During one of his live streams, the topic of Hobby Horsing comes up. Always curious, HandOfBlood immediately sets out and starts Googling this term.
What kind of hobby is this? Hobby Horsing is a sport where participants ride hobby horses and overcome various obstacles. Originating from Finland, this trend has spread worldwide. The athletes train intensively and participate in competitions where they showcase their skills in show jumping and dressage.

This is how the streamer reacts to the hobby: HandOfBlood then starts a video where he takes a closer look at this particular hobby. The clips show various girls and women jumping over obstacles with their hobby horses.
The whole thing is accompanied by fast-paced, pulsating music, which HandOfBlood immediately comments on: “Dude, the music here. It hits so hard, man.” Nonetheless, he continues to watch the people jump over the obstacles with impressive precision. “Imagine, you’re really into that,” he says laughing as he observes the jumps.
However, there is then a notable moment of realization: When a young woman, complete with hobby horse, jumps over an obstacle that is just as tall as she is, HandOfBlood’s eyes widen, and he moves closer to the screen to take a better look. He rewinds to the mentioned scene and says: “Okay, that was impressive. Holy shit. Dude, that’s as high as she is.”
After watching the video for a while, HandOfBlood comes to a moment of realization. He poses a profound question to his chat: “So, what I’m wondering at this moment is, if Tamina watches videos about the Magicon, does that look to her the way it does to me? Because then… uh…” His attempts to elaborate on the thought fail multiple times, which ultimately just makes him laugh.
The community responds with these comments of agreement:
TajTone writes: “I constantly wonder about that when I talk about a new Lego set or the latest Pokémon. Do other people think about it the same way I do about Hobby Horsing?”
Keny writes: “When Hänno plays a simulator, it’s like Hobby Horsing”
Danny writes: “We gamers mustn’t forget that E-sports have always been laughed at.”
BrickHero88 writes: “Yes, for sure, it looks the same from Tamina’s perspective”
In a new video, Marco from Nerdkultur analyzes the fifth episode of Season 2 of House of the Dragon. This time the focus is on the theme of rule and the question of who holds the power.
Attention Spoiler: The following post deals with Episode 5 of Season 2 of House of the Dragon. You should have watched the episode before reading.
Who is Marco Risch? Since 2015, Marco Risch has been discussing news, analyses, reviews, and interviews about current movies, series, or games on his YouTube channel Nerdkultur.
Additionally, 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, of which MeinMMO is also a part.
In a new video, he analyzes the latest episode of House of the Dragon and discusses, among other things, the theme of rulership:
Start video
Nerd Culture: House of the Dragon Analysis: Season 2 Episode 5
The Significance of Rulership
As Marco explains at the beginning of his video, the title of the episode is Regent. After the last episode, the question of who holds the power has shifted. Aemond, Alicent, Jace, Corlys, and Daemon are all characters that shape the theme of a certain rulership. As always, the focus is on the Iron Throne.
Dragons, which are considered gods, again change the power structure here. Meleys is dead, and this shows the common people that dragons are no longer the god-like weapons they were thought to be. Marco notes that the power and rule of the dragons are not infinite, and the common people are beginning to understand this.
Marco talks about Aegon II. He is alive, but we do not know how he is doing. He compares the images to Star Wars Episode 3 and the Emperor, who moves with the burnt body of Anakin and his guards. You can see his burnt face, and fittingly to his father Aegon, this time it is the other side.
Alicent cannot take up the rulership again. Like Rhaenys and Rhaenyra, she fails because she has the wrong gender. Aemond is now in charge.
Aemond initially tries to reverse the actions of his insane brother, but he excludes the people and their misery. According to Marco, this is again a symbol that the rulers ignore the power of the people. Doubt in the Greens is rising, but there are also people who want to use the power of the people.
Elsewhere, Daemon faces problems with the Riverlands. Through his actions, he has incurred the wrath of those lords. His situation is also symbolized by his seat. He sits alone on a stone, not on a powerful dragon.
You can also find another analysis of the episode in Marco and Yves Arievich’s podcast:

The mystique and importance of the character Alys Rivers are hinted at again in the current episode. Marco explains that it is unclear whether she truly exists, as only Daemon talks to her or interacts with her. Is she just a vision of his or always seen according to his visions?
Rhaenyra and Daemon share the same fate; both are trapped in their own fortress. A current problem is too many dragons. There are not enough people who can ride them. This is now supposed to change, even if it contradicts the divine status of the Targaryens.

Are you looking for a suitable name for your dragons in World of Warcraft? We will tell you how to create the perfect dragon name.
In World of Warcraft, since Dragonflight, the new race of the Dracthyr is available to play. But before you can start, you face quite a difficult task. How should you name the new Dracthyr? After all, you don’t want to showcase the naming talent of average hunters by naming your character “Dráchênpâúl.”
That’s why we have some tips for you on how to name your Dracthyr.
Dragon Names – Suitable Names for the Dracthyr in WoW
Those who are more familiar with names in World of Warcraft already know that dragon names usually sound quite similar – depending on which dragonflight they belong to.
Endings – How (almost) all Dragon Names End
Depending on which dragonflight a dragon belongs to, it has a different ending. So if you want a name that suits your color or lineage, pay attention to the following endings:
Red Dragons: -strasz for male characters, -strasza for female characters
Blue Dragons: -gos for male characters, -gosa for female characters
Bronze Dragons: -ormu for male characters, -ormi for female characters
Green: -us for male characters, -ra for female characters
With black dragons, it’s not always that clear-cut, and some stand out from the rest. However, there is generally a trend.
Black Dragons: -ian and -ion for male characters, -ia for female characters
With that, you already have the necessary building blocks to find a suitable dragon name. You can simply modify any name with these endings.
If you want to sound “even more” like a WoW dragon, you can also lean the first part of the name a bit. Many dragon names also refer to the function or color of their flight. Therefore, the first part of the name can – but does not have to – be the beginning of a term related to the color or function of the respective flight.
Here are a few examples:
“Chronormu” is composed of the term “Chronos” (“Time”) and the ending “-ormu.” It is therefore a bronze dragon.
“Azuregos” is composed of the term “Azure” (a shade of blue) and the ending “-gos,” so it is a blue dragon.
“Onyxia” is composed of the term “Onyx” (a mineral) and the ending “-ia,” meaning it is a female black dragon.
The functions of the individual flights are summarized here once again.
Red Dragonflight: Protects life and creation.
Blue Dragonflight: Takes care of magic and the arcane.
Green Dragonflight: Protects nature and the Emerald Dream.
Bronze Dragonflight: Protects the timelines and observes them.
Black Dragonflight: Preserves the earth / the planet.
However, note that not all dragons strictly follow these guidelines, and some can definitely stand out. But if you want a “typical” dragon name, you should be safe with the tips above.

In Once Human, you can quickly lose track of all the locations and items to discover. You can get a much better overview of the game world with an interactive map.
What is an interactive map? An interactive map displays the game world, and you can interact with the representations. You can select and deselect different icons and, if necessary, make your own markings. An interactive map is a great advantage for exploring the game world.
Get a glimpse of the game world of Once Human with our video:

Interactive map for explorers of the creepy game world
Which interactive map can we recommend? In fact, we can even suggest two maps for Once Human. Both provide you with a good overview of the game, but each has its own style:
The two maps are only available in English. If you create an account at Mapgenie and log in, you can access additional functionalities. For example, you can set your own markers, track your collectibles, and create your own symbols for your markers.
Among other things, you can display the following elements on the Mapgenie map:
What should be noted when exploring? When you embark on a journey of discovery in the vast game world of Once Human, you should always set out rested, fed, and hydrated. This gives you the best chances of returning alive.
When you discover a new area, you should first explore the new materials. You can also work with the interactive map here: set your own markers to return later to places that contain important resources. However, pay attention to the individual areas.
Each area of the map is divided into its level category. So don’t be reckless and scout the surroundings for much stronger enemies. If you ignore this, you could die quickly.
The world of Once Human is large, and it is worth exploring it. It seems much smaller and less creepy when you are out with your friends. To survive safely with them, you should create a shared Hive.

In January 2022, Microsoft announced that it would acquire the gaming giant Activision Blizzard. Many objections were raised against this acquisition, primarily from Sony. However, market regulators feared that such a large player could emerge in the gaming market, which would have disadvantages for the customers. In October 2023, the deal worth $75.4 billion went through nonetheless. Yet, a regulatory authority still refuses to accept it. They criticize the price increases in the Xbox Game Pass.
Who wants to reverse the deal? The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is an independent federal agency of the USA. The agency’s task is to combat unfair practices to ensure that a market functions through healthy competition among companies.
It is basically the antitrust authority of the USA.
This is what the FTC sees as the problem with the deal: The FTC had already filed an objection against the deal in December 2022, sued against it, and filed an appeal with the appellate court after the initial lawsuit failed.
Now they feel again confirmed in their objection. They believe that Microsoft is exploiting its now dominant position in the market to raise prices in the Xbox Game Pass.
Call of Duty is repeatedly a bone of contention regarding the deal:
Start video
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 Multiplayer Trailer
US Authority Sees Effective Price Increase in Xbox Game Pass of Up to 81%
This is their new complaint: In a submission to the appellate court dated July 18, it is now stated (via twitter):
Microsoft is increasing its prices from $16.99 to $19.99 per month – a price increase of 17%
Additionally, they would discontinue the Console Game Pass for €10.99 and transition people to a Game Pass Ultimate – which represents a price increase of 81%
Or people could switch to a “Game Pass Standard” for $14.99 – which involves a price increase of 36% and transitioning to a worse product, as the Day-One releases, the “most valuable games” would be missing
The FTC says: These price increases and the layoffs are clear indications that the company is exploiting its increased market power from the merger. Moreover, they do not align with the statements Microsoft made prior to the merger:
Microsoft had assured that the merger would benefit customers, as Xbox Game Pass customers could, for instance, play the new Call of Duty (from Activision Blizzard) on day one – without a price increase.
That is no longer the case, as one can only play the new CoD by paying the increased price.
What happens next? No one knows. It is unclear when the appellate court will decide and what a ruling could mean.
“Reversal of a merger” is very rare (via polygon). In 2009, two grocery chains merged but lost their appeal against the merger. Ultimately, they had to give up 32 stores and a brand name.
With the series based on the Xbox franchise Halo, Paramount created a video game adaptation in the science fiction genre. However, it has now been announced that the series will be canceled. Fans can still hold on to a glimmer of hope, as this does not necessarily mean the end.
As Variety reports, the streaming service announced that it will not continue the series with a 3rd season. Paramount also stated that it thanks Xbox, 343 Industries, and Amblin Television and is proud of the product.
A reason for the cancellation has not yet been provided.
Just before the release of the series, the latest Halo installment was also launched:

Will we never see a 3rd season? According to Variety, unnamed sources have informed that Xbox, 343 Industries, and Amblin Television are trying to find other platforms to host the 3rd season. The article by 3DJuegos even reports that Paramount is supposed to support the continuation of the series.
343 Industries also commented on the cancellation, thanking Paramount and the fans for the alleged success of the series.
We greatly appreciate the millions of fans who have contributed to the global success of the Halo series, and we will continue to expand the Halo universe in various ways. We are grateful to Amblin and Paramount for their partnership, which has allowed us to bring our expansive sci-fi universe closer to audiences around the world.
343 Industries about the Halo series in light of the cancellation (Source: Variety)
One can only speculate why the series is now being canceled. 343 Industries speaks of a global success. Screen Rant reports that the 1st season was the second most successful series on Paramount+ at its release, despite criticism from fans. However, the exact figures are not known.
The Halo series was not the first adaptation of the Xbox brand. There have been films and an anime before. Even if the series is searching for a new partner, it may take a long time for deals to be finalized or for any filming to begin.

Due to the uncertainties regarding the contents of the pre-order packages for the MMORPG Corepunk after the announcement, the developers are now releasing a clarification.
What is included in the pre-order packages of Corepunk, and what is not? Anyone who indulges in a pre-order package for the MMORPG will receive the following in any case:
Access to Alpha Playtest 4
Access to Early Access
Access to the release version and the content of the first season
If there are any price changes for Corepunk at a later date, this will not affect the buyers of the pre-order packages.
What is not included in the pre-order packages?
The contents of all subsequent seasons and expansions.
If you want to see gameplay of Corepunk, watch the trailer:

Corepunk – 15 Minutes Gameplay
Which package should it be?
What pre-order packages are available for Corepunk? You have the choice between three packages:
Corepunk: Light Bless the King (Standard)
Price: 33 Euros
Special in-game HUD
403 helmet skin
Corepunk: Light Bless the King 0x405
Price: 43 Euros
Special in-game HUD
403 helmet skin
405 skin for the mana bike mount
Corepunk: Light Bless the King 0x403
Price: 53 Euros
Special in-game HUD
403 helmet skin
403 skin for the mech spider mount
Looks a bit like League of Legends, but it’s Corepunk.
What does the further roadmap for Corepunk look like? Since the third alpha test has gone well enough, the developers plan to launch the early access of the MMORPG in 2024:
Early access starts on November 26, 2024
Alpha test 4 runs from August 6, 2024 to September 6, 2024
How long the early access phase will last is unclear. However, it is certain that there will be European servers and the game will only support the English language.
In the game, you can expect six classes with a total of 18 different specializations – including unusual archetypes like bombers – as well as dungeons and raids that are intended to be comparable to Mythic (the highest difficulty level in WoW). Additionally, there are PvE contents in the open world, which is equipped with a fog of war that conceals content outside the field of vision.
You can learn various crafting professions, with each character only able to master one perfectly. Moreover, the best recipes are hidden, so you should know the players on your server who master the respective profession best.
Bosses are big chunks in The First Descendant that can knock you down. Most of the time, you have to dodge attacks and can’t attack constantly. However, with one trick, you can have much more relaxed boss fights – and you even learn it in the intro.
What is this trick? To defeat bosses more easily, you should focus on their weak points. These are marked in blue for all bosses. If you consistently attack these weak points with high damage, they turn yellow. Now you can target them with your grappling hook and zip to them.
Once you’ve zipped to them, you can deliver further attacks on these points to break the boss’s posture. Once the posture is broken, the bosses fall to their knees and are immobile for a short moment. During this moment, you can shred the boss into pieces in seconds without having to worry about dodging or placing shots correctly.
Does the trick work on all bosses? The trick with the weak points and grappling works on all bosses that have visible weak points. These are well marked by color and cannot be missed.
Which descendant should I use to approach the bosses? This depends on which playstyle you want to adopt. With Bunny, you can move quickly and dodge well, but the best option for a powerful damage output is a Gley Build. This descendant can deal massive damage with their skills “Frenzy” and “Enhanced Senses” and the weapon “Withered Organ” and doesn’t have to worry about ammunition since it is not consumed.
Google, Apple, and others have long been considered the most desirable employers. However, recent numbers show that this has changed significantly. Where tech companies once dominated, now hospitals and the FBI take the lead.
Where do the numbers come from? Every two years, the “National Society of High School Scholars” surveys its members on how they assess their future job prospects. More than 10,000 people participate in the surveys. From the collected data, a ranking of the companies that these students most prefer to work for is created each time.
This year’s figures for 2024 are surprising because once-popular tech companies like Apple and Microsoft have fallen behind. Typically, these companies always hold top positions in the rankings.
Major Tech Companies Fall Behind for the First Time in Years
What did the ranking look like before? In the last survey (2022), Spotify, Google, and Amazon were among the top 5 companies desired by these future members of the workforce. This is reported by colleagues at 3Djuegos.com.
What do the survey results look like? However, 2024 looks different: All major tech companies, from Google to Microsoft, have fallen behind the Mayo Clinic, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, or the public health service. Even NASA and the FBI rank higher than any other major company in Silicon Valley, which hasn’t been the case for years. The complete survey can be found as a PDF directly at NSHS.org. The current top 10 are (the ranking from 2022 in parentheses):
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (2)
Mayo Clinic (7)
Health Care Service Corp. (14)
Local Hospital (1)
FBI (6)
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) (12)
Google (4)
Amazon (5)
Apple (8)
Walt Disney Company (10)
Other companies have been hit even harder: Spotify, which was among the top 5 for years, has fallen from 3rd place to 26th in 2024. And SpaceX has dropped from 9th place (2022) to 22nd.
What is the reason for this? As reported by the company Handshake, many young workers do not find what was promised to them at tech companies: They cannot change the world or develop technologies that could improve the future.
There is simply a lack of passion for the future of technology that these individuals exhibited just two years ago.
Instead, they end up at a publicly traded company, which does not hesitate to lay off a large part of its workforce only to later say that they continue to grow year after year. However, this contradicts the expectations of many young people, who show their fear of layoffs and think differently than their older colleagues.
An expert recently explained why the work attitude of Gen Z has nothing to do with laziness but with a different mindset about life. And this also highlights that many popular tech companies are performing significantly worse: Expert says: Gen Z is not lazy, they have different expectations of work

At the moment, Barbarians are still the absolute top class in Diablo 4. With Season 5, however, many of their builds will be nerfed – even those that are technically “off-meta”. Because of this, a player is now sharing their super secret OP build because they can only play it for a few more weeks anyway. And it looks completely absurd.
What kind of build is this?
The build has received the subtitle “Frog Barbarian” in the community.
True to its name, your character jumps around with the build and crushes enemies without cooldown. You can see what this looks like best on YouTube.
This is how the Frog Barbarian works: The build plays with only four skills: Battle Cry, Challenging Cry, War Cry, and Jump. The damage, however, like many Barbarian builds, comes from the Dust Devils that you summon.
The gameplay itself is easy: You jump around and summon whirlwinds that shred enemies. The cooldown is constantly reset. However, your equipment must match:
You need to harden your equipment correctly: Where possible, you need cooldown reduction on Jump and Barbarian skills.
Additionally, you need to increase the damage of Dust Devils and the damage while in Berserker mode on your weapons.
For Legendary items, you especially need the Trembling Aspect, Giant Steps, Bul-Kathos, and Whipping Winds.
Not necessary, but very helpful is the coveted Harlequin Crown (“Shako”), because you want many additional levels on Jump and the passive effect Shaking.
For more damage, the Uber-Uniques Grandfather and Tyrael’s Might are useful.
With the combination of Legendaries, you leave an earthquake when you jump. While you are in the effect, you deal more damage and take less. Additionally, you reset the cooldown of Jump to be able to use the skill continuously.
The damage ultimately comes from many multipliers for Dust Devils as well as bleed effects. By jumping, you are basically in Berserker mode all the time and receive almost permanent buffs from your cries – depending on how many enemies are nearby.
This is how the Spiritborn plays, the new class in Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred
“My Super Secret Sauce”
On Reddit as well as on YouTube, users celebrate the build as absurd and fun. They say: Jumping around like this looks completely ridiculous but also like a lot of fun. It is regarded as “the craziest build” seen this season.
However, the creator states: Once the nerfs come with Season 5, the build will be absolutely dead. This is due to the upcoming adjustment of the central passive ability Gaping Wounds.
In the preview of Season 5 by Rob many class changes can already be seen, including the nerf of Gaping Wounds. Roughly, the damage here is halved, and effects that have synergy with bleeding are also affected.
However, some other users believe: Even without this passive skill, the build should work. Other builds that rely on bleeding would also still be good – just not as strong as they are currently. How it will actually look, we will probably only know in Season 5.
With the new season, the Barbarian will receive (deserved) nerfs, but all other classes will be significantly stronger. Blizzard has already implemented a lot of feedback from the PTR and is currently refining the changes for the upcoming season. After the criticism following the test, it now looks really good: “The game is getting better and better” – Season 5 initially looked sluggish, but now excites players

The 5 Best Weapons in Once Human
In our selection, you will find weapons for every distance and playstyle – whether you want to overwhelm your enemies in close combat or eliminate them from a distance.
The mentioned weapons also exist in other rarity levels, whose blueprint fragments you can farm. You can equip and try out these variants as alternatives. If you have collected enough fragments of a blueprint – identifiable by a yellow symbol on the blueprint – you need to “merge” them to craft the weapon yourself.
Ranged Combat: Compound Bow
Why is the weapon so strong? The bow is excellent for clearing enemies from a distance. It deals significant damage, and the legendary weapon’s skill increases reload speed and critical hit rate when you hit enemies.
How to obtain the weapon: You get the legendary bow through the wish machine. Blueprint fragments for the purple variant (Recurve Crossbow) can be obtained from chests in “Evergreen” in the “Red Sands” area. The currency for the wish machine is Star Chrome, which you earn through various tasks in the objective. You cannot buy the currency.
You obtain the legendary Compound Bow from the wish machine.
Ranged Combat: AWS.338 – Bingo
Why is the weapon so strong? With the AWS.338 – Bingo, you have a strong option for long-range combat. Thanks to the legendary weapon’s skill, the precision rifle is particularly suited for large enemies and bosses, as damage is increased through weak point shots.
How to obtain the weapon: You can acquire the legendary precision rifle as a blueprint in the wish machine with Star Chrome. There is a chance you will receive the rifle in activities such as in silos in the “Red Sands” area. You can find the blueprint for the purple variant (AWS.338 – Black Panther) in “Furnace Lair” in the Chalk Peak area. The main quest will also lead you there.
The AWS.338 – Bingo is perfect for eliminating enemies from a distance.
Mid-range: KVD – Boom! Boom!
Why is the weapon so strong? The LMG has a chance to ignite enemies in its legendary variant. If you kill enemies with burns, an explosion occurs that deals fire damage. The weapon is particularly enjoyable against groups of enemies. With the “Flame Blessing Talent” mod (which you find in chests), you also regenerate health points when you kill enemies with burns.
How to obtain the weapon: You can acquire the legendary LMG as a blueprint in the wish machine with Star Chrome. Blueprint fragments for the blue variant (KVD – Icebreaker) can be found in chests in the starting areas.
The KVD – Boom! Boom! is a lot of fun with its fire damage.
Medium to Long Range: AKM – Abyss Gaze
Why is the weapon so strong? The AKM resembles the AK-47 and has the skill “Frost Vortex” in its legendary variant. This creates an area that deals frost damage and slows down enemies. The closer you are to the center of the activated frost vortex, the higher the damage of the skill.
How to obtain the weapon: You can acquire the legendary rifle as a blueprint in the wish machine with Star Chrome. Blueprint fragments for the purple variant (AKM – Crank) can be obtained from chests in “Fort Eyrie” in the “Red Sands” area.
The AKM – Abyss Gaze resembles the AK-47.
Melee: Stun Baton
Why is the weapon so strong? If you want to beat down your enemies in close combat, the Stun Baton is the right choice for you. With normal attacks, there is a chance you inflict electric shocks on your enemies. Heavy attacks deal additional damage through electric shocks.
How to obtain the weapon: By collecting blueprint fragments while exploring “Holt Town” in the Chalk Peak area from chests and merging them together.
At level 4, the Stun Baton deals a good amount of damage.
Honorable Mention: DB12 – Money Rain
For fans of shotguns, the DB12 – Money Rain is the strongest choice in Once Human. You can purchase the legendary weapon in the wish machine with Star Chrome – as well as the purple variant (DB12 – Recoil). The blueprint fragments for the variants apparently cannot be farmed, nonetheless, the powerful shotgun is worth mentioning. The skill of the legendary weapon increases your damage and critical hit rate. Additionally, the skill reduces incoming damage while it is active.
You obtain the DB12 – Money Rain from the wish machine.
What is the wish machine? The wish machine is a feature in Once Human through which you can obtain weapons and armor. There are two options for this:
You “buy” specific items with Star Chrome. You earn the currency by completing tasks and seasonal objectives.
You gamble for the items with a mini-game where you hit a figure with a hammer. Each hit costs Star Chrome.
With the first option, you acquire exactly the items you want. However, the second option works on a sort of luck principle with a certain chance for specific items. Additionally, not all items are always available in the prize pool, but only selected ones. The better the category you gamble in, the more expensive the attempts are. This way, your Star Chrome runs out quickly, and you may still not have the weapon you want.
The Best Weapon for Beginners
Which weapon is best equipped at the start? In the tutorial of Once Human, you receive the Rustic Crossbow, which is good for starting out. This way, you can eliminate enemies from a greater distance. You can even craft the arrows at your tent in the open world with wood and gravel.
In addition, you can equip a melee weapon of your choice, because: They deal considerable damage in the survival game and you don’t use ammunition.
The Rustic Crossbow deals good damage and is suitable for beginners.
Find or craft weapons? In Once Human, you can find not only blueprint fragments but also weapons that you can equip directly. The advantage is that you have the chance to use stronger weapons whose blueprints you do not yet have. The disadvantage, however, is that you cannot repair found weapons.
So you have to weigh whether you want to take the risk and lose a found weapon through wear. Otherwise, you can always switch between found and crafted weapons until you have completed the blueprints for your desired weapons and can manufacture them.
Which weapons do you prefer in Once Human? And are you more of a close combat person or do you mow down your enemies from a safe distance? Feel free to leave us a comment. Not only do the weapons play an important role, but also the combat mutations. What mutations exist in the survival game and how they can support you, you can find out here: Once Human: All deviations at a glance – This is how you find the mutations

A voice actor and YouTuber had a brilliant idea: He is auctioning a gaming date with the streamer Pokimane (28), who has long been a star on Twitch, for charity. Huge bids are coming in, but they are fake.
This is the idea:
The voice actor Connor “CDawgVA” Colquhoun is hosting a charity event and raising donations for the “Immune Deficiency Foundation”.
As a special gag, he is offering a gaming session with Pokimane. With her, you can play your favorite games and share an unforgettable experience.
Pokimane holds a special position in the gaming cosmos, as she was the only woman in the top 10 on Twitch by follower count for years. Her fans have often been accused of only watching her because she is attractive and thinking they have a chance with her. “Pokimane Tier-3 Subs” were essentially the simps of Twitch before the term “simp” even existed.
Pokimane is among the streamers who were able to professionalize through Prime Gaming:

Prime Gaming, the secret behind Twitch’s success
Bids over $500,000 for a date with Pokimane were fake
The organizer is quite angry about this. He says it is “super cringe” to place fake bids at a charity auction. There is nothing sadder in life than to make false donations for a good cause. That is just extremely sad.
Even though the $500,000 is fake, the real bids are still very high.

Who is bidding such large amounts? One of the bidders, who went up to $19,000, is the Twitch streamer StableRonaldo (21). He made his money with Fortnite and is using the auction to create content for himself.
What does Pokimane say about it? She shared a relatively low bid of $2,550 and fluted:
“Your only chance to play with me LMAO”.
Pokimane apparently didn’t find the phrasing “share an unforgettable experience” very nice (via twitter). Other Twitter users said it sounded like she was being auctioned off by a pimp.
For years, Pokimane actually had a flawless image and made sure to always come across as professional and friendly. Although she was under special scrutiny as the only woman in the top 10 for years, she managed to do this excellently with few exceptions. However, in her recent actions on Twitch, she has faced sharp criticism when she launched a product: The highest moral authority of Twitch condemns Pokimane’s behavior in the cookie affair.

In The First Descendant, you can optimize your build with modules. Here you can see where to find themodule “Singular Specialist”.
Where do you get the module? To obtain the “Singular Specialist” module, you need to travel to the “Fortress” area. The module will drop there during various missions.
If you haven’t entered the area yet, you need to continue playing the main story.
If you haven’t seen the gameplay trailer for The First Descendant yet, you can catch up here:

The First Descendant – Gameplay-Trailer
A quick way to the module
How do you get the module most effectively? In the “Fortress” area, there are several missions where you can obtain the module. The best option is the mission “Entrance to the Fortress Headquarters” on the “normal” difficulty.
To have some variety in missions, you can open the journal and check which missions allow you to farm the module. For that, go to “Infos” in the journal and then to “Modules” to see all modules, their drop chances, and the corresponding missions.
As with any good loot shooter, some grind and persistence are necessary here too. If you don’t receive a Singular Specialist module after completing the mission, you can simply repeat it until you have the desired item.
You can play the quests in both normal and hard mode, with the drop chance increasing if you play the tougher missions.
What can the module do? It is a boost of the rarity level “Normal” that gives you a hefty bonus of 19 percent to your “Singular Skill Strength Modifier”. This allows you to increase the damage you deal with your Singular skills.
The module belongs to the Descendant modules and is therefore found in your inventory under the “Descendants” tab.
Is the module worth it? Definitely, but it mainly depends on the played Descendant and which skill types you want to enhance. The individual abilities of the Descendants have different skill types. The module boosts the skill type “Singular” and is therefore only meaningful if you frequently use skills of the Singular type.
Thus, the Singular Specialist is a solid choice to boost your skills with Descendants like Gley, Bunny, Enzo, Jayber, Lepic, and Yujin.
If you want to deal high damage in sustained fire, we have a build for you focused on enduring firepower. With the build for Gley, you’ll never run out of ammunition in battle while keeping the aliens at bay:The First Descendant Gley Build: Never Run Out of Ammo

The animated series Rick and Morty now includes seven seasons. This summer, an anime begins, based on the stories of Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith. The anime could offer Morty something he has not received in seven seasons of the animated series.
What could Morty get in the anime? In the seven seasons of the animated series, Morty never managed to sustain a long-term relationship. He had several interests, but none of the short-term relationships developed into a familiar bond.
This could change in the anime. In the opening and the trailers for Rick and Morty: The Anime, a mysterious girl with blonde hair appears. She seems to not originate from the animated series and appears to be Morty’s girlfriend.
The mysterious girl appears to be Morty’s girlfriend.
In the trailer, there are scenes showing Morty making out with the girl. We also see the blonde lady taking selfies with Morty and his family. No girlfriend of Morty’s has been this intimate, so it could be a first for him to have a steady girlfriend.
Ultimately, we will have to wait and see how the relationship between the two develops. However, we can assume that the girl will play an important role in the anime.
You can see the girlfriend in the following trailer for Rick and Morty: The Anime:

Morty has so far been unsuccessful in romantic relationships
Has he never had a girlfriend? Morty has often tried to build a serious relationship in the animated series. He traveled across the universe and encountered strange girls like:
Gwendolyn, a sex robot
Arthricia, a cat person
Planetina, a parody of Captain Planet
Among the girls Morty liked the most was Jessica. Unfortunately, the two of them only managed a brief relationship.
Morty even managed to have a long-term relationship once. However, he eventually used a remote control that rewound time. Unfortunately, Morty couldn’t win over the lady on his second attempt. Therefore, he ended up empty-handed.
What is Rick and Morty: The Anime? The anime, like the animated series of the same name, revolves around the Smith household. Living in the house are the mad scientist Rick, his grandson Morty, his granddaughter Summer, his daughter Beth, and his son-in-law Jerry.
In the anime, Rick and Morty will once again travel through different dimensions and experience adventures. In doing so, they will encounter different versions of themselves. The anime’s art style has softer outlines than the original.
The series was produced partly in Japan and partly in the USA. The main person responsible for the anime is Takashi Sano. The first season is reported to have 10 episodes and will premiere on August 16, 2024, on the pay-TV channel Warner TV Comedy.
In Pokémon GO, you receive candy when catching Pokémon. Some trainers share insights about the impressive amount they have collected over time.
What are candies? In Pokémon GO, you receive species-specific candies for catching monsters. You need these to trigger evolutions, learn a second charge attack, or to make the Pokémon stronger.
If you have been playing for a while and have collected many specimens of a Pokémon, you may have accumulated quite a few candies over time.
On Reddit, trainers are now sharing screenshots of Pokémon for which they have collected the most candies. And some numbers are impressive, shocking, or shockingly impressive.

Heavenly teamwork in Pokémon GO – a new season begins
Almost 88,000 Candies
How many candies have the trainers collected? Some of the trainers post significant candy amounts they have collected in the Reddit post. A few trainers have the following amounts:
Trainer CDR_Chicken boasts an impressive 11,097 Meltan candies
Trainer ElliotDunlo has collected 31,392 Rattata candies
Trainer GeordieAI has gathered 59,735 Pikachu candies
Trainer superawesomeflyguy has 76,870 Corviknight candies in their inventory
But one trainer surpasses them all. Trainer 5n0t posted a screenshot showing 87,928 Eevee candies. If the trainer had caught all Eevee without using berries, mega, and event bonuses, more than 29,300 Eevee would have been necessary for this amount of candies.
If they had caught all Eevee using berries but without any further bonuses and thus received 6 candies per catch, the required number of Eevee would still be over 14,650 Eevee.
And even if they had received all Eevee with maximum bonuses, the number of Eevee would still be in the range of several thousand specimens.
In addition to the impressive number of Eevee candies, their screenshot also reveals 6,697 XL candies for Eevee and a whopping 53,747,971 Stardust. Those are also impressive numbers that very few trainers can boast of.
How did the trainer collect so many candies? When asked how the trainer managed to gather so many candies, they provide a simple answer:
I always use berries and trade them in for three candies.
It is not clear how long they have been working to achieve such quantities of candies. If you want to receive more candies with the help of your friends, check out how you can get candies while trading.

If there is one character from The Boys that is most prominently shown online, it is Homelander. This is also due to the grand performance by Anthony Starr, who spoke about Homelander as an idol in an interview in the context of Season 4.
Warning Spoiler: The following article contains very light spoilers for Season 4 of The Boys.
How does Anthony Starr describe Homelander? The New Zealand actor talked to Vulture in the context of the finale of Season 4 of The Boys . There he expressed his views on the implications of the finale and, of course, about his character.
In the interview, he begins by describing Homelander. He compares the end of the season to the end of the second act in a film. Here he also talks about how he has to portray Homelander. He wants to portray him as a narcissist and fascist who has won.
He compares Homelander and his supporters to the Empire from Star Wars. In the interview, he explains how he wants to make Homelander a three-dimensional character. This also distinguishes the character from his comic counterpart: The Boys: The biggest Homelander twist will probably never be seen on Amazon
A trailer for Season 4 can be found here:

The Boys – Trailer for Season 4 of the adult superhero series
People should not idolize Homelander
Despite Homelander’s sad past, he is not a character to whom one should show sympathy and empathy, as that is not an excuse for his actions. Starr describes him as someone who has multiple sides, depending on whether he appears in public or acts in private.
Despite his clearly evil actions and function as an antagonist, many fans seem to see Homelander as an idol. Anthony Starr does not think this is good, as he reveals in the interview.
The strange thing is that some people idolize him and see him as a kind of leader for their own cause in the real world, which is a bit disturbing.
Despite this, he believes that by the end of the current season, these people will realize that he is not a hero or an idol, but the villain.
Starr does not want to take a political side. In the interview, he also agrees with series creator Eric Kripke that Homelander shares a lot with Donald Trump. He does not want to offend anyone and believes that there are people on both sides who are just afraid. He is not the character from the series; he is just playing him. Starr only wants to encourage people to use the democratic system. Due to his strength, Homelander is of course also included in our power list: The Boys: The 10 strongest “superheroes” in the power ranking
