Finding and Catching Furfrou in Pokémon GO
How to find Furfrou? During the Fashion Week 2021, it was particularly easy to find the Pokémon.
For the Valentine’s Day event 2024, Furfrou appeared again in the game. It was available in the wild from February 13 at 10:00 AM until February 15 at 8:00 PM.
The easiest way to find it is by completing Chapter 7 of the Misunderstood Mischief research. Everyone could complete this task and get Furfrou as a reward.
However, you can also find Furfrou occasionally in the wild. There you will encounter the Natural form.
How to Change Furfrou’s Form
This is the requirement: To be able to change Furfrou’s form, you need 25 Furfrou candies and 10,000 Stardust.
If you meet this requirement, select the Furfrou from your collection whose form you want to change. You will find the button to Change Form under the Power-Up button. Once there, you can choose between the forms that are available in your current region.
Every Furfrou you catch will initially come into your collection in the normal Natural Form. You can then change the form whenever you want.
Now you know the most important information about Furfrou and its various forms.
Can you catch shiny Furfrou? Yes, since September 2022, you can catch Furfrou in its shiny form. Which is your favorite form of Furfrou and do you like the form-changing function?

Update from July 7, 2025: There are always special events that provide you with more golden PokéStops or make Gimmighoul more available. Currently, this is not the case. As soon as another Gimmighoul event is running, we will keep you updated. You can find out how it currently is here.
Catch Gimmighoul in Pokémon GO – With the Nintendo Switch and Coin Bag
How can you catch Gimmighoul? To catch Gimmighoul, you need the Coin Bag. For this, you must send postcards to Pokémon Scarlet or Violet.
Sending a postcard to Pokémon GO is possible once per day. The first time you do this, you receive the Coin Bag. This item then works similarly to the Wonder Box, with which you get Meltan. The Coin Bag attracts Gimmighoul to you.
Here’s how to connect Pokémon GO with Scarlet & Violet on Nintendo Switch
Follow these steps to connect Pokémon GO and Nintendo Switch:
Update Scarlet & Violet on Nintendo Switch and Pokémon GO on your phone
Enable Bluetooth on your phone
Go to the “Mystery Gift” menu in Scarlet on Violet
Press “X” to access settings
Select “PokéPortal”
Select “Mystery Gift”
Select “Link with Pokémon GO”
Then select “Link a Pokémon GO account”
Go to settings in Pokémon GO
Select “Connected Devices and Services”
There, select “Connect to Nintendo Switch”
Link the two accounts by pressing the button on the Switch
Now go to “GO” in the postcard book and select a postcard
Under the three lines in the bottom right corner, you can select “Send to Nintendo Switch”
Press “Connect with Pokémon GO” again on the Switch
Now you should have received the Coin Bag and see this screen:
How do I get postcards? You receive them through gifts from your friends. When they send you gifts, you can pin the postcard to add it to your postcard book. You can also pin your own postcards when sending gifts.

What do golden PokéStops provide in Pokémon GO?
This is what golden PokéStops are good for: At the golden stops, you can collect Gimmighoul coins. However, they are not always available. Generally, you need the Gold Lure Module to turn PokéStops into golden PokéStops.
What are Gold Lure Modules? You obtain them by sending multiple postcards to Scarlet and Violet. The Gold Lure Module can then be used at a stop to transform it.
These stops then provide:
More items than normal stops
Gimmighoul coins
And with a lot of luck, Gimmighoul spawns (this applies only to gold stops where the Gold Lure Module was also used.)
These are Gimmighoulcoins: You need Gimmighoul coins to evolve Wandering Form Gimmighoul into Gholdengo. However, you need a whole 999 of them.
How do I get Gimmighoulcoins? You get them:
When catching Gimmighoul
When walking with Gimmighoulas a buddy
From golden PokéStops
Basically, Gimmighoul is among the more unusual Pokémon in Pokémon GO that you cannot catch quite as easily. Its evolution, Gholdengo, is even rarer. Because getting the amount of coins required for the evolution is not easy at all. A comparable Pokémon in this regard is Zygarde. To change its form, you need to complete many routes and find Zygarde Cells. You can read everything about Zygarde and the Zygarde Cells here.

ARC Raiders received a detailed roadmap with some information about new content after its release. This is now outdated and many are wondering what Embark has planned for 2026.
Update, March 23, 2026: The article has been reviewed and structurally adjusted.
Is there a roadmap for 2026? Yes, there is. The developers want to continue working on ARC Raiders in 2026. With a roadmap after its release, the shooter and its studio showed what content you can look forward to. However, this should not be a one-time thing, as a new roadmap was released at the beginning of 2026, called “Escalation.” This brings new content for the Raiders in Speranza over the course of several months.

ARC Raiders has enjoyed great and particularly increasing popularity since its release. The player numbers are growing and show a clear upward trend, proving that extraction shooters do not have to be a niche. Unfortunately, the shooter could quickly lose its shine if the studio implements a feature that many fans want – at least that’s what our shooter expert Dariusz thinks: ARC Raiders will die if it listens to the whiny gamers demanding PvE servers

The comedy sitcom The Big Bang Theory once raised the question of whether the theft of in-game content is really theft. A British court has now provided an answer based on Old School RuneScape.
What is this case about? A former employee of Jagex, who worked as a content developer on the MMORPG Old School RuneScape, is accused of having unauthorized access to the accounts of 68 players who owned large amounts of the in-game currency “Gold”.
The accused allegedly stole over 705 billion Gold, with a real trading value of around 626,000 Euros, from the players and then sold it through third parties, including for Bitcoin. He now faces five charges, including:
Gaining unauthorized access to computer material with the intent to commit an offense.
Theft, arguing that “between March 17, 2018, and July 29, 2028, he stole a large amount of gold nuggets from the online game Old School RuneScape […] that belongs to Jagex.”
Three charges related to money laundering offenses because the accused allegedly converted the gold to Bitcoin, among other things.
A lower court in the UK initially dismissed the charges on the grounds that gold does not constitute property, as it is “infinitely reproducible” and mere information. The prosecution subsequently appealed. The new ruling is the result of this appeal.

Old School RuneScape – Trailer for the Steam Release
Theft of in-game currency is also theft
The court ruled: The court decided that the theft of gold can indeed be considered theft (via nationalarchives.gov). This ruling was made by three judges. The presiding judge justified the ruling as follows:
“Gold nuggets in RuneScape can, in the sense of normal language use, be described as something that can be stolen. They fall under none of the established exceptions. They are not ‘pure knowledge’: Functionally, they exist as identifiable assets that are distinct from the code from which they arise and lie outside of human understanding.“
The court states that the gold nuggets are assets “that have a discernible monetary value and can be exchanged for that value both within and outside the game.”
“Within the game rules, they represent a monetary value resulting from the purchase of a bond.”
“Outside the game, they are regularly exchanged for money.”
“They can be the subject of dishonest transactions that deprive their owner of their use and value.”
Furthermore, the judgment reads that the court would find it “surprising and unsatisfactory” if such dishonest transactions did not meet the criteria for theft.
What happens now for the accused: The court’s ruling has paved the way for a criminal trial. How the situation will proceed for the accused after the ruling is still unclear. The trial, which will decide on a possible sentence, is still pending.
It is clear that the accused can no longer claim that the theft of gold is not real theft. He continues to face the possibility of a sentence for theft and potentially even for money laundering.
RuneScape will turn 25 years old in 2026. To celebrate the anniversary, the developers have planned a lot. Just a few days ago, they presented the roadmap for the current year. You can find out more about it on MeinMMO: RuneScape presents new roadmap for 2026, immediately eliminates Pay2Win

Nintendo surprisingly scheduled its Direct for a Sunday. In this, there was a new trailer for the movie about Super Mario Galaxy. Finally, the character that fans have been waiting for appeared.
Which character is being referred to? In the new trailer, Yoshi is seen for the first time. He is the small, green companion of Mario. He has been around since Super Mario World in 1990 and is a popular mascot of the universe.
In the games, Yoshi cannot speak. He only says his name in a cute voice and can make some noises – and the new movie about Super Mario Galaxy adheres to this, as the new trailer shows:
Start video
Super Mario Galaxy introduces Yoshi in the new trailer
Yoshi is the star of the trailer
How does Yoshi appear? Mario and Luigi are called to an inverted pyramid, which you might know from Super Mario Odyssey. Here, they are supposed to look at a threat that ultimately turns out to be the adorable Yoshi.
From then on, Yoshi is part of the group, and we see him experiencing more scenes with Mario and Luigi. One of them is a encounter with a large T-Rex, which Yoshi, who is also inspired by a dinosaur, has to face.
There are also more characters like Princess Peach and the baby versions of Mario and Luigi. However, the viewers are missing a certain thing.
What is missing in the trailer? During the live reveal, there were some comments in the chat that nothing about Super Mario Galaxy is shown. Most of the scenes are in reference to Super Mario Odyssey. Unfortunately, there was nothing to see in space, such as the iconic scenes where Mario flies through space on Yoshi from planet to planet.
When does the movie come out? In Germany, the movie is set to hit theaters on April 2, 2026.
What do fans say about it? In the comments of the now-released YouTube video, viewers are happy that Yoshi does not speak. No voice actor was introduced in the Direct itself either. The dino will not speak complete sentences but will only say his name and make cute noises.
A player impresses the community of ARC Raiders with his skill. They compare him to action heroes like Batman and Jason Bourne.
What is behind the “Arc Knight”? On Reddit, a player shared a clip he found in the depths of the internet – unfortunately, he does not mention any channel as a source. This clip shows a Raider, who the community later crowns “ARC Knight”, a nod to Batman’s nickname “Dark Knight”.
In the clip, the player destroys a rocket gunner. These are powerful and heavily armored ARCs that fly and shoot rockets. For the impressive way he takes out this rocket gunner, the post receives over 21,000 upvotes within a day.

Raider becomes a celebrated action hero
What is so impressive about the clip? At the beginning of the clip, the Raider dives from a tall building. On his way down, he passes by a rocket gunner, on which he then shoots with a grappling hook during the fall.
Shortly after, the player hangs with a rope on the flying Arc and casually lets himself down – but his target is not the ground. He pulls himself back up with the zipline, cuts the connection just below the rocket gunner, and uses the momentum of the movement to swing onto the robot. There, he places an explosive Deadline mine, which automatically explodes after 6 seconds and deals damage to everything within a 10-meter radius.
Just before the explosion, the ARC Knight walks backwards into the abyss, shoots again with the grappling hook at the rocket gunner while falling, and pulls himself up again a few meters as the robot perishes in the detonation.
The final use of the grappling hook significantly changed the “trajectory” of the Raider, causing him to swoop closer to the building towards the ground and grab a rope that he then slides down slowly and safely without taking damage.
Here you can watch the clip on Reddit:

This is how the community reacts: In the subreddit of ARC Raiders, many players are impressed by the Raider’s gameplay. They compare him to action heroes Jason Bourne and Batman. One comment with over 800 upvotes states: “Did a rocket gunner kill this guy’s parents in a dark alley or something? We have the ARC Knight here.”
Other Raiders admit through the clip that there are significantly better players in ARC Raiders than themselves. One user harshly judges: “I am so damn bad at the game.” Another jokes that some players seem to be playing a different game than he is.
Many are sure: This was an amazing clip and they cannot imagine seeing better gameplay so quickly.
Is this gameplay really rare? Yes, the actions of the ARC Knights require a good amount of practice and skill. If you miss with the grappling hook because you shoot at the wrong moment, you simply fall to your death.
Nevertheless, several videos of this kind are already circulating on various platforms. On TikTok, there was a trend for a few weeks to ride the Rocketeers. Clips where everything runs so smoothly and looks so casual are still fairly rare.
After the last few days of bad vibes in the Sauercrowd community, Twitch streamer Metashi12 speaks his mind again. The death of his hardcore character has hit him hard.

“I had such mental pressure”
What does Metashi12 say now? Metashi12 commented on what he said during his stream. He made it clear that he meant his statement about not wanting to play anymore after the death of his second character.
He further explains that he is emotionally very involved in the event, which led to such a statement. Although the death of his warrior was already 4 days ago, he was still shaken by it.
[…] because I thought I could show the people out there how it’s done right. I can show the people of the event that I’m the first one of the guild leaders to pull it through. I had such mental pressure that I put on myself, that when I died… Dude, I was sadder when my character died than when my grandmother died.
Metashi12 wants to revise his statement and promises: Should his current character also die, even at level 60, he would start again in hardcore WoW. However, he also does not rule out playing TBC on the side.
To get a job at the developer of Palworld, one must meet a curious condition. Applicants are required to submit a screenshot showing their library on Steam and the respective playtimes.
What kind of evidence is this?On X, the CEO of Pocketpair, Takuro Mizobe, reveals an important detail that applicants for a new job at the developer must submit. Those interested in a position as a Game Designer must submit a specific screenshot showing the playtime listings on Steam for the respective candidate.
All the candidates who cannot demonstrate any experience with Steam and have not played any games there will be filtered out in the very first application phase.
We also ask individuals who play a large number of games on PS5, Xbox, etc., to submit those as well! However, if the number of played Steam games is 0, we will reject them outright (we want our colleagues in the company to play indie games that are only available on Steam).
Moreover: Should the candidates be invited to the next round, they must explain the gameplay mechanics of their favorite games that rank highest in playtime.
They would also need to answer why they believe these specific mechanics were implemented and what makes the titles so unique when compared to other games in the same genre.

The Warhammer universe is home to many powerful wizards: We present to you the 7 most powerful in this list.
[toc]
Outwardly, Warhammer is primarily known for one thing, namely big, muscular warriors in heavy armor. It doesn’t matter which of the three Warhammer worlds one looks at:
Warhammer 40,000 has its Space Marines, genetically modified super soldiers, who are armored from head to toe and far stronger than any normal human
Age of Sigmar has something like the fantasy version of that with the Stormcast Eternals
In Warhammer Fantasy, there are the Chaos Warriors in their threatening armor, particularly the followers of the Chaos god Khorne, who are known for their bloodlust
But Warhammer is not just a universe of hyper-masculine soldiers; it’s also a world where powerful wizards shake mountains – and that’s not a metaphor in this case.
What is being ranked here? We are ranking the 7 most powerful wizards from Warhammer Fantasy. Therefore, no characters are considered that occur solely in one of the other worlds, such as Age of Sigmar or 40,000. You can also read about the differences between the individual worlds of Warhammer on MeinMMO.
Who is stronger is determined by the lore. There is no official ranking, but the power level of many wizards can be estimated fairly well based on their deeds. For the lore, we use the Lexicanum. Although it is an online wiki created by fans, they refer to official material.
As a little extra, we also look at what these wizards have done during the “End Times”, i.e. the end of the world.
Rank 7: Balthasar Gelt
At the very bottom of our ranking is Balthasar Gelt, by the way the only human on this list. His interest in uniting magic and science made Gelt more powerful than all his colleagues in the Order of Gold. Moreover, he is the Supreme Patriarch of the wizard orders of the Empire, making him the leader of all magic schools and thus an important political figure.
In the launch trailer for Immortal Empires for Total War: Warhammer 3, the wizard is seen alongside the dragon Zhao Ming:

Total War: Warhammer 3 – Launch Trailer Immortal Empires
Balthasar Gelt always wears a golden mask and metallic robes. He has not removed them since an accident when an explosion occurred in his laboratory. Some say he is horribly disfigured – others whisper that he turned his own flesh into gold. Gelt was fascinated by alchemy and obsessed with turning things into gold.
In his time, Gelt was the most powerful wizard of the Empire. His end came during a ritual that could have prevented the literal end of the world of Warhammer Fantasy. In the midst of this ritual, however, Gelt was stabbed in the back by a power-hungry vampire, Mannfred von Carstein.

The team from Dragon Ball has several good news for fans. The best news is that the anime is finally continuing after an 8-year hiatus.
What was announced? Yesterday, the event “Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri” took place in Japan. The 40th anniversary of Dragon Ball was celebrated, and there were some exciting announcements, as can be seen on the official page.
The biggest announcement is that the anime of Dragon Ball Super is continuing. The last episode was in 2018 with “Universe Survival Saga”. The anime picks up exactly at this point and continues with the “The Galactic Patrol Saga”. It is currently in production. It may take a while before it is available on streaming services.
Goku and Vegeta in the new arc.
In the first promo image, Vegeta and Goku are seen in their training uniforms. Each has the symbol of the Galactic Patrol on their armor’s chest. The emblem is also in the background, and both stand side by side with a serious expression.
Readers of the manga probably know the arc as the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc. In this arc, Goku and Vegeta must team up with the members of the Galactic Patrol. They are the peacekeepers of the galaxy. Together, they must face a gigantic battle against a new enemy, the planet devourer Moro.

Dragon Ball has more surprises in store
What else was announced? If you have missed the anime of Dragon Ball Super so far, that’s no problem. The entire previous anime is set to be restarted as a new project.
Under the name “Dragon Ball Super: Beerus”, there will be an extended version of the anime from Dragon Ball Super. The project started a few years ago.
By “extended”, the team means that there will be improved visual expressions in every scene, especially in the fight scenes. They are set to be even more immersive and to provide a detailed reproduction of the original work by manga artist Akira Toriyama.
There is also news from the gaming front. A new game is set to be released in 2027, featuring original characters. The game will include a completely new character, which was even drawn by Akira Toriyama himself before he passed away a few years ago. The project is under the name “Age 1000” and will feature even more unique characters.
Thanks to his film trilogy, most people have probably heard of Deadpool. The silly mercenary primarily relies on humor. In 2014, DC created a similar character who acts like a parody and is even sillier in some aspects.
Deadpool is a brutal mercenary, but he relies on humor and breaking the fourth wall – meaning: he often addresses the reader or viewer directly. In the film domain, the comic character has become a well-known figure, as Deadpool has already received 3 movies. However, he made his first appearance in 1991 in the comic New Mutants #98.
The character, whose real name is Wade Wilson, was initially a rather serious villain but over time transformed into the silly and immortal anti-hero, who likes to challenge Thanos.
In 2014, DC introduced the character Red Tool, who is more or less obviously meant to be a parody of Deadpool.
Start video

A Fanatical Stalker
Who is Red Tool? In Harley Quinn #3 (April 2014), the anti-heroine encounters the character Wayne Wilkins. In the comic, Harley eats a berry that makes everyone who meets her fall in love with her. In a shop, she also meets Wilkins, who falls madly in love with her. He is briefly seen as an employee of a hardware store.
There, he fights against all the other lovesick criminals. In Harley Quinn #26 (March 2016), we see him again in the hospital. After a brawl, he is injured and after a botched operation, he no longer feels physical pain. He pushes a doctor out of a window and escapes from the hospital.
In a forest, he finds a cabin full of tools, and two pages later, we see Red Tool, who is not particularly fond of Harley. He knocks Harley out, kidnaps her, and forces her on a date. At the end of Harley Quinn #27, he even tries to get her to marry him. He is obsessed with Harley and cannot decide depending on the situation whether he loves her or would prefer to kill her.
He is a comic relief character. Red Tool tells bad jokes, and his actions mostly serve for humor. Unlike Deadpool, he does not break the fourth wall.
Does he have any abilities? His only superpower is that he does not feel pain. This helps only to a limited extent in battle, as unlike Deadpool, he cannot regenerate. Later, after losing an arm, he receives a cyber-arm that is stronger than normal humans.
Otherwise, he prefers to use hand tools rather than real weapons, which is also reflected in his costume with the saw blades.
You can take a look at Red Tool here:

Red Tool, Deadpool (and Deathstroke)
Even though it hasn’t been officially confirmed, it can be assumed that Red Tool is meant to be a parody of Deadpool. Both wear a red costume, and the names Red Tool and Deadpool as well as Wayne Wilkins and Wade Wilson sound similar. Harley herself refers to him as Dead Fool in Harley Quinn #28.
Aside from that, Red Tool is treated as a character of his own, which does not simply copy the main features of Deadpool (even though he is just as silly, if not even sillier than the Marvel hero).
Isn’t Deadpool himself based on another character? Deadpool is often associated with the character Deathstroke from DC, who made his first appearance 11 years before Deadpool in the comic The New Titans #2 (December 1980). Here there are strong similarities in weapon choice (katanas and firearms), but also in the names: Wade Wilson is Deadpool, Slade Wilson is Deathstroke.
Officially, Marvel has never confirmed that Deadpool is based on Deathstroke; one of his creators, Robert Liefeld, clarified in 2022 on x.com: There is ZERO Deathstroke in Deadpool. This story came about ten years ago and is complete nonsense.
On the other hand, Marvel and DC themselves regularly poke fun at the comparison. During the Teen Titans Go film, Warner Bros. Canada posted a clip where Deathstroke mocks Deadpool:

In the comic Deadpool Nerdy 30 #1, Deadpool himself says: And people have said I was just a parody of that Stroke of Death guy (via Screen Rant). This comic was also co-written by Fabian Nicieza, who along with Liefeld wrote Deadpool’s first appearance.
Niecieza commented on this himself in an interview on YouTube. There he said:
It is hard to explain that to people because they want to see everything in black and white. There is simply a difference between doing something as a tribute and doing something as a parody. And then it makes a difference to do something as an insider joke. That was nothing more than an insider joke.
So even here a rather vague statement. You may never be able to prove it fully, but the parallels are at least visually present. As characters in their stories, however, they differ greatly.
Red Tool seems more like a short joke than a clear parody of the character. One should probably take all this with a grain of humor. Artists often like to be inspired by other artists to create their own stuff. You can read more about Deadpool here: Deadpool & Wolverine has a great joke that only exists in the German version

Do you know that feeling when you rewatch a beloved show from your childhood? MeinMMO editor Jasmin rewatched Avatar: The Last Airbender after 20 years and realized that she actually watches the anime just for the cheeky remarks of one character.
Avatar: The Last Airbender is not an anime in the traditional sense since the series comes from the USA. Originally, the series aired in Germany starting in 2006. Out of nostalgia, I made it a point to rewatch the entire series today, 20 years later.
In the series, the 4 elements of water, earth, fire, and air form the basis of the story and the nations.
Each nation masters one of these 4 elements and can use them for practical purposes as well as in battle. There is only ever one person who can master all 4 elements at the same time, and that is the Avatar.
The titular animated series follows twelve-year-old Aang, who slept in an iceberg for one hundred years. He is freed by the waterbender Katara and her warrior brother Sokka. Together, they embark on a journey to stop the Fire Lord, who wants to conquer the entire world.
However, in the 2nd season, a new character joins the group. I only just realized how much this character actually carried the show. During the current rewatch, I found myself watching the animated series just to not miss any of her jokes.

Avatar – Herr der Elemente sorgt kurz vor Start noch einmal für Tränen bei Fans
Toph is the strongest bender, prove me wrong!
In the 2nd season, Aang has to learn earthbending. For that, he looks for an earthbending teacher. At first, he thinks of King Bumi, but unfortunately, he has been captured by the Fire Nation. In the end, he lands with an underground fighter named Toph Beifong, who is actually the daughter of one of the richest families in the world.
The girl is blind and is therefore extremely protected by her parents. She is treated like a fragile porcelain doll. However, she masters earthbending like no one else. She is the undisputed champion of the earthbending tournament and operates as the Blind Bandit without her parents knowing.
Although Toph looks like a small and innocent girl, she is arguably the most powerful earthbender in the world. The reason for this is her seismic sense. Instead of viewing her blindness as a weakness, she has turned it into her greatest strength. She feels the vibrations in the earth through her feet and can “see” in that way. This allows her to perceive opponents and other dangers from a distance or to spot structures invisible to others.
Her fighting style also differs from others. She initially waits for her opponent’s action and then responds with overwhelming force. In combat, she uses the neutral Jing, which consists of the initial waiting and the subsequent strike.
Toph is even the first bender to invent metalbending in a crisis. From then on, she can free herself and her friends from prisons and shape metal with her will. She is indeed one of the most powerful benders in the series.
This is reflected in every battle in Avatar. Toph is basically the one who constantly rescues the group from trouble. If she is in danger herself, it’s only because opponents have exploited her blindness and ambushed her. She strikes precisely, deflects even air projectiles, and protects her comrades from death.
It’s always impressive for me to see, when she can lift the entire landscape from the ground. The earth masses she moves are immense, and that demonstrates what a formidable earthbender she is.
It’s always fun to see her take apart her opponents as an overpowered fighter. They could have really just pitted her against the Fire Lord, or what do you think?

But Toph is more than just her fighting style. She is an interesting person regarding her character traits. She often makes sarcastic remarks that annoy her friends but make me laugh as a viewer because they take the seriousness out of the situation.
She is also brutally honest and speaks her mind. She often dares to say what others would rather keep silent about. Toph is so honest that she even pokes fun at herself, occasionally even for her blindness.
Toph doesn’t take herself too seriously.
For example, she made a joke in a desert that she finally found the library the group had been searching for for hours, pointing into the distance with her finger. However, at that moment, the group is on the back of the flying bison Appa. It would be impossible for her to touch the ground and see the library in the distance. This is also noticed by the others.
There are also other situations, such as when she hangs up a missing poster for Appa upside down or tells a mean group of girls how beautiful they look with their makeup. Toph has a quick remark ready for every situation and doesn’t take herself too seriously. I wish I could be like her in that regard.
Over the many episodes, numerous legendary quotes have emerged from Toph. During my rewatch, I couldn’t wait for the earthbender to deliver her next joke. I had to laugh way too often!
MyMMO demon has been a bit overworked in the last few days. Blame it on a rogue-like that puts other games to shame.
Around Christmas, it is a tradition in my circle of friends to gift small games on Steam or other platforms. Simply as a little gesture or to say to the other person: “I thought this game was great, and I expect you to play it too, so we can nerd out about it together.” You know, a bit of gentle pressure to ensure friends and acquaintances actually play good games instead of the junk they usually waste their time on.
So that I don’t only chase old gods in dating sims, I was gifted “Knock on the Coffin Lid.” At first, I was a bit skeptical, but I got into it – and I’ve put more time into it over the past few weeks than in almost any other game of this kind before.

Knock on the Coffin Lid – Trailer for the tactical rogue-like with a lot of story
What kind of game is this? Knock on the Coffin Lid is a tactical rogue-like and also a card game. The abilities you can use are determined by the drawn cards from the deck. When the deck is depleted, the cards are shuffled back into the draw pile. Since you have limited resources, you must always think about which cards to play and in what order – unused cards leave your hand at the end of the round.
You start the journey every time with the mysterious Mortis, who resurrects you after death and has turned back time. From there, you choose a path filled with various events. There are classic battles against enemies, but also events where you can make decisions. Do you explore the dark cave? Do you loot the corpse of the murdered scout? Do you help the goblins kill an ogre? Do you save the village from the demons or help the demons?
Depending on the decisions you make, there are different rewards and consequences. Sometimes you get debuffs, other times you lose cards or gain new ones, sometimes you get a temporary companion or a fancy weapon.
Those who plan, win – those who do not plan, start over
How do the battles play out? The heart of the game is, of course, the combat system, which most people are already familiar with from games like “Slay the Spire” or “Rogue Lords”. You see the enemies’ intentions and know exactly in advance which spells or effects they will cast, how much damage they will cause, and what buff effects they have.
Anyone who has played “Slay the Spire” will feel right at home.
This turns it into a puzzle game: Can I manage to defeat the enemy before their turn so they can’t deal damage? Or do I build up enough shield energy to just absorb the damage? The opponent attacks 4 times in a row with weak attacks – can I possibly cast “Thorns” on myself so they suffer 4 damage and are defeated during their attack?
The tactical variety here is quite extensive and is only enhanced by the fact that there are 3 characters, each with 4 subclasses to choose from. Yet even with the same subclass, hardly any run will be alike, as the character can be equipped (weapons, jewelry, armor, potions, etc.) and benefit from set bonuses.
Yes, you encounter such lovely creatures too.
And yes, you should really take the time to read the buffs and debuffs carefully. I have sent myself to the afterlife several times by firing off a whole barrage while the opponent had a buff that read something like: For each hit taken in this turn, the number of attacks performed increases by 1 in the next round.
This learning from mistakes is, however, an integral part of the gameplay experience – and then you simply start over.
What makes the game special? The story and the variety of options. Because as Mortis tells his current story, you receive more and more information.
Two small examples:
At the watchtower of a city, you must decide: Do you want to attack the demonic guard or pay the toll of 500 gold? If you pay the gold, Mortis later says: “Oh, you could have just bargained to lower the price.” That becomes an option available in the next run.
The dwarven scouts: An elite scouting unit full of (drunken) dwarves attacks my knight and seems somehow upset and angry for no clear reason. Only when we take a completely different path in a future run do we find their commander, with whom we can befriend. In subsequent runs, we can then appease the dwarves by telling them about their commander – thus avoiding the battle.
Vanadis has a completely different play style than Persival or Bjorn – and all have 4 classes.
These are just small details, but Knock on the Coffin Lid is full of them. It is worth taking a different path each time and making new decisions in the events to learn more of the story and unlock more options.
Where can I get the game?Knock on the Coffin Lid is available on Steam for around €21. Given my playtime, this rogue-like is definitely worth the price. If that’s too high, you can always wait for a sale when the game will surely be offered at a discount.
Who is the game suitable for? Basically, anyone who has a soft spot for tactical rogue-likes. Those who enjoyed “Slay the Spire” will hardly need to adapt – as the game largely uses the same terminology but offers much more story and thus a greater motivation to set out one more time to fulfill Mortis’s wishes. And if I eventually lose interest, I’ll just go back to my goat goddess …

Our MMORPG expert Karsten Scholz regularly reports on the Sauercrowd project in WoW Classic, so much so that he thought: “I should do it myself better than one or the other Twitch nose.” What has he experienced with his hardcore character in the first 45 hours? Read on!
I associate many nostalgic memories with the original version of WoW. Nevertheless, I always need a few years off before I feel like experiencing the slowed-down gameplay of back then again. And the idea of trying this with hardcore rules has never occurred to me. Who is that crazy…?
Well, apparently a lot of players. Currently, perhaps even more players than ever before in Germany – due to the Sauercrowd project of the German-speaking Twitch scene. Among them many WoW newcomers who get to know the wonderful Azeroth under harsher conditions.
Then I thought to myself: If I regularly write about the hardcore experiences of Sauercrowd, I should perhaps just take a look at how WoW Classic plays under strict rules (and how far I can get).
This way, I could also check the atmosphere on the Sauercrowd server, get an impression of the population, and, if possible, experience one or two in-game events. Of course, only if I survive the project…
The First Time Alliance …
As the Sauercrowd streamers decided to go with the Alliance in a large vote, I had to step a little out of my comfort zone. While I know the leveling areas and quest hubs of the Horde like the back of my hand, the adventures under the blue lion banner are almost completely unknown to me.
Dangerous Alliance quests that are harder than they seem at first glance? Areas and paths where you might run into Horde guards? Well, I guess I’ll just have to face such things. It will be tougher because I’m forgoing all types of addons. So I have to… “ugh”… read quest texts.
But I remain true to my usual class choice and play a rogue. From experience, I know that leather users learn some tools during the leveling phase to survive critical situations. As a race, I choose humans, with swords. This is a strong combination thanks to sword specialization.
Karsten’s current Hardcore Rogue … yes, those are cloth shoulders, there weren’t any others yet.
Good and Bad News
The good news after about 45 hours of gameplay: I haven’t died yet, even though it was close once or twice. For example, when a raptor suddenly critted me through my active dodge (50 percent more dodge chance), causing my hit points to unexpectedly (and rapidly) approach zero.
Or when I had to rob the patrol for the rogue quest in Westfall, but the attempt failed… the key master can quickly send you to the ground. However, a quick solar plexus, followed by sprinting, defused the situation. Everything went smoothly on the second attempt.
The bad news: After about 45 hours of gameplay, I haven’t quite reached halftime (level 30). I am currently at level 29 and am questing through Duskwood – and the fear of the elite monstrosity Little, which wanders through the zone, is ever-present.
My progress so far nicely shows how tedious and time-consuming the leveling phase of WoW Classic is – without addons and when you don’t know all the quests by heart. In 45 hours, you could finish many other games or level several characters to max level in modern MMORPGs.
However, the hardcore factor also plays a role here. I am indeed playing much more cautiously and thus more slowly than during my last run in 2019.
Fear of Loss – a Constant Companion
In hardcore, the thought of losing the time invested in WoW Classic due to a small mistake already hurts. And that so much that I avoid risks as much as possible. Specifically, I am currently following the following rules while playing on the hardcore server:
I avoid almost every cave and mine or at least try not to venture too deep into them. Being trapped in such a confined area due to respawning is one of the most frequent causes of death in WoW Classic.
Murloc villages are taboo. I only pull single combat frogs in the outer areas and always keep an escape route open.
Unlike in normal WoW Classic, I also try not to solo escort or elite quests. In the latter variant, you often deal with multiple enemies at once. If you then also pull aggro from other enemies, it gets really dangerous. And with elite opponents, you often need all important cooldowns, and even then it can be very close.
I only step away from the PC (afk) when I am safely in a peaceful city, on the way to a safe place, or have logged out. In the wilderness, it can happen too quickly that an enemy stumbles into my (stealthed) rogue.
At times, I take very long paths to avoid high-level Horde guards or patrolling elite opponents like Little. Once you have aggro from them, you could be defeated faster on the ground than you can activate vanish if you’re unlucky.
I switch areas more often than I did in normal leveling runs to find quests that are at or slightly below my character level.
In addition, I rarely team up with other players. For the odd kill or elite quest, that’s okay. However, I actually lack the proverbial guts to tackle tricky dungeons like Uldaman with strangers, whose WoW experience I find hard to assess on hardcore.
There are just too many hardcore clips from dungeons where mispulls have sent part of or even the entire group to the spirit healer. Additionally, I know from my own experience how quickly one can die in the WoW Classic dungeons if not everyone knows what they are doing and is paying attention.
If I die due to my own stupidity, then that’s how it is. However, if my run ends due to the mistakes of others, that would certainly frustrate me immensely.
In the past, I usually avoided green quests (which are a few levels below the character’s level) while leveling in WoW Classic. In hardcore, they often offer comparatively safe experience.
Helpful Fanboys and Girls
NoNames from Sauercrowd, Sauercrowd Community, Sauercrowd Viewer, SauercrowdBrathering… these are just a few of countless guilds that make it clear: The German Twitch scene and its viewers currently dominate the Soulseeker server. Accordingly, a lot of German is written in the chats. However, there are also some international communities.
The current hype around the project has a nice side effect (at least on the Alliance side, I can’t assess the Horde): Although the classic servers have been online for a while, you constantly encounter other players while leveling. Those looking for teammates for quests and dungeons or a guild should find a match relatively quickly.
At the same time, the server is not so full that there would be queues when logging in or that you have to constantly wait for the respawn of quest enemies. The balance on Soulseeker is currently very pleasant. Anyone wanting to dive into hardcore for the first time will find a suitable server here.
The interaction on the server is also quite pleasant. I am constantly buffed or healed by passing characters. One strikes an opponent when one sees that the hit points of a character are quite low. Or one trades useful items that one doesn’t need, such as potions or pieces of equipment, when questing or chatting. At least, that’s my experience so far.
So far, I have hardly had contact with the Sauercrowd members. While I keep running into the streamers, their rules state that they must accomplish everything within their guild. It’s not allowed for a random nobody like me to do a few quests with Maxim, Trymacs or Hänno or to conquer a dungeon with Sauercrowd.
The Path to Level 60
WoW Classic is enjoyable for me – then as now. Therefore, I generally want to level my rogue further. Also, to see how far I can get in the end. However, due to work and family, my progress in the coming weeks will only be slow.
I have to achieve this goal by March at the latest. Because then WoW: Midnight and Crimson Desert are coming. Feel free to share your hardcore experiences in WoW in the comments: Have you brought one or more characters to level 60? How quickly such a run can go wrong is currently shown by countless clips.

Star Wars is known for its epic lightsaber battles, among other things. Both Jedi and Sith engage in this discipline, and the following 10 belong to the absolute elite.
How was the ranking created? For this list, one thing counts above all: skill with the lightsaber. Other abilities, such as those related to the Force, do not play a role here for now. So, while someone who knows how to handle Force lightning may have an advantage in an actual duel, we are primarily interested in sword technique combined with the personal traits of each character in the ranking.
Important: We focus on fighters from the Star Wars canon. The placements are clearly subjective and can be discussed in the comments. As often, nuances and subjective perceptions decide the outcome.

Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones – Trailer
Rank 10: Kit Fisto
We start this ranking with a Jedi, in line with the motto “still waters run deep.” Kit Fisto may not stand out much at first glance, also because he ranks rather low within Star Wars.
However, the Jedi Master is truly talented with a lightsaber. He fights in the style of Shii-Cho, the first form that ever existed. Compared to later forms, it is simpler and easier, yet that is its strength. Kit Fisto strikes quickly while remaining unpredictable. His strikes are precise and never careless.
As he belongs to the Nautolan people, he excels in underwater combat, and while others might panic in those situations, Kit Fisto remains calm. His thoughtful and reserved nature leads some opponents to underestimate him. He defeated General Grievous in a duel and even held his own against Darth Sidious, whom he was supposed to capture alongside Mace Windu, for some time before the Sith killed him.

In Pokémon GO you can now evolve your Eevee into Sylveon. We will show you the matching name trick and all other ways to achieve the Eevee evolution.
This is Sylveon: This is now the 8th Eevee evolution available in Pokémon GO. Sylveon is a Fairy type and belongs to Generation 6. Since the start of the second phase of the “Illuminating Legends Y” event, you can obtain the new Pokémon – but only through evolution.
The evolution among the 8 Eevee evolutions is always a bit complicated. There is a name trick and also other ways to trigger an evolution. We will show you how it works with Sylveon.
Update from October 22, 2025: We have updated the article for you.

Evolving Sylveon using the name trick – Here’s how
This is the name trick: With the name Kira, you can evolve your Eevee into Sylveon. Additionally, you only need 25 candies for the evolution to work. No other requirements need to be met.
How to use the name trick: Choose a suitable Eevee and change its name. You have to name it Kira. Once you have completed the name change, the shadow of Sylveon will appear at the evolve button, and the evolution can be performed.
However, keep in mind that you can use the name trick only once. After that, you can obtain a Sylveon only through the other method we explain further down in the article.
Only when you see the shadow of Sylveon at the area Evolve should you evolve your Eevee.
Evolving Sylveon as a buddy – Here’s how
How to trigger the evolution: This method is a bit trickier. We’ll show you the requirements step by step:
Take the Eevee you want to evolve and select it as your buddy
With the Eevee as your buddy, you need to earn a total of 70 buddy hearts
Once you’ve achieved that, you can evolve the Eevee into Sylveon while still having it as your buddy
Are there any other ways? No, you can only obtain Sylveon once with the name trick or as often as you like through buddy hearts. However, there are numerous other tricks related to Eevee, so you can obtain all other Eevee evolutions.
The XL Candies in Pokémon GO are a resource in the game. We will show you what they can do, how expensive it is to level up Pokémon with them, and what else you need to know about them.
What are XL Candies anyway? Niantic announced these new candies at the same time as the major winter update for Pokémon GO. The maximum level in the game is Level 50. To achieve this, you also need to use XL Candies.
From Level 1 to 40, you will continue to use Stardust and regular candies for leveling up your Pokémon. After Level 40, you must switch to Stardust and XL Candies.
To ensure you do this correctly and are well prepared, we show you everything you need to know about XL Candy in this guide.
Update from September 18: We have reviewed and structurally adjusted the post.

How to find XL Candies?
This level you must reach: Your trainer must be at least Level 40 to even obtain XL Candies.
XL Candies as a reward: Various activities in Pokémon GO grant you the coveted XL Candies. We list the ones that are already known here for you. However, keep in mind that for most activities, there is no guarantee for the candies. The table shows the possibility of where the candies can be rewarded.
Activity
Possible XL Candies
Catching a Pokémon
0 to 3 XL Candies
Catching a Raid Boss
1 XL Candy
Winning a Dyna Battle
1 XL Candy (2 if you double the rewards for 200 coins)
Trading a Pokémon
1 XL Candy for one or both trainers (The chances are about 10 % and increase with the trading distance)
Hatching a Pokémon (As of December 2020)
Average candies: 2 km Egg: 1 5 km Egg: 3 7 km Egg: 3 10 km Egg: 4 12 km Egg: 4
Sending a Pokémon
1 XL Candy per transfer
Converting regular Pokémon Candies
100 regular candies yield 1 XL Candy
Walking with Buddy Pokémon
1 XL Candy (The higher the level of the Buddy Pokémon, the higher the chance of getting an XL Candy)
Evolving a Pokémon
1 XL Candy
Giving a Berry to Pokémon in Arenas
1 XL Candy
What about Pinap Berries? So far, Pinap Berries have had no effect on the quantity of XL Candies. They did not appear more frequently because of them. The amount of XL Candies was not increased by Pinap Berries.
Exchanging Candies: Anyone who wants can convert their candies into XL Candies. This works at a ratio of 100 to 1. So, 100 regular candies become one XL Candy if you want that. This is especially worthwhile after events like a Community Day when you could collect many hundreds of candies for a species.
You have to expect this: The costs for level-ups are quite high. Since you need to utilize two level-ups for each Pokémon level, a large sum quickly adds up. As the data miners from PokeMiners (via Twitter) show in a graphic, it costs you 250,000 Stardust and 296 XL Candies to bring a Pokémon from Level 40 to Level 50.
In the following table, you can see the Stardust and XL Candy costs from Level 41 onwards.
If you level up a redeemed Pokémon, the costs are slightly reduced. In contrast, the costs for Crypto Pokémon are somewhat increased.

No Rest for the Wicked has received an update on Steam that allows you to play in multiplayer. This not only brings back several players but also, fittingly, the opportunity to test the game for free.
What kind of update is this? The update titled “No Rest for the Wicked Together” now lets you play with up to 4 friends on private realms that save your progress. The difficulty and rewards adjust based on the number of active players in the realm.
Additionally, several improvements and adjustments have been made that came with the introduction of multiplayer. You can find the full patch notes on Steam.
It seems the players were waiting for this, as shortly after the update, around 32,340 concurrent players flooded into the game during the 24-hour peak (see SteamDB, as of January 24, 2026, 12:45 PM). For comparison: that’s how many concurrent players were recorded during the launch of Early Access in April 2024. Back then, it peaked at 36,276. This peak was not reached again, with even just 4,572 concurrent players at the peak in December 2025.
The update has thus drawn nearly 7 times as many players into the world of No Rest for the Wicked as last month. It should also be noted that, in line with the update, you have the opportunity to play the game for free on Steam until January 26, 2026, at 7:00 PM CET. Additionally, the role-playing game is currently 40% off, costing around €23.99 instead of the usual €39.99.
Now, just in time for the weekend, No Rest for the Wicked even reaches a new all-time high with a peak of 50,016 concurrent players (see SteamDB, as of January 24, 2026, 4:06 PM).

No Rest for the Wicked – the new ARPG from the makers of Ori in the trailer
An action RPG from the creators of Ori and the Blind Forest
What kind of game is No Rest for the Wicked? No Rest For The Wicked is the first action role-playing game from Moon Studios, the team behind the acclaimed Ori games. With this title, the developers venture into new genre territory while once again focusing on a distinctive, high-quality visual style that aims to make an impression early on.
While the game initially seems like just another Diablo competitor, the combat system, with its high demands and tactical focus, is much more aligned with the Soulslike genre. According to the official Steam page, it is intended to be an uncompromising, precise action RPG, with which Moon Studios aims to reinterpret the genre.
You can expect the following core features:
Soulslike combat with various difficulty levels
An open, hand-crafted world in the form of an island that evolves continuously
Extensive housing and crafting
A campaign
A huge pile of loot that you can acquire
Co-op with up to 4 players
Since April 18, 2024, the game has been in Early Access and currently holds a rating of “very positive” with 82% positive reviews out of 2,050 ratings in the last 30 days (see Steam, as of January 24, 2026, 1:00 PM).
Fans of a certain anime have been waiting for a continuation for 13 years. However, it has once again been postponed, stretching the patience of fans even further.
Which anime is it about? Puella Magi Madoka Magica is an anime that seems like a sweet story about friendship and magic, but is actually a psychological thriller. A feline creature offers girls a contract and grants them any wish if they become Magical Girls, who must fight witches.
However, the girls soon realize that they are fighting for their very survival. If they fall into despair or exhaust their magic, they themselves become witches. The protagonists therefore try to break free from this cycle and rewrite the system.
Meanwhile, 3 movies have already been released for the anime:
The first part “Beginnings” was released in 2012
In the same year, the second film “Eternal” followed
Only a year later, in 2013, the last part “Rebellion” was released
So, no further part of the series has been released for 13 years. In 2021, however, the fourth part “Walpurgis Night: Rising” was announced. This is supposed to continue the story from the last film “Rebellion.”

Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Walpurgisnacht Rising-: The fourth anime film in the trailer
Fans have been waiting 13 years for a continuation
Why the postponement again? As the team reveals on the official site, the postponement is due to production reasons. Originally, the film was scheduled for February 2026. A new release date is expected to be announced this month.
The fourth film was originally supposed to be released in Winter 2024. The first postponement was to Winter 2025, the second to February 2026. Thus, the current delay is the third.
What do fans say about it? Many fans do not understand how, after so many delays, production reasons can simply be cited as the cause. They demand a more detailed explanation of why the film is postponed again.
A user on X compares it to GTA 6. He refers to Walpurgis Night: Rising as the “GTA 6 of anime movies.” This alludes to the fact that the action game by Rockstar was announced in December 2023, with the original release set for 2025. However, there have also been two delays here.
Fans are therefore pessimistic about a new release date. A user on X even writes that he thinks he will have to wait until 2027. The hopefully final resolution will come in a few weeks.
Due to the delays in Japan, it will unfortunately take quite some time before the film will ultimately be shown in Germany, if at all. To keep you updated on which movies are coming to theaters in Germany this year, you should keep an eye on the following list from MeinMMO: All anime with release dates that will be coming to theaters in Germany in 2026

Parts of the guild management of the WoW event Sauercrowd have recently come under criticism for showing too little dedication. HandOfBlood has now voiced his opinion on Twitch regarding the mood in the community and clarified one thing.
HandOfBlood has now responded to the situation in his own stream on Twitch, primarily addressing the statements made by Metashi.

WoW Classic: The Hardcore Servers Are Here!
“I didn’t like it either”
What does HandOfBlood say? Metashi hinted after the death of his level 58 character in WoW Hardcore that he might stop participating in the event and start playing the Classic version of the expansion “The Burning Crusade” in February.
HandOfBlood makes it clear that he views such a statement critically – especially coming from a guild leader:
“I asked him myself because I didn’t like how he said that, that he said it, because he is also a role model as a guild leader and as captain, you leave the ship last. And I also told him just that. And he replied that he is very sorry, as he is still too inexperienced as an organizer.
HandOfBlood
Metashi’s statement was made in a situation where he was feeling “ultra down” due to his character’s death. This had been very hard for him, but he assured HandOfBlood in their conversation that he would continue: “He’s definitely going to push through and will play the raid, and he is excited about it and will give it his all.”

Apart from the statement, HandOfBlood sees a general problem with the reception of the event.
What is the problem? According to the streamer, there is the challenge that clips from the event are regularly pushed and receive a lot of attention, especially those that show difficulties. This leads to a situation where the event is spoiled for themselves.
And we talk about issues that are not even relevant yet. And we talk them down. That’s so German. Please, let’s not do that. And I also appeal to all other guild members not to get swayed by chatters, even if they are mods.
HandOfBlood
Individual statements can lead to rumors that are not true. HandOfBlood urges the participants of Sauercrowd to speak directly with each other and not to discuss problems through several channels.
In the end, the streamer draws a preliminary conclusion: The project is running wonderfully and is “miles ahead” of his expectations. And looking at the posts on the Sauercrowd Reddit in recent hours, it can be seen that the mood is getting better overall – especially since Papaplatte is showing a lot of motivation again after his character’s death. Correspondingly: Because HandOfBlood does not want to break his own rule in Sauercrowd, he secretly streams WoW on a secondary channel
