For many, the toxic community in League of Legends is the biggest game spoiler. Especially Inting ruins the fun for many players in matches. One aspect of this is the so-called Soft Inting. Therefore, Riot wants to tackle this with the probably toughest penalty.
However, among the comments on the post, the LoL players are surprisingly hesitant and find the punishment a bit too drastic, especially because it is difficult to define what Soft-Inting actually is.

Swarm – Trailer for the new LoL PvE mode
Players are wondering how to define Soft-Inting
How could one define Soft-Inting? Normal Inting is relatively easy to spot. A player actively lets themselves be killed or simply runs into enemies, for example. With Soft-Inting, defining it becomes a bit more difficult.
In the comments, @SoulHuntah_ defines the term as: One does not play to win. For example, one does not play with the team or ignores objectives. Other users, like @Loki1v9, define it a bit more cynically: That is when you intentionally try to lose the game for your team, but do not make it too obvious.
The problem lies in the definition, as it can sometimes be difficult to tell if someone is just having a bad match or is actively trying to lose the game. Users like @Netherim1 also see this as a problem.
In general, many players think it is good that Riot is taking action against this. But for many, the severity of the punishment is a step too far.
Familiar faces in the community are also speaking out under the post, who consider the hardware bans to be a step too far. For example, Spideraxe, an important account that regularly posts news about LoL, thinks the hardware bans are too drastic. They could also remove people from the normal queue as a punishment for a certain period and let them play only with bots.
Other users also believe it is right to initially punish such offenses more leniently. What do you think about it? Do you find it fair or would such a punishment be too harsh? Let us know in the comments.

As with every new chapter release of the manga One Piece, there are again leaks about the upcoming content. In the new chapter, we will likely learn that there is another person who has a D. in their name.
Warning, Spoiler: We are discussing the contents of chapter 1120 here. The chapter is actually not scheduled to be released until July 15, 2024.
Which person also has a D. in their name? In a flashback, we see Dr. Vegapunk talking to Clover (known in German as Professor Kleeblatt). The scientist reveals that he also has a D. in his name (via reddit).
Professor Kleeblatt was an archaeologist on Ohara and the head of the island’s library. He lived on the same island as Nico Robin during her childhood.
He studied the Poneglyphs, which are stones engraved with ancient writing.
He died 22 years ago during a Buster Call on Ohara.
The hairstyle of Professor Kleeblatt reveals the origin of the name.
In his transmission, Dr. Vegapunk also reveals to the world that Gol D. Roger, the current Pirate King, carries a D. in his name. Dedicated manga readers already knew that the Pirate King also has a D. in his name. However, for the world, this information is shocking as it was not publicly known.
As the leaks have always been reliable so far, we assume that the leaked information will be true in this case as well.
The anime and manga of One Piece are currently both in the Egghead arc:
Start video
One Piece: New trailer shows first images from the Egghead Island arc
The Will of D. was also carried on by Professor Kleeblatt
There are characters who are connected through their D. in their names. So far, some individuals known to carry the second name D. include:
the Monkey family (Luffy, Dragon, Garp)
the Nefeltari family (Vivi, Cobra)
the Puma family (Ace, Rouge)
Gol D. Roger
Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard)
Trafalgar D. Water Law
Rocks D. Xebec
Hagwar D. Sauro
They all relate to the “Will of D.” The individuals are referred to as enemies of the world aristocrats and the world government. It is no wonder, therefore, that the world government wanted to erase Professor Kleeblatt along with his previous discoveries with a Buster Call.
The families that carried a D. in their names existed already in the Ancient Kingdom 900 years ago. They are supposed to be at the center of world-changing events. Thus, they are believed to be related to a revolution today.
On Steam, a new game has been announced where you will explore the untamed wilderness of the Wild West and will face difficult decisions.
What game is this about? ColdRidge is a new turn-based game on Steam that aims to put you in challenging situations. It is being developed by some strategy veterans who have worked for 12 years at the French studio Amplitude (known among other things for Humankind) and have now come together under the name Frog Collective.
Their first project will now be a turn-based exploration game in the Wild West, but with a mystical touch.
Start video
In ColdRidge you explore the untamed wilderness of the Wild West
What can you expect? The trailer gives you a first glimpse of the graphics and gameplay that awaits you in ColdRidge. While everything seems quite simple and clear, it is graphically designed with loving illustrations and in typical Western colors.
In the game, you take on the role of a prospector and traverse the untamed wilderness of ColdRidge, with your task sounding simple at first:
Explore the unknown areas of ColdRidge and map resources for powerful guilds.
You accept various contracts that you fulfill by carefully planning your moves. To gain advantages and overcome obstacles, you should always incorporate the terrain and your equipment into your plans.
You should strategically manage contracts to maximize your profits and ensure your long-term survival.
While exploring the wilderness, you will encounter complex puzzles that need to be solved.
Between your missions for the guild, you can buy new equipment from traders to make your life a little easier.
As the trailer shows, it is important that you complete your tasks by the right time if you do not want to be thrown outside the walls of the settlement in winter.
At the trader, you can buy magical portals, as shown in the trailer. It is still unclear how exactly they work and whether you can use them to travel quickly between different locations.
Perhaps the magical portals will simply lead you to completely unknown places. Because it becomes clear that in ColdRidge, no “normal” Wild West awaits you. Fans of another genre can also dive into a new adventure starting from June 2024: A new MMO puts you in the Wild West, coming to Steam in June

The survival title Once Human should be everything that The Day Before once promised. Whether it can meet players’ expectations, you will find out on MeinMMO.
What is Once Human all about? Once Human is a free survival game for PC and mobile that lets players explore an open world together and fight against monsters.
Since July 9, the survival title has finally been playable – shortly before its release, there were two stylish trailers:
Start video
Im Survival-Spiel Once Human müsst ihr zusammenarbeiten
Players complain: Once Human is said to be a data octopus
Can Once Human meet expectations? Currently, it does not look very promising. Although the survival hope had a decent start on Steam, the first reviews are rather mixed.
With 68,000 concurrent players and a 24-hour peak of 82,000, Once Human ranks in the top 20 of the most played games on Steam, but has only a 56% positive rating (via SteamDB).
What bothers the players? As is common with new games, Once Human also faced server issues at launch. Initial players reported long wait times, crashes, and lags. Furthermore, frustration arose from in-game shop prices and the limitation to one character, without the possibility to switch servers.
However, the most common criticism is the data privacy policy of Once Human. Many players complain that the survival game requires personal data that has nothing to do with gaming at all. According to the Privacy Policy, this includes things like the full name, state identification as well as passport data (via easebar).
In discussions on Steam and Reddit, users are more relaxed about data collection: the Privacy Policy is quite standard. Additionally, data is not automatically collected, but also includes information that players can voluntarily provide – for example, to make a purchase or participate in surveys.
Developers respond to feedback, receive praise
Is there any positive news? Indeed, yes. So far, the developers have shown themselves receptive to feedback. The devs reported on Discord just a few hours after release that players can now create multiple characters. This feature had actually been postponed for optimization, but “it backfired”.
The quick response is rewarded by the players and praised in reviews on Steam. This is also reflected in the overall rating, which was initially quite negative and has since risen to “mixed”.
For some, Once Human actually fulfills what was once promised in the trailers for The Day Before. The survival game may not necessarily reinvent the wheel, but it is simply fun, that seems to be the consensus.
So it seems that Once Human has not yet fully lived up to the title of the great survival hope. Now it must be shown how the game develops and whether its mobile status will be its downfall. At least there are still the 25 best survival games 2024 for PS5, Steam, and Xbox.

Tarisland launched on June 21, 2024, and since then you have the choice between nine classes and 18 specializations. MeinMMO presents the various archetypes and reveals whether there are comparable counterparts in World of Warcraft.
Update: We have updated the article on July 10, 2024.
As Tarisland is heavily inspired by World of Warcraft in many areas, you will also find out here whether there are comparable classes for the archetypes from Tarisland in the great role model WoW.
These classes exist in Tarisland:
Warrior – Fury & Shield
Paladin – Vigil & Justice
Ranger – Tamed Beast & Hunting
Barbarian Fighter – Frozen & Thunder
Bard – Harmony & Solo
Priest – Faith & Prayer
Magician – Frost & Fire
Shadow Bladeslinger – Cunning & Duel
Phantom Necromancer – Soul Robbery & Soul Healing

The cinematic trailer of Tarisland sets the mood for the launch:

The Tarisland Classes in the Guide: The Warrior
1st Specialization: Fury (Melee Damage)
2nd Specialization: Shield (Melee Tank)
Weapon: Sword and Shield or two swords
Comparable class from WoW: Fury or Protection Warrior
Race: Human
Gender: Male
The Warrior from Tarisland.
The class abilities of Shield
Shield Strike: Consumes a small amount of AP. Use your shield to hit the target, dealing physical damage and gaining resistance.
Trampling Storm: Consumes a small amount of AP. Stomps the ground, dealing physical damage to nearby enemies and briefly reducing their movement speed. This skill can grant resistance when cast. Additional resistance is granted for each target hit.
Shield Attack: Consumes a medium amount of AP. Attack the target with your shield, causing physical damage, gaining resistance, and increasing secondary attributes related to strikes for a certain duration.
Reinforced Barrier: Consumes a large amount of resistance. Gain a damage-absorbing shield. The remaining absorption amount when the shield is exchanged is incorporated into the new effect.
Last Resistance: Stimulates your potential, increases your maximum HP for a certain duration, and then immediately restores a specific amount of HP.
Impenetrable: Turn into a strong shield that protects everyone. This allows you to reduce incoming damage for a certain period and increase defense-related secondary attributes.
The Shield specialization has ultimate abilities such as Taunting, Interrupting, Control, and Healing Reduction.
The resources of Shield are AP and resistance. During combat, AP is gradually restored. Using an ability consumes AP. Each time you successfully block an opponent’s attack or cast a skill that consumes AP, you gain resistance. Consuming resistance can enhance the absorption effect of Reinforced Barrier and increase the Warrior’s protection. The Tarisland class is one of the three tanks in the game.
Here you can see gameplay of the Warrior class:

Fury Blade: Must consume Fury. Transform the power of Fury into a blade to attack the target twice and deal physical damage each time.
Armor Penetration: Break the target’s defense with a powerful blow, deal physical damage, and increase the damage you deal to the target for a certain duration.
Blade Whirlwind: Turn into a blade storm and attack surrounding enemies multiple times within a certain period, dealing physical damage each time. You can move while the skill is being cast, and you are immune to movement-reducing effects. Immunization is not possible against some boss abilities.
Endless Fury: Unleashes endless Fury, increasing the basic Fury gain of all skills and also the secondary attributes of combos for a certain period.
From immediate Displacement, HP recovery to precise Interrupts, slowing speed on the battlefield, releasing body restrictions, and even reducing the healing ability of opponents, Fury specialization Warriors possess all kinds of ultimate skills.
The exclusive class resource of Fury specialization Warriors is – not surprisingly – Fury. You gain Fury by casting certain class skills. The skill Fury Blade consumes Fury to deal great damage to the target.

The Twitch streamers Papaplatte and BastiGHG are promoting the new youth word “Whoppa” on Twitch. This is not the first time that Papaplatte could be successful with his efforts for the youth word.
How did the discussion about the youth word arise? On July 8, 2024, Papaplatte, one of the most well-known German Twitch streamers, along with his colleague and streamer BastiGHG, creates a funny moment during a live stream when they discuss potential candidates for the youth word 2024.
The discussion arises when both streamers talk about a previous Instagram story where Papaplatte used the phrase “Ein bisschen durchwhoppan.” Promptly, Papaplatte suggests: “I think we should go with durchwhoppan for the youth word, bro.”
HandOfBlood is also among the successful streamers and YouTubers who regularly deliver exceptional content:
Start video
HandOfBlood: The most important thing about the YouTuber and Twitch streamer in under a minute
“We are at a better point,” says Papaplatte
Which words have been submitted so far? In the discussion, Papaplatte criticizes the proposals submitted so far for the youth word 2024. He finds terms like “I’m cooked,” “I’m spraying the yogurt,” and “full yogurt” unsuitable.
Instead, he prefers “Whoppa” as a “better number” that, in his opinion, offers more expressive options. “We are at a better point,” he comments.
What does “Whoppa” mean? According to the two streamers, it is probably a kind of universal word that can be filled with meaning. This can express something that could not be expressed before, explains BastiGHG.
“It opens a new door,” summarizes Papaplatte. As an example, they provide: “I’m going to whoppa here nicely now.” or “I’m whoppaing myself to bed now.”

How does the process work? The decision on whether “Whoppa” will be crowned the youth word 2024 is still pending.
Currently, suggestions for the youth word can still be submitted until July 18, 2024. Voting on the youth word will begin on July 30, 2024, and the winner will finally be announced on October 19, 2024 (via Langenscheidt).
What youth words have there been in recent years? Of course, Papaplatte’s suggestion is not meant to be taken too seriously. The streamer is known for actively campaigning for the election of the youth word.
In 2021, he attempted to establish the word “Papatastisch,” which, however, was not chosen as the youth word of the year. The word that won was: “cringe.”
Many electronic devices like the PS5 switch to standby mode. But what does that mean and why should it be avoided? MeinMMO explains what it entails.
From the microwave to the PS5 and all the devices you have at home: There are dozens of devices at your home that silently consume power. This is because many devices switch to standby mode after use. Essentially, you are paying for electricity that you are not using.
MeinMMO explains what standby mode is, what you should know about it, and how you can save electricity.
Standby mode is offered by almost every electronic device
What does standby even mean? Standby means nothing more than “Always ready.” When you turn off a device, such as your TV, a light still glows, indicating that the TV is in standby mode.
The advantage is simple: You save yourself the annoying wait until your device is turned on. Because as soon as you reach for your remote control, you can turn the TV back on within seconds without having to wait for it to start.
Theoretically, every electronic device you have plugged into a socket but are not currently using switches to standby mode. And there can be a lot of devices:
Gaming consoles and your gaming PC.
Household appliances like microwaves and rice cookers.
The TV and various accessories like speakers, Blu-ray players, and more.
Power adapters for charging phones, laptops, and other devices.
You can usually tell if your device has switched to standby by a light that is glowing, your microwave showing a time, or your PS5 still faintly glowing. This alone indicates that power is still flowing.
Why can this be a problem? Every device consumes electricity in standby mode, and the amounts differ significantly. The more devices you leave in standby mode, the higher the silent power consumption. In the end, this burdens both the environment and your wallet.
The large Australian comparison portal Canstar explained, for instance, that the electricity consumption in standby mode could cost an average household between 100 and about 160 euros per year.
Can this be measured? Yes, it can! Our recommendation: Grab a power meter for the socket and check all devices that are plugged in and unused at your home. This way, you can quickly get an overview of what your electronics consume. You can get a power meter for about 10 euros at a hardware store or on Amazon.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Reduce electricity consumption in standby mode – Here’s how
You can reduce power consumption in standby with a few simple tricks. MeinMMO presents three easy methods to help lower consumption.
Turn off devices at the wall
As trivial as it sounds, the simplest and safest way is to turn off the devices directly at the socket. This can be done either conveniently through a power strip or by unplugging the cable from the socket. There are also timer switches (so-called time switches) or smart devices that can automate the shutdown for you.
Buy energy-efficient devices
If you notice a very high standby consumption but cannot or do not want to turn off your devices completely, it might be worth looking for energy-efficient devices to replace the old ones.
Change or turn off standby settings
Many modern devices now offer an integrated feature that allows you to adjust the standby mode. You can either turn it off completely or set when it should be used.
If you disable certain functions, such as automatic updates on the PS5 in standby, you can additionally reduce power consumption in standby mode.
Save even more electricity: It may also be beneficial for you to completely turn off your PC. Reasons why you should give your PC a break at night can be read directly on MeinMMO: 5 reasons why you should turn off your computer at night

In Tarisland there are many different classes and specifications. With this overview, we want to show you which class and specialization performs best.
Update: We updated this article on July 10 and adjusted the ranking. This includes the current changes from the new patch affecting the ranger.
What is the Tier List based on? The Tier List evaluates the classes and their specifications based on their fundamental usefulness in the game. Individual classes may be more useful for specific game modes than for others, but we consider how well the classes perform overall.
Additionally, we only consider characters who have already reached level 40 and have acquired all skill points and enhancements as well as a higher level in “Labeled Stone Energy” in our Tier List.
Where do the data come from? The data for the Tier List comes from the Chinese server. Players there could play nine days earlier than everyone else. Therefore, they are already better equipped and have more experience.
In the game, a ranking can be viewed that shows the classes that completed the raid the fastest. The Tarisland content creator Spid has tested a lot in China and justified his opinion on YouTube.
However, we also consider the latest patches, which is why the Tier List may change repeatedly. We update this article regularly.
Here you can watch the cinematic trailer for the release of Tarisland:
Start video
Tarisland: Trailer for the global launch shows cinematic class action
Why is there no distinction between different DD specifications? Players in China switch between specifications for different content. Therefore, we only distinguish between them when they differ significantly in their playstyle, such as when one is a damage dealer and the other is a tank.
What does “S” to “D” mean? In the Tier List, classes and their specifications are categorized by letters. In this case, “S” stands for the best builds, while “D” denotes the worst.
[toc]
S Tier: The best classes and specifications for Tarisland
The classes and specifications in this category are the best in the game. They perform well in all game modes and have hardly any weaknesses.
In Tarisland, however, classes are close together, so it doesn’t have to be the case that a class from the S tier is necessarily better in every game mode than a class from a lower category. The classes are unordered in their category.
S-Tier: The bard as a damage dealer is superior in every respect
The bard as a damage dealer simply deals very high damage and provides his team with a buff, making him almost indispensable. He also doesn’t fall down after a hit and can be played very well alone.
The class received nerfs in the balance changes, especially for raid bosses, because the damage of the class now requires higher accuracy in playing the rotation. Previously, players could make more mistakes. Nevertheless, the class remains unbeaten as a damage dealer.
It is also well suited for beginners because the note mechanic that the bard uses as a resource for casting is easy to understand and master. In PvP, the bard can easily take on all opponents. The bard as a damage dealer is currently simply stealing the show from everyone.
S-Tier: The barbarian fighter deals significant damage even as a tank
The barbarian fighter is probably the best tank in the game. He provides his team with a good buff and can withstand a lot. For every team, he is therefore an asset, and in PvP, he can also annoy any opponent.
The barbarian fighter is also easy to play, making him very beginner-friendly. The barbarian fighter is the tank that can deal the most damage and can even compete with one or the other damage dealer in the DPS meter, at least temporarily.
The bard is currently the best healer in the game. His abilities are a good mix of group healing and single healing, making him suitable for any situation. The bard healer also has a buff for his team and is very versatile.
The ranger is probably the ranged class with the highest damage. Therefore, she often leads the DPS meter. The class is suitable for all content because both ranger builds work well.
Players often switch builds from boss to boss to maximize damage. The class is easy to learn and hard to master, which the developers also noticed and gave the hunter specification a bit more comfort in the latest balance patch. Bugs were fixed for the class, allowing her to now compete at the top of the DPS meter.
The class brings little burst with both ranger builds, but deals consistently high damage to opponents. However, this also means that she often struggles in PvP, especially in the arena, or loses duels against burst classes.

The new expansion Dawntrail from Final Fantasy XIV launched last week with mixed feedback on Steam. A frequently mentioned reason is the new main character Wuk Lamat, who is criticized for her English voice acting.
Caution, spoilers: The following mentions story details that pertain to the end of the patch series (6.5 and 6.55) of the expansion Endwalker as well as the beginning of Dawntrail. You have been warned.
Who is Wuk Lamat? Wuk Lamat is a female Hrothgar, meaning she is a tall lioness. She is the adopted daughter of the current ruler of Tural, the so-called new world. Her father is slowly looking to pass the scepter to the next generation, and Wuk Lamat is one of the four contenders for the throne.
Why is she the new main character? Until the end of the Endwalker expansion, the player character was always in the spotlight. Now, however, players take on the role of the wise and powerful mentor for Wuk Lamat. You advise and protect her – from her opponents, but sometimes also from her own naivety.
You can see how Wuk Lamat behaves in the story trailer for Dawntrail:
Start video
Final Fantasy XIV: Launch trailer for Dawntrail prepares for the adventure in Tural
Misgendering and Calls for Boycotts – English Voice in the Crossfire
Who voices Wuk Lamat? The English voice of Wuk Lamat is Sena Bryer. The voice actress based in Los Angeles has lent her voice to several game characters, including Justicia in Need for Speed: Unbound.
She announced her work on Final Fantasy XIV earlier this year via X.com:
I am so honored to be the voice of Wuk Lamat in FINAL FANTASY XIV! I can’t thank [Square Enix, Side Global, and Atlas Talent] enough for the dream role of my life! See you in Tural!
What are people bothered by? The crux for a small but vocal part of the platform X.com is that Sena Bryer is a transgender woman.
Specifically at the launch of the early access for Dawntrail, there were many posts referring to Wuk Lamat as Woke Lamat. Many comments are transphobic and malicious. Square Enix, the developer and publisher, is also accused of becoming woke.
The voice actress is also repeatedly referred to by incorrect pronouns. Furthermore, players are called to use different voice acting to avoid hearing the voice of a transgender person.
Is there further criticism of the voice acting? There is general criticism of the voice acting. In a reddit thread, Divinedragn4 comments that Wuk Lamat’s voice lacks any hint of anger or frustration. Her voice simply always has the same tone.
User atheistium agrees in a different reddit post. The voice actress apparently did not receive good feedback from her voice director.
Why is Wuk Lamat still debated? Wuk Lamat is extremely present in Dawntrail. How players perceive her as a character strongly influences how they generally view the story of the new expansion. This has a varied impact on the reviews for Dawntrail on Steam.
When meeting Wuk Lamat, she is an extremely extroverted person. She often takes on too much, plays the strong one, and simultaneously displays a high degree of naivety. Sometimes she resembles a female version of the character Naruto from the eponymous anime series or manga.
In Dawntrail, you also find out that she has never left the capital since her adoption as a baby. The land she is meant to govern, she does not really know. Essentially, Wuk Lamat is an absolute underdog with a lot of heart.
These character traits combined with the newly defined role of the player character are partly why she is so hotly debated.
How does the rest of the community feel about Wuk Lamat? It is nice to see that the largest part of the community absolutely stands behind Sena Bryer and Wuk Lamat. Currently searching for Woke Lamat on X, you will be greeted by a flood of ironic, sarcastic, and Wuk Lamat-loving posts:
Yes, I want XIV to be more woke or whatever, I want to see Wuk Lamat finally flirting with hot girls – @pixieberrytea via X
So are we calling her Woke Lamat before they ironically say it to make fun of her, or are we calling her Woke Lamat after they chose that nickname themselves to also make fun of her? – @pasokonGal via X
Most players are pushing back against the transphobic voices. Many comment as linked above on X.com. But also in Steam reviews, Wuk Lamat and her voice actress receive support.
The next expansion for World of Warcraft is near. Very near. “The War Within” is complete and nothing stands in the way of its release.
Somehow, everything has gone a lot faster than expected. In about 6 weeks, “The War Within,” the 10th expansion of World of Warcraft, will be released. A few weeks before that – probably on July 23rd or 30th – the Pre-Patch 11.0 will already start. The fact that Blizzard is right on schedule can be seen in a small detail that is now visible on the beta servers:
The latest version of “The War Within” is marked as a “Release Candidate.”
Start video
WoW: Trailer for the release date of The War Within
What is a “Release Candidate”? A “Release Candidate” is a designation that you often see on the test realms of World of Warcraft. Once a new patch is displayed as a “Release Candidate,” it means that the work on the patch is complete. If there is still an update for the patch, it is likely to only be small bug fixes that may have slipped into the first Release Candidate.
What does this mean for The War Within? For the next expansion, The War Within, this means: The game is finished. The version currently playable in beta is the same one that you will probably play as a Pre-Patch in a few weeks. Of course, a few things may still change between the release of the Pre-Patch and the actual launch of the expansion – the beta will likely continue a bit longer. But the initial data and details you will get a taste of in the Pre-Event in a few weeks will likely not change.
Interestingly, the beta phase has only lasted just over a month. Because the beta started on June 5, 2024 – so 5 weeks ago. This is probably one of the shortest beta phases between the start of the beta and the Release Candidate in World of Warcraft ever. Are you looking forward to the Pre-Patch and all the innovations that The War Within brings? Or would you have preferred to spend a little more time in the current expansion Dragonflight?

Jason “MrBasedNYC” Itzler is a controversial streamer on the platform Kick. His recent return after a ban ended in another scandal, which led to his channel being banned again after he violated the guidelines once more.
Who is the streamer? MrBasedNYC, whose real name is Jason Itzler, is a 57-year-old streamer known on the platform Kick. The streamer has a criminal past and has been in prison for money laundering, drug trafficking, and prostitution (via Wikipedia).
Itzler primarily streams on Kick and has previously been banned for inappropriate behavior, including sexual harassment and physical assaults. Now, in his first stream after this ban, he is again making headlines for negative reasons and is being banned once more.
Others use their platform to make a positive impact:

Twitch streamer wants to change the perception of gaming as Miss Germany: “One should not demonize it, but also not glorify it”
In his first IRL stream after the ban, MrBasedNYC makes a questionable bet: for every woman he kisses on the mouth, his viewers should gift him 10 subs. He spots a woman on the street who, as he claims, makes a “sound” that draws him to her.
He approaches her and initially asks for a kiss on the cheek. The unsuspecting woman agrees, but instead, he kisses her on the mouth.
“This has never happened in my whole life!”
How did the woman react? The woman visibly feels uncomfortable with the situation and repeatedly states that this is not okay. She immediately says, “You are bad!”
MrBasedNYC tries to justify his behavior by explaining that he didn’t mean it and that he only got closer because the woman made a sound. He says, “No, I didn’t do it intentionally. I was just – I thought you said it. You went ‘Ah!'”
He then asks her how many men have tried that with her. The shocked woman replies, “Never! This has never happened in my whole life! Never, never in my life! No, because I would damn hit them!”

How does he attempt to clarify the situation? Shortly thereafter, he explains the bet to the woman by pointing to the camera and talking about the agreement with his viewers. The woman then repeatedly insists that she is entitled to the money now and that the whole story is not a joke.
He tries to de-escalate the situation by repeatedly offering her drinks, which she always declines, calling them “weird.” As he continues telling his streaming stories, she tells him to leave and leave her alone. He turns the camera away and approaches her again.
When he asks if they should call the police, she reiterates that he should leave her alone. The discussion escalates, and she repeatedly accuses him of being creepy because he keeps smiling. Despite these accusations, he continues to ask if they want to exchange their Instagram names.
What does he say about the situation afterwards? Shortly thereafter, he leaves the scene and makes fun of the woman and the situation. He says, “I mean, come on, she’s damn fat and ugly, with weird red hair, and she’s my age.”
He adds that he didn’t do it for himself but for the chat. Then he asks the chat if he should start a poll on whether he should stay away from women.
“This is literally sexual harassment,” writes a user on X
The user “FearBuck” posted a clip of the stream on X with the comment: “Kick streamer sexually harasses a woman on stream after setting an incentive that he gets 10 subscribers for every kiss from a woman… the video is disturbing.”
The reactions to this are mixed. While the user “Juiceify” doesn’t quite understand what the problem is and asks, “Is this sexual harassment?”, others like “4KT WHO YOU HATE” are shocked by the reactions of other users: “The way this society normalizes this behavior is crazy. This is literally sexual harassment, and some are making a joke out of it or something.”
Channel on Kick no longer accessible
How did the platform Kick react to the situation? MrBasedNYC’s channel is no longer accessible on Kick after the platform apparently decided to remove him due to further violations of rules. Any search for his profile leads to a 404 error message.
This behavior was evidently too much even for the controversial streaming platform.
Soon we can expect the sequel to Gladiator in theaters. Pedro Pascal is also involved. For him, the filming was a real challenge. Especially his co-star made Pascal suddenly feel very old.
What can we expect in Gladiator 2? The sequel to Ridley Scott’s modern classic has taken some time to arrive. Over 20 years have passed since the first part was released in 2000.
Gladiator tells the story of Maximus, who was portrayed by Russell Crowe at the time. In the sequel, we see what happens to Licius Verus, the son of Maximus’ beloved Lucilla. The role is played by Paul Mescal. Other high-profile stars such as Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal are also involved.
The latter mainly remembers the filming. This is especially because it was very strenuous.
Check out the freshly released trailer for Gladiator 2 here:

In Game of Thrones, Pascal fought like a young god
In this fight, Pascal appears highly confident, which is also due to his nasty tactics. He is agile, fast, and puts his physically superior opponent in trouble. Watching this scene, one could get the impression that Pascal would still find such a fight easy today.
But on the set of Gladiator 2, the actor had to learn that he has gotten older. Especially one fight against Paul Mescal’s character pushed him to his physical limits. He describes it as follows:
It was brutal, man. I call him Paul, the brick wall. He’s so strong. I would rather be thrown from a building than have to fight him again. Facing someone who is so fit, so talented, and so young… Besides the fact that Ridley is a genius, Paul is one of the main reasons why I decided to engage in this experiment with my poor body.
That there are physical differences between the two is not surprising. After all, Pedro Pascal is now 49 years old, while Paul Mescal is only 28.
How exactly their encounter will look, we will only know starting from November 14, 2024. Hopefully, Pedro Pascal will have recovered from the strains by then. By the way, the actor owes his career to a teenage vampire series – read more on MeinMMO about it.

In June 2023, Diablo 4 was released, the great hope of millions of fans worldwide. The legendary series has stood for action and fun for over 20 years. Nevertheless, the launch was tough back then. Now a year has passed, and MeinMMO editor and Diablo expert Benedict Grothaus takes a look at what was, what is, and what will come.
The release was gigantic. You probably didn’t notice it at all, but in our editorial office, hell was going on, more or less literally. Back then, I wrote, analyzed, and played Diablo with my whole team daily.
However, only a few weeks after the release, problems arose. What many fans initially dismissed as an issue for hardcore gamers eventually reached everyone: Diablo 4 simply has too little endgame content.
My conclusion after the test back then may have been a bit too optimistic. I never thought Diablo 4 was bad, but only now is it as good as I want it:

How good will Diablo 4 be? The expert’s conclusion after the test
Not good, not terrible: Diablo 4 has lingered in limbo for months
After the initial infatuation with Diablo 4, joy suddenly turned into skepticism and anger. Fans were upset because Blizzard did too little with the really good framework:
The graphic design is top-notch; no other action RPG looks as good right now.
The gameplay is excellent; each class plays uniquely, and the skill design perfectly matches every class fantasy.
The story is, as expected from Blizzard, captivating. Lilith as the main antagonist and the appearance of Inarius in the campaign especially excited old fans.
The problem is: there simply wasn’t enough to do to spend meaningful time in the game. Trading was restricted to inferior items, farming was hardly possible, and Nightmare Dungeons were the only real content at that time.
With Season 1, there was too little new content. A few new items and gems that were very tedious to collect. The devastating criticism after 3 months: Diablo 4 has problems with basic content. The next two seasons were supposed to be better:
Season 3 started with many problems and was only completely fixed weeks after launch. Players demanded to keep the new content permanently.
In between, there were repeatedly balance patches that often caused annoyance. I personally noticed how often my desire to play waned. Until now.
Season 4 has completely changed the game:

Season 4: The turning point for Diablo
Since May 2024, Season 4 has been running and has completely transformed the game. The entire loot system is now different, leveling is faster, and there’s plenty to do in the endgame:
If you want to level up or need loot, go into the improved Hell Flows and smack the demons and Blood Maidens.
If you’re directly hunting for Uber Uniques, fight the big endgame bosses in their “Tormented” version at level 200
If you want to upgrade your top gear or just try to be the best, go into the Pit and try to reach ever-higher levels here – Or challenge Lilith.
Just by hanging around in the Hell Flows, time passes more quickly. The hunt for better loot feels rewarding again, especially through the new crafting system: Almost every item has a chance to become an upgrade or even a God Roll.
Since the release, I’ve been following social media and forums about Diablo 4. Never has Reddit been so positively inclined toward the game. The months before, it was no fun to visit the Diablo 4 subreddit and look around: only complaints and hate.
The developers have already said that Season 4 is not just a new season, but lays the foundation for the future. Therefore, almost all content is not seasonally bound but also available for the Eternal Realm.
What I know about the future gives me hope that the path taken will continue and Diablo 4 will only get better. So far, it looks pretty good. The first expansion Vessel of Hatred has a lot of strong content:
the new class Spiritborn, which I will get to play already on July 11 at Blizzard in Irvine, California
NPC companions, a kind of co-op dungeon for the endgame and revisions for all classes including new skills
and of course more story around Mephisto and – hopefully – a bit more about Lilith
The intro to Vessel of Hatred is already grand – and even brutal for Diablo:

I don’t want to speculate too much about the future, but I see that the upward trend continues and at least the right things are being targeted. If Blizzard stays on course here, it can only be a good thing.
The loot shooter “The First Descendant” is being controversially discussed everywhere. But in the MeinMMO community, there are some gaming enthusiasts who rave about the South Korean game. They miss games like The Division 2 and Anthem – but also Warframe or Destiny are mentioned in comparison.
What stands out in The First Descendant? Particularly readers of MeinMMO seem to particularly like the new loot shooter “The First Descendant”:
The articles about the game are well received on MeinMMO – readers practically snatch the articles out of our hands
Above all, the game is compared with previous loot shooters that we have covered extensively on MeinMMO over the past 10 years

“I feel like it’s 2016 again when I fell in love with The Division 1”
This is what our readers say:
Sabi Paesler writes on Facebook: “To be honest, I find the game a thousand times better than Destiny 2, feel free to stone me, but I played Destiny and found it just terrible.”
Stefan Graf comments: “The game is finally something that captivates me! Pure action! It’s awesome!”
Ramzy writes: “I played The Division for years and always hoped for another loot shooter to give me that feeling of finding fun in the game again.” He discovered The First Descendant on TikTok and fell in love again just like in 2016 with The Division 1.
Furby says: “If Anthem had copied even half as many things as The First Descendant back then, I would be the happiest person in the world?”
La Rs says: “I uninstalled it after 10 minutes. I prefer to play Warframe.”
Pascal Lademann judges: “Destiny ordered on Wish, nothing more. Oh no, sorry, there is a Bunny Big Boob and Ass-Skin – that Destiny naturally doesn’t have.”
Susanne Walther writes: “If you fuse Destiny and Warframe, you get The First Descendant.” – In contrast to these games, The First Descendant lacks a vibrant world, the reader criticizes.
“A continuation of Anthem would be preferable to me. It was more fun.”
This is what it’s about. The First Descendant shows a development that we see in MMORPGs and that can be applied to loot shooters:
Fans of MMORPGs and loot shooters love their main game, are connected to it in a love-hate relationship, and always return loyally to this main game
At the same time, they are willing to check out a new game in their favorite genre – especially if it offers a low entry barrier, is playable on many platforms, and is also free-to-play
Elements like “Looting and Leveling” strongly attract player types who enjoy games like The Division, Anthem, or Destiny – if an attractive progression system is possible in a new game that offers looting and leveling, many players will at least fully engage in the leveling phase
Although there are some stalwarts in the genre, interest in new games is enormous and many are searching for the feeling that their “first loot shooter” love gave them back then.

The Manga of Kagurabachi is increasingly becoming one of the most successful Shounen mangas. Although the story started as a joke in the community, the tale surrounding Chihiro has now become a hidden gem – and is even recommended by a mangaka from the Big 3.
What kind of manga is this? The manga of Kagurabachi is still quite new. The first chapter was released on September 19, 2023.
At the center of the action is a young man named Chihiro Rokuhira.
He is the son of the renowned swordsman Kunishige Rokuhira and dreams of one day following in his father’s footsteps.
The swordsman is murdered one day and Chihiro becomes a swordsman to avenge his father.
With his enchanted sword, he now confronts a group of sorcerers who have stolen six swords from the forge.
Even before its release, the community created numerous memes about the manga. Many of the pictures claimed that Kagurabachi was even better than One Piece and generally the best Shounen manga of all time. The jokes even went so far as to falsify an anime and a video game for Kagurabachi.
Unfortunately, there are no official videos for Kagurabachi, but Naruto strikes a similar chord as the Shounen manga:

What has become of Kagurabachi by now? The memes surrounding Kagurabachi helped the manga achieve great success. The first issue sold so well that there was a third edition.
Now Kagurabachi has gained another well-known fan. None other than the mangaka of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, has recommended Kagurabachi. The official account of the manga shared Kishimoto’s recommendation on X:

That a mangaka of the most popular Shounen mangas speaks highly of Kagurabachi shows that it is more than just a cult meme.
By now, the Shueisha publishing house has so much confidence in the story that it comes first in the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump. This gives the manga a status of being a major bestseller. This is a personal record for the mangaka (via X).
Where can I read the manga? So far, 40 chapters of Kagurabachi have been released. You can read all these chapters in the Manga Plus app, but only in English.
The English physical manga is set to be released on Thalia on November 7, 2024. The second issue will follow on February 4, 2025 (via Amazon). When a German version will be available is unfortunately still unknown.
The recommendation from Masashi Kishimoto is likely a mark of honor for the mangaka of Kagurabachi. Naruto, along with Bleach and One Piece, is among the Big 3 that dominate the Shounen genre.

Players of Helldivers 2 have found a way to survive falls from great heights. They use a specific emote for this. It safely brings them back to the ground while putting a grin on their faces.
What about the damage? If you fall from a great height in Helldivers 2, you suffer fall damage. Depending on how high you were before, this can be fatal. If you are in explosions, it can also throw you across the map – in this case, the impact can be deadly too.
Resourceful players have now found a way to at least partially circumvent the problem. They use emotes to prevent the harsh and deadly impact. The key is just to get the timing right.

As user Chunke-Funke-Monke illustrates in a post on Reddit, an emote can help survive the fall. In the video, he demonstrates it with the emote ‘High Five’, but the hug, which has saved other Helldivers players’ lives, is also said to work.
If you fall from great heights in the game, you need to use one of the mentioned emotes at the right moment. Your character performs it in the air and enters a kind of “stasis”. If you get the timing right, you will hit the ground while still in the animation. This way, fall damage is ignored, and you survive.

Players suspect that this is a bug that developer Arrowhead may patch in the future. It might be triggered by the physics that calculate damage differently for various body parts.
The players’ theory suggests that the rigid body posture during the emote causes them to only impact with a small part, like a hand. Therefore, damage is only calculated at this point, and it is correspondingly low.
What do the players think about the bug? As expected, the discovery is well received among Helldivers players. Chunke-Funke-Monke, who posted the clip on Reddit, thanks the unknown person who inspired him to try the trick with the emote.
Other users in the comments also find it practical and amuse themselves over the funny image of the stiff soldier in the air:
„He turns into an action figure in mid-air,” writes snooparip.
„That’s damn funny, from now on I will take T-poses in the air to survive,” says Educational-Solid-92.
„One of the few bugs/glitches that are too funny to be removed,” says sergeantpancake.
„Please don’t patch this. This is now a mechanic,” hopes Quetzal.
It remains to be seen whether Arrowhead will address the bug and remove it or if the studio will keep the “T-Pose of Democracy” in the game and continue to save many brave soldiers from certain death. Currently, besides this, there is a lull in Helldivers 2 – read on MeinMMO about the low player numbers.

Because two female Pokémon players organized a tournament exclusively for women, they received a lot of criticism and hate from offended men.
What are these tournaments? Two passionate Pokémon players felt it was time for a series of tournaments where only women are allowed to participate. To this end, they created an initiative called “Gardevoir Cup.”
The aim was to create a safe environment for female players. Additionally, it sought to increase their visibility in the community. Especially women still struggle with bullying and sexism. Issues that continue to occur in gaming overall.
The first tournaments went well and were well received. However, when they attracted the attention of some male streamers, the situation changed.

The men feel excluded
What happened? Two Twitch streamers named Riopaser and Bl3sSur, who are heavily involved with Pokémon, discussed these tournaments in a stream. While they admitted that the competitive scene still has a problem with “machos,” they opposed tournaments that separate the genders.
According to Bl3sSur, someone who organizes such an event “doesn’t really want equality.” As a man, he felt offended because he was excluded from the tournaments.
The comments from the two streamers initially met with little favor in their own community. They were accused of having this discussion without a woman present. Unfortunately, the issue was not resolved with that.
What happened next? In the following days, a wave of hate arose against the female tournament organizers. This ultimately led them to cancel upcoming competitions and avoid the scene altogether:
We will keep our distance from the community. This includes all types of live tournaments and streaming. We know that there are many people who support us, but we believe that this community needs a complete change and that the problems will not be solved in the short or medium term.
Statement from the tournament organizer, via 3D Juegos
They also did not ask for the topic to be discussed this way. They currently feel very uncomfortable and would rather take a step back.
The offended streamer Bl3sSur’s apology came two days later. By that time, the damage had already been done. Whether similar tournaments for women will occur again in the future remains to be seen.
Experienced players like the Spanish player Whytenyss consider the tournaments a good way to spare women from uncomfortable situations at traditional tournaments. At least in some parts of the scene, there seems to be increased sensitivity to certain issues – which was the reason for a player’s disqualification at a Pokémon tournament.
