Yinlin is an upcoming playable character in Wuthering Waves. Here we have gathered all the important information about the release date, her banner, and her ascension materials.
Who is Yinlin? She is a 5-star character and an Electro user who fights with a rectifier. She will be available in the game during Version 1.0.
You can read here when exactly you can expect her, which 4-star characters will accompany her on the banner, and what materials you will likely need for her ascension.

All Information about Yinlin’s Banner
Note: We updated the information on Yinlin’s banner on June 4, 2024, after Kuro Games announced to bring the release forward.
When will Yinlin be released? She will be available in the game from June 6, 2024, at 10:00 AM (server time) through the Featured Resonator Summon. You can pull for her until June 28, 2024, at 11:59 PM.
Initially, the banner featuring Yinlin was supposed to be available starting June 13, 2024, and run until the end of Version 1.0. However, since the new version is now being released earlier by Kuro Games, they have decided to start the banner earlier as well. It will still run until the end of Version 1.0 on June 28, 2024.
Just like in Genshin Impact, the number of pulls you have already made on Jiyan’s banner will carry over to the upcoming Yinlin banner. So if you, for example, lost the 50/50 on Jiyan, you are guaranteed to get Yinlin within the next 80 pulls.
Which characters are included in Yinlin’s banner? The following characters are available as 4-star characters with an increased drop rate:
What materials does Yinlin need? There is currently no official information on what materials Yinlin will need for ascension.
However, there is data from the closed beta that may still be valid after the release. So please do not consider the following information as certain; it may change before Yinlin’s release.
Referring to the closed beta, Yinlin might need the following materials for level ascension:
4x LF-Whisper Core
12x MF-Whisper Core
12x HF-Whisper Core
4x FF-Whisper Core
46x Group Abomination Tacet Core
60x Coriolus
170,000x Shell Credits
If the data from the closed beta is accurate, you might need the following materials to level up the skills:
25x LF-Whisper Core
28x MF-Whisper Core
40x HF-Whisper Core
57x FF-Whisper Core
25x Lento-Helix
28x Adagio-Helix
55x Andante-Helix
67x Presto-Helix
26x Unwarranted Feather
20,300,000 Shell Credits

Among all the NPCs from the Souls games, there is one that has particularly stayed in players’ memories. Not because he is particularly nice, on the contrary: This character has always generated a kind of love-hate relationship among fans.
Which character is it? Have you ever played a spin-off of the Soulsborne series from FromSoftware? If so, you probably encountered an unassuming, bald guy during your wanderings through the dark worlds.
Fans of the games, of course, know who is being talked about. Patches. Yes, Patches. For some reason, this NPC can be found in all Soulsborne games since Demon’s Souls. He even appears in Armored Core: For Answer from 2008, also developed by FromSoftware.
Little is known about the character itself. He seems to exist across different universes. Patches is often found in remote corners of the game world, where he likes to ask your character questions. If you give, as in Dark Souls 1, the wrong answer, Patches will attack you. If you answer correctly, he remains peaceful. At least for a while. Because Patches is mainly known for one thing: his nasty, sneaky nature.
Elden Ring shows the DLC ‘Shadow of the Erdtree’ in the story trailer
Beware of deep abysses!
Why is Patches mean? In both Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls, Patches lures you to an abyss and gives you a precise kick into the void. In Dark Souls 1, this happens in the pitch-black tomb of giants. You fall into darkness and find yourself in a pit full of strong enemies.
If you survive and return to Patches, he apologizes and begs for his life. If you spare him, he becomes a merchant.
In Bloodborne, Patches appears as a creepy spider, but thanks to his bald head and stupid expression, he remains unmistakable. Here too, he kicks you into the abyss.
He similarly lures you into nasty traps in Dark Souls 3 and also in Elden Ring. Whether he will make another appearance in the upcoming DLC “Shadow of the Erdtree” is still unclear – but it would be believable of the developers.
What do the fans think? Over the years, players have developed a true love-hate relationship with Patches. Sure, he annoys you and causes a nasty death for careless players. Still, some seem to fall for his charm and even accept his apology. Even though he uses the same trick repeatedly.
On Reddit, the user Sea-Craft-4791 posted a montage showing all appearances of Patches in the games. Among them a meme that says: “I hate you in every universe”.

The comments under the post are divided on whether to hate or love the NPC:
“Damn Patches. I need to know what happened to him, and I hope he appears in the DLC (of Elden Ring),” writes Mesterjojo.
“As much of an asshole as he is, I just can’t hate that bald bastard,” comments Covid669.
User AFlyingNun adds: “I love him in every universe.”
VeryBottist puts it even more precisely: “I love to hate you in every universe.”
“I’ve forgiven him more times than I would most people,” admits Careless-Emphasis-80.
No matter how divided the players are, FromSoftware has definitely managed to create a memorable character. It doesn’t always take a complex backstory to captivate players, as in Elden Ring, just confuse them. Sometimes, a good dose of sneakiness is enough.
Much happened at 7 vs. Wild over the weekend. First, there was the official announcement for the 4th season from the show’s founder. Shortly after, there were already initial fan theories based on details in the video. Now even Meinecke is commenting on it.
What do the theories refer to? On May 31, the 7 vs. Wild channel released a video in which the founder of the show, Fritz Meinecke, announced the new season of the survival YouTube show. In the announcement, Meinecke mentioned new game modes for the series, which he later defined more precisely as conditions.
The video announcement for the new season has already garnered almost 1 million views in less than a week and has sparked many new theories about the show’s concept. According to the announcement video on YouTube, this season is supposed to be “by far the toughest there ever was.”
One of the participants from the 3rd season of 7 vs. Wild was Jens “Knossi” Knossalla, you can learn more about him here:

From the Witness Stand with Barbara Salesch to the King of Twitch – Career and Life of Knossi
Wild Theories from Fans: Pac-Man and Meinecke are the same person
What wild theories do the fans have? The fans of 7 vs. Wild have analyzed the announcement video down to the last detail to gather new clues about the 4th season.
At the beginning of the announcement video, there are a few shots of the forest. Visible is a fly agaric mushroom with a corner cut out, a military patch with the remains of a monkey, and Meinecke hitting birch wood 8 times.
For the fans, this is enough to come up with the following theory: The fly agaric is missing a corner just like Pac-Man, so Fritz Meinecke could be Pac-Man, hunting the 7 contestants as the 8th candidate. That would match the 8 hits on the wood. Whoever is found is history, and the patch could stand for that.
The whole concept could thus remind one of the survival show Manhunt, which has already had hints in the past. In particular, the YouTube veteran Commander Krieger had stated in a stream (via YouTube) that the missing participants would be shooting a new season of the series.
Is there something to the theories? In a video by YouTuber nykesname, he presents the theory. Apparently, Fritz Meinecke has also seen the video and the Pac-Man theory. In the comments to the video, he said: “Hahaha what? The Pac-Man theory is extremely wild. Did you snack on the fly agaric?”
There likely isn’t anything to the theory. The announcement of the 4th season already mentioned that there won’t be any further updates on the survival show for a while, as there is still work being done behind the scenes. We have already reported on the possible participants and the potential secret filming of the show: 7 influencers are currently missing and fans believe this is due to the new season of 7 vs. Wild

Squad Busters has recently been released. We have put together some tips for you that are meant to help you.
What kind of game is this? Squad Busters is a game by Supercell, who are known for Clash of Clans among other titles. The game celebrated its release on May 29, 2024.
If you are already busy playing, there are some points you should consider to ensure that the enjoyment of the game does not turn into frustration. We have put together some useful tips and tricks for you.
Start video
Squad Busters presents itself in the colorful launch trailer
Diversify your squad
In Squad Busters, there are different roles with various units that can make up your squad. A balanced and thought-out mix is key to assembling a strong squad.
Currently, there are the following roles:
All-rounder
Attacker
Defensive
Healer
Speedster
Supplier
When assembling your team, it should not consist only of units from one role. Make sure you have defenders who can draw the damage from the enemy troops while your attackers deal damage to the opponent.
You should also rely on healers and speedsters to make your squad more balanced. Suppliers can round out your squad to better respond to specific situations or ensure a better supply of resources.
If you collect a unit three times, you automatically trigger the fusion with them. This gives you a stronger unit of the same type.
You should prioritize this from the start. The fused units are significantly better than the regular variant of the units.
This can give you a huge advantage, especially at the beginning of a game when your attackers, for example, deal much more damage than they would without fusion.
Don’t underestimate the Suppliers
Don’t underestimate the units from the Supplier role. If you have Greg in your squad, for instance, you gain the ability to chop down trees. By doing so, you can collect additional jewels and coins.
If you recruit the Goblin into your team, you gain additional coins, allowing you to build your squad faster.
In Squad Busters, you have the option to sprint. While it may be tempting to use this ability to move faster, you should rather use it as a defensive tool.
With a well-timed sprint, you can distance yourself from approaching enemy troops and evade their attacks. This way, you can preserve your units’ health and counter-attack when the timing is better.
Keep the goal in mind
The goal of the game is to collect the most jewels. Fighting against enemy squads is therefore secondary to achieving this goal.
You should focus on building your own squad and collecting jewels, rather than charging wildly at the enemy squads. This should only be a means to achieve your goal.
Did you take away any tips that you didn’t know before? Or do you have other tips that one should definitely know? Feel free to let us know in the comments. You might also be interested in what codes are currently available for Squad Busters.

Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris is one of the biggest streamers on the German Twitch. As such, he has to be careful about what he says, the 36-year-old believes.
The Twitch streamer MontanaBlack is actually not known for holding back his opinions. For example, when it comes to:
In a joint stream with his colleague AbuGoku, MontanaBlack explained on June 2, 2024, on Twitch that he would “like to express [his] honest opinion” on some topics.

MontanaBlack fears being canceled
Why does MontanaBlack keep his opinions to himself? The Twitch streamer fears possible reactions on social media. On “Twitter” [now X], “all the leftists- uh, left idiots” might unite to cancel him.
However, the Twitch streamer adds that it doesn’t necessarily have to be “the leftists” who could come up against him – but perhaps also the “Green voters”.
What consequences does the streamer fear? MontanaBlack seems to worry that business partners might end their collaboration with him due to possible public pressure. He cites the grocery retailer Rewe as an example, which could remove his energy drink from their program.
All of this just because he once honestly expressed his opinion on the internet, according to MontanaBlack. You can see the corresponding stream clip here:

However, it’s not just about himself for MontanaBlack: he is no longer a small streamer and has a responsibility to many people. Employees, as well as business partners, are financially dependent on him.
The Twitch streamer finds it “very unfortunate” that he sometimes cannot say “a little more”.
More background on the discussion about freedom of speech: The sentiment of not being able to speak freely is often expressed in discussions about freedom of speech. In fact, the felt freedom of speech was at its lowest in December 2023 since the 1950s according to a study (via Zeit). The right to free speech is enshrined in the German constitution.

GamePro, GameStar and MeinMMO shine in rainbow colors. We explain here why this is the case and what the PRIDE Month means to us.
Hate, intolerance, and violence have no place on our websites, in our lives, or in society. These are principles that we uphold and advocate for all year round.
The PRIDE Month has a very special significance for us, which is why we once again want to not only color our logos this year but also talk again about the importance of PRIDE values for us and our communities – and what we do to stand up for them. Not just in June, but at any time.
Why June is Pride Month On June 28, 2024, we will commemorate the Stonewall Riots for the 55th time. Sparked by Marsha P. Johnson, this date is considered the international kickoff of the civil rights LGBTQAI+ movement, which fights for equal rights worldwide and annually reminds us of the continuous pursuit of equality for all – regardless of skin color, ethnicity, origin, national origin, social class, political opinion, religion, sexuality, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental abilities, marital status, or any other legally protected constellations. You can learn more about Pride Month here.
In a study conducted this year by the charitable organization The Trevor Project, which advocates for mental health and suicide prevention for LGBTQAI+ youth, 90 % of over 18,000 surveyed young people stated that their mental health was negatively affected by the current political situation. 39 % said they had seriously considered taking their own lives.
Not only for these reasons do we at Webedia Gaming want to emphasize again that we reject not only discrimination and racism in all forms but also the active or passive exclusion or disadvantage of fellow human beings.
By raising the rainbow flag on our sites, we not only show solidarity and part of the PRIDE movement, but we also clearly state that values such as tolerance, acceptance, and inclusion are not up for discussion for us. We do not demonstrate tolerance towards intolerance. Hate speech has no place with us. It has never been different, and it will never change, and those who do not see it that way are not welcome at Webedia Germany or on our platforms.
The PRIDE flag As in previous years, we will also use the so-called Progress Pride Flag in 2024. It was designed in 2018 by Daniel Quasar to be even more inclusive than the previous rainbow flag and to better represent the diversity of the movement and our society. In addition to the traditional rainbow colors, it includes stripes in brown and black as well as in white, pink, and light blue. The latter symbolize the trans and non-binary community, while the former represent people of color. The black stripe also represents all those who suffer from HIV/AIDS and the stigma of the disease or have lost their lives because of it.
How we strive for more tolerance every day
Coloring our logos in rainbow colors or making a statement with articles like this is just one part of what we do to advocate for more tolerance.
On our websites, we also continuously bring content on topics such as diversity, accessibility, and mental health – both within themed weeks and in our daily reporting on video games, tech, and hardware, and of course those who create and enjoy them.
With disclaimers about controversial individuals, incidents, or companies, we also try to provide context in addition to dedicated news, columns, reports, podcasts, or streams on these issues. It is particularly important to us not only to inform those specifically seeking out this content but also to sustainably and long-term reach those who may be visiting one of our sites for the first time and had no previous contact with it.
But behind the scenes, many people are also working hard to make our websites, channels, and platforms a better and more welcoming place for all gamers.
The often exhausting work of our community management and our social media managers, as well as moderators, is often invisible from the outside, but that is precisely why it is so important and noteworthy. Many of the things they deal with daily, most of you never get to see.
Without them, it would not be possible to offer things like a forum or comment sections to discuss our favorite games or the most exciting news in the gaming world. Their tireless and hard work to make our communities a better place plays an essential role in our efforts to advocate for more tolerance and acceptance in gaming.
Another aspect that is equally important to us is what happens behind the scenes at Webedia itself. Here too, we are continuously working on our values and on creating an even better, more inclusive work environment for all employees.
Whether through special (mental) health offerings, workshops, and working groups, or a diversity committee specifically addressing issues related to diversity and inclusion within Webedia. Not everything we do is intended for the public or our readers, but that does not make these things any less important.
A thank you to our communities
Last but not least, we also want to take this opportunity to say thank you. Thank you for standing with us against racism, intolerance, and hate. You have often proven this in the comments in the past, and you can be as proud of it as we are! Keep it up and do not let yourself be deterred by individual troublemakers.
Of course, not everything runs smoothly for us either, and there will always be comments that you and we do not want to read on GamePro, GameStar, GameStar Tech, and MeinMMO or on our social media platforms or YouTube. We will address this together with our community management and our team of moderators, but we also rely on your support.
Because fighting against racism, hate, and verbal violence and striving for a better world can only work in one way: together.

Squad Busters has been released as a new mobile game. What are the codes for?
This is Squad Busters: Squad Busters is a new mobile game where you traverse a map with a “squad” of various characters with different abilities. Your goal is to collect as many jewels as possible. To do this, you must defeat computer-controlled monsters, open chests, chop down trees, and withstand real opponents who share the same goal as you.
This squad will grow larger as the game progresses – but so will your opponent’s. Accordingly, the battle for the jewels becomes more intense. Skillful action is required: When do you engage in direct confrontation, and when do you withdraw? Which characters are the right ones, which do you add to the squad, and which do you leave out?
Here you can see the game in the trailer:

If you explore the game, you will also come across the shop. There you can “enter codes”. But what are they good for?
Squad Busters Codes – What is it and what is it good for?
What kind of codes are these? The codes you can currently enter in the Squad Busters shop are creator codes.
This is what the input mask looks like
This is familiar from other games: Various content creators have their own code. If their fans enter this in the game, the creators are supported when these fans buy something in the game’s shop.
Does a player benefit from this? Currently, there are no bonuses for players who enter a creator code. Instead, you are supporting someone who has shared their creator code.
Where do you get codes? Various creators usually share their codes in their videos on the topic. So check if your favorite creators have such codes.
Are there any other promo codes? Typical promo codes, like those from other mobile games such as Pokémon GO, where there are codes for items and similar things, are not currently available in Squad Busters. It remains to be seen if this will change in the future.

In Destiny 2, the final expansion of the Light and Darkness saga “The Final Shape” launches today, but what would a release be without severe bugs that cost you progress? We will show you what you need to pay attention to at launch.
What has Bungie announced? Before the release of “The Final Shape”, Bungie listed important information and known bugs on their site (via bungie.net) that you should be aware of before the launch.
One of the pieces of information particularly concerns the progress you can achieve with your Guardian upon the release of the DLC, as this may not be saved if you are playing in a fireteam with other Guardians.
Did you miss the trailer for Destiny 2: The Final Shape? Then we have just the right video for you:
Start video
Destiny 2 shows the launch trailer for The Final Shape
There is no release at Bungie without bugs
How can I prevent the error? It is important, if you are approaching the story with a character, that you stay with that character. Additionally, you should not join any fireteam in between to help them with missions.
If you have found a fireteam, you should stick with them and go through the story with one character. Otherwise, your progress in the story might not be saved, and you may have to replay certain parts or possibly even everything.
This would be particularly devastating if you want to participate in the newest raid of “The Final Shape” promptly and want to obtain the necessary light level for Day One through the heroic quest.
What other important bugs are there? In fact, there are only minor issues that players might find annoying. These include:
PC players who have 3D audio enabled cannot hear any sound
The pop-up “Leaving for the final shape” has the wrong key art
When prism hunters activate their new ultimate while grappling, they fall
The hunter aspect that increases your blades of fire ultimates does not work
The description of the arc staff ultimate for hunters does not mention a blind effect after a three-combo or slam attack
How will you start “The Final Shape”? Have you already gathered a fireteam of clanmates or friends, or will you defeat the Witness as a lone wolf? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments! If you are looking for something to pass the time in the meantime, we have just the right thing for you: Destiny 2: You can catch up on 10 years of lore during the server downtime – with a single video

Not every monster in Pokémon GO makes trainers scream with joy. The community is discussing which Pokémon can even ruin their day.
With several hundred Pokémon available in Pokémon GO, every trainer probably has one or another monster that they hold dear. Whether it’s for personal reasons or because they belong to the strongest attackers in Pokémon GO.
However, some trainers on Reddit show that it can be different. Here, there is a lively discussion about which Pokémon they don’t want to catch at all. And even less do they want to see when an egg is being hatched.
Start video
Heavenly teamwork in Pokémon GO – a new season begins
Waste of time
Which Pokémon are trainers unwilling to catch? The Pokémon that trainers do not catch mainly include the following Pokémon:
Yanma
Kapoera
Smogon
Sleima
Zubat
Why do trainers skip the catch? The reasons why trainers can’t stand these Pokémon and refrain from a catch are varied. One of the reasons that is often mentioned is the low probability of catching the Pokémon.
Some Pokémon, like Kapoera, have a very low catch probability. When combined with a high flee rate, this can be very frustrating for trainers.
While some Pokémon, such as Yanma, have a very small area that needs to be hit to catch, some other Pokémon move a lot. This can also lead trainers to decide against a catch. This is the case with Zubat, for example.
Also, the fact that a Pokémon has been very common in the game lately can create aversion among trainers.
Furthermore, trainers forgo catching Pokémon that are simply not very strong or do not have evolutions.
Some of the voices from the community on the topic are:
Yanma: this Pokémon is so hard to catch, says the author of the post on Reddit
Kapoera, this little jerk is more trouble than it’s worth, writes a trainer on Reddit
Right now I see so many Smogon, Sleima, and Zubat… all Pokémon I already didn’t like before, but now I hate them even more, why are they everywhere for MONTHS. There are more than 5 Kanto Pokémon Niantic, I promise, reads another comment on Reddit
Which Pokémon do trainers not want to find in eggs? It can also be very frustrating to hatch an egg after many kilometers, only to receive a Pokémon that offers no advantage to the trainers or has been hatched very frequently already.
There are also some examples from the community of Pokémon that they would rather not hatch from eggs:
Alolan Meowth, because it hatches from a 7km egg in 99% of cases and its smug aura mocks me, writes a trainer on Reddit
I feel like every time an egg hatches, it’s either Snorlax or Togepi. I’m so tired of seeing them, says another trainer on Reddit
Imagine walking 5 km just to get a damn Pamo, that ruins my day, writes another trainer on Reddit
Not to mention that Snorlax is in 99% of hatched eggs. Waste of time, says a trainer on Reddit
What do you think about this topic? Which Pokémon ruin your day when you receive them from eggs? And which Pokémon do you not catch in the wild at all? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. By the way, there’s a lot happening in Pokémon GO this week. Don’t miss the 7 most important dates of the week in Pokémon GO.

Call of Duty and Bandai Namco have teamed up to bring the legendary battle mechs from Gundam into the game. However, opinions on the new skins are divided.
What is about to be released? Players of Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 can soon join the battle with new skins. These are being released in collaboration with Bandai Namco and allow you to enter battle in the suits of the legendary battle mechs from the Gundam franchise.
There will be three bundles, each featuring a cult mech, along with blueprints, weapon charms, stickers, and other goodies.
Starting with MS-06S Zaku II, followed by RX-78-2, and lastly a modern interpretation of the classic XXV-016.
The first bundle is already available. You can take a look at how the skins look in the game in the following trailer:

Call of Duty x Gundam: Trailer presents the new skins
What are the reactions? The reactions to the skins are actually quite varied when looking at the comments under the trailers (via YouTube). While many users feel that the crossover is not successful, others seem to be very excited about it.
Among the comments, there are even some players who say they would return to the game just for these skins or are even considering starting with Call of Duty for the first time. For example, one user writes in their comment: “It looks so good, even though it’s CoD. If I could play in Gundam suits in third-person, I would actually play CoD.”
However, other players seem to disagree with this opinion. “These are not Gundams, these are cosplayers running around with guns,” writes one user in their comment. Indeed, many players feel that the collaboration simply did not fit. The Gundams don’t fit well into the world of Call of Duty, which is why you see many users drawing comparisons to cosplayers.

In the latest blog post, Larian announced Patch 7 for Baldur’s Gate 3 and with it, official mod support. The developers promise more stability but immediately clarified: players on PS5 and Xbox will only get a portion of the mods.
Update from 15.04.2025: Today, Patch 8 goes live in Baldur’s Gate 3. Most mods will be prepared for Patch 8 only over the next few days and weeks. If you want to continue using your mods without complications, it’s best to stick with Patch 7 for now.
Unofficial modding is already possible. However, with the official support, it should be ensured that there are no conflicts between the mods so that you have a smooth gaming experience.
The update will be part of Patch 7, which will also bring more “evil” endings and is supposed to fix numerous bugs. The alpha for mods has already started, and a closed beta will come in July. The patch itself is set to release in September.
Here’s the catch: Larian states that with the official mod toolkit, comprehensive quest and level designs will not be possible – neither on PC nor on other platforms. There are simply technical restrictions.
Additionally, there are some limitations regarding the allowed content. There are simply some guidelines from the official “Dungeons & Dragons” license. The statement reads:
While some NSFW mods and certain script-intensive modifications will not be officially supported, modding from outside remains an option.
Note: NSFW stands for “Not Safe For Work” – this mostly concerns inappropriate mods.
If you play on PS5 and Xbox, you also only have access to a portion of the mods. Sony and Microsoft have stricter rules for content that may be published there. Therefore, additional checks are required.
This means: only curated mods will be offered on consoles. Console players themselves cannot create mods on their platform, but can only use those available on mod.io for their console.
Similar rules apply to PC – there is also scrutiny here. However, many of the guidelines can be circumvented through unofficial means. So almost anything is possible, just without the guarantee that it will run smoothly.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming to PS5 – Trailer prepares for console release
“It’s going to be a long summer”
The announcement of mod support is received extremely well by the community. This feature has been a desire since the release, and many players already have a clear idea of what they want to see. On most fans’ wishlists are mods for:
bigger party size
improved and expanded inventory or more carrying capacity (you seem to be real hoarders or don’t know our tips for a leaner inventory)
more character customization options
A big request is also for more spells and classes. Baldur’s Gate 3 currently offers 12 classes and 11 races and allows you to level up to level 12. However, Dungeons & Dragons has much more to offer in the official rulebook, and the “homebrew” section is vast. So there’s still plenty of room for growth here.
That Patch 7 is set to release only in September surprisingly bothers very few players. On Reddit, some users even say: the timing is perfect. This way, they have enough time to start and finish another playthrough in Patch 6.
A group of fraudsters defrauded Apple of around 11 million euros. The individuals deliberately exchanged genuine devices for copies.
Five individuals were arrested in California for stealing over 12 million dollars (approximately 11 million euros) from Apple by exchanging counterfeit iPhones for genuine ones. For almost 10 years, the fraudsters exchanged around 16,000 models.
They are now in court facing long prison sentences in multiple cases. This is reported by colleagues from Dexerto.
Fraudsters imitated genuine devices and deceived legitimate owners and Apple
What exactly did the fraudsters do? The group executed the plan from December 2014 to March 2024 and collaborated with groups in China that supplied the counterfeit devices. The counterfeit phones used stolen identification numbers to create the appearance of being legitimate Apple products sold in the USA and covered by the AppleCare warranty.
Particularly malicious: The counterfeit devices actually contained real identification and serial numbers that imitated the numbers of genuine owners in the USA. This not only defrauded Apple but also deprived legitimate owners of their warranty. Most were unaware that someone was trying to claim the warranty using their number.
A gamer shares pictures of his burnt gaming PC and wants to know why it caught fire. The “culprit” is supposedly quickly identified.
A burnt computer is initially a picture of horror. A gamer recently shared the image of a burnt gaming PC on reddit and wanted to know what he did wrong. Most components can still be seen quite well in the picture, especially the cables are quite burnt. Other users need to find a hidden error to be able to use their PC.
Who caused the fire in the PC? At first glance, many immediately notice the power supply, and many consider it to be the computer’s problem. This is because the model is from a completely unknown manufacturer and does not look very trustworthy otherwise.
And this power supply is likely the reason for the fire: A user from the community explains to him that he probably unknowingly overloaded his power supply and the power supply could not handle the overload. In cheap models, important fuses are often not present. And after the overload, the fire eventually broke out:
You short-circuited the power supply and no fail-safe kicked in. The amperage in the 12V rail kept rising until it got hot enough to catch fire.
However, many see the biggest problem in the purchase of the very cheap power supply. Because if he had invested in a high-quality and reputable product, he wouldn’t be complaining about a total loss now. Other gamers add:
“When saving on something, it should never be the power supply.”
“As we can only suspect: The cheap power supply that should have been called “Firestarter.””
“Of all the parts you buy when building a PC, you should NEVER buy a cheap power supply. That’s one of the most important rules in PC building. It was almost certainly the power supply that caused the fire.”

Don’t skimp on buying a power supply for your future gaming PC
Rather buy a high-quality power supply: A power supply without protection is the most dangerous component in a system. Without protection, the components of the power supply can fail and destroy the rest of the system. An example of how it can end is shown by the system of the gamer on reddit. It’s no wonder that many gamers say it is one of the most important rules in PC building to avoid cheap power supplies at all costs.
Every power supply should be equipped with three important protections:
Short circuit protection (SCP): Should prevent the power supply or other components from being damaged in the event of a short circuit.
Over power protection (OPP): If the power supply is heavily loaded, it should lead to the power supply shutting itself down. And this was likely missing in this case where the PC burnt down.
Over/Under current protection (U/OCP): This should protect the power supply and components from excessive voltage drops or spikes.
Generally, we would recommend choosing a well-known and reputable manufacturer when purchasing a power supply. Also, ensure that the power supply is not damaged and that all safety markings are present. If there is any doubt about an overload or a problem, then in the worst-case scenario, only your computer will shut down or only the power supply will be damaged.
At the start of the new season, Diablo 4 is currently 50% off and a player asks the community if it’s worth buying. In fact, many agree in the responses.
If players had asked a few months after the release of Diablo 4 whether buying it on sale was worthwhile, the responses would likely have been more negative. Although the new ARPG received a lot of praise at the beginning, players later said that there wasn’t enough to do. Especially in the endgame, there is a lack of relevant content.
The Diablo 4 community is quite demanding: criticism of the game means that one has no idea. If you enjoy the game, you’re just a casual who ignores real problems. You can hardly express your opinion without being attacked by someone, says one player, and provides evidence.
Diablo 4: The developers explain the new item system and the new endgame dungeon
Diablo 4 is “in a good state”
What does the community respond to him? The user “Outside_Dare_7709” asks on June 2 on Reddit if the game is worth it, as it is currently 50% off. The top comment comes from “AdequateSherbet”. He responds: “Yes, the game is currently in a good state, and it is definitely worth it for 50% off.”
The user “nevermore2627” writes on Reddit: “I have played over 400 hours since release, and the game is in a really good phase right now. [The developers] are actually listening to the community and making the changes we want.” And “zczirak” adds: “I can’t believe I can finally say this, but yes, absolutely.”
And “-Dargs” notes on Reddit that he has spent thousands of hours in Path of Exile. Diablo 4 is not as complex but offers many hours of content. Not every new season is super good, but the current state of the game with this patch is worth the money. He played the beta, season 1, 2, and the current one, and he regrets nothing.
“AccomplishedSuccess0” writes on Reddit: “It is better than ever. I am currently playing my 3rd character of the season and thinking about a 4th. It is super fun and rewarding.” Others note that Diablo 4 is not perfect, but on a good path. Buying it on sale is “smart.” Individuals especially praise the hell floods and the fast leveling up.
Are there any other opinions? Hardly. Some recommend trying Diablo 4 “for free” on Gamepass first. Several feel that the sale is worth it just for the campaign. However, “N8CCRG” notes on Reddit that the problem with the campaign is that you reach level 50 in act 2 and can then oneshot everything else. That has taken away a lot of the fun for him.
The fact that players level too quickly in the campaign is currently being discussed more often. Because during the campaign, you are limited to playing at most World Tier 2. You can only visit World Tiers 3 and 4 after the campaign. This means that enemies eventually fall below your level. Players think: Diablo 4 punishes newcomers in the campaign because leveling is too quick.

With Gold Road, the new feature of the Scripture is live on the servers of The Elder Scrolls Online as of June 3, 2024. However, this important gameplay feature of the chapter is not well received by many players. MeinMMO breaks down the points of criticism.
Unfortunately, the most important Gold Road innovation for the player experience of the Elder Scrolls MMORPG is also not received well: the Scripture. This feature allows you to customize skills from various skill lines according to your own needs for the first time. There are said to be more than 4,000 combinations for the eleven new skills.
The launch trailer for Elder Scrolls Online – Gold Road:

What are parts of the community criticizing? Currently, several discussions about the Scripture are taking place in the official Elder Scrolls Online forum. The following points, in particular, are causing frustration or disappointment among players:
Anyone who wants to use the Scripture and the associated new skills must purchase Gold Road. Since the customizable skills would not only provide more options for combat but also obvious advantages, this would clearly be a case of Pay2Win in the context of PvP.
With the quests related to the Scripture, you are guaranteed one script per day. Other quests are said to have a 25 percent chance of dropping a script. Additionally, you can obtain scripts from merchants or through the Endless Archives. Scripts are only unlocked for the character. Those who play multiple characters will likely have to brace for a tough grind.
The quests surrounding the Scripture are described as “tedious, boring, and annoying”. The distances between objectives can be quite long. Furthermore, it involves returning to old areas like Auridon.
Some buyers of Gold Road are disappointed with the grind factor and the gameplay content associated with the Scripture. Others who have not yet purchased Gold Road are considering quitting ESO altogether because they fear that the already improvable balance in PvP will become much worse from now on.
How does MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz assess the situation? I was able to dive into Gold Road for a few hours last night and can confirm that the quests revolving around the Scripture are only somewhat enjoyable. You really travel around a lot without experiencing anything exciting, and it goes back to old zones way too often for my taste.
Regarding the Pay2Win accusation, I think we should wait and see if the new skills really prove to be the clearly best option for PvP, without which you would have no chance. This risk has existed in the past as well, for example, when new classes were introduced through a chapter that came with their own skill lines and synergies.
In my experience, the majority of Tamriel adventurers are really into the PvE and story content of the MMORPG, and they usually deal with such simple challenges that it will unfortunately hardly matter how powerful the Scripture skills turn out to be. What do you think? You can find an overview of all features of Gold Road here.

In Pokémon GO, the Spotlight Hour with Makuhita takes place today, June 4, 2024. We from MeinMMO will show you all the important information about the start, the Shiny, and the bonus.
What event is it about? Pokémon GO hosts a so-called Spotlight Hour every Tuesday, during which a previously determined Pokémon spawns everywhere in the wilderness for 60 minutes. It is accompanied by an additional bonus that is intended to enhance the short event.
Today, June 4, it’s time again, and you can look forward to Makuhita during the first Spotlight Hour in the season Heavenly Teamwork. The Fighting-type Pokémon comes from the third generation of games and can evolve into Hariyama. Whether the monster is worth it and what additional bonus it is accompanied by, we have summarized below for you.

Spotlight Hour on June 4 – Start, Bonuses, and Shiny
When does the Spotlight Hour start? The Spotlight Hour starts today, June 4, 2024, as usual at 6:00 PM local time and is active until 7:00 PM.
What bonuses can you expect? During the one-hour event, numerous Makuhita spawns are primarily what you can expect. The Fighting-type Pokémon can indeed be found at every corner during this time. If the spawns are not enough, you can attract more specimens using incense. Additionally, during this time, you will receive double candies for catching Pokémon.
Is there Shiny Makuhita? Yes, with a bit of luck, you can also encounter a shiny Makuhita during the Spotlight Hour. You can recognize it by its slightly lighter body and the orange hands and apron. However, note that the Shiny chance today, unlike on Community Days, is not increased.
Is the Spotlight Hour with Makuhita worth it? Makuhita has a solid evolution in Hariyama, which can score with enormous stamina as well as a good attack value. With its moves Counter and Dynamic Punch, it ranks 10th in our ranking of the best Fighting-type attackers in Pokémon GO and is thus a good candidate for raids. However, there are also a number of better alternatives.
Those who still don’t have a strong Fighting-type attacker in their team should take advantage of this opportunity today. Thanks to the candy bonus, you can also collect the needed candies to level up the monster. Furthermore, Shiny hunters will fully enjoy themselves today.
Diablo 4 has heavily adjusted loot in Season 4. As a result, many builds that were previously significantly weaker than their alternatives are now quite strong. One player is happily laser-firing through enemies with just one button.
What kind of build is this?
The Incinerate build focuses on the spell of the same name. Incinerate is a fire beam that incinerates enemies while piercing through them.
Although you need to stand still to channel it, you deal significantly more damage per second. In the end, you only need one button: the one for Incinerate.
What makes it so strong? The Incinerate build is probably one of the simplest, perhaps even the simplest build for Sorceress. A user on Reddit shows how he easily incinerates dozens of demons while standing still and spinning in circles.
We don’t know which variant of the build he uses. Icy Veins’ version looks quite promising and appears in the A-tier on the website’s tier list. Here are the characteristics of the build:
Enormous damage, even against bosses and elite enemies
Few prerequisites, you actually only need one Legendary: the Aspect of the Flame Thrower, which splits Incinerate into 3 beams
The Fireball enchantment, which causes enemies to explode upon death, resulting in deadly chain reactions
With Endless Pyre, you deal more damage per second
Incinerate is one of the best builds for new players and anyone looking to try out Sorceress as a new class. A major advantage is that you have a perfect preparation for later cleanup in the endgame, such as with the Flame Thrower build for leveling.
The biggest problem with the build is that you are very mana-hungry. This can be countered with aspects like the Aspect of the Wonderkid and mana regeneration on items. Optimize your gear through hardening and completion if you have mana issues.

Once the mana issues are resolved, you are nearly unstoppable. Your biggest weakness is that you have to stand still and wait for enemies to come to you to maximize damage output.
Additionally, you need to ensure that defensive skills like Flame Shield and Ice Armor are always available when you need them. If you have neither of these nor Frost Nova ready, a strong enemy can take you down quickly.
In the clip on Reddit, users compare the build to the Whirlwind Barbarian, an iconic build for weapon swingers that also only requires one button. In contrast to the Barbarians, however, Sorceresses are tied to one position.
Nevertheless, the Incinerate Sorceress seems to be quite popular among players. It is said that once the mana issues are cleared up, the build is incredibly fun.
New players can be quickly overwhelmed by Elden Ring. However, this is often not due to the freedom of choice in the open world or the difficulty. Instead, the game’s lore leads to confusion. A player on Reddit believes that she is too stupid for Elden Ring.
What is the problem? Anyone who has ever played a Soulsborne game by FromSoftware knows: Narratively, the games are very vague. The story is told partly through cryptic monologues from various NPCs and partly through item descriptions.
Those who really want to understand everything must either delve deep into the subject and formulate their own theories about the storyline and the history of the world. Or a look (or two) at the respective wiki is enough. There, fans have compiled the community’s vast knowledge. To this day, players continually discover new details.
However, new players are not always aware of this problem, especially if Elden Ring is their first Souls game. In such a case, the lore can leave one feeling quite lost and can result in feeling really stupid. This is what happened to a player who turned to the Reddit community with her concerns.
To this, she posted a self-drawn cartoon. It shows two comic characters talking to an NPC from Elden Ring. The cryptic monologue leaves only confusion, and the main cause is the various names that players encounter in Elden Ring.
Godrick, Godfrey, Godwyn, Morgott, Mogh, Margit, Marika, Miquella, Malenia, Radagon, Radahn, Rykard, Ranni… are you already feeling dizzy?
In the game, initial letters often indicate belonging. Remembering all the names can become tricky, especially during the first playthrough.
What does the community say? What is frequently read in the comments can be summarized as follows: It is completely normal to be confused by the lore of the game. Most players also mean that during their first playthroughs, they understood very little content.
The user zaqqui writes: “During my first playthrough of the game, I literally paid no attention to the story. The world-building without a fixed narrative captivated me so much that I played for 400 hours.”
“In the first playthrough of any FromSoft game, everything that attacks me dies. After that, when I am interested enough, I learn the story and check how to complete the quests for the second playthrough. Don’t worry, the games are intentionally vague,” writes the user Thespac3c0w.
Many others feel the same way. One does not need to understand the story of Elden Ring to have fun with the game.
However, those who have the patience to read up will be rewarded with an extensive lore. YouTube channels like VaatiVidya can also help with this. For years, he has provided fans of FromSoftware with detailed explanatory videos about the lore of the games. On MeinMMO, you will also find a summary of Elden Ring’s story.

A Reddit user recently purchased a used game via eBay. What he did not expect: The seller left him a personally written note.
Which game is it? The first Dark Souls from 2011 has already been around for a few years. Nevertheless, it is still played – even by new players. Perhaps because they have tried the later installments, or Elden Ring, which is receiving its major expansion this month.
However, the games from FromSoftware are not for everyone. For this reason, or to save money, some players resort to used versions of the old games. Such was the case with the Reddit user Comfortable-Safe1839, who bought Dark Souls on eBay and experienced a real surprise when he opened the packaging. Besides this, there are also offers on eBay that are anything but cheap.
Fans of the developer FromSoftware can look forward to the upcoming expansion of Elden Ring. Here you can see the trailer for the story, for which we have summarized more information on MeinMMO:

“It’s really difficult”
What did the player find? Comfortable-Safe1839 shares his experience on Reddit. He bought a used PS3 version of Dark Souls on eBay. A note was stuck to the disc, and it contained a message from the seller.
It read: “Good luck with this game! It’s really difficult. I stopped after 20 hours. Have fun!”

A polite gesture, as the Reddit user found. At the same time, it is also a warning about what the player can expect on his adventures in the land of Lordran. Dark Souls is rightfully regarded as one of the most difficult games and cemented the series’ reputation as a challenging gaming experience.
After all, the seller endured 20 hours in the game before passing it on. Whether the new, happy owner has any experience with the Soulsborne games cannot be inferred from the posting.
How does the community react? Users on Reddit endorse the seller’s message. User North-Blueberry-6547 states: “That’s sweet of him, you should buy more from him and give him more stars.”
Other users share similar experiences from their online purchases:
“I love it when people randomly do such things. I once bought a Batman game and the envelope was sealed with Batman stickers,” shares FaceTransplant.
“When I bought Bioshock Infinite years ago, an eBay seller sent me a free action figure of Elizabeth,” writes Slayerpod.
“I bought Dark Souls from someone on eBay. We met in person and it cost about 1/4 of the retail price. I asked him why it was so cheap and he said he threw his controller against the wall after an hour,” recalls user wiedziu about his first encounter with Dark Souls.
It once again shows that such small gestures are well received by people. All we can do is hope that the buyer in this case will be happy with Dark Souls and not similarly frustrated and give up after a few hours. Have you ever experienced a similar story? New players of FromSoftware’s latest game, Elden Ring, also continue to struggle – but not just because of the tough fights.

Stranger Things is one of the biggest TV phenomena of recent years. The actors of the series suddenly found themselves in everyone’s minds. The actor who plays Dustin talks in an interview about the meaning of his career and that he will probably never be as successful again.
Stranger Things is one of the greatest series of all time. This is also due to its child actors, who have become fan favorites and significantly contribute to the beloved Spielberg feeling in the series. Many of the young actors were in everyone’s minds and became truly famous through the series.
One of the biggest fan favorites is Dustin, who is played by Gaten Matarazzo. Stranger Things was his first major role, which he had at the age of 14. Aside from that, he had hardly any other significant roles. But that doesn’t seem to bother him, as he reveals in a recent interview.

At 00:33:40, Rosenbaum, who enjoyed hype himself through Smallville, asks what it’s like to rise quickly and then know that after the end of the series, the writers and creators will move straight to the next series.
Matarazzo surprisingly says that it felt refreshing not to be exposed to the big hype anymore. He knows what the series has brought him financially and for his career, but he is looking forward, as he believes careers in Hollywood are a constant up and down.
I agree to understand that Stranger Things will be the biggest thing I will ever do and probably the thing I will be remembered for, even if I continue to work.
He doesn’t see this as a big problem and says he’s cool with it as long as it provides him with security and work. Michael Rosenbaum can only respond: Listen to me, you’re older than I currently am.
When looking at the careers of the other actors, especially Finn Wolfhard or Millie Bobby Brown, both have also appeared in larger productions outside of Stranger Things with films like Ghostbusters and Godzilla. Nevertheless, both Matarazzo and the other actors are still young, and the next big hit could suddenly wait in their careers. On the other hand, there’s David Harbour, who is glad to have become successful later: “Dad” from Stranger Things talks about his relationship with the child stars
