The actor of Jon from Game of Thrones does not believe that he will ever watch House of the Dragon

House of the Dragon: The 10 Most Powerful Houses in the Power Ranking

von Linda Baumgartl

Daemon’s visions and their significance for the future

Throughout the entire season, Daemon has been plagued by nightmares. His story blurs the line between reality and vision, as seen in the last episode. He sees a Green Man. The Order of the Green Men watches over the place where Daemon’s death was predicted.

In the scenes with Daemon, a connection is made to Game of Thrones. He sees his descendant. He no longer just sees the events that are currently unfolding but also those that will happen in the future. However, Marco points out that these are merely Daemon’s interpretations.

At the end of his video, Marco refocuses on Rhaenyra and Alicent Targaryen. Both meet again, this time in reversed roles. The war that is coming is unstoppable – unless Alicent betrays her sons.

At the end, Marco describes the final montage. It shows everything that was also loved about Game of Thrones: power plays, mysteries, and the houses. Season 2 ends with episode 8. Those who missed the final analysis should check it out here: The Dragon Seeds explained: Season 2, Episode 7 of House of the Dragon

Pokémon GO: Spotlight Hour today brings Magnemite and an XP bonus

Paul Kutzner 27. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, the next Spotlight Hour is waiting for you. With it comes Magnemite and an XP bonus.

What kind of event is this? The Spotlight Hour is an event that occurs every week. There, a Pokémon will appear in very high numbers for 60 minutes.

Additionally, there is a bonus that is active during the event.

During the next Spotlight Hour, Magnemite will be waiting for you. The Pokémon from the 1st generation has the types Electric and Steel. It can evolve into Magneton and then into Magnezone.

Spotlight Hour on August 27 – Start and Bonuses

When does the Spotlight Hour start? As usual, the Spotlight Hour starts at 6:00 PM. 60 minutes later, at 7:00 PM, it will end again.

What bonuses are active? During the next Spotlight Hour, there will be an experience points bonus waiting for you. If you evolve the event Pokémon, you will receive double the amount of experience points.

Can you catch a Shiny Magnemite? Yes, you can encounter the Shiny variant of Magnemite as well. The chance is not increased, but due to the high number of Magnemite spawns, you will have several opportunities.

Is the Spotlight Hour worth it? If you evolve Magnemite into its final form, Magnezone, you will get a strong Electric attacker for raids. Both the regular and the Shadow variant of the Pokémon are on the list of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.

In the Battle League, however, Magnemite and its evolutions may perform less well. For that, you should rather rely on other monsters.

If you have collected many Pokémon that you want to evolve, you can make optimal use of the event to earn some extra experience points during the evolutions. By using Lucky Eggs, you can further increase the experience points.

The head of Pokémon personally presents 6 trailers at the world championship – all new information at a glance

Linda Baumgartl 27. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

From August 16 to 18, the Pokémon World Championships 2024 took place in Honolulu, Hawaii. The grand finale of the event was the closing ceremony, where the head of Pokémon personally revealed many news. We summarize all the new information for you.

What were the announcements? The main hall of the Hawai’i Convention Centers was packed. Anyone who attended the World Championships that weekend wanted to witness the conclusion of the three-day event.

For this occasion, Tsunekazu Ishihara himself, the president and CEO of The Pokémon Company, was on site.

On the suitably themed stage – complete with palm trees and a waterfall – he presented 6 new trailers.

Spider-Man almost didn’t exist – Stan Lee tells what saved him

Max Handwerk 27. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

A world without Spider-Man is almost unimaginable today. But almost, the superhero didn’t exist.

Nowadays, Spider-Man is indispensable in the comic world, but also in the movie and gaming world. Peter Parker’s alter ego is perhaps the most popular Marvel hero of all time.

But while the teenager with the spider powers is probably known to everyone today, the first idea of the superhero was not well-received at all.

Stan Lee often told this during his lifetime in various interviews. One such example can be seen here, from a keynote at the University of California (via YouTube).

Stan Lee invented Spider-Man, and the boss didn’t like him at all

This is how Spider-Man was created: As Stan Lee recounted, his publisher told him to come up with a new superhero. The main thing was the superpower – and when the comic artist saw a fly stuck to the wall, he thought: That could work.

Now he needed a name and after Fly-Man and Mosquito-Man, he landed on ‘Spider-Man’. Then he took an unusual route: Not only was his hero Peter Parker a teenager, which was very unusual at the time. He also had a whole series of everyday problems, like homework, trouble at school with classmates, financial difficulties, and, of course, the death of Uncle Ben and the situation at home.

This was to make Spider-Man a relatable hero, someone people could identify with. And with that, Stan Lee went to his boss.

This was the reaction: Stan Lee’s boss called the hero the “worst idea he had ever heard of.” Furthermore, people would hate spiders, which is why the name was not a good idea, and teenagers in the superhero world were at most sidekicks.

And regarding the personal Parker problems, the boss supposedly said, according to Stan Lee: “Stan, do you know what a superhero is?”

Accordingly, the idea was off the table for the time being.

So something finally came of Spider-Man

Stan Lee simply couldn’t let the idea die. Therefore, he included it in the last issue of “Amazing Fantasy” – a magazine that wasn’t selling and was set to die. Because there, as Lee said, no one cared what was inside.

Thus, Stan Lee wrote the first Spider-Man story – the one with the spider bite, the wrestling match, the unpaid wages, and the gangster who was supposed to kill Uncle Ben – for Amazing Fantasy 15, and Spidey was also featured on the now legendary cover.

Because: The issue sold incredibly well. Stan Lee had basically forgotten the magazine, but the publisher who initially rejected Spider-Man came into his office and said, “Stan! Do you remember the character we thought was great? Spider-Man? We need to make a series out of this.”

Thus, Spider-Man got his own magazine – and would over the years become a success story. Stan Lee created many other iconic characters during his lifetime that are now deeply embedded in pop culture. However, there were also a few characters that you might not be so aware of. One such example is the Impossible Man – read about it here.

WoW: The War Within is live for all who didn’t want to spend too much money

Cortyn 27. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The official release of World of Warcraft: The War Within is behind us. The 10th expansion is finally live.

The long wait is finally over for everyone, as the 10th expansion of World of Warcraft is officially live now. “The War Within” is now accessible to all who purchased the Base or Heroic Edition of the new add-on.

Since midnight, these players have been storming into Khaz Algar, questing on the island of Thorn, or uncovering the secrets of Healing Falls.

Just a few days earlier, the unofficial release took place, which was quite controversial within the community.

Start video

WoW: The War Within – Forces Within

Autoplay

What’s in the new add-on? In terms of content, the new expansion appears quite traditional and provides what one would expect from a WoW add-on:

4 new large areas
10 new levels
Hero talents as a new feature
War Crew makes many things account-wide

Additionally, there are well-known contents like new dungeons, raids, reputation factions, and of course a lot of collectible toys, mounts, and battle pets.

This was the controversy: That Blizzard provides the launch of a World of Warcraft expansion with early access for anyone who pays an additional €40 and buys the Epic Edition had already sparked significant discussion beforehand. The player base was divided into those who saw this as a nice bonus for the Epic Edition and those who perceived an unfair advantage regarding farmable resources.

Whether the impact on the economy is as significant as some feared will likely be revealed in the coming days, but even now the market seems quite saturated with the new resources.

What changes now? With the official launch, players from the early access can also look forward to it, as heroic dungeons are now available and thus offer a bit more challenge. Here, the bosses already have some new abilities, and the enemies can withstand significantly more than before.
However, before it comes to the “real” endgame with Mythic+, raids, and challenging depths, a few weeks will still pass. The first season of The War Within will only start with the maintenance work on September 11, 2024 – so in 14 days.

Conflict over Black Myth: Wukong escalates – Asmongold exposes freelance employee from IGN

Schuhmann 26. August 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

The conflict over Black Myth: Wukong continues to escalate. Now, the Twitch streamer Asmongold has targeted a freelancer from the gaming magazine IGN who was involved in a critical article on Game Science in November 2023. A tweet with 79 views has a video with 860,000 views in response. This is poisoning the atmosphere and making controversial discussions impossible, believes MeinMMO author Schuhmann.

This is the core conflict:

On November 20, 2023, a critical article appeared on IGN about the studio Game Science, which has now created a big hit on Steam with Black Myth: Wukong. The article was written by a senior reporter from IGN, Rebekah Valentine, and Kee Hoon Chan, a freelancer and translator.
The authors of the article were accused of maliciously mistranslating a statement from the head of Game Science to make him look like a weird pervert.
For months, this article has been described as a “hit piece” by Twitch streamer Asmongold, repeatedly criticizing the authors of the article, the US edition of IGN, and gaming journalism in general.

Start video

Autoplay

Black Myth: Wukong becomes a political issue

This is the new level of escalation: The conflict has flared up again in recent weeks because Black Myth: Wukong is such a big success on Steam – especially among Chinese players.

The controversial and currently influential game developer Mark Kern argues that the success of Black Myth: Wukong proves that “western gaming studios” hate their audience, while Asian developers love it. This resonates with a culture war in the USA that is directed against “allegedly woke” companies that pay too much attention to “DEI,” meaning diversity and equality.

Translator of the critical IGN article speaks out in tiny tweet

Note: The translator uses the pronouns they/them.

In the course of this conflict, the author of the article spoke out in a forum and came under fire again. Their translator has now expressed support on X and wrote in a post:

Do not play Black Myth: Wukong. If you must, then pirate it. If you like it, I don’t want to know. Fuck Game Science and all the assholes doing this to one of my favorite people in the gaming industry.

The post was shared by an online magazine and had a total of 79 views at that time.

Editor’s note: The translator’s X account has since been set to private.

Asmongold exposes translator in video with 868,078 views

The streamer Asmongold addressed this tweet in a video “IGN Finally Goes Mask off” on the evening of August 25. The video reached 868,078 views after just 10 hours (via YouTube).

Here, Asmongold also showed a post by the translator from January 21, in which he says that white gamers, when they get angry, just shout loudly, and then the world gives in to them. He hates white people so much because of their privilege. He clarifies that this is not directed at individuals but against “white privilege”.

In the video, Asmongold effectively puts the translator in the crosshairs and says:

I don’t think you should harass him. Obviously, harassment is bad. But publicly disagreeing with someone, publicly calling him out on the internet – that’s absolutely and damn okay. That’s called public discourse, and if you have a problem with that, delete your account.

Asmongold irresponsibly wields his reach

This is the bottom line: That Asmongold targets a journalist with such tiny public reach and publicly shames him is like an elephant stepping on a peanut.

The problematic aspect here is the generalizing portrayal in the title:

A critical gaming review by a film site on Black Myth: Wukong becomes “You don’t hate gaming journalists enough.”
A tweet from a freelancer becomes “IGN takes the mask off.”

This tendency of such large influencers like Asmongold to use their reach like a cannon aimed at people who hold different, even provocative opinions leads to an atmosphere where no controversial discussion is possible out of fear of being targeted by influencers who use their reach so irresponsibly.

While he may say, “Harassment is not okay” – with such a large reach and his audience, Asmongold knows exactly what kind of flood of toxic comments such videos will provoke. The translator’s Twitter account is now protected.

A game like Black Myth: Wukong gets pushed to the background in such a discussion and serves only as a vehicle to conduct a completely different discussion that guarantees enormous reach and thus also financial profit, especially in the politically charged USA: The success of Black Myth: Wukong on Steam is celebrated by the wrong people

The new shooter Concord from Sony flops brutally at launch on Steam

Schuhmann 26. August 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

With only 660 concurrent players on Steam, the hero shooter Concord is a flop for Sony. But even worse than the low player numbers is the ridicule the project is facing. In particular, the characters are described as ugly – with Overwatch 2 and Valorant, the €40 title also faces strong free-to-play competition. The flop could jeopardize Sony’s big MMO plans that aimed to build on the success of Destiny.

What kind of game is this?

Concord is a hero shooter that was released for PS5 and on Steam on August 23. It currently costs €40 and has received quite decent reviews with 72% positive ratings on Steam. However, with only 2.87 out of 5 stars, the shooter performs rather poorly in the PS5 store.
The shooter was harshly criticized for the design of the characters back in June.
On Steam, Concord is now a total flop, peaking at just 660 players. In the last 24 hours, there were at most 395 players online. For a “AAA game,” this is a catastrophe.

Start video

Autoplay

The origins of Concord lie in a bad year for Destiny

Where does the game come from? The origins of the game lie with Destiny – in 2016, there apparently was trouble behind the scenes because the planned Destiny 2 for 2016 had to be postponed.

It’s not known for sure, but probably this is why longtime Bungie head Harold Ryan had to leave. The now also highly controversial Pete Parsons took over.

Ryan, along with some Bungie employees, founded a new company called “Probably Monsters” and wanted to establish independent teams to create MMO games. One of the studios, Firewalk, was sold to Sony in April 2023 – and they brought Concord to market, which they have been working on since 2018.

Concord was supposed to be a forerunner of Sony’s new strategy

This was Sony’s plan: Sony’s plan was to develop 10 new “live-service games” by March 2026 with exactly such teams and acquisitions, which were set to be released for PS5 and PC. Concord was to become one of 10 “original AAA multiplayer games.”

To realize this plan and ensure more expertise in live-service games, Sony also acquired Bungie. But the plan to release 10 new live-service games now seems to be facing a setback.

https://twitter.com/omegavalwin/status/1827182860144415054

“Ugliest characters of all time”

What is the reaction now? On social media, the characters are repeatedly mentioned as a point of criticism, apparently seen as “unattractive.”

Concord is seen by Twitch streamers as Sony’s “100 million $ flop.” Streamers like Asmongold publicly mock the flop.

Asmongold mocks a tweet from a disappointed developer with low reach. His video on the subject has 770,000 views:

The “Battleborn/Evolve” effect

What’s behind this: Apart from the character design, the “Battleborn/Evolve” phenomenon strikes Concord. A game that clearly looks like a free-to-play game and competes against free-to-play rivals is sold for €40, and hardly anyone sees the point in paying for such a game when established games like Overwatch 2 or Valorant can be played for free.

Battleborn (2016) and Evolve (2015) are considered the biggest flops in modern gaming, with many units produced that ended up as shelf warmers.

Just as Concord suffers under Overwatch 2 now, the hero shooter Battleborn faced doom from Overwatch 1 eight years ago. Hero shooters must have been the genre that caused the costliest flops in gaming in recent years: Amazon had a huge shooter flop in 2020 – a former developer now says: “That was obvious.”

I am obsessed with a game on Steam, I have spent 1,360 hours in it – Now the series gets the best new feature in 20 years

Schuhmann 26. August 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

Crusader Kings 3 is one of the best strategy games on Steam, says MeinMMO author Schuhmann. He has already spent 1,368 hours with the game, and soon it will be quite a few more. Because the game is getting a new exciting feature – perhaps the best in 20 years.

What is this new feature? The Crusader Kings strategy series has existed since 2004. As a player, you control the fate of a dynasty in the Middle Ages. What is sometimes mocked as an incest simulator, has been an excellent story generator for fans of strategy games and history for 20 years.

Until now, your fate was always directly tied to the land you ruled.

As a minimum requirement to be a playable character in Crusader Kings 3, you had to own at least one county. You could rise from your small county, such as in Ireland, to duke, king, or even emperor. But you always needed the land.

Now this is changing for the first time in the history of the series: With the DLC “Road to Power” on September 24, landless adventurers will appear in Crusader Kings. This opens up new possibilities.

Start video

Crusader Kings 3: Trailer

Autoplay

You will soon be able to play Crusader Kings 3 as a mercenary leader or explorer

This is how extensive the new feature will be: After two blog posts, it can already be said that the “landless adventurers” will probably become one of the most significant features in the history of Crusader Kings – representing the biggest change in many years.

It is a sophisticated system where players lead a landless hero who gathers men around him and can pursue various careers:

He can act as a mercenary leader
or become an explorer and travel the world
he can prove himself as a scholar
he can be a wanderer and forge his own path
he will become a bandit and robber
he works as a legitimist and represents the kings and their interests

He will have to distribute a variety of roles in camp and can set goals for himself, whether he wants to travel the world, accumulate wealth, or rise to become a king himself.

Paradox promises that all of this will be worth it and will give you a starting advantage for your own country.

As an adventurer, it is possible to acquire land and then continue playing as a settled lord.
However, if your hero dies, you can continue playing as a landless descendant and become an adventurer to create your own gameplay experience.

Crusader Kings 3 is facing a great year

That’s why I’m looking forward to the DLC: Crusader Kings 3 is my clear favorite game on Steam. The new idea turns it even more into a role-playing game and gives the game even more freedom – adding further significance to the new option of traveling freely on the map.

After a rather weak year with Legends, the plague, and a rather mediocre Iran DLC, 2024 looks set to be one of the biggest years for the franchise ever. The idea of playing a strategy game without land, I have only seen in some parts of “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” – it’s truly a great idea for a great game and transforms Crusader Kings 3 even more into a sandbox and a role-playing game.

Many others are especially looking forward to the Byzantine DLC in “Road to Power”; traditionally, the Eastern Roman Empire is one of the most popular scenarios. This is not so much my thing – but the “landless adventurers” sound like a fantastic power fantasy.

Landless heroes like El Cid, Robin Hood, Rollo, or William Wallace are conceivable

I am sure the landless adventurers will bring new exciting scenarios, as you can follow in the footsteps of famous, landless heroes from history, who have only been hard to reflect in Crusader Kings, such as Rollo d’Normandie from the series “Vikings” (featured image), who has only appeared as a supporting character in CK3 so far, or the Spanish national hero El Cid. Maybe Crusader Kings 3 will also give us an Easter egg like Robin Hood or William Wallace from Braveheart.

What else can you look forward to? After “Road to Power” on September 24, Crusader Kings will receive one last DLC for 2024: “Wandering Nobles” – this will likely further develop the adventurous aspect of the game presented here.

What does all of this cost? The base game currently costs €50.

The DLC for Chapter 3, which includes a total of 4 DLCs, including Roads to Power, costs an additional €44.

A complete package with 11 items hits with €143 on Steam pretty hard.

If you want to read about my adventures in Crusader Kings 3 during a playthrough where I may have gone a bit overboard, I recommend this article: Steam:I started as a lonely Viking – 400 years later, I have half of Europe, 12,300 descendants, and a problem

Black Myth Wukong: Red, Black, Green-Blue and Yellow Loong find – Here hide the bosses

Christos Tsogos 26. August 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

In Black Myth Wukong, there are various hidden bosses that you can find, and four of them belong to the Loong family of dragons. We will show you how to find these tough opponents.

Who are the Loongs? They are the ancient Chinese dragons. In Black Myth Wukong, you will encounter them, but they will not be friendly. They hide in various chapters but can be challenged.

However, do not think that the Loongs are easy prey. They all differ in their fighting style and appearance and can give you a hard time. Note that they are only optional bosses and are not necessary for completing the game. However, if you are looking for a challenge, you should fight them. We will show you how to find them.

Location of the Loong Scales

How do I find the Loongs? To find the Loongs, you need the important item “Loong Scale” which you can find in the second chapter. Travel to the altar “Despair Valley” and head towards the arena where you fight the First Prince of the Flowing Sands.

Once he is defeated, you will see a wall with a mural full of little carved Buddhas on a rock wall in the arena. Now use your spirit “Wandering Shadow” on it to create a crack in the wall. Enter the crack.

You will see a golden chest and a mural. Open the chest, and the scales will belong to you. With these scales, you can now enter secret locations of the Loong where these dragons hide. We will now show you where you can find the Loongs chronologically.

Location: Red Loong

Where can I find the Red Loong? The Red Loong hides in Chapter 1 in the Black Wind Mountain. Travel to the altar “Outside the Forest” in the Wolf Forest. Now walk into the forest and always keep left until you see a river and a waterfall that has two Buddha statues nearby.

Interact with the waterfall so that it disappears. Once the waterfall is gone, you can slip into a gap to reach the “Loong Claw Grove” where the Red Loong awaits you.

Location: Black Loong

Where can I find the Black Loong? The Black Loong hides in Chapter 2 in the Yellow Wind Ridge. Travel to the altar “Stone Rest Plain” at the Terror Cliff. Once there, you need to keep right until you find a staircase leading up – you can’t miss it from the altar.

You will now see a sand fall that you can interact with. The sand fall will disappear, and you will be able to open a huge gate.

Once you have opened the gate, you will be taken to the location “Cave of the Hidden Loong”. Here the Black Loong resides, waiting to be defeated by you.

Location: Cyan Loong

Where can I find the Cyan Loong? The Cyan Loong hides in Chapter 3 in the New West. Travel to the altar “Turtle Island” at the Bitter Lake. Once you arrive, turn right and walk straight until you reach the cliff and then jump down towards a statue.

Fraudsters stole 5,000 euros from a person because he disabled an important setting on his phone

Benedikt Schlotmann 26. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

A user has his mobile phone repaired while on vacation. However, the employees of the repair shop exploit a mistake he made and steal several thousand euros.

A user didn’t want to do without his mobile phone while on vacation, so he went to a repair shop to have his device repaired in a store in Tenerife.

However, the employees of the repair shop took advantage of a mistake made by the customer: he had not locked his mobile phone. For this reason, the employees of the shop then had access to the owner’s apps and important data.

In the workshop, they accessed his online banking and transferred 5,000 euros to a foreign account. The victim reported it to the Guardia Civil, a Spanish police unit, and according to colleagues from Applesfera.com, it was easy to find the fraudsters.

What happens next? The Guardia Civil arrested two people: one of them was the employee of the establishment, and the other was the person who received the transfer of 5,000 euros. Both are already in custody of the investigating court of the city of Arona.

The investigations are still ongoing, and not all details have been disclosed for the protection of both the victim and the perpetrators. What is known is that one person gave their mobile phone for repair in a workshop and later discovered that 5,000 euros were missing from their account.

Never share passwords or unlock codes

How to prevent a similar scam: With a few simple tricks, you can prevent employees from emptying your bank account during repair.

Never share your password for your Apple ID or the unlock code for your mobile phone or iPhone.
If you have your mobile phone repaired by a shop and the employee needs access, they should always do it together with you.
It is normal to disable Find My iPhone. This is necessary to perform the Apple diagnosis and exchange parts.
Check the reviews of the shop and don’t just look at the prices. A shop that has thousands of good reviews will not want to ruin its reputation with a scam.
If you want to be completely sure, log out of all important apps, such as banking or insurance apps, to protect important data or prevent accesses.

New trailer for Black Ops 6 shows you the highlights from the multiplayer: 16 new maps and the Omni-Movement

Christos Tsogos 26. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, players will primarily gather in the new multiplayer mode, and the new trailer from Activision already shows you what you can look forward to. We will show you the details.

What was that for a trailer? The developers of Black Ops 6 uploaded a trailer on YouTube on August 26, 2024, at 4 PM German time. This trailer was the reveal trailer in which Activision unveiled new insights into the multiplayer of Black Ops 6.

The focus was mainly on short clips from the battlefield as well as the new features that players can look forward to at release.

You can find the trailer here, with everything you can expect from the multiplayer of Black Ops 6:

Start video

16 new maps, gunsmith, old prestige system, and more

What was shown in the trailer? The trailer features action-packed combat scenes, highlighting especially the new Omni-Movement. Players can dodge in all directions and even avoid thrown projectiles like tomahawks.

In addition to the movement, there will once again be a gunsmith that allows you to customize your weapons and attach various accessories. From drum magazines, grips to gas grenade launchers, everything is possible to prepare you for battle.

But you no longer have to wander defenselessly in open terrain. You can now grab enemies from behind and use them as human shields. This way, you are protected and can fire from cover while remaining mobile.

For the long-term players among you, there is also good news: the prestige system returns to its roots and allows you to grind up to prestige master again. What rewards you will receive then is not known, but you will likely have to grind ranks of weapons again to unlock them.

Twitch streamer AnniTheDuck is heavily criticized for an interview: “She plays the sweet innocence card”

Schuhmann 26. August 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

The influencer and Twitch streamer AnniTheDuck has given an interview on YouTube. It has been sharply criticized: The interviewer has been accused of being too gentle with the controversial streamer. AnniTheDuck is criticized for altering her voice to sound sweet and innocent, even though she herself says she often comes across as disdainful and brusque.

What is the dispute about?

The streamer and cosplayer AnniTheDuck was accused in May 2024 by her former partner Reved and her long-time friend Mowky, that her online personality is completely different from her real personality.

While AnniTheDuck publicly advocates for issues like depression, in real life, she is said to be calculating and emotionally cold.

She was accused of launching a smear campaign against streamer Mowky. Streamer Reved stated that she has suffered from physical ailments due to post-traumatic stress since her relationship with AnniTheDuck.

AnniTheDuck lost all advertising partners in the subsequent shitstorm and fell into financial difficulties. In recent weeks, she seems to be trying to restore her reputation – but that is facing opposition.

Start video

Reved explains on Twitch how much she suffered in the relationship with Anni The Duck

Autoplay

AnniTheDuck believes she is often misunderstood and comes across as “mean”

That was her new interview: In a YouTube format of a controversial opinion blogger from August 23rd, AnniTheDuck addressed the allegations again in a 68-minute video.

In many cases, she felt misunderstood and couldn’t quite explain why many have a problem with her.

She explained that she often sounds disdainful without meaning to sound that way. As an example of this “wrong tone” she often hits, she describes recently asking a friend: “Really?” when he told her that passion fruits were his favorite fruits.

From Anni’s perspective, that was just an honest inquiry. However, her friend perceived it as “derogatory.”

She has since done some research and it could be that she lies on the autistic spectrum.

Anni thanks for “surprisingly nice interview”, but this is precisely what is criticized

At the end of the video, she thanked the interviewer for asking hardly any critical questions:

It was surprisingly much nicer to talk with you than I thought. I really thought you were a jerk.

Evidence allegedly exists with the interviewer – but he cannot show it

That was the criticism of the interview: Following the interview, this very friendliness of the interview was criticized.

Additionally, viewers who view AnniTheDuck critically did not appreciate that the interviewer said he had statements and “evidence” that supported Anni’s perspective. However, this evidence was not shown to the viewers. The interviewer later stated that he had signed a confidentiality clause because Anni wanted to protect other individuals.

The YouTuber Sashka criticizes both AnniTheDuck and her interlocutor in her YouTube video from August 25th. She says that AnniTheDuck states in the video that her tone often comes off as derogatory, but in the video, she never strikes that derogatory tone, but rather has complete control over her voice:

She is still going on the line that this voice is put on to supposedly sound sweet for other people.

Sashka then mimics Anni and whines: “No, that’s not true at all… not true at all.”

Sashka criticizes the interviewer for not having asked any critical follow-up questions and for insulting viewers as “stupid” for their criticism.

Moreover, Sashka criticizes opinion bloggers for falling for the manipulation of streamer AnniTheDuck in their attempt to be the first to release a video on the current conflict, only rebutting straw man arguments in her own statement and ignoring many of the valid criticisms. Other opinion bloggers have addressed this criticism and deleted their videos.

Streamer AnniTheDuck faced accusations, among others, of being disgusted by her “sweaty fans.” In a statement, she addressed this accusation: Anni The Duck explains in the statement why she sometimes feels disgusted by her fans

Generation Z now finds a new reason to go from home office to the office

Gerald Wessel 26. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The office is perceived very differently by younger people than by previous generations. It offers an experience that was once quite banal, but is now special.

What motivates Gen Z to go to the office? For young people, the office is a place to express themselves more personally than was perhaps common in previous generations. Currently, the hashtags #cubiclelife and #worklife are booming. At its core, it’s about personalizing the workplace and understanding it as an important place in life – and sharing its creation with others, possibly going viral in the process.

Like the following TikTok video from Maïa Maury, a 25-year-old French woman living and working in America. It has since accumulated over 10 million views. She invested around 200 US dollars in furnishing her workspace.

Who exactly is Gen Z? Also called Zoomers, all individuals born between 1996 and 2012 belong to this group. Before them are the Millennials (Y) starting from 1980. The birth period of Generation X is from 1965 to 1979. Anyone born after 2012 or who will be born in 2024 is part of Generation Alpha.

A completely new experience

Why does Generation Z perceive the office differently? Generally, there are two main reasons for this, as Business Insider points out. On the one hand, a significant portion of young people has not experienced working in an office, at their own desk outside of home, until now. The pandemic forced newcomers to stay in home office. Anyone under 30 who has studied has likely spent little time in an office outside of a school internship before the pandemic.

Moreover, many younger people more frequently share spaces or means of transport with others than older individuals. For them, arriving at and having a space just for themselves at work is an exclusive experience.

On the other hand, the importance of the so-called work/life balance has changed (via Gruender). Therefore, the idea of having a personal, customized desk in a room with colleagues-friends is welcomed by many young people – far more enthusiastically than by older ones.

Experts believe: Generation Z is doing poorly because they spent a lot of money at the wrong time

Is having a personal desk an enticement in jobs? Yes, experts at Business Insider point this out as well. For companies, it may be worthwhile to offer private and not shared desk spaces, even in hybrid work models. In times when home office is perceived as the standard, this is a real added value and not a given.

But isn’t it still just a workplace that can also be taken away? There are cautionary voices under Maïa Maury’s video. The tense economic situation has led some to warn of layoffs under the aforementioned TikTok. No one should feel that comfortable at their workplace. However, the influencer has a clear response to this:

This idea that a job is only there to pay the bills is a problem. If you think of a job that way, you will hardly enjoy what you do.

Surveys among employers in the United Kingdom currently paint a less than glamorous picture of the time Generation Z spends in the office. However, there are also good reasons and factors that relativize the not entirely unfounded accusations of older generations: Generation Z is often late, wastes work time, and frequently drops out due to mental health issues, surveys show.

„I really want to try it!“ – New MMORPG on Steam is inspired by Tibia, Diablo, and Tolkien

Karsten Scholz 26. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

With Apogea, a new MMORPG is set to appear “soon” on Steam, which focuses on a medieval fantasy setting, promises “no Pay2Win,” and is reminiscent of genre greats like Tibia and RuneScape. The first trailer is very well received despite the old-school isometric graphics.

What kind of game is Apogea? The MMORPG from the indie studio Trinitas aims to immerse you in a seamless medieval world, filled with numerous secrets, quests, dangers, and of course, other player characters. The promised features include:

a focus on “no Pay2Win” to ensure that all players have the same chance for a successful gaming experience based on their skills and dedication
you start as a squire and then pursue a career as a knight, mage, or rogue
through skill trees, you learn spells and advanced combat techniques, and you can also improve your abilities
the world consists of several biomes such as forests, swamps, deserts, or underground caves
NPCs offer quests, monsters drop loot, you can trade, or engage in PvP battles with other players

The first trailer of Apogea gives you an initial impression:

Moreover, all equipment pieces, visibly presented as swords, bows, books, and so on, seem to be lying directly in the game world. On X, the developers cite the original Tibia, Diablo, Old School RuneScape, and the Tolkien universe as sources of inspiration.

Another beta player explains that there is also housing in Apogea: you buy the plot of land and then have to pay a kind of tax regularly. The developers have not yet mentioned a fixed release date.

A player allows a friend to stay with him – The friend intentionally destroys his gaming PC and steals from him

Benedikt Schlotmann 26. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

A player wants to help an acquaintance and offers him accommodation. He thanks him for his help by deliberately damaging his computer severely. His harsh conclusion from the story: Never help anyone if no one else does.

On reddit, a player complains about an acquaintance who displayed an incredible rage for destruction instead of gratitude. This was because he had offered the acquaintance a place to sleep. But when the player returned home, his gaming PC was dead and valuable hardware was stolen.

Perpetrator willfully destroys gaming PC and steals additional hardware

What did the guy do? On the one hand, he probably stole the player’s gaming chair. But according to the thread starter, that is no big drama:

The guy violently ripped off several capacitors from the motherboard of the PC.
After an initial test and another crash, he then discovered that a capacitor was also missing from his graphics card. By the way, the capacitors could not be found anywhere.
Only after he had replaced the motherboard and the graphics card did the computer finally start up again properly.

Why was he after the capacitors? A user explains that broken or destroyed capacitors are difficult to identify as faults because diagnostic programs usually do not detect such errors. Therefore, the act does not seem like a random act but rather as if the perpetrator knew exactly what he was doing.

Another user adds warningly: If the guy knew that he could make life difficult for someone this way, then he should also worry about possible malware that might have been installed on his PC.

Why did he even let the guy into the apartment? The user explained that the guy had been the best friend of his roommate, and that was why they had tolerated him. By now, he certainly had been the best friend. Because he not only stole an Xbox Series S from him but also took his ROG Ally.

How did the situation end? He confronted the perpetrator with the problems, and he admitted everything. The player then called the police and filed a report for property damage.

Why did he do that? He didn’t want to answer. I guess I’ll hopefully find out the reasons in court. We didn’t get into an argument, and at this point, there seems to be no reason.

(…)

The moral of the story. Never help someone if no one else does. I give you a place where you can lie down, shower, cook, and feel safe, and that’s how you repay me. An absolute jerk.

Another player accidentally destroys his graphics card himself: He just wanted to assemble his new gaming PC. However, he wasn’t careful and plugged cables together indiscriminately. Now he has to buy the expensive graphics card again: User builds a new gaming PC and accidentally destroys his graphics card because he makes a dumb mistake 3 times

While the rest leveled in WoW, I caught a golden nose

Cortyn 26. August 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

WoW demon Cortyn has once again cast the line while everyone else leveled up. There was thick loot.

When the starting signal for the Early Access of the new expansion of World of Warcraft went off last Friday, I immediately dove into the quests. I had only played the campaign in the beta to a small extent, but I had a rough plan on how I wanted to approach the situation:

My priestess will only complete the main campaign and dungeons to unlock all features up to level 80 for the account.
I will then complete the side quests with other characters to level them up and see the rest of the story.

Start video

WoW: The War Within – Shadows Beneath the Surface

Autoplay

Treasure Swarms – A Guarantee for Great Loot

Due to this plan, I arrived in the third area, in Hallowfall, after just a few hours – after all, the main campaign is relatively short. There, for the first time, I noticed a special fish swarm called “Whispers of the Deep.” It sounded so suspicious to me that I immediately pulled out my old artifact fishing rod from Legion to see what could be caught.

The very first cast brought me a pack of Darkmoon cards – the second and third as well. It immediately put dollar signs in my eyes and reminded me of my fishing escapades in Dragonflight.

After all, the Darkmoon cards can be converted into sets that then yield a powerful piece of jewelry with item level 577 – quite high for Early Access.

I spent the next six hours – aside from a few minor breaks – exclusively fishing, bringing in around 50 treasure swarms. I flew continuously along the coast of Hallowfall, fishing all the swarms to make room for new ones.

When a fish swarm is fished out, a new one spawns elsewhere. Since I was in warmode and hardly anyone was around on my realm, I also had no competition.

The yield was impressive. Alongside 120 Darkmoon cards, I also got plenty of (tradeable) transmog pieces, book pages that improve my alts’ fishing, and further fishing upgrades that would only become relevant later.

In sales, the cards and transmog brought me nearly 500,000 gold. Not to mention that I could perfectly use the hundreds of fish that came in for leveling my cooking skills.

By now, fishing has become a ritual for me with a new WoW expansion. After I’ve “played through” the first hours, I like to dedicate myself to fishing to get that profession to the maximum level as quickly as possible. This way, it’s also very relaxing to chat in the guild chat.

That now for the second time in a row a hefty gold bonus came my way is a nice thing – it just ensures that I will do the same in “Midnight” again.

More news about WoW:

The 16 MMORPGs with the most players according to official numbers from the developers

von Benedict Grothaus

“Reproducing” this is no longer possible, by the way. Due to the connected auction houses, there are currently so many Darkmoon card sets that the price for individual sets has already dropped to below 10,000 gold. However, anyone who plans to level fishing anyway might want to take my route as a model – because at least a few extra gold coins and some transmog items will drop.

This “little” detour has ensured that I arrived at level 80 significantly later than many of my friends – but now I have a nice cushion of gold and so much fish that I can barely keep up with consuming it. Sometimes it’s worth it to deviate from the known path in WoW and simply do something “completely different.” At least that was a clear advantage of the Early Access version for me.

New Steam shooter from Valve receives praise – will conquer the market according to a major streamer

David U. 26. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Big Counter-Strike and Valorant streamer plays the alpha of Valve’s new Steam shooter and predicts a new big hit.

Which game is it about? For months, rumors have circulated in the media about a shooter that Valve is currently working on. However, the publisher has remained silent, and we now know that the game is called Deadlock, which has now also received its own Steam page.

However, specific information about the release date or gameplay is currently nowhere to be found there. Instead, you will only find the note that the game is in an early development stage:

Deadlock is in an early development phase, with many temporary graphical assets and experimental gameplay. Access is currently restricted to friends’ invitations through our playtesters.

However, Valve promises “upcoming” news, and until then, you can check out the gameplay in videos (via YouTube). Visually, it resembles Fortnite, which should be taken with caution due to the early development status and can change at any time.

Which streamer are we talking about? As soon as the floodgate opened, Shroud was one of the first to dive into the game. After more than a dozen hours of gameplay, the former Counter-Strike pro has already made a judgment. Shroud looks to the future with optimism and believes that Deadlock will be the next big thing (via Twitch).

When he played again the next afternoon, the long-time pro and current streamer went into more detail. Even though he has some initial criticisms, mainly regarding Deadlock’s performance, there was mostly praise from Shroud.

Be it the extensive roster, all the different builds, the traversal mechanics, or aiming – there is a lot to master when it comes to Valve’s new game, and for Shroud, it is this factor that will lead to long-term success.

One Piece: The cast for Chopper in the Netflix series has been confirmed – at least in part

Jasmin Beverungen 26. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

An actor has indirectly revealed that he will play Chopper in the live-action series of One Piece. However, it is likely that another actor will also appear in the Netflix-series, as the actor will not fully embody the little reindeer.

Which actor will play Chopper? The role of Chopper will be taken on by a relatively unknown actor. Gavin Gomes has appeared in series and films such as Jet Trash, Black Sails, and Eraser: Reborn. Soon, he will be seen in the Netflix series of One Piece, as the reliable One Piece expert newworldartur confirms.

Link to the Twitter content

That Gomes is joining One Piece has not yet been officially announced. Rather, we know from his resume that he will take on the role of Chopper. However, although the role seems to be cast with Gomes, it is likely that another actor is being sought to play Chopper.

You can watch the trailer for the Netflix series of One Piece here:

Several actors are being sought for Chopper

Why will there be another actor? Gomes will only play the “Heavy Point” version of Chopper. This is a form of the reindeer that he can take on thanks to the Human-Human Fruit.

Chopper can indeed take on several mutations. One of them is this human form, where he becomes a more muscular adult. Thanks to the Rumble Balls he developed, there are about 10 forms in which he can appear.

In his base form, Chopper is a small reindeer on two legs. Therefore, we assume that Gomes will not be seen very often, but only when Chopper is in battle or has to do heavy work.

Accordingly, other actors will still be sought for the other forms, especially for Chopper’s smaller base form. However, we believe that most of the forms will be created with the help of CGI technology or taken over by the smaller Chopper.

Through his Monster form, Chopper becomes a gigantic creature, for example. Here, we don’t believe that this form can be represented by a human.

In addition to the live-action adaptation, Netflix has commissioned a remake that aims to summarize the over 1,000 episodes of the anime.

Diablo 4 announces a new feature with the group finder that many players want – Now the community wants more

Paul Kutzner 26. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

For Diablo 4, the group finder was announced a few days ago. But there are more wishes from the community.

What is the group finder? The group finder is a feature that was announced for Diablo 4 during gamescom 2024. With this feature, as the name suggests, you can find players to form groups and complete various activities in Diablo 4 together.

This can be especially helpful if there aren’t many players to be found around you for Diablo 4. The feature is expected to be released simultaneously with the expansion Vessel of Hatred on October 8, 2024, and will be available to all players. Here you can find more information about the group finder.

While the announcement is well-received in the community, voices are growing louder for 2 additional desired features.

Wow, that’s great

What does the community say about the group finder? While some comments on Reddit mock that this feature was long overdue, the majority of commentators are positive about the group finder and are looking forward to its release.

Some of the comments about the new feature are as follows:

Wow, they somehow copied the D3 party finder for random groups. It’s like they had the solution all along, writes thecheezepotato.
For me as a solo player, this is very useful. It will be easier to join boss rotations and activities, which is nice, says the user BL_RogueExplorer.
THANK GOD. I mean, I’m on the PS5. From the moment I see someone saying they need more players, to the time it takes me to type a simple message with a damn controller, the group is filled, writes Guibsx.
Finally! Looks like I’ll be returning to Diablo 4, notes the user BishSlapDiplomacy.

What features does the community wish for? Besides the group finder, there are many voices in the community for additional features they wish for Diablo 4.

One of them is a loot filter. With this feature, loot that players do not need could be filtered out, so players would spend less time manually sorting through the loot.

The second feature is the ability to save different builds and the appropriate equipment in templates for quick switching. This feature could also save players a lot of time when frequently switching between different builds. This feature is also referred to as Loadout or armory.

The wish for an auction house can also be found in the comments. This feature was originally available for Diablo 3, but was ultimately removed because it nearly ruined the game.

Some voices from the community about these wishes are:

Next up: Loadout, so we don’t have to create alt characters for different builds, writes the user SoftDragonfruit2402.
Group finder but no loot filter or auction house or loadouts?, notes NightCulex as well.
FINALLY, hopefully, an armory is next, writes the user UniQue1992.
Loot filter and auction house in 2 years, notes the user Witty-Stand888, probably with a touch of sarcasm.

WoW: Finding Osidion – Here is the dwarf with the rewards

Cortyn 26. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Osidion in World of Warcraft: The War Within hides a little bit. However, you can buy really cool rewards from him.

In WoW: The War Within, you will be flooded with a lot of items, all of which have some benefit or another. Sometimes the benefit can be derived from the description – but that doesn’t help if you can’t find the corresponding vendor. We will tell you where to find Osidion and what he has to offer you.

WoW: The War Within – Forces Within

Autoplay

Who is Osidion? Osidion is an earthen dwarf that you can encounter in the capital city of Dornogal. He is located in the district “The Forge Grounds”, but quite far in the east, at the coordinates 57 / 61. You can view the exact position on this map:

What does Osidion want? Even in The War Within, there are a whole series of reputation factions (also called “Fame”). By questing through the areas and completing world quests, you will already rank up in the fame levels and unlock different rewards. One that you occasionally receive from all factions is the “Earth-Encrusted Gem”.

Osidion wants these precious stones from you.
