The Hitman trilogy has just received a hefty discount on Steam, but it’s not as good as it seems at first glance.
What kind of game is this? It is about Hitman: World of Assassination, which combines Hitman 1–3 along with the roguelike mode “Freelancer”. On Steam, this version of the popular stealth games enjoys a status of “very positive” with 85% recommendations. Normally, the game costs €69.99, while the Deluxe Edition costs even €99.99.
Anyone who has the game on their wish list, or types it into the search on Steam, is currently surprised by a price of €2.99 – but the discount is not as good as it seems at first glance.

Misleading discount and complicated purchase
What is the problem? The 90% discount only applies to Hitman: WoA Part One, which normally costs €29.99. However, this only becomes apparent when you visit the store page for the game. A user complains about this in the Steam subreddit by saying, “This should not be allowed.”
It is unclear to what extent the developers can do anything about how the price is displayed. It is entirely possible that this results from an unfortunate meeting of Steam’s system with the admittedly somewhat complex pricing structure of the game. Nevertheless, the experience remains frustrating for the user.
The true price is not visible in the search fieldThe disillusionment follows on the store page
However, the somewhat misleading discount is only part of the problem, as Hitman: WoA is notorious for having the entire purchase process unnecessarily complicated. A user explains on Reddit: When people have to create purchase tutorials for your game because you’ve made it so difficult to understand, you should know that you’ve messed up somewhere.
Even though it may seem so, this comment is not exaggerated, as there is indeed a buyer’s guide that you can find in the subreddit for Hitman.
So what do you get for the price? Part One includes, besides free seasonal content and the ICA training missions, the 6 maps from Hitman 1 from 2016. In addition, there are 3 “Deluxe Escalations”.
However, the Freelancer mode and content from Hitman 2 and 3 are behind a paywall and must be purchased separately. The Hitman: WoA Upgrade Pack is currently also discounted and available for €25.19 instead of €39.99 (via Steam).
If you like the offer, you can still get the entire game for under €30 until August 5th.
Fans criticized Star Wars Outlaws due to the suspected map size. Now the developers responded to the criticism and dismissed it as taken out of context.
What did fans criticize about Star Wars Outlaws? In an interview with IGN, the developers of Star Wars Outlaws revealed that the planets in the game are two to three times larger than a zone from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and it would take 5 minutes to traverse them with a speeder.
These statements ultimately led to criticism from fans. Many users initially thought this sounded like a much too small map. The user MattAAW commented under the article on X that the 5 minutes many players got hung up on were a euphemism for an ‘extremely small map.’
Our colleagues from GameStar have already explored the world of Star Wars: Outlaws. You can find out about their experiences with GameStar Plus.

The criticism is unfair and taken out of context
How do the developers respond to the criticism? After the criticism, our colleagues from JeuxVideo spoke with Julian Gerighty, the Creative Director, about the players’ reactions.
He described the reactions as ‘unfair and taken out of context.’ He further explained that the indicated time was merely an estimate of how long it would take to travel in a straight line with a speeder bike without any distractions.
Other players seem to find the current criticism excessive as well. In a Reddit thread by user “spurs_legacy,” the player explained that to him, the quality of the map is more important than the quantity. This view is also shared by several other users.
What can players expect in Star Wars Outlaws? According to Gerighty, players can look forward to a world that offers many activities and is not disappointing due to empty space. The main goal is to create a dense and vibrant world that provides players with an immersive experience where they can immerse themselves for many hours.
The new game mode in Dead by Daylight is really good. Too good, because it creates a new, huge problem that finds no solution.
I am being completely honest: In the last few months, I have played considerably less Dead by Daylight than before. I have kept myself updated, briefly tried out all the killers to understand them and their mechanics – but I haven’t really played it energetically anymore.
That has completely changed with the currently available 2vs8 mode. Here, 2 killers face off against 8 survivors. This is the first time that killers can cooperate and you can team up with a friend to show a few survivors that they actually won’t survive.
Start video
Dead by Daylight – 2v8 explained in detail
Playing killers with someone else is indescribably more relaxing. There are several positive aspects that you suddenly have with 2 killers:
If you lose, that burden is shared by 2 people. You don’t feel as downhearted when things go badly – especially because you are on a team with someone and can think together about how to do better.
A survivor is constantly leading you around by the nose and “triggering” you all the time? Just ignore him. There are 7 other survivors you can probably get to more easily.
Additionally, the game is much simpler to play without perks. I don’t have to consider hundreds of perks in every chase and think about what the survivor might be doing and whether I might accidentally trigger any of their perks. Everyone knows what every other character in the game can do – this applies to both killers and survivors.
Too many killers – no survivors
However, there is a massive problem that is currently dampening the enjoyment of the game. The waiting times are long. Extremely long. At least when you want to play killers. Survivors have virtually “instant invites” and can get started right away.
This is because this type of experience is something new for killers. Whether you play alone or in pairs makes a gigantic difference from the killer’s perspective.
For survivors, this difference is smaller. Whether you have 3 or 7 teammates has only a marginal effect on the course of the game.
This means that there are many more killers who want to try the mode and simply too few survivors. Because it’s clear: Even in 2vs8, there must be four times as many survivors as killers for matches to occur continuously.
And this is exactly where the problem lies. There are far too many killers for far too few survivors. The waiting times for killer pairs often range between 10 and 20 minutes – with a tendency towards 20. That is a bit time-consuming and dampens the enjoyment of the game on the killer’s side somewhat.
400% more bloodpoints for survivors – yet that is not enough of an incentive.
The developer Behaviour has also recognized the problem early and given survivors an additional incentive to sign up: Survivors receive a whopping 400% additional bloodpoints. That is such a massive bonus that you pretty much leave every match with well over 100,000 bloodpoints. Anyone who still wants to level up characters and unlock perks should make use of this now.
However, the bonus has not actually helped to level the playing field. The waiting times are still extremely high.
But I don’t see a solid solution to this. Maybe the mode just needs more time for more people to get used to it and switch back to the survivor side. I am just worried that this massive imbalance could even be a reason to halt the development of the mode – and that would be a shame because I haven’t had as much fun in Dead by Daylight in a long time as I have had in these matches. Even more so than with the best killers that you can currently play in the real game.

The mass layoffs at Bungie, the studio behind Destiny and Halo, are currently occupying the gaming industry. In a major report, renowned journalist Jason Schreier reveals that Bungie may have taken on too much.
What kind of report is this? On the evening of August 2, our time, well-known gaming journalist Jason Schreier published an insider report on Bloomberg regarding the current mass layoffs at Bungie. He spoke with 10 current and former employees of the Destiny developer.
Schreier paints a picture of a studio that has grown too quickly, stretched itself too thin, and reports on the Destiny 3 that never was.
Bungie probably thought they could achieve anything
What was all this about “Bungie Magic”? The “Bungie Magic” is said to have been a mantra of CEO Pete Parsons, whom many employees now accuse of not taking enough responsibility for his misjudgments. Overall, he was described as being “overly optimistic” in his communication with staff.
Apparently, after the acquisition by Sony in 2022, Bungie thought that everything was possible: They hired hundreds of new employees and spread them across a multitude of projects, instead of focusing on Destiny 2, which Schreier referred to as the “chief money maker” or main source of income.
Among the projects were supposed mobile versions of Destiny, remakes of old games, and entirely new franchises.
What went wrong? Bungie’s major problems began to emerge in 2023. The large Lightfall expansion of Destiny 2 did lead to player records, but it left the community disappointed.
The planned extraction shooter Marathon did not come together properly, and the major story finale The Final Shape also required more time than anticipated. By the end of 2023, the dire situation was reportedly discussed in a meeting. Parsons informed the staff that the company had missed its revenue targets by 45% and was losing money.
Bungie subsequently postponed The Final Shape and Marathon, both of which received new leadership. Around 100 employees were laid off.
According to the report, employees hoped that more time for The Final Shape would lead to a better product, but even the positive reviews could not prevent the layoffs that had long been in progress by this time.
In a blog post where Parsons announced the layoffs on July 31, the CEO admitted they had become too large. Instead of “Bungie Magic,” it was said: “We were overly ambitious.”
The expansion The Final Shape was a beacon of hope for the employees:
Start video

Destiny 3 was not canceled – it never existed
What kind of game was this? As Schreier clarifies, a sequel to Destiny 2 was reportedly never in development. Instead, a title called Payback was being worked on, which was to take place in the Destiny universe but would deviate far from the proven formula. Thus, it was more of a spin-off than a sequel.
Payback was said to have adopted elements from Warframe and Genshin Impact. Instead of exploring the world in first person, players were supposed to explore it in third person and cooperate to defeat monsters and solve puzzles. It has now been revealed that the project has been canceled, personnel have been fired, or reassigned to Marathon, which is set to be released in 2025.
What’s next? Destiny 2 is likely to take a different direction with new director Tyson Green, which some of the interviewed employees may view positively. While the “Money Maker” is still supposed to receive updates, it seems that instead of major paid expansions, they want to attract both existing and new players with smaller content drops.
Breaking Bad is rated the best series of all time according to user reviews. However, MeinMMO editor Jasmin Beverungen never really warmed up to the series. As a trained chemist, she had to find out for herself through an experiment that not everything Walter White and Jesse Pinkman create is true.
Breaking Bad is not only one of the best, but probably the best series ever released. In a ranking on Reddit, the biggest rating platforms were compared, and an average score was formed. Breaking Bad comes out as the best series, even ahead of Game of Thrones and Chernobyl.
While I have already seen places 2 and 3 (or am still working on them), I have stopped watching Breaking Bad twice. I never managed to get past the fourth episode.

This may be due to a combination of several factors:
The individual episodes are very long at 45-50 minutes. With many series like Fallout, I didn’t mind if the episodes were close to an hour long. However, with Breaking Bad, it felt a bit stretched for me.
I was told that the series only really picks up pace from the second season. Until then, one apparently has to “struggle through”.
The characters were unsympathetic to me from the start. Of course, I would have had to watch more episodes to wait for the development of the protagonists. However, with many other series, I have at least found one character interesting after just a few episodes.
Unfortunately, the hype never reached me. The series had the best conditions to impress me. Before my time as a journalist, I studied chemistry and even almost earned a doctorate.
Other science series, such as The Big Bang Theory, have therefore stolen my heart by storm. There is obviously a lot of nonsense in TBBT that isn’t true either. I especially remember the laser safety glasses that one would catch two cooked eyeballs with.
But precisely because Breaking Bad strikes a much more serious tone than TBBT, I would have expected that everything, especially on the chemical side, was accurate here. Presumably, the comedy genre is the reason why I forgave TBBT its mistakes more quickly. Unfortunately, I had to discover in an experiment with a “corpse” that not everything is correct in Breaking Bad.
Salami experiment showed me that not everything is true in Breaking Bad
What was that experiment? In the second episode of the first season, which I even saw, a corpse is dissolved in a bathtub. You can watch the scene in the following video from Rotten Tomatoes TV:

To dissolve, the two (hobby) chemists use hydrofluoric acid. This is an extremely dangerous acid that I avoided as much as possible during my studies:
Hydrofluoric acid is a highly toxic substance that can be fatal upon skin contact. It is particularly quickly absorbed by the skin and can thus quickly reach deep skin layers and the bones.
The acid can already dissolve the calcium from the bones and cause severe pain without anything being visible on the skin surface.
In the event of poisoning, a syringe with calcium gluconate solution is therefore available in some laboratories that can be injected into the affected area. This way, the hydrofluoric acid can theoretically react with the calcium from the solution without attacking the bones.
Hydrofluoric acid can therefore dissolve bones particularly well. But what about the fleshy remains? We had posed this question in the trainee laboratory and therefore conducted an experiment that is supposed to recreate the bathtub scene.
In the meantime, there is even a spin-off that I will probably never watch either:
Start video
Better Call Saul – Trailer for the spin-off of Breaking Bad
For the experiment, we used a plastic container, as the hydrofluoric acid would have dissolved our glass equipment. Walter White was right about that. For the experiment, we did not want to use a human corpse, so we used a salami as a substitute.
We found that the salami did not dissolve even after several weeks. Even the concentrated hydrofluoric acid of 40% was not able to break down the salami. I have not gotten over the disappointment to this day.
There are more inconsistencies in the series to prevent imitators. The synthesis steps of Walter White to produce blue crystal meth, for example, are made up.
If you were to try out his synthesis route in the lab, you would not obtain crystal meth that has such a hallucinogenic effect – and certainly not the blue color that is seen in the series.
In that respect, I can understand that the actual synthesis route should not be shown in the series. But with hydrofluoric acid, I would have thought that a similar effect to that in the second episode would be seen here.
A Dota 2 professional has reached a remarkable milestone, but his performance is being controversially discussed. Fans are questioning the authenticity of his success and criticizing the current ranking system of the game.
What milestone has the pro achieved? Talon Esports offlaner Ws has become the first player in Dota 2 worldwide to reach 15,000 MMR. On Facebook, the young pro shares his profile, which shows a value of 15,007 MMR.
However, the supposedly happy news has caused some excitement among fans as users question the authenticity of this achievement.

Pro is said to have taken advantage of tokens
Why do players doubt the success? In a thread on Reddit, the performance of the young professional is being hotly debated. Players criticize the current MMR inflation and the role of Double Down Tokens in Dota 2.
The Double Down Tokens allow players to double their MMR in certain games, which consequently leads to quick climbs. Users like invokerzzv suspect on Reddit that Ws may have taken advantage of this, as he had only 12,000 MMR a month and a half ago.
Players are not necessarily criticizing the pro, but primarily the system surrounding the MMR and are calling for a change.
What do players demand? While many users believe that Ws’ performance should be acknowledged, others are calling for a better ranking system for Dota 2. Especially the use of Double Down Tokens has led to fluctuations in the rankings. In higher ranks, it is said that there are strategically targeted uses of these tokens to climb faster.
Players are therefore demanding a revision of the ranking system to achieve a fairer and more just ranking structure.

Player Tyler1 is one of the most controversial players of League of Legends. And now Riot Games has turned to him to save the declining viewership of the LCS.
Who is this about? This is about Tyler Tyler1 Steinkamp, who is one of the most controversial players of League of Legends. In 2016, the streamer was originally banned for life, as a video on his YouTube channel shows.
This meant he could no longer own a LoL account; otherwise, that would also lead directly to a ban. However, Riot has now turned to Tyler1 to save a specific league.

Tyler1 was too toxic, now he is supposed to boost the viewership
Why was Tyler1 banned? The streamer was banned at the time for extremely toxic behavior. There were instances where he streamed games in which he deliberately lost. This is against the code of conduct of League of Legends. Also, his screaming at his teammates during live streams did not contribute positively to his reputation with Riot.
After his ban, Tyler1 streamed the games of other players and organized tournaments with the community. For this effort and “after 613 days of intensive rehabilitation,” Riot rewarded him in 2018, lifting the ban and giving the streamer a second chance.
Riot is now even taking a step further and is officially collaborating with the streamer, allowing him to co-stream the LCS.
Why is Tyler1 allowed to co-stream the LCS? One factor might be that Tyler1 is among the largest LoL creators worldwide and has built a large audience especially in America. Alone on Twitch, he has over 5 million followers and an average of 15,000 viewers (via sullygnome.com).
However, the main reason for the collaboration is likely the decline in viewership of the LCS. In the North American league, things have not looked too rosy in recent years:
In the Spring Split 2024, there was a peak of 246,000 viewers (via Esports Charts)
In 2019, there were still more than double that with 599,000 viewers (via Esports Charts)
The First Descendant has received its first new descendant since release with Luna. Her playstyle resembles Guitar Hero.
Who is the new heroine? Luna is the new support descendant of The First Descendant. She is both a soldier and a singer. With her musical abilities, Luna can support her teammates on the battlefield. She was introduced with the Patch 1.0.5.
If you haven’t played Luna yet, feel free to check out the first gameplay trailer:
Start video
The First Descendant shows the skills of the new descendant Luna in the gameplay trailer
Why does Luna remind of Guitar Hero? Luna relies on music. One of her abilities is called Stage Presence. When you activate this ability, Luna’s weapon transforms into her unique synthesizer pistol. With the synthesizer pistol, you need to shoot or use skills in time with the music.
This looks like Guitar Hero: Symbols move along a track on your screen from bottom to top, and when these symbols are in your crosshair, you need to shoot or use the desired skill. If you miss the timing when using a skill, the skill fails and the cooldown is activated.
When you shoot or use a skill with the synthesizer pistol in time, it also increases Luna’s inspiration level. When the maximum is reached, a skill can be used in an enhanced variant.
Many players are currently sharing their detailed impressions of the new heroine.
What are players saying about the newest descendant? Luna has a special playstyle that requires you to pay attention to many things at once to use her abilities efficiently. Timing can become difficult, especially in a boss fight. Many fans have mixed opinions and wish for adjustments.
“I think the rhythm element is fine, but the penalties need to be removed. […] Removing penalties reduces the pressure to play the mini-game well and allows for aggressive shooting when necessary.”(via reddit)
“[…] The multitasking is real. Avoid mistakes, position yourself, fight enemies to be as efficient as possible, activate the aura when you can, and pray that you are not too far from the others, all while I play ‘Guitar Hero’.” (via reddit)
“I don’t see her in the meta […] Even if all other characters are better for their roles, I will use her because she is the most fun. However, I understand why people don’t like her[…]”(via reddit)
The main criticism of Luna for many players is that she requires too much attention to various aspects during a battle: your positioning, the position of your teammates, the rhythm… this does not suit every player.
The news is out: Bungie is not doing well. Many positions have been cut and projects shelved, but what does it look like on the Destiny front? Pete Parsons, the CEO of the studio, claims to have retained 850 developers and in this security, the fans of the loot shooter find comfort, but the truth is different.
According to Pete Parsons, the CEO of Bungie, however, a large part of the developers has been retained. Only a few teams were affected, but with the capacity they still have, they can manage Destiny 2 and Marathon.
Fans are trying to comfort themselves with this knowledge and hope that Destiny 2 can still continue to exist. However, when looking at the developers actually laid off by Bungie, the future of the loot shooter does not look promising.
Will there still be a future after these events?

The key figures of Destiny have been fired
What have fans discovered? While a large portion of fans on Reddit are trying to feel happy that not many Destiny developers were supposedly affected, one user summarized which employees were actually affected by the layoffs. The following are known:
Their contribution is nonsense. Just from Twitter people who work at Bungie, I have seen that more than 12 positions related to Destiny have been cut so far. This is my ongoing list:
All these links lead you to the statements from the developers who were laid off. Pete Parsons was right, many leading figures have been affected, but they were also responsible for important things in the loot shooter.
Key staff for audio and the story of Destiny 2 were victims of the debacle – who were even involved in the success of The Final Shape. Also, well-known veterans like Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy of Destiny, who have been involved from the beginning, are no longer at Bungie.
One could argue that there are still 850 experts left who will work together on Destiny 2 and Marathon, but when looking at which positions have been cut, the question arises how Bungie plans to achieve this.
If we are to believe the insider information from Jeff Grubb (via youtube.de), then it does not look good. In a podcast with Jan Ochoa, they talked about the current situation at Bungie. Destiny 2 was briefly mentioned, and according to him, the team is no longer discussing expansions.
According to him, there will only be “content packs” for players to look forward to. What this means is still unclear, as is how much actual content will be included in these packs.
However, one can assume that the contents of these packs will be smaller than what players were originally used to. In the past, quality and substantial content have been what Destiny players want. If Bungie or Sony decides against this and invests more resources into Marathon, it will surely harm Destiny in the short or long term. It could even go so far that Destiny might completely die. A slow and undeserved end.
What do you believe Bungie will do next? Do you think Destiny 2 still has a chance, or has the end of The Final Shape really marked the beginning of the end?

Many eyes are currently on the Olympic Games in Paris. Here, the best athletes in the world showcase their skills. Among exciting matches and less pleasant news, one team stands out, currently attracting a lot of attention with an anime song.
What kind of song is that? The Japanese volleyball team seems to consist of many anime fans. Before their match against Argentina, the volleyball players warmed up to an opening from the anime Haikyu!!.

But that’s not all: the anime was also present during the match itself. Every time Japan scored a point, one of the most famous songs from the anime, Fly High, played. There’s also a video that we don’t want to withhold from you:
The song likely helped Japan win the volleyball match. After the victory over Argentina, “Fly High” played again, to which the Japanese team celebrated.
Some fans even noticed that there was an amazing parallel to the manga. During the final arc, the Japanese team faces off against Argentina.

On August 3, 2024, there will be a new raid event featuring Mega Rayquaza in Pokémon GO. Here you will find tips for the event.
What kind of event is this? In June 2024, there was a top raid event with Mega Rayquaza, but due to issues, not enough specimens appeared for many trainers.
Therefore, there will be a substitute event on August 3, 2024, which is basically better than the original. Because: The powerful Mega Rayquaza will appear in regular raids, not in top raids.
This means you can challenge the Pokémon through remote raids if you don’t have one nearby. Alternatively, you can invite friends to support you if you are missing players.
In this article, we will show you some tips for the raid day with Mega Rayquaza.

What is the Meteorite for? If you defeat Mega Rayquaza, you will receive only one encounter with the normal Rayquaza plus Mega Energy. However, you need something else to perform the Mega Evolution: the Meteorite.
This item allows Rayquaza to learn the move “Zenith Blaster,” which triggers the Mega Evolution in conjunction with the Mega Energy.
The Meteorite will be available on Saturday in a free, limited research. Therefore, you should definitely complete this to obtain the Meteorite.
There is also a small chance that captured Rayquaza from the Mega Raid will give you a Meteorite. However, the research is the guaranteed way to get the item.
Use the right counters against Mega Rayquaza
What type is strong against Mega Rayquaza? Mega Rayquaza has weaknesses against Ice, Rock, Dragon, and Fairy-type attacks, with Ice being particularly effective.
Therefore, you should use monsters of this type, such as:
(Shadow) Mamoswine
Mega Glaceon
Mega Rayquaza
Colava
Glaceon
(Shadow) Snorunt
And similar monsters. Also, a Mewtwo with Ice Beam can deal significant damage.
Pay attention to this CP: Many trainers are searching for a four-star Rayquaza, meaning one with perfect stats. If you want to know if your Rayquaza after the raid is what is called a “Hundo”, look for these CP values:
Otherwise, there are more interesting dates coming up this month. There will be a Community Day, various raid hours, spotlight hours, and more. Additionally, in September there will be a season change, so we are in the last month of the current season “Heavenly Teamwork.” You can find all important dates in August 2024 for Pokémon GO here.

Where can I get the uniques? The uniques drop in Diablo 4 at various endgame activities, including the Infernal Hordes starting from Season 5. For targeted farming of specific items, the bosses you can summon with mats are particularly suitable. If you want to save materials, gather in groups. It’s best to look for other players farming in the general chat. All endgame bosses have specific “loot tables”, meaning a list of certain items they can drop.

Aurora is the latest champion in League of Legends and can be played both in the top lane and mid lane. With her impressive debut, she quickly established herself as one of the best champions in both lanes.
What kind of champion is she? Aurora is the latest champion in League of Legends and is playable in both the top and mid lanes. The Vastaya caused quite a stir even before her release, as pro players suspected that she would be too strong at release.
After other champions like Smolder had a disastrous start, Aurora’s release couldn’t have gone better. She is currently one of the most popular and best champions in both lanes and has made it into the top 5.
Start video
LoL: „GODS“ ft. NewJeans (Official Music Video) | World Cup Anthem 2023
Aurora’s ultimate ability sends shivers down players’ spines
What makes Aurora so strong? What makes the Vastaya particularly strong is her ultimate ability. Not only did the pros fear this even before her release, but players find her abilities to be too strong.
Many players seem to particularly fear her ultimate ability, but her other abilities also make her a must-pick in every game. She is especially effective against melee champions, those who excel in close combat.
Thanks to her abilities, Aurora is hard to pin down for opponents and proves to be an extremely slippery champion, making her an incredibly strong opponent in the right hands.
The new champion moves in the spirit realm
What abilities does Aurora have? Like any other champion, Aurora has three abilities, a passive ability, and an ultimate ability:
Passive ability: A classic 3-hit passive: When Aurora deals damage to an opponent three times, she unleashes magical damage and summons a spirit that follows her and increases her speed and healing for 3 seconds.
Q ability: Her Q ability allows Aurora to deal damage and mark enemies with spirit energy. Upon reactivating the Q, she pulls the marked enemies back to her and deals additional damage.
W ability: With her W ability, Aurora can become invisible and enter spirit mode. While in this mode, the cooldown of the ability is reset when she defeats opponents.
E ability: Her E ability enables her to fire a projectile that deals damage and slows enemies.
R ability: Her ultimate ability ‘Between Worlds’ sends out a wave of energy that deals damage and slows enemies. While moving in the spirit realm, opponents trying to escape take additional damage.
How does the champion perform? A Reddit post by user ‘williamis3’ shows that Aurora has a win rate of 53-54% both in the top and mid lanes, according to many statistics pages. For a freshly released champion, these numbers are extremely impressive. She is currently in the top 5 of the best champions.
However, her strong start also has a downside: Aurora’s ban rate currently stands at about 60%.
The streamer Herscel “DrDisrespect” Beahm is back online after 36 days, and he has dug up the hatchet. He responds aggressively and cynically to nasty comments online about his scandal. The Twitch streamer Asmongold is watching this and says DrDisrespect simply has nothing left to lose.
This is the situation:
DrDisrespect signed a major deal with Twitch in March 2020 but was permanently banned from the platform on June 26, 2020. The reasons remained unclear for 4 years.
In the 4 years since, DrDisrespect has been doing well, but not as outstandingly well as before. He still had some deals and earned good money, but he streamed on YouTube without an exclusive contract and repeatedly complained, about how many opportunities and earnings the ban cost him.
On June 21, 2024, it became known why DrDisrespect was banned. He had exchanged inappropriate messages with a 17-year-old girl via Twitch in 2017. Now DrDisrespect’s career collapsed: partners and friends distanced themselves from him. His own gaming studio halted collaboration. YouTube cut off his revenue.
This was the status regarding DrDisrespect’s ban up until the summer of 2024:

After 36 days, DrDisrespect is back
This is his comeback now: 36 days after announcing a break, DrDisrespect is active online again. He posted a picture of himself on X playing chess against his opponent.
This refers to a well-known saying that means: “I am far ahead of all of you. My plans are much more thought-out and sophisticated than yours.”

What is the reaction? The reaction to this tweet is partially hostile – DrDisrespect’s reactions to this hostility is to fire back with all guns blazing.
One user posts an image suggesting that DrDisrespect is pedophilic.
He calls him a “woke boy whose brain has been washed”.
Another user sardonically asks him: “Are you playing with a minor right now?”
DrDisrespect replies, “Good line, they/them. But the internet will never help you with your real problem… depression.”
How is this commented on? The Twitch streamer Asmongold seems to watch this with enjoyment but also wide-eyed. According to him, DrDisrespect is now “completely unmasked.”
Asmongold says he doesn’t know where to go from here. DrDisrespect has no deals left with big brands and nothing left to lose.
The reactions to DrDisrespect’s tweet and his responses can be seen in the video by Asmongold:

Jens “Knossi” Knossalla is a German entertainer and is successful as a streamer on Twitch. His mother Ida is often involved as well. In a recent stream, the 38-year-old was suddenly confronted with a racist remark – and acted quickly.
What was the situation? Jens “Knossi” Knossalla is one of the biggest entertainers on German Twitch. However, what remained memorable at the end of a recent stream was not the somewhat bizarre content, but a remark made by the streamer’s mother.
“Mama Knossalla” used the racist “N-word” in connection with a euphemism for a bodily function. For the same remark, a reality star has reportedly just been kicked off her new show, as Focus reported.
From the Witness Stand with Barbara Salesch to the King of Twitch – Career and Life of Knossi
Knossi reacts promptly
What was the immediate reaction? The visibly shocked Knossi interrupted his mother immediately and hurried to assure that this had nothing to do with him: He distanced himself from the remark and did not know where his mother could have picked up the “stupid comment”.
Ida Knossalla also apologized for her choice of words. The stream excerpt was heatedly discussed online. In the Subreddit Laesterschwestern, which mainly deals with the German influencer scene, a thread on the topic reached 250 comments. Opinions on this matter vary widely:
Overall, Knossi’s reaction is received positively; he responded quickly and well. He showed clear boundaries and did not contribute to the normalization of racist language.
Others find Knossi’s apology insincere. They accuse him of intervening only out of fear for his Twitch channel and reputation.
The apology from “Mama Knossalla” is also viewed with mixed feelings: Some believe the woman should be left alone, as she was on the verge of tears. Others believe they see her struggling to hold back laughter and only giving a pro forma apology.
What is the current development? As one user noticed shortly afterward, the video has now disappeared from Reddit. The moderation team of Laesterschwestern explains that they received a copyright complaint. They want to preemptively remove the post to avoid deletion by Reddit.
The moderators emphasize that they do not want to stifle discussions. Therefore, further posts on the topic should also be left standing
Also on TikTok and X, where the video was still available for a bit longer, it has now disappeared. It is not known whether there is a copyright complaint here as well, or if the videos were removed due to the uncensored use of the N-word.
The deletion of the video has triggered discussions again: Some find it okay, as Knossi is just protecting his mother, who is not as much a public figure as he is. Others see it as an attempt to stifle a discussion.

Season 5 in Diablo 4 is just around the corner and brings new content to the game. With the seasonal mechanics and the new “Hellbreaker Dungeons”, you will farm reputation and XP. They are also designed to remind players of the popular “Dopamine Tunnel”.
The new Season 5 has the season theme “Hell Hordes”. This theme is reflected in the new endgame activity “Infernal Hordes”, which is available starting from World Tier 3. You activate a “Hell Compass” and then fight against timed monster waves. In the process, you collect “Burning Ether”, which you can exchange for various rewards.
In World Tiers 1 and 2, you prepare for the Hell Hordes with the new seasonal mechanics. The new Hellbreaker Dungeons are essentially smaller versions of the Hell Hordes, which are said to be well-suited for farming reputation and XP.

Diablo 4: Developers offer insight into the Season of the Infernal Hordes
New Seasonal Mechanics Prepare You for the Endgame
What are the Hellbreaker Dungeons? In a YouTube livestream on August 1, the developers of Diablo 4 explained that the Hell Hordes are an endgame activity in World Tiers 3 and 4. With the Hellbreaker Dungeons, they want to provide content for players in World Tiers 1 and 2.
The Hell Hordes are permanent and available in both seasonal and eternal realms. The Hellbreaker Dungeons, on the other hand, are seasonal and include according to Blizzard “events that you can also expect in the Hell Hordes.”
The new dungeons are a good source for:
farming reputation for the new reputation system in Season 5
farming XP
strong equipment items
This way, players will find out what awaits them in the endgame in the Hell Hordes. The Hellbreaker Dungeons include elements from the Hell Hordes. Here too, you will collect Burning Ether, fight against bosses, and make a choice on how you want to fight. The riskier the choice, the more rewards you will receive:
In the Hellbreaker Dungeons, you choose between curse and blessing. Source: Livestream
Why do they remind players of the “Dopamine Tunnel”? The dungeon “Tunnel of Domhainne” received a lot of praise from players in the early seasons of Diablo 4. Due to the good enemy density, layout, and constant action, the community dubbed the dungeon the “Dopamine Tunnel.”
The developers also recall this name in the livestream. Lead Seasons Designer Daniel Tanguy explains the connection between the new Hellbreaker Dungeons and the “Dopamine Tunnel”:
Originally, we were inspired by the Tunnel of Domhainne, if you remember it. But with the introduction of the Hell Flood in Season 4, we had to change that a bit, because I don’t think that would have been enough on its own. So we took many elements from the Hell Hordes and used this as an opportunity to introduce those elements.
Community Director Adam Fletcher responds that everyone remembers the Dopamine Tunnel.
The Hellbreaker Dungeons could thus be a promising way to level up quickly in World Tiers 1 and 2 while also pushing reputation. The new reputation system in Season 5 resembles the Iron Wolves from Season 4. With this, you will again receive equipment items, important materials, and finally a “Majestic Spark.” You can find out more about the new season here: Diablo 4 Season 5: Start, Theme, and Changes

Some Star Wars movies divide the community, but probably every fan agrees that the Holiday Special is terrible, at least all who have seen it. There are no official ways to watch it, although the Special introduced one of the coolest characters in the series.
What happens in The Star Wars Holiday Special? At its core, it’s about Chewbacca’s family on Kashyyyk, preparing for a celebration that is basically Christmas. Han Solo and Chewbacca fly there as well. While the family waits for the two, many confusing scenes are shown with people dancing or singing.
Soon you can dive into a new adventure in the Star Wars universe:

Star Wars Outlaws introduces the underworld of the galaxy
The most curious case of a Star Wars film
The show aired in 1978, just a year after the first film and before the second one. The Holiday Special was made specifically for television, which is why the budget wasn’t particularly high. Interestingly, you can’t officially watch the Special, even though you have Star Wars Vintage on Disney Plus.
Under this banner, you can watch the first Clone Wars miniseries or the two Ewok movies, which were also produced for television. However, the Holiday Special is not included. You won’t find it on DVDs or Blu-ray either. The only options are on YouTube.
What’s curious about the film is also the many actors you know. Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher all appear in the Holiday Special. The myth around the film goes so far that George Lucas is said to have even said: If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would search for every copy of the show and destroy it. However, this quote is hard to prove, as there is no original source for it.
Despite its notorious quality, the film introduced one of the universe’s most popular characters, Boba Fett, two years before The Empire Strikes Back. In an animated sequence of the film (yes, there was also one), Boba Fett helps our heroes before it turns out that he works for Darth Vader. In the same year, the design of the character was already seen at a parade (via dorksiteoftheforce.com).
Harrison Ford denies his participation. In 2005, Ford was asked by Conan O’Brien (via YouTube) about the Holiday Special. Ford initially reacts in panic until he responds to O’Brien that he can’t remember such a thing. Then he is shown a clip and afterwards, Ford simply says: Thank you.
In the meantime, there is also a documentary about the Special called A Disturbance in the Force. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been released in Germany yet. Have you seen the Holiday Special? Let us know your opinion on it in the comments. If you have always wondered why Chewbacca tilts his head, you can find out here: That’s why Chewbacca tilts his head so often in the “Star Wars” films

Alien is one of the most iconic science fiction horror franchises of all time. With Alien: Romulus, there are a total of seven films in the series. Alongside Alien vs Predator, there are also two spin-offs. At one point, there was even going to be an anime based on Alien vs Predator. Unfortunately, the planning was at an unfavorable time: two of the greatest sci-fi monsters in film history would have clashed in an anime, but Disney was not interested
