Whether with Nvidia, Intel or AMD: When you play Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, this trick brings you better performance

Gerald Wessel Gerald Wessel Reading time 2 minutes

It breaks records, but technically Elden Ring still lags behind the competition. With a trick, you can enhance your experience.

What is the problem with Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree? Apart from all the achievements of the exceptional role-playing game and its DLCs, one flaw has persistently weighed heavily since release: the technology. From Software has left a lot to be desired in the eyes of many players – including a lot of FPS.

In this Reddit thread with nearly 10,000 upvotes, the lack of DLSS as a popular form of anti-aliasing on Nvidia GPUs is discussed, for example. Neither Nvidia’s upscaling technology nor AMD’s FSR or Intel’s equivalent XeSS is available for Elden Ring – despite many patches and a DLC for around 40 euros. This and more annoys some players, for example:

  • Limit of 60 frames per second, missing technologies, [like DLSS], no support for ultrawide resolutions, inadequate graphics settings including missing options, mediocre performance, even on top machines

A mod rushes to your rescue with FPS

How can a mod improve FPS? The mod by huutai0007 adds exactly the technologies that many players sorely miss and that have become common in graphically intensive titles:

  • NVIDIA DLSS/DLAA (requires at least a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2000 series GPU)
  • AMD FSR3 Upscaler
  • Intel XeSS

Attention! If you use this mod, you must switch to offline mode first, as the mod author points out. The anti-cheat systems of Elden Ring will ban you otherwise, as an intervention in the game files will be detected. This means you will forfeit the option to use Elden Ring’s multiplayer features – so you will always embark on a journey as a Tarnished all alone.

However, if you remove the mod, according to the mod creator, you can play online again since the save files are not manipulated. Valid save games for online play remain, you would only be flagged as a cheater while the mod is installed.

Based on the screenshots provided on Nexusmods, an improvement of around 25 percent in frames per second can be seen with the use of DLSS – while maintaining at least identical visuals.

The installation is not difficult. It essentially only consists of moving some files, selecting a target resolution in the game, and then, via a new menu, choosing the upscaling method in-game.

An English football star was long feared on the field, switched to acting – Played almost only tough guys there

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 3 minutes

In a life, there are sometimes situations where one changes careers. This was also thought by the footballer Vinnie Jones, who dedicated himself to acting during his sports career and is still active today.

Who is Vinnie Jones?

  • He played football in the English professional league from 1984 to 1999
  • For the most part of his career, he played for Wimbledon FC, also spending 2 seasons at Chelsea FC
  • In his first film, he appeared in 1998, in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels by Guy Ritchie
  • Due to his hard approach, he earned the nickname The Axe, which translates to Die Axt

On the field, he was a brute who made a name for himself especially through physicality. To this day, he is said to hold the record for the fastest yellow card in history, as eurosport.com reports. He is said to have received one after just 5 seconds.

You can see his most recent appearance in the Netflix series The Gentlemen:

Start video

Michael Caine inspired Jones

How did Vinnie Jones get into acting? The first film that Vinnie Jones acted in was 1998’s Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. As Belfast Telegraph reported in 2020, Michael Caine and Bob Hoskins approached him and told him that he had an acting career ahead of him. They are said to have praised his presence on screen.

And they said, you have an enormous screen presence – as soon as you appear on screen, you just take control, no matter who is with you on screen.

Jones describes even his first role in this interview as a complete coincidence. Matthew Vaughn and Guy Ritchie allegedly approached him and offered him a cameo role in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Guy Ritchie and Vinnie Jones

How did his career progress? Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is not only the first film that Vinnie Jones starred in, but also the first film by director Guy Ritchie. The collaboration was not a one-time experience. 2 years later, after the Nicolas Cage film Gone in 60 Seconds, he appeared again in a film by Guy Ritchie.

In Snatch, he played his probably most iconic role as Bullet-Tooth Tony. Similar to football, he plays a tough guy here, who everyone is afraid of and who shows presence with his considerable physique.

After that, he appeared in unknown and rather bad films until he played in a big franchise in 2006. In X-Men: The Last Stand, fitting to his stature, he portrayed the villain Juggernaut. Again, suiting his football reputation. Unlike someone like Dave Bautista, he didn’t try out in different roles but remained the hard guy.

However, the massive success eluded Jones. Many of his films have been more like direct-to-DVD material. Apart from films, he also played smaller roles in series, for example in Galavant or in Arrow.

X-Men-3-Vinnie-Jones
Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut in X-Men 3

For The Gentlemen, a Netflix series by Guy Ritchie based on the film, he was able to work with his esteemed colleague again. In a Radio Times interview, he had nothing but good things to say about Ritchie.

He talks about how a single meeting with Guy Ritchie changed his life. In the interview, he also repeatedly refers to him as brother. Perhaps Vinnie Jones is not an incredibly good actor, yet he still manages to show presence, whether in the role of the brute he had on the football field. After The Gentlemen, Guy Ritchie returns to another film in series form: After 13 years, Guy Ritchie continues with Sherlock Holmes, but this time without Robert Downey Jr.

Strong coop game on Steam is like the weather right now, but with zombies – Costs only half in the summer sale

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

The Steam Summer Sale 2024 is currently running and there are again some bargains. A co-op game with zombies adapts to the local weather and gives you vacation vibes in L.A. and lots and lots of weapons.

Which game is it? Dead Island 2 was released in 2023 and it was like a miracle that the game was released after 9 years of development.

  • Dead Island 2 is a co-op zombie game.
  • In L.A., you complete missions for survivors, as the apocalypse has already broken out.
  • There are plenty of weapons for defense, both for melee and ranged combat.
  • Crafting and upgrading weapons is a central gameplay aspect.
  • The game features detailed gore effects.

Unlike other zombie games, Dead Island 2 is primarily a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It picks up many well-known clichés and ridicules them. You can find a trailer for the game here:

Start video
Dead Island 2: Gameplay Launch Trailer

Dead Island 2 has a rather simple story but parodies many well-known L.A. clichés in side quests and the environment. You encounter Hollywood stars or an influencer house full of protein powder and apology scripts for videos.

However, the main focus of Dead Island 2 is its gameplay. Those with a weak stomach should steer clear of the game, as there is a lot of blood and gore. You hack your way through hordes of zombies using all sorts of utensils.

The focus is primarily on melee weapons, which you can upgrade with various gadgets. For example, you can upgrade weapons with fire or electricity, which alters the combat against the zombies.

You can and should do all of this for maximum chaos and maximum fun with friends in co-op mode. However, there is no cross-progression or crossplay with the console versions. PC users can play together on Epic and Steam.

The best MOBA has been dead for 2 years – but that’s exactly why we still play it

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

MyMMO demon Cortyn plays a MOBA that has been dead for years. Yet for a dead game, it still offers fantastic entertainment.

When games “die” and development is halted, it often leads to mourning. Especially after spending many years in a game, it can be quite frustrating to know that there will be no more updates, the player base is slowly dwindling, and the golden years are over.

However, what is a nuisance for many is encouraging my circle of friends and me to play Heroes of the Storm more than ever. Because Blizzard’s MOBA gives us exactly what we miss in other MOBAs: consistency.

One of the last heroes developed for Heroes of the Storm:

Start video
Heroes of the Storm: Spotlight on Deathwing

But to define “Dead” at Heroes of the Storm:

  • In 2018, Blizzard drastically shrank the Heroes of the Storm team. Only a few heroes were released, and patches became less frequent.
  • In 2022, this team was more or less disbanded. Since then, there have only been maintenance patches. There is no new content.
  • Even now, in 2024, Heroes of the Storm is still playable. The servers are still online.

One might wonder: Cortyn, why do you play Heroes of the Storm when other MOBAs are more modern and receive more content?

The answer is simple: Exactly because of that.

Consistency Helps – Because There Are Always More Active Games

The number of games I actively play has significantly increased over the past few years. Alongside the long-standing World of Warcraft, there are Overwatch, Dead by Daylight, occasional Hearthstone, or even single-player games with great scope, like Baldur’s Gate 3 or maybe a Stellar Blade.

This means there are months when I don’t really engage with a MOBA. When I return, everything is different: the “meta” has shifted, heroes have changed, there are new maps, and somehow what I once knew as “good” has become quite different.

This is precisely what doesn’t happen in Heroes of the Storm. The game is exactly how my friends and I like it. It doesn’t change anymore. It stays the same, and we don’t have to learn anything new. What we once know stays with us.

Hots Title
In HotS, all heroes from all Blizzard universes fight.

Additionally, all the things that Heroes of the Storm has done well from the beginning and that set it apart from other MOBAs:

  • The team spirit. The entire team shares experience points; everyone levels up together. There are no “last hits”, or “you stole my kill and XP”. The team always benefits together.
  • Talents instead of items. There is no shop where you have to spend gold to stock up on items. Instead, every hero has 2-4 talents to choose from every few levels that change abilities or grant new ones, so you can customize each hero according to the match without needing to memorize dozens or hundreds of items.
  • Objectives that force action. Every map has additional objectives that inevitably force both teams into team fights. This prevents boredom or a “never-ending back and forth on a lane” where you are just waiting for a micro mistake or for a jungler to secure the kill.

Although Heroes of the Storm has been “dead” for several years and is only in “maintenance mode”, there are virtually no waiting times. Whether we play ARAM or quick matches – usually a match is found within seconds. I can’t judge if this is also true in the early morning hours – but from afternoon to night, you can basically complete match after match. Apparently, there are still enough people playing so that waiting times do not occur.

In a world where games need to reinvent themselves every few years, where every update must bring an overhaul, I love a game that is essentially dead. Because Heroes of the Storm no longer changes, it is the perfect MOBA for me to which I can always return. A game where I immediately feel at home again and instantly know which character has which abilities.

That is something that no “living” MOBA can achieve.

With the Sakurajima update, Palworld has received a whole range of new content. MeinMMO reveals how you can get to the new island of Palworld.

The island of Sakurajima has arrived in Palworld, and there are many new Pals to meet, resources to collect, and challenges to master in the new zone. MeinMMO explains how you can get to the new island.

Start video
In Palworld, you can explore a new island with the Sakurajima update

How to get to the new island in Palworld

Here’s how to get to Sakurajima: If you want to travel to the new island, you can go there without any prerequisites. You do not need to have completed any quest line beforehand.

The new island Sakurajima is located in the northwest of the Palworld map. To reach Sakurajima, you need to head to the northwest of the map:

  • The easiest way is to activate the fast travel point on the “Ice Wind Island.” From there, you can directly cross the sea to the north.
  • Alternatively, you can use the fast travel point “Forgotten Island.” From here, you will also need to cross the sea to the north.

What can you find on Sakurajima? In total, you can catch 14 new Pals and 10 new variants that you can find on the new island.

Additionally, you will find the new resource oil in the north and south of the island alongside sulfur and coal.

Palworld new island
Here is where Sakurajima is located in Palworld.

What should you keep in mind? We recommend that you have reached at least level 45 before exploring the new area. The Pals that appear there are all at a high level and attack you from a distance. If you are at a lower level, you will be defeated quite quickly.

Additionally, you should have enough healing items and a fast flying mount with you. The journey across the sea is longer than it may seem.

FF14 receives a major innovation with Dawntrail, but many players feel it is not enough

jacquelinek jacquelinek Reading time 2 minutes

With the release of Dawntrail in Final Fantasy XIV, a new feature was introduced that involves dyeing clothing. However, while the option to use a second dye slot was initially well-received, the implementation is now causing disappointment among many players.

What is this new feature? With the release of Dawntrail, a new feature was introduced that concerns dyeing clothing. Instead of one dye slot, there is now a second one to further personalize your clothing.

What initially sounded like a great change has, however, disillusioned many players and does not go far enough for many.

Why are players dissatisfied with the new feature? Many players seem to be particularly bothered that it is often tiny details that can be changed, instead of two larger aspects of a piece of clothing. The user Alluminn shares on Reddit his changes to the “Fat Cat Loungewear.”

Here, the user shows that he can change the main color of the piece, but does not have the option to change the larger areas, as one would expect, but only the two small balls on two ribbons.

The user “UnkaDee” then responds on Reddit that his joy has turned “within seconds from ‘oh yes’ to ‘WTF’.” It seems to many players that this is the case with many of the items.

Diablo 4: „Bash nerfed? I don’t think so“ – OP build is supposed to become weaker in Season 5, now deals even more damage

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Blizzard is making adjustments to the classes of Diablo 4 with Season 5, distributing a multitude of buffs as well as some nerfs. Among the nerfed is the Barbarian, but they remain unfazed. One of their strongest builds is even getting stronger – despite a heavy nerf.

This is the nerf:

  • Currently, Season 5 is on the PTR and includes numerous changes, including to the recipes for hardening items. You can find the complete patch notes for the PTR here.
  • The hardening recipe for Bash, the most important stat for Bash Barbarians, has been hit hard – one of the best builds in the tier list from Season 4 overall.
  • Whereas previously up to +105% extra damage was possible, with Season 5 only +20% is left. Still, the build becomes even stronger, as explained by two experts.

Here you can find all info about the release and content of Season 5.

Why is the build now even stronger? Wudijo and Rob are among the top experts in Diablo, with Rob being one of the best Barbarians in the world. Both have tested the new “Bash-Barb” on the PTR.

Their conclusion is that the build is now even stronger than before. During the test, Rob demonstrates that he hits the training dummy alone for several billion with each attack. Among hundreds of millions, barely any hit is recorded (via YouTube). He states:

The Bash-Barb is alive, guys. We had a huge nerf in Season 5, where damage was divided by 5. But there’s a new setup that hits for billions upon billions with direct damage. No bleeding, even more than [before Season 5] I think.

Rob

The unexpected buff is due to some of the new unique items from Season 5:

  • The sword “Splitter Verathiels” increases the damage of base skills by 100-300%, but adds a resource cost of 25 of your primary resource.
  • The helm “Crown of Lucion” reduces resource costs by 75%. Whenever you spend resources, your damage increases by 5-25%, but the resource costs also increase by 25% up to 5 times.
  • The amulet “Locrans Talisman” increases critical hit chance per available primary resource by 0.1-0.5% and each resource point over 100 gives additional critical hit damage.

Together with the Uber Unique ring of the starless heavens, which further reduces your resource costs, you still have a net gain of fury and can “bash” endlessly with increasing damage.

After Season 5, the first expansion of Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred is already coming:

Start video
Trailer for Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred provides insight into the story of the expansion

“Every build with base attacks will get stronger”

Wudijo calculates a bit more precisely how this combination can be so strong despite some cuts. Although you miss the famous Shako, the new crown provides an enormous damage boost. In the end, he arrives at about 150% of the damage you could achieve with the ideal build before Season 5 (via YouTube).

According to Wudijo, the Bash Barbarian is not even the build that benefits the most from this. The Rend build will be significantly stronger, and other classes will benefit even more from the combination of the new items.

von Nicole Wakulczyk

The expert explains that Druids or Sorceresses using base spells and at least the Splitter Verathiels will cause much more damage. Fireball, for example, is a skill that is predestined for this:

Many other builds will also use the Splitter Verathiels. There will be many base skill builds that suddenly become much stronger because they are not affected by the Bash nerf. […] Heartseeker Hunters, Stormclaw Druids, Fireball Sorceresses – basically anyone using a build with base attacks will become stronger and even stronger than the Bash Barb.

Wudijo

At the moment, Season 5 is still in the testing phase and Blizzard will likely implement a lot of feedback by the release in August. Whether it will remain a buff and how much the other classes will benefit remains to be seen. Currently, it does not seem that all classes can keep up with Barbarians: Blizzard buffs all classes in Diablo 4 with Season 5, but one will become even weaker: “40% less damage”

One of the largest German MMORPGs on Steam is getting a huge update soon, aiming to make the entry much easier

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

The German MMORPG Albion Online is doing really well. Now further details for the next major update have been presented. This is mainly intended to make the entry easier. The update “Paths to Glory” is set to be released in July 2024.

Albion Online is undoubtedly one of the best-known MMORPGs from Germany, alongside Tibia. Recently, the game has broken multiple player records on Steam and is more popular than it has been in a long time. Just recently, Albion Online launched its first servers in the EU.

With Paths to Glory, which will be released in July for the MMORPG, a lot is set to change in the MMORPG. Many things are intended to become easier and more accessible.

When will “Paths to Glory” be released? The developers have stated that the update is expected to be released after the end of Season 23 in July 2024. More details are not yet known.

Start video
Albion Online – Coming to Europe Trailer

Paths to Glory aims to improve the entry experience

The focus of the update is on structuring the so-called “Albion Journal.” This will be a comprehensive improvement primarily aimed at new players. The “Albion Journal” in Albion Online will contain a list of challenges and associated rewards so you know where to go and what to do. Colleagues from PCGamesn.com report on this.

The journal is primarily intended to serve as a guide for new players just starting the game. This should particularly simplify the starting experience for many newcomers. This is because Albion Online suffers, like many games, from the fact that it becomes more difficult for newcomers as more new features are introduced into the game.

But beyond improvements for newcomers, there are updates that the community has particularly requested:

  • Guilds will be able to own more than one island. Each island is supposed to have its own appearance.
  • Weapons will soon be able to be charged twice.
  • All spells will also be available for weapons of level four and above, offering players much more options when they engage in combat.
  • The roads of Avalon are intended to be less frustrating after the update, and there will be more enemies to reduce downtime in the game.
  • The spawn rates in the game will be dynamically adjusted based on the activity level on the respective server: The busier a server is, the more treasures, resources, and mobs will spawn.

In the official DevTalk, the developers from Sandbox Interactive stated that they will present more details about the update in the coming days. So you can be excited to see what else will be shown.

Diablo 3: Everything about Season 32 – Start, Season Theme and Journey

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

In a few days, Season 32 in Diablo 3 will start, and in line with that, there is a well-known season theme and rewards. We show you all the details in the overview.

When does Season 32 start? On July 12 at 5:00 PM, Season 32 begins in Diablo 3. The season theme is “Ethereal Memory” and brings back ethereal items.

What else is changing and what is new can be read directly with us at MeinMMO.

Overview of Season 32

This is the season theme: In the season “Ethereal Memory”, ethereal items from Season 24 return to Sanctuary. These are weapons that offer particularly strong abilities and affixes. This includes a random legendary property for class weapons and a random passive class skill. You can find all the details in the following list:

  • Ethereal items are account-bound and can only be obtained from monsters, from chests, and from destructible objects. However, you do not need to be level 70 to find them. Ethereal items cannot be obtained from Kanai’s Cube or Kadala.
  • The drop rate of ethereal items is positioned between ancient and archaic items.
  • There are three unique ethereal items per class. Each ethereal item has fixed affixes and a random legendary weapon property and a random passive class skill.
  • Only one ethereal item can be equipped at a time.
  • Ethereal items do not lose durability.
  • Legendary properties and passive class skills of ethereal items cannot be stacked with the same power stemming from Kanai’s Cube or from items and skills.
  • Ethereal items cannot be enchanted, transmogged, dyed, re-forged, or traded.
  • Ethereal items can be enhanced.
  • If you collect all 21 ethereal items during the season, you will receive the achievement “Ethereal Memory” as a reward. Players who complete this achievement can use all ethereal transmog options with their seasonal and non-seasonal heroes in the future.
  • Ethereal items can only drop during a seasonal game and cannot be transferred to non-seasonal characters after the season ends.

Cosmetic rewards: In Season 32, rewards return that you could originally obtain in Season 8. In addition, there are two new cosmetic rewards for those who complete the entire season journey that did not previously exist in Diablo. This includes the portrait frame “Warrior of Teganze” and a new bat companion.

Starter sets: As you know from the seasons in Diablo 3, you earn Haedrig’s gifts by completing chapters 2, 3, and 4. If you open them all with the same character, you will receive a complete set. The set you can earn with the classes changes in each season.

This time there is the following selection:

  • Barbarian: Call of the Immortal King
  • Crusader: Seeker of Light

One of the nicest people on Twitch is asked if DrDisrespect is coming back – the answer is brutal

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The streamer Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek (30) is regarded as one of the best first-person shooter players in the world, but also as a calm and relatable voice of reason on Twitch. In a stream, he comments on whether he believes that DrDisrespect will return after his scandal: The 42-year-old is accused of sending sexual messages to a minor in 2017.

This is the situation:

  • Shroud and DrDisrespect share mutual respect. After all, both have been leading shooter streamers on Twitch for many years, often playing the same games and appealing to the same audience.
  • The two competed and bantered with each other around 2019 in Battlefield 5, but in a friendly tone: DrDisrespect once made fun of Shroud for having an accident with his scooter – for the “tough” Dr, a scooter is not a means of transport that can be taken seriously.
  • Now DrDisrespect has been accused of having sent sexual messages to a minor in 2017. As a result, friends and partners have distanced themselves from him. Even his own game studio has kicked him out.

Shroud is asked in a stream where he plays Elden Ring if DrDisrespect will return.

For a long time, DrDisrespect’s ban was a mystery: Just a few days ago, the uncomfortable truth came to light:

Start video
DrDisrespect was a celebrity on Twitch – His ban remains a big mystery to this day

“We don’t know the context, we don’t know how far it went – it doesn’t matter”

This is what Shroud says: From Shroud’s reaction, it is clear that he has little sympathy for the streamer.

Worse than what DrDisrespect has done now would have been if he hadn’t commented on the issue at all and allowed all those people to continue to “blindly support” him.

Shroud explicitly appreciates that DrDisrespect has clarified the situation and shed light on the darkness.

But Shroud is also brutally honest – he does not accept DrDisrespect’s relativizations that nothing criminal occurred:

“We don’t know the context, we don’t know how far it went – but that doesn’t really matter. What matters: He admitted it. That was the right decision. Now we will see if he comes back.”

“He is too old – Damn 40 or 42 years old”

Does Shroud believe that DrDisrespect will return? No. Shroud says that DrDisrespect is “old, damn 40 or 42 years old” – that just doesn’t work anymore. Even if he disappeared for 4 years now, the internet would not forget. The streamer must realize this himself.

Shroud believes that DrDisrespect will realize that a return as a content creator is futile, say “screw it” and do something else.

“He is out of our scene,” judges one of the nicest guys on Twitch.

Even a business decision might be something DrDisrespect regrets by now: It had long been talked about him moving to Kick and getting an exclusive contract there, which he never received on YouTube. Allegedly, he was even offered 10 million $ a year, but DrDisrespect had a much higher number in mind: The banned streamer from Twitch brazenly demanded 50 million $ for a move to Kick, but they apparently do not want to pay

„The break did not last long” – Anni The Duck is back on Twitch, the community is shocked

jacquelinek jacquelinek Reading time 3 minutes

Unexpectedly, on the evening of June 28th, a stream by Anni The Duck took place on Twitch. Prior to that, she had responded via Instagram and later announced that she wanted to answer questions during the stream. However, the stream was not well received by the users.

How did the stream come about? Last night (June 28, 2024), a stream by Anni The Duck took place on her Twitch channel. Before that, she had responded via Instagram Story with a picture and later followed up with another announcement that she wanted to answer questions during the stream.

In no time, she reached a viewer count of over 11,000 viewers (via Sullygnome).

Anni The Duck had previously taken a break due to serious allegations:

I have never mistreated my cats

What was the stream about? Right at the beginning, the streamer describes that her reason for streaming again is that she feels like she wants to do something again. For this reason, she went live that evening for a one-time session to answer questions.

In terms of content, she addressed some of the allegations made against her.

As a clip on Twitch shows, she speaks again about the situation of her cats after several affected parties stated that she does not treat her cats well. She confirms that one of her cats ran away, which had been suspected in a post on X. She also says she treats her cats well but is aware that her previous video was not okay.

Anni The Duck wants to leave Madeira

She further reports that she currently does not plan to attend events because she has received many hate messages, as another clip on Twitch shows. She also mentioned that since then, she has not left the house and is moving back to Germany. When asked by her chat why she is putting her cats through the stress again, she replies that she has no other choice because everyone would hate her in Madeira and she has no one there anymore.

Anni The Duck also addresses the accusation that she is a narcissist. A clip on Twitch shows that she denies having received this diagnosis but acknowledges that it may be suggested she could be autistic and is currently clarifying this. Furthermore, she reports that she goes to therapy twice a week to work on herself. When asked if she has tried to speak with the affected parties again, she denies it.

Later, however, she changes the topic and talks a lot with her community about the current European Football Championship.

How was the stream received by users? Aside from her community, which seemed to be pleased about the comeback, the reactions were anything but positive. On every social media platform, posts can be found about the stream by the streamer. Users like bkhd_ express their outrage on X mainly over the fact that her community seems to be so positively inclined towards her and that she received over 700 subscriptions during a single stream.

Other influencers like AlphaKevin express their shock on X that the streamer is back on Twitch and that many viewers seem to have forgotten the allegations against her. Another point he raises is that her previously announced break on X did not seem to last long.

Anni The Duck was confronted with many allegations in May regarding the mistreatment of her friends and animals. This was triggered by her former best friend Mowky. You can read about the allegations here: In a documentary, they were best friends –  3 months later, Mowky reveals how terrible Anni The Duck really is

“I was too old for this”: Brad Pitt rejected the lead role in a Martin Scorsese film that later won 4 Oscars

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Brad Pitt was offered the leading role in the famous film “The Departed” alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. But he declined because he felt too old.

In 2003, Brad Pitt, along with Warner Bros and producer Brad Grey, acquired the rights for the American remake of the Asian film “Infernal Affairs.” At that time, it was considered a highly acclaimed Chinese gangster film that American cinema wanted to adapt as a remake.

The film premiered as “The Departed” in theaters on December 6 (USA) and December 7, 2006 (Germany). The story of “The Departed” is set in South Boston, where the state police have been fighting organized crime for years. Billy Costigan, played by DiCaprio, is a young police officer who grew up around crime and is tasked with infiltrating the mafia and identifying the boss.

Brad Pitt felt too old for the leading role

Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio were supposed to play the lead roles in the film, but Pitt was uncomfortable with the fact that he would be ten years older than Leonardo DiCaprio. In an interview with “Interview” magazine, Brad Pitt later explained that he felt too old for the film. He stated (via sensacine.com):

I developed it for two and a half years. We fought for the film and then got William Monahan to write the screenplay. When Scorsese came into the picture, I thought it would be better if younger people were involved, people just starting their lives, people coming from academia, people who are hungry. I thought he was too old for it.

Eventually, the actor relinquished the leading role to Matt Damon while remaining as a producer of the film. And this decision paid off for the film.

Experts believe: Generation Z is doing poorly because they spent a lot of money at the wrong time

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

During the Corona pandemic, many young people were locked up and bought their quality of life with credit. And this is now negatively affecting their situation, according to experts.

Generation Z is the generation facing the highest prices for basic necessities, the highest housing costs, and the most debt compared to other groups. And the negative consequences are expected to have a much stronger impact than the global financial crisis of the late 2000s.

Because Gen Z is said to have bought a quality of life that is now really becoming expensive for them. This is mainly due to rising interest rates and ongoing inflation.

Gen Z took advantage of low interest rates during Corona and is now being caught up by inflation

What is the cause of the problems? Economists point out, for instance, our Spanish colleagues from 3djuegos.com, that the key to all problems is said to be the Corona pandemic:

Many young people were locked up at home during this time and were significantly restricted in their personal development by the pandemic. Consequently, many young people began to spend and invest a lot of money because banks lowered interest rates and made it easier to take out loans. And this is now having negative effects.

According to Jimmie Lenz, a professor of finance at Duke University, many negative developments are now emerging because Generation Z “will grow up in a time of rising inflation and rising interest rates, and that will affect them.”

What is the problem? The high quality of life that many have bought with very cheap loans is now becoming a problem because interest rates have been rising sharply for months. And the numbers don’t lie. Looking at the U.S., when one examines the financial situation of young people there, one sees that one in seven from Generation Z has overdrafted their credit card, and 31% spend more on their rent. And the current situation only continues to drive up rents and living costs.

The quality of life that was bought years ago with cheap loans is now becoming very expensive. And there is no end in sight to the rising prices.

Same name, same genre: TemTem accidentally takes on League of Legends, takes it with humor

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 2 minutes

MeinMMO has already reported on the new game mode Swarm of League of Legends. But did you know that a variant with the same name and for the same genre is set to be released for TemTem in the third quarter of 2024?

What is planned for TemTem? TemTem: Swarm is set to release on Steam in the third quarter of 2024 and will transfer the strategy-based combat mechanics of TemTem into a kind of Vampire Survivors with an optional co-op mode.

Up to three friends will face the swarms of the Tems and dangerous bosses. You will gain experience points, level up, and gradually become stronger. And if one of the co-op players dies, they can support the others from ghost mode.

Here is the trailer for TemTem – Swarm:

Start video

And what is League of Legends: Swarm again? Well, this is a new PvE game mode for the popular MOBA from Riot Games, scheduled for release on July 17, 2024. Here you fight with up to four friends against hordes of monsters and … you guessed it … dangerous bosses.

Yep, here too, Steam hits like Vampire Survivors or Brotato are role models. Only that the challenges are located in the Runeterra universe and the champions and visual design are inspired by the Anima Squad skin series.

Here only humor helps

How are the developers of TemTem reacting? On their official channel on X, the developers posted a message saying “We are fine, we are fine, we are doing totally fine …” You just have to repeat it often enough to believe it.

In the accompanying video, they also comment that they are now among the people in the world who have just announced a survivor game that has the same name as the freshly announced survivor game from one of the biggest companies in the gaming industry that can rely on millions of fans.

Last but not least, the devs point out the possibility to add TemTem: Swarm to your wishlist on Steam.

What was TemTem again? That was an MMO in the style of Pokémon that caused quite a stir in 2022, but has not been provided with new content since the beginning of 2024. Accordingly, the user reviews have dropped. While the overall rating is still “Very Positive”, the reviews from the past month are only “Mixed”.

A player changes a simple setting of his graphics card in Diablo 4 and never wants to go back again

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

A modified setting in Diablo 4 makes the game look significantly more stylish and realistic. A player introduces the trick and is thrilled by it. This trick is available to anyone who has a reasonably current Nvidia graphics card.

A player posted a video on Reddit where he shows how to open the GeForce Experience overlay and change a setting, with surprisingly significant consequences:

Whereas the game previously looked quite gray and lifeless, Diablo 4 now offers much richer colors and bolder effects after the adjustment. The player explains that he cannot go back to the old setting.

Diablo 4 will already receive better graphics natively in early 2024:

Start video
Diablo 4 with better graphics: This is what the ARPG looks like with ray tracing

Nvidia filters make the game look significantly better for free

What is behind this feature? The setting is based on a function called “NVIDIA Freestyle Filters”. This is an option that Nvidia has integrated into its GeForce Experience software and its overlay.

With this, you can apply various filters over your games directly while playing: You can adjust color and saturation in the game without using the game settings themselves. You can find a list of supported games directly at Nvidia in an official list. However, be careful: The list is quite comprehensive.

Additionally, it’s practical: While some features, such as Frame Generation, are limited to the new 4000 series graphics cards, the “NVIDIA Freestyle Filters” can also be used by older Nvidia GPUs, like the popular GTX 1000 series.

This is what the change looks like for the user:

Is there also a disadvantage? Yes, because “NVIDIA Freestyle” does not work with competitor graphics cards, which is not really surprising. There are also options for sharpening graphics or custom color adjustments in AMD’s Adrenalin software, but the options from Nvidia are definitely more extensive.
