Dynamax-Regirock in Pokémon GO: The best counters against the boss

What other problems are there? The hidden Nazi symbols are just one of many problems that there were at the developer Deck Nine, as the report reveals.

Several developers reported that women were rarely considered for promotions. It always required the support of dozens of employees and letters to the HR department for women to be even nominated for promotions.

At the same time, there is much criticism of one of the former heads of the team, who allegedly approached women with “love bombing” and then wanted to exploit his position of power over them.

Furthermore, there is talk of a lot of “crunch.” Many employees report that they had to put in between 60 and 80 hours a week for a month straight to complete the production of the game and meet otherwise impossible deadlines.

The whole (very, very long) report from IGN is worth a look not only for fans of Life is Strange.

The next part of “Life is Strange” will soon be presented in more detail. But all these reports cast a dark shadow on a developer whose games stand for exactly the opposite of what seems to be happening behind the scenes.

Life is Strange: True Colors was also criticized upon release – back then due to a Tibetan flag that caused review bombing.

This is why the Reacher star wants to play one of the most well-known DC heroes ever

Marie Friske 6. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Alan Ritchson, who played the lead role in the Amazon series Reacher, is seen by many as a fitting candidate for Batman. He recently expressed in an interview why he would like to play the Dark Knight.

A new film featuring Batman: The Brave and The Bold, directed by James Gunn, will be released in the DC Universe.

However, it is not yet known who will play the lead role. Many fans believe that Reacher star Alan Ritchson would be perfect for the role – and he seems to be enthusiastic about the idea.

Here you can see a trailer for the Amazon hit Reacher:

“I want to be Bruce Wayne!”

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on April 3, 2024, the question arose whether he would prefer to play the hero Batman or the villain Joker. Alan Ritchson replied that Joaquin Phoenix already embodies the Joker well.

However, he would immediately take on the role of Batman. Enthusiastically, he said: “I would love to play Batman, I said it! Okay, I will shout it from the rooftops: ‘I want to be Bruce Wayne!'”

The 41-year-old further explained why he finds the role of the hero so interesting. For him, it’s less about physical strength and more about Batman’s cognitive power:

The thing about Batman is – do you know what his superpower is? Intelligence: The guy is the smartest superhero out there.

He is resourceful and has all sorts of gadgets, but he is super smart. I want to be that guy and also have a cave with hypercars, sports cars, and cool motorcycles.

How gold sellers at WoW betrayed their own colleagues to make your accounts safer

Cortyn 6. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Gold sellers in World of Warcraft are unscrupulous – but also busy people. Once, they revealed a hack to Blizzard to make more profit.

Often, one would like to know what everyday life at Blizzard looks like. Curious incidents during development or strange events regarding player account security. Luckily, there is a former developer who shares insider information. He recently revealed how a gold seller disclosed one of the most dangerous security vulnerabilities to protect his business.

Who is he? The YouTuber known as “Pirate Software” is actually named Jason Hall and has worked for some huge companies in the past – mainly Blizzard Entertainment and Amazon. He primarily worked in cyber security, focusing on the safety of websites, games, and accounts. He has now grown tremendously on Twitch and his shorts are suggested to many people daily.

What happened at Blizzard? A few years ago, there was a problem with account security in World of Warcraft. Although two-factor authentication (“2FA”) had been introduced early on, requiring players to confirm their login with a physical or digital authenticator, it was not enough.

The security team at Blizzard received reports from the community managers. A player had been hacked – even though he had 2FA activated. Hall initially found this strange, but the problem escalated. In the next report, there were already 5 accounts with 2FA activated, then even 200. The number of hacked accounts was rising rapidly.

For dubious gold sellers (or “hackers”), it was possible to circumvent this security measure and gain access to foreign accounts.

Traditionally, accounts were hacked (and still are) to steal the gold players earned and then sell it. Both actions are, of course, prohibited.

WoW Goblin Cry Gold Crossed Sanctum of Domination title — Many players lost their gold back then when their accounts were taken over by scammers.

Why did gold sellers reveal the trick? As so often: money. Once the gold sellers knew how to circumvent the security of 2FA, the number of daily hacked accounts continued to rise. This, in turn, flooded the market with more WoW gold, which was sold by the gold sellers, thereby driving down the price of WoW gold.

One of the largest gold sellers believed that this was a short-term strategy. With the falling gold prices, they would not be able to profit for long. So he took the next logical step:

The gold seller went into the official Blizzard forum and revealed how his colleagues managed to circumvent 2FA. He requested that this security hole be closed quickly so that he could “earn a living from his work” – work that is actually prohibited according to WoW rules.

After Nostalrius came WoW Classic, now the end of Turtle WoW must lead to WoW Classic Plus

Blizzard wins lawsuit against Turtle WoW, forcing the largest private server for Classic Plus to settlement

Sometimes, you may not lose your account to hackers – but because you are just too nice.

Ultimately, Hall and his team managed to close the security gap through this tip and prevent even more players from getting hacked.

This is probably one of the most curious incidents. At the same time, it is likely one of the few stories where the calls of “Blizzard is working with gold sellers” are indeed justified.

Lastly, Hall offers a tip: If a company asks you to change your password, then do it. Simply using the same password again is a pretty dumb idea.

Pokémon GO: 5 things you should do this weekend

Max Handwerk 6. April 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

It’s worth playing Pokémon GO on the weekend, because: you can secure some useful monsters and bonuses.

What’s happening this weekend? On April 6th and 7th, it might be worth planning a Pokémon GO walk or two, at least if the weather cooperates and is somewhat friendly.

Because: Several events are happening this weekend, bringing along some cool monsters. You should grab them if you have the chance.

Here you’ll find everything interesting at a glance in the overview.

What’s happening this weekend in Pokémon GO?

There are five things you should do or pay attention to this weekend.

Catch Katagami

Pokémon-GO-Katagami — Katagami, the Ultra Beast (Image source: pokemon.com)

Since April 9th, Katagami can be caught in raids in the Northern Hemisphere, including here. It will stay until April 12th, so catching it this weekend is a good idea. Because: You shouldn’t miss out on Katagami, the Ultra Beast is one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO overall. In fact, Katagami is even the strongest Grass-type attacker, aside from Mega Sceptile.

Kaguron is still in raids, but only in the Southern Hemisphere. For the Ultra Beast, you would need to use a remote raid and be invited accordingly. However, Kaguron is noticeably less useful than Katagami.

The best counters against Katagami can be found here.

Crypto Raids with Entei

This weekend, you can also take on the 5-star Crypto Raids, where you will encounter Entei. It appears on Saturday and Sunday. The monster is not easy to defeat, so team up with multiple trainers and bring plenty of revives, otherwise the raid is hardly doable.

As a reward, you get one of the top Fire attackers, which is a strong counter against Katagami.

Community Day Classic with Kindwurm

On Sunday, April 7th, the C-Day Classic will take place featuring the Dragon Pokémon Kindwurm. If you don’t have one yet or are looking for a stronger specimen, you should mark this date. Because: Brutalanda is one of the top attackers in the game, especially in the Dragon category.

If you already have a good Brutalanda, you can still secure a better specimen or the necessary candies for leveling. Additionally, the shiny chance is greatly increased, and you will earn triple catch XP.

The guide to the Community Day Classic with Kindwurm can be found here.

Collect Twitch Code for Research

This weekend, the Pokémon European Championship is also taking place in London. In connection with this, there are Twitch streams where you can receive a code as a Twitch drop that gives you a research task with six PvP Pokémon.

You can find all the information here: How to get the free research for Pokémon GO on Twitch.

Appropriate Surprises to take advantage of

The event ‘Appropriate Surprises’ runs only until April 9, 2024. This weekend, you have a good opportunity to make use of the event bonuses.

What’s particularly exciting is that you have an increased chance for XXS and XXL Pokémon. This could be interesting for future showcases, where the size value is often decisive. Additionally, during this time, there is:

An increased shiny chance for Wailmer
Double XP when catching (except when the C-Day with Kindwurm is active. In that case, the triple XP counts.)

After that, it continues directly with scheduled events in the game. You can find our overview here: All events in April 2024 in Pokémon GO.

13 year old classic dominates the top 5 best time travel animes

Jasmin Beverungen 6. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Time travel plays a role not only in real series but also in the anime genre. A character travels to a different era, usually with a specific goal. Currently, Steins;Gate, which is from 2011, is at the top of the best time travel animes.

What is the basis of the ranking? Steins;Gate has landed in 1st place on the anime site MyAnimeList with a rating of 9.07. In the overall ranking of the best animes, the anime even reaches 3rd place, only Frieren and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are better.

The database includes all animes, and there are many users who can give ratings for the series and films. For Steins;Gate, for example, 2.6 million votes were cast, for the positions below, it’s at least 240,000. Since the votes are calculated with the rating, the ranking can be considered representative.

It is noticeable that Steins;Gate appears twice in the top 5 best time travel animes. The anime otherwise faces the following competition:

2nd Place: Gintama the Movie 2 – 8.90
3rd Place: Link Click – 8.68
4th Place: The Tatami Galaxy – 8.56
5th Place: Steins;Gate 0 – 8.53

Other well-known time travel animes like Erased, Inu Yasha, or Tokyo Revengers can only be found in the lower ranks. However, since the ranking updates twice a day, it could be that they slip to other places over time.

Steins;Gate is a time travel classic that fans of the genre should definitely watch:

In Steins;Gate, messages are sent using the microwave

Why is Steins;Gate so good? For many fans, Steins;Gate is considered a masterpiece. In the comments on MyAnimeList, the reviews particularly highlight the following aspects:

The well-thought-out story
The recognizable characters and their development
The emotions that the anime evokes

However, there is also some criticism: The timeline theme is said to be as complex as in Inception, where dreams are embedded within dreams. Furthermore, the story is described as predictable and nothing new in the realm of time travel.

What is Steins;Gate about? The scientist Rintarou Okabe has managed to convert a microwave into a time machine. He uses the machine to send messages to the past. What he doesn’t realize is that he is changing his own timeline!

This leads to several deaths that the scientist now tries to undo. As if that weren’t enough of a problem, the SERN organization becomes aware of his time travel activities. For Rintarou, a literal race against time begins.

Steins;Gate 0 takes place in the same universe. However, it is an alternative timeline. Since we don’t want to go into detail about which timeline this is due to spoilers, we recommend that you watch the anime yourself.

Thanks to the latest rule change, DrDisrespect is allowed to be seen on Twitch again – But he is not allowed to perform

Lydia 6. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch ban of Herschel “DrDisrespect” Beahm is notorious to this day. Thanks to a new rule change, streamers are now allowed to show the Doc again – but he still can’t return.

What are these new rules? Twitch announced on the evening of April 4, 2024, our time, on X, formerly Twitter, that they are adjusting one of their strictest rules: the one regarding “ban evasion.” From now on, streamers are allowed to show and react to videos and streams of their banned colleagues.

MyMMO is looking for freelance authors for Twitch and YouTube

von MeinMMO

However, it is required that one actually reacts to and comments on the shown content. Joint Twitch streams with banned streamers are still prohibited.

This rule change is interesting because Twitch has so far shown little leniency regarding ban evasion:

These rules are intended to prevent streamers from evading their bans by going live on another channel or appearing in the stream of a friend content creator.
Anyone who brings a banned colleague into their stream can be banned themselves, thus risking a vital source of income.
Streamers were even instructed to keep banned users “to the best of their knowledge and belief” out of their streams, mute them, or restrict interaction if they happen to encounter them – for example, at a third-party gaming tournament.

In a comment, Twitch explained that they are adapting to the constantly evolving content on the platform (via X.com).

Autoplay

How does DrDisrespect factor in? The infamous streamer is the reason Twitch tightened the rules regarding ban evasion in 2020. His permanent ban is also the most famous and mysterious in Twitch’s history.

To this day, neither he nor the streaming platform has publicly explained why one of the then biggest streamers on Twitch was suddenly banned in June 2020. However, there is plenty of speculation about the reason for the ban, which has been fueled by hints, such as those from Twitch CEO Dan Clancy recently.

While Amouranth is calmly serving her 10th temporary ban and even the controversial YouTuber IShowSpeed has returned to Twitch, the Doc has been out of the picture for almost 4 years.

Now he is allowed to flicker back across the screens of Twitch viewers.

What is DrDisrespect doing? He has been streaming on YouTube since his ban and doing so quite successfully. However, he has a major disadvantage there: YouTube lured successful streamers away from Twitch for big money, but they got the Doc for free. While others secured lucrative exclusive contracts, he was left empty-handed.

When the new competitor platform Kick distributed million-dollar deals in the summer of 2023, the Doc also wanted a piece of the pie and brazenly demanded 50 million dollars.

Helldivers 2: Troopers kill – How to find the robots

Christos Tsogos 5. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In Helldivers 2 there is once again a daily order that you can complete for medals. One of them is to eliminate troopers. How you find these robots is explained in our overview.

Update, February 6, 2026: The article has been reviewed and is up to date.

Troopers, raiders or marauders. Three terms, yet all describe the same target – the foot soldiers of the automatons. The troopers are smaller units of the robots that are equipped either with regular laser weapons, glowing blades, or rocket launchers.

Helldivers 2 offers new orders daily where you can earn medals. One task could be to eliminate troopers. We provide tips on how to do this most effectively.

Effectively kill troopers in Helldivers 2

How to find the troopers: Troopers can only be found in the red sectors of the galactic map in Helldivers 2. You are most likely to encounter them at their bases. They guard their factories or man turrets there.

They are also dropped off by landing ships and can be encountered as patrols. A higher difficulty is not necessary for these enemies to spawn, as they are not considered “Armored Units”.

How to kill the troopers: The troopers are easy to eliminate. They possess no armor and can be sent to the technical afterlife with targeted headshots. Keep in mind that some of the troopers are agile or can attack you from long distances.

The melee fighters are quick and try to slice you open. Therefore, pay attention to your surroundings and use shotguns to tear them apart in close combat.

The rocket launcher troopers are also deadly sniper shooters. If you are not careful and do not have a shield equipped, you could even be killed by one of their shots. Therefore, eliminate the rocket warriors first before focusing on the other units.

With the weapons, you can’t go wrong with the Breaker, the Liberator, or the Sickle. All the listed guns do their job excellently and shred your robot enemies in seconds.

If you need to reload, you can also use grenades like the G-16 impact. This model requires no fuse time and allows your enemies to explode on impact.

This way, you won’t face “Heavily Armored Enemies” and can fully concentrate on the troopers without being torn apart.

Steam: 2 brothers worked for over 20 years on a game that made them millionaires – one bought his dream car

Lydia 5. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

When brothers Tarn and Zach Adams brought their long-standing Free2Play game Dwarf Fortress to Steam as a premium version in December 2022, it made them millionaires almost overnight. Zach Adams fulfilled a seemingly long-held wish and bought a Honda Civic.

What kind of game is this?

Dwarf Fortress is a free fantasy sandbox developed by brothers Tarn and Zach Adams since 2002
The original game had no graphics; the world was represented only in ASCII code – despite this simple appearance, Dwarf Fortress is considered an incredibly deep and complex simulation
After 20 years, the brothers released their game as a premium version for just under 30 euros on Steam – complete with all the modern frills like graphics and animations
Dwarf Fortress sold more than 300,000 copies within a week and made the developers millionaires

By now, the game is said to have sold over 800,000 copies and is on the wish lists of more than a million players, the brothers revealed to PC Gamer.

This number could significantly increase in the foreseeable future, as on April 17, the highly anticipated adventure mode of Dwarf Fortress is set to enter beta – which has been missing in the premium version so far.

Start video

Dwarf Fortress on Steam Announcement Teaser

Autoplay

“I’ve always wanted to have one”

What are the developers doing with their wealth? The Adams brothers seem to have remained extremely grounded so far. In an interview with PC Gamer, Zach Adams stated that he purchased a new house with his wife – he had planned this back in 2022, as their old home had become a bit too small.

In addition, he treated himself to a new car, which is almost a given for new millionaires. However, instead of a Lamborghini or a sky-blue Porsche, Adams made a different choice: “I decided to buy a Honda Civic,” Zach told PCG, “because I always wanted one.”

The Civic has been marketed by Honda since 1972 in now eleven model generations, most of which belong to the modest compact class. However, with the current hybrid model Type R, Honda is almost scraping into the mid-range, as reported recently by the ADAC. It is not known what model the developer owns.

His brother seems to be in a similar situation. Tarn Adams values feeling “comfortable and stable.” When asked if he had plans to reward himself if Dwarf Fortress reaches 1 million units sold, he replied: “I mean, I haven’t really thought about it [reaching a million sales]. Because you wonder: When will that even happen?”

Maybe by the end of April.

Shooter legend shroud explains on Twitch why you have no fun with Rainbow Six: Siege

Dariusz Müller 5. April 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

The Twitch streamer shroud is an expert in shooters. In the stream, he explained what the biggest problem of Rainbow Six: Siege is.

Who is shroud? Michael “shroud” Grzesiek is a former CS:GO professional and currently a well-known streamer on Twitch.

For many fans, shroud is considered a shooter god and has legendary status
shroud is primarily known for his gifted aim, which he regularly demonstrates in his streams.
On Twitch, shroud has 10.9 million followers and averaged 14,000 viewers over the past 6 months
In March 2023, shroud announced that he is working on his own game

What does shroud say about Rainbow Six Siege? While shroud was live streaming on Twitch, a viewer in the chat mentioned that the streamer Summ1t was considering playing Rainbow Six: Siege again, but didn’t want to learn the new maps. Shroud then explained what the biggest problem of Ubisoft’s tactical shooter is.

According to him, it is really bad to learn Rainbow Six: Siege, and you will often lose and die during the process.

Learning R6 [Ed.: Rainbow Six: Siege] is damn terrible! But if you can learn it, it feels really good. To be more clear: When you learn R6, you only lose! […] You will just keep dying over and over, and that sucks! But if you withstand that, it’s good.

Rainbow Six: Siege is known to be not beginner-friendly

Is shroud right? Yes, Rainbow Six: Siege is known for not being very beginner-friendly – even though Ubisoft has been making a real effort to introduce more tools for new players and make it easier for them to get started.

Nevertheless, this mainly applies to players who do not have hundreds or even thousands of hours in this tactical shooter. A player who has been playing at the highest ranks for years is more frustrated with game errors, the current meta, or cheaters.

Nonetheless, the map ban system showed that even experienced players have a problem with learning. New or revised maps like Emerald Plains or Nighthaven Labs were often banned before the players really learned the maps.

Rainbow Six: Siege kicks off Year 9 with an epic cinematic trailer

Autoplay

Why is Rainbow Six so difficult to learn? There are currently 25 different maps, all with different layouts and sometimes complicated designs. Additionally, you have to learn which walls and floors are destructible, where the spawns are located, and which windows or doors the defenders like to use for counterattacks.

The now over 70 different operators also have various abilities that need to be understood and learned, and they can also bring gadgets like grenades or barbed wire. Moreover, there is a considerable selection of weapons.

Once you have acquired the basic understanding of maps, operators, abilities, weapons, and gadgets, you still need to understand which operator and gadget is useful when and where.

Which operator do I play on the map at which spot?
Where should which gadget be placed?
Which walls do I need to reinforce?
Which walls should I better not reinforce?
When do I destroy a wall to rotate through the hole, and when do I just make small holes that you cannot walk/jump through?

Ubisoft continues to cater to new players: At the start of the current season “Deadly Omen,” Rainbow Six: Siege received a display that shows you the trajectory of objects like grenades before they are thrown.

In the past months, the shooter has already received tutorials for new players, operator guides, a training mode for learning maps, and matches against AI opponents that replace terrorist hunts and are supposed to better convey the game principles.

You can be kicked or shot in Helldivers 2 if you wear the wrong cloak

Dariusz Müller 5. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Some players may kick you from the squad in Helldivers 2 if you wear a cloak to honor fallen soldiers.

Why do traitors shoot you? In Helldivers 2, the President of the Over-Earth gifted you a cloak that can be worn to honor the fallen soldiers on the planet Malevelon Creek. Accordingly, since then, there has been the “Malevelon Creek” memorial day.

However, there are now players announcing that they will shoot anyone wearing the new cloak. This announcement also went viral on Reddit:

There are already players reporting on Reddit that they were kicked from a lobby because of the new cloak.

Helldivers on Malevelon Creek fought on the wrong planet

Why is wearing the cloak a problem for some players? The fight on Malevelon Creek made no sense. Some players are convinced that the Helldivers would have been better off on other planets.

As one user explained on Reddit, the armed forces should have either liberated the planet Ubanea or defended the planet Draupnir to maintain the supply lines to planet Tibit.

What about the supply lines? In Helldivers 2, all planets are connected by supply lines. If a new planet is to be liberated by the players, it must be connected to an already liberated planet through the supply lines.

Another player also asked during the ongoing galactic war on Reddit why so many Helldivers were on Malevelon Creek. He also emphasized that players should instead be fighting on Ubanea. At that time, nearly 60,000 players were on Malevelon Creek – without any strategic advantage.

The players who are now betraying the Over-Earth and shooting their comrades believe that the “Malevelon Creek” soldiers have harmed the Over-Earth’s fight, wasted forces, and are traitors themselves.

Why were so many players on Malevelon Creek? On one hand, the supply lines in Helldivers 2 are not easily recognizable. Players depend on external sites or maps if they want to know which supply lines lead to a particular planet.

Moreover, Malevelon Creek has a sort of meme status in the Helldivers 2 community, and there are even players on Reddit who report never having left the planet. Malevelon Creek is a recurring battlefield between the Helldivers and the Automatons and is referred to by some players as “Space-Vietnam”.

Baldur’s Gate 3: Larian surprises a library with a gift, players rave: ‘This is what makes your game so good’

Nicole Wakulczyk 5. April 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

A player wanted to acquire Baldur’s Gate 3 for his library but failed in the purchasing process. He contacted the customer service of Larian – and received a surprising response. With his story, he is currently exciting the community.

Larian has created a massive hit with Baldur’s Gate 3, winning big at the Game Awards 2023: The game won in five categories. Game Director Swen Vincke took the stage in his plate armor and was celebrated for it.

Baldur’s Gate conquered Steam on its final release day: The team expected 100,000 concurrent players, but over 700,000 showed up. Even eight months after the release, the developer studio continues to positively surprise the community.

On Reddit, the user “TeenyGremlin” reports how he approached Larian’s customer service with an inquiry. He didn’t expect a response to his “niche question,” but then Larian got back to him and totally blew him away.

Larian donates a copy to the library

What was his inquiry to customer service? The user “TeenyGremlin” writes on April 5th on Reddit that Larian’s customer service just blew him away. He works in a public library in the USA. The “tax-funded” institution is not allowed to pay taxes on purchased items, but he wanted to acquire a physical copy of Baldur’s Gate 3 for his library.

So he reached out to Larian’s customer service in January to ask for an alternative billing method or a tax-exempt account in their shop. He submitted the paperwork but didn’t expect Larian, as a Belgian company, to be able to help.

He was “95% sure that the answer would be no” but had to try because he loved the game so much. The silence that lasted three months did not surprise him. “I assumed the answer would either be no or that the strange niche question got lost in someone’s inbox. It wasn’t a big deal, and I knew I had done my best,” he writes.

How did the developers surprise the player? According to the user, Larian is actually sending a physical copy of Baldur’s Gate 3 to the library.

After three months, he received a response to his inquiry:

Today I finally received a response from Larian that they would donate a copy for my library. I am absolutely overwhelmed. Someone took the time to respond to a nearly unanswerable question, months after I had already been sure they had forgotten.

I don’t know if someone has been trying to find an answer to this question for three months, or if it was forgotten and someone just noticed and decided to pick it up again, but I am overwhelmed.

I have never experienced a company that has worked so hard to provide an answer and/or an alternative solution. I know it’s a small thing, but it was so cool.

He writes: “They must know how difficult it is to work in a library where so many sensitive books are lying around.” This is a reference to a scene in Act 3 of the game, a short video about it can be seen on Reddit.

Other users praise the development team for their dedication. Here are a few comments summarized:

KnutWhitebear writes: “I always feel happy when I hear such wholesome stories, and I’m glad your library has dedicated staff like you.”
Sethroque notes: “Considering the success of the game, your ticket must have been buried under a lot of other inquiries. But with quality work like this, the wait is worth it, very cool.”
Darkassassin18E states: “In general, I have really liked how Larian has handled everything related to them so far, and this response from them just emphasizes it even more.”
SadakoTetsuwan jokes: “There’s a good chance someone has been trying to find an answer to this question for three months before someone said at lunch, ‘Why don’t we just donate a copy?’ and one person is now halfway to a degree in international tax law […].”
shaunwthompson comments: “This is so wholesome and I love it.”
frank-1 writes: “Unironically, this is exactly what makes their games so good behind the scenes. Those are good people over there.”

If you are hoping for an expansion or sequel to the RPG hit Baldur’s Gate 3, there is disappointing news for fans: The team from Baldur’s Gate 3 was even already working on a DLC – the head explains why work has been discontinued.

The illustrator of The Pharmacist’s Diaries must be punished – This is what she has done wrong

Jasmin Beverungen 5. April 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The Pharmacist’s Diaries is currently the talk of the town. The 1st season of the anime has just aired on Crunchyroll, which is why many fans are now switching to the manga to continue following the story. However, the artist of the manga has just been prosecuted because she missed something important.

What happened to the artist? The drawings for The Pharmacist’s Diaries are the responsibility of Nekokurage, who is actually named Erika Ikeda. The tax authority of the Fukuoka region announced on April 1st that the artist was charged on February 29th for violating the Income Tax Law.

Ikeda allegedly failed to declare an income of approximately 1.58 million euros.
Of the 1.58 million euros, around 290,000 euros were taxable. The undeclared income was earned between 2019 and 2021.
As reported by The Japan News, the evaded money was reportedly used for purchasing real estate, among other things.

The anime adaptation of The Pharmacist’s Diaries is currently experiencing great success:

The artist of The Pharmacist’s Diaries has committed tax evasion

Why didn’t she declare her income? According to NHK, Ikeda simply failed to make the tax declaration. She was aware that she should have submitted a tax return. However, she was so busy with the manga that she didn’t have time to speak with her tax advisor.

She posted her apology on X or Twitter:

Link to the Twitter content

What kind of penalty did she receive? After receiving the tax office’s instructions, she settled the taxes and penalties. She also hired a tax advisor to help her file her taxes on time. She has not disclosed any further consequences to the public.

She added that this is a purely personal matter. The tax evasion has nothing to do with the original author of “The Pharmacist’s Diaries.” And as it turns out, the tax evasion will not have any consequences for the light novel, the manga, and the currently very popular anime.

The Pharmacist’s Diaries originally began as a light novel, written by Natsu Hyuga and illustrated by Megumi Matsuda. Nekokurage is responsible for the drawings of the subsequent manga, for which Itsuki Nanao serves as the author.

The anime is not only well-rated, but it is also well-received by some writers on the MeinMMO editorial team. Especially the protagonist Maomao makes the anime worth watching. She is a real competitor for Sherlock Holmes, as she solves the most complicated cases in a charming way.

MeinMMO author Marie Friske explains why she finds the anime so good: Those who like Sherlock should definitely check out an anime featuring a brilliant pharmacist.

What does the streamer have to do with the league? HandOfBlood is the owner and president of Eintracht Spandau, one of the 12 teams in the new league. His team has even earned a spot in the finals among the last 4 teams.

In his role as President Knabe, who caught attention in almost every game, he contributed to the rapidly growing popularity of the Baller League. He accompanied almost every match day with his own stream.

However, HandOfBlood will most likely have to forgo this service for his community on the final match day. This alone provokes him to express some discontent about the actions of the new football league.

“Dumbfounded” HandOfBlood finds behavior “super cheeky”

What does HandOfBlood specifically criticize? The timing of the announcement of the streaming ban seems to be a major problem for the streamer. He emphasizes that he learned on Thursday (referring to Thursday, March 28, editor’s note) that streaming would not be allowed.

He suspects that this decision was made so that all viewers would have to watch the official Baller-League stream (here you go to the Twitch account) for the finale on April 8.

HandOfBlood sees “gruesome behavior on so many levels” in the way the Baller League is handling the streamers. Because besides the fact that the timing of the announcement (only 1 1/2 weeks before the finale) is extremely unfortunate, there is another issue that the streamer finds annoying.

Apparently, such a ban was not even mentioned. A contractual agreement or at least an arrangement at the start of the Baller League would have been “OK” according to Hänno. “But to say that just 1 1/2 weeks before the finale is just crazy,” says the angry streamer.

Note: We have requested a statement from those in charge of the Baller League and will update this section as soon as we receive it.

A few weeks ago, Hänno addressed another issue with the Baller League in his own way: HandOfBlood allegedly leaked the number of the boss of the cool new football league on Twitch – what is behind it?
