Although the last season of Stranger Things has already aired, fans of the series won’t have to wait long for more. In the first trailer for Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, Netflix confirms the release date and shows the fight against some monsters.
What kind of series is this? Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 is a new animated series in the universe of Stranger Things. It takes place between Season 2 and Season 3 of the Netflix series and shows what happened in the winter of 1985 after the events of Season 2. Everything seems peaceful, but the Upside Down is still threatening Hawkins.
When does the series premiere? As the new trailer confirms, the series is set to start on April 23 on Netflix.

Good Mood and Potential
What can be seen in the trailer? In the first trailer, you can see how the kids enjoy the winter and the returned peace. Dungeons and Dragons is being played, and even the first relationships are formed. But the peace is only a small part because monsters or creatures from the Upside Down seem to have returned.
Accordingly, you can already see some action sequences. Dustin and Steve flee in the car, other characters see an evil pumpkin creature, and apparently, horror elements are also included again.
What does MeinMMO film editor Niko say about the trailer? After the last season, I was a bit disappointed. Somehow the entire balance didn’t feel right. But after the first trailer for Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, I am positively surprised.
The look is unusual, yet I quite like it. The animations look solid, and overall it feels like series from earlier that are based on films. Do you still remember the Men-in-Black series? I do, and I’ll probably never forget the intro.
The new series about Stranger Things seems to be significantly more focused, and I look forward to spending time with the gang again. If they don’t try to tell something too big again, I’m sure Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 will work quite well.

A player places the emotional value of his spear in Dungeons & Dragons higher than the actual skill and refuses to equip a more powerful weapon. His dungeon master appreciates this attitude and wants to reward him for it.
What makes the spear so important? The dungeon master Leytra reports to the Dungeons & Dragons community on Reddit that one of her players has never stopped opting to keep his simple and rather unremarkable spear rather than replace it with another weapon. The spear has no special properties and is nothing more than a simple weapon in the campaign’s story that the adventurer bought from a blacksmith at the very beginning. But that’s exactly what makes the spear so indispensable,
“All the others have switched to magical items, but he has rejected every found item because his character is attached to his spear, because it’s his,” explains the dungeon master, “He has accompanied him through all the shit that has happened.”
The dungeon master greatly values this attitude, as it is really great for role-playing and narrative. However, she wants to do something to reward this commitment and eliminate the mechanical disadvantage that the rather humble spear brings due to its simplicity. As far as the rules are concerned, she doesn’t care, because she would “homebrew it to hell and back’ to make it worthwhile for the story.

Characters don’t have to be the only ones who can level up in Dungeons & Dragons
How can the dungeon master upgrade the spear? For the Dungeons & Dragons community, homebrew is not a foreign concept. It is not uncommon for dungeon masters to create and invent their own rules, which can lead to very special and personal moments with the group’s agreement.
The open-mindedness of the dungeon master allows the community to take many approaches they can borrow for their campaign and spear:
Players suggest giving the spear to a cleric or a blacksmith who can make it magical and allow a +1 bonus to attacks and damage rolls. If this should be something more spectacular, it could also happen through the blood of a powerful defeated opponent, whose power flows into the spear.
Regardless of how she decides, the community already seems excited about her approach as a dungeon master, as does HeySpudEyeSeeYou:
“I generally think this mechanic is great. Instead of buying equipment in the typical old magic shop, the players’ gear simply ‘levels’ with them.”
Why is this just right for the dungeon master’s campaign? From the dungeon master’s description, it seems that for the player, it is not too important to be the most powerful in combat; otherwise, the spear would not have remained the main weapon for so long. It is evident from the explanation that the entire group along with the dungeon master places a greater focus on role-playing – an important aspect that should be discussed in a so-called Session Zero.
Considering the preference for role-playing and narrative decisions, it makes sense to elevate the sentimental value to the true power of the spear. The community recognizes this as well:
“This weapon has simply been perfectly primed for further development, gathering ‘experience’ together with the player and thus creating its own legend,” explains Commercial-Formal272. But feypop also explains why the dungeon master’s approach sounds perfect: “Modesty, patience, sentimentality, and care must be at the center. A spear is just a spear. It is the time we devote to it that makes it special.”
With Project: Gorgon, an MMORPG is more popular than ever on Steam. However, to help noobs, the developers must now turn into pigs.
What kind of MMORPG is this? Project: Gorgon is an indie MMORPG from Studio Elder Game, inspired by EverQuest 1 and Asheron’s Call. The focus is therefore on the immersive experience in the game world. For example, there is no fixed class system. Instead, you decide for yourself which skills you learn.
The MMORPG offers a lot of freedom, whether summoning an army of the dead as a necromancer or earning a living as a beastmaster: Project Gorgon offers a lot of variety. You can also transform yourselves into animals, and veterans are now experiencing this.
Here you can watch the trailer for the game:

Project: Gorgon – Steam Release Trailer
Veterans Become Pigs
What’s up with the pigs? After the early access of Project: Gorgon, the game is currently experiencing a peak of attention on Steam. While the player peak during early access was only a few hundred players, on Sunday, according to SteamDB, there was a new high with over 2,200 players.
Reason enough for the developers to create more space for players. A brand new server for the MMORPG has been announced, aimed primarily at newcomers. To ensure that veterans do not have an advantage over newcomers on the new server, there are some restrictions for experienced players.
All players who have played 40 or more hours of Project: Gorgon will be transformed into a “support pig”. This animal is a kind of class in the game and has some unique abilities, but above all, it has no hands. This makes the experience extremely difficult and is intended to give new players the advantage they need to enjoy the MMORPG.
Veterans can also play in groups with regular players and support them. This is expected to develop a new style of play. Those who want to restart despite their 40 hours of playtime can permanently delete their previous progress via chat command.
For the new players of Project: Gorgon, the new server offers exactly what they need to experience the game anew, without being surrounded by veterans who have long gained many advantages.

In March, a new role-playing game called Solasta 2 will be released on Steam, which has already impressed with its predecessor. Anyone who liked Baldur’s Gate 3 should definitely check out the game. The creators are now revealing which classes you will be able to play at launch.
What kind of game is this?
Solasta is based on the rules of the 5th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons. It is a classic cRPG with an isometric perspective and turn-based combat. Even the first part is one of the best alternatives to Baldur’s Gate 3.
Unlike in Baldur’s Gate 3, you do not experience the stories of individual characters but build your team entirely from scratch. This will also be the case in Solasta 2.
These are the classes at launch: In a new post on Steam, the developers revealed which classes and subclasses (or specializations) you can expect. Many of the subclasses are not from official rulebooks but created specifically for Solasta (“homebrew”):
Fighter
Commander: Melee fighter with support abilities
Aether Warden: Armored half-spellcaster with a defensive focus
Wizard
Court Mage: Magical “bodyguards” with good defense and support abilities
School of Ruin: Pure damage class focused on area spells
Rogue
Shadowcaster: A mix of assassin and spellcaster
Scavenger: Strong melee fighter with a trading bonus
Paladin
Oath of Judgement: Offensive subclass with some supportive skills
Oath of Liberation: A kind of “trickster” who can blind enemies and protect allies from status effects
Sorcerer
Mana Painter: Defensive spellcaster who protects themselves by using offensive spells
Star Child: Damage dealer who causes extra damage with metamagic – strong against single targets
Cleric
Life Domain: classic healer
Oblivion Domain: Hybrid spellcaster who can support or heal and deal damage
Battle Domain: Melee fighter with strong buffs and good defense
It will be possible to combine classes. However, we would only recommend the so-called “multiclassing” if you know what you are doing. There is a chance that you might severely limit your potential.
In Solasta, you create your own party of four adventurers, which you create entirely yourself. You can choose which classes to take with you (and of course, which races you want to play).

Solasta 2: Trailer for the Demo of the Role-Playing Game on Steam
Solasta 2 is the perfect alternative for anyone looking for a substitute for Baldur’s Gate 3
With Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian has created a game that keeps players engaged for years after its release and often provides thousands of hours of gameplay. The problem: for some, other games now feel dull.
Solasta 2 uses the same rule set, and the predecessor was considered one of the best implementations of D&D in the video game space among fans. The developers have even delivered a really strong co-op mode.
Colleague and role-playing game expert Fabiano Uslenghi from GameStar is looking forward to Solasta 2 more than any other role-playing game. However, note that the game will only be available in Early Access, and only the first part of Act 1 will be playable. The Early Access is expected to last about a year. More content and changes will come over time.
If you enjoyed Baldur’s Gate 3 and are now looking for an alternative, Solasta 2 is definitely worth a look – especially if you are waiting for the next title from Larian and want to shorten the waiting time.
Are you still hoping for a game where you can feel like Boba Fett or Mando from Star Wars? A sci-fi game on Steampromises just that. It is being developed by a single person, a family man.
Which game is being talked about? The game is called Riftwalker and is set to be a story-driven sci-fi action RPG. It is being developed by Ethan McKinnon, who, according to his LinkedIn profile brings more than 25 years of experience in game development.
McKinnon is the sole developer of Riftwalker. At the time this article is published, he also does not have a publisher. So the family man is taking on the work and financing of the project himself, as he reveals in a post on X.

Riftwalker: A new sci-fi game on Steam looks like a mix of Star Wars and Dune
Star Wars meets Dune, meets… Max Payne?
What is the game about? Riftwalker makes you a bounty hunter who hunts targets with guns, a jetpack, and a floating sci-fi motorcycle. This strongly resembles two of the most famous bounty hunters from Star Wars like Boba Fett and Din Djarin, better known as the Mandalorian or simply Mando.
With your bounty hunter, you will travel across seven different worlds, one of which the developer is already showcasing in the game trailers. With its dry desert landscape, it resembles the planet Tatooine from Star Wars, but also the desert world Arrakis from Dune.
McKinnon describes Riftwalker as a mix of The Mandalorian, Dune, and Max Payne – the latter is primarily meant to deliver inspiration for the combat and the dark background story. As in the game trilogy from Remedy Entertainment and Rockstar Games, there will also be bullet-time action in Riftwalker.

Where is the RPG element? This mix of Star Wars, Dune, and Max Payne is paired in Riftwalker with RPG mechanics. You will be able to enhance your bounty hunter with cybernetic modules and even equip them with permanent augmentations that change your gameplay.
Throughout the game, you will also draw new powers from the Void. These, however, are said to cost you a part of your humanity. What exactly this means is not quite clear yet. It sounds like the Void will play a larger role.
On Steam, there is already a shop page for Riftwalker. There you can follow the game or add it to your wishlist if you want to stay updated. If you want, you can also support the developer through Patreon.
Boba Fett and the Mandalorian are indeed the two most well-known bounty hunters in the Star Wars universe, but certainly not the only ones. How do they measure up against the competition?

One of the members of Sauercrowd has achieved what many thought was impossible: despite some setbacks, he reached level 60 in WoW Hardcore. For his achievement, several streamers shaved their heads. Just a week later, his character dies, although nearly anything could have saved him.
Why the shaved head? Even before the start, streamers Kutcher and Vlesk had created a tier list of the Sauercrowd members to evaluate a “skill ranking”. Broeki ended up, along with others, in last place: “Season ticket in the starting area.”
Driven by ambition – HandOfBlood explains that Broeki shortly “went around once, offended everyone” and then left (on YouTube) – the LoL streamer was determined to reach level 60.
Kutcher, Vlesk, and HandOfBlood subsequently made a bet: should Broeki manage to reach max level, the three other streamers would shave their heads. On January 27, it finally happened: Broeki reached level 60 and to “lead by example,” he had his hair shaved live on stream (on Twitch).
The betting debts have already been partially settled: Vlesk and HandOfBlood are bald, while Kutcher has only short hair. As for Broeki … his success didn’t last long.

Broeki dies in the endgame dungeon, a single defensive spell could have saved him
In the fight against a summoner, the group briefly gets into trouble. A summoner of the Blood Axes casts Flame Blast, an area ability that hits opponents in the vicinity, deals damage, and knocks them back.
The first cast kicks the tank into a pit and deals damage to all those nearby. No problem, the opponent is almost defeated, Broeki as a mage and the group’s warrior are still standing. Only Broeki doesn’t survive the second attack.
Flame Blast deals 1,250 fire damage. The tank, a paladin, already has a fire resistance aura active. Broeki has 2,440 health points – so two spells kill him with 60 points over death (on Twitch). This is especially unfortunate because almost anything could have saved Broeki:
Counterspell would have completely interrupted the casting of Flame Blast.
Mana Shield or Ice Barrier would have given him enough shield to survive the second spell.
Even partial resistance from the aura would have been enough to avert the fatal damage.
Even a weak health potion, the weakest potion in the game, would have healed at least 70 health points – enough not to die.
On Reddit, some players are even certain: if Broeki had simply stood still after the first spell instead of moving closer again, he would have been out of range for the next Flame Blast. Thus, his mage passed away.
Broeki’s death is not the only one recently, but it definitely stands out as one of the most bitter – not just because of the head-shaving event, but especially due to the hard work put into reaching level 60. You can find an overview of the deaths here: Sauercrowd: All deaths of recent days and their levels in an overview

A player’s graphics card gets very hot under load: The solution costs him almost 7 euros. Other players claim to have had similar issues with their graphics cards.
A player reports on Reddit that he built a new gaming PC a few months ago. The PC has been running without issues since then, but his graphics card gets way too hot while gaming: According to him, the GPU temperatures constantly reach 80 – 82 °C in some games, which he considers too high. How hot a graphics card can get under load can be read on MeinMMO.
Upon inspection, the user later found that there is a large gap between the backplate and the heatpipes of his graphics card. He suspected that the backplate could not properly dissipate the heat, making it impossible to cool the graphics card effectively.

Thermal pads for 7 euros solve the graphics card heat problem
The user’s solution: He bought thermal pads, cut them into strips, and stuffed them into the gap. Immediately, the temperatures of the graphics card under load dropped. He explains on Reddit:
So I got some thermal pads, cut them into thin strips, and stuffed them in this gap to fill the space. Now my temperatures under the same load are at 65-67 °C. I suspect that due to this gap, the backplate did not transfer the heat properly and the thermal pads have fixed the problem.
He mentioned that he paid about 8 US dollars for the thermal pads. Converted, that’s almost 7 euros. On Amazon, you pay between 5 and 10 euros for customizable thermal pads.
Is he the only one with the problem? No, under the thread on Reddit, several users report that they have had similar problems with their graphics cards.
The graphics card purchased by the user, a Gigabyte Windforce RTX 4070, is considered a well-known candidate in the community when it comes to heat issues. One person from the community refers on Reddit to the fact that Gigabyte later adjusted its Windforce model of the RTX 4070: The current model has been modified so that temperatures should no longer be an issue.
The YouTube and Twitch streamer Ludwig Ahgren has been playing Minecraft speedruns for weeks to rise up a rank on a leaderboard. However, even after an 8-hour stream, he is unable to reach his set goal, despite receiving support from his viewers.
Which streamer is playing what? The American streamer Ludwig Ahgren is known for constantly setting himself challenges in gaming. Currently, he is working on improving his speedruns in Minecraft.
For this, he plays the “Ranked Minecraft Speedruns” mode. Here, two players compete against each other in the same world. Whoever completes Minecraft faster earns points that place them higher on the leaderboard.
There are, as the name of the mode suggests, various ranks inspired by elements in Minecraft: they start at Coal I and end at Netherite. Ludwig Ahgren wants to finally reach the rank Gold I; he is currently at Iron III.

8 hours for the exact opposite of the goal
How did Ludwig want to prove his skill? Previously, Ludwig apparently did not have enough skill to progress far in MCSR: he trained for over 50 hours in the game, only to end up in last place out of 10,000 players. For nearly 3 weeks, he has been engaged in the speedrun.
Even now, it seems to look similar. According to SullyGnome, Ludwig has played almost 90 hours of Minecraft in the past 30 days. He should be very practiced in the game by now.
In his stream on February 1, 2026, Ludwig announced his ambitious rise to Gold rank. He needed just 4 more wins to achieve that. However, he failed miserably. Instead of leveling up, he dropped down to a lower rank, Iron II, after an 8-hour stream.
Ludwig includes viewers in the stream: For the stream, Ludwig came up with something special: his viewers had the chance to participate musically. Viewers covered famous songs and wrote new lyrics, fitting Ludwig and his Minecraft mission.
Taylor Swift’s song “You Belong With Me” for instance no longer told the story of a lovesick teenager, but that Ludwig would be stuck in his Iron III rank forever. Sometimes the viewers’ songs were motivating; other times, it was seemingly just about including as many subtle insults as possible.
A player and his buddy launched hundreds of flare guns in ARC Raiders. The community is amazed and jokes about the consequences of the action.
What was that action? A few days ago, the Reddit user “81nmIsbucko” shared a video in the subreddit for ARC Raiders. In this video, he and his teammate reportedly ignite 168 Raider flares simultaneously.
The two Raiders had filled 2 loot markers Mk2 completely with flares and taken them into the raid. They then placed them in a long line and sat back at a greater distance to appreciate their work when igniting.

This is what the community says about the action: The subreddit for ARC Raiders is excited. The post garnered over 13,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments. Many celebrate the fireworks and hope for more cool actions from the community in the future.
Many users also respond humorously. One jokes: “There was never a DDoS attack. This guy crashed the servers with Raider flares,” and receives over 3,000 upvotes. The comment refers to the server issues on January 28, 2026, which left ARC Raiders down for hours. According to the developers, DDoS attacks were the cause of the problems.
Other players write that he brought weaker gaming PCs of players on the other side of the map to a boil with the fireworks.

This is how he did it: The actual fireworks are not a big challenge. You just have to pack enough remote-controlled flares and place them in a row. Then, when you hit “Activate,” all placed flares are ignited simultaneously.
In the comments, “81nmIsbucko” reports that he packed, placed, and ignited half of the flares. His buddy handled the other half. The only “problem” is the risk of packing so many flares. If your Raider dies, everything is lost.
“81nmIsbucko” and his teammate lost two full inventories in their attempts before they could successfully ignite the fireworks. But since you can buy unlimited flares at Apollo and a full inventory costs only about 45,000, it doesn’t bother him.

All Spotlight Hours in February 2026
When do the Spotlight Hours take place? A Spotlight Hour starts every Tuesday at 18:00. Exactly one hour later, at 19:00, the event ends. What Pokémon and bonuses you can expect in February is detailed in the following table. Pokémon that can also appear as Shiny are marked with an *.
Date
Pokémon & Bonus
February 3
Whismur * and double Candy for catches
February 10
Munna* and double XP for catches
February 17
Horsea* and double Candy for transfers
February 24
Totodile* and double Stardust for catches
Spotlight Hour on February 3, 2026
Which Pokémon is the focus? The Normal-type Pokémon Whismur awaits you in the first Spotlight Hour of February. This Pokémon from Generation 3 can evolve into Loudred and subsequently into Exploud.
What bonus is active? If you catch Pokémon during this Spotlight Hour, you will receive double the amount of Candy.
Is the event worth it? Whismur and its evolutions are not particularly strong Pokémon. They are not very worthwhile for your raid teams or in the battle league.
If you have Pokémon rewards that you can collect from research, you can collect them during the Spotlight Hour to get double the Candy.
Can you catch Shiny Whismur? Yes, you may also encounter the Shiny variant of Whismur.
Spotlight Hour on February 10, 2026
Which Pokémon is the focus? Munna is the center of attention during this Spotlight Hour. This Psychic-type Pokémon comes from Generation 5 and can evolve into Musharna.
What bonus is active? For each Pokémon you catch during this Spotlight Hour, you will receive double the amount of experience points.
Is the event worth it? If you are looking for new strong attackers, this Spotlight Hour unfortunately is not for you. Munna and Musharna are not suitable for raids or the battle league.
If you are currently collecting experience points, you can use the Spotlight Hour to earn some extra experience points from catching Pokémon. If you use a Lucky Egg, you will even receive quadruple the amount of experience points.
Can you catch Shiny Munna? Yes, the Shiny variant of Musharna is in the game and can be found by you if you are lucky.
Which Pokémon is the focus? The small Water-type Pokémon Horsea from Generation 1 will await you on February 17, 2026, during the Spotlight Hour. It can evolve into Seadra and then into Kingdra.
What bonus is active? If you send Pokémon to the professor during this event, you will receive double the amount of Candy for this.
Is the event worth it? While Kingdra is not suitable for raids, it can be used in the battle league. In the Super League, this Pokémon is currently ranked 52 among the best Pokémon, and in the Hyper League, even ranked 32.
If you still have Pokémon you want to send to the professor to free up some space in your Pokémon box, then this event is perfect for that. This goes especially quickly if you have previously tagged the corresponding Pokémon with a tag.
Can you catch Shiny Horsea? Yes. If you are lucky, you can also find the Shiny variant of Horsea.
Spotlight Hour on February 24, 2026
Which Pokémon is the focus? In the last Spotlight Hour of the month, Totodile awaits you. This Water-type starter Pokémon comes from Generation 2 and can evolve into Croconaw and then into Feraligatr.
What bonus is active? For each Pokémon you catch during this event, you will receive double the amount of Stardust.
Is the event worth it? The last Spotlight Hour of February 2026 features a Pokémon that is really impressive. Feraligatr is among the top 10 Water attackers in Pokémon GO.
Furthermore, this Pokémon is among the best Pokémon you can use in the Hyper League. Currently, it holds the 9th rank.
Can you catch Shiny Totodile? Yes, you can also catch this Pokémon as Shiny. However, since the chance is not increased, you will need some luck.
If you are interested in the Spotlight Hours, it can be very helpful to visit PokéStops during your tours. This way, you will not only receive field research but also new items. If you want to know which PokéStops are on your routes, a new feature can help: There is finally a map that shows you all important locations in Pokémon GO.

The journey of Ashes of Creation started on Kickstarter before the MMORPG was even properly developed. An MMORPG wants to do it differently this time and only dares to go on the platform when there is something to show.
Which MMORPG is it? With Epitome, a new MMORPG has launched on Kickstarter for funding on Friday, January 30, 2026. The platform where the recently failed Ashes of Creation also started offers crowdfunding to projects, allowing them to receive money from individuals instead of corporations. In just 44 hours, more than €100,000 has already been raised for the new MMORPG on Kickstarter.
However, unlike the campaign of Ashes of Creation at that time, the developers of Epitome are already showcasing a playable core version that all supporters can try out. The current state of development is not being hidden by the devs.
Here you can watch the trailer for the MMORPG:

The framework is set
How far is the MMORPG? Before going public with Epitome, the developers wanted to deliver a playable version first. This is supposed to cover all the important core functions of their MMORPG, which they primarily want to build content upon using crowdfunding.
According to the developers on Kickstarter, there are already servers with a capacity for 33,000 players, AI NPCs that populate the world and pursue their own missions and goals, an anti-cheat system, and four playable classes, each of which offers an additional 2 expansion classes.
Those who support Epitome today are not faced with an empty shell. Although many content elements are still missing, there is supposed to be a map available with over 30 different enemies and more than 160 equipment items.
The foundation of content is intended to provide a broad insight into the MMORPG to convey to players how systems should look later. In this respect, Epitome is a step ahead of Ashes of Creation, as the MMORPG generally focused on building individual features instead of shaping the game as a whole.
Where does the MMORPG want to go? Since the foundation is already in place, it can be seen where the MMORPG aims to go. It strongly resembles the popular Metin2 in Germany and thus emphasizes a sandbox with dynamic quests.
The individual classes have only a few abilities, while the character primarily attacks with the standard attack. Similar to Metin2, there are hundreds of healing and mana potions that keep you alive while grinding. There is even a kind of Metin stone that spawns enemies upon an attack.
However, the MMORPG wants to be more than just a copy of the nearly 20-year-old Metin2. The developers heavily focus on the MMO factor in the game and provide not only a guild system but also a faction system, a leaderboard, and dozens of other social features.
Additionally, the graphics, thanks to Unreal Engine 5, are up to date and do not appear outdated in gameplay videos and trailers.
In Dragon Ball Super, the arc featuring the planet eater Moro will soon be seen. A Saiyan finally shows remorse for a crime he committed in Dragon Ball Z.
Son Goku and Vegeta find themselves in the “Galactic Patrol Saga.” In this arc, they must join forces with members of the eponymous unit to battle the planet devourer Moro.
Once again, there are numerous battles, with the Z Fighters also taking part. However, Vegeta gets a special moment where he can show remorse for his actions.

Vegeta transforms from villain to loyal companion
What does Vegeta have to do with it? When Son Goku and his friends first enter the planet Namek, Vegeta is still an antagonist. His goal is to find the Dragon Balls and become immortal. After that, he wants to kill Frieza.
In doing so, he commits a massacre in the village of Elder Tsuno, as the village houses one of these Dragon Balls. He not only kills the residents but also the village elder himself. He even wiped out the children so that they could not reveal anything.
In the Moro arc, he shows genuine remorse for his actions on Namek for the first time. When Moro attacks New Namek, Vegeta, along with Goku, defends the planet. He appears very protective and also mentions that he has caused the Namekians much suffering in the past. For the proud prince, this is a huge acknowledgment.
Even more so, he even asks the Namekians how they think of him and whether they still hold a grudge against him. This topic occupies him even long after he committed the massacre.
The arc shows quite well the transformation that Vegeta has undergone recently. He has become a compassionate person and a loving family man who enjoys bathing with his wife.
How is the arc received by fans? For many readers of the manga, the Moro arc is one of the best. On Reddit, several threads can be found where fans say that this is by far the best arc of Dragon Ball Super. For some on Reddit, it is even in the top 5 of the best arcs there have ever been in the entire Dragon Ball universe.
The Devourer Demon Hunter in World of Warcraft has received significant buffs. Is everything finally good now?
A new patch in World of Warcraft has significantly changed the balance – mainly for one specialization. The highlight of Patch 12.0, the Devourer Demon Hunter, was simply too weak and boring. At least a few issues have now been fixed.

WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features
What was the problem with the Devourer? The Devourer, the new specialization of the Demon Hunter, was considered far too weak. In dungeons, they could barely keep up and were often easily outdone by tanks. Also, the gameplay wasn’t “smooth”, as the big, final attack, the collapsing star, could only be successfully utilized when many factors came together.
What was changed? A hotfix addressed some criticisms of the Devourer last weekend. There were significant buffs and adjustments to how soul fragments are generated. This allows for more frequent use of the finisher and also lets you sprinkle in “harvests,” which now deal significantly more damage.
The details of the changes are:
Devour now generates 1 additional soul fragment.
Shattered Souls now has a 4% chance that a damage-dealing spell creates a soul fragment (previously 8%).
As long as you are in combat, Entropy ensures that you receive a soul fragment every 12 seconds (previously every 8 seconds).
Waste Nothing now ensures that Voidstream has a 200% increased chance to generate a soul fragment (previously 100%). Does not apply in PvP.
Harvests now deal 75% more damage. Does not apply in PvP.
How has this changed the playstyle? Even though it reads in the patch notes as if the nerfs are greater than the buffs, the Devourer now plays much smoother. There is no longer so much ability spamming required, and the damage is now quite solid. Although the specialization still lags a bit behind other classes in terms of variety, that should change with the release of Midnight and the 10 new talent points.
This is what the community is discussing: Even though the changes are generally viewed positively, there is also a lot of criticism about Blizzard’s behavior. Many find it incomprehensible that the new specialization was released in such a state where normal gameplay is nearly impossible. They wish there would be more quality assurance and that the community was not used as a “live beta test”.
How do you feel about the changes to the Devourer specialization? Have you noticed the buffs and are you managing better with your Demon Hunter now? Or are you rather waiting for the release of Midnight until all talents are available and your Demon Hunter is finally “complete”? It is also not surprising that with the full roadmap for 2026, not everything works perfectly right away…

The new Lego sets for Pokémon received a mixed reaction in the community, but the exclusivity of a special set causes united frustration. One fan turned this frustration into motivation and ensured that everyone can build it without paying 650 euros.
Which set is being talked about? It is an exclusive Lego set released with the recently launched Pokémon collection, namely the badges of the Kanto region. It is a display box showcasing the badges from Kanto and consists of a total of 312 pieces.
The Lego Pokémon collection has already alienated some fans, mainly due to the prices, but also because of the cheaper alternatives from other manufacturers. With one decision, Lego has not only failed with the Pokémon fans but also with their own community: the badge set is only available if purchased with the most expensive set of the collection featuring Bulbasaur, Charizard, and Blastoise – and that for 650 euros.
The community is upset about this exclusivity and cannot understand this decision. However, one fan took it a step further. Based on the official images, he recreated the badge box step by step and made the instructions publicly available for the community.

How close did the Lego builder get to the original set? On Reddit, the fan pheob0 presents the result of his work. If one overlooks the product presentation and the post-processing of an official promo image, one could hardly tell which set is the original:
Comparison of the two boxes: left the version of the fan (source: Reddit), right the original (source: Lego)
Aside from the red color choice of the bricks for the box and some exclusive individual parts, the Lego builder was able to create a badge box that generates absolute enthusiasm within the community, as seen with LeroyDUDE: “Yours looks even better than the official, overpriced model.”
How did he further support the fans? Along with pictures of his result, he provided the community with a link in another post in the Reddit thread where one can find free instructions and all necessary parts. This way, one can buy the individual bricks separately without having to purchase an expensive large set for 650 euros or buying it overpriced from resellers.
“You are the best, these instructions are genius!”, writes xxpenjoxx. But Black_Mambe3382410 also finds: “Not all heroes wear capes!”
However, some states are already considering how to reduce or at least cushion the problems. The latest idea comes from a minister in the British government: a basic income for individuals who have lost their jobs due to artificial intelligence.

Basic income for individuals who have lost their jobs due to AI
What is this proposal about? The British Minister for Investment, Lord Jason Stockwood, stated to the Financial Times (Paywall) that the government is considering the introduction of a universal basic income as a means to support workers in industries where AI threatens to displace their jobs. He explained to the magazine:
We undoubtedly need to think very carefully about how we can cushion the decline of these industries, so some kind of basic income and a mechanism for lifelong learning, so that people can retrain.
How does one intend to finance this? For funding, Stockwood already has an idea: a stronger taxation of tech companies that rely on AI and similar technologies. Because they are partly responsible for the significant changes in jobs. Stockwood stated in the conversation:
I think about the productivity gains and the prosperity that AI can create, but we must also consider the more harmful and short-term danger that it entrenches inequality and makes a really small group of super-rich elites even richer, because they control the capital and technologies.
Technology companies have long been regarded as a problem for many European countries: they earn a lot of money in Europe but pay comparatively little tax despite significant revenues. Many states see a great potential here to extract funds.
The big bang of Ashes of Creation came very suddenly for many players despite long warnings. But what happened behind the scenes has been unclear until now. A YouTuber claims to know what really happened.
Who is it about?YouTuber Kira focuses on the backgrounds and news related to MMORPGs and other online games on his channel. He has published a lot of content about Ashes of Creation and has repeatedly warned about problems.
His credibility is based on an internal source that had correctly predicted the surprising Steam release back in November. In his latest video, he talks about the background of Ashes of Creation and the recent developments surrounding the MMORPG.
The MMORPG is currently still playable:

New owners for Ashes of Creation
What does the YouTuber explain? Citing the source that had already predicted the Steam release for him, Kira explains that the development studio “Intrepid Studios”, which is behind Ashes of Creation, has been sold to a “private equity” firm.
“Private equity” firms are investors who buy companies to make profits. According to the YouTuber, these new owners are believed to have different plans for the future of Ashes of Creation than the former CEO.
According to Kira, there was actually an internal plan on January 29 to continue development with around 70 employees and outsource it to a more cost-effective location. However, this plan reportedly did not last 24 hours.
The YouTuber reports that events escalated: Founder Steven Sharif stepped down, and the remaining board then decided against the “small team” and for the “nuclear option”.
According to a document that Kira cites in the video, the current status is no longer outsourcing, but a “complete and permanent closure of operations”. The idea of cheaply continuing development abroad is currently off the table, and total closure is on the horizon, according to Kira.
Steven Sharif himself is largely silent for “legal reasons” at the moment, but he recently wrote on Discord:
“Please wait until more facts are available before drawing such conclusions. The internet is not exactly patient, but unfortunately, the legal process requires patience. You cannot imagine how hard it is for me to stay silent. But I must do so. When the documents are published, there will be clearer facts to refer to.”
What happens to the employees? The employees are likely to be the biggest victims of the conflict. According to the termination letter that has been made available to the YouTuber, employment for all positions and titles will end at the close of business on February 2, 2026.
The allegations Kira raises here are serious: According to his information, employees are said to receive neither their last regular monthly salary nor bonuses for achieved alpha goals, severance payments, or payout of vacation entitlements. They are said to reportedly find themselves without pay from one day to the next.
Whether Ashes of Creation has any future at all remains questionable. The YouTuber’s information is based on leaks and internal documents. However, if these turn out to be true, the dream of the MMORPG in its original form is likely history.

ProSieben was an important home for many comedy series in Germany. Many legendary series aired on the channel and were one of the few ways to watch them before streaming. MeinMMO presents the 7 best in the ranking.
How was this list created? For the list, we rank 7 of the most iconic comedy series that aired or still air on the ProSieben channel. The ranking is based on the author’s personal opinion, which is why mainly series that aired between 2001 and 2012 are included.
We also exclude animated series from the list, so you won’t find Family Guy or The Simpsons here. If your favorite series is missing, feel free to let us know in the comments.
7. Two and a Half Men

Two and a Half Men – Trailer for Season 11 with Jon Cryer and Ashton Kutcher
Start in Germany: 12.03.2005 on ProSieben (US start was on 22.09.2003 on CBS)
The biggest aspect of Two and a Half Men is still today the absurd character constellation. The rich Charlie, his poor brother Alan, and his son Jake. This is also the appeal of the comedy series, as these character dynamics are rare. Especially Charlie (played by Charlie Sheen) is particularly unusual, as he often shows that he is quite a jerk.
Yet, as is often the case, there is a good heart hidden in there, and he is mostly there for his family. However, this extraordinary dynamic loses its charm after a while, especially with Ashton Kutcher, who took over the lead role in Season 9 after Sheen had a falling out with the show’s co-creator, Chuck Lorre. He would have returned under an absurd condition.
Aside from that, the series feels somewhat outdated today, and many other sitcoms are much more timeless. However, the first seasons are still enjoyable.
