The gaming industry is trembling under bad news. Activision Blizzard is firing 1,900 people, the celebrated studios Epic Games and Riot Games must shrink, studios are facing closure or shutting down entirely. But in Regensburg, it seems to be the land of milk and honey for the gaming industry. CipSoft, the company behind the MMORPG Tibia, is posting record numbers and rewarding employees generously.
Here’s what’s special about CipSoft:
CipSoft was founded in 2001 in Regensburg. Like many makers of the MMORPGs of that time, the founders came from the university, where at that time there were powerful computers and a culture of online role-playing games.
While other studios experienced ups and downs, sometimes buying other studios and sometimes being bought themselves, CipSoft remained stable in Regensburg all these years. They did not move to Munich or Berlin but stubbornly developed the MMORPG Tibia, which performed well in Brazil, Poland, and Venezuela, and still does today.
A special aspect: Employees are generously involved in the financial success of the studio.

Making good use of the Corona pandemic but not overly expanding
This is the situation: Since the Corona pandemic in 2020, the MMORPG has been booming.
The astonishing fact: While many international competitors were hiring like crazy during the lockdowns, then having to lay off employees when the pandemic subsided, Tibia remained stable and can even increase the number of employees now.
In May 2024, they had 100 employees in Regensburg for the first time; in the coming months, they plan to hire more.
Revenue increased in 2020, while the number of employees remained stable. A wise decision.
The developers say: They never had more profit than in 2023. Compared to the previous year, they achieved an increase of 21.8% in profit, reaching 14.5 million euros.
Because employees at CipSoft are involved in revenue, they can pay out royalties of 85% of their annual salary, which corresponds to 10 additional monthly salaries.
What the boss says: Stefan Vogler, founder and managing director, says they are lucky to operate a live-service game with Tibia, backed by a loyal community. They have made smart investments at CipSoft and expanded the core team of the game by almost a third.
But with so many bad news from allied studios, the team in Regensburg finds it hard to celebrate their success.
Many MMORPGs are closing, but MMORPGs like Runescape are doing well
What’s behind it: The success of CipSoft ultimately lies in the longevity of their sandbox MMORPG and that they are developing in a niche where there are few alternatives.
Although CipSoft has also tried to start new projects in recent years, they have struggled.
The key to the profitable studio appears to be maintaining stable costs while still being able to increase revenue in recent years.
For some players in Brazil or Poland, Tibia is more than a game; it is rather a way of life. The former students in Regensburg have apparently made some good decisions over the past 23 years.
That these “Top-Down” sandbox MMORPGs are currently booming can also be seen from the fact that OldSchool Runescape and Albion Online are performing much better than other MMORPGs released in recent years, which are being shut down in droves: German MMORPG is booming: Player record on Steam, only WoW is bigger on Twitch

Twitch streamer AnniTheDuck is under fire due to accusations of having abused her cats. Her former best friend Mowky and Reved accuse Anni of mistreating her animals.
What is AnniTheDuck accused of? The first person to accuse the streamer of abusing her cats is her former best friend Mowky in her statement on X.
Also, AnniTheDuck’s ex-girlfriend Reved talks about her experiences with Anni in her Twitch stream and accuses her of having abused her cats as well. Reved emphasizes that it was not about the animals being hit – according to her statement, that was not the case. Rather, she was disturbed by the general treatment of the animals.
You can see how much Reved suffered in her relationship with AnniTheDuck here:
Start video
Reved explains on Twitch how much she suffered in the relationship with Anni The Duck
The cats were treated more like toys
This is how the treatment was supposed to have looked: Reved goes into her statement on Twitch that Anni viewed her animals more as toys. As an example, she cites situations where the cats did not want to cuddle and, according to Reved, were held until they gave in.
The streamer also mentions that there are deleted videos of her ex-girlfriend with the cats available online, which are said to confirm her statements.
Furthermore, Reved reports that a partner of a former employee was supposed to have taken care of the cats and was shocked by their condition. There was reportedly a lot of garbage, boxes, and cat urine in the apartment.
Two of the cats reportedly hated each other deeply
Another issue mentioned by Reved is that two of the cats allegedly hated each other. Daily, tufts of the animals’ fur were reportedly found.
The problem was said to have been so severe that one of the cats was afraid to use the litter box. There was said to be a danger of being attacked by one of the other cats. One of the cats was also claimed to have pulled out its fur out of stress.
Reved reportedly offered to take one of the cats after the breakup, but this was allegedly rejected.
What are the videos that Reved mentioned about? Numerous clips showing the deleted videos of AnniTheDuck and her cats are spreading massively on social media platforms.
In them, you can hear the streamer refer to her animals as a dirty piece of shit. Additionally, it is shown how she pulls her cats towards her and holds their paws to get them to interact with the toys, as the animals seem to have little interest.
Stellar Blade is a new, exclusive action game for the PS5. However, the title does one thing better than many other games. While other games are technically mixed, developer Shift Up delivers a technically flawless title.
PC gamers have had little joy with new releases for several months now. As soon as a title is officially released for PC, the same problems always arise, causing many to shake their heads:
2023 started with Star Wars: Jedi Survivor technically disastrous on Steam, and players are still complaining about the poor performance today.
The PC release of Last of Us was a bug fest with many technical issues.
Hogwarts: Legacy also launched on PC with technical annoyances, and the game is still barely playable smoothly on the Switch.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 struggled with technical problems and severe frame drops at release.
This list of technical problems and broken games could go on indefinitely for 2023 and 2024. The fact is: PC gamers have been frustrated for months with weak PC releases. It’s no wonder that users are warning of a release on reddit and other platforms, saying:
First, wait to see if the game works perfectly technically.
It’s better not to pay 80 euros for a title that the developer hasn’t optimized and that runs terribly on a gaming PC.
And from this perspective, Stellar Blade is a commendable exception, as the game runs technically excellently.
You can convince yourself of Stellar Blade with a trailer:

Stellar Blade is an excellent example of brilliant performance
What makes Stellar Blade different? Unlike games like Star Wars: Jedi Survivor or Dragon’s Dogma 2, Stellar Blade is a game that is perfectly optimized. Stellar Blade runs smoothly on the PS5 without crashes or sudden frame drops.
The colleagues from “Digital Foundry” also explain how impressive this little technical masterpiece really is: The English-language YouTube channel specializes in game engines and hardware and therefore tests games mainly on a technical level. We embed the English-language video here for you:

In their video on YouTube, they explain that they have hardly seen a game that uses Unreal Engine 4 and runs so smoothly and flawlessly. The game not only looks great but also offers strong performance and is absolutely free of errors.
The MeinMMO editorial team has played: In the MeinMMO editorial team, we have also played the game extensively. Our tech editor Benedikt has now spent nearly 20 hours in Shift Up’s action game and believes: Technically, one of the most successful and best games of recent years is being presented here. And you can’t say that about many other releases in recent months. Gameplay-wise, you also get a lot of variety.
Benedikt, who plays on the PS5 with open headphones, also has no sound issues. Such problems are reported by Cortyn, whose article we have embedded for you further down.
It is not so easy to find out who are the most successful German streamers on Twitch. In our list, you will find out to whom most people are giving their money.
Update: We updated the article on May 7, 2024 and adjusted the ranking.
What kind of list is this? In this list, we looked at which streamers on Twitch have the most subscribers. Subscribers are those who have taken out a subscription with the streamers and support them with money. As a thank you, there are mostly only cosmetic things in the chat.
All tiers of subs are counted in the list, including Prime subs, which are free of extra costs. Since not every streamer publishes their numbers, we researched on various sites and the Twitch profiles of the streamers to ensure reliable information as much as possible. However, the number of subs constantly changes.
Therefore, we regularly update this article. The source of the subs, if they are not publicly available, is Twitchtracker.

For eight years, from 2012 to 2020, NoWay was with NNO, and he also achieved the miraculous rise to the first league. But Riot had something against the streamer team, and they eventually had to restart as NNO Prime.

If you don’t know what to watch next after the Fallout adaptation, then the series Silo on Apple TV+ might be just right for you.
What is Silo about? The last 10,000 surviving people live in a silo with 144 floors underground, as the atmosphere on the surface is toxic and extremely deadly.
Within the facility, there are strict rules – violations are rigorously punished by the authorities. However, the young engineer Juliette (played by Rebecca Ferguson) gradually begins to question more and more the system she lives in and uncovers secrets that turn her previous life upside down.
Here you can see a trailer for Silo:

“So far, it’s my favorite series on Apple”
How is the series rated by viewers? Very well. Looking at Rotten Tomatoes, the first season of the series (as of May 7, 2024) has:
88% Tomatometer with 66 reviews
63% Audience Score with over 1000 votes
On IMDb, Silo has a score of 8.1 with 121,392 ratings.
What makes the series so good? According to viewer comments, Silo delivers a compelling and thrilling story that fits perfectly into the dark, uncertain environment of the silo.
Several times, the acting skills of the cast, including Rebecca Ferguson in the lead role, are positively highlighted.
However, it is sometimes noted that the pacing of season 1 is somewhat slow and that there is a lot of unnecessary filler material.
Here we have gathered a few viewer comments about Silo from Rotten Tomatoes:
skylar l: “I can’t wait to continue watching this story. The acting, the sets, and the scripts are just perfect”
Chris T: “Atmospheric, with very strong performances, it is sometimes slow the way it builds the story, but overall a great viewing experience. […] I look forward to seeing where season 2 takes us.”
Craig B: “So far, it’s my favorite series on Apple, I found it quite faithful to the book. Great story and good actors, it really conveys the feeling of living in the silo. I can’t wait to see the rest of the series.”
So if you liked the post-apocalyptic setting, life in bunkers, dark secrets and surprising plot twists, as well as the social commentary in Fallout, you will also enjoy Silo. However, if that’s not enough post-apocalypse for you and you’re looking for more similar series like Fallout, check out this list on MeinMMO. In addition to Silo, you will find other recommendations that share some similarities with the video game adaptation: 7 series like Fallout

Akira Toriyama, the manga artist of Dragon Ball, has inspired many successors with his work. The creator of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, was able to make a great compliment to Toriyama during his lifetime. He was so impressed by two drawings that he repeatedly drew the same body parts.
Which drawings are being talked about? In an interview from 2001, published in One Piece Color Walk number 1, Oda pays a great compliment to his mentor. He stated that he had never seen hands and armpits as well drawn as in Dragon Ball.
There were two scenes that particularly impressed Oda:
Tao Bai Bai, a professional hitman, throws a pillar into the air to travel around on it. His hands, which carry and throw the pillar, greatly impressed Oda.
Ranfan is a female fighter who participates in the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. She employs a curious tactic to defeat her opponent: she strips down to her underwear to confuse them. Oda was particularly interested in her armpits in this scene.
The One Piece manga artist said that he was especially shocked by the hands and armpits in Dragon Ball because they were so well drawn. Toriyama was the first person for him to have drawn these body parts well.
So we owe the hands and armpits in One Piece to Dragon Ball. See for yourself with the following video:
Start video
One Piece: New trailer shows first images from the Egghead Island arc
The One Piece creator only drew hands and armpits
What was the consequence? Oda then only drew armpits and hands. We probably have Toriyama to thank for the fact that the hands and armpits in One Piece became so good. This allowed Oda to even dress the characters in sleeveless clothing without worrying about drawing the armpits.
A tweet from PiccoDamayonaiz shows one of the two scenes that Oda was so excited about:

How did Toriyama react to the compliment? The Dragon Ball creator initially did not respond to the compliment, but rather to a teasing remark from Oda. The One Piece manga artist mentioned that Toriyama had forgotten many of his characters.
In earlier interviews, Toriyama himself admitted that he had completely forgotten characters like Lunch. He therefore wrote her an ending at a later date. Characters like Yajirobi also temporarily disappeared without a trace because Toriyama apparently forgot them.
Toriyama defended himself in the interview by stating that Tao Bai Bai was not a very important character. However, he could still remember during the interview that he at least drew him.
Either way, the interview shows how close Oda and Toriyama were. It also gives us insight into how much Toriyama influenced other shonen stories with the Dragon Ball manga. Even if it’s just through hands and armpits.
When you look at the biggest German streamers on Twitch, you see 19 entertainers like MontanaBlack, Papaplatte, or Trymacs and one e-sports player. Who is the lonely gamer among the biggest German streamers?
Who are the top 20 German Twitch streamers? When you sort the German streamers on Twitch by followers, you see 17 streamers and with Honeypuu and Reved two female streamers, who broadly belong to the category of “entertainers”:
Other streamers like Rewinside (6), Gronkh (10), or Unge (12) have been around for many years.
Among the top 20 are many talented gamers. BastiGHG (8) is considered an expert in Minecraft, EliasN97 (5) is known for his play in FIFA, but one stands out from the crowd of entertainers due to his gaming qualities.
MontanaBlack is by far the largest German Twitch streamer with 5.3 million followers:
Start video
Career and Life of MontanaBlack in 2 Minutes: What Makes Him Unique?
A professional e-sports player is among the top 20 and he plays Fortnite
This is probably the best gamer: In 7th place with 1.83 million followers is 19-year-old Kevin “Letshe” Fedjuschkin:
Letshe has earned 181,254 euros in prize money with Fortnite, is an active e-sports player for the European top team G2, and even participated in the Fortnite World Cup in 2019, where he achieved 32nd place in singles and won 50,000 US dollars, to this day his largest prize money.
When the hype around Fortnite was over, Letshe came
How did he become so successful? Letshe’s career is unusual for a Fortnite streamer because the Fortnite hype was actually at its peak in 2018 and 2019. At that time, the now 19-year-old played hardly any role on Twitch:
In 2018, he had an average of seven viewers on Twitch
In 2019, it was nearly 900
He was apparently too young to really take off – this phenomenon can also be seen in the USA. While young Fortnite players can certainly be successful in the game, they only become truly relevant on Twitch when they are a bit older.
Letshe had his breakthrough in the late phase of Fortnite in 2020. At that time, he averaged 5,000 viewers and gathered a million followers. By then, the most successful German Fortnite streamers like Trymacs or MontanaBlack had largely left the game.
But after this peak year, in which he fully rode the hype, interest in Fortnite gradually waned, and the channel of Letshe shrank over the years, although the followers continued to grow slowly but steadily.
The best gamer among the top 20 also has the fewest viewers
In 2024, this leads to the strange situation that Letshe, with 1.8 million followers, has a larger channel than, for example, BastiGhG, Amar, or Gronkh on Twitch, but reaches only a fraction of their viewers.
While BastiGHG averages 6,470 viewers with Minecraft and EliasN97 even 23,120, Letshe only gets around 570.

In Elden Ring there are 101 summons, but only a fraction belongs to the best of the best. We therefore show you the 9 best summons in the entire game with locations to forge your hero into a true saint.
What are summons? In Elden Ring, in addition to mystical sorcery, there are holy summons. Summons are miracles that usually possess healing or supportive functions. They can increase your attack power, make you more resilient, or throw deadly effects like lightning at opponents.
If you want to build a holy paladin, you should rely on some summons to crush opponents. However, since Elden Ring has 101 summons, it is hard to know which of them are worthwhile in a build. Therefore, we have selected the best summons and listed them with their locations.
The result of our list comes from many attempts in the game, our experience combined with opinions from the community. Feel free to leave your thoughts and suggestions in the comments.

Suddenly, however, it became relatively quiet around Spitz, which caused many players to worry about the popular community manager. Recently, he reappeared on Discord. A player responded: Oh God, I thought you were fired or something. Spitz then replied: Almost. Not quite.
He further states that it was not a good decision to advise the community to engage in review bombing and refunds, at least with the publisher backing them. As 3DJuegos reports, Spitz is glad he acted this way despite the problems. This whole situation has only made me like my job, the team, and the community even more.
For the time being, things ended well both for the players and for Spitz. The players are rid of the PSN mandate and Spitz seems to still have his job. Helldivers 2 has maintained a strong connection to the community from the very beginning. This is also demonstrated by the way they handle Joel: Helldivers 2: Who is Joel? – What’s behind the man who determines the fate of Over-Earth

Hardware is often found in the trash. This find is even a surprisingly strong upgrade of an old PC.
A gamer got lucky and found a gaming PC in the trash around the corner. And the hardware installed is surprisingly good. So good that some are wondering why the device ended up in the trash.
Mid-range PC from 2018 ended up in the trash and everyone is wondering why
What hardware is in the found computer? The user shares on Reddit several pictures and provides the specific specifications of the individual components:
CPU: Intel i9-9900k
GPU: RTX 2070 Ti
RAM: 16 GB, Corsair Vengeance Pro 4000MHz
Cooler: Noctua D15
Motherboard: MSI z390 A Pro.
Power Supply: Seasonic Prime TX-850, 80+ Titanium
At first glance, the hardware is already a few years old. The Intel CPU was released at the end of 2018, and the RTX 2070 Ti was also released at the end of 2018. However, even though some components are already 6 years old, they are still powerful enough for gaming today.
The gamer himself adds that this PC should even be an upgrade compared to his old PC. Both the processor, RAM, and power supply are significantly better, but the graphics card is worse than his old one. The finder has installed an RTX 3090 – at least if the components shared by the user are correct. He himself writes:
Honestly, most of the parts are better than what I have in my current system. It’s just crazy what people throw away.
Why do people throw away such hardware? We can only speculate about that.
Some speculate that “mean” parents wanted to punish their child and threw the computer in the trash.
Another adds that a friend always checks the trash bins in university towns. Many rich students throw away their electronics because they don’t want to deal with the return transport.
A third jokes: If a different power supply had been installed, it could have been his old PC that his wife threw in the trash.
Is it worth playing with old hardware? Generally, old hardware is often still powerful enough for work or gaming. In particular, an old RTX 2070 Ti still offers enough performance today and even supports features like DLSS.
However, with very old components, the benefits quickly diminish. Upgrading very old components is also rarely worthwhile and there are good reasons for that:
Old components are usually no longer manufactured because they have reached their production end, known as “End of Life” (EoL). Such replacement parts can sometimes be more expensive than simply buying new, modern components. 7 upgrades for your gaming PC that you should definitely not buy

It is a game that has shaped a generation: SimCity 4. The Deluxe Edition of this city-building milestone is available for 5 € on Steam for about another week. In the reviews, it is said to be a game that has defined lives. Meanwhile, city-building simulations like Manor Lords are currently experiencing a surge.
What kind of game is SimCity 4?
The fourth SimCity was released in 2003 for PC and was the successor to SimCity 3000.
The SimCity games reached their peak in the eyes of most fans with SimCity 4. It received 84% on Metacritic, while later titles in the series were rated significantly worse by the press. SimCity 4 is known for the depth of its simulation.
The Deluxe version is now available on Steam. It costs 5 €, 75% less than usual.
A current representative of the city-building genre and a top seller on Steam, Manor Lords:

SimCity 4 is a game that has accompanied players throughout their lives
What do the reviews say? SimCity 4 has a “very positive” rating on Steam with 80% positive reviews.
In the reviews, it stands out that some players with over 1,000 hours of playtime praise the game:
A player with 1,306 hours in SimCity 4 writes: “I have played this game for almost my entire life, and I intend for it to stay that way.”
A player with 2,530 hours raves that SimCity 4 is the best game of all time. He says that being able to still play this game after 20 years shows how great it is. One could build large cities that consist only of small towns. In SimCity 4, one can simply let their creativity run wild and build.
And these are just the players who have so many hours in the Steam version. In many other reviews, players clearly state how much time they have spent with SimCity 4, even in other versions.
Why might this game be particularly worthwhile? The city-building genre is very popular, as currently seen with Manor Lords. However, there is a lack of major new releases. The highly anticipated Cities: Skylines 2 has thus far been a complete disappointment: A new DLC is now the lowest-rated game on Steam

Anyone who enjoys MMORPGs has had little to laugh about in recent years. Since Lost Ark in 2022, no major new MMORPG has launched in the West. Games like Throne and Liberty, Tarisland, or Ashes of Creation are still awaited: But a new MMORPG has successfully launched in 2024, Ravendawn. And they are now planning a new update.
What kind of game is Ravendawn?
Ravendawn is an open-world sandbox MMORPG that launched for PC on January 16. The game is available only on its own client, not on Steam.
The game launched significantly more successfully than expected. However, it seems that Ravendawn Online has run out of steam just a few months after the release. Players criticized a housing system that didn’t work (via reddit) – by March, the hype had virtually disappeared, as the data from Google Trends shows.
The developers are now planning to counteract this with a new update.

Developers plan major update with many features:
This is the new update: Originally, a PvP update called Aether Rifts was planned. The update has now been expanded further and will introduce PvE elements alongside the new PvP systems (via ravendawn).
The new PvP systems are:
Guild Wars
Forts and Castles
Aether Rifts for 1v1 or 2v2 battles
For PvE, they are planning:
An improved target system
A revised aggro system that allows tanks to shine
Epic world bosses
And group-focused boss fights
The developers promise that the update will really be worth the wait. They are working hard to provide the community with a great experience.
In the coming weeks, they plan to release more teasers about the update every Tuesday until it is finally ready to launch.
Why isn’t there any news about the MMORPG? Here in the West, in the English-speaking world, the MMORPG Ravendawn Online plays only a minor role, partly because it lacks a release on Steam.
Ravendawn Online is also in the same tradition as the German MMORPG Tibia.
There is a separate MMORPG market for these games, so to speak, a third market alongside the West and Asia: These games focus on Brazil, Poland, and Venezuela. Therefore, the Ravendawn homepage is available in 3 languages: English, Portuguese, and Polish.
A new role-playing game on Steam should particularly catch the attention of players who miss their favorite RPGs from the 2000s. Which game we mean, you will find out here.
What game are we talking about? Dread Delusion is a new RPG on Steam. Developed by the studio Lovely Hellspace, the game has been in Early Access since June 2022. However, the full release with version 1.0 is scheduled for May 14, 2024.
The game is inspired by Morrowind, and not only players who miss their old RPGs from the 2000s should take a look at Dread Delusion. Fans of The Elder Scrolls or Bloodborne are also expected to enjoy this new role-playing game.
In line with the release, a new trailer shows what you can expect in Dread Delusion:
Start video
Dread Delusion verlässt den Early-Access auf Steam
What makes this game special? When watching the trailer, the first aspect that stands out, reminiscent of earlier RPGs, is the graphics. Of course, it doesn’t represent the latest and greatest or seem particularly exciting or overwhelming technically, but that was likely the developers’ goal.
Players shouldn’t be deterred by this graphics. Because Dread Delusion has impressed previous players mainly with its concept and unique atmosphere. And just when watching the trailer, one wonders what is happening in this world with a constantly red sky, a giant and ominous asteroid, and some really strange creatures.
You explore this open world with your character, which you can customize to your own play style, in first-person perspective. In the trailer, you can see how you can defend against enemy attacks with spells. With a bit of alchemy, you should also be able to transform rusty swords into a powerful, masterfully forged sword.
During your journey, you must find your way through the flying continents of the land and can even travel around in your own airship.
Players want more of the game finally
What do the players say? Dread Delusion has already been in Early Access for two years and has received 92% positive ratings since then. As previously mentioned, players particularly praise the consistent atmosphere of the game.
“The worst thing about this game is that there is no more of it,” writes a user in their review on Steam. However, with the full release, that could certainly change. Another user describes the game as an absolute fever dream, but with a positive review, it’s probably meant only in the best sense.
Another user summarizes their experience with Dread Delusion with the following words: “It feels like playing a modernized PS1 game, with Elder Scrolls mechanics. It has a very unique style and a story set in a broken world with ancient horror and horrific magic.” This user likely gave their positive review for exactly those reasons.

The family of Son-Goku is truly powerful and can deal a lot of damage. However, we have never seen little Pan as an adult fighter. One fan has changed that.
Who is Pan? Pan is the daughter of Son-Gohan and thus the granddaughter of Son-Goku and his wife Chichi. Her mother is Videl, the daughter of Mr. Satan. This means Pan has practically been born with the martial arts gene:
Thanks to Son-Gohan, she is a quarter Saiyan and could even transform into a Super Saiyan with enough training and experience. Through her grandmother Chichi, grandfather Mr. Satan, and mother Videl, she has also inherited great fighting potential from her human side.
Not to mention the many extremely powerful fighters she grows up around: Vegeta, Piccolo, or even Majin Buu.

High Potential – This is what she might look like
How does the artist envision Pan? The Chilean artist salvamakoto depicted Pan as he imagines her as an adult woman in her prime as a fighter:
In the image, Pan is wearing a red-black fighter outfit and seems to be in front of an audience. Her facial expression resembles that of her mother, while she has Son-Gohan’s eye color.
Where has Pan officially appeared so far? In the Dragon Ball manga, she first appears at the end: As a 4-year-old girl, she shows up in the original manga version of Dragon Ball Z. Here, she faces her uncle Son-Goten and seems to win even.
At the end of the anime Dragon Ball GT, which is no longer considered canon, she visits a martial arts tournament as an approximately 110-year-old woman.
Most recently, Pan has had several appearances again in the official canon: In Dragon Ball Super, around the storyline based on the movie Battle of the Gods, Videl is pregnant, and Pan is mentioned for the first time. Later, baby Pan causes all sorts of mischief. She is an important part of the following adventures.
So Pan has already had various appearances, but never as an adult woman and fighter. Although it is clear that she has huge potential, we have unfortunately never seen her in her best form.
What do you think? Could Pan become a really powerful fighter as a teenager and adult? Will she perhaps even become a Super Saiyan? Let us know in the comments.

On May 5, 2024, Bernard Hill passed away. The actor was seen as King Théoden in “The Lord of the Rings.” The four actors of the Hobbits remembered their old colleague on the same day.
Which actor is being talked about? Bernard Hill’s performances as King Théoden will remain unforgettable. The leader of Rohan appeared in parts two and three of Peter Jackson’s adaptation of the famous Tolkien epic “The Lord of the Rings.”
Other well-known works of the British actor include “Titanic,” “The Bounty,” and “Conspiracy of Women.”
Bernard Hill passed away on May 5, 2024, at the age of 79. However, he will be remembered by his fellow actors. Just a few hours after the news of his death became public, the actors of the four Hobbits paid tribute to the deceased.

“We have lost a member of our family”
What do the actors of the Hobbits say? At the Liverpool Comic Con on May 5, the four Hobbit actors appeared. Elijah Wood (Frodo), Sean Astin (Sam), Dominic Monaghan (Merry), and Billy Boyd (Pippin) wanted to take a moment just before the end of their panel to remember Bernard Hill.
They spoke about his death, and Sean Astin said at the microphone that the four wanted to take a moment to talk about Hill.
“We love him. He was fearless, funny, rough…” said Astin, and Elijah Wood added with a smile that Hill was also “irascible.”
Subsequently, Pippin actor Billy Boyd took the microphone, pointed at Dominic Monaghan, and said:
We watched the films, and I said to Dom: I believe no one spoke Tolkien’s words as well as Bernard. He broke my heart and soul. He was a wonderful man and will be very missed.

Who else remembered Hill? The Hobbits also remembered their old friend on their social media channels. For example, Dominic Monaghan via Instagram.
Richard Armitage, who played Thorin Oakenshield in the “Hobbit” films, also posted a message on X. Numerous fans and lovers of Hill’s works joined in.
Although the actor had appeared in numerous very different films since 1976, he will likely be remembered most as King Théoden.
He was not the first member of the film family to pass away. Christopher Lee (Saruman), Ian Holm (Bilbo), and Alan Howard (the voice of Sauron) have also left this world for the immortal lands.
A specific quest from Fallout 76 makes life difficult for players. However, it is anything but spectacular. On the contrary: it is closer to the real world than we would like.
Which quest is it? The main quest “Boot Camp Blues” is done for the Steel Brotherhood. What this faction is about has been explained in a separate article for you.
To join the Brotherhood as a full member, you first have to complete this quest. The goal is to pick up a military ID from the town hall, the Capitol Building in the city of Charleston. Sounds easy, right?
However, players are then faced with a real gauntlet of bureaucracy. You will be sent from A to B to C, and back to A in the best bureaucratic manner. How exactly this looks is summarized by MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus in a column.

The community loves and hates the quest equally
How is the quest received by the players? Thanks to the still ongoing hype around the entire Fallout series, numerous new players have come into contact with the quest again.
And just like Benedict noted in his column, players are as annoyed with the quest as they are captivated. While it can be frustrating and generate real hatred towards bureaucracy, on the other hand, that seems to have been the developers’ goal.
The quest was meant to be annoying – just like the bureaucracy in our real world. At the same time, it also provides laughs in its virtual version and remains memorable.
On Reddit, user shinnith summarized his impression succinctly. He writes: ‘This DMV quest is really making me lose my mind.’
Some of the comments under the post also go in the same direction. However, they are not all negative. Many players recognize the good game design that underlies the quest:
“If you’re lucky, you do this at the same time as two other players and have to stand in line too,” writes user kn0ck0utm0se.
“If quests are measured by their ability to elicit an emotional response, this is one of the best quests in the game,” says GorkyParkSculpture.
“I loved this quest for how stupid it was,” says Pinambo.
“It works the way it’s supposed to,” writes miletharil.
“I complained about this quest in this forum years ago. I’m glad the tradition continues,” says Feeling_Glovely.
And how it continues. In fact, there are always new players who are confronted with the unusual quest. Some of them can laugh about it and recognize the typical humor of the Fallout series.
The mangaka of Attack on Titan has released a new special chapter called “Bad Boy”. In volume 35, there is more information about the backstory of Levi Ackermann. In the manga volume, we also learn where Levi got one of his strangest habits from.
What habit is it? Levi Ackermann has a strange way of drinking tea. He holds the cup by the rim instead of the handle. In the manga and anime, it is never explained why the Titan Slayer drinks his tea this way. Since the mangaka is currently working on other projects, it is all the more delightful that he clarifies this peculiarity with what seems to be a final special volume.
The reason for this lies in his past, which we now learn more about in the new manga volume. He used to enjoy drinking tea with his mother. In all the poverty, she was his only support. Unfortunately, his mother passed away when Levi was still young.
What happens next can be seen in the tweet from NightmareUz2:

Throughout volume 35, he prepares tea for himself after the death of his mother Kuchel Ackermann. A cup falls to the floor because it breaks right at the handle. This is particularly sad because it is the tea set of his deceased mother. Levi then swears never to touch a cup by the handle again.
Here you can see the beginnings of Attack on Titan in the trailer:

Levi Ackermann had a sad childhood
What new things do we learn about Levi Ackermann? It is no wonder that the mangaka Hajime Isayama chose Levi’s backstory. After all, he is the most popular character in Japan (according to a survey translated in the reddit forum) and we learn very little about him.
The manga provides us with a bit more information:
Levi Ackermann grew up underground and was raised by Kenny Ackermann. Before joining the Titan Hunters, he was a criminal.
Every Ackermann awakens their powers when they are close to death and want to protect something important. This is also true for Levi: When he tries to reclaim his mother’s tea set from criminals, he is beaten so severely that his powers awaken and he kills the thieves.
Kenny Ackermann then leaves the boy. Levi fights his way through the underground until he joins the Survey Corps.
In the special volume, Levi Ackermann tells the story of his colleague Gabi Braun, as we know from the fourth season of the anime. Gabi had mocked how Levi holds his teacup. But when she hears his backstory, she swears to hold her cup the same way from now on.
Unfortunately, no English version has been announced yet. The special chapter consists of a total of 18 pages. Whether there will be another special volume like this in the future has not been revealed by the mangaka. The current volume was released three years after the official end of Attack on Titan.
Blizzard has planned some changes after the PTR for Season 4 of Diablo 4. This is thanks to player feedback. One of these changes: Masterworking can no longer fail. The community is responding extremely positively to this.
The idea is: You collect materials and use them to upgrade found items to perfect them. Items have fewer but stronger affixes in Season 4, and through Tempering and Masterworking, you customize the items to your preferences.
This is what Blizzard is changing now: On the PTR, Masterworking had a chance to fail. This meant: You could use materials, and with some bad luck, they could all disappear without achieving the desired effect.
For most players, this would be quite annoying, as farming the materials is extremely time-consuming in the long run. In the large interview about Season 4, the developers revealed that this grind will constitute a large part of the gameplay loop in the endgame.
There is no longer a chance of failure with Masterworking.
The change may seem small at first, but it brings great joy to the community. Because they feel heard and say: Finally, their time is respected again.
The developers have already summarized in a video what they learned from the PTR:

“I want to see big numbers and great loot, not fail due to RNG”
In a thread on Reddit, hundreds of users participated in the discussion about the change. It was stated that the failure chance with Masterworking had been a major issue.
People want to have fun in Diablo and not waste their time. The original system was terrible: “That’s the kind of time-wasting, that crap that does not respect your time, that we beg to be removed.”
However, the discussion goes a little further, as at least the expert Raxxanterax is said to have criticized the new change. For him, the game is now “easier,” which has led to great misunderstanding in the community.
Professional players might have all day to farm materials and try repeatedly to upgrade an item. The casual player does not have that time, and even if they do, they do not want to invest it. A similar discussion recently arose about big numbers and OP builds: Experts demand that the heroes in Diablo 4 be made weaker.

In League of Legends, runes are one of the strongest pillars for the various champions and their builds. However, runes can also be too strong and define the meta. One of the strongest runes in LoL will be removed in the next patch.
With the next patch 14.10, Riot is removing two familiar runes. The first is Predator, a rather unremarkable rune, likely removed due to low popularity. It gets more interesting with Lethal Tempo.
With Lethal Tempo, you gain attack speed when you attack enemy champions
This is possible with up to 6 stacks
Once you reach 6 stacks, you gain additional attack range, and your attack speed has no limit until you lose the stacks
The rune is not only interesting for ADCs but also for melee champions like Master Yi, Yasuo, or Tryndamere. These champions can also utilize the attack speed, and especially the improved range is incredibly useful.
Looking at the statistics on U.GG, you can see that the rune is very successful on certain champions. In Emerald and higher, Kog’Maw has a very good win rate of 53.1%. Tryndamere also has a win rate of 51.23% with the rune. The next patch on 15.05.2024 will remove it. Many players from the community think that’s really good.

One of the best changes ever
On Reddit, user HotButteryPopcorn- posted a thread titled: The Lethal Tempo removal is one of the best changes ever. In it, the user explains that he thinks this change is really good. The biggest argument is that this rune has removed many weaknesses from champions. Champions that were weak at the start of the game become stronger through the rune.
Fun is also a significant factor for the user, as according to him, it is simply not fun to play against many Lethal Tempo champions.
The thread is being actively discussed on Reddit. Some agree with the opinion but also believe that some champions will struggle due to the removal:
Jung05: I’m curious how it will be replaced. As a Master Yi abuser, I hope there are some viable alternatives.
Skeletoonz: Yes, that’s good, and I even support the removal of LT.
pandemicv97: I can’t judge this right now, as someone who plays a lot with marksmen, I have to wait and see what will happen in the current patch. It could fix some issues with Yone/Yasuo or other melee champs.
How will the meta change? This cannot be said right now. Many of the strong and popular ADCs successfully use this rune. Therefore, the bot lane will particularly be affected by this change. At the same time, changes to the bot lane can also be relevant for other lanes. If AP is played again in the bot lane, then more AD is needed elsewhere.
The melee champions in the other lanes will still have good options with Conqueror or Press the Attack. These melee champions are especially disliked in lower ranks. However, many LoL players would also like to return to lower ranks: LoL players miss their times in lower ranks: “I regret getting better”

When does the Spotlight Hour start? As usual, the Spotlight Hour starts at 6:00 PM and will run until 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are active? Today, there will be a bonus for sending Pokémon during the Spotlight Hour. If you send Pokémon to the Professor during the event, you will receive double the amount of candies for it.
Can you catch Shiny Nockchan and Kicklee? Yes. If you’re lucky, you may also encounter the Shiny variants of both Pokémon today.
Is the Spotlight Hour worth it? Neither Nockchan nor Kicklee are particularly strong attackers. They are neither suitable for use in the Battle Leagues nor are they among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
If you’re after Shiny Pokémon, this event could be an opportunity for you. Although the chances of finding Shiny variants are not increased during the event, the large number of spawns gives you better chances of encountering a Shiny specimen.
If you have accumulated some Pokémon in your Pokémon box that you want to send to the Professor, the Spotlight Hour is ideal. With the candy bonus for sending, you will receive not just 1, but 2 candies per Pokémon.
