German Twitch streamer reveals that she failed school because of League of Legends

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Isabell “HoneyPuu” Schneider is the most watched woman in the German streaming scene. She has been gaming since she was 13 years old, primarily League of Legends – and her grades suffered because of it.

Which streamer is being talked about? Isabell “HoneyPuu” Schneider is the most watched streamer on German Twitch. For a long time, it was Reved, who has been seldom streaming due to health issues for a while. HoneyPuu started on Twitch with League of Legends – but her school grades had to suffer, as she reported now.

When she started gaming, her grades dropped

How was it back in school? In a stream on July 15, 2024, HoneyPuu reported that she was a really good student. Her grades were always “really top” – until she started gaming at the age of 13.

This hobby later impacted the streamer’s grades so drastically that she eventually did not pass the 9th grade: “I started with League [of Legends] and then I was held back.” Similarly, MeinMMO editor Jasmin also experienced this back then.

Twitch instead of studying to become a veterinarian

How did this affect her? As HoneyPuu reports, gaming eventually took over: She even skipped her basketball training for it and told her father, who was also her coach, that she had to study. The deception probably became clear when she came home with a 6.

The bad grades ultimately led to the fact that after her first aborted training, the streamer could only complete her intended veterinary studies at a private university abroad. With streaming, HoneyPuu wanted to finance her studies – instead, she became so successful that she ultimately gave up further education (via TikTok).

In the end, it seems to have paid off, as HoneyPuu can now even support her family with her streaming career – for example, by grabbing little goodies for her WoW-gaming brothers. Her mother even recently told her: “Good that you never listened to your father and finished your education.”

You can currently find the entire stream on Twitch, the topic starts at 13:50.

In fact, more and more young people are opting out of further education when they can earn a lot of money early as an influencer, like Fibii, who rose to be one of the biggest German streamers at 16.

It becomes difficult, however, when one suffers under the streaming career without having a real alternative. This seems to be happening to the Luxembourger Letshugo right now: He dropped out of school because Twitch was more important to him – now LetsHugo feels broken and wants a break

The streamer with the most followers on Twitch says: ‘Streaming has become terrible and is getting worse’

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

Streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins still has the most followers on Twitch. But he misses the good old days when Twitch was more about playing and less about talking. He criticizes the developments over the past few years since May 2020, especially the amount of drama and cancel culture.

Who is Ninja?

  • Tyler “Ninja” Blevins (33) was a typical shooter streamer on Twitch for a long time: Talented and extremely ambitious, but hot-tempered, he would curse vulgarity at anyone who dared to defeat him in a shooter. He played games like Halo, PUBG, or H1Z1.
  • In 2017, he discovered Fortnite: Battle Royale. At that time, the main game, a kind of shooter-Minecraft, had just failed, and the developers of Unreal Tournament had created a blatant PUBG copy. Ninja dove into the game. As a talented shooter player, he was able to rampage in matches with 99 randomly selected players and dominate the early days of the shooter.
  • A fairy-tale rise on Twitch began, lasting until 2019. Ninja stopped cursing, became rich, famous, a bit egotistical. To this day, Ninja still has the most followers on Twitch from that time: No one has yet come close to his 19 million – though it seems likely that Spanish Ibai will overtake him in the foreseeable future.

Ninja criticizes cancel culture on Twitch

This is what Ninja says now: Ninja laments the current state of streaming on Twitch in a stream:

  • Some people are only focused on trying to cancel others or cause them trouble – as seen recently in the popular sketch. Every day, someone is either canceled or at least an attempt is made
  • Ninja says streaming has become so stupid. He is so fed up with it. Someone does something suspicious, and a million people jump in to express their opinions that no one asked for
  • People say things like “Win here” – “Loss there” – “I can’t support this”. He’s had enough of it all.

What does Ninja long for? Ninja wishes for a Twitch like in 2016, when everything revolved around video games.

He misses the days of PUBG; when clips were shared, people laughed and tagged each other.

Nowadays, millions of “drama channels” have taken over Twitch, pushing out the era of funny clips, and it’s getting worse.

“I’m too old for this shit”

What’s next? Ninja becomes a bit melancholic and says, “Maybe I’m getting too old for this shit.” He’s been doing this for 13, 14 years now.

He reminisces about the “good old days” when he was still streaming from his parents’ basement and becomes thoughtful when he sees young streamers starting their careers on Twitch with a $5 webcam from their parents’ basement.

He concludes with: “I don’t know how much longer I will do this – maybe 5 years, maybe just one more year.”

Twitch tilted away from gaming in May 2020 with Covid

What’s behind it: Many streamers who grew up with gaming realized they could earn more money and reach even more viewers by simply watching and reacting to other videos or content.

In Germany, MontanaBlack rose to fame with shooters like Call of Duty or Fortnite, later switched to gambling, and largely became a reaction streamer, watching other people’s videos while eating, or when necessary, even playing a SpiegelTV documentary:

  • In 2018, MontanaBlack streamed 618 hours of Fortnite, 166 hours of CoD: Black Ops 4, and 39 hours of Just Chatting
  • In 2020, he streamed 333 hours of Just Chatting and 284 hours of CoD: Warzone, 78 hours of Fortnite, and 62 hours of FIFA
  • In 2022, he streamed 381 hours of Just Chatting, 97 hours of GTG 5, 96 hours of FIFA 23, and 64 hours of Fortnite
  • In the last 365 days, MontanaBlack streamed 260 hours of Just Chatting, 100 hours of IRL, 87 hours of Special Events, and 72 hours of CS:GO (before he mainly focused on gambling and opening boxes)

MontanaBlack illustrates well the evolution from gaming to reacting and interacting with the chat in the last 4 to 6 years. Although lately, he has been going outside more, as he no longer feels so secure inside, and prefers to stream from “outside”.

Having grown up with gaming,

The trend that “Just Chatting” became the dominant category on Twitch began in May 2020 with the Covid pandemic. At that time, there was a lot of complaining about “Hot Tub” streamers: women who bypassed Twitch’s dress code by placing a bathtub in their living room and streaming in a bikini.

Since at least the “Johnny Depp/Amber Heard” trial in 2022, quite a bit has shifted, and many male streamers, who grew up with gaming, have moved away from gaming and switched to reactions and drama. Here in Germany, where we imitate trends from the USA, the meta has long been established.

The “canceling” that Ninja laments has been even more pronounced here in the past weeks compared to the USA. What happened to DrDisrespect and the sketch, which turned out relatively mildly, has hit two well-known influencers in our country hard: How 2.50 € plunged the German Twitch into chaos and led to the career end of two influencers

The Mangaka of Dragon Ball shows what happens to Son-Goku after the end of DBZ

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Akira Toriyama became famous for Dragon Ball. However, there are other mangas in which characters from Dragon Ball had cameo appearances. In one of these mangas, we even learn how Son-Goku is doing after the events of Dragon Ball Z.

What kind of manga is this? Akira Toriyama published eight issues of Nekomajin from 1999 to 2005. The manga is primarily known for its chapters “Neko Majin Z,” in which the author created a parody of Dragon Ball. Accordingly, characters from Dragon Ball appear repeatedly in the chapters.

You can view an excerpt of it in the following reddit post:

The manga takes place at the same time as Dragon Ball. We experience the adventures of some characters of the Neko-Majin race, who live on Earth. They are cats that possess magical abilities and are fans of martial arts.

There are many allusions to Dragon Ball, even beyond the cameo appearances of Son-Goku and friends:

  • Neko Majin, the protagonist of the same-named manga, possesses a staff that can stretch, just like Son-Goku, and a flying cloud.
  • Instead of the Kamehameha, he uses the Nekohameha.
  • There are characters like Onio, a corpulent Super Saiyan, and Kuriza, the son of Frieza.

Due to the appearances of certain characters, one can guess the time in which Nekomajin takes place. Son-Goku wears a blue training outfit and trains Oob, the reincarnation of Boo. Additionally, Pan is already past kindergarten age.

Accordingly, the manga is set after the Peaceful World Saga of Dragon Ball Z. Thus, we see how Son-Goku is doing after the victory over Boo.

Dragon Ball is further continued with Dragon Ball Daima:

Dragon Ball DAIMA is nostalgic in the new trailer

Son-Goku makes an appearance in Toriyama’s spin-off

How is Son-Goku doing? In chapter 7, there is a scene where Neko Majin meets his master Son-Goku. The two begin a training match, which Son-Goku can decide in his favor with a trick.

Afterwards, Son-Goku teleports with him to his house. There, Oob, Chi-Chi, the Ox-King, Pan, and Son-Goten greet the cat creature. It is supposed to catch a mouse in the storage that has settled there.

The story shows that Son-Goku, despite training with Oob, stays with his family. Even though he has taken care of the reincarnation of Boo, he does not neglect his loved ones. And that, although he had temporarily forgotten what his own granddaughter’s name is.

Is the story canon? As it is more of a parody, the story is not part of the official Dragon Ball narrative. However, the manga still illustrates how Son-Goku might fare after Dragon Ball Z. It was drawn personally by Toriyama and fits well into the story of Dragon Ball.

There are several people who could take on Son-Goku’s legacy. Besides Oob and his two sons, there is another person who could qualify as the protector of Earth: The heir of Son-Goku is neither Gohan nor Goten: Another character could be the future of Dragon Ball.

Pokémon GO: Trainer wants to help the game, but gets banned for it

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

A trainer in Pokémon GO just wanted to help the game. However, the help backfired and resulted in a ban for the player.

What did the trainer do? A friend of the trainer reported on Reddit that his friend had just reached Level 37. From this level onwards, trainers can access Niantic Wayfarer and submit their own PokéStops.

These are then checked by other trainers and can be approved by Niantic for the game.

The trainer did exactly this to submit his first own PokéStop. The next day, he received an email from Niantic. However, he was not informed that his PokéStop was approved, but that his account would be banned for 7 days.

Not the first case

Why was the trainer banned? In the Reddit post, a screenshot of the email from Niantic was attached. However, there is unfortunately no exact explanation for the ban.

It only states that the PokéStop violates the rules and that the account will be banned from Wayfarer and Pokémon GO for 7 days.

Additionally, the email mentions that further violations of the rules can result in a permanent ban.

Is this the first case of such a ban? No. There have been cases in the past where trainers were banned for submitting PokéStops. In many of these cases, multiple PokéStops were submitted by the trainers.

So the number of PokéStops could possibly also be a criterion for the temporary ban. In this current case, however, according to the creator of the Reddit post, this is the first PokéStop submitted by the trainer.

What does the community say about this? The trainer s-mores points out in the post on Reddit that there have been networks of bots in the past that automatically submitted PokéStops.

Through these activities, trainers who legitimately submitted a PokéStop coincidentally similar to the automated ones were also banned.

He writes: There have been cases where a network of bots conspired to approve nonsensical stops, and people who submitted similar stops were also temporarily banned. It could be a similar situation unless you submitted about 200 stops at once

Also, you can check the tips from an expert on applying for PokéStops to get more helpful hints on the topic.

Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 2 minutes

At the end of July, a new MMORPG will start in Early Access on Steam. At first glance, it resembles Palia, but allows you to master your daily life as witches. You can learn more about it here on MeinMMO.

Which game is this? The Canadian studio Digital Leisure is currently working on a new MMORPG called “Spellfarers.” The game is set to launch in Early Access on Steam on July 29, 2024. You can expect a relaxed sandbox adventure here, but with MMO and online co-op elements.

While mastering your daily life and getting to the bottom of the mysterious events, you can also interact with the villagers or other players in the village. You should even be able to form your own circle with fellow witches to collaborate together.

As developments are ongoing during Early Access, the developers state that there may naturally be some bugs and errors here and there. However, it is planned that Spellfarers will receive regular patches and that the developers want to incorporate player feedback.

Pokémon: Trainer accidentally loses two Shinys he has been searching for five days

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

Everyone plays Pokémon in their own way. A trainer prefers to spend their time in the game catching Shinys, and their current mission culminated in much emotion.

What is the trainer trying to do? The shiny hunter and streamer Aelfgar was on the hunt for a shiny Treecko. The Pokémon is the Grass starter of the third generation. To get a shiny, one must have a lot of luck when starting the game.

To speed up the hunt for Treecko, the shiny hunter is playing four versions of Pokémon Sapphire at the same time. Every time none of the screens shows a shiny, he presses the reset button and watches the game intro from the beginning again.

Here you can see three games like Pokémon Go:

How did his hunt go? The hunt for the shiny Treecko lasted five days. On the fifth day of watching the intro, seeing there is no shiny, and repeating, something incredible happened to the streamer.

Instead of just having one shiny on one screen, he suddenly has two shinys in front of him. But then the great evil happens: out of habit, the streamer presses the reset button again, erasing both shinys. This emotional rollercoaster was shared by the streamer on his account on X.com.

League of Legends finally has a proper PvE mode and a new champion who looks way too strong

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The new League of Legends Patch 14.14 has expanded the game with a new mode that has little to do with MOBA. In addition, there is a new champion who seems too strong at first glance.

What kind of character is this? The new character Aurora is a midlaner who can also be played on the top lane and in the jungle. Much of her gameplay revolves around movement. Her abilities give her good mobility and many options to escape in time.

Her ultimate ability traps opponents in a sort of shield and deals damage if they try to leave it. As if that weren’t enough, she can always teleport to the other side at the edge. This makes it practically impossible for opponents to escape. In combat, she resembles a mix of Camille and Lee Sin, with abilities similar to Ahri.

What do players think of her? In the YouTube comments, players are almost certain that the champion will be too strong. @dameshi279 writes: “Great, another champion that we’ll see in every single patch for at least a year.”

Also, @WhoseWho2701 has an opinion on the new champion: “Riot releases a champion to prevent us from banning Ahri”

Here you can watch the trailer for the new PvE mode:

Swarm – Trailer for the new LoL PvE mode

New PvE Mode is completely different from LoL

What kind of new PvE mode is this? In League of Legends, the new update has introduced an entirely new game mode reminiscent of Vampire Survivors. In the new PvE mode Swarm, you will battle hordes of enemies alongside up to 3 teammates.

What’s special is that you control your character not with the mouse but with the WASD keys. This is so unusual that the developers decided to display the controls under the character for everyone at first.

The longer you hold out against the hordes, the more upgrades you will receive in the game. These improve your character’s abilities, give them new effects, or allow your champion to learn abilities from others.

After 15 minutes in the game, a boss will appear that must be defeated. If you succeed, the game ends and you will earn coins, which you can use in the main menu to permanently upgrade your character. This makes you stronger and stronger.

Which champions can you play? There are a total of nine champions to choose from. Included are: Jinx, Seraphine, Leona, Illaoi, Briar, Yasuo, Riven, Xayah, and the new champion Aurora. However, the champions function differently in the Swarm mode than in regular LoL.

The mode also features its own quests, which you can complete to unlock additional upgrades and enhancements.

You have a total of five different maps available. To unlock a new map, you must complete the previous one. Various difficulty levels are also available to you.

They were responsible for some of the best moments in Destiny 2 – Now they have to close their studio

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

Are you one of those players who celebrate the cinematics from Destiny 2? Then there is some sad news. One of the studios behind these great moments has to close down.

Which studio is meant? Not everyone knows it, but many cinematic moments that Bungie presents in Destiny 2 do not come from Bungie, but from Axis Studios. According to the news site cartoonbrew.com, this company is Scotland’s largest animation studio.

Unfortunately, there is bad news, as the studio now has to close and cease all production. Up to 162 employees will lose their jobs. The reason for the closure is attributed to “severe cash flow problems.” Client projects declined, and rising wage costs led Axis Studios to make this difficult decision.

What moments did the studio realize? Besides projects for Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Palia, and even Clash of Clans, Axis Studios also produced episodes for the Netflix series “Love Death + Robots.” However, what should interest you the most are the cinematics from Destiny 2.

The studio was able to visualize many great moments, including the resurrection of the Witch Queen, the confrontations between the Vanguard and the Witness, as well as the part from Forsaken where Cayde fell to his end in the Prison of Elders.

Fans often experienced problems with Destiny 2, whether it was due to the many content droughts or poor communication with the community. However, players agreed on one thing: the cinematics were often one of the best things to enjoy in the loot shooter. With the closure of the studio, this could negatively impact Destiny 2.

What happens now? The news is still relatively fresh, and according to our research, Bungie has not yet responded. It is possible that the developers will address how the team will handle the upcoming cinematics in their new TWiD post on the evening of July 18.

However, it is clear that Bungie needs to find a new studio if the developers decide not to create the short films themselves. If an outside studio is involved in the upcoming cinematics, this could affect the quality of the recordings. Therefore, there may be differences that players are not yet accustomed to.

Unfortunately, company closures are currently an acute problem in the gaming industry as well. Many companies, including those under the umbrella of Xbox, have been hit hard. More about this can be found here: Xbox closes 4 studios, sends ex-employees strange gifts

gamescom is set to be bigger this year than ever before – CEO says: “We expect new records”

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In mid-August, the largest gaming fair in the world, gamescom, is coming to Cologne again. The head of the event believes that 2024 could set a new record. The fair is gaining more and more international significance.

What is gamescom? The gamescom (the correct spelling is lowercase) is the largest gaming fair in the world and takes place every year from mid to late August in Cologne. This year, gamescom will kick off with the Opening Night Live on August 20, before opening its doors to visitors from August 21 to 25. According to statista.com, over 320,000 people attended the fair last year.

Apart from the chance to test new games, the fair has long become an experience and meeting point for fans of gaming culture. This year, gamescom is expected to break records again.

So, gamescom is set to be even bigger in 2024 and could even break records. To make this happen, there will be new innovations: “Fans, industry professionals, and our partners from all over the world can look forward to an even more diverse gamescom this year, which will include our new Social Stage, the Cards & Boards Area, and the Artists Area.”

This year, well-known exhibitors will also be present. Gameswirtschaft reports that “Ubisoft, Bandai Namco, Astragon, HoyoVerse, THQ Nordic, Square Enix, and Microsoft Xbox (including Bethesda and Blizzard)” will be there.

EA is also said to be represented for the first time in a while and will present its new football simulation installment FC 25 at gamescom 2024.

YouTuber buys gaming PC for 69 euros – Finds unique graphics card with technology rarely seen today

12-year-old GPU with unique technology

What does he find in the computer? When Dawid opens the old gaming PC, he finds, to his great surprise, an Nvidia GTX 690. This is a graphics card that hit the market in April 2012 and is thus more than 12 years old. At the time, the GTX 690 was considered the fastest graphics card on the market and could also outperform AMD’s Radeon HD 6990. You can read about this with colleagues at ComputerBase.

However, what is special is not the age, but the layout of the GPU. Because the graphics card does not rely on just one graphics chip, but on two fully equipped chips on the board. This is notable because two chips are relatively rare and are not used at all today.

Micro stuttering as an annoying companion with dual graphics cards

Why are there no graphics cards with 2 chips today? This is primarily due to the phenomenon of “micro stuttering”: When you connect multiple graphics cards or chips to a computer, the chips have to synchronize the frames with each other. Micro stuttering occurs when every second frame takes significantly longer to compute than the first. This causes the game to run unevenly.

AMD and Nvidia both struggled for years to get micro stuttering under control. With the release of the GTX 690, things improved significantly, but the annoying stutters never completely disappeared. Eventually, individual chips became so fast that such dual systems no longer made sense.

In 2021, Nvidia put an end to the matter: They discontinued support for multiple graphics cards in one computer. Nvidia no longer offered profiles for the SLI mode. At AMD, it was already stated in 2017 that they saw no future in dual GPU technology (Crossfire).

Today, surprisingly, it is AMD technology that gives many old graphics cards a new lease on life. And graphics cards from Nvidia also benefit from this. More about this directly on MeinMMO: It was one of the best-selling graphics cards from Nvidia, and yet it is AMD that has significantly extended its lifespan in gaming

WoW changes the story – and suddenly a whole addon makes no sense anymore

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The story of World of Warcraft is being drastically changed again. A whole addon has now become absurd – and that makes fans angry.

That World of Warcraft changes some details in the lore after 20 years, that is something people have gotten used to by now. Once it was the Eredar who were corrupted by Sargeras, but that story was later reversed. The powers of the cosmos have also changed multiple times, just like the timeline of some events.

With the “Chronicles” book series, Blizzard wanted to finally create a clear line. A “definitive” narration of the story, finally brought into a logical context. But in doing so, it seems some details were forgotten. Because suddenly the story of an entire expansion makes no sense anymore.

Start video
WoW: The War Within Beta Trailer – Shadows and Fury

Which expansion is it about? It is about Battle for Azeroth, one of the more recent expansions. The core plot of the addon was that Sylvanas, as the leader of the Horde, allied with the Zandalari to be able to rely on their fleet. Since this was seen as a threat, the Alliance then forged a plan to ally with Kul Tiras and send Jaina ahead to negotiate this alliance.

The catch is: With the new book “Chronicles IV,” that never actually happened.

Because the timeline in the new book is different. Accordingly, all the major story events on Kul Tiras – including Jaina’s arrival, the attack on Boralus, and her appointment as Lord Admiral – occur before the actual conflict between Horde and Alliance.

Also, the entire war campaign of the Horde, such as the finding of the body of Derek Proudmoore (Jaina’s brother), now takes place before the events in Zandalar. This also means that the Horde at that time did not have any base in the harbor of Zandalar – even though this was supposed to be the base for all operations of the war campaign.

Who does what and why? Blizzard changed that – and it makes little sense.

Even more absurd is that the captivity of Princess Talanji, or rather her rescue, takes place only after the events on Kul Tiras have occurred.

This leads to a big logic problem.

In the playable story of Battle for Azeroth, the Horde has already made contact with the Zandalari and their fleet as a potential military force. Just because this is a threat, Jaina even decides to reach out to Kul Tiras and ask her family for help.

Since all of this now takes place before Talanji is even rescued and the Horde comes into contact with the Zandalari, many quests in the intro experience of Battle for Azeroth and also on Kul Tiras no longer make sense.

von Karsten Scholz

Criticism has been there even before: The criticism of the Chronicles books is not entirely new. After many fans bought the first books, expecting it to be a neutral and complete summary of events, Blizzard later revised that. In Chronicles, the events are told from “the Titans’ perspective” – thus, they are not neutral, and especially after Dragonflight, it is questionable whether the Titans ever told the truth.

That Blizzard is now even changing younger lore so drastically that suddenly, reasons for war and events happen in a completely different order than presented in the game, is likely to upset some fans. In the reddit forum, some players are upset that the story seems to make no sense anymore.

Perhaps this is necessary to bring the story of World of Warcraft into clear, logical paths that ultimately make sense for the “big picture.” But if even important events in the book deviate so drastically from the representation in the game, it raises uncomfortable questions that lead many to doubt the story.

The Acolyte: The new series about Star Wars shows one of the most legendary lightsaber techniques of the Sith for the first time on screen

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

The season finale of The Acolyte was just released on Disney+. In the episode, there is a detail that likely excites fans of Star Wars particularly. For the first time, we see how the Sith create their red lightsabers.

Attention: Spoilers for Episode 8 of Star Wars: The Acolyte follow.

How are the red lightsabers created? Normally, the Sith cannot form a mutual bond with the kyber crystals used to create the lightsabers. Instead, they must perform a ritual called “bleeding” to turn the lightsaber red.

To do this, they channel their negative emotions such as hatred, sorrow, fear, and pain into the kyber crystal. This process causes the lightsaber to turn red. And we see this process in episode 8 of The Acolyte series, which, unfortunately, is not well received by fans.

The Acolyte
Osha’s emotional pain changes the color of the lightsaber.

In the episode, we see Osha transform the lightsaber of the fallen Jedi Master Sol into a Sith sword with the characteristic red color.

She learns the truth behind her mother’s death and becomes so angry that the lightsaber turns from blue to red before her eyes. In this moment, she unleashes her connection to the dark side of the Force. This marks the first time we see how the bleeding process occurs in a series or a film. However, there have been earlier descriptions of how this process works.

The Acolyte is finished with its eight episodes. Watch the trailer for the series here:

Start video
The Acolyte takes place decades before the Star Wars films

This is how lightsabers are made in Star Wars

Where has the bleeding been described before? The process was first mentioned in a novel by E. K. Johnston with Ahsoka in 2016. The first visual representation of the bleeding, however, appeared in a Darth Vader comic by Marvel in 2017.

Darth Vader is fresh to the dark side of the Force in these comics. He is forced to obtain his own lightsaber. To do this, he defeated the Jedi Master Kirak Infil’a, took his green lightsaber, broke the crystal, and turned it red.

There are no naturally red kyber crystals, which is why the Sith have to create their red lightsabers through bleeding. Among the Sith, there was a rumor that a Jedi’s lightsaber had to be stolen for this purpose. But as it turned out, any kind of kyber crystal is suitable for bleeding.

What are kyber crystals? Kyber crystals are connected to the Force. They grow in caves on various planets in the galaxy. Due to their ability to conduct or amplify energy like laser or plasma, they are used in lightsabers.

The color of the lightsaber is determined by the character traits of the sword’s wielder. This is how several lightsaber colors like blue, green, or purple originated.

The Disney versions of Star Wars do not always adhere to the film series by George Lucas. There is a situation with lightsabers where The Acolyte deviates from the original: The new Star Wars series breaks a nearly 50-year-old rule by George Lucas

Whoever has been inactive in New World for too long will soon lose their character name – Community is up in arms

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of New World are preparing for the upcoming launch on consoles on October 15, 2024. A freshly announced measure from Amazon Games is now causing bad moods.

What have the developers announced? Via X, Amazon Games has announced that they want to implement a new measure for the upcoming console launch to provide players who are just starting with New World Aeternum more options for name selection:

  • Starting from October 15, 2024, the following change will take effect: After six months, the names of characters that have been inactive for at least six months will be made available for new characters. This also applies to all characters that have not been online for six months before October 15, 2024.
  • If a player creates a new character from October 15, 2024, they can choose an expired name.
  • In this case, the owner of the inactive character must choose a new name upon their next login. The “Play” button will accordingly be replaced by “Rename.”
  • Anyone who wants to secure their character names must log in with the corresponding character before October 15, 2024.

“This is so frustrating”

How does the community react to the announcement? Under the developers’ post, there are already numerous comments from disappointed, angry, or frustrated X users.

  • Flannel (Muscle) Mommy writes (via X): “I think six months is a very short time, considering the DLC came out over nine months ago. I believe this should be changed to a year. I feel that players who haven’t played for six months will come back, while players who haven’t played for a year probably won’t return.”
  • Aaron Miller criticizes Amazon Games (via X): “This is so frustrating. Your game has so much potential to be one of the best MMOs. And yet, we are stuck with such a terrible studio that doesn’t listen to its player base. I love your game, but everything you do pushes us away. I would actually prefer New World over FFXIV, but you are so incompetent.”
  • Tarellion compares the situation to WoW (via X): “This is NOT the right way or something you should focus on. I have WoW characters that haven’t been touched for years and still have their names, as it should be. Your game will never thrive if you focus on these things.”

What does our MMORPG expert Karsten Scholz say about the announcement? I can understand the community’s anger. Character names are sacred, and the time frame is indeed unusually short. I almost get the feeling that Amazon Games wants to force PC players to download and log into the game this way—perhaps a few percent will stick around.

However, due to the announcement and articles like this one, you now know what the deal is and can act accordingly. Log into New World in the coming weeks, secure the names you want to keep, and that’s it. No stress.

The new version of the MMORPG not only brings console ports for Xbox Series and PlayStation 5, but many new contents and adjustments will also land on the servers – including a 10-player raid, solo trials, archetypes, and an extensive PvP zone.

Anyone who owns the base game and the expansion “Rise of the Angry Earth” will receive the upgrade to Aeternum for free. All other interested parties should budget 60 to 80 euros for the purchase. New World Aeternum: All info about the DLC launch on PS5 and Xbox – Release, map, and content

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn starts today – Everything about the release, playtime, and gameplay

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is a new souls-like game that will be released today on PS5, Xbox, Steam, and Epic Games. Here’s what you need to know about the release, playtime, and gameplay.

When is Flintlock being released? Flintlock will be released on all platforms on July 18. However, the start time varies depending on which platform you are using. Here’s what you should keep in mind:

  • PS5
    • Start: July 18 at 00:00 CEST
  • Xbox, Steam, or Epic Games
    • Start: July 18 at 09:00 CEST

Here’s a summary of all release times at a glance:

All release times summarized by the developers (Source: x.com)

Next, we’ll discuss the playtime and gameplay of Flintlock and explain spoiler-free what you can expect in the new souls-like.

Flintlock: This is how much playtime the souls-like offers

What is the playtime of Flintlock? There is no exact answer from testers yet, but the news site segmentnext.com had the opportunity to ask the CEO and Creative Director, Derek Bradley, about it in an interview.

When asked: “How many hours do you estimate the world of Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn offers if players want to explore every corner?”, the answer was as follows:

That’s a good question, which we don’t have a definitive answer to yet. Flintlock has a vast amount of content, with a 40-hour main path. If you were to do absolutely everything, it would take much longer!

So you can expect that the main story may take over 40 hours depending on the player. If you have difficulties with bosses or sections, or take your time exploring, that time could stretch even further.

Flintlock: This is how the gameplay works

What do I need to know about the gameplay? In Flintlock, you take on the role of Nor Vanek, an elite member of the Coalition Army. Together with Enki, a fox-like creature, you wander through the world of Kian and try to stop the gods who want to exterminate humanity.

Flintlock-Fuchs-Protagonist
Nor Vanek and her fox “Enki”

Flintlock is a souls-like game. It features various elements from well-known souls games like Dark Souls, but in a toned-down manner. For example, you don’t need to pay attention to a stamina resource, as it doesn’t exist. Nevertheless, the game relies on classic melee and ranged combat that is typical for the genre.

Interestingly, Flintlock focuses on aggressive gameplay like Bloodborne. You don’t fight passively with a shield and block; instead, you must time your dodges correctly to avoid getting hit. With your axe or flintlock pistol, you can then counterattack.

Your goal is to defeat the evil gods that haunt Kian. To accomplish this, you harness magical powers granted by your fox companion. Together with new items you find on your travels, you can upgrade your equipment and weapons, and even don new armor to stand a chance against the threat.

In addition to the undead that want to take you down, there are also other mysterious beings that can assist you on your journeys. They may look grotesque but will help you wherever they can.

WoW wants to crack down on tanks – Everyone will be significantly weaker

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The tanks of World of Warcraft are becoming weaker. They are too strong – and that should no longer be the case in The War Within.

Tanks are a bit like the all-in-one solution in many groups in World of Warcraft. They hold the threat of enemies (which is their primary role), often deal solid damage, and can heal themselves or others quite significantly.

Sometimes tanks are so powerful that they are no longer dependent on healers and can often handle bosses on their own when the rest of the group has already bitten the dust.

This strength is a thorn in Blizzard’s side, as it brings some problems for dungeon design. Therefore, tanks are now being targeted – they will be weakened in The War Within.

Start video
WoW: Trailer for the release date of The War Within

What is the problem with tanks? Tanks have become stronger over the past months and patches. They often take little to no damage, and even when they do, almost all tanks are capable of healing this damage on their own. As a result, tanks are no longer dependent on healers in many cases, leading to some groups not taking them along – it is simply more efficient to venture out with four DPS characters and one tank.

Therefore, Blizzard wants to slightly reduce the self-healing of tanks.

The goal is not that tanks should fall more often, but that they continuously take damage and, upon losing health points, also have to rely on the healer. Group play and the interaction of the different roles should be encouraged.

von Karsten Scholz

von Karsten Scholz

What is changing? Blizzard describes the changes in detail in the patch notes for the current beta build of The War Within in the official WoW forum.

However, the changes can be summarized as follows:

  • Tanks should have less self-healing.
  • Healers should need to pay more attention to tanks, but this shouldn’t consume all their attention.
  • Tank gameplay shouldn’t change significantly (e.g., requiring kiting).
  • The self-healing and damage reduction of most tanks is decreased.
  • Talents that increase health points or armor will be somewhat weaker.
  • Talents that make survivability abilities stronger or more frequently available will be weakened.
  • Talents and abilities that grant shields will be weakened.

What do you think about these changes to tanks? Is it good that Blizzard is making adjustments here and ensuring that healers also have to pay attention to the tank again? Or is it rather annoying and will lead to even fewer people playing tanks? At least in raids this shouldn’t be too bad – because it nerfs itself automatically.

Dragon Ball: The 6 Coolest Teachers of Son-Goku in the Power Ranking

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 4 minutes

From the Genkidama to the Ultra Instinct – there are many techniques that Son-Goku can only use through his masters. We rank the six strongest masters from Dragon Ball in a power ranking.

Son-Goku has mastered many techniques over the years. To become stronger, he not only created his own training plan but also sought the teachings of experienced fighters.

They have made an important contribution to teaching Son-Goku powerful techniques. However, some of the masters are no longer skilled fighters themselves but rather pass on the knowledge they have acquired. MeinMMO has created a ranking of the coolest masters from Dragon Ball who trained Son-Goku. We organized the teachers by their strength.

Rank 5: Mr. Popo and God

Dragon Ball God Mr Popo
Mr. Popo is always concerned about God’s well-being.
  • First appearance: Dragon Ball, Episode 124 + 125
  • Techniques they taught: Detecting Ki and handling it

God lives in his palace together with his helper Mr. Popo. After God split off his evil side in the form of King Piccolo, he lost interest in martial arts. He ensured that Son-Goku would permanently lose his tail so that he would no longer transform into an Oozaru.

Mr. Popo, in contrast to God, is an excellent martial arts master. He even managed to absorb Son-Goku’s Kamehameha. Together with God, he oversees the Room of Spirit and Time, where fighters can train for years while only a little time passes in reality.

Rank 4: Master Kaio

Master Kaio is especially proud of his student.

  • Techniques he taught: Genkidama, Kaio-ken

Master Kaio lives in the afterlife and taught Son-Goku after he died in battle. Although the Kaio is not exactly the best fighter, his techniques helped the Saiyan overcome his opponents.

The strengths of Master Kaio lie in his knowledge. He is a walking encyclopedia of techniques that have been developed over centuries. He thinks very strategically, as he proved during the events on Namek by organizing the transportation of the fighters back.

10 tips you must know about The First Descendant in 3 minutes

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 4 minutes

The First Descendant is quite complicated in some areas. That’s why we have created a list of tips for you that you definitely need to know.

[toc]

The First Descendant is the big new hit on Steam in summer 2024, the loot shooter captivates thousands of players. However, the game from Nexon is not only associated with a lot of grinding; it can also be quite complicated.

If you enjoy The First Descendant but haven’t been able to sink hundreds of hours into the shooter to become an expert, we have a few short tips for you here.

Tip 1: Precisely monitor HP and shield status

  • You can display your shield values and hit points in detail during a fight. This way you can better estimate how close you are to death than if you only use the bars.
    • Go to Options -> Gameplay -> Show HP / Shield values -> On
The First Descendant Damage Display Options

Tip 2: Familiarize Yourself with the Workbench

  • In Albion, you will find a workbench. At this station, you can upgrade your weapons. For example, you can increase the level of your favorite weapon by merging it with a higher-level weapon. Additionally, you can re-roll your weapons and exchange individual perks that you don’t like.

Tip 3: Review Farming Information

  • You can display important farming information in the menu, such as which materials you need for a descendant and where to find them
    • World Map -> Information (Q/ L1/ LB) -> Descendants / Weapons / Upgrade Materials / Modules / External Components / Core Materials / Basic Materials / Amorphous Material
The First Descendant Information

Tip 4: Start Research Early

  • Start research with Anais in Albion early on – ideally as soon as you can craft a needed component. Each research has a duration that runs in real time. You don’t want to wait three hours later while an important material is being crafted that you could have researched days ago.

Tip 5: Dismantle Loot Instead of Selling

  • There is an NPC in Albion where you can sell your loot for gold. You should ignore this NPC most of the time. You will receive plenty of gold throughout the game and will need the materials you get from dismantling for crafting.
Start video
The First Descendant – The first 17 Minutes

Tip 6: Increase Maximum Ammo

  • You can increase your maximum ammo capacity with certain modules. This is especially helpful in boss fights when you frequently run out of ammo. However, you can also use these modules without occupying important module slots on your primary weapon.
    • Equip a second weapon with the same ammo type as your primary weapon and install the modules in this second weapon. When you then collect ammo in fights while holding the second weapon, it will also be available for your primary weapon.

Tip 7: Test DPS in the Lab

  • Test your damage per second in the lab. You can enter the lab when you speak to Siena in Albion – but only after reaching mastery rank 8.
The First Descendant Siena Laboratory
You can find Siena in Albion. She lets you into the lab

Tip 8: Pay Attention to Boss Resistances

  • The various bosses resist each damage type differently. Look closely before the boss fight to see which damage types are strong against the specific boss and which deal less damage.
The First Descendant Boss Resistances and Damage Attributes, Example Stunning Beauty
You can see which attribute resistances and attack attributes a boss has, here in the example “Stunning Beauty”

Tip 9: Pay Attention to Your Own Resistances in Boss Fights

  • Each boss has a specific damage type (attack attribute) that it inflicts during the fight. Check your character information to see how well you resist the boss’s damage type and adjust your modules accordingly. There is a corresponding enhancing module for each damage type.
The First Descendant Antibody Modules
These modules enhance your resistances against a damage type. You will also see the symbols of the different sockets centrally above the modules

Tip 10: Module Sockets and Capacity

  • When equipping modules, make sure to place a module in a suitable socket, which reduces the capacity costs of the module. You can also change the socket slots of a module. However, this is not cheap and is only worthwhile when you know what your build should look like and you have modules you want to keep.

Once Human: Why you should definitely get a useful creature that resembles Minecraft

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 2 minutes

In Once Human, there are various creatures (“mutations”) that support you in your base. One of them is very useful – and you should definitely use it.

Which creature resembles Minecraft? With its cube-shaped head, the mutation “Digby Boy” (in German: “Elementare Jugend”) resembles Minecraft monsters – somewhat similar to the Creepers. However, this little silver guy doesn’t blow up your base; on the contrary, he helps you gather important resources.

How does the mutation help me? As soon as you deploy the Digby Boy in your base, he will soon start mining ores for you – such as copper ore and tin ore. You need ores in Once Human in the form of bars for crafting, calibrating, and repairing weapons, but also for expanding your base.

In the survival game Once Human, there are many different mutations that support you in your base and in combat:

Start video
In Once Human, you should not feel alone

“Digby Boy” mines ore and loves music

How do I deploy the mutation? To deploy mutations in the base, you need “Isolated Security Cells.” At the beginning, you can build five of them until you unlock more through the memetics. Interact with the “Security Cell” and right-click to place the Digby Boy inside so he can mine ores for you. You can also collect the gathered ores through the “Security Cell.”

Each mutation has specific preferences. If you meet these preferences, they recover their mutation power and mood faster. The Digby Boy has the following preferences:

  • Red light
  • Radio
  • Electricity (consume 5 W power)
“Digby Boy” drops, among other things, when mining silver ore.
At the security cell, you collect the ores. You can also use multiple mutations of the same type.

Where can I find the mutation? You get the Digby Boy by mining ores. According to the Once Human Wiki, silver ore has the highest drop chance for the little guy. You can find silver ore in various regions – including near the teleport tower northwest of the village “Highland” in the Iron River area (coordinates: 4671, -4339).

If you’re not lucky and can’t find silver ore, just switch to another world at the teleport tower. One more tip: To save unnecessary running around the tower, we recommend equipping a precision rifle and scanning the area with the scope.

In Once Human, you can not only team up with your friends but also with numerous mutations. The mutations support you in your base, gather resources, and even produce resources themselves. Others have useful skills that help you in combat. Here you can find out about the mutations available, what they can do, and how to obtain them: Once Human: All Deviations at a Glance – How to Find the Mutations

„I just wasn’t made for this“ – Twitch streamer LetsHugo breaks down in tears due to negative comments

jacquelinek jacquelinek Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer LetsHugo recently reacted emotionally during one of his streams and broke down in tears. The reason for this was negative comments he received despite his efforts to entertain his viewers.

Why did LetsHugo break down in tears? The Twitch streamer LetsHugo, who is among the biggest streamers in the German-speaking world and earns more than a whole family, recently broke down in tears during one of his streams. The reason for this was negative comments he received during his live stream.

As a clip on TikTok shows, the streamer talks about how he feels he is not made for streaming because he cannot ignore negative comments. Although he knows that these comments make up only a small part of his chat, they still occupy his mind, according to LetsHugo.

How did the situation arise? In his stream, LetsHugo started a Minecraft project in which people from his community could participate. He also promised to buy what five people had built. Minecraft is generally a staple of his streams, which is why this is also a very specific requirement for his future partner.

During his stream, he even increased this number and gifted a total of about 15 viewers. However, this did not seem enough for some, as some viewers in the chat wrote that it was still too little. This eventually led him to break down in tears.

He later reports that this was not the first time he received such comments, even though he wanted to bring some joy to at least part of his audience. He recounts that he organized a Minecraft parkour event where participants could win a laptop worth 2,000 euros. Instead of joy, there were, according to the streamer, many comments saying that the parkour was too difficult.

Tarisland bans 65 cheaters from the MMORPG and exposes them

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Tarisland have removed the first cheaters from their MMORPG. Those who are no longer allowed to play can now find their names listed on the Discord server. Additionally, there is a new patch.

What is the situation in Tarisland? The MMORPG Tarisland is almost a month old and has so far largely been spared from bots and cheaters. The fact that there have been no problems with bots in the MMORPG so far is probably due to the market system that does not allow player-to-player transactions.

This way, bots can only enrich their own accounts. Moreover, in terms of crafting and farming, players are restricted by the energy “Elan.” This makes it difficult for bots to accumulate wealth. However, the situation is different with cheaters, as a new post from the developers confirms.

Here you can watch the trailer for Tarisland:

Who has been caught? As the developers of Tarisland announce, they have now banned the first 65 cheaters. They have listed all the names of those banned in a list on the Discord server.

Some candidates were reportedly reported multiple times and appear twice on the list. In total, 65 users with different names, without duplicate entries, were banned from the game.

Only one cheater comes from North America, 25 from Latin America, one from Eastern Europe, and five from Asia. Most players banned were from Europe, totaling 33 players.

What led to the bans? The bans were all likely the result of users reporting the corresponding players to support. To keep the MMORPG free of cheaters in the future, the developers appeal to players: “We hope that you will actively report any misconduct, and we will regularly inform you about the results of the sanctions.”

New patch brings many bug fixes

What’s in the new patch? Tarisland has a new patch that went live on the night from Wednesday to Thursday. The update brought many bug fixes for abilities that were not functioning correctly or for bosses and quests that occasionally disappeared.

But the combat assistance mode has also been improved. It is now a bit faster and deals more damage. It is intended to allow beginners and players with limitations to participate in the game. At the same time, it should never be better than if a player plays the MMORPG without assistance.

Players can now also complete their daily quests in groups of ten. Previously, this was only partially possible in groups of five. Additionally, everyone now receives more loot from the raid “Root of Corrosion.” The number of clears that can be completed in the reward mode has been increased to 15.

The system related to the labeled stone has also been changed. Players should now be able to catch up faster.
