“Leave the poor woman alone” – Twitch streamer buys a mini and gets criticized for it

Twitch streamer Fibii recently fulfilled a long-held wish: she leased a Mini. However, instead of joy and recognition, she is facing significant criticism on social media. Her colleague Zarbex is now standing up for her.

Who is Fibii? Fibii, whose real name is Fibi Pfeiffer, has quickly become one of the most well-known female streamers on Twitch. She started her career at just 16 years old and, at 18, is now a prominent figure in the scene. She has over 800,000 followers and is among the top 10 most watched female streamers worldwide.

What kind of car is it? Recently, Fibii fulfilled a long-held wish and leased a Mini. She herself states that the era of her electric car is over and that she is very excited about her new car. She streamed the pickup of her new vehicle live on Twitch and uploaded a montage of it on YouTube.

Her fans on Twitch and YouTube are predominantly responding positively to the video, with many congratulating her on her new car and her success. However, on TikTok, she is unexpectedly facing a lot of criticism.

Big discussion over a small car

What is she being criticized for? Some users cannot understand how she can afford a new car at such a young age. They question whether it is appropriate for someone her age to already have such financial means.

Others find it hard to understand why she only bought a Mini and did not opt for a more expensive car. These differing opinions lead to heated discussions and a full-blown shitstorm against Fibii.

What does Zarbex say about the car? Zarbex, who is currently experiencing a real hype, is aware of this situation and commented on it in one of his streams. He praises Fibii’s choice and emphasizes that she has chosen a down-to-earth car, even though she could have afforded a more expensive one.

“Her dream was a Mini, so she got a Mini. […] It’s a nice little car, a little cuddle ball,” he says in his stream.

“She is being torn apart on TikTok”

How does Zarbex react to the criticism? Still, Zarbex also perceives the hate that Fibii has to endure for her new car. “Fibii, the poor girl, brother. She is being torn apart on TikTok,” he says and appeals to his viewers: “Brother, just leave the poor woman alone.”

He criticizes the growing envy on social media and emphasizes that others should enjoy each other’s success. “Instead of saying: ‘Hey brother, here’s an 18/19-year-old who bought her car and is happy about it’ – no, there’s just hate,” he adds.

A clear statement to the community

What words does Zarbex give to Fibii? Zarbex explains that he feels sorry for Fibii in this situation and that he finds her new car very stylish. He hopes that Fibii does not let the hate get her down.

In conclusion, he makes a clear statement to his viewers: “Someone who is so envious in life and spends their whole life hating on the internet will never be happy in life.”

Fibii’s choice of car is actually something special in the streaming scene, as expensive luxury cars have become a status symbol. Those who have “made it” get a Lamborghini to make sure everyone knows: “The car bought him, not he the car” – EliasN97 explains the rules for his 300,000-Euro Lamborghini.

Developer of Baldur’s Gate reveals: ‘There used to be an award for that, now it’s the end of your career’

Nowadays, the end of a career is what would have once been a reason for extravagant parties – this was revealed by the developer behind Baldur’s Gate.

Gaming has drastically changed over the past few decades. From a small hobby for nerds, it has now become a huge industry. What was once celebrated as a groundbreaking success just a few years ago is now just a drop in the bucket and could be considered a flop. This was revealed by one of the creators of the original Baldur’s Gate.

More insights into the development of the latest Baldur’s Gate 3 can be found here:

Start video
We spoke with the winners of the DCP 2024 and gained insights into the development of Baldur’s Gate 3

What was said? Brian Fargo is one of the developers behind classics such as the original Baldur’s Gate or Fallout. Amused, he compares the gaming market of 25 years ago with today’s market. He displays a series of images on X and writes:

Back then, you received an award if you sold 50,000 or 100,000 units [of a game], today it’s the end of your career.

He also shows pictures of the awards that he and his team received at that time. They received the “Platinum Award” for selling over 150,000 copies of Baldur’s Gate.

If a game achieved such sales figures today, it would likely be considered a flop. Imagine Baldur’s Gate 3 had only sold 150,000 units – it has been sold 100 times more so far, with over 15,000,000 copies sold.

Why has this changed so drastically? The situations that Fargo refers to are a long way in the past. Roughly 25 years ago, at the release of Baldur’s Gate (1), gaming was still a niche subject mainly for teenagers and “computer nerds” – today it is a mass market and an industry larger than film and music combined.

With this larger target audience come greater expectations. At the same time, production costs have risen dramatically. Because increasingly realistic graphics, voice acting, and ever more complex gameplay systems simply require many more employees to implement.

Production costs have risen drastically while prices for a full-price title have remained relatively constant. Therefore, to be considered a success for a large company or an AAA production, many more copies must be sold to be profitable.

Games from smaller developers or “indie titles” can usually survive on fewer sales and are considered successful by the creators much earlier – however, in most cases, it only involves a fraction of the costs that an AAA studio would incur with a publisher. That it can also go really well without a publisher, is shown by the head of Baldur’s Gate 3, who almost threw in the towel.

The Dragon Seeds Explained: Season 2, Episode 7 of House of the Dragon

In a new video, Marco from Nerdkultur analyzes the sixth episode of Season 2 of House of the Dragon. This time it revolves around the dragon seeds, among other things.

Who is Marco Risch? Since 2015, Marco Risch has been discussing news, analyses, critiques, and interviews about current films, series, or games on his YouTube channel Nerdkultur .

In addition, he meets weekly with his colleague Yves Arievich and chats in the Podcast Nerd & Kultur about pop culture topics like Star Wars, Marvel, and DC. 

Both the YouTube channel and the podcast are part of the Webedia network, which also includes MeinMMO.

In his new video, Marco analyzes the 7th episode of House of the Dragon and explains, who the dragon seeds are:

Start video
Nerd culture: House of the Dragon analysis: Season 2 Episode 7

Who are the dragon seeds?

Dragon seeds are the bastards of the Targaryens. Marco explains in his video that in the past, dragon seeds were envied – for their silver hair, but also because their mothers were well compensated.

However, Jaehaerys I abolished this. Interestingly, he himself has a bastard. Rhaenyra is searching for the dragon seeds. Many come forward because power could be in sight. Power that is otherwise promised to the nobility.

The focus of the camera is on Hugh Hammer, Marco explains. He symbolizes a chosen one. He presents himself as Vermithor. In doing so, he realizes the power he has. The power that he inherited from his grandfather Jaehaerys I. A theory about Hugh’s mother can be found with our colleagues at Filmstarts: “House Of The Dragon” Season 2: Do dragon riders have to be Targaryens? And who is Hugh’s mother?

Marco shows that the bastards not only resemble their noble relatives externally. Hugh and Ulf resemble Viserys. Rhaenyra wants to use the bastards to create an army. She approaches the dragon seeds not as a superior, but on an equal footing. Quite perfidious, considering that she is partially responsible for their suffering.

What happens next with Daemon? Daemon is always shown in nightmarish scenarios, Marco explains. The weather and the surroundings symbolize this. It seems that his nightmare is over, but Daemon finds himself in unusual moral distress.

Here we see the influence of Alan Taylor, who worked on the legendary series The Sopranos. Betrayal, loyalty, and consequences are portrayed through Daemon, like in a mafia series. His behavior is explained in his visions.

Viserys appears again in his visions, this time probably for the last time. This time he poses another question to him, and typically for Daemon, there is still no answer for the viewers.

“Disgusting and Dangerous” – Developer Warns on Twitch of an EU Initiative to Save Video Games

An EU initiative wants to save video games. That actually sounds good, but former Blizzard employee and “developer type” from Twitch Jason T. Hall aka “PirateSoftware” sees a great danger in it.

What kind of initiative is this? The initiative “Stop Destroying Videogames” by YouTuber Scott Ross aka “Accursed Farms” as part of his project “Stop Killing Games”, abbreviated as SKG, aims to prevent publishers from “destroying” video games.

Games are to remain playable even when the publisher stops supporting them and shuts down the servers. On August 1, 2024, a petition that 1 million EU citizens must sign was launched for it to be discussed as a possible draft law.

You can support the initiative through the official EU website for citizen initiatives. The whole thing was sparked by the shutdown of the racing MMO The Crew by Ubisoft.

The initiative generally receives a lot of support from influencers in the gaming scene, as it is viewed as consumer-friendly. However, a well-known Twitch streamer is now sharply criticizing the plan.

On April 1, 2024, Ubisoft shut down the servers of the racing MMO The Crew and reminded gamers that they own nothing.

Start video
The Crew: The trailer for the racing game MMO

Who is supposed to do all this?

Who is the developer? Jason Thor Hall is a former Blizzard employee and cyber security expert who is now working as an indie developer and streams on Twitch under the name PirateSoftware. His expertise, his illustrative explanations, and his understanding of the all-powerful algorithm made his channels grow at an incredible speed.

In a Twitch stream on August 2, the developer addressed the initiative – and made it clear that he is anything but thrilled. Hall primarily criticizes the “vague” language of the initiative. In his view, this could potentially encompass all multiplayer games under any resulting law.

What is the criticism? The developer considers this unjustified for live service games, as you are not paying to own the game, but to experience the service of being able to play the game.

Although SKG specifies that publishers do not have to provide servers or resources, such a law would require them to find another way to keep their game playable. For example, by allowing private servers or converting the game into a single-player title.

Hall asks who is supposed to do this work. After all, games are usually discontinued because they are no longer profitable – not only by publishers but also by developers. The developer fears that indie studios would face penalties if they could not afford to convert their games into single-player titles.

Initiative could do more harm than good

Hall sees particularly critically a point that Ross counted as a plus for the initiative in his video: The YouTuber said that politicians neither have much knowledge of video games nor much interest in the topic. Therefore, politicians could occupy themselves with a topic they consider unimportant, thus avoiding unpleasant and more difficult issues.

However, the developer sees this as dangerous: Yes, politicians may not understand, they might not even understand loot boxes. This could lead to government overregulation. With such an initiative, you would be giving a government a weapon to march through the gaming industry and indiscriminately attack things, Hall states.

Is there a response? In fact, Ross has contacted the developer and offered him a conversation. Hall’s reaction suggested some misunderstandings that the YouTuber would like to clarify. For example, “real service games” like World of Warcraft would be exempt from any resulting law.

Ross acknowledges that he and Hall likely have fundamentally different views on whether it is a problem when games are made permanently unplayable.

However, Hall declined a clarifying conversation, referring to Ross’s assumption that he could push through a law by offering politicians an “easy victory”. The developer finds this reasoning “disgusting”. He has no respect for that.

Diablo 4: Season 5 starts today – All information in 2 minutes

Today marks the start of Season 5 in Diablo 4. Here on MeinMMO you will learn everything about the start time, the preload, and the best classes in the “Season of the Infernal Hordes.”

When does Season 5 start? Season 5 starts today, August 6th. It kicks off at 7:00 PM, and this time there will be a preload. According to Blizzard, Patch 1.5.0 will be available for download approximately one hour before the season starts – around 6:00 PM.

How large is the patch? The size of the patch is not yet known. We suspect it could be around 5 GB, but possibly less overall than for Season 4. In that case, there were simply many more changes that significantly reshaped Diablo 4.

You can find the complete patch notes here in German:

New Features in Season 5

What’s new in Season 5? The theme of the new season is “Infernal Hordes.” This also refers to the new endgame activity of the same name, where you will fight against waves of monsters. In addition, there are smaller versions that represent the season mechanics: In the “Hellbreach Dungeons,” you farm XP, reputation, and loot.

There is a new quest line on the eternal and seasonal realm and a reputation system where you can earn materials, loot, and finally a “Magnificent Spark” again. The bosses are being revised, so that summoning is easier and you no longer have to reset the dungeons. The “Beast in the Ice” is no longer located in a nightmare dungeon and Varshan only requires a body part. World bosses are more resilient.

Additionally, the developers are overhauling the items in Diablo 4:

The Best Classes in Season 5

Which class is currently top tier? The developers have also adjusted the class balance. In their livestream on August 1st, the developers explained that the Barbarian is “too strong compared to other classes.” However, they do not want to simply nerf him but rather strengthen other classes. The team has received much feedback, especially regarding the Sorceresses.

Blizzard has made several changes to the skills, aspects, and items of the five classes in Season 5, resulting in various strong builds. Currently, any class can compete at the top with a strong build. Sorceresses and Hunters are currently represented in S-tier with most builds. It will be interesting to see how this develops in the coming weeks after the season starts. Our tier list will be regularly updated: Diablo 4 Season 5 Tier List: The Best Builds for All Classes in Endgame

Helldivers 2: Who is Joel? – This is what lies behind the man who determines the fate of the Over-Earth

In Helldivers 2, one name stands out above all others: Joel. The community repeatedly speaks of the godlike mystery. But who is this Joel, anyway?

If you play Helldivers 2 or follow the community discussions, you must have encountered the name “Joel”. He is said to hold the fate of the galaxy in his hands and determine the destiny of the Über-Earth.

The name Joel often comes up alongside terms like “almighty” or “God”. If you don’t know who this mysterious Joel is and what he’s all about, you will find the answers here.

Helldivers 2: Joel – The True God of the Über-Earth

Who is Joel? Joel’s full name is Joel Hakalax, and he is a Swedish employee of the development studio Arrowhead Games.

In Helldivers 2, Joel works as a so-called Game Master (short GM). These are employees who design in-game events, help with problems, punish misconduct, or mediate disputes. Joel is one of them.

Helldivers 2: Be careful, because this is how you make yourself really unpopular on Over-Earth

Helldivers 2: The Tasks of Joel

What exactly does Joel do? Joel operates in Helldivers 2 similarly to a Dungeon Master in DnD and has the ability to exert control over the player experience.

For this purpose, the studio has made forecasts about how the campaign surrounding the galactic war could develop and integrated systems into the game that allow Joel to influence events.

The CEO of Arrowhead, Johan Pilstedt, explained: The tasks of the Game Master primarily consist of deciding which daily commands are active and where the enemies attack.

What could Joel’s influence look like in practice? In the Helldivers 2 community, there is a theory that the robots might have set their sights on the planet Cyberstan because it was the home planet of the cyborgs in Helldivers 1. Players suspect that the cyborgs are the creators of the robots.

After the players completely eliminated the front line of the robots, a much larger army of automatons attacked Cyberstan. We still do not know if there is a connection between the robots and the cyborgs, but this attack certainly fueled the theory. This could have been a deliberate decision by Joel to give the players something to ponder.

In the meantime, Helldivers 2 has also released a video that shows Joel at work. However, the video is meant to be humorous and gives the Game Master special abilities. More about this can be found on MeinMMO: Helldivers 2 shows the almighty Joel for the first time in a video, and he actually has superhuman powers

Helldivers 2: Player kicks friendly helper and screams at him for hugging the wrong person

Helldivers 2 players help newcomers with difficult missions using their experience and are kicked and shouted at for it.

Who is the friendly helper? The Reddit user “deathsnipez” is an experienced Helldivers player, with a level of 103. In a post on the social network, he writes that he enjoys diving into adventures with random teammates and helping newcomers get to know the game during missions.

But as the experienced Helldivers player reports, this time he helped the wrong person, as he was rewarded with shouting and a kick.

Feel free to check out the trailer for the new war bond “Flame of Freedom”.

Start video
Helldivers 2 shows in the new war bond ‘Flame of Freedom’ fiery democracy

What led to the shouting? The experienced “Helldivers 2” player saw that a squad of three fairly new players with levels 32, 21, and 3 was on a mission of difficulty 7. He joined them and helped. He noticed that the two higher-level players were distancing themselves from the player with the lowest level and that this player was struggling to defeat the enemies. So, “deathsnipez” rushed to assist the level-3 player.

Normally, the experienced helper does not use voice chats, he writes in the post on Reddit, but the squad’s newbie was so panicked that he explained some things in voice chat. In the end, the team successfully completed the mission, and everything went well, so they went on another mission together. There, the same thing happened again: the two higher-level players separated from the newbie, and the Reddit user rushed to help.

After completing the second mission, the Reddit user used the shooter’s hug emote and hugged his three teammates. Then he was suddenly shouted at by the level-32 player and subsequently kicked from the squad.

Why was he shouted at and kicked? The shouting player accused the Reddit user of making advances towards his girlfriend – the level-3 player – claiming he followed her all over the map and only helped her and not the team.

Then came the kick.

What does the community say about the incident? Players want to give him the hug he deserves and support him. Some even recognize the friendly player from their own shared missions and thank him for his help:

  • “OMG I finally found you! This Helldiver was incredible! I played a few weeks ago and had the best time, and you made sure me and my friends had a lot to laugh about. Thanks for helping us!!!” (via reddit)
  • “That sounds like a boyfriend who realizes that you’ve treated his girlfriend better than he does and has to stop the good example before she notices.” (via reddit)
  • “That sounds like he is 13. It’s best not to invest too much energy into it, see it as immature behavior of a child in video games.” (via reddit)

Overall, many players positively acknowledge the Helldiver for helping new and inexperienced players – this is not a given in the community of the co-op shooter. Some squads even kick new players from the lobby instead of explaining the game to them. However, this behavior has been sharply criticized by other players: “If you kick low-level players, you are just bad” – Helldivers 2 community criticizes player behavior

Xbox delays Avowed – 2024 still has these potential highlights for role-playing game fans

The people in charge of Team Xbox are postponing the role-playing game Avowed to February 2025. Nevertheless, all RPG fans can look forward to various other potential highlights in this gaming year 2024.

Wait, Avowed is not coming out in 2024 after all? Exactly! The new role-playing game from Obsidian Entertainment (Pillars of Eternity, Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds) has a new release date and is set to be released on February 18, 2025. The reason given by the Xbox team via X is:

“So many games are being released! That’s why we are moving Avowed to February 18, 2025, to give all gamers’ backlogs a breather.”

The good news: Even though we are already in August, the gaming year still has several other potential highlights in store for all role-playing game fans. Below, MeinMMO presents the most promising RPGs of the coming months that already have a fixed release date.

[toc]

The remaining schedule for MMORPGs in 2024

As MeinMMO regularly keeps you updated on upcoming online role-playing games, you will find below a “just” brief overview of the key dates for MMORPG fans in the remaining year 2024:

Additionally, both Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen and Corepunk are set to enter their respective early access phases in 2024, and final launches for Blue Protocol and Brighter Shores are planned (without specific dates yet).

Upcoming RPG highlights for 2024

Away from the MMORPGs, towards action RPGs and more classic role-playing games. The MeinMMO editorial team has cast a particularly interested eye on the following role-playing games.

Black Myth: Wukong

  • Action role-playing game with Souls elements
  • Developer: Game Science
  • Publisher: Game Science
  • Release date: August 20, 2024
  • Platforms: PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5 (the version for Xbox Series has been postponed, with no date yet)

Black Myth: Wukong is based on the Chinese novella “Journey to the West” and you will take on the role of the famous Monkey King. He uses different staff techniques as well as spells, transformations, and magical vessels in combat.

With Visions of Mana, you can expect the first new installment of the venerable Mana series in more than 15 years. The footsteps of Mystic Quest and Secret of Mana are big but have also become quite worn over time.

However, the developers want to return to the roots and present you with a colorful, semi-open world where exploration is important, and you engage in action-packed battles. If you’re interested, you can already try out the quite extensive demo version.

Developers of Helldivers 2 are surprised because you chose children instead of weapons

The developers of Helldivers 2 thought you would let kids die to get new mines, but you “surprised and delighted” them.

What’s the deal with the kids? In June 2024, a new general order presented the players of Helldivers 2 with a nasty choice: They could either secure resources for the production of anti-tank mines or save sick children. They could not save both.

The players chose to save the sick children. Subsequently, the developers of the shooter donated money to the charity “Save the Children” – in response to the heroic decision of the community.

However, some players are now unsure whether saving the children was the right choice, because with the update on August 6 a new tank will reinforce the robots in combat.

Here you can see the trailer for the new update – including the new enemy tank:

Developers thought you would save the mines instead of the children

What do the developers say? The developers of Helldivers 2 talked about saving the children in a new community update.

The team was reportedly surprised by the players’ decision:

In truth, we probably thought the players would choose the mines. We are aware of the joke that not choosing the mines has caused (e.g., “it’s fun to keep missing them”), but this seemed like an easy win to grant the community the missing stratagem. Instead, this was one of those truly incredible moments in which the community surprised and delighted us.

Arrowhead via Steam

Subsequently, the developers thanked the players for the donations they sent to “Save the Children” and made it clear how much they appreciate the community of the loot shooter: “You are truly amazing, Helldivers.”

Even though the players chose the children over the mines in June, they might still receive the useful equipment now – whether they want it or not: Helldivers 2 now threatens you with equipment that you continually reject if you do not kill 1.5 billion opponents in time

Diablo 4: All new legendaries in Season 5 overview

Season 5 brings not only Uniques to Diablo 4, but also numerous new legendary aspects. What they are and what effects they have, you will find out here on MeinMMO.

What is the deal with Legendarys? Legendarys have 3 affixes and a legendary aspect that turn them into legendary equipment. Affixes support you with certain bonuses, like ranks on specific skills, more armor, or increased critical hit chance. Aspects, on the other hand, give you certain effects that can enhance your builds.

Aspects are divided into different categories:

  • Defensive
  • Offensive
  • Resource
  • Versatility
  • Mobility

In Season 5, the developers are adjusting the Uniques and almost completely reworking them. They want to make the items special again. Additionally, 15 new Uniques are coming to the game. But also new Legendarys are entering Diablo 4 in Season 5. Which ones they are, you will find out below.

Where do I get Legendarys? The legendary aspects listed here can be obtained in the new endgame activity “Hell Hordes”. Other Legendarys drop from pretty much every activity you can do in Diablo 4. If you find Legendarys, you can equip them or dismantle them at the blacksmith. If you dismantle them, the legendary aspects go into your Codex of Power. You can then imprint, improve, and exchange them on Legendarys with the Occultist.

Since Season 5, the drop rates for Legendarys during the Hell Surge, in Nightmare Dungeons, and in the Hell Hordes after level 100 have increased. The Hell Hordes are the new season theme and the new endgame activity in Season 5. More about this can be found here: Diablo 4: Hell Hordes – All about quests, compasses, and loot in the new endgame activity

The First Descendant: Kuiper farming with the best locations – This is how it’s done quickly

In The First Descendant, besides Gold, Kuiper is one of the currencies you need to improve yourselves. We will show you the best places to farm Kuiper in our guide.

How to farm Kuiper quickly: There are three fast and effective ways to farm Kuiper in The First Descendant. Focus on the following options:

  • Abandoned Refinery Unit in Echo Swamp
  • Kuiper Mine in Barren Lands
  • Valby Run in “The Defense Line: Strategic Outpost of the Vulgus”

In all options, the goal is to defeat enemies quickly and in large numbers to collect Kuiper. The Kuiper Mine is also great if you want to farm XP, as you can defeat many enemies at once.

The Valby Run at the outpost is also a good option, but you will need either Bunny or Valby as Descendants to farm efficiently. Additionally, the method has been nerfed and is more worthwhile if you want to prioritize gold while farming.

The best option for quickly farming Kuiper is the Abandoned Refinery Unit in Echo Swamp. Per run, you can acquire up to 3000-4000 Kuiper here in less than a minute – if you’re fast.

If you farm a lot and have a large collection of modules that you own in duplicates and triplicates, feel free to dismantle some of them. You will then receive a certain amount of Kuiper credited to you.

The new Descendant “Luna” can be found here in the trailer:

What do I need Kuiper for? You need Kuiper shards to improve your modules for your weapons and Descendants. Without the currency, you cannot enhance them.

Which Descendants are strong for farming Kuiper? That depends on which farming method you pursue. However, the following Descendants could turn out to be good options:

Besides Descendants, it’s also worth looking at your External Components. These items, which you can socket into your Descendants, come with certain effects that can increase your drop rate when farming Kuiper and gold.

These were all the important infos to quickly and easily get Kuiper at the moment. Which methods do you use and which Descendant is claimed for that? Let us know in the comments. To quickly get gold, you can find a short guide here: The First Descendant: Gold farming quickly and easily – The currently best method

Rockstar reveals little about GTA 6, a former developer says: “It’s better if they remain silent”

So far, there is only little information about the highly anticipated GTA 6. A former developer from Rockstar believes he knows why the studio is being so tight-lipped about the development.

What is the status of GTA 6? It will be a while before we can enter the presumably vast world of GTA 6. As it stands now, the game will be released in the fall of 2025.

The first trailer caused a stir and significantly boosted the hype. It already showcased the game world and the two protagonists, a gangster couple that will unsettle the fictional state of Leonida.

Aside from that, there have been leaks that have brought parts of the game to the public. Rockstar itself, however, remains silent and reveals little about their upcoming blockbuster. A former employee understands why the studio is behaving this way.

Start video

“It’s better if they stay silent”

Which employee is being referred to? Obbe Vermeij is a former employee of Rockstar Games. According to GTA Fandom, he worked as a Technical Director for the studio from 1995 to 2009 and contributed to GTA Vice City, San Andreas, and also part 4.

He knows the inner workings of the company and explains why he can understand Rockstar’s silence:

I can fully understand why they do this, because every time a big company says something, whether it’s Rockstar, EA, Ubisoft, or whatever, it gets analyzed and often received negatively. From their perspective, it is therefore best if they keep their mouths shut

Obbe Vermeij via vidaextra.com

The public and their hasty reactions to news are partly to blame for why Rockstar reveals so little. “It’s better if they stay silent,” Vermeij believes.

What about the leaks? The leaks that brought material to the public in 2022 and also recently are “usually not such a big deal,” says the developer. However, he can understand the public’s excitement about them.

Given the few pieces of information Rockstar gives to players, the immense interest is understandable. Every new bit of information is therefore gratefully received, even if it comes in the form of leaks. Obbe Vermeij also has bad news for you: He thinks GTA 6 could disappoint players on the first day.

Once Human: Players complain about the servers and call for inactive users to be deleted

Once Human is facing criticism from frustrated players who want to play together with their friends on a server. The problem: There are too many servers and too little space on them.

What is the criticism? Once Human has been struggling with problems repeatedly. Especially the servers are causing frustration among players. On one hand, they are too small and fill up quickly – so obviously no new players can join.

But according to the community, the number of servers is also a problem. There simply are not enough players to fill the many servers properly. But where exactly lies the problem?

Start video
Is it worth starting with Once Human when the reset is coming soon?

Inactive players block server spots

What do the players say? User xAthes describes the problem on Reddit. Initially, the limited spots on the servers are a big problem. Especially because many of them are occupied by players who aren’t actively playing Once Human.

There are many accounts that have no interest in playing the game regularly and only check in for one or two runs. Even worse are the players who are no longer playing at all. The Reddit user SleepingFishOCE demands in a separate Reddit post that such players simply be deleted.

xAthes describes how he often has to wait over an hour before he can join a group. The many servers lack active players. The kills the game and raises the question of why there aren’t fewer, but larger servers. After all, Once Human is a multiplayer game. xAthes asks: “Why are there so many worlds?”

Is there a solution? xAthes has found his own solution. He tries to join a fresh server whenever possible, meaning one that is only a day old. There he usually finds many active players. How you can switch worlds and servers, you can read on MeinMMO.

However, just a week later the situation looks different. Again, many are inactive and the multiplayer fun is missing. This frustrates him and other users. They are calling on the developers to rethink the server system:

  • “What annoys me is that I am a very busy father. I love the game, but what good does it do me to invest time and effort into a game that I can never play through a whole season?”, writes kevlarbuns on Reddit.
  • “The biggest problem for me is that I have to start over every time a friend wants to play because the servers are locked,” describes Spexan on Reddit.
  • “I haven’t seen a single player on my server since the first day of Phase 1,” tells blyndluckomega on Reddit.

The server system of Once Human continues to attract attention among players. Whether and how the developers will address the problem remains to be seen. MeinMMO editor Dariusz Müller has described in a separate article what bothers him about the system and what his experiences were.

Space weather up to solar storms: Auroras, GPS disruptions, and power outages, the possible consequences are diverse

The sun is far more than just a provider of light. It can also pose immense danger to our society. What is space weather and how does it affect our planet and everyday technology? We explain it to you.

What are solar storms? They are energetic events of immense power that plunge into Earth’s orbit. In 2024, we were hit by a solar storm that was expelled into space from a connected network of sunspots (AR 3664). But in 1859, it was much worse:

Back then, during the so-called Carrington event (named after the astronomer who described it), telegraph lines worldwide caught fire, northern lights (also called auroras) were visible far into lower latitudes, and technicians suffered burns.

In 2024, the damages were less severe, but the range of possible consequences includes GPS disruptions or even complete outages of navigation services, damage to power grids, and even a collapse of the internet.

One thing is clear: space weather is a danger. Let’s delve deeper into plasma and radiation storms: What exactly are they and what chaos can they cause?

Meanwhile, the sun, in its various forms, also plays a prominent role in Star Citizen. Here is the continually impressive trailer for the story campaign Squadron 42 for you. Anyone who likes science fiction should at least take a look at the combined MMO single-player experience.

Start video
Star Citizen shows the campaign Squadron 42 in the trailer

Once again, we got away with it lightly, didn’t we?

What happened in 2024? From the sunspot group named AR 3664 (via Austria Presse Agentur), large amounts of material and radiation escaped. A similar event occurred in 1859.

However, the damages were limited; there were widespread disruptions to satellites and other radio-dependent systems. The GPS was disrupted for a while or at least far less accurate than usual, which hindered commercial uses, including agriculture.

Furthermore, satellites were thrown off course due to changes in atmospheric drag (warming and expansion of the atmosphere), which is now being corrected.

Is that all? It’s harmless, right? The reason why we came through relatively unscathed this time, despite a multitude of electrically powered technology in orbit, atmosphere, and on the ground, is still being investigated by science. But in general, our standards for protecting networks today are much higher than in the days of telegraph lines. This also helps against specific events like solar storms.

Solar storms can cause chaos

Goodbye Internet? It could have theoretically turned out badly. Permanent damage to satellites or electrical systems can have serious everyday consequences (via Astronomy.com). Aside from widespread power outages for hours or even days due to burnt-out transformers, communication could collapse.

Because not only radio or GPS signals can be interrupted. Even undersea cables are susceptible to induced currents, which would disrupt connections between servers.

The consequences of historical solar storms are listed in this slide from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) for Solar-Terrestrial Physics.

Some examples of the consequences of extreme space weather. Source: DLR for Solar-Terrestrial Physics

What can we do for protection? Varies depending on the area. For example, NASA secured the instruments of the “Chandra” X-ray observatory of the U.S. space agency in recent days to literally take them out of the firing line.

But in general, solar storms and their effects remain a research field of great importance. In any case, continuous observation is essential, as this is the only way to warn services dependent on satellite technology in time.

What is space weather?

Space weather is simply everything that happens with the atmosphere and the magnetic field of the Earth when the sun or other cosmic sources interact with it. The main field of this interaction is the ionosphere. Since 1994, solar-terrestrial processes have been referred to as space weather.

Sunspots: Every eleven years, our sun goes through a cycle at the end of which its magnetic field flips. At the end of 2024, solar maximum is again expected, during which sunspots are most numerous. They represent cooler regions from which the sun expels more material and emits radiation.

Auroras: A significant consequence of solar storms can be auroras, also known as northern lights. They occur when solar material interacts with the upper atmosphere of the Earth. They predominantly occur in higher latitudes but can also appear significantly farther south, for example, over Germany during more intense events.

You can get a deeper overview of everything discussed here in this presentation by a scientist from the DLR for Solar-Terrestrial Physics:

What weather situations are there?

  • Radiation and solar wind: Both are always present. The sun constantly distributes enormous amounts of radiation (including visible light) and charged particles, the solar wind. Our magnetic field protects us reliably from this.
    • Radiation takes about eight minutes for the journey.
    • The charged particles (plasma clouds) take about three days during quiet space weather.
  • Solar flares: Strong increase in short-wavelength, high-energy radiation. It is simply higher-energy light than usual.
  • Solar storm, also called coronal mass ejection: Dramatically intensified and also faster solar wind, which is why there is often only about one day of forecast time. These plasma clouds can be devastating. The Carrington event described at the beginning and what AR 3664 produced were solar storms.

By the way, the next cosmic victim could be Mars. As the sun has turned further, the sunspot group AR 3664 is now aimed at our red brother planet. Anyone interested in an interesting building game on Mars should take a look at Terraformers.

Currently, the title is even on sale for around ten euros on Steam. There you will take turns to build a colony to ensure the long-term survival and eventual prosperity of the new community on the mostly dead planet. Skilled resource management is essential for this.

Steam: Streamer is insulted and trolled by her teammates in CS2 because she is a woman

A streamer is insulted by her teammates, bombarded with flashbangs, and shot in Counter-Strike 2.

What happened to the streamer? A small streamer named “limepurp” posted a two-minute compilation of a match in Counter-Strike 2 on Reddit. She wrote: “Stop throwing games because there is a woman on your team.” A “thrown game” is referred to as a match that was lost despite having a chance to win.

The clip shows how some team members of the streamer ruin the game. It all started because limepurp was playing the SCAR-20. The streamer got 2 kills, which made her initially think her opponents were angry. Then she realized it was a teammate who wrote “Dumb Bitch” in the chat.

She replied that he was just mad because he was at the bottom of the scoreboard. After that, the player shot at the streamer, bombarded her with flashbangs, and continued to insult her. The insults were always directed against the fact that she is a woman.

“Valorant is not as bad as this game”

Streamer compares to Valorant: In the stream, limepurp then talked about her experiences as a woman in Valorant, the major competitor of CS2. A viewer wrote that Valorant is the exact opposite. The streamer then replied: “Valorant is not as bad as this game”

Subsequently, limepurp explained that she has also experienced such behavior in Valorant. While most players are relaxed in both Valorant and Counter-Strike, she estimates that she has such experiences in about 20% of all CS2 matches. In Valorant, she estimates it to be “only” about 10 percent.

Valorant is also considered a game with a very toxic community and is often compared to Counter-Strike due to some gameplay similarities. Also, in Valorant, some women have reported bad behavior from other players that they experienced because of their gender.

A case that gained attention involved the streamer TaylorMorgan. She was asked in Valorant if she knew what it felt like to be raped. She then asked Riot Games that such players should receive a permanent hardware ban.

In other games like World of Warcraft, women are kicked from groups and continue to have bad experiences.

To understand the experiences of female gamers, several streamers pretended to be women in an online experiment and were shocked by the results: 3 Twitch streamers pretend to be women in voice chat, shocked by the reactions: “It takes away the joy of playing”

Destiny 2: Edge of Redemption – Raid Guide to All Phases

In Destiny 2, you can play the raid “Edge of Salvation” since the release of “The Final Shape.” It is one of the most complicated raids in all of Destiny, but with our explanations, you too will be able to master the raid.

What kind of guide is this? In our guide, we will go through all phases of the raid “Edge of Salvation”. We explain each phase in detail, show you the best division, and also give you tips and tricks that can make your run smoother. The raid has the following five phases:

[toc]

With our provided directory, you can quickly jump to the individual phases you need at the moment. So let’s move on to the first phase: The Monoliths.

You can find the trailer for the new raid “Edge of Salvation” here:

Start video
Destiny 2: The Final Shape „Edge of Salvation“ Raid Trailer

First Encounter: Monoliths

Division: Two teams of three Guardians each – Team Left and Team Right.

How does the encounter work? In the first encounter, there is a main room in the center and eight side rooms around the main room. When one of the players picks up the resonance (hologram pyramid) in the main room and puts it in the box, two passages that are next to each other open up, and the encounter begins.

Destiny-2-Start-Phase-1
You start the phase when you put the resonance in the box

Both teams (right and left) take the passage designated for their team and stay in their respective directions. Now, the important thing is to clear the side rooms of enemies as quickly as possible and destroy the Hydras – as they block the progress of the other team.

Eventually, you will encounter an Overload Minotaur. Both teams must defeat their Minotaur to then meet in the main room and fight a Tormentor. Once you’ve accomplished that, you need to repeat the process until you can again take down a Tormentor in the main room.

Once defeated, the teams must now find a glowing plate on their sides. One member of each team now stays at the glowing plate, while the other two members must find the connected plate with the Monolith. Once that’s done, the glowing plate sends a signal to the non-glowing one.

The third player of each team helps by destroying enemies and collecting resonances that spawn in the main room. Note that each player can carry up to three resonances. If you pick up more, you will die. Communication between the players at the plates is particularly important.

When a player wants to activate the glowing plate, they do so by briefly standing on it and then stepping off again. Communicate this with your partner so they can activate their plate at the right moment. The right moment comes when the signal has transferred to your plate. The glowing, pulsing circle represents the last moment you should not miss.

If you miss the timing, an Underling will spawn in the main room that you need to defeat – so stay alert. As you send your signals back and forth, a resonance will appear after each successful transmission that you can collect. Once each player has collected enough resonances, you need to close the Monolith.

To close the Monolith, the player in the same room must shoot the plate while waiting for their last plate signal to be sent. Activate the plate one last time, and the Monolith will close. All players now meet in the main room to defeat an Underling and then put all the resonances collected during the process into the box.

By storing the resonances, your timer extends so that you do not get wiped. You will need to go through this phase up to three times to succeed.

Tips for the Encounter:

  • Use builds that can defeat enemy groups quickly.
  • Bring weapons that can stun overload champions.
  • Communication is important, so especially the plate guardians should talk to each other.
  • Only close the Monoliths when you have collected enough resonances.
  • Pay attention to high resilience and the right mods to withstand heavy fire.

This was the first encounter. On page 2, the second encounter will come your way.

Twitch: „When I have internet problems, Telekom calls me“ – Trymacs is considered a VIP by his provider

While many Twitch streamers regularly struggle with the pitfalls of their internet providers, well-known streamer Trymacs reports an extraordinary treatment by Telekom that he can hardly believe himself.

Who is Trymacs? Maximilian Stemmler, better known by his online pseudonym Trymacs, is considered one of the biggest names on the German streaming platform Twitch. Since the beginning of his career, he has mainly made a name for himself through mobile games by Supercell, such as Clash of Clans and Clash Royale.

The Hamburger is known for regularly planning large projects where he invites other streamers. One example is a recently launched fitness challenge, where he and his colleagues try to become more athletic again.

“I have my own advisor, I can always call her”

What status does the streamer enjoy? In one of his recent streams, Trymacs talks about a surprising experience with Telekom. He recalls that he called Telekom some time ago. To his surprise, he was immediately assigned a personal contact. “I have my own advisor, I can always call her,” he says proudly.

This special treatment is completely new to him, and he cannot explain why he suddenly enjoys VIP status. “I have never worked with Telekom before,” he emphasizes.

Curious as he is, Trymacs asks Telekom why he is classified as a VIP. However, even there they cannot give him a clear answer. His only explanation is that someone must have put him on a VIP list.

How can one become a VIP with an internet provider? Trymacs himself does not know how he was admitted to Telekom’s VIP program, and there are no clear indications on the internet regarding the existence or joining of such a program. It remains unclear whether he is referring to Magenta Moments or if there is a “secret” program for this VIP status.

However, according to the community, there are some indications on how to become a VIP with an internet provider. Customers who are particularly loyal, spend a lot, or have a high public presence are often automatically elevated to this status.

The VIP status likely comes with numerous advantages: prioritized and faster customer service, exclusive offers and discounts, early access to new products and services, and dedicated contacts available for issues and questions.

Two years of Magenta TV gifted

What benefits does the streamer have? The VIP status at Telekom brings Trymacs several significant advantages. “When I have internet issues, Telekom calls me […] and they immediately apologize,” he reports.

But the benefits do not stop here. Trymacs tells another anecdote that underlines his special treatment by Telekom. When his girlfriend calls Telekom to get information about Magenta TV for the soccer EM, they receive a surprising offer. “We got 2 years of Magenta TV for free,” he says, laughing.

For Trymacs, the reason for his preferential treatment by Telekom remains a mystery. But while other streamers continue to struggle with technical issues and the customer service of their internet providers, Trymacs can enjoy this unexpected luxury.

The creators of the series The Last of Us release a trailer for season 2, confirming the release period

After the spectacular first season of the series adaptation of The Last of Us, fans are eagerly awaiting season 2. Max has now released a trailer for its series that will premiere in 2024 and 2025. Among them is a short teaser for season 2.

What can be seen in the trailer? In the trailer, Joel justifies that he had to protect Ellie. He is seen multiple times with a blonde woman to whom he is justifying himself. The conversation is accompanied by several scenes that reveal what will be featured in season 2:

  • The dance scene with Ellie and Dina in the festively decorated hall will be a topic.
  • Several people storm a fortress in a snowstorm. This might be Jackson.
  • The Seraphites (also known as Scars), who communicate with whistles, are seen in the woods.
  • A sad Dina with a lamp is seen.
  • Ellie is featured in some action-packed scenes.
  • The Clickers are a must and are represented in the teaser trailer.

We also see how the actress playing Dina steps into her role. Bella Ramsey is back as Ellie and will continue to be in the spotlight in season 2.

Unfortunately, the teaser is only 24 seconds long. The images rush by so quickly that most scenes only last a few moments. However, the teaser already builds anticipation for the upcoming long trailer.

In an emotional moment in Jujutsu Kaisen, we learn that the worst fears of fans are true

The story of Jujutsu Kaisen will end in 2024. Mangaka Gege Akutami has confirmed that he will complete the manga this year. However, he probably has to clear up some unresolved questions that linger in the minds of the fans.

Which character is involved? The Shibuya Incident Arc has taken the lives of numerous characters. However, it was not entirely clear whether one person survived. Nobara Kugisaki, who formed a team with Yuji and Megumi under Gojo, was severely injured in the battle against Mahito. 

  • She lost part of her face during the fight and lay motionless on the ground. 
  • Her wounds looked fatal, but another student named Arata Nitta tried to heal her.
  • In a conversation, he mentioned that Nobara might be dead.

But this “might” has given many fans hope that Nobara could have survived the situation. As it turns out in the current chapter, this is rather unlikely. 

There is even a movie for Jujutsu Kaisen:

Start video
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 – The trailer for the feature film of the Shonen anime

Nobara is one of the victims of the Shibuya Arc

How was her death confirmed? Normally, the death of characters in the anime is confirmed by a funeral, a conversation, or the autopsy of the body. In Nobara’s case, she was not heard from for over 100 chapters, even though she was one of the main characters. 

Yuji is currently preparing to use his Domain Expansion. He talks about how aware he has become that life is important. The moment feels very emotional. In the background, there are some people visible who were important to him and who have since passed away.

Unfortunately, Nobara is also among the people that many users on X are now mourning. X user RamXT5 writes that Nobara is gone forever:

Is there a possibility that she could return? There is still a last glimmer of hope. It has been revealed that Yuji was intentionally kept from some information due to the fear that Sukuna might rummage through his memories (via Screen Rant).

One piece of information could be that Nobara somehow survived. That way, Sukuna might never find out that she could be a potential opponent for him. Given the depiction in the manga, this scenario seems rather unlikely. The two were talking about a plan to help Yuji in battle, not about which individuals might have survived.

One way or another, it is nice to see what an important part she was for Yuji and that her passing is honored in his memories. Unfortunately, the end of Jujutsu Kaisen is already looming, so not much time would be left to confirm her death: The mangaka of Jujutsu Kaisen sacrifices epilogue to ensure his plan for the finale works out

LoL pro Faker totally escalates after a loss, fans are worried: ‘I believe he needs a break’

Faker is probably the most legendary player in League of Legends. Normally, he acts cool and professional. However, in T1’s last game, things looked different. They lost, and Faker reacted emotionally. So much so that his teammates had to hold him back.

Which match is this about? On August 3, 2024, T1 played against Gen.G in the LCK 2024 Summer Split. As Dexerto reports, the first game wasn’t too bad for T1 until Faker got caught multiple times. The second match also went to Gen.G after some minor mistakes from T1’s side.

Since only a best-of-3 is being played here, T1 lost the match 2:0. In a clip, T1 is seen watching a replay of the games. Faker gets emotional and starts hitting his head against the wall repeatedly. He only stops when his teammates hold him back. Such emotional displays are rarely seen from the professional.

More about Faker’s legacy can be seen here:

Start video

Fans Are Worried

How does the community react to Faker? While some fans complain about his performance, as has happened before with T1, others are also worried about the player. In a reddit thread, users express their concerns.

  • VirtuoSol: Honestly, it’s a bit scary that Faker is doing something like this. He holds very high expectations for himself, and the fact that he has repeatedly been unable to meet those expectations recently must be extremely frustrating for him. Hopefully, the players get the peace they need.
  • captainhottakes: Very sad, I think he needs a break. It would probably be difficult to convince him of that.
  • Wolfelle: Holy shit. No one deserves to feel that way. Hopefully, he’s okay.

The LCS caster Azael also spoke out on x.com. He says he is alarmed to see Faker like this. He explains that the pressure on professionals and their performance is enormously high, especially when it has been going on for as long as it has for Faker.

The status of T1 and Faker, of course, adds another layer of pressure from fans on all their games. He is the personality of the LoL esports that probably everyone knows.

Of course, losing to Gen.G is additionally bitter for T1. In the Spring Playoffs 2024, T1 already lost the finals against this rival. In 2023 as well, T1 lost the Summer and Spring Playoffs to Gen.G. Despite tough phases, T1 is always good for surprises. The team also won Worlds 2023 against BLG, who eliminated Gen.G early in the Worlds.
