you can play the mode on 2 different maps, Liberty Falls and Terminus. A third map is expected to be released by the end of the year. Each map features a main quest that you can complete while playing the mode, and completing it rewards you.
To avoid facing zombies empty-handed, you can equip yourself with firearms and melee weapons. Additionally, you have access to lethal and non-lethal equipment as well as various field equipment in the fight. You can also strengthen yourself with 28 different gums, 5 ammunition mods, 8 perk-a-colas, and 5 field equipment.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 shows the zombie mode in the trailer
Main Quest, Easter Eggs, and Directed Mode
Main Quest: Each map has a main quest that spans several hours. When you complete the main quest of a map, you receive unique rewards that correspond to that specific map. However, your run does not end after completing the main quest. You can fight zombie waves as long as you survive – or until you extract.
Directed Mode: The “Directed Mode” is a new mode for players who are diving into the zombie experience for the first time. This mode is set to be released later in the season. Within the mode, all side quests and Easter eggs are disabled. It primarily serves to guide new players through the main quest under simplified conditions. For example, in Directed Mode, the quest objectives are listed on the side of the screen.
Easter Eggs: Black Ops 6 will allow you to find various Easter eggs and present you with the solutions to different side quests.
Currencies: Essence & Salvage
In the zombie mode of Black Ops 6, you collect 2 currencies while playing: Essence and Salvage. Each currency serves a different purpose and is earned in different ways.
Essence: You receive it in the form of points that you collect by eliminating zombies or find it as vials with Dark Aether Essence. The vials are sometimes dropped by stronger enemies.
Essence is used, for example, to:
acquire perk-a-colas, weapon upgrades, random weapons, or ammunition during a round
access target-related devices or open doors
Salvage: You collect it as small, green-bordered scrap piles that are randomly dropped by defeated enemies. In Black Ops 6, there is only one type of salvage. Also, the currency is only collected on a player basis – so you don’t have to worry that your teammates will steal the scrap that belongs to you.
Salvage is used, for example, to:
access ammunition mods
increase the rarity of a weapon
specifically equip tactical, lethal, or support equipment
When assembling your loadouts in the zombie mode, you can carry the following equipment, which you will have with you from the start of your run:
Primary weapon (assault rifles, etc.)
Melee weapon
Field equipment
Tactical equipment (stun grenades, etc.)
Lethal equipment (fragmentation grenades, etc.)
Gum package (contains 5 gums)
During the run, you can use your collected currencies to switch or upgrade your weapons, craft new equipment, or buy perk-a-colas and ammunition mods. Additionally, you can craft support equipment like armor plates or a Hellstorm.
What are Gums? In the zombie mode of Black Ops 6, you have a package with 5 different gums in your loadout that you can consume. Consuming them uses up the gums. Each gum grants you a special effect, such as a weapon upgrade, improved armor, or reviving your teammates. There are a total of 28 different gums in varying rarity levels.
What is Perk-a-Cola? These cola cans are obtained from special vending machines. When you consume such a cola, it grants you a perk like increased health, immunity to status effects, or increased movement or reload speed. At the launch of Black Ops 6, there are 8 different types of perk-colas available.
What are Ammunition Mods? During a run, you can purchase ammunition mods with salvage. These ammunition mods cause your weapons to have a specific effect when you hit an enemy. At launch, there will be 5 different ammunition mods that cause effects such as poison, ice, or fire damage.
This is what a loadout in the zombie mode of Black Ops 6 might look like
Augmentations to Enhance Equipment
What are Augmentations? These are unlockable enhancements that you can assign to your perk-colas, ammunition mods, and field equipment before starting a run. At launch, a total of 108 augmentations will be available to you.
From level 11, you unlock augmentation research and can then select items for which you want to start research. You will then need to collect experience points to unlock the augmentation.
Additional Challenges
To prevent you from getting bored in the zombie mode and to allow you to achieve special goals, Black Ops 6 offers you a variety of challenges.
Weapon Camos: In zombie mode, you can unlock 4 separate mastery camos.
Dark Ops: A set of mysterious challenges
Crosshair Challenges: In Black Ops 6, you can customize your crosshair, and with these challenges, you unlock zombie-specific crosshairs
Prestige: Black Ops 6 returns to the classic prestige system, allowing you to unlock cosmetic content like operator skins and weapon blueprints.
You can read on MeinMMO how exactly the prestige system of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 works, how you unlock new camos, and other rewards through prestige, and what you generally need to know about the prestige system: CoD Black Ops 6: Prestige System explained – How the multiplayer changes

Why Baldur’s Gate 3 is almost unplayable without turn-based mode is impressively demonstrated today by the end of a playthrough.
Death comes swiftly in Baldur’s Gate 3. However, there is usually enough time to react – at least when using turn-based mode. But a user on Reddit now shows how quickly a previously solid “Honour Mode” run can come to an end if you let your guard down for just a moment.
Start video
Baldur’s Gate 3 is 1 year old and to celebrate the creators share your dirty secrets
What happened? In the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit, Heartfruit_ demonstrates how his “Honour Mode” playthrough comes to an abrupt end just before the end of Act 1. He is in the mountain pass at the monastery to obtain the legendary weapon of Lathander. However, the way there is filled with traps that are particularly treacherous in this variant. They push characters back and throw them into an abyss – resulting in instant death.
The main character did not disarm the trap and thus immediately goes sailing into the abyss. However, the rest of the party dutifully follows into the deadly chamber, and before the player can get his heroes to safety, they too are flung into the abyss.
Why did this happen? The traps in the monastery are triggered repeatedly at intervals after activation. However, the game does not automatically switch to turn-based mode here, so the pushing impulse of the trap is triggered every few seconds.
After the “main character” has flown into the abyss, the rest of the group follows and is also hurled into the depths – over a span of 3 seconds. At this point, there is nothing left to save, and only the familiar “Game Over” message appears.

How could this have been avoided? In the comments, most people chalk up this experience as a lesson learned. Because if you’ve ever been killed by such a trap – especially in Honour Mode – then you are unlikely to make the same mistake again. Additionally, here are two important tips that can help avoid such an ignoble end:
The turn-based mode can be started manually. Then, all characters and objects, including the traps, only take action when it is their turn. This way, you know exactly when the trap is triggered and can avoid it.
The group should act “ungrouped”, meaning each character individually. Since the group was still considered “connected”, the other characters followed the leader to the deadly spot – only to shortly thereafter fall into the depths themselves.
Some of the comments also chalk this up as a “lesson learned”:
“If anyone ever asks you: ‘If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you follow them?’ Then answer: ‘Yes, we were connected as a group.'” – Sea_Yam7813
“This is a hard lesson. RIP Team” – Mordyth
“Always ungroup, just in case. If you had rolled a 1, it would have been the same outcome. Anytime a dice roll can kill a character, you should plan as if that death is guaranteed.” – 7hr0wn

This character, aka Rook, can not only be customized in appearance: you can choose their race, class, and faction. The latter gives your character a story within the adventure, which in turn provides you with unique dialogue and interaction options.
Which faction will you join in your first run? Vote and let us know in the comments why you want to choose this group. Below the poll, we will introduce the factions again.

The Factions – Backgrounds for Your Rook
When you create your character, you choose a race and customize the appearance of the character. Additionally, you must choose one of three different classes. Finally, you give your Rook a backstory by choosing one of six different factions:
The Grey Wardens
The order was founded to protect the world from the Darkspawn. Their headquarters is at the fortress of Weisshaupt, but they are active all over the world of Dragon Age.
The Masters of Destiny
The Masters of Destiny are a relatively new group in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. They made their debut as treasure hunters, explorers, and hunters in the anthology Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights.
The Crows of Antiva
The Crows are based in the city that bears their name: Antiva. The assassin guild influences their nation from behind the scenes as best they can. They do not shy away from contract killings – even the royal family is not safe from them.
The Shadow Dragons
This group may be familiar to you from Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights and the comic Dragon Age: The Missing. The Shadow Dragons are a resistance movement that fights for the abolition of slavery and against corruption.
The Veiljumpers
The Veiljumpers also made their first appearance in a comic and a short story. This group of researchers explores ancient elven ruins in the forest of Arlathan.
The Mourning Watch
Anyone who joins the Mourning Watch becomes a member of a necromantic order that deals with failed magic, Nevarran funerary rites, and the possession of corpses. The group is known from Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights.
You won’t have to wait much longer for Dragon Age: The Veilguard. So feel free to let us know in the comments why you chose a specific faction. Also, let us know if you have already picked a particular playstyle and why.

In Diablo 4, there are particularly rare, unique items – the Mythic Uniques. This includes the Gleve Nesekem, the Herald. We will show you how to obtain the weapon and what it entails.
What kind of item is this? Nesekem, the Herald is a mythical Gleve. This means it is one of the rarest items in Diablo 4. The Mythic Unique was introduced with Vessel of Hatred, and only the Spiritborn can equip the weapon. With the Spiritborn, a total of 16 new Uniques were added to Diablo 4.
What can the item do? The Gleve has the effect that every 5 seconds, it marks a random nearby enemy. Marked enemies are vulnerable, your attacks will critically hit them, and you will overwhelm them. After you have hit a marked enemy 10 times, the mark is removed.

Additionally, it grants you bonuses to the following stats:
Damage against elite enemies
all attributes
maximum health
critical hit damage
overwhelm damage
The Mythic Unique “Nesekem, the Herald” is among the items that only the Spiritborn can equip. Another weapon that also plays an important role in Spiritborn builds and drops more frequently than the Mythic Unique is the “Staff of Kepeleke”.

Farming Nesekem, the Herald
Where can I find Nesekem, the Herald? To have the Mythic Unique dropped, you can try your luck with the “tormented” bosses. You can find these bosses since Season 6 at the four new torment levels and can summon them with the usual materials. You no longer need Stygian stones for this.
From torment level 1 onwards, all bosses have a chance to drop Mythics when you defeat them, making them suitable for farming Uniques and Mythic Uniques. It is also possible to obtain Mythics as loot drops outside of the bosses, but this is very rare.
You can also craft the Mythic Unique Nesekem, the Herald at the jeweler of your choice in Diablo 4. However, you will need two “Splendid Sparks”, runes, and 5,000 gold for this. At the jeweler, you can craft a random Mythic Unique from two sparks. Where to get the sparks from and what you can craft with them can be found here: Diablo 4: Crafting Splendid Sparks – How to craft Mythic Uniques with it

Part 1 of the Halloween Event with New Monsters for Pokémon GO
What new Pokémon are available? For the first time, trainers have the chance to catch a Morpeko. Each time it uses a charge attack, it can change its form during the battle. This is expected to create entirely new strategies, although initially, they will only work in battles against Team GO Rocket and in the GO Battle League.
Morpeko comes with an exclusive attack for 2 different forms:
Aura Wheel (Electric) is the charge attack of Morpeko’s Pappershape and deals 100 damage of Electric type.
Aura Wheel (Dark) is the charge attack of Morpeko’s Coalsmoke form and also deals 100 damage, but of Dark type.
You can encounter Morpeko as a reward for completed battle sets in the GO Battle League.
What about Dynamax battles? There’s also a debut here: For the first time, trainers can encounter Dynamax Gastly in Level 1 Dynamax battles. You can also encounter the following Pokémon:
What else does the event bring? In addition to the new pocket monsters, there are numerous features waiting for trainers in Pokémon GO. A rough list can be found here:

New event field research tasks
Paid timed research for about 2 or 5 euros

South Korea and China are considered the only serious teams at the League of Legends Worlds 2024, and so far that has proven true. FlyQuest was seen as having no chance against the Korean star team Gen.G. However, surprisingly, FlyQuest played confidently and became a silver lining for the US region.
What was the situation for FlyQuest? FlyQuest is a US team that barely managed to advance from the Swiss Stage to the quarterfinals. The team is indeed the LCS champion 2024, but the American league is generally considered to be quite weak.
In the quarterfinals of the current Worlds, they faced the Korean team Gen.G. The team is seen as a strong favorite for the world champion title. Together with LNG Esports, they are the only team that directly advanced to the quarterfinals with a 3:0 record.
On Sunday, October 20, 2024, the match took place and, contrary to expectations, FlyQuest did not let themselves be defeated and delivered an exciting quarterfinal.

The big favorite is sweating
How did the quarterfinals of both teams go? Right from the first game, the US team started with a victory. After less than 15 minutes, the team managed to gain a gold advantage, which they expanded. After about 30 minutes, they won a crucial team fight and thus also the game.
However, the second match was strongly dominated by Gen.G again, and FlyQuest lost.
In the third match, FlyQuest managed to recover and defeat Gen.G. After trailing 2:1, Gen.G could not be defeated anymore and won the last 2 matches. Ultimately, FlyQuest ended up losing 3:2.
Nonetheless, FlyQuest is the people’s champion for many fans, as with unconventional picks like Fiddlesticks and a noticeable will to win, the team showed that the US league still has potential. This is also reflected in the comments under a reddit thread:
AureliusAmbrose: Regardless of how the last game ended, I haven’t been this proud of an LCS team in a long time. […] Well done.
appleandapples: They need to play this roster again. The way they have improved over the year is amazing to see.
Syuv: I don’t care that they lost, they did their own thing and brought Gen.G to their knees. That’s exactly what we EU/NA fans expect from our teams at international events. Stop trying to do what others can do better than you. Well played, guys, keep your heads up.
Despite their defeats, FlyQuest and also G2 have shown many US and EU fans that there is still a lot possible outside of China and South Korea, and that these leagues should not be overlooked. Both regions have talents that can compete with the best of the best. However, despite these glimmers of hope, there are some problems, which even the Twitch streamer NoWay sees: Twitch streamer explains the disappointing performance of Europe and G2 at LoL Worlds – Proves to be a prophet

The anime of One Piece celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. The team is celebrating this with a very special episode. It has been received so well by fans that they are breaking into tears of joy in droves.
This time, One Piece Fan Letter focuses not on Luffy and his friends, but on ordinary citizens who are influenced by the actions of the Straw Hat crew.
In the special episode, we see a girl who takes Nami as her role model and writes her a fan letter.
A marine soldier manages to save his brother on the battlefield from a deadly attack thanks to Luffy.
A high-ranking marine officer is a big fan of Chopper and even has a hidden photo collection in the drawer of his desk.
The Straw Hats themselves only appear briefly in a few scenes. We experience in the end how they successfully sail away from the Sabaody Archipelago – thanks to the help of their admirers.
There are more individuals in the special episode, each idolizing a different member of the Straw Hat crew. For example, a bookstore employee is a huge fan of Brook and is disappointed that she couldn’t get a ticket for his last concert.
Through all these stories, viewers can identify with the characters shown. That’s why the episode is so well received online that it nearly catches up with Frieren, the current best anime.
You can see the first impressions of the special episode here:

One Piece Fan Letter ranks second among the best animes
How is the special received? Shortly after its release, One Piece Fan Letter lands at number 2 among the best animes on MyAnimeList. This is one of the largest ranking sites for animes. The ranking may change in the coming weeks as only about 17,000 people have rated it so far. For comparison: Frieren, the current anime at number 1, has about 924,000 ratings.
However, the rating of 9.26/10 points already indicates how fans assess the episode. For user SenEto99, the episode was better than anything he saw during the Wano Kuni or Egghead arcs. He has already watched the episode 5 times:

There are numerous reactions online that echo this sentiment. X user K__Oussama reportedly cried during the episode and is speechless about it. Also, MarianneDHobbit shared on X that she cried as well.
For X user Zoro186890, the episode is particularly interesting because it shows the true face of war during the Marineford arc. The episode depicts the bloody and brutal consequences of the battle, where even a marine soldier crouches in mourning next to his deceased comrade.
Another special highlight is that the ending of the episode features a well-known opening from One Piece – sung by the voice actors. Furthermore, not only the Straw Hats make an appearance, but also side characters like Perona – a character who is shown far too rarely in the anime.

The company Titan Computers sells high-end computers. For perhaps the strongest desktop PC in the world, you’ll pay around 123,000 euros. With that money, you could also buy a vacation or a sports car.
The company Titan Computers sells powerful high-end computers in the USA. According to its own website, the company counts numerous universities, NASA, and several US ministries among its customers.
With the A900, there is now an especially powerful PC available, if not the currently fastest PC you can buy. But with that money, you could also buy a nice sports car.
Another PC company did not have quite the same luck and success with its luxury PCs:

In the best configuration, you’ll pay around 123,000 euros
What’s inside the computer? In the basic configuration, you’ll pay “only” 7,975 US dollars for the computer. That is still quite a lot of money, but far from 120,000 euros. Only when you want the full configuration with 4 TB of RAM, the fastest CPU, and fast Nvidia graphics card, will you end up paying around 123,000 euros.
What do you need such a computer for? The company Titan Computers explains that the computer is primarily aimed at technical experts and less at gamers. As examples of applications, the company mentions things like deep learning, data analysis, media/video streaming, cloud gaming, and animation and modeling.
Therefore, the A900 is not necessarily a model that you would put under or on your desk for gaming to play Call of Duty or Baldur’s Gate. Theoretically, that works without any problems, but you won’t be able to fully utilize the AMD server CPU.

What else can you get for that much money? For 123,000 euros, you could also buy a sports car. The Porsche Taycan 4S already costs 120,900 euros in the basic configuration. Alternatively, you pay around 100,000 euros for the regular Taycan and can then spend the remaining 20,000 euros on upgrades. Or you can buy a heavy limousine with the BMW i7 for 120,000 euros.

World of Warcraft is fun – whether alone or in a group. At least for many. But do you play the MMORPG solo or with others?
World of Warcraft has significantly changed over the last two decades. After Blizzard’s MMORPG launched to revolutionize the online gaming landscape, Azeroth quickly became the home of millions of players. However, there has been an ongoing debate for years about how to play the game “correctly.”
Some love the game in groups and the social bonds formed in World of Warcraft – but some also love wandering alone through the vast world and only occasionally interacting with other players.
We therefore want to take a look at the readership of MeinMMO and know: Do you play World of Warcraft as a solo player or primarily together in a group?

WoW: The War Within – Shadows Beneath the Surface
What World of Warcraft Offers for Solo Fans
In recent years, and especially with the current expansion “The War Within,” World of Warcraft has ensured that lone wolves are offered more and more. In addition to the “usual” content that has been playable alone for years (such as quests, professions, and nearly all outdoor activities), there have been several innovations specifically designed for solo players:
Depths (Delves) are small “dungeons” that can be tackled alone and have an increasing difficulty level – for every skill level.
Dungeons now have a function that allows you to visit them with NPCs, rather than relying on other teammates.
Additionally, there is a wealth of activities that have always been a good engagement for solo players: achievements, pet battles, and collecting transmog.
In contrast, many believe that an MMORPG can only be played “correctly” if you take advantage of social features and primarily play in groups. Of course, after all, WoW is an MMORPG and the “Massive Multiplayer” should be felt. For many, that is the appeal of why they play World of Warcraft at all. Numerous contents are impossible without other teammates:
Tough dungeons like Mythic+
Raids at multiple difficulty levels
PvP in the form of battlegrounds or arenas
Additionally, social features such as guilds, communities, or the crafting system indirectly encourage interacting with other people.
Most features in the game are designed to also be completed with a group. There are only a few exceptions (like pet battles), so the majority of content is definitely suitable for group fans.
But now we come to you! We want to know how you play World of Warcraft. Do you usually go solo? Do you primarily complete content alone? Or can you not imagine playing an MMORPG without others and only log in when adventures with friends or the guild are waiting?
In Throne and Liberty, there is a field boss that is particularly challenging. Junobote is already located in a place that rarely opens its gates, and even if the path to him seems clear, guilds will stand in your way. However, with a trick, you can simply run past them.
Which boss are we talking about? In Throne and Liberty, field bosses spawn at different times of the day. These field bosses exist partly in PvE and in PvP. The boss Junobote is rarely present, and when he is, the path to him is not easy.
The field boss Junobote is located in the Shrine of Desire. The Shrine of Desire is an open-world dungeon that only opens when it is raining. Like in all open-world dungeons, the Abyss Contract applies, meaning that at night, PvP is activated and monster kills consume Abyss Contract tokens.
Those who wish to defeat Junobote as a field boss must go to the Shrine of Desire before the start, during rain, and stay there until the start, even if PvP occurs. But even if that is accomplished, there remains one final hurdle.
In Throne and Liberty, everything revolves around guilds:
Start video
Throne and Liberty: Deshalb ist eine große und aktive Gilde so wichtig
The last obstacle can be easily circumvented
What kind of obstacle is this? In Throne and Liberty, the player who defeats the most opponents in PvP gains the ability to switch to night mode at the press of a button every 12 hours. This makes the Shrine of Desire a PvP area, even when the field boss Junobote is supposed to occur in PvE. PvE players are often lured into PvP.
Powerful guilds exploit this on many servers to block access to Junobote. They wait until just before the start and then take out all players who want to fight the field boss. Large guilds continuously force other players into PvP.
However, there is said to be a trick to circumvent PvP in the Shrine of Desire.
What kind of trick is that? In the Shrine of Desire, there are two areas: an upper area with two floors and the field boss, and a lower area with many objects relevant to quests.
To quickly get from one area to the other, there is a teleporter that stands not too far from the boss Junobote. On Reddit, the user “Desu__” reports that the teleporter grants a shield that protects against attacks in PvP for up to 30 seconds.
While you are protected, you can simply run past the opponents and if you are quick enough, even reach the portals of the PvE boss. However, you must not attack anyone or use any abilities. If you do, your shield will end and you will become vulnerable again.
How can this be used? You simply wait at a teleporter to see if it turns night when the boss fight is about to begin. If it indeed turns night, you teleport to the upper area and run with your shield, without attacking anyone, to the portals.
Make sure not to use any abilities and to reach the portals as quickly as possible to enter before the shield expires.
At the moment, there is a bug in Diablo 4 that can destroy your hard-farmed loot with a quest item. Blizzard is already working on a solution, in the meantime, players are advised to be cautious about what they pick up from the ground.
What kind of item is it?
The remains of villagers (“Villager Remains”) are part of a side quest in Kyovashad.
Right now, players find the items in piles on the ground in the city, often at the entrance or directly at the city portal.
The community warns: If you notice the item, definitely leave it alone.
Start video
Diablo 4: Der Gameplay-Trailer zur 6. Season, der Saison des aufsteigenden Hasses
That’s why you shouldn’t pick up the item: On Reddit and in the official forum, there are dozens of reports from players who lost their items after picking up the remains. This concerns not just what you have in your inventory, but also equipped gear.
The exact cause of the error or what leads to the loss of items is currently unclear. The community suspects that the remains are linked to a duping glitch and are being exploited by scammers to illicitly duplicate valuable items. If you have accidentally picked up the remains, you can get rid of them in various ways:
Leave Kyovashad on foot – this seems to be the safest way
Teleport to another point on the map – however, there have already been reports that items may go missing if you wait too long
Absolutely do not just log out, as this reportedly causes the most problems
Blizzard is aware of the issue and is already working on a solution
On X, Diablo 4’s community manager, Adam Fletcher, has already spoken up. He says: The problem is known, and they are already working on a solution. We do not yet know when this is planned, but it will likely be included as a hotfix as soon as possible.
In the same post, Fletcher promises that “early next week”, which means sometime this week, a patch will be applied for more leather and ore. This has been planned for a while and is expected to be rolled out now.
Leather and ore remain a bottleneck for players looking to upgrade their gear to get the most out of their characters. Consequently, they are frustrated with the grind required for such simple materials and are now happy about the buff.
So far, we do not know how players who lost items due to the bug will be compensated. Some are asking for a rollback, that is, returning characters to a state prior to the bug. If you are affected, you can only wait for now, or you can try to buy your items from a vendor: You can simply get the rarest items in Diablo 4 from a vendor
