Pokémon GO offers a strong chance for 2 Shinies

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

You like collecting Shinies in Pokémon GO? Then don’t miss the next research day.

What is a research day? These events occur sporadically in Pokémon GO. Here, you must collect field research from PokéStops to get certain event monsters. Some of them will have an increased shiny chance.

When is the research day? The next research day will take place on September 22, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

What are the event Pokémon? The two main Pokémon of the event are Kommandutan and Quartermak. Quartermak will even appear for the first time ever as a shiny – and with an increased chance of encountering the shiny Pokémon. The increased shiny chance also applies to Kommandutan.

Additionally, other monkey-like event Pokémon will be around. We will show you all the information here.

All bonuses for the research day with Kommandutan and Quartermak

How do I get the Shinies?  Kommandutan and Quartermak will be in the event field researches that you get when you spin PokéStops. So plan for longer walks to pass as many stops as possible and increase your chances of getting the shiny.

Once you have completed the researches, you will encounter one of the two Pokémon, whose shiny variants will be significantly easier to find during this event than usual.

Are Kommandutan and Quartermak worth it?  Definitely for shiny collectors. As fighters, not so much: In raids, both are negligible attackers, as there are significantly better options among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.

In PvP, Kommandutan has the best chance to find a place in the Ultra League. Quartermak, on the other hand, generally falls short here.

So: Especially if you want to expand your shiny collection, this day is worth it.

Pokémon in the wild:  In the wild, you will encounter the following Pokémon. Possible Shinies are marked with an asterisk*. Note: There is no increased shiny chance for these Pokémon.

  • Menki*
  • Griffel*
  • Bummelz*
  • Panflam*
  • Chimpep

Additionally, a ticket will be offered in the shop, which is expected to cost 2 US dollars. The price in euros should be in a similar range. If you purchase this, you will receive a limited-time research task where you will also encounter Kommandutan and Quartermak with an increased shiny chance. However, it is only valid during the event period.

Space Marine 2: How to enable crossplay and play cooperatively with friends

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 offers fans not only a campaign but also the opportunity to join the co-op with different classes and complete operations. How you can meet up with friends from other platforms through crossplay is explained here.

How do I enable crossplay? You do not need to manually enable crossplay. Space Marine 2 activates crossplay on its own. However, if you want to be sure and check the setting, you can access the “Settings” menu from the start screen.

Under “Game,” scroll all the way down until you reach “Network.” Here, “Crossplay” should be set to “On.” If you do not want to play with crossplay, you can simply disable the setting.

Warning: If you have disabled crossplay, you can only be matched with players from your own platform. So if you are on PS5, you will only encounter PS5 players with the setting disabled. Steam and Xbox players will then be excluded.

How do I play in co-op? To play in co-op, you first need to complete the tutorial mission. If you are in a hurry, you can also skip it directly. Just open the menu and skip the intro.

Once Titus is assembled and you can move around the ship, you must first speak to Captain Acheron. Follow the way markers to participate in the briefing.

After the short conversation, you can now edit your squad on the upper right side of your screen. You now have three options for how you can join your friends or invite them:

  • You join your friends on the same platform through the menu
  • You generate an invitation code and give it to your friends
  • You enter your friends’ invitation code to join them

You can generate or enter an invitation code by clicking on the key icon in “Edit Squad.” A code will be displayed to you, which you can give to your friends. Or you can enter your friends’ code under your displayed code.

The PS5 finally gets a feature with Update 10 that fans have long wished for

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

The PS5 has received a major update with Update 10: Finally, customizable backgrounds that you can adjust at least in part on your PS5 are included.

What is the new feature? The Welcome Hub is now available on the home screen. This adds a new area to the PS5 that you can personalize: Previously, this area was called “Explore,” but it is now replaced by the “Welcome” Hub.

The advantage of this: You can completely customize the Hub and finally set a background image on your PS5. This is at least better than before and should please many players on the PS5. Because this was a feature that many wished for since the PS4 era for the PS5.

The Welcome Hub can be set up completely according to your ideas

The Welcome Hub is a new personalized area with customizable widgets and backgrounds on the PS5 home screen. It will be rolled out worldwide in the coming weeks and starts today for selected players in the USA.

In Germany, we still have to wait one to two months until the feature is available for us as well.

What can you customize? You can vigorously adjust the new Hub according to your wishes: You can choose from a variety of widgets, including:

  • one that shows how full your console storage is.
  • Battery levels for accessories.
  • Online status of friends.
  • collected trophies in your games.

Additionally, Sony also offers presets if you don’t want to make the settings yourself.

PS5 Welcome Hub Update 10
This is what the new Welcome Hub looks like on the PS5. With a customizable background and widgets.

Why do we still have to wait? Presumably, Sony wants to collect feedback from its American customers to continue adjusting and improving the feature.

When is Update 10 coming? The update is available now according to PlayStation.com and is usually downloaded automatically to your console.

A Dragon Ball insider reveals how the new anime Daima is connected to Super and DBZ

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Dragon Ball Daima starts in about 4 weeks. It is a new anime in which Son Goku and his friends shrink. An insider now reveals how Daima is connected to other series of Dragon Ball.

Where does Dragon Ball Daima fit in? In a video, YouTuber Geekdom101 reveals exactly when Dragon Ball Daima takes place on the timeline. According to him, it is the sequel to the Majin Buu saga. It occurs shortly after the victory over the pink creature, one of the worst villains from Dragon Ball Z.

You can see his statements in the following video starting at 4:30 minutes:

Thus, the events of Dragon Ball Daima take place before the feature film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods and the anime series Dragon Ball Super as well as Dragon Ball GT, in which Son Goku also becomes a child. Additionally, Dragon Ball Daima is not supposed to be an alternative timeline; the anime is said to be part of the main story.

Dragon Ball Daima is also connected to Dragon Ball Super. In the upcoming series, characters and worlds will appear that will reappear in later, significant arcs of Dragon Ball Super. However, the YouTuber does not know whether this pertains to the anime, manga, or the films of Dragon Ball Super. 

You can watch the official trailer for Dragon Ball Daima here:

Dragon Ball Daima is an official part of the main story

Is Dragon Ball Daima canon? The YouTuber says that he would hate the word “canon.” However, since the story is connected to Dragon Ball Z and Super, it counts for him as part of the official story. Moreover, Dragon Ball Daima does not intend to replace the Super anime. 

Since the Shueisha publishing house currently shows no interest in continuing the Dragon Ball Super anime, Akio Iyoku, the founder of Capsule Corporation Tokyo, has advocated for the continuation of another anime that is intertwined with Dragon Ball Super.

In 2013, he bought bitcoins for 4,800 €, today they are worth almost 3 million euros – He has long forgotten the password, and then an unusual idea came to him

Gerald Wessel Gerald Wessel Reading time 2 minutes

Necessity is the mother of invention: How a seemingly lost Bitcoin account became a fortune is worthy of a movie.

What idea did he come up with? The protagonist of this drama surrounding a crypto wallet, referred to only as “Michael” by the original source Wired, faced a problem: In 2013, he had purchased and stored Bitcoin worth approximately 4,800 euros. Now, the Bitcoins are worth nearly 3 million euros – but he could no longer access them.

To protect his investment, he secured access using the program RoboForm. It generated a 20-character password for him back then. However, this was lost for unknown reasons. What to do? He decided to have his own account hacked and reached out to an expert in the field.

Start video
In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?

An almost uncrackable program

Whom did he contact? Michael contacted Joe Grand, also known as Kingpin. The electrical engineer is a well-known expert in hacking hardware in America, but also understands delicate interventions regarding software security issues. He gained fame through appearances on American television.

A specialty of his is called reverse engineering. This is essentially understood as the in-depth analysis of a device or program to understand how it works. In the case of security systems, this may reveal how generations of, for example, passwords occur. After initial hesitation, Grand took on the task with a German colleague.

What exactly was the challenge? Ultimately, Michael only knew a few details; he knew:

  • The password has 20 characters.
  • It must have been generated sometime in 2013 – when exactly is unclear.
  • It contained no special characters, consisting only of numbers and letters.
  • The program used was called RoboForm, and the version used was released in 2013.

Did they manage to guess the password? Guessing, no; but ultimately Michael accessed the Bitcoins worth about 3 million euros, though the path there was rocky. They quickly ruled out the classic approach of guessing the password through countless attempts – it would simply be too time-consuming.

How did they succeed? After months of research and work, they managed to exploit a tiny vulnerability in the version of RoboForm that was current at that time: The date and time of the password creation formed the basis for the key generation – and this process was not as random as one might think. So, if someone knew the exact time of creation, the password could be recreated.

Ultimately, they were able to generate the correct password based on recorded activities with the Bitcoin wallet from spring 2013 and much trial and error, which was created on May 15, 2013, at 4:10 PM GMT.

WoW: Grim Batol – Here you can find the entrance to the dungeon

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Some of the current dungeons in World of Warcraft are causing problems – as players can’t find their way there. We will tell you how to get to Grim Batol and Co.

The first season of World of Warcraft: The War Within has started – at least partially. While the Keystone dungeons are still missing, the mythic dungeons (“M0”) are already available. As has been the case for a while, the season is not only comprised of current dungeons but also half made up of old dungeons. This way, there are always some evergreen dungeons from the past and some from the latest content.

The problem: Many cannot find the entrance to the dungeons anymore, as they never played when that dungeon was still current. We will show you how to find Grim Batol and the other dungeons. Because you can teleport directly from Dornogal to there.

WoW: The War Within – Forces Within

Entrance to Grim Batol and Co

If you have just jumped back into the game with The War Within, you may have missed some changes in World of Warcraft. There has been a new portal room (“The Timeways”) for a while now, which takes you conveniently from the current capital Dornogal to all dungeons that are part of the current season rotation, but actually come from old expansions.

WoW Portal Room Dornogal Dungeons
Here you will find the portal to the Timeways.

To reach the Timeways, you will find a portal directly in Dornogal. The portal is located in a small house at coordinates 52 / 39.

This means that in the portal room of the Timeways, you currently find portals to the following dungeons:

  • Grim Batol (Twilight Highlands)
  • Siege of Boralus (Tiragarde Sound)
  • Necrotic Wake (Bastion)
  • Fog of Tirna Scithe (Ardenweald)
WoW Timeway Portals S1 TWW
The Timeways provide direct portals to all active, old dungeons.

After that, you will end up a few meters away from the dungeon entrance, which is usually clearly marked on the map. In the case of Grim Batol, you simply need to follow the road and can then enter the old dwarf fortress there.

An exotic weapon in Destiny 2 had exactly one job, yet was completely unsuitable for it

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

Destiny 2 has many exotics. Some of them are included in the meta, while others are ignored. However, one particular exotic was created to make the lives of champions more difficult, but it never worked as it should have.

Which weapon is it? The first season in Destiny 2 brought a hand cannon that sold impressively, and that was Eriana’s Vow. This weapon has the Solar element and is powered by special ammo. The weapon feels like a .44 Magnum and has a heavy recoil, but it could also deal damage.

Upon its release, champions also made their way into the universe of the loot shooter – including barrier champions. Eriana’s Vow was supposed to deal with their shields easily, but the weapon couldn’t hold its own. It took several shots to break the shield, while alternatives like the Arbalest only needed one.

With Patch 8.0.5.4, that has changed. Eriana’s Vow is back in its element and better than ever.

Start video
Bungie shows the future of Destiny 2 after The Final Shape in the new trailer

Bungie has finally fixed the weapon

What has been improved? Eriana’s Vow had a problem establishing itself in the meta when it came to breaking shields of champions, even though it was precisely designed for that purpose. The hand cannon simply couldn’t break shields with one shot, while an Arbalest could.

The Reddit user solelychloe demonstrated the weapon’s upgrade in his video:

solelychloe went into a Nightfall and looked for a barrier champion. He shot him with his machine gun until he activated his shield. Now the Guardian pulled out Eriana’s Vow and fired a shot at the shield. The result: The shield was immediately broken, and the champion was incapacitated – just as the weapon was supposed to function at release.

What do fans say about the buff? They are satisfied but also confused. They don’t understand on Reddit how it can be that legendary weapons can break a champion’s shield better and faster than an exotic weapon that was literally created for this job. The following comments can be heard:

  • “As it always should have been. It should never be easier to break a barrier shield with a legendary weapon than with an exotic weapon that was literally made for breaking shields.” – oliferro
  • “Finally! Time to take it out of the vault again.” – def_tom
  • “It only took 40 years.” – DaviAlm45
  • “It took long enough for them to do this. This should have always been a thing, especially since it is a special weapon. I am so glad that this thing is now viable.” – FamGaming17

What do you think of the fix? Do you think it’s good that Eriana’s Vow finally works as it should, or do you prefer using other weapons like the Arbalest or the Wishender?

Diablo 4: The test of the 1st expansion is over, but many players are dissatisfied with what they have already seen

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Blizzard has made the core features of Season 6 available in Diablo 4 on the PTR for a week – which will be released alongside the 1st expansion Vessel of Hatred. After the test, players express criticism, but the negative points are not necessarily a bad sign for Diablo.

What could players test?

  • Blizzard made the PTR for Season 6 available from September 4 to September 11. There, players were able to already test features of Season 6 and Vessel of Hatred.
  • The two pieces of content are closely linked, as Season 6 and the expansion both start on October 8 – and many features will remain in the game permanently.
  • On the PTR, content such as the new runewords, the revised level system, and the new difficulty levels were available for testing. However, the Spiritborn, Nahantu, and the new co-op dungeon for the endgame were not playable.

Here you read all about the contents of Season 6 and here you find all information about Vessel of Hatred.

This is what players are criticizing: During the test, there was some criticism of Season 6. Now, after the test, more and more feedback threads are appearing on Reddit and in the forum. The biggest criticism: Diablo 4 is too exhausting with Season 6.

The new season is said to change the loot system for the worse, as mentioned in a large thread on Reddit:

The current combination of miserable drop rates, the unlikelihood that the item has the correct affixes, the unlikelihood that the item has two or more great affixes, the unlikelihood of getting the correct hardening, all of that is way too much and causes me to lose motivation.

Since Season 4, you can harden and complete items to improve them. The system has caused issues before: Players said that they would effectively destroy really good items (“bricking”). This is frustrating.

With Season 6, worse drop rates are added, particularly for mythical items. Now, you need luck for everything, which goes against the enjoyment of the game. Players believe that here, players who grind all day clash with casual players who just want to play: “That is just the loud minority that wants endless grinds for hundreds of hours.”

We have already talked to the developers about the future of Diablo 4 and how they implement feedback:

Start video
gamescom 2024: Diablo 4 interview with Rod Fergusson and Gavian Wishaw

Season 6 performs poorly, but that means nothing yet

The criticism is also present in a more detailed feedback (via Reddit). The gap between casuals and hardcore gamers is much larger in Season 6. The itemization is terrible. Furthermore, class balance is currently not good, Druids and Barbs urgently need help – although Barbs could already literally deal infinite damage on the PTR.

Additionally, some important features like a loadout system are missing, and the new difficulty levels should be harder. Even experts see it this way. However, there is also positive feedback regarding:

In general, players are happy to be able to test on the PTR and provide feedback. Because that can still “save” Season 6 before release.

Season 5 already had similar criticism during the PTR. Above all, the Hell Hordes were criticized, and it was said: With the feature, Season 5 would be a flop. Now Hell Hordes are the most popular content and almost all criticisms from the PTR have been implemented.

Blizzard has been paying close attention to players’ feedback for several months now, aiming to implement it as timely and satisfactorily as possible. It has generally worked very well. Even during the PTR, there is already information about changes to bugs and content that will not be included in the game in October. This includes an absurd leveling method: “Completely broken” – Pro levels up to new maximum level in 20 minutes, Blizzard reacts

Especially happy people have one thing in common, says IKEA, who want to sell more cabinets

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

The well-known company IKEA conducted a study. It found that people are happier when they tidy up. This leads to a better feeling and well-being.

What kind of study is this? IKEA, in collaboration with the General Council of Psychology and the Psychofoundation, conducted a study on human well-being. This is reported by the site Jeuxvideo.com. The results are regularly shared in the podcast “Hogares con Psicología.”

In the study, it was found that 21% of the surveyed people feel frustrated when they have objects at home without a designated place, although the influence of order varies in strength for each individual.

At the same time, it was discovered that people become happier when they bring order to their homes. Because this also brings their minds into order.

IKEA recently also stated that gamers should definitely not get married:

Order boosts self-esteem, chaos causes stress

Why is order a good thing? Those who tidy up and have a clean, organized environment feel like they have control over their surroundings. This can not only boost self-esteem but also create a more pleasant atmosphere.

The study states that more cleanliness in the house is associated with more well-being and happiness and that this can be achieved by tidying up the kitchen daily, organizing, and making the beds. Psychologist Dr. Danielle Roeske explained that order is directly related to mental health:

If there is order and structure in our outer environment, it can help us feel better able to deal with some of our emotional states and inner worlds.

Disorder can have the opposite effect: A chaotic environment can lead to feelings of overwhelm. Furthermore, another study has shown that individuals living in a chaotic, cluttered environment have higher cortisol levels and therefore experience more stress.

Tidying up helps with happiness. And of course, it helps IKEA if you buy cabinets from the Swedish furniture company for your organizing needs. Because all the stuff that is otherwise scattered chaotically in your living room can just as well be stored in a stylish cabinet.

Gaming studio fires DrDisrespect first – 3 months later probably half the staff

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer DrDisrespect founded the gaming studio Midnight Society in 2021 along with others. They worked on a first-person extraction shooter that was meant to be particularly “vertical”: Deadrop (PC, later: Xbox, PS5). A release is scheduled for 2025, but there are troubles.

How did the separation from DrDisrespect go? The developers said on June 24 on Twitter that they had learned of the accusations against DrDisrespect, initially believing in his innocence but then starting to talk to those involved. In order to adhere to their own standards as people and as a studio, they had to act and distance themselves from DrDisrespect. It was a difficult decision, but it was their duty.

On June 24, DrDisrespect learned while he was live on YouTube that his gaming studio was distancing itself from him and ending the collaboration. For DrDisrespect, this was visibly a shock; he had not expected it. Later, he described it as a goal and dream to develop his own game with a studio. A dream that has now burst.

In the comments, many fans of DrDisrespect criticized the decision and predicted the studio’s downfall. Without DrDisrespect, no one is interested in their game.

I am one of many who were laid off

This is the latest development: Through posts on social media, such as Linkedin, it became clear over the weekend that Midnight Society laid off numerous employees three months after distancing itself from DrDisrespect.

The studio itself confirms “significant layoffs” to PCGamer, but does not specify a number. A content creator who is involved with the game says it is “about half of the workforce.”

Studio blames unexpected challenges for layoffs

This is what the studio says:

Unfortunately, Midnight Society has faced several unexpected challenges in recent months. To adapt to these changes and secure the future of Midnight Society, Deadrop, and our commitment to innovative gaming experiences, we made the difficult decision to streamline our operations, which also entails significant staff reductions. We would not be here without the contributions of those affected, and we thank them for their incredible work, support them, and wish them the best.

The studio reaffirms its intention to release Deadrop in 2025.

Nightmare scenario for game studio

This is what it’s about: When you develop a game around an influencer and have to distance yourself from them, it is one of the most negative scenarios a game developer can find themselves in:

  • On the one hand, DrDisrespect was prominently featured in the game and now has to be removed.
  • On the other hand, the game was only relevant for many because DrDisrespect was promoting it. Some may have only bought it because of him.

Distancing from DrDisrespect also means taking a clear stance in the conflict and therefore probably not gaining any more buyers but only losing former supporters. The game has thus alienated exactly those gamers that it had chosen as its target audience, as can be seen from the comments.

The future of Deadrop has become much more difficult with the scandal surrounding DrDisrespect and the separation from him. This could already be foreseen months ago: A shooter like Escape from Tarkov relied entirely on DrDisrespect for marketing – Explains how it continues after the scandal

Former head of a legendary shooter studio says: Space Marine 2 sells better than Quake, Doom, and Wolfenstein

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

For two developers from Saber Interactive, who were previously employed at another shooter studio, Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 is the game that has sold the fastest in their career.

Who made the statement? Tim Willits was the Studio Director at id Software. He discussed with his colleague, Todd Hollenshead, former CEO of id Software, about the success of their current title. Both were previously employed at id Software, and for several years they have been working as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Publishing for Saber Interactive.

On X, Tim Willits revealed that Space Marine 2 is the fastest-selling game they have worked on in their careers:

How successful is Space Marine 2? The shooter by Saber Interactive is said to be selling better than all the other shooters they previously worked on at id Software. This statement is especially overwhelming because id Software is known for its legendary shooter franchises.

Willits did not provide exact figures. However, based on the player numbers, we can imagine how successful the new title is. After all, around 100,000 players played the shooter on Steam alone.

Although the universe of Warhammer 40k has an extensive lore, this does not deter new players from diving into the shooter. 

In the trailer for Space Marine 2, you will get an impression of what to expect in the game:

Space Marine 2 does not have to hide behind Quake, Doom, and Wolfenstein

What is Space Marine 2? In Space Marine 2, you play as one of the titular Space Marines. These are soldiers in heavy armor, wielding even heavier weapons. It is the sequel to Space Marine and allows players to assume the role of Lieutenant Demetrian Titus.

The game is primarily a shooter, where you must fight against massive insect hordes. You can face the Tyranid swarms either alone or in co-op with up to 3 players. There are several modes, both PvP and PvE.

  • Wolfenstein
  • Doom
  • Quake
  • Rage

id Software continues to work on its popular shooter franchises. A new trailer shows what fans can look forward to in Doom: The Dark Ages.

WoW: In the latest raid there is a hidden toy – Here’s how to get it

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The Palace of Nerub’ar is the latest raid in World of Warcraft. A hidden toy there could soon be in your collection.

In The War Within, the developers of World of Warcraft have hidden one or two secrets again. Especially collectors like to have all kinds of toys in their box. For one of them, you need a special trinket that you can loot in the raid “Palace of Nerub’ar”. Because only with the trinket can you access a special toy.

We are talking about the “Treacherous Transmitter” and the resulting “Infiltrator’s Shroud”.

Start video
WoW Cinematic: Threads of Destiny

What kind of trinket is this? The “Treacherous Transmitter” can be obtained from the boss Nexus Princess Ky’vexa. The trinket grants a large amount of haste when equipped, but it also has a use effect that additionally grants a large amount of primary stat (Intellect, Agility, or Strength) – at least if you can complete the tasks that the trinket demands of you.

WoW Transmitter Trinket Nerubar Palace trans

What can the trinket do? The trinket is one of the slightly more complex trinkets in World of Warcraft. The use effect says:

Receive cryptic instructions from somewhere in the Twisting Nether that reveal your next task. It’s probably nothing special, so complete it to gain 15 seconds of X [Scales with item level] primary stat.

As the text suggests, the trinket presents you with various tasks, which are then rewarded with a massive bonus to your primary stat. One task is triggered per activation. You have 15 seconds for each of these tasks.

  • When 3 crystals appear above your head, you need to jump 3 times.
  • A purple energy orb flies away a few meters from you. Pick it up.
  • An energy field appears a few meters away. Stand on it and remain there for 2 seconds.

The trinket requires movement, and sometimes that can be disadvantageous as you might lose performance and do less damage to the boss. However, the massive bonus to the primary stat should more than compensate for this brief loss if you use the trinket skillfully.

How do you get the toy? Each time the trinket is used, there is a very small chance that not only one of the above effects will be triggered, but additionally an enemy named “Reaper” will appear. The opponent is not particularly difficult, but still counts as an elite opponent – if you’re not careful, he can kill you quite quickly.

This mob has the chance to drop the toy “Infiltrator’s Shroud.” This toy transforms you into an Ethereal for 20 minutes, with a cool Void look.

Note that other players can also attack the mob that appears through the trinket. This way, multiple people can have a chance to receive the toy, and you do not necessarily have to own the trinket yourself.

Have you already received the toy or had an unexpected, spontaneous encounter with the Reaper who suddenly appeared? Let us know in the comments – or what you think of such hidden content. If you’re still unsure about which class you want to play – here is our current tier list for The War Within.

Elden Ring: A lousy talisman suddenly becomes much more powerful after the patch and you should use it

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Patch 1.14 for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has been released and brings many changes. One improvement makes a talisman really interesting.

This is the patch: Patch 1.14 was released on September 10, 2024, and brought some changes. Among other things, the final boss of the DLC has been weakened, bugs have been fixed, PvP balance has been adjusted, and many weapons received tweaks.

This includes the weapons of Elden Ring DLC boss Rellana. The twin blades of Rellana have been improved, which you receive when you defeat her in Castle Ensis and exchange her echo at the finger reader in the table of grace.

These blades now have increased attribute scaling for lower intelligence and faith attributes. However, particularly exciting is another item from Rellana’s collection: her talisman. It pairs well with swords, as well as with other weapons.

Rellana’s cameo is now much stronger in the Elden Ring DLC

This is the talisman: “Rellana’s Cameo” is a talisman from the Elden Ring DLC that you can find inside Castle Ensis. The talisman lies on an altar there.

So far, this talisman improved attacks by 15% when the posture was not changed for a while. With these effects, Rellana’s Cameo was not really the first choice for many players, who preferred to use the Alexander’s Shard. However, both the activation time and the damage boost have now been significantly improved.

This is the improvement: While the patch notes do not clearly state how substantial the improvement is, players have already figured out where the values lie.

Now the talisman boosts attacks not just by 15%, but by a full 45%. Additionally, the activation time has been reduced to one second.

This makes it much more interesting for players. For instance, the talisman works well with one of the best weapons in the game, the Moonveil katana. It is also suitable for Rellana’s twin blades, as well as for several other weapons.

FC 25: 10 strong dribblers that give you an advantage in Ultimate Team

Thomas Dummer Thomas Dummer Reading time 2 minutes

We show you the players with the best dribbling in FC 25. With these 10 cards, you will be hard to separate from the ball in Ultimate Team.

Update from 12.09.24: We have revised the list of the best dribblers.

What does dribbling mean in EA FC? Dribbling determines how well your player can handle the ball.

Players with high dribbling stats can:

  • process received passes better and faster
  • keep the ball closer to their feet
  • perform faster directional changes with the ball

Players with strong dribbling can usually perform the best special moves and are therefore expensive assets on the Ultimate Team transfer market.

What does our list of the best dribblers show? Here you can see the players with the best dribbling ratings, sorted in descending order. Additionally, we show you which skill moves (special moves) the players can perform in FC 25.

The availability of skill moves in EA FC is expressed in stars (1 to 5), where a player with only one star can hardly perform any tricks, and a player with a full 5 stars can perform all special moves.

Player (Rating)Dribbling Value Skill MovesClubPosition
Bernardo Silva (88)924Manchester CityCM

Icons and Heroes in FC 25 were not considered.

What advantages do strong dribblers bring to Ultimate Team? Players with high dribbling ratings can help you overcome deep-lying defenses. With quick directional changes or surprising special moves, they are capable of opening gaps in the opponent’s defense line.

Moreover, their close ball control allows them to free you from dangerous pressing situations from your opponent. Therefore, they are also very important for effective gameplay.

The adventure incense can bring you encounters with monsters in Pokémon GO every day. With a simple trick, you can even increase the number of encounters.

What is adventure incense? Adventure incense is a free incense available to you. You can use it once every day to attract Pokémon for 15 minutes while you are moving.

Adventure incense is also currently the only way to obtain the coveted Galar birds in Pokémon GO.

Even on pokemongolive.com you can find the following tip regarding routes:

More Pokémon are attracted by incense when you explore a route for the first time.

Can more Galar birds be attracted this way? It is not known whether this trick can attract more Galar birds. To this day, there are several speculations about the spawns of the Galar birds. Some trainers suspect, for example, that there are fixed spawn points for the birds.

At least, you increase the number of spawns with this trick, and thus the chance that a Galar bird appears might also rise. After all, there have already been lucky trainers who encountered 2 Galar birds in an adventure incense.

The biggest secret in Star Wars was revealed to the actors only at the premiere – Only one knew about it

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

A famous quote from Star Wars was subject to strict secrecy during filming. Only the lead actor was aware, which led to a big surprise at the premiere of the film.

Star Wars has produced some lines that have burned into the collective memory of fans.

“I have a bad feeling,” “May the Force be with you,” or the grammatical twists of Master Yoda – to name just a few examples. At least one quote is likely to have reached even those who normally have nothing to do with Star Wars.

We are, of course, talking about “I am your father.” Anyone who has never heard of it and doesn’t know the context within the films (and does not wish to know) should stop reading at this point. All others will learn about the story behind this line, which caused quite an effort during filming.

One of the most interesting characters from the expanded universe of Star Wars has, by the way, never made it into the films.

Start video
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back – Original Trailer (German)

A well-kept secret

What is the story? Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy, that is, Episodes 4–6, talked about the filming in the Graham Norton Show. Even during the first Star Wars, there were hardly any guidelines regarding secrecy. Hamill himself let friends read the script and didn’t think much of it, except that he found some lines in it simply terrible.

By Part 2, that is Episode 5, things were different. The line “I am your father” was top secret and did not appear in the script. On set, the actor portraying Darth Vader instead spoke the line: “You don’t know the truth. Obi-Wan killed your father.”

David Prowse, who physically represented Vader, knew nothing of the true content of the scene. Neither did the rest of the cast. Only Mark Hamill was taken aside by the director and informed about the twist.

The actor was shocked by this development of his character and simultaneously had to commit to keeping it a secret for the remaining year and a half until the premiere. When it finally happened, Harrison Ford, who played Han Solo, allegedly leaned over to Hamill during the screening and said, “You knew about this?”

In the One Piece manga, one of Luffy’s most loyal allies faces a loyalty test, risking his life

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

In the new chapter of the manga of One Piece, a member of Ruffy’s crew must undergo a test. He is assessed by Ruffy’s mentor to see if he truly remains loyal to the Straw Hat.

Attention, Spoiler: In the following article, there are some spoilers regarding chapter 1126 of the manga.

What kind of test is it? Thanks to the leaks about the upcoming chapter on Reddit, we already know what will happen in part 1126 of the manga. There will be a clash between Shanks’ Red-Haired Pirates and the Barto Club, led by Bartolomeo.

Shanks’ crew maintains the upper hand and defeats Bartolomeo’s crew. However, Shanks has devised a rather insidious plan for the pirates: He gives them a poison that they are to deliver to Ruffy. Ruffy is supposed to drink the poison within a month.

But instead of delivering the poison to Ruffy, Bartolomeo drinks it himself. He risks his life to protect Ruffy’s. In the same chapter, we will find out if Bartolomeo passes the test.

The adventures of One Piece will soon be released as a remake:

Start video
The One Piece – Interview with the Remake Team

Bartolomeo is not just a fan, but also a loyal ally

How does the test turn out? After Bartolomeo drinks the poison, it turns out that it has no effect at all. Rather, it was a test from Shanks, who simply wanted to show how far the members of the Grand Fleet would go for Ruffy.

This shows that not only Bartolomeo would do anything for Ruffy. Shanks’ connection to Ruffy is also evident here. The two have known each other since Ruffy’s early childhood, and even though they haven’t seen each other in a long time, Shanks still cares about Ruffy’s well-being.

And that is not a matter of course: Both captains belong to the pirate emperors and have a chance to find the One Piece as the first crew. Therefore, Ruffy and Shanks are actually in competition with each other.

Who is Bartolomeo? Bartolomeo is part of Ruffy’s Grand Fleet. The fleet is supposed to support the Straw Hat when he is in trouble. In addition to Bartolomeo, there are other characters from the Dressrosa Arc who are part of the fleet. 

Bartolomeo himself is a gigantic fan of the Straw Hat Pirates. He has long admired them. He was also present when Buggy tried to behead Ruffy. Therefore, he could already appear as an Easter egg in the 2nd season of the Netflix series of One Piece: A pirate from One Piece, who you actually see only 586 episodes later in the anime, is already visible in season 2 on Netflix

WoW: Ironically, the best solo content is currently impossible to complete solo

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The depths of World of Warcraft: The War Within are currently massively bugged. Because those who go in solo hardly have a chance to succeed.

The depths in the new expansion of World of Warcraft should be the perfect content for solo players, which can also be tackled with a group. But currently, there are massive incentives in The War Within to overcome the depths solely with a group.

The scaling, which is supposed to create a good gaming experience for every group size, is faulty. Solo heroes have hardly any chance to successfully complete a depth.

Start video
WoW: The War Within – Forces Within

What is the problem? There currently seems to be a bug with the scaling of the depths. Because while many players have found that the depths from level 4 and up are extremely difficult to complete alone, this is not the case for group visits.

That the scaling is not working correctly can also be easily verified in some depths:

  • Entering a solo depth at level 8, “normal” enemies already have a proud 12 million health points.
  • Entering a depth of level 8 with a group of 2 players, the same mobs have only 8 million health points.

So there seems to be a “minus scaling.” Because actually, the enemies should gain more health points as the group size increases. Currently, the opposite is true, so enemies during solo visits have a staggering 50% more health points – while one has to take them down alone.

These scaling issues seem to vary depending on class and depth, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact error. However, it is clear that the scaling of the depths is not functioning as Blizzard intended.

More on the topic
WoW: The War Within starts Season 1 – From now on, the depths are really hard
von Cortyn

Different classes in WoW experience the depths differently

So the community discusses: Many report, for example, in the official WoW forum, that they have no chance in solo visits in the depths at higher levels and that even depths from level 4 and up are not fun at all.

Even simple trash mobs (at level 8+) would dismantle many characters in a few seconds and often only with 2 to 3 attacks. Even tanks take so much damage that essentially all major cooldowns have to be used in any group just to survive – against the bosses, one is often hopelessly outmatched.

However, there are also many comments that apparently do not recognize the bug and demand that “the depths should not be nerfed” – in the WoW subreddit such a post has risen to the top. It is argued there that the difficulty of the depths is perfectly fine and that one should not listen to those who are complaining.

The fact that this perception varies so greatly is likely due to the different classes currently experiencing various scalings and difficulties, and it is therefore easy for some to say: You just aren’t playing well enough. That some classes can literally be killed by creatures with unavoidable “one hits” is something they have probably hardly experienced themselves.

It is to be expected that Blizzard will fix this bug within the next few days, as it ultimately defeats the purpose of the depths. After all, the depths are supposed to offer solo heroes a way to obtain good gear. Currently, it doesn’t help much that leveling Brann Bronzebeard has become significantly harder.

What experiences have you had with the depths so far? Did you complete them as a group or solo? Which class did you play and how was your experience with the depths at level 8 and higher? A piece of cake or an insurmountable wall? Share it in the comments!

The name of the latest Dragon Ball movie is only so strange because the creator forgot what his own anime is called

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

The latest cinema movie of Dragon Ball is called Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. The creator of the manga, Akira Toriyama, revealed before his death where the cumbersome name comes from.

Why is the movie titled so oddly? When pronouncing and reading the title, it is noticeable that the word “Super” appears directly twice in a row. In the weeks leading up to the Japanese theatrical release, the series creator revealed some details about the story, the characters, and also the cumbersome title.

The reason for the tongue twister is once again his memory:

By the way, the subtitle is “Super Hero”. I completely forgot that the main title of the movie is “Dragon Ball Super”. That’s why there are two “Super” in the title. I think everyone thought I did that intentionally because no one pointed it out to me. So it is my fault that the “Super” repeats.

Akira Toriyama, via Herms98 on X

So Toriyama simply forgot that the name of the anime was indeed included in the title. When the mangaka noticed the mistake, it was probably too late to change the title again.

You can watch the trailer for the current Dragon Ball movie here:

Start video
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero – The Official Trailer for the Movie

The creator of Dragon Ball was a forgetful man

Is Toriyama really that forgetful? Throughout his career, Toriyama has lost track of numerous details regarding the Dragon Ball manga. With almost 40 years encompassing his career with Dragon Ball, it is understandable that some things can sometimes be forgotten. The creator of Dragon Ball passed away in March 2024.

For example, Toriyama has forgotten several characters over time. Lunch eventually stopped appearing, which is why Toriyama wrote her an ending of her own. The author even forgot an entire species. At some point, the beast-people disappeared, even though they were a fixed part of the world.
