Stranger Things has just concluded, but the next project from the showrunners of the long-running Netflix-series is already in the pipeline. It will be even darker than the nostalgic 80s homage.
In December 2025, the finale of Stranger Things flickered across home screens, marking the end of a series that started in 2016 and ended after nearly 10 years following five seasons. The two showrunners, Matt and Ross Duffer, finally have time for other projects, and it seems they are already utilizing it.
As Netflix has now announced, a new horror series is set to premiere in March, with the two brothers serving as executive producers. This means they are stepping away from the showrunner role, and Haley Z. Boston will take over, who is also responsible for the story.
The connection to Stranger Things is still palpable, as the genres seem to be somewhat similar – even if the story revolves around a very adult theme rather than children.
Unfortunately, there is still no trailer for the new series; instead, you can watch the one from the finale of Stranger Things:

Atmospheric Horror for the Wedding
What kind of series is this? The title already promises something sinister: Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen. It tells the story of the couple Rachel and Nicky, who are followed over several days during their wedding preparations – up until their wedding ceremony. Each episode is supposed to cover one day, with things getting progressively worse.
Netflix has not revealed exactly what will happen, but the streaming service is already drawing comparisons on the official website to horror classics such as Carrie and Rosemary’s Baby. According to showrunner Haley Z. Boston, it will focus on the fear of marrying the wrong person. The series intends to explore the idea of soulmates – in a rather dark manner.
Netflix clearly states that it’s a horror genre. However, those expecting shock effects might be disappointed. Instead, the production aims to impress with a disturbing atmosphere that “gets under your skin.” Viewers can expect more of an atmospheric horror that is very character-driven.
I love exploring characters. I think that sometimes that is missing in the horror genre. My natural approach is to start from the characters, dialogues, and the humor, and then mix that with disturbing horror… I think to myself: “I want to be disturbed. I want to be scared.”
Who is in the cast? In the two lead roles, Camila Morrone (The Night Manager) stars as Rachel and Adam DiMarco (The White Lotus) as Nicky.
Alongside them, Jennifer Jason Leigh (Hateful Eight), Ted Levine (Moon), Jeff Wilbusch (Unorthodox), and several others are part of the cast.
When does the series premiere? Horror fans can rejoice as Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen will premiere on March 26, 2026. All eight episodes will be released simultaneously. How much of an influence the Duffer brothers and their series Stranger Things will be noticeable is something we can determine by the release date at the latest. There will also be a spin-off in 2026: With the spin-off of Stranger Things, Netflix is taking a risk, as one character could potentially disrupt the story

What else do I need to consider? If you haven’t picked up the games from last month for PS Plus, you should hurry. Once the new games are available, the old ones will be turned off again. If you want to get the games, you absolutely need the paid PS Plus subscription for your PS4 or PS5.
Neural Sensors are needed in Warframe for all sorts of things. But how do you farm them best? MeinMMO will show you.
What are Neural Sensors and what do you need them for? Neural Sensors are a resource in Warframe that you need in mid and endgame for various purposes, such as crafting some Warframes, weapons, or Archwing parts.
We will show you how and where to farm Neural Sensors most effectively throughout the article.
[toc]
All ways to obtain Neural Sensors in Warframe
How do you get Neural Sensors? There are basically 4 ways to acquire Neural Sensors:
You can actively farm them.
You can buy them in the shop.
You can craft them via the blueprint.
You can passively farm them.
Before we get to the actual farming methods, we will give you a few useful tips for farming.
Start video
Warframe zeigt neuen Trailer mit Werner Herzog in der Hauptrolle
Farming Neural Sensors – The best way to the rare resource
This is how you farm Neural Sensors best: There are various missions that you can replay to effectively farm Neural Sensors. In this guide, we focus on 2 missions on the planet Jupiter.
Bonus tips for better farming
Activate a Resource Booster for the best possible output so that you get double the amount of a resource you pick up, and also a Resource Drop Chance Booster that doubles the drop chance.
Equip the mod “Resourceful Retriever” on one of your pets (only beasts). This mod gives you an 18% chance to pick up double the amount of resources.
If you want to focus not on speed but on the maximum number of Neural Sensors per run, you can use Warframes like Nekros and Khora. Here you have a chance to receive additional drops per enemy. Khora is especially worthwhile in survival missions.
If you are far enough in the game to activate “The Steel Path”, you can increase the difficulty of the nodes on the star map and thus get higher chances for resources and mods. The Steel Path is essentially the “New Game+” of Warframe.
Important to note: It is not guaranteed that you will get the best possible number of drops in the individual missions – there are only drop chances and no guaranteed drops. If you are unlucky, you may only get 1-2 Neural Sensors per run.
Mission 1: Thermisto (Jupiter)
One of the best methods to farm Neural Sensors is the assassination mission “Thermisto” on the planet Jupiter. Here you can get up to 5-8 Neural Sensors per run, with the mini-boss “Alad V” at the end of the mission having an increased drop chance.
The mission is particularly worthwhile for fast farming runs, as a run with Warframes like Titania, Gauss, Volt, or Xaku only takes a few minutes.
However, there are two ways to play the mission:
You can rush to the boss fight without detours or fights and defeat Alad V as quickly as possible. In doing so, you hope for the mini-boss’s increased drop chance. Ideally, a run takes less than 2 minutes, but you usually only get one Neural Sensor.
If you have followed our farming tips above, with a bit of luck you can get up to 4 (!) Neural Sensors per run.
You take a bit more time, open containers on the way to the boss, and take down a few mobs to ideally get 5-8 Neural Sensors.
Mission 2: Cameria (Jupiter)
An alternative is the survival mission “Cameria,” which you also play on the planet Jupiter. In survival missions, you need to defend against endless waves of enemies and try to survive as long as possible – and in the meantime farm a lot of Neural Sensors.
Here, of course, it also depends on your drop luck, but you can collect 15-20 Neural Sensors in 10 minutes if you follow our farming tips. Pay particular attention to tip 3 and ideally play as Khora, as you can get the most loot with a good build here.
Passively Farming Neural Sensors – Here’s how
This is how you farm the resource passively: You can passively farm resources such as Neural Sensors. For this, you need resource drones known as Extractors. These are drones that you build and can assign to a planet on the star map once you have completed all missions on that planet.
If you want to farm Neural Sensors, it’s best to deploy an Extractor on Jupiter. This will collect the rare resource for you without any intervention.
How many Extractors you can deploy at the same time depends on your mastery rank. However, only one drone per planet is allowed.
You can buy Neural Sensors at the market. It’s best to search for them using the search function by entering the name. Alternatively, you can find them under “Equipment” and then under “Components.” There, you can buy either a Neural Sensor or a blueprint for crafting the resource.
1 Neural Sensor costs 10x Platinum
1x Blueprint for Neural Sensor costs 100x Platinum
The smallest Platinum package in the shop costs €4.49 and gives you 75 Platinum.
Once you have purchased the blueprint, you need four components to produce Neural Sensors: 15,000 Credits, 15,000 Alloy Plates, 50,000 Nano Spores, and 25,000 Salvage.
In the quest “With a View” in ARC Raiders, you need to find a rotaryencoder. But it is not so easy to find. How you complete the task, you can find out here.
Update, March 23, 2026: The article has been reviewed and is up to date.
What do you have to do for the quest? When you start the quest “With a View”, you first need to obtain a rotaryencoder, deploy it at a specific location, and then secure an ionizer.
But that’s not so easy, as both items belong to the rarer loot that is part of the notorious Exodus loot. How to complete the quest as quickly and safely as possible, we will explain in our guide.
Tip: Don’t play with a free loadout when approaching this quest. This way you can stash the items in your safety pocket once you finally get them. You don’t have to complete the quest in a single match and can ensure that you keep the item even if you fail in the match.
Pro tip for good friends: You can also give the rotaryencoder to friends or receive it from a friend to simplify the quest. You only need it for one step of the quest and can give it away or recycle it afterward. So it’s best to work together if multiple of you need to complete the quest; it’s safer and faster that way.

Finding the rotaryencoder – the best locations
Head to Stella Montis, where the rotaryencoder can potentially appear anywhere as blue loot. However, there are places where your chances are higher.
Travel to the north of the map, to the assembly workshops, the medical area, or the security office. If you want to be as safe as possible, the assembly workshops are a good choice. Depending on how long it takes you to get there, it might happen that the good loot has already been claimed by other raiders.
Unfortunately, it may take several attempts.
As a reminder: Once you have found the rotaryencoder, pack it into your safety pocket as quickly as possible so it doesn’t get lost if you should meet your demise. The areas where Exodus loot can be found are highly sought after, and there is a good chance you will encounter other raiders here.
In green, you can see the best places to search. (Source: mapgenie.io)
Using the rotaryencoder – here’s how
Another reason why we recommend the assembly workshops as a location is that once you finally find the rotaryencoder, you can deploy it there right away. For this, look for a room with windows and terminals facing outside.
Still, it’s better to pack the rotaryencoder into your safety pocket. If you die on the way there, the item is unfortunately lost. Then look in these rooms for yellow-marked levers. Go there and activate the lever with the rotaryencoder.
Then look for a computer nearby and interact with it. You won’t need the rotaryencoder anymore after this, but it’s advisable to pack it back into your safety pocket just in case.
After that, you need to obtain another item: an ionizer.
Finding the ionizer and completing the quest
Fortunately, the map we showed you for the possible locations of the rotaryencoder also applies to the ionizer. So you can visit the same places again. But here, too, once you have the item, pack it in your safety pocket; otherwise, you will regret it.
Once you have secured the ionizer, finish the match and bring the item to Shani. This completes the quest.

The German streamer event “Sauercrowd” lets content creators experience the hardcore world of World of Warcraft Classic on Twitch. There is something new happening every day, and here you can find out what you might have missed.
Update, February 25, 2026: The article has been updated and supplemented with new events.
What kind of overview is this? Consider this overview as a type of “journal.” We report almost daily on the most important events of Sauercrowd. Many of these articles can, of course, be found in our HUB, but if you just want to see the news at a glance, scrolling through might be tedious.
Therefore, we collect and link all articles in this new overview, explain them with a small text excerpt, and sort them chronologically, so you know when each event took place.
With our directory, you can also quickly jump to the date that interests you:
The Twitch streamer Mahluna was finally able to reach level 60 despite several setbacks. Had she not succeeded, she would have had to shave her head halfway.
Broeki, known to many as a LoL professional, has also reached level 60. To celebrate, he shaved his head, but a week later nothing was left of his character.
xHankyy, one of the streamers from Sauercrowd farmed through Tanaris, but only realized too late that the enemies wanted to take his life menacingly. A desperate rescue attempt ended in his final fate.
Metashi apologizes for his behavior and the feeling that he gave to his companions and viewers. He will not give up easily and will push through the Sauercrowd project, no matter what happens in World of Warcraft.
HandOfBlood talks about how he has sought the word with various guild leaders who, according to the community, wanted to prematurely end the “Sauercrowd” project. He reports that a lot was stirred up by negative feelings.
The German Twitch event Sauercrowd is even being followed with excitement by international streamers, reacting to countless clips of absurd situations and interesting moments.
Hänno didn’t want to fall behind despite his illness and continued the grind, but the rules of Sauercrowd prohibit leveling outside the stream. A solution had to be found.
Papaplatte and his colleagues dived into the dungeon Scholomance to defeat the boss Bloodreaver. The battle seemed to be going well until suddenly the healer of the streamer was sent to the afterlife with one blow.
The guild leadership convenes an emergency meeting to clarify why so many players are biting the dust. Papaplatte cites one reason, which has to do with the recklessness of various heroes.
Are you also participating and following the event daily on Twitch? Besides the events, the deaths of various streamers in World of Warcraft are also an important topic in the community. We have listed them for you and show you daily which of the heroes has been affected this time: Sauercrowd: All deaths from the last days and their levels in overview

The MMORPG Blade & Soul 2 will never come to the West, as the developers have now announced not only the service but also the entire end of the MMORPG.
What kind of game is this? Blade & Soul 2 is, as the name promises, the successor of NCSoft’s MMORPG Blade & Soul, which gained fame in Germany in 2025 with Blade & Soul NEO. The original Blade & Soul has always been popular for its brilliant combat system in martial arts style, which is also among the best in the genre.
The second part of Blade & Soul started in Korea in 2021 and was also exported to other Asian countries in the following years. The MMORPG relies on a dynamic combat system without classes, where the character’s weapons determine the abilities.
The action combat system with martial arts as skills was, like in its predecessor, one of the most important features of the title. Compared to its predecessor, Blade & Soul 2 is essentially a theme park, but it feels significantly more open and thus also tries to attract sandbox players.
Thus, the MMORPG offered quest lines, leveling, dungeons, and dailies simultaneously but also many opportunities to express oneself freely in the open world.
Here you can see an old trailer:

End before the release in the West
When will the MMORPG be shut down? The developers at NCSoft already announced in December 2025 that they would not release any further content for the MMORPG. The self-operated version is also set to be discontinued on June 30, 2026.
At the same time, the developers announced that they would talk to the local publishers to clarify how the versions in other countries can continue to exist. However, as the gaming magazine 17173 now explains, the other versions of Blade & Soul 2 will also be shut down.
Thus, the Chinese version of the game will be shut down on April 22, and the other versions are also expected to follow.
Why was the MMORPG not successful? Although Blade & Soul as a brand is not unknown here in the West, part 2 could not establish itself among players in Asia. Despite strong pre-registration numbers, NCSoft’s stock prices fell by 20% because the game did not meet players’ expectations (source: frontofficesports.com).
There were complaints about excessive Pay2Win even though players were previously promised not to focus so heavily on Pay2Win. The game also had gacha elements that did not sit well with gamers (source: mmofallout.com).
Another criticism was the game’s identity. There were apparently too many elements from Lineage that actually had no place in Blade & Soul, as seen in the graphics and also in the autoplay feature.
Currently, an event is taking place in Pokémon GO where you can catch a monster for the first time. You should take advantage of this opportunity.
What kind of event is this? Currently, in Pokémon GO the “Descending into the Depths” event is happening. There, you can obtain Lumispross for the first time, along with some strong attackers.
While collectors are already on the hunt for the new monster, you should also chase it if you are more interested in the combat aspect of the game. This could mean a useful investment in your future team.

Catch now, benefit later
Why is this monster worth it? The evolution of Lumispross, Lumiflora, shares the types Rock and Poison, just like its pre-evolution. In addition, Lumiflora has the possibility of undergoing a Mega Evolution.
Currently, there is no Mega Evolution available in the game. However, it will surely make its way to Pokémon GO in due time. That’s why it pays off to catch good Lumispross during the current event and keep them until the day Lumiflora’s Mega Evolution is unlocked.
According to current calculations, this Mega Evolution is expected to sneak its way to the top of the Rock attackers and will even take a place ahead of Mega Diancie, Crypto Rameidon, and other strong attackers of the type.
How strong the attacker could be is shown by a trainer on Reddit:

What should I look for when catching? The most important thing is that your Lumispross has as high IV values as possible if you want to use it later as a Mega attacker for raids. Ideally, it should have all 3 values at 15. Otherwise, hold on to the specimen with the highest IV values.
How to obtain Lumispross? You can find the monster until Sunday, February 1, 2026, at 8:00 PM on routes, in field research, as well as in both the free and paid limited research for the event.
Valve has created the most popular gaming platform with Steam. However, many players say that Valve could also provide the perfect alternative to Windows with SteamOS. For this, SteamOS would just need to be freely installable.With the Steam Deck, other handhelds, and the Steam Machine, many devices are already using Valve’s operating system.
What is the criticism of Microsoft/Windows? Many players rely on the Windows operating system on PC when they want to play various titles. However, dissatisfaction among players is growing:
There are regular complaints about faulty updates that ruin performance and impair functionalities.
Players complain about numerous new AI features that Windows is currently flooded with. Microsoft is not called “Microslop” in the community for no reason.
The aggressive tracking of user data and ads in the operating system has also long been criticized. Many people just want to play and not be bothered.
Therefore, there has been a long discussion in the community about how to deal with the situation. The rejection of Windows is high, but according to players, there are often no real alternatives. This is exemplified by a Reddit discussion: Many reject Windows, but they still do not want to switch. In this context, the best alternative for gamers comes directly from Valve.

Why is RAM so expensive? The current situation explained in 2 minutes
According to players, Valve already offers the perfect alternative to Windows with SteamOS
What alternative is it about? In a Reddit post, some players demand that Valve finally release its operating system SteamOS. For players, SteamOS is considered the ultimate alternative for gaming. The system from Valve is optimized for gaming and very accessible, free from annoying bloat and AI features that are increasingly found in more devices today. For instance, a user writes on Reddit:
SteamOS is much better than the alternatives for handheld gaming and has already been adopted by other companies. Valve is working with AMD to make SteamOS more compatible with desktop and other hardware. Windows 11 is full of bloatware and makes games unplayable through updates, making a switch attractive.
What is the problem? So far, Valve has only released SteamOS for the Steam Deck and some other handhelds. There is currently no official installation source for regular computers, and it remains unclear whether Valve will ever make its SteamOS freely available.
Do all games even work? SteamOS currently, like all Linux operating systems, still has a problem with games that rely on aggressive anti-cheat systems: anti-cheat software at the kernel level often does not work under Linux, and features like “Secure Boot” are also not supported.
Those who install SteamOS must therefore be prepared to forego popular games like Call of Duty, Battlefield 6, or Fortnite, as they simply do not work on SteamOS or generally on Linux. The limitations usually affect large multiplayer games, while those who only enjoy single-player and perhaps some couch co-op should have little trouble with SteamOS.
Valve has introduced a completely new device with the Steam Machine. But what exactly can we expect from it? A console, a gaming PC, or something completely different? And can I actually play all my games? MeinMMO has compiled the most important questions for you and tried to answer them: Steam Machine: The most important questions and answers

The endeavors in World of Warcraft started off a bit rocky. Blizzard is helping out and making sure you get even more XP.
Endeavors are one of the major social features of housing in World of Warcraft. Every month, visitors from various races and cultures come to your neighborhood for whom you can complete tasks. As a reward, you receive plenty of housing XP (for your house level), progress for the endeavor, and of course, a lot of decorations that you unlock.
However, some neighborhoods had little chance and had to endure nearly endless grinding. This has now been fixed.
Start video
WoW Midnight – The opening cinematic of the new addon shows the attack on Silvermoon
What was the problem with the endeavors? Endeavors had some issues at launch that were apparently not immediately obvious during development, but became directly noticeable in the live system. Some of the key aspects are:
Neighborhoods with few active players have a hard time completing the first endeavor. The system doesn’t have data on how active a neighborhood is yet and would only scale appropriately from the second endeavor onwards.
The repeatable tasks give less and less progress with each repetition. This was meant to incentivize taking on different tasks, but led to even particularly dedicated neighborhood fans being unable to contribute after a while.
The combination of these two circumstances meant that it was already apparent for some neighborhoods after just a few days: The endeavor would not reach a successful conclusion, no matter how hard one tried. As the diminishing returns from the repeatable quests worsen the grind with each completion, the progress becomes ever smaller.
The endeavors caused some small issues – now they are fixed.
Individual players can carry entire endeavors
What has Blizzard changed now? Blizzard has acknowledged the issues and announced some major changes that are now live. These include:
The diminishing returns on repeatable tasks are less severe. Instead of being reduced to up to 20% of the original value, the cap is now at 50%. This way, all tasks still provide good progress even when completed multiple times.
The first endeavor generally requires fewer points to complete. You should see a greater impact from your contributions.
The generic tasks (such as dungeons, depths, raid bosses) give more endeavor experience, so even “normal gameplay” has a noticeable effect on the endeavor.
But for everyone who is having issues with their housing level, there is also a significant improvement:
The maximum amount of housing XP you can earn from endeavors has been increased from 1,000 to 2,250. Together with the completion of the endeavor (250), you now get a maximum of 2,500 housing XP per endeavor, which is nearly a whole level for your house.
Note that the interface has not yet correctly displayed a large part of these changes; this will be addressed in a larger patch. However, you should be able to read the progress on the endeavor progress bar.
Most endeavors should now finish very quickly.
What does this mean? In short, this means that individual players can now have a much greater impact on an endeavor. It only takes a handful of active characters – or even just a single, extremely engaged character – to maximize an endeavor within days.
This should now make it possible to achieve significant progress even in a fairly inactive public neighborhood or in a neighborhood with people who hardly participate in the endeavor.
Additionally, Blizzard has announced that there will be further adjustments to the endeavors in the future, based on community feedback. If you have any further concerns about the endeavors, be sure to share your opinions in the forums or on WoW’s subreddit, or also discuss this feature here in the comments.
However, endeavors are not the only thing in World of Warcraft that urgently needed improvement. One of the “flagships” of Midnight, the Devourer Demon Hunter, needs urgent help – as it is simply a pitiful shadow of what it could be.

The Twitch streamer Kevin “GTime” Lohse is a true veteran in the German content creator landscape. Through a shift in his content and Craft Attack 13, he experienced a renewed surge in viewers.
Who is it about? The streamer GTime has been on the Twitch platform since 2014. Thus, he is one of the veterans in the German Twitch landscape. GTime is a trained chef and also worked in this profession before his Twitch career.
He mainly fills his Twitch channel with gaming content and participated in Craft Attack 13 and other Twitch projects.
Exactly one year ago, in January 2025, GTime had an average of 435 viewers per stream according to SullyGnome.com. Comparing that to his current average viewer numbers, which stand at 5,339, results in an almost twelvefold increase (source: SullyGnome).

How did GTime manage to increase his viewer numbers? In the podcast Henke’s Corner (on YouTube), GTime shared a bit more about his content on Twitch. He produced only gaming content in the past but eventually had no significant success with it anymore.
In August 2024, he set a goal to try Twitch full-time for about a year and then eventually switch back to his previous profession. He also had plans for something with a food truck or an online shop with preserved food.
At the same time, GTime revamped his content: instead of only offering gaming, he combined his desire to lose weight with Twitch. He cooked in his streams and played sports games in front of his viewers.
This, along with his participation in Craft Attack 13, gave the Twitch streamer a boost in terms of viewers. At this point, it seems GTime has reconsidered his plan to stop with Twitch.
By now, GTime has surpassed 1 million followers on Twitch. Previously, GTime had promised his viewers a DJ set, as he had also performed DJ activities before his Twitch career.

Orks follow exactly one tactic in battle, which is “up close and loud,” while roaring “WAAAGH!!!”:
Ork-Boyz charge en masse at their opponents. They are not heavily armored – they overwhelm enemies with sheer numbers.
Stormboyz storm into battle with a rocket strapped to their back, overcoming obstacles that stand between them and a good fight.
Other Orks ride into battle on Squighogs – muscular four-legged creatures with huge mouths that swallow everything that fits.
The Orks are also working on big guns that unleash a loud hail of bullets on their opponents, as well as powerful war machines. The largest and most powerful among them is the Gorkanaut: a walking fortress that crushes Space Marines under its feet and even takes on the Imperial Knights – gigantic, mech-like machines of the Empire.

In Dawn of War 4, there will be two playable Ork clans: Gorgutz, known to fans from parts 1 and 3, leads the Bad Moons. He was seen in the CGI trailer for the Orks and is the one who pressed the cartoonishly large red button. Gorgutz sits in a battle suit equipped with a massive claw that crushes opponents.
New, however, are the Snakebites, the “Boomers” among the Ork clans in the lore of Warhammer 40,000: They traditionally prefer more conventional combat methods over technology. Their Waaaghboss (as the Orks call their leaders) embodies this. He rides on a Squigosaur – an even larger, more vicious variant of the Squighog. From its back, he wields a massive sword.
With Wayfinder, the developers aimed to create a worthy successor to the popular MMORPG WildStar, even though the title ultimately became more of a co-op game than an MMORPG. Now you can try it for free.
What kind of game is this? Wayfinder is an ARPG that you can play together with 2 other friends or even solo. As an ARPG with MMORPG elements, it focuses primarily on exciting battles, tough bosses, and progression systems that turn your character into a true hero.
In doing so, you will traverse different areas in an open world, defeat bosses, collect loot, and improve your character. For endless content, randomly generated dungeons provide variety, looking different each time and presenting different challenges.
Instead of classes, you have access to 8 different characters and weapons, each with unique stats and attributes that allow you to customize your character.
Here you can learn more about the development:

Wayfinder: The former MMO leaves Early Access as an action RPG with coop
So, when it comes to stats, housing, and customizing your own character, you can tell that this was originally intended to be an MMORPG. As a player, you can furnish your own house with over 300 items.
You can completely dye your armor in dozens of different colors, and there are various equipment sets that you can earn. Crossplay for you and your friends is also possible.
In response to a post, the former creative producer of WildStar, Chad Moore, said back then: “This is the 2nd chance for the best MMO ever.” Thus, the ARPG offers just the mix of fantasy and sci-fi, as well as steampunk and martial arts elements that made the setting of WildStar so enjoyable.
What does the game cost? Initially, Wayfinder was supposed to be a free MMORPG, but the developers decided to stick with a Buy2Play model during the transition to a co-op game. Regularly, Wayfinder costs €24.50 on Steam.
Currently, however, the game is playable for free until January 29 at 7:00 PM, giving all interested parties the opportunity to check out the game for free. If you like what you see, Wayfinder is available with a 70% discount for €7.35 until February 2.
With Wayfinder, the developers have captured the spirit of WildStar and have tried their best to implement it. The fact that the game did not turn into a real MMORPG does not detract from the current version, as the inherited features benefit every ARPG. Another ARPG is taking more inspiration from Path of Exile 2 in its development: New ARPG mixes Path of Exile 2 with one of the most successful games on Steam, with only 2 developers.

The House Baratheon is one of the most important noble houses in Game of Thrones. But which Baratheon was actually the most powerful in the history of Westeros? MeinMMO has selected the 8 strongest members for you.
What is House Baratheon? House Baratheon is one of the great houses of Westeros. Since Aegon’s Conquest, they have ruled over the Stormlands south of King’s Landing. Their seat is Storm’s End, and their motto is “Ours is the Fury”.
The sigil of the house shows a black stag on a golden field. After the coronation of Robert Baratheon, he divided the land among himself and his two brothers, creating three bloodlines:
House Baratheon of King’s Landing: Rulers of the Crownlands, founded by Robert Baratheon
House Baratheon of Dragonstone: Rulers of Dragonstone, founded by Stannis Baratheon
House Baratheon of Storm’s End: Rulers of Storm’s End and the Stormlands, founded by Renly Baratheon
What criteria were used for the ranking? Strength and power can naturally look very different. In the ranking, we primarily assess based on: political power, strength in battle, popularity, and influence on history. We also only looked at characters who were explicitly born as Baratheon. That means:
no bastards (like Gendry)
no married-in Baratheons
no alleged Baratheons (like Joffrey, Tommen, and Myrcella).
Spoiler warning: Events from Game of Thrones are spoiled. Spoilers for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms are hidden separately, so you don’t have to worry here.

Then you will see A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms with different eyes…
Rank 8: Stormbreaker
Almost nothing is known about “Stormbreaker”, a legendary knight from House Baratheon. We don’t even know his first name. It is said that he always brought glory to his house. His deeds must have been very impressive. At least, his name is mentioned in the same breath as Lyonel Baratheon, whom we will encounter later on this list.
What makes the character truly special is his backstory. In fact, there is an officially supported text-based online role-playing game by George R.R. Martin, which has existed since the publication of the first books. The website (Westeros.org) was founded by two fans, Elio Miguel García Jr. and Linda Maria Antonsson. The two had such enormous knowledge about the world of Westeros that they worked as official “fact-checkers” for Martin, and later also became co-authors for the book “Westeros – The World of Ice and Fire”. In this book, Stormbreaker is mentioned. They pay tribute to a longtime friend and collaborator who embodied the character Ser Sarmion “Stormbreaker” Baratheon in the online role-playing game.
Rank 7: Raymond Baratheon
Not much is known about Ser Raymond Baratheon either. He was the younger son in his branch of the family, and thus had no prospect of inheriting land or titles. Therefore, he became a member of the Kingsguard of King Aenys I. Targaryen, long before the time of “Game of Thrones” and “House of the Dragon”.
In his role as a knight, he did very well and gained glory primarily by saving his king’s life. At that time, there was great tension between House Targaryen and the Faith of the Seven, which did not tolerate the incestuous relationships of the ruling family. Two members of the “Poor Fellows”, a religious military order, broke into the king’s chamber to permanently remove him from the way. Fortunately, Ser Raymond was present and was able to prevent the assassination with swift action.

Sentenced to be a Hero is well-received by the Anime community. However, they could do without one main character, as the image from the new episode proves.
Which character is that? Teoritta is a goddess of swords. In the world of Sentenced to be a Hero, goddesses are not abstract beings, but partners of the heroes, granting them immense powers. She is the partner of protagonist Xylo.
As a sword goddess, Teoritta can summon powerful weapons that Xylo uses in his fight against the demons. Her pact with the hero is particularly controversial because Xylo is a convicted hero whose crime was killing his previous goddess.
The blonde goddess is described as energetic and a bit eccentric. She enjoys being praised and expects a certain level of homage. However, her manner is what annoys many viewers.

The goddess Teoritta would not be missed
What does the community think of the goddess? The creators of the anime have released a new image for the upcoming episode. These images attract a lot of attention every week, especially since the anime turned out to be a surprise. Fans on Reddit notice that the goddess is not visible at all. One user even jokes that the goddess was killed and that Xylo, the protagonist, must have found a new goddess.
This would happen every few episodes. However, users clarify that this is just a joke and that Teoritta will still play a significant role in the future.

In fact, there are many users who would wish for exactly that. For them, Teoritta is as annoying as Paimon from Genshin Impact, and they would prefer to see her dead. The hate for her goes so far that one user writes that the show would only be watchable for him if she were gone.
Also, the gimmick of her constantly getting a pat on the head when she is praised is embarrassing for many.
However, there are some opposing voices and fans who can find something appealing about Teoritta. Some even wonder if there will be a relationship between her and Xylo in the future, as they have an interesting dynamic.
Which side are you on? Are you a fan of Teoritta or would you not even notice if the goddess suddenly disappeared? Let us know in the comments.
ARC Raiders gives collectors a new task with the latest update: more ducks to clutter your hideout.
The rubber duck in the cover image is unfortunately a symbolic image and is not available in ARC Raiders.
What kind of player is this? In November 2025, we reported on a player who collects rubber ducks in ARC Raiders. A few weeks after release, he already had 600 of the squeaky yellow companions in his storage. But he was dissatisfied because he could only display 9 in the hideout and requested more space for the rubber ducks.
They now come in different colors and variations with different rarity levels.
On Reddit, players have already shared the first screenshots of their new achievements. There is now a pink duck, a green version with alien eyes, a white snowboarder duck with a scarf and glasses, and many more.
If the collector wants to face the ultimate collector challenge now, he also has to collect the new ducks – because without them, his collection is incomplete. However, he has not commented on Reddit yet whether he intends to take on this challenge.
This is what the community says about the update: On Reddit, many players celebrate the duck update. One user calls them “beautiful”, another refers to the update as “breathtaking”. The expression “the biggest win since launch” is also mentioned. Over 9,000 players gave an appropriate Reddit post an upvote.
High prices for hardware challenge not only gamers but also manufacturers. The company Zotac now explains in a statement how serious the situation really is. And Zotac emphasizes that the worst is yet to come.
Those looking to buy new hardware for their computer are currently confronted with high prices: Not only the prices for RAM but also for graphics cards and SSDs have been continuously rising for weeks.
The rising prices are primarily attributed to AI companies. A major graphics card manufacturer, Zotac, has now issued a statement in its Korean shop stating that this may not be the end of high prices and problems. It could even get significantly worse. And even for manufacturers like Zotac, the current situation is supposed to be threatening.

Why is RAM so expensive? The current situation explained in 2 minutes
Manufacturers paint a grim picture for graphics cards
What does the situation look like? Zotac Korea has issued a strong warning regarding the consequences of the worsening memory shortage on its official online shop in Korea, Zotac Korea TagTag Mall. The manufacturer states that the current conditions “are so serious that they raise concerns about the survival of graphics card manufacturers and dealers in the future.”
The current situation is extremely serious – so serious that concerns regarding the continuity of graphics card manufacturers and dealers are emerging.
The supply of memory chips remains limited, and it has been announced that the supply of GPUs will also be reduced.
Furthermore, it is expected that several models will be unavailable for an extended period.
Personally, I am increasingly concerned that, apart from the GPUs produced by Samsung, stable supply in the future may no longer be possible.
Moreover, the prices we have recently received are at an unreasonable level.
Not only has the price for the RTX 5090 risen sharply, but the price increase for the 5060 is also significant.
Zotac makes it clear in its statement that prices will continue to rise and the materials for graphics cards will also now be reduced. Certain graphics cards have already been affected by price increases, while others will follow.
Moreover, the manufacturer warns that entire series of graphics cards could disappear from the shelves in the future: On the one hand, production would not be worth it, and on the other, prices would be so incredibly high that it would no longer be possible to demand reasonable prices from buyers. For gamers looking to buy a new graphics card, this shortage means further rising prices.
How long will the prices continue like this? The AI-induced boom in RAM and other components is expected, according to experts, to last throughout 2026. Some even anticipate high prices to continue into 2027. If you urgently need new hardware in 2026, you should expect to pay significantly more than in 2025.
The new seriesA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms currently delights fans of Westeros. Marco Risch from the YouTube channel Nerdkultur has analyzed the first episode and highlights what sets it apart from Game of Thrones.
Who is Marco Risch? Since 2015, Marco Risch has been publishing videos on his YouTube channel Nerdkultur, where he covers various films and series through reviews, analyses, news, or interviews.
Additionally, he talks with his colleague Yves Arievich once a week on the Podcast Nerd & Kultur about various topics from pop culture.
Both the YouTube channel and the podcast are part of the Webedia network, which also includes MeinMMO.
Marco’s new video deals with the series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which premiered on January 19, 2026, on the new streaming service HBO Max. In it, he shows how the series opener differs from the other Westeros series, Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.
Here you can watch Marco’s video in full:

Then you will see A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms with different eyes…
A good story is a journey
What does Marco explain? At the very beginning, Marco talks about the showrunner of the series, Ira Parker. It’s important for him that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms does not start dark like Game of Thrones, but with a character who is not yet a hero. According to Marco, Dunk must first become a fully developed character; his story is a journey.
The opening of the first episode makes it clear that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms differs from the previous stories from Westeros. Director Owen Harris, known among other things for a Black Mirror episode with a surprisingly positive ending (San Junipero), is a newcomer to the world of Westeros, and according to Marco, this is a great strength.
Because he would not copy the look and style of Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, but rather give A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms a fresh coat of paint with new stylistic devices. He shows a world full of wit, creative cuts, and a color palette that is noticeably more saturated than in Game of Thrones. Nevertheless, we recognize the world again – it is familiar, and overall, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is therefore a homage to the main series.
A grounded world
What makes the first episode so good? According to Marco, the depicted world feels so real also because it is mostly real. The creators wanted to film as much as possible directly on camera and only rely on visual effects in a few places.
Representative of this approach is the real set, which is self-contained and where a manageable story takes place. The world feels grounded, also because fantasy elements like dragons do not play a role.
And thus, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms often reminds of other knight stories. As an example, he mentions the 2001 film A Knight’s Tale. According to Marco, George R.R. Martin had the urge to spend more time with the lancers of his world, far removed from the grand, epic narrative of Game of Thrones.
Similar to what the author does in his texts, the series would also tell its story from a fixed perspective, a point of view. Dunk is the protagonist, and we experience his search for meaning in life directly through his eyes.
Are there similarities between the series? Marco emphasizes that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, despite all differences, takes one thing from the main series: ambiguity.
Much is only suggested, but not explicitly stated. The camera and the editing work with confusing perspectives, ambiguous compositions, and flashbacks.
The stakes for protagonist Dunk are high: especially at the big tournament, it is about nothing less than his existence – at the same time, his new life begins right there, including a new name: Ser Duncan the Tall.
As such, he will become famous in Westeros, but in Episode 1 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Dunk is still just a hedge knight, as the episode is titled. According to Marco, there is still a long way to go to fame and fortune. MeinMMO editor Niko Hernes came to a clear conclusion after watching the series: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is not a new Game of Thrones, but that is a good thing.

The highlight of World of Warcraft Midnight is a complete failure. WoW demon Cortyn leaves no good horn on the new specialization.
It was supposed to be one of the highlights of the expansion “Midnight”. While not a new class, at least a new specialization for demon hunters. The Devourer sounds extremely cool in concept. It uses void energy to annihilate its enemies with devastating attacks. Fitting with the theme of the Midnight expansion and finally a 3rd specialization for the demon hunter.
However, Blizzard has failed with this introduction and not just “a little”, but phenomenally and catastrophically. The new specialization seems poorly thought out, inconsistent, and above all unfinished. It does not match the quality of other features (such as housing) or the new transmog system. It feels like an early beta concept that needs much polishing.
But let’s start from the beginning.
Start video
WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features
A class that never reaches the peak
Most classes and specializations in World of Warcraft have something that I like to call a “peak” state. This is the moment when all major cooldowns are active and you unleash a true fireworks display of effects and damage upon your enemies. For the shadow priest, that would be the void eruption with active void torrent and soul of power, unleashing devastating shadow effects and sending countless fatal spirits flying at all enemies.
For the fire mage, that’s when combustion is active and every spell is a critical hit—because then you can basically spam pyroblasts and enemies don’t even know what hit them.
The Devourer demon hunter has such a state too – mainly in theory. Because the spell “Collapsing Star” can only be used during metamorphosis. Essentially, it’s a race against time because you have to build enough resources during metamorphosis to unleash the star.
However, achieving this in practice is currently not so easy. Because if you have to evade a spell for even a moment too long, you won’t have enough time. It’s even more frustrating when the enemy dies while you’re summoning the star—because then it also breaks and has no effect.
No wonder then that in the WoW subreddit, the specialization is ridiculed and cynically remarked: “Finally, a specialization that fulfills the fantasy of ‘Blue Balls’.” A specialization that is endlessly focused on building up but never reaches the fulfilling peak.
That may be described a bit vulgarly—but it hits the nail on the head.
This problem is further exacerbated by the fact that with the Devourer, you essentially just spam one ability continuously, hoping to finally be allowed to use the big finisher (which usually never happens). Everything feels sluggish and monotonous. Because the Devourer is only complete with the talents from Midnight.
This is just the tip of the iceberg and only a small aspect of why the new specialization doesn’t feel rounded.
No weapons, no joy
Things are even worse when leveling the class, as other problems arise.
Devastating is also the weapon selection for the demon hunter. Because a demon hunter in the devastation specialization can use glaives, swords, and axes. However, he needs such weapons with intelligence.
Try to find such weaponry with intelligence during the leveling phase—that’s a rare exception.
A big announcement – that completely fails.
This leads to demon hunters often needing to level up 20, 30, or even 40 levels while wearing such poor weapons that they cannot deal the necessary damage to fight more than two mobs simultaneously.
Especially “amusing” is when demon hunters sign up for timewalking dungeons and the tanks suddenly plead with Blizzard to help the poor Devourers because the tanks alone do more damage than all 3 Devourers in the group combined.
I have often read in the past days: “I think the Devourer is not for me, I died several times while questing.” This did not come from people who have no clue about WoW—but from players I usually do heroic raids with. It’s already almost an art to die during WoW’s leveling phase, yet with the Devourer demon hunter, it’s an everyday occurrence.
No customizations, no effort
Another aspect especially affects the void elf demon hunters because Blizzard really made no effort with them. They seem sloppily implemented without a thought. Because: They have exactly the same customization options as their blood elf siblings from the Horde.
What seems logical at first glance, as blood elves and void elves share the vast majority of animations and graphical customizations, becomes ridiculous once you look at the details.
Becase demon hunters have special underwear that was originally created for night elves and blood elves (the first possible demon hunters). For blood elves, the color of the underwear is red—red like the banner of Silvermoon, their capital.
Exactly this underwear is now also worn by void elf demon hunters. There are also no unique tattoos that were originally promised (and then deleted from the blog post).

What annoys me almost more are the eyes. Because Blizzard never tires of emphasizing that they put a lot of effort into replacing the fel green fire with the cosmic blue of the void. This has succeeded everywhere—but specifically not with the eyes, the most iconic body part of the demon hunters, who regularly use the ability “Eye Beam”.
No meaningful story, no explanation
Lastly, the existence of a “Void Demon Hunter” still makes little sense to me. Even after playing through the associated quest, I still don’t grasp it fully. Because the core aspect of a demon hunter, after all, is that one gouges out their eyes and absorbs the essence of a demon, with which one is always in conflict.
I really hoped that Blizzard would provide some coherent lore here. Because I fundamentally believe that a lot is possible in WoW if one takes the effort to explain it historically consistent and logically. However, why Devourer demon hunters should even be called “demon hunters” is completely unclear to me. They are just “Void Elves with extra steps”.
My conclusion is correspondingly devastating. I am deeply disappointed and see it like the community: The Devourer simply sucks. What was supposed to be one of the flagship features of Midnight turned out to be a complete mess and was unnecessarily smashed against the wall due to an unfinished and poorly thought out implementation long before the actual expansion launched. The Devourer demon hunter stands there like an incomplete idea from the developers that could someday become great if only more time and resources had been invested.
When comparing the Devourer to sensible, strong features like housing or the new transmog system, you have to clearly say: That was nothing, Blizzard. The Devourer demon hunter has, following Illidan’s model, sacrificed everything. Unfortunately, also the quality. Let’s hope that upcoming new specializations are better thought out.
