There is actually a significant 5th Hobbit in the universe of Lord of the Rings, but he does not appear in the films

Fabienne Kissel 31. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In Frodo’s circle of friends, there is another hobbit who does not appear in the Lord of the Rings-films, but without him, the story might have gone differently.

When people think of The Lord of the Rings, Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin immediately come to mind – as do Aragorn, Gandalf, and Legolas. However, a brave hobbit often remains unmentioned: Fredegar Bolger. Although he does not appear in Peter Jackson’s films, he plays a crucial role in J.R.R. Tolkien’s work.

The Brave Hobbit Many Do Not Know

Who exactly is Fredegar? He was a close friend of Frodo Baggins and the group. His friends affectionately called him Fatty. Although he did not seek adventure like his friends, he played a key role in the early events of the Fellowship. While Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin decided to leave the Shire and travel to Rivendell, Fredegar chose to stay in the Shire.

Why did he stay behind? He remained at Frodo’s house to give the impression that Frodo was still in the Shire. He took on this role to deceive the Nazgûl and other threats, allowing Frodo and his companions to begin their journey in peace. This was a strategic decision to lead the pursuers down a false trail.

What important role does he play? He is incredibly brave. Fredegar timely warned the inhabitants about the Nazgûl who were coming to the Shire in search of Frodo and the Ring. When the Nazgûl searched Frodo’s house, Fredegar escaped through the back door and raised the alarm by sounding the horn signal of Buckland. This caused the Nazgûl to retreat.

During the time when Saruman and his minions occupied the Shire, Fredegar led a resistance group to defend the Shire. He was eventually captured. Later, he was freed by Frodo.

Destiny 2: Bungie loses 450 employees, including the most experienced – suspends all projects except for 2

Schuhmann 31. July 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

The developer of Destiny 2, Bungie, announced this evening, on July 31, that they are cutting 450 employees, including many executives and the most experienced staff. The studio needs to streamline and will halt or hand over all projects, except for Destiny 2 and the new extraction shooter, Marathon.

This is the announcement: Bungie’s boss, Pete Parsons, states in a statement (via Bungie) that they have made the “difficult decision” to eliminate 220 positions. This accounts for about 17% of the studio’s workforce.

Among those laid off were most of the management team and various senior leaders. For instance, Robert Brookes is leaving after 5 years at Destiny (via x.com). He served as a Senior Narrative Designer.

Additionally, they are halting all projects, except for Destiny 2 and Marathon.

The terrible expansion Lightfall is cited as the reason for the current problems:

The numbers are even worse – In fact, Bungie is losing 450 employees

How many people are they actually losing? In addition to the 220 who are being outright fired, 155 employees who have been at Bungie are moving to Sony. If Sony hadn’t taken them over, they would have been fired as well, Parsons says.

75 more employees are being transferred to a new studio. They will work on a game that was previously being developed at Bungie. This game is said to be an action game set in a new science-fantasy universe.

Thus, Bungie is not just losing 220 people, but actually 450 employees. The studio is shrinking from 1,300 employees to 850.

Destiny 2: Sony allegedly considers the acquisition of Bungie to be a failure, is angry at “greedy bosses”

Sony acquired Bungie in 2022 for 3.6 billion US dollars.

Lightfall disappoints

What is the reason for this? Parsons says that over the last 5 years, they aimed to build 3 global franchises and promoted people from existing teams for that purpose. The actual teams were working on Destiny 2 and Marathon.

But these promotions weakened the development teams too much, and they had to hire more people than they could realistically support.

Additionally, there was a deterioration in the overall economic situation, especially in the gaming industry, and the disappointing Destiny 2: Lightfall. Moreover, they invested more work into The Final Shape and Marathon to ensure quality.

CEO admits: “We were too ambitious” – Bungie made losses

In the original, Pete Parsons says:

For over five years, our goal has been to develop games in three enduring, global franchises. To achieve this, we launched several incubation projects, each staffed with senior developers from our existing teams. We ultimately recognized that this model overwhelmed our talents too quickly. It also forced us to scale our studio support structures to a higher level than we could realistically support given our two primary products in development – Destiny and Marathon.

Furthermore, our rapid expansion in 2023 collided head-on with a general economic downturn, a severe slump in the gaming industry, our quality shortfall with Destiny 2: Lightfall, and the need for The Final Shape and Marathon to have the necessary time to ensure both projects deliver the quality that our players expect and deserve. We were too ambitious, our financial safety nets were subsequently exceeded, and we began to operate at a loss.

Once this new course became clear, we knew we had to change our course and our pace, and we did everything we could to avoid today’s outcome. Despite intense efforts from our leadership and product teams to address our financial challenges, those steps simply weren’t enough.

What happens next? Parsons states that they have 850 people for Destiny and Marathon and will continue to create great games.

Sony criticized Bungie’s management in February 2024

This is the background: This frustration was noticeable after Bungie was openly criticized by Sony in February 2024. Sony essentially said: Although there are plenty of skills and good employees at Bungie, they criticized the leadership for being too lenient with money and schedules. There was “room for improvement.”

Overall, Destiny has been on a troubled path since the release of Destiny 2: Vanilla in 2017. While Forsaken was a strong expansion released in 2018, it did not bring back enough players who were lost in 2017 due to the terrible launch year of Destiny 2. Consequently, Activision Blizzard announced the end of their partnership: Destiny 2 without Activision Blizzard was supposed to be great, but has been disappointing so far.

Professional player doesn’t know what to do with his life because he hasn’t played matches for months

Dariusz Müller 31. July 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

A Valorant pro has commented on his emotional situation. The long break ahead is taking a toll on him.

Who is it about? Daniel “Rossy” Abedrabbo (21) is a professional player from the USA in Riot Games’ tactical shooter Valorant. The big “Valorant Champions 2024” tournament will start in South Korea on August 1, 2024, which is the annual World Championship of the popular esports title.

Rossy participated in the playoffs and league regular season in the Pacific region with his team “T1”, but could not qualify.
On June 8, Rossy also announced that he would be leaving T1. It is currently unknown to which team the 21-year-old will move next and whether he already has offers.
Rossy has been active as a Valorant pro since 2021 and played for the teams “Immortals”, “TSM”, “FaZe Clan”, and “Turle Troop” before his time at T1 (via Liquipedia).

On X.com, Rossy talked about the long break he faces until he will next play competitively for a team in Valorant and explained that this situation is emotionally troubling him.

“This schedule really makes me depressed”

Why is he desperate? Rossy currently has to take a long forced break. His now former team could not qualify for the Valorant Champions 2024, and there are no more tournaments on the schedule for the rest of the year.

This uncertainty creates a difficult situation for Rossy. He writes:

Life is really hard these days. What should I do with my life?

Yes, I should have won more and all that, but seriously, when will I ever play again? 4 months, 6 months?
Rossy via X.com

Rossy knows himself that he could play some games in 2024 if he and his team had won more games and qualified for the World Championship. Still, he suffers from the long break, which is also due to the schedule and believes that other players feel similarly:

I have never felt so meaningless in my life. This schedule really makes me depressed, and I wouldn’t doubt that other players feel the same way.
Rossy via X.com

His most recent match was played by Rossy on June 24, 2024, for T1 against Team Secret. When he will next play a match is currently unclear. Riot Games has not yet released a schedule for 2025. The Valorant Champions Tour 2024 started in February. Rossy would have to take a break of 6 months with a similar schedule.

Two and a Half Men: An actor was supposed to get over 650,000 € per episode, but he declined

What is the problem? In esports, there are often long breaks between tournaments or seasons. While professional athletes in sports like football or basketball are happy to have a few weeks off after a long season, the schedule for esports players is often significantly more sparse.

This also complicates financial planning for teams. Then there is the question: Is it worth it to pay the salaries of players, coaches, and analysts for six months when no matches are played in that time and thus no prize money or advertising revenue comes in?

It is also difficult for players like Rossy, who currently have no team and thus no regular income. The chance of finding a new team is very low when it is not even known when the next competitions will start. Financial security and planning for the future are not guaranteed. This is also reflected in the comments under Rossy’s post. Other players like “BcJ” from M80 or “bang” from 100 Thieves write that they feel the same and are already looking forward to 2025.

On August 25, the final of the World Championship will be held. After that, we will know which team follows Evil Geniuses and can call themselves world champions. However, the winners from last year could not enjoy their victory for long: Valorant: Team becomes champion, but instead of celebrating, the players receive a terrible message

The actor of Jake warned you to watch Two and a Half Men while he was still playing

Niko Hernes 31. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Two and a Half Men is, despite its popularity, a series that has had some scandals behind the scenes. Most of these probably involved Charlie Sheen, but the other main actors have not always presented themselves perfectly in public either. This includes Angus T. Jones, the actor who played Jake, who has not spoken very positively about the series.

What happened? In 2012, Angus T. Jones, the actor who played Jake from Two and a Half Men, released an unusual video with Christopher Hudson. Hudson is a controversial leader of a Christian group who has very radical opinions.

This was well summarized by The Hollywood Reporter in 2012. He also believes in conspiracy theories and has demonized the entertainment industry. In the video with Hudson at that time, Jones also spoke quite poorly about his own series Two and a Half Men and warned people not to watch the show at all.

Angus T. Jones didn’t want you to watch the series

What happens in the video? In the YouTube video, Jones is sitting on a couch with Hudson and talks about the Bible and how he was able to study the book on his own. However, around 6:50, Jones also starts talking about the series and begins to warn viewers not to watch it.

I am in Two and a Half Men, and I don’t want to be. Please stop watching it and filling your head with junk. People say it’s just entertainment. Research the effects of television on your brain.
Angus T. Jones 2012 about Two and a Half Men (Source: YouTube)

At first, this sounds like a rather contentless media criticism, but his justifications become even more absurd. He says that the show is the plan of the enemy and that he doesn’t want to help with that. As a God-fearing person, he cannot be part of such a series.

With the plan of the enemy, Satan or another malignant power is probably meant, as explained by the community in a Reddit thread.

Curiously, he was still working as an actor for the series at that time. Although he was not regularly involved after Charlie Sheen’s departure, he still appeared in several episodes with Ashton Kutcher.

As The Hollywood Reporter reported at the time, Jones apologized for his words in the video and thanked again for the opportunity to participate in Two and a Half Men. In the statement, he also praised the crew of the series. Ultimately, Jones also appeared in later episodes, including the last one in 2015. A more pleasant story from Two and a Half Men involves Berta: A character in Two and a Half Men was supposed to disappear after only 2 episodes, but she was just too good

Elden Ring buffs almost all spirit ashes with patch 1.13 – Only one is powerful enough and is ignored

Christos Tsogos 31. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In Elden Ring, many changes were made with Patch 1.13. The biggest changes primarily concern your spirit ashes, as they were far too weak. Now, a variety of them have been buffed except for a certain one, which has apparently always been strong enough.

What kind of patch was it? On July 30, 2024, Patch 1.13 was released for Elden Ring on all platforms. The update aimed to address various issues, including improving performance and adjusting a variety of spells and spirit ashes. Regarding the spirit ashes, almost all received a buff because they were much too weak.

The list is long, but if you look closely, a certain spirit ash is missing, which almost every player should have tried at least once.

Mimic Tear remains strong

Which spirit ash remains untouched? The Mimic Tear takes the form of the host and thus takes on all their items, weapons, armor, and combat style. For many players, this is the go-to spirit ash for all occasions, as it can prove itself in almost every boss fight.

Even at the release of Elden Ring, the Mimic Tear was considered a top choice against bosses, but the ash was nerfed with Patch 1.03. Now, fans might have hoped that the Mimic Tear would receive a buff this time since all other ashes have also been blessed, but that was not the case.

One could complain now, but the Mimic Tear remains one of the best ashes in the game despite its nerf at the time. When used wisely, it can even defeat tough bosses like Malenia. It is understandable that FromSoftware chose to leave this ash alone.

Patch 1.13, however, took many other strong options into account, such as the Doll of the Dung Eater, Lhutel the Headless, and even Black Knife Tiche, all of which are among the best ashes in the game.

How were the spirit ashes improved? Mainly, the balance of the ashes was adjusted. This is intended to ensure that the spirits cannot be easily interrupted from their stance by bosses or enemies. This allows them to fight more aggressively and also be hit by multiple combos without immediately being knocked down.

Additionally, all ashes except the Mimic Tear were adjusted so that their attack power and damage negation increased when upgraded to 8+.

Other ashes received bonuses to their stats, HP, or damage output. One might think that all spirits are now at a level where they can also withstand the challenging DLC of Elden Ring.

Poor Portugal is having problems with rich digital nomads like the Twitch streamer Unge

Schuhmann 31. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In Portugal, after the pandemic, there was a good idea: they wanted to attract digital nomads to the country, who would bring their high salaries and a lot of money. Many German influencers, particularly Twitch streamer Simon Unge, who jokingly is said to “own the island,” settled on the island of Madeira due to tax advantages. But this policy is now showing problems.

That was the plan: As the website xataka reports, Portugal introduced a visa for digital nomads in 2022:

To obtain the visa, one needed an income that was 4 times higher than the minimum wage in Portugal – one had to earn about 3,280 euros.
To make it appealing for digital nomads, they were granted tax advantages.
The plan worked, but it brought new disadvantages.

A “digital nomad” refers to individuals or companies that use only digital technology for their work and can therefore lead a location-independent life. They are not tied to any fixed residence and can work from anywhere as long as there is internet.

Autoplay

Young Portuguese are leaving Portugal because the country is too expensive

This is now the result: The problem is that shop and property owners wanted to benefit from the high-income digital nomads by raising their prices so that many Portuguese can no longer afford to live in Portugal.

As a result, 25% of the Portuguese now live abroad – and 40% of all young Portuguese with a university degree leave the country, as Essential Business reports.

This is seen as a brain drain because it is precisely the best-educated young people who leave the country to start their careers elsewhere.

Why are so many leaving? The problem is a growing gap between the money people have in their pockets and the ongoing costs that occur every month:

The average monthly salary in Portugal is projected to be about 1,463 euros in 2024 – an increase of 4.3% from the previous year.
However, the average rent increased by 10.5% in 2023.

What does this have to do with Unge? The German Twitch streamers living in Madeira have their own “special conditions” that attract them to Madeira. Influencer AnniTheDuck was allowed to say in an ARD documentary in February 2024 without contradiction that she moved to Madeira solely for the “good weather.” Most German influencers likely live in Madeira for other reasons.

Unge has lived there since late 2018, which is already 4 years before the visa for digital nomads came about. The island offered particularly attractive tax conditions, which are still ongoing but can no longer be newly obtained. Critics speak of tax evasion by the influencers.

But these streamers are also digital nomads and bring the problems that they earn money very differently than the locals, thus disrupting the price structure of the country: Twitch streamer explains why rich influencers are urgently moving to Madeira with Unge now

These 10 great features every MMORPG should have

Karsten Scholz 31. July 2024 Reading time 6 minutes

Some features, systems, and mechanics from online role-playing games are so good that they should find their place in every new MMORPG. In this special, you will find ten such killer features that MeinMMO would prefer to never do without again.

Those who have played numerous MMORPGs over the past decades likely have some examples ready at a moment’s notice: features that are so good, clever, and enjoyable that they should be included in every online role-playing game.

In this special, the MeinMMO editorial team presents ten such commendable systems from the best genre in the world, hoping that MMORPG fans will never have to ask again, “Why didn’t they solve it like in game X?” or “Why isn’t the great feature from game Y here, that would make sense?”

The Mount System from Guild Wars 2

Mounts and flying creatures may be an old hat in MMORPGs, yet Guild Wars 2 has impressively shown for years how positively it affects the gaming experience when players are not just bombarded with countless mounts (skins), but when the creatures are given a meaningful and clever gameplay foundation.

In Guild Wars 2, there are still only a manageable number of mounts, all of which bring various skills and thus advantages. For example, the Raptor can jump particularly far, while the Springder jumps particularly high. The Gryphon glides in the air, and the Ray hovers over the water. Additionally, the creatures possess skills for combat.
The mounts are linked to masteries and quest lines or collections; you have to earn them and improve their skills.
All animals have weight, feel alive, and can still be well controlled.

Due to the great way mounts are implemented in Guild Wars 2, it is a lot of fun to explore the various regions of the MMORPG. So much fun that Blizzard has taken a lot from it for dragon riding in Dragonflight. Good!

If Crafting, Then Like in Final Fantasy XIV

Gathering resources and crafting items is often not fun in many MMORPGs. The execution of professions is too simple, and produced items cannot compete with rewards from other areas of the game too often.

A positive exception to this rule has reached first place in the MeinMMO ranking of the best crafting systems. Final Fantasy XIV treats professions like real classes. You gain experience, level up, and learn new skills and improvements. Additionally, there is special equipment, quests, and consumables like buff food for the professions.

If you want to craft high-level products of the best possible quality, you must necessarily use the right skills at the right time. Simple tasks can be automated with enough experience. This framework makes the professional careers in Square’s MMORPG feel motivational and rewarding.

A horror movie on Netflix is really good if you like making fun of Gen Z

Niko Hernes 31. July 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

Movies and also horror movies often represent their current young generation, even if it’s not always particularly positive. Bodies Bodies Bodies does that too. MyMMO editor Nikolas Hernes thinks the film creates an interesting mix of comedy and horror.

What is Bodies Bodies Bodies about? The wealthy David, played by Pete Davidson, is throwing a party for his twenty-something friends at his parents’ estate. They want to celebrate during a wild hurricane. As is typical for such parties in films, there are drugs, alcohol, and party games.

The game the group plays is called Bodies Bodies Bodies. A mix of Werewolf and Murder in the Disco. When Pete Davidson suddenly actually dies, the situation escalates and betrayal and trust within the group are put to the test. You can watch the film since 29.07.2024 on Netflix.

Bodies Bodies Bodies – Trailer for Gen-Z Horror

Horror and Comedy about Gen Z

Classic premise with a new twist. Even in old slashers like Halloween or Friday the 13th, filmmakers mocked the young generation. Drugs and the constant urge for sex were characteristics of many of Michael’s and Jason’s victims. Bodies Bodies Bodies strikes a similar chord. The casting of Pete Davidson alone shows that.

Among all the young people, he always seems like one who is older but tries to stay young. The comedian is mainly known as the ex-boyfriend of Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian. Like his character, actually all the characters are incredibly unlikable and only confident because they have money.

However, when death occurs, things escalate. Due to the hurricane, the phones don’t work and the question of the culprit is not logically attempted to be answered. The much more important question is who cheated on whom and who was once together with whom.

In any other film, that would be really unbearable, but here it works because it takes a classic crime premise and makes something its own. Personally, I liked it because it takes the typical illogical behavior in horror films to the extreme and creates many funny moments.

The film satirically addresses other clichés of Gen Z as well. When you look at how the teenagers deal with the murders, it shows how numb the protagonists are to violence. Sure, there’s a murderer on the loose, but they continue to discuss trivial matters.

The actors do a great job of presenting their roles. It doesn’t feel like a film that tries to represent Gen Z, but rather like a film made by Gen Z. Bodies Bodies Bodies takes clichés and leads them into the absurd. The wealthy, self-assured youths become panicked children who act outside of all logic.

Nevertheless, the film is a refreshing experience, especially for fans of lighter horror with comedy elements. Bodies Bodies Bodies is also not just a blunt attack on a generation, but a satire about challenges, the way we interact, and the absurd in the horror genre.

Jared Padelecki wanted to be too cool at the audition for Supernatural, almost losing the role

Niko Hernes 31. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In Supernatural, Dean is the impulsive cool brother, while Sam approaches many situations a bit more soberly and intelligently. However, during his audition, Jared Padalecki, the actor playing Sam, wanted to be a bit too cool and almost lost the role.

What is Supernatural? The series revolves around the lives of Dean Winchester, played by Jensen Ackles, and Sam Winchester, played by Jared Padalecki. The two are searching for their father and hunting supernatural creatures on their journey.

Over its 15 seasons from 2005 to 2020, Supernatural became a cult series, partly due to the charm of its two lead actors. Jared Padalecki almost didn’t get the role of Sam because he wanted to be too cool during the audition.

It didn’t go well at all because Eric Kripke, the creator of the series, initially didn’t want him, as he didn’t seem intelligent enough.

Padalecki explains in the interview that in the early 2000s, if you looked like Michael Rosenbaum or Jared Padalecki, it was expected that you would play broody during auditions. Translated, that means thoughtful or pensive and refers to a mysterious, cool aura. It seems that this worked back then. You were supposed to play the James Dean.

After his audition, however, the criticism was that Kripke was more interested in an intelligent type, similar to David Duchovny. It seems that Padalecki did not convey this trait during the audition. However, his manager saved him.

The manager called Kripke and told him how smart Padalecki actually is. In the SAT, a test for college applicants in the USA, he received a very good score. He had a scholarship and was a debate champion. After that, Kripke gave him another chance to audition.

Interestingly, Padalecki mentioned in the interview that it was mainly Eric Kripke who didn’t like that he was auditioning for something. His manager then told him to go back and be smarter.

In his second audition, he apparently talked about literature and Shakespeare. This seems to have worked because he got the iconic role. Another iconic character was actually only supposed to appear in three episodes, but he wanted more: Fan favorite was supposed to leave Supernatural after 3 episodes, but he was bold and asked the boss for more

Trymacs says on Twitch that he used to be a ‘Talahon’ – But what does this youth word actually mean?

Lydia 31. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

“Talahon” is a candidate for the Youth Word of 2024. The term is currently being hotly debated on Twitch. The streamer Trymacs even says he used to be a Talahon himself. MeinMMO reveals what it’s all about.

On TikTok, there are currently lots of videos of young men kickboxing or gesticulating to a certain song – and German Twitch streamers are suddenly confronted with the question of whether they are actually a “Talahon”. We explain what this trend is all about.

Trymacs is said to have also been a “Talahon” at some point in the past

Controversial Youth Word “Talahon”

What is a Talahon anyway? “Talahon” is a new term that is currently making the rounds on social networks and has even made it into the preliminary selection for the Youth Word of 2024 at Langenscheidt.

Especially on TikTok, videos of young men standing out with their style of clothing and behavior are circulating.

The videos are typically set to the song “Ta3l Lahon” by rapper Hassan. The title comes from Arabic and means something like “come here.” However, due to the use of the song in their videos, the young men are now being referred to as “Talahon.”

According to Spiegel, a “Talahon” wears branded clothes, from a Gucci cap to a sweater to a fanny pack, and has an aggressive demeanor. In a short video on TikTok, however, the Tagesschau shows why the fashion term should be viewed critically:

The content of the videos is often sexist, which contributes to normalizing such an attitude.
The term itself is now being used in right-wing circles and has become a kind of enemy image for some.

Twitch Streamers React to the Trend

The trend has also reached German Twitch, but it is received in very different ways. For example, Trymacs, who is generally viewed as a petty ideal citizen (an “Alman”), had a surprising realization about his own past.

Back then, the streamer reports, he wore Ed Hardy, chilled at the train station, spat on the ground, and his friends also all had a fanny pack. If other teenagers had appeared who were “also looking for trouble,” then “it” just happened. Based purely on a definition based on appearance and behavior, Trymacs sees himself as a former “Talahon.” (via YouTube)

Some streamers like Papaplatte discuss whether the term might be understood as racist. However, the current Twitch star Zarbex is convinced that the designation has nothing to do with origin: there are also “white bread Talahons.”

The Berlin content creator Tanzverbot finds the trend simply “super funny,” and MontanaBlack just doesn’t understand anything at all (via TikTok).

Artificial intelligence shakes up politics: An entrepreneur wanted to reinvent democracy and failed

Gerald Wessel 31. July 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

In the upcoming election in the United Kingdom (UK), only one person, Steve Endacott, seems to be running. He is essentially representing an AI.

Update on July 31, 2024: The AI candidate has failed. Steve Al, as an independent candidate, has received only 179 out of a total of 52,572 votes cast, according to the official results, which you can view here on the Brighton website. Steve Endacott has come last in his district with his AI.

Which election is this about? Britain is electing a new House of Commons in July 2024. This body determines legislation and the state budget. It is the most crucial entity of British democracy in everyday life. It includes representatives from Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England.

So, is AI on the ballot? No, not quite. The ballot will feature the English entrepreneur Steve Endacott, but behind him stands an AI and an avatar, AI Steve. So, if he were elected, he would sit in Parliament, but how he would decide on votes or behave politically would be determined by the AI.

What does this have to do with Black Mirror? Black Mirror is a science-fiction/dystopia series on Netflix. One episode deals with the story of the AI comedy character Waldo, who gets involved in politics – with various consequences.

The avatar is also supposed to play an important role in the election campaign and interact with voters. This has been reported by the Independent, a newspaper from England.

AI Steve and Steve Endacott

Who is Steve Endacott? Endacott is an English entrepreneur and investor from Rochdale. This is a town in Northwest England. He firmly believes, according to his blog, that in the future, interaction with AI through speech will play a significant role in all areas of society. His professional focus was in the travel industry before his semi-retirement.

What exactly does the AI intend to do? According to statements made during an interview with Steve Endacott conducted by the Independent, he wants to provide access to the AI seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Through various levels, which also include volunteers from Rochdale, the proposals selected by the AI are to be incorporated into Endacott’s political work.

What does AI Steve want to implement? The quasi-spokesperson of the AI calls for, for example:

4-day work week, as AIs are “destroying many jobs”. Does the AI see the irony in this?
The capacity of English prisons should be increased.
Elimination of a fee levied in London to reduce traffic emissions.
The state social security should be expanded.
Sensors on garbage collection trucks to monitor route compliance. This aims to address overflowing trash containers.

We are talking about the reinvention of democracy, where voters can directly interact with their representatives and tell them what they demand – all from the comfort of their own living rooms.
Steve Endacott or AI Steve – or both, via Independent

Let’s wait and see if he has more success with AI in realizing his political ambitions. In the last election in 2022, he only received 487 votes, missing the target seat by a long shot. Perhaps he will triumph now as the spokesperson and executing arm of AI Steve.

Speaking of artificial intelligence: Beyond politics, these multi-talented helpers have long been indispensable, but they are often also the villains in stories. In the case of the sci-fi strategy game Stellaris, both apply. Because the developers at Paradox Entertainment relied not only on one or two AI creations in creating the latest expansion “The Machine Age”, but also elevate machine intelligence to a completely new level narratively – as an enemy or a friend.

The mangaka of One Piece reveals how much the Straw Hat crew can drink

Jasmin Beverungen 31. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

When the Straw Hat Crew defeats a strong opponent, there is good reason to celebrate. Even after the victory in Wano Country, the Straw Hats celebrated to their heart’s content. A fan wondered which of the main characters can handle the most alcohol. Eiichiro Oda, the mangaka of One Piece, actually responded to this.

How good is the alcohol tolerance of the Straw Hat Pirates? In the SBS section of the One Piece manga, Oda answers questions from readers. A fan wanted the mangaka to create a ranking of all the Straw Hats and sort them by their alcohol tolerance.

The fan already knew that Zoro and Nami can handle a lot of alcohol. However, Oda revealed that another character actually surpasses the two when it comes to alcohol tolerance. You can see the ranking here:

Jimbei
Roronoa Zoro
Nami
Franky
Sanji
Nico Robin
Brook
Usopp
Monkey D. Luffy
Tony Tony Chopper

Jimbei ranks first, closely followed by Zoro and Nami. Franky and Sanji are still in a good midfield position. Nico Robin and Brook, who skew the average age higher, land in the lower midfield. The bottom places are occupied by Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper.

The Straw Hats engage in a thrilling race in the One Piece Stampede movie:

Autoplay

Zoro likes to drink but only ranks second

What is surprising about the ranking? Many readers likely would have thought that Zoro and Nami would take the top two spots. However, Jimbei can handle even more than the other two. The reason for this might be his massive body, which allows him to absorb much more alcohol before getting drunk.

Another possibility is that he is a fishman. Unfortunately, we do not know how well fishmen generally tolerate alcohol.

Franky is also highly ranked. He likely can mix the cola he needs as fuel with rum and thus drink a fair amount. In contrast, we can guess why Chopper lands in last place: He is still not even of legal age after the time skip. Due to his small size and limited drinking experience, he cannot handle as much as the others.

The author also notes that Luffy would have the potential to drink a lot. However, he would always prefer food over alcohol.

For Oda, it was difficult to create this ranking. Alcohol tolerance has nothing to do with how much the characters enjoy drinking alcohol.

Now that you know how much the Straw Hats can handle in terms of alcohol: Which pirate would you like to have as a friend? In a MeinMMO survey, we want to know who you’d like to hang out with the most: One Piece: Which Straw Hat would you like to have as a friend?

A short campaign of WoW: The War Within was a really stupid idea

Cortyn 31. July 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

The campaign in the new WoW addon is relatively short. This does not match what the developers want to achieve, says MeinMMO demon Cortyn.

There are only a few weeks left until the release of World of Warcraft: The War Within. I’ll say it unjournalistically: I am quite hyped and looking forward to the addon because I really like the story surrounding Xal’atath and find it very interesting.

But there is one “small” detail that is dampening my mood in advance and has already troubled me a bit while playing the beta:

The main campaign of The War Within is quite short. For each area, there are relatively few missions that belong to the main quest line before moving on.

Start video

WoW: The War Within – Shadows Beneath the Surface

Autoplay

This is quite strange considering that World of Warcraft now wants to tell a story of enormous scope with the “World Soul Saga”, which they even want to expand to three addons. It is surprising that the consequence of this mega-story is: The campaign is shorter.

Short Campaign for Whiners – As if That Were the Only Option

I know that some will jump into the comments to say: “Good, short campaign is annoying, I don’t read quests anyway and only play for raids / dungeons / PvP!”

And I also understand that some people are annoyed if they have to play a long campaign because there are important endgame features that are only unlocked once the campaign has been completed.

It seems that they wanted to cater to exactly those people according to Maria Hamilton by making the campaign shorter:

We made the campaign a bit shorter this time because we know that there are some players who do not enjoy the story aspects as much and do not want to play that much. That’s totally fine. […]

That was a conscious decision. We want people to understand what they need to understand, but then they can level in a way that they enjoy.

We don’t want to force anyone to play a long campaign if they don’t enjoy it.

I don’t understand that.

Because if you take that as an argument, it seems to imply that there are only these two options:

A long campaign that annoys some players because they have to play it, but delights story fans.
A short campaign that annoys story fans, but pleases everyone who doesn’t want to quest.

But those are not the only two options.

Big Campaign and “No Obligation” Are Not Mutually Exclusive

World of Warcraft has proven in recent months that it is taking new paths. Mechanics and systems are being introduced that make most players feel more comfortable.

Would it really be so hard to create a long, extensive campaign, with the option of unlocking the endgame features upon reaching the maximum level before completing the campaign?

Similar options exist in the game frequently. You can often tell many NPCs (figuratively) “Don’t annoy me, give me content” when you have already completed a quest chain once. This requirement could surely be changed and simply replaced with the maximum level. An NPC, to whom you say: “I want to access the endgame features, even if I haven’t completed the campaign. Yes, I’m aware that I’ll be skipping story context.”

WoW: Midnight Tier List – Ranking of the Best Classes for DPS, Tanks and Healers

Blizzard promised quick updates with WoW Midnight without loss of quality – The endeavor has failed

Here you can see all Uniques and their previous effects at a glance.

The absurd thing is anyway: The pre-patch has already introduced that you only need to complete each quest once to unlock something. After that, a quest already counts as “completed by the war party” and all unlocks associated with it are immediately available.

Even if you say: Everyone must play the campaign once, then this “effort” would only be there for exactly one character. The main criticism was primarily that second and third characters have to catch up on many quests to unlock the same systems.

There are plenty of options to create an extensive campaign without the “obligation” of having to play it. But they decided against that and instead created a short story campaign.

I think it casts a very strange light on the new expansion, which is supposed to conclude one of the biggest story arcs of World of Warcraft and mark the 20th anniversary of the MMORPG. Having one of the shortest story campaigns just feels very strange.

What is the new season about? The new season of Diablo is called “Season of the Infernal Hordes” and sends players into battle against enemies from hell.

Included is the new endgame game mode “Infernal Hordes”, where players have 60 seconds to defeat a wave of enemies. After each wave, players choose from three curses and blessings that permanently modify their run. The further players progress, the more rewards likely await them at the end.

For many players, the main focus of the new season will be on the Uniques, as there are significant changes taking place.

Seal of the Saboteur (Rogue): Now causes larger and more powerful grenade explosions
Purple Fields (Barbarian): Now increases the explosion size of “Rupture” and boosts your damage against bleeding enemies
Greatstaff of the Vettel (Druid): Now always hits two enemies for high damage with “Storm Strike”
Bellow from the Depths (Necromancer): Now increases the speed and damage of “Corpse Explosion”
Staff of Lam Esen (Sorceress): Now adds a 75% chance for “Charged Bolts” to be cast twice

In addition to the buffs to the old Uniques, 50 new Uniques and Legendary items will also be introduced with the new season. These are meant to stay and will not disappear with the end of the season.

According to Blizzard, your best chance of getting the new weapons is by playing the new game mode and progressing far in it. Players can also look forward to new changes in the rare Uber Uniques.

Knossi opens 3 year old packages from his fans, almost has to vomit

Thomas Dummer 31. July 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

Entertainer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla has opened gifts from his viewers live on Twitch after a long time. After several disgusting incidents in the past, the influencer refrained from unboxing his fans’ mail on camera for a few years. Now, after more than 3 years, the post office where he stored the packages from his followers has contacted him.

After Knossi was confronted with foreign feces multiple times while opening viewer boxes, he set up a dedicated room for all incoming packages at a post office. He wanted to avoid any more unpleasant surprises.

According to his own statements, the post office complained frequently to the streamer that the room smelled unpleasant due to the packages, with some boxes even infested with worms.

How did the opening of the 3-year-old packages come about? The real reason why Knossi received all the boxes delivered home now was the closing of the post office. The streamer took this opportunity to let his fans participate in unboxing the packages again after a long time.

3-year-old packages make Knossi gag

In most of his viewers’ packages were harmless items, such as candies or handmade gifts for Knossi’s entire family. He even tried most of the long-expired sweet snacks and drinks without major issues.

However, with a few boxes, the streamer, known for his sensitive stomach, had to struggle quite a bit with his gag reflex. For example, with 3-year-old cans of fish or expired ground beef in a jar. While the smell of the fish was already enough, he took a small bite of the ground beef and regretted it shortly after.

One viewer seemed to have completely overstepped the mark again.

One box reminds of a mean viewer prank

In harmless-looking pizza boxes were a letter, a book, and a picture frame. In the letter, Knossi’s mother Ida was asked to read the first pages of the book aloud.

When Knossi opened the book, he was met with a disgusting surprise that reminded him very much of the mean viewer pranks from previous years. If you also have a sensitive stomach, you should enjoy the moment of unboxing with caution:

What happened next? The sender also added a phone number, like most other viewers.

When Knossi calls this number, a seemingly surprised woman answers. She claims to know nothing about the package and cuts off the streamer after a few short exchanges. Knossi assumes that the sender of the book and the picture also wanted to play a prank on an uninvolved third person.

For the entertainer, viewer boxes seem to be associated with more surprises than surviving in the wilderness. Earlier this year, Knossi was contemplating a continuation of the survival format “7 vs. Wild”: “Better one week alone than two weeks together” – Knossi talks about a possible 4th season of 7 vs. Wild

The company behind Steam has had no real boss for over 20 years and is therefore extremely successful

Benedikt Schlotmann 31. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Valve, the company behind Steam, relies on a special work model and is very successful with it. But even Gabe Newell, the founder of Valve, says: This is not for everyone.

Valve was founded in 1996 near Washington. Thus, the company has been around for 28 years now.

For years, the company has relied on a special work model known in the business world as “flat hierarchy”.

Teams and projects emerge from ideas around which employees group

When you enter Valve’s offices, you find neither a list of tasks nor a supervisor giving you instructions. According to Valve’s employee handbook, employees are encouraged to be interested in the ideas and projects of other teams and to join the one they like best or start their own project.

If a specific project or idea arises, these groups initially have a leader. But even this role is very loosely defined and often only exists until someone else swaps with them because they prefer to work directly on their project.

Therefore, there is no real boss in any department; much is done or developed independently. Many of these departments also dissolve quickly if the idea is not recognized as meaningful.

This is also the reason why the employees of games at Valve, such as in Portal 2, are listed in alphabetical order, without indication of the team they belong to or the contribution they made to the development. Because it can happen that an employee has supported development in multiple areas.

Manor Lords announces new feature that players have been wanting for months – Hopes for positive reviews on Steam

Paul Kutzner 31. July 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The developer of the Steam hit Manor Lords announces a new feature. In return, he just wants positive reviews from you.

What kind of game is this? Manor Lords is a strategy game set in the medieval period. Here you can build your cities, manage your economy, and fight tactical battles.

The game was released in Early Access on Steam on April 26, 2024, and is mostly being developed by Greg Styczeń alone. In a post on X/Twitter, the developer has now announced a feature that players have been wishing for a long time.

Exchange feature for reviews

What kind of feature is this? As seen in the post on X/Twitter, the new feature allows players to set a limit on the consumption and production of buildings.

Previously, it was necessary to change or pause production in buildings once the required amount of a product was successfully produced. The new feature now solves this problem. You won’t have to constantly check your productions, and there will be no more produced or consumed than you need.

Months ago, players on Steam wished for this feature. Styczeń has now heard the players’ requests and will implement this feature. There is no specific date for this yet.
