In Helldivers 2 there is no long tutorial, and one relies more on “learning by doing” or “learning by dying”. However, this also means that many players lack basic information.
Which mechanics are known by only a few? In Helldivers 2, taking a look at the game’s tooltips is worthwhile. Especially since the short tutorial means many players do not have as much information about how the game works. This fits with the lore of the game, but it also leads to frustration among more experienced players.
A mechanic that frequently costs inexperienced players the victory is particularly inconspicuous. The longer you stay on the planet, the more enemies will stand in your way. While this may not sound bad at first, it often leads to wipes during pickups.
Mechs are also expected to come into the game soon; here you can see how they were announced.

The mechanics cost rounds, and you don’t notice it at first
What is the problem with the mechanics? Many beginners approach their rounds like this: First, complete the main missions, and then walk through the map again to complete samples and side objectives. But that is their big mistake.
The longer players walk around the map after the main mission for minutes, the greater the onslaught of enemies upon pickup. Here, players fall into a delayed “High Risk – High Reward” trap, as the onslaught only truly begins during the pickup.
Then many players fail to escape. Or they just barely manage to after several respawns, leaving their samples on the ground. This not only leads to frustration over overly difficult evacuations but also to many not knowing what they should change.
How can it be done better? It is better to quickly complete the main missions and only take what is within immediate reach. Of course, more experienced players with good loadouts can take more risks, but beginners should rather focus on the main objectives and the escape. There will be plenty of samples over time – if one doesn’t keep dying.

Knarbon, Crimanzo, and Azuglaris (Image source: pokemon.com)
This is already causing excitement among trainers before the event starts. You need not only the right eggs but also a decent amount of luck. Once you finally get one, you can evolve it into Crimanzo or Azuglaris.
However, for that, you have to take it as a buddy and, depending on the desired evolution, battle against 30 ghost or 30 psychic Pokémon. After the event, you will receive Knarbon permanently from 10-km eggs. However, the new Pokémon cannot be caught as shiny yet.
Pokémon from Raids: In the raids, other opponents will also be found. If you couldn’t find Pikachu with the captain’s hat in the wild or hope for a shiny, you can also defeat it in the raids. The following monsters await you there:
Raid
Raid Bosses
Level-1 Raids
Pikachu with a captain’s hat* Rihorn* Wuffels*
Level-3 Raids

Since March 1, the donation stream of the Twitch streamer metashi12 has been running. On the very first day, the community managed to raise an impressive amount for children with cancer, thanks also to another creator on the platform.
Which donation stream is it about? The German Twitch streamer metashi12 has made headlines in recent days. The reason is the fundraising campaign he launched called “March with Heart.” As the title suggests, there will be streams throughout March to raise money for children with cancer. Here you can find the campaign.
Also joining are other big names from the Twitch scene, for example, HandofBlood. The collected money will be donated at the end to the German Cancer Aid and its foundation, the German Children’s Cancer Aid. This aims to ensure better cancer prevention and care for young patients. Additionally, the money can also support research.
Since the start of the stream on March 1, it has been going very well. So well, in fact, that metashi12 can hardly believe it himself. The contribution of a Twitch colleague and their community has made a significant difference.
On March 23 and 24, also joining: The streamer and YouTuber HandOfBlood:

HandOfBlood: The most important thing about the YouTuber and Twitch streamer in under a minute
The community donates €4,000 in record time
Which streamer is being talked about? The Twitch streamer Shlorox participated in metashi12’s fundraising campaign with his community.
During his WoW session, metashi12 kept an eye on the donation page multiple times. When around €8,000 had been raised there, metashi12 made a wager in his own Twitch stream. He would donate €500 out of his own pocket if the community of Shlorox managed to reach €12,000 in a short time.
When he refreshed the page for the first time, he adjusted his bet. He would donate €750 if the target was reached. However, metashi12 had not anticipated the community of Shlorox.
They really stepped up and donated a total of €4,000 in just 90 seconds. Thus, the €12,000 target was reached.
How did the stream continue? Seemingly amazed by the rapid success of his campaign, metashi12 kept betting. If €25,000 were reached on Shlorox’s side, he would personally donate a total of €1,500. This was also easily achieved.
Already after about 29 minutes, €25,000 had been raised for children with cancer. A dedication from the community that metashi12 could hardly believe. He thanked his and Shlorox’s viewers extensively and promised to contribute €1,500 himself.
By the end of the stream, he had raised €35,000. But that was just the beginning. As of today, March 4, 2024, over €89,000 has already been raised. An impressive amount that is likely to increase significantly by the end of the month, especially when streamer giants like HandofBlood participate with their communities.
Those who catch the right fish in the season of discoveries of WoW Classic can easily become rich. However, you need to hurry! The winter season is ending soon, and then the winter squids will disappear from the waters of Azeroth.
What is the gold farming trick about? With winter squids, the cooks of WoW Classic can create Grilled Squids, which increase agility by ten points for ten minutes. For agile classes like rogues and hunters, there is no better buff food in this version of World of Warcraft – even into the endgame.
However, the winter squids can only be farmed during the winter season, which runs from September 21, 2023, to March 21, 2024. After that, the squid will vanish from the waters of Azeroth. Those who have caught a nice stock of squids by then can earn a lot of gold in the coming months – so says the tip from Sargatanas4 on Reddit.
Start video
WoW Classic: The Devs on the Season of Discovery in Interview
Why is squid farming particularly worthwhile in the season of discoveries? Currently, the second content phase is underway in the season of discoveries of WoW Classic. All characters can level up to level 40 and face the challenges valid for this level range.
However, winter squids are best farmed in high-level areas like Azshara, Tanaris, Feralas, or in the Hinterlands. Additionally, you must meet certain fishing prerequisites, which are particularly high for the waters in Azshara (minimum fishing skill 330).
Some players may find this too dangerous or too much effort. At the same time, Grilled Squids can already be consumed at level 35. Thus, the recipe is already relevant for the current endgame phase.
The Great Iron Fishing Pole is currently the best available rod in the season of discoveries. For this, you must open crustacean traps in the Hidden Sea (southwest coast of Desolace), and with a bit of luck, you will find the said pole in one of the traps. Alternatively, keep an eye out at the auction house.
Buy the best possible baits available, like the Aquadynamic Fish Attraction (+100 fishing skill for five minutes) or Bright Baubles (+75 fishing skill for ten minutes).
Nat Pagle’s Extreme Angler Boots, Lucky Fishing Hat, and Extremely Tested Eternium Fishing Line are rewards from the fishing contest in Stranglethorn Vale, each granting you +5 points to your fishing skill.
With the Enchant: Gloves – Fishing, enchanters can enchant your gloves for +2 to your fishing skill.
What else should you keep in mind? The winter squids not only appear exclusively during the winter season but also at specific times. The highest catch rates are said to be between 12:00 and 18:00, and between 0:00 and 6:00 the winter squids are not available at all. The only exception is in the Bay of Storms in Azshara, for which you need the highest fishing skill. With that said: Dust off your fishing rod and tight lines!
The Canadian Twitch streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek is mainly known for his skill in shooters. However, the former pro also enjoys playing MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and action RPGs. Now he is particularly fond of Last Epoch, which he praises in almost all areas.
This is how well Last Epoch is received:
Last Epoch has been available on Steam for years and has been playable in version 1.0 since February 21. Since then, it has consistently had over 100,000 simultaneous players (via steamcharts).
Almost everything about the ARPG excites the players, but it had some time only “balanced” reviews. Shortly after release, the servers caused problems and there are still connection issues.
This is what shroud says: The well-known Twitch streamer shroud has been playing Last Epoch for a while now. In his latest stream on March 3, he raved about the game and explained why he is currently celebrating it:
This game has so many things, and at the same time, it’s not too hard. [Even] a fool like me could figure it all out with enough time. You just have to use the crafting system once or twice for each of its categories, then you’ll understand it.
The streamer says: The hunt for items is extremely successful. You keep finding items where you wonder if you could build something cool out of them. The “wild hunt for loot” and the countless resulting builds are what’s cool about Last Epoch.
Last Epoch: The ARPG Showcases Classes, Battles, and Challenges in the Launch Trailer
“I don’t know if I can ever play Diablo again”
While talking with his chat, shroud brings up the comparison to Diablo 4. He says:
I don’t know if I can ever play Diablo again. It’s just not worth it. [Last Epoch] beats it in almost every single area.
Diablo 4 is only superior in two things: performance and graphics. Last Epoch is not ugly, but what Diablo does with its skills is simply overwhelming. Every skill is stunning and has a visible impact on the world.
In terms of performance, Diablo 4 is also significantly ahead. Everything runs smoothly and looks great. Nvidia’s DLSS, for example, would be a system that could propel Last Epoch forward significantly, according to shroud.
The streamer concludes his praise with the fact that it’s now about how Last Epoch will perform in the future. The game was released in top condition, making it difficult to deliver corresponding quality afterwards. Other games have it easier: they release poorly and then become better with features that are actually expected. However, the developers apparently already have big plans: Last Epoch wants to become the best game in the genre – Explains how it will continue with a big update

A new action RPG on Steam could be the next hit for all fans of Soulslike games. The game is based on a 14-year-old MMORPG.
What game is this about? Vindictus: Defying Fate is a new action RPG that is set to be released on Steam. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because it’s based on the horror MMORPG of the same name from 2010.
Currently, publisher Nexon, which is also responsible for Dave the Diver among other games, has announced the pre-alpha starting March 13, 2024. However, a precise release date has not yet been revealed.
Start video
Vindictus: Defying Fate allows you to experience an old MMORPG as a Soulslike
What to expect: At first glance, it looks like the developers want to get a little involved in the Soulslike genre with this new game. They promise intense and challenging battles, among other things. In the trailer, you can also catch a glimpse of the first combat gameplay.
Here you can see, for example, that many enemies are definitely physically superior to you, and you must cleverly adjust to their movesets to deliver the decisive blow. In combat, you will rely on your skills, reflexes, and strategy. At first glance, it already looks very fluid.
In line with the somewhat dark setting, you can also see a lot of blood splattering during the fights. Anyone who enjoys this kind of graphic representation should be visually satisfied here.
Vindictus: Defying Fate takes place in a fantasy world based on Celtic myths. The enemies in the trailer already resemble dark creatures and mythical beings.
You should be able to customize your character in the game. Each character is said to be unique not only in appearance but also in weapon and combat style. You should create a character that you can identify with, which also suits your own play style.
What does the community say? Standing out among the relatively many Soulslike games in recent years certainly poses a challenge.
Simply basing their new game on their old MMORPG could be exactly the solution to this hurdle for Nexon. In any case, it seems that many of the old fans are already looking forward to another adventure in the world of Vindictus, judging by the comments (via YouTube):
prod.byGats writes: “I remember how I played it back in 2012 when it came out in Europe. It had my whole class hooked. This game was really ahead of its time. I’m excited that it’s coming back.”
ImpulseJojo writes: “Words cannot describe how ready I am for a Vindictus comeback. One of my favorite childhood games.”
Dragonwar0 writes: “Just when I thought it would never come back […] I am very excited to play this game again. I hope Nexon doesn’t mess it up, Vindictus is the best game they ever created.”
What do you think of the new approach? Are you interested in a new action RPG based on this old MMORPG? Feel free to discuss.
In the so-called invasions, players can dive into the worlds of others in Elden Ring. The goal of an invasion is to take out the host. As a reward, there are runes for this – but one player received much more runes than usual for his kill.
What is so unusual about the kill? In the reddit forum, a player describes the strange situation. He manages to kill another player during an invasion. The video shows how he kills the player with just one shot.
Normally, this kill would have given around 355,000 runes. But in this case, the killer receives over 80 million runes. Upon seeing this high amount, the player can hardly believe his luck and stands still for a moment.
According to his own statement, the user plays a lot of multiplayer in Elden Ring, but he has never encountered such a high amount. He felt like Scrooge McDuck, swimming in his own money – in this case, in his own runes.

Player receives over 80 million runes for kill – This could be the reason
Why did the player receive so many runes? In the comments, other users of the forum are looking for possible scenarios as to why the player received so many runes. Many suspect that it could either be a bug or a cheat.
However, where the users agree: Something must be wrong with this gigantic amount.
SilvesTheRog suspects that it might be a hack through Save Wizard or something similar. Perhaps the other player set his level to over 713 and the game simply gave out the amount of runes that would be appropriate for such a high level.
However, Salted_One thinks that it’s more likely to be a bug. Another user had received exactly the same amount from another player, which would be a very large coincidence.
The user also used the 80 million runes to level up. After spending the runes, he reached level 314. The maximum level in Elden Ring is 713. This level is reached when every attribute is level 99.
In EA FC 24 you now have a new feature that allows you to get one of the best midfield playmakers ever while saving a lot of coins. We will show you what you need to do for that.
Which player is it about? Wesley Sneijder has been introduced this year as a new Hero in EA FC 24. The card of the Dutchman immediately generated great interest and was priced over 200,000 coins for the first two months after release. Meanwhile, his market value has settled at a maximum price of 70,000 coins, as two additional Hero versions have surpassed the original card:
UCL-Hero Sneijder (Price: ~1.3 million coins; as of March 04, 2024)
FC Fantasy Sneijder (Price: ~ 3.4 million coins; as of March 04, 2024)
The cheapest option for a better Sneijder card is thus over a million coins if you want to buy it on the transfer market. But with our method, you can get a nearly identical version that is one million coins cheaper and even has one more Playstyle+ compared to the UCL-Hero, making him a complete passing machine.
Wesley Sneijder: The Hero Evolution (left) has nearly the same stats as the UCL version
Hero Evolution gives Sneijder the missing pass Playstyle
This is how you create one of the best passing players with the Base Hero Catch-Up Evolution: After completing the Base Hero Catch-Up Evolution, you will receive the golden passing Playstyle “Tiki-Taka” as an additional Playstyle+. This Playstyle is exactly what Wesley Sneijder is missing to truly possess all passing Playstyles.
All you need to start the Evolution is Sneijder’s Base Hero card and 125,000 coins to unlock it for the player. To buy Sneijder, you need to be a bit patient, as the good man is currently hard to obtain on the transfer market, which could be another proof of how well he fits the Evolution.
What makes Evolution Sneijder’s passes so special? After the Evolution, Sneijder possesses every single passing Playstyle available in EA FC 24. After more than 5 months, you have surely heard that Playstyles are at least as important as the pure stats of a player. Cards that have both strong passing stats and the appropriate Playstyles can really become game-changers in the game. This definitely applies to Wesley Sneijder’s Catch-Up Evolution.
Especially his flat passes (X button on PlayStation/ A button on Xbox) in combination play are a sight to behold due to the additional Playstyle+ “Tiki-Taka” and almost always find the teammate. The same goes for the through balls, which you play with the Triangle button on PlayStation or the Y button on Xbox. You can use these optimally with the golden Playstyle “Decisive Pass” to perfectly serve the balls into the run of your starting colleague.
But the following silver passing Playstyles also make Sneijder a passing machine:
“Hard Pass” allows extremely sharp and accurate crosses
“Long Pass” enables long, high through balls and switches of play with great precision
“Through Pass” guarantees perfectly timed pressure passes to your teammates
How long is the Base Hero Catch-Up Evolution still available? To complete the Evolution, you need to hurry. By Tuesday, March 05, at 7:00 PM, you need to have Sneijder and the required fee of 125,000 coins, otherwise you will have no chance for the upgrades.
Once Sneijder has been confirmed for the Evolution, you will have another week to complete the tasks for the upgrades. You can also do this comfortably in Squad Battles.
The head of Helldivers 2 describes the conquest of planets as a constant tug-of-war, and one player believes he knows how to win it.
In Helldivers 2, the conquest of planets occupied by bugs or robots plays a significant role. With each operation you complete on a planet, you contribute to the successful democratization.
However, the game does not explain in detail how exactly the conquest of the planets progresses or at what rate the bugs and robots reconquer a planet. Now, the head of the studio has provided insight into the mechanics, and a battle plan from the community is already available.
What does the head say? Johan Pilestedt, the CEO of Helldivers developer Arrowhead, explains on X.com that the community is capable of liberating large portions of a planet when player numbers are at their peak.
Once this peak has passed and relatively few players are online, the Over-Earth’s enemies manage to reconquer the planet. Pilestedt describes the process as a tug-of-war that constantly goes back and forth.

Players devise a plan for successful conquest
Several hours after Pilestedt’s post on X, the Reddit user “ghoxen” reached out to the community and described in more detail how the conquest and reconquest of planets works. He also developed a theory with which the Helldivers can overcome the tug-of-war and completely occupy a planet.

What does the plan look like? The Reddit user has set up a sample calculation showing that players can only conquer 3 different planets if they first attack a single planet as a group.
For example, if 360,000 players are online, the Reddit user suggests that all players should first focus on planet 1 and capture it as quickly as possible. Afterward, they move on to planet 2 and, after its conquest, to planet 3.
Currently, however, players are spreading out over the various planets. In his example, he mentions 120,000 players per planet. Due to the division, the planet is captured more slowly, making insufficient progress during peak phases (in terms of player numbers), causing the planets to lose too much conquest progress during low phases.
Are there other plans? Another suggestion that gathered over 2,300 “likes” on X is: If another console were to gain access to the war, the fight could sway more in favor of the Helldivers. Based on the motto: “More is better.”
The player is hinting at the discussion that Helldivers 2, being PlayStation-exclusive, is not playable on Xbox. Some players have wished since the release of the co-op shooter for it to be available on the Microsoft console as well.
MeinMMO editor Marie Friske has fallen shockingly in love with the Chinese anime Heaven Official’s Blessing, which completely convinced her with a mystical fantasy world, charming main characters, and a gripping story.
What is Heaven’s Official Blessing about? The Donghua (Chinese anime) takes place in ancient China.
Xie Lian is the crown prince of the kingdom of Xianle. After being demoted several times, he ascends to heaven for the third time. In the process, he accidentally destroys a golden palace.
Since the god does not have any temples on Earth and is therefore not worshipped, he has to earn divinity in other ways to make amends for the damage.
So Xie Lian descends into the human world to exorcise ghosts and settle his debts in heaven. While doing so, he meets the mysterious ghost king Hua Cheng, who shows great interest in the crown prince…
Heaven Official’s Blessing is the anime adaptation of the boys-love story by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, which was first published as a novel and later as a manhua (Chinese comic).
The author is also known for The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, which has both an anime and a live-action adaptation titled The Untamed (one of my absolute favorite series!).
Both stories belong to the Xianxia genre. This term describes fantasy that incorporates elements from Taoism, Buddhism, and Chinese mythology.
Even the poster for the 2nd season reflects the magic of the anime
A note: You can watch the first season of Heaven Official’s Blessing on Crunchyroll only in Chinese Mandarin or English. If you watch it in its original language, English or Arabic subtitles are available.
In the 2nd season, however, there are also German subtitles. Here you also have the Japanese dubbing as an audio option.
Here you can see a trailer for the 2nd season of Heaven Official’s Blessing:
Start video
Offizieller Trailer zur 2. Staffel des chinesischen Animes „Heaven Official’s Blessing“
Exciting fantasy world full of hauntings and legends
Heaven Official’s Blessing throws you into a mystical ancient China, where gods, ghosts, and demons walk among mortals. I really enjoy this legendary world and it creates the perfect setting for plenty of puzzles, surprises, and magical moments in the anime.
The story begins directly with the mystery of the ghost bridegroom, who kidnaps women shortly before their weddings. Xie Lian then has the brilliant idea of disguising himself as a bride to uncover the haunting.
However, upon arriving in the dark forest, the atmosphere quickly changes. While the characters are joking one moment, the next moment a creepy feeling arises, reminiscent of listening to ghost stories around a campfire:
Suddenly, a woman’s cryptic singing resonates and shadowy figures flit through the bushes, too quickly to recognize what is lurking in the forest – moments like these keep me glued to the screen as I immerse myself in the story.
In the 2nd season, Xie Lian finds himself in a ghost town full of curious beings
In addition to the captivating mystical situations, I also particularly enjoy the spectacular fight and action animations in which gods and ghosts showcase their supernatural powers and create cool moments.
For example, they can summon a whirlwind, throw fireballs, or use hordes of silver butterflies as a distraction.
Xie Lian and Hua Cheng as a lovable character pair
Xie Lian is just too good for this world with his enormous heart
The main character Xie Lian has quickly won my heart with his clumsy but kind-hearted nature, and I often feel the urge to just hug him when he looks at the chaos (which he often unintentionally contributed to) with puppy eyes.
The god is not worshipped on Earth and therefore always has to ask his heavenly companions for some strength. Moreover, he is a huge unfortunate, so he is quite unpopular in heaven due to his unintended potential for destruction.
He is really just trying to bring peace among the people, selflessly throwing himself into battle, and has a special gift for caring for lost souls.
Hua Cheng is by far the coolest character in the anime
Next to him, the character Hua Cheng is simply fantastic. He is a cunning ghost king with the ability to change his form and approach his enemies unnoticed.
He is extremely powerful and gives me chills when he demonstrates his full strength in epic moments.
Hua Cheng has style
Hua Cheng knows no scruples and appears reserved and cold to the other characters. Only by Xie Lian’s side does the stoic ghost king suddenly become a gentle and emotional protector who wants to delight his companion with little gifts and favors.
This contrasting duo, which is so understanding and supportive of each other, moves me to tears more than once and is one of the sweetest pairs of characters I have ever rooted for.
The anime features not only a beautiful romance between the character duo Xie Lian and Hua Cheng, conveyed through small gestures and indirect love declarations, but also a captivating fantasy story that immerses you in a legendary ancient China.
Moreover, the episodes usually end with such an exciting cliffhanger that Heaven Official’s Blessing practically begs to be binge-watched on far too long anime nights, even though one should actually be alert in the office the next day.
However, I can conclude that watching Hua Cheng and Xie Lian uncover the secrets of heaven and the ghosts was worth every sleepless night.
A video from Call of Duty: Warzone is currently the center of discussion. The streamer DougisRaw is taken out by an invisible player and thinks it is a cheater – when he himself could be the cheater.
Why is he getting laughs? The streamer DougisRaw recently posted a video on X (formerly Twitter), in which a stream clip of him can be seen. The streamer is playing Call of Duty: Warzone and encounters another player in the Gulag.
The curious thing is, his opponent takes him out, but is invisible to the streamer. In the kill cam, you can see that the opponent is quite visibly standing in front of him, but from the streamer’s perspective, he apparently is not visible.
What seems like a bug could, however, also be an anti-cheat measure that has the streamer in its sights.
Here you can indulge in nostalgia:

What does the community say about the video? The video has now been viewed over 10 million times on X (formerly Twitter) and has already garnered many comments. The majority of users agree that the streamer is being trolled by the game’s anti-cheat system in the clip.

What anti-cheat measure is involved? In Call of Duty: Warzone and MW3, the “Ricochet Anti-Cheat” system is in use. This system utilizes several technologies aimed at limiting the damage that cheaters inflict on the game. Potential cheaters can, for example, lose their weapons or be unable to see their legitimately playing opponents.
The community believes that the last measure would affect the streamer, and he has presumably revealed himself with his video. But there are also doubts that this concerns the anti-cheat system.
Why are there doubts? The online magazine CharlieIntel writes on X (formerly Twitter) that according to their sources, in the clip of DougisRaw, it does not concern the feature of the anti-cheat. Instead, the video actually shows a bug.
A video on YouTube also shows that the anti-cheat system would make the opponent invisible only after a hit. This does not fit with the events in the streamer’s video.
Here you can see the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auTXw6nw18U
Under the streamer’s video on X (formerly Twitter), FridgeMKE also counters: “It’s a glitch with a specific skin; sometimes phases go invisible. It’s happened to me twice already. I’m not going to say which skin it is, because people will rush to it, but I hope they patch it soon.”
DougisRaw is still not banned and has not had any problems streaming the game since then.

To use the gaming platform Steam, you need an account. This account can become very valuable with a growing number of purchased games.
All the more important is it to protect your library from hackers and account thieves. For this purpose, Steam operator Valve offers several options as protection.
Steam boss Gabe Newell is very convinced of these protective mechanisms and wanted to prove how secure they are. For this reason, he revealed the credentials for his Steam account.

What did Gabe Newell do? During an Intel event at CeBIT in 2011, the head of Steam took the stage. In front of the audience present, he entered the credentials for his Steam account on a computer.
The screen content was displayed on a large screen, so everyone could clearly see his username. Additionally, he revealed the typed password and urged the audience to hack his account and steal it from him.
Why did he do that? The disclosure of his credentials was a planned action by Gabe Newell. With the knowledge of his username and password, he wanted to demonstrate how secure Steam accounts are protected against theft.
Newell used this moment to present the new security system Steam Guard. In this way, the audience members were not able to log into his Steam account, change the password, and thus take over the account.

Why was his account secure? This new layer of security added a 2-step authentication when logging into Steam. Provided Steam Guard is activated, a prompt to enter an access code appears when attempting to log in on an unknown computer.
This access code is sent to the email address registered with Steam. Without this code, you cannot log into a device that you have not previously used for Steam. As long as access to the email address is secure, a Steam account remains protected from attacks.
How secure is Steam today? In recent years, Valve has not been idle and has further improved Steam Guard and added new options for more security. With the Steam app, players have another way to protect their accounts from unauthorized access.
Within the app, account owners can use Steam Guard as an authenticator and log in on a new computer, for example, by scanning a QR code. The receipt of an access code can now also optionally take place through the app instead of via email.
In Chapter 102 of the Dragon Ball Super manga, Son Goku and Son Gohan fight each other in their strongest forms. During the battle, Son Gohan explains to his father the secret behind “Beast Mode” and how he learned to control this form.
What secret lies behind “Beast Mode”? Son Goku asks his son what it is about “Beast Mode.” This mode was already seen in the manga and the movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.
“Beast Mode” is Son Gohan’s strongest form. Piccolo came up with the name for this mode.
During the transformation, Son Gohan gets longer hair that stands up in this mode. His hair turns silver and his iris becomes red.
With this form, Son Gohan was even able to defeat Cell Max with ease. Bulma thinks that Son Gohan becomes an even stronger fighter through “Beast Mode” than his father.
Son Gohan explains to his father that he can use this form whenever he wants. He owes this ability to Piccolo, who taught Son Gohan how to control his flow of energy and thus achieve full control over “Beast Mode.”
Coming soon in Dragon Ball Daima: Son Goku and Co.:

Son Goku faces Son Gohan
Who is the stronger Saiyan now? To prove his skills, Son Gohan first faces his brother Son Goten and Vegeta’s son Trunks. The two try to fuse, but the result is a corpulent fighter who is defeated by Son Gohan.
Son Gohan does not even have to activate his “Beast Mode” to defeat the two.
Then, Son Goku takes the honor and faces his son. Son Gohan activates his “Beast Mode,” while Son Goku uses his “Ultra Instinct.” In this technique, consciousness separates from the body, resulting in the Saiyan having faster reflexes.
Both Saiyans thus fight each other in their strongest forms. In Chapter 102, there is no winner yet, but the two fighters demonstrate how powerful their best forms are. They actually destroy part of Beerus’s planet, despite only fighting through physical contact.
What happens next? Dragon Ball Super is the continuation of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. The first manga volume was released in June 2015. Since then, the manga has been regularly continued with new chapters.
There was even an anime that ran from 2015 to 2018. However, only the first 42 chapters of the manga are shown, which now comprises 102 chapters. Therefore, Son Gohan’s new form has not yet been seen in the anime, only in the movie.
To progress in Pokémon GO, experience points are particularly important. However, trainers are repeatedly robbed of their XP by others. What it’s about and why it can also affect you, we have summarized here on MeinMMO for you.
What contents are involved? In Pokémon GO, you earn experience points (XP) in various situations, such as catching Pokémon, spinning PokéStops, or evolving your monsters. You need these to level up your trainer level. So, anyone wanting to reach level 50 has to farm a lot of them.
However, trainers are often cheated out of these valuable XP. This also happened to Reddit user ChrisSOAD, who lost a whole 100,000 experience points due to an important feature. How that is possible and what another player has to do with it, we will explain to you below.

Pokémon GO: This is what the new season ‘World full of Wonders’ looks like in the trailer
Trainer loses 100,000 XP due to the behavior of another
What feature is involved? To collect a lot of XP in Pokémon GO, many players use the friends feature. Through this, you can befriend other trainers and level up your friendship level through regular interactions, such as exchanging gifts, joint raids, or trading.
For each level reached, both friends receive a certain amount of XP. This way, you can secure 100,000 XP at the Best Friends status and even double that in combination with a Lucky Egg. Reddit user ChrisSOAD also used this feature and is now frustrated by a huge fail.
As he reveals in the comments, he reached the Best Friends status for the first time and was excited about the reward. But instead of being able to rejoice in a decent amount of XP, he simply received nothing, as he shows in his post.

Why didn’t he receive XP? The reason for this loss of XP is the behavior of the other trainer. This trainer triggered the level-up and removed ChrisSOAD from his friends list after the crediting of his own XP – with the consequence that ChrisSOAD simply does not receive his XP at the next login in the game.
Problem keeps occurring: ChrisSOAD is not the first trainer to lose valuable XP in this way. Players are continually criticizing the reckless behavior of others and are angry about it.
To achieve the Best Friends status, 90 days of mutual interactions are necessary, making it all the more frustrating when the effort was in vain. You can find numerous reports about this in the comments on Reddit:
CABlitz: I don’t understand the hurry with which people are deleted, it’s unbelievable. At least wait one day out of human decency.
CentrureAstrike: […] what is wrong with staying best friends? Unless his friends list was full, which is probably not the case since he just loves to delete people immediately. He should have just left it as it was.
CrystalClimaxx: Man, that’s really messed up. Whoever this ‘friend’ is, I hope his next friends will do the same to him! Karma.
Trainers demand a solution: Other players also see Niantic as being responsible. From their perspective, it should simply be handled on the system side. Trainers should still receive their XP despite such behavior. Some are advising ChrisSOAD to contact support with the image and ask for a solution.
But other solutions from the developers’ side would also be conceivable from the perspective of some to manage such situations better in the future, as can be read in the Reddit comments:
AlternativeHandle771: I recently suggested to one of my friends that Niantic should arrange it so that when you reach a friend’s milestone, you cannot unfriend them for at least 12 hours, so they have a little window to log in and receive their XP.
Dreadnark: But Niantic really needs to fix this obvious oversight. It shouldn’t be hard to program the game so that you still receive XP even after being deleted.
The_forgetful_alt: I think that if you delete people immediately after they become best friends, you should be banned from adding friends and not receive friendship gifts for 2 days. Longer if you continue to do it.
PlentyofPennies: Send this screenshot as a hint to Niantic and ask them to fix it. It’s so easy for them to end this nonsense. They will only do it if enough people complain. It only takes a minute.
Whether Niantic will actually address this issue remains to be seen. If there is new information, you will definitely read it with us on MeinMMO. Until then, we can only recommend that you coordinate with your trainer friends before leveling up.
Has this happened to you as well? Or do you perhaps even kick your friends immediately after reaching the Best Friends status? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.
Researchers have recycled electronic waste, consuming significantly less energy than with conventional methods.In the future, electronic waste could take on a completely new meaning.
If you want to recycle electronic waste, you currently need very large amounts of energy and expensive machines to recycle efficiently. But that could change soon. A group of researchers has demonstrated in an experiment how to drastically reduce not only energy consumption but also all costs involved.
Gold extraction from waste from the food industry
What exactly is being used? Whey proteins are a byproduct left over after making cheese and other products. For a long time, it was considered a waste product, but it is now used in sports as a valuable source of protein. The researchers have now found that gold can be extracted from electronic waste using whey proteins.
With whey proteins, energy costs for the entire recycling process can be up to 50 times lower than through conventional means. The team led by scientist Raffaele Mezzenga from the Department of Health Sciences and Technology explained that using this method, they were able to extract about 450 mg of gold from 20 motherboards. This was reported by colleagues from Tomshardware.com.
How does the process work? First, the electronic waste is dissolved in an acid bath to ionize the metals. Then, the sponge is dipped into the metal ion solution. In the bath, the ionized metals adhere to the protein sponge like a magnet attracting metal shavings.
Mezzenga and his research team found that most metal ions can attach to the sponge, but gold ions are much more efficient. To finally extract the precious metals from the sponge, the protein sponge is heated to a temperature at which the gold ions turn into flakes and can easily be detached from the sponge. The researchers then collected these gold flakes.
What does this mean for the future? Electronic waste could become significantly more valuable in the future as recycling and reuse could pay off much more. Tomshardware reports that startups earn around 80,000 euros daily from recycling gold and copper from electronic waste. Improved methods are likely to only accelerate this and change the way computer waste is processed significantly.
More sciences: A research team from China has introduced a new passive cooling system for processors. It is expected to significantly enhance performance while being cheaper in the long run. In an initial practical test, the system reportedly worked very well. And there are more advantages.
Last Epoch allows you to build dozens of different builds due to the sheer amount of loot. An expert has now experimented and found a playstyle that is stronger without weapons than most builds with weapons. However, he needs special gloves for this.
What kind of build is this?
Falconers are a subclass of rogues and typically rely on a bird companion. However, the unarmed falconer build revolves around a melee skill: Spark Strike (“Cinderstrike”).
The special thing: You may not carry a weapon; otherwise, the multipliers won’t apply. Only without weapons do you deal that much damage. The creator promises over 300,000 damage when everything ignites at once.
At the moment, he is over 200 corruption and sees plenty of room for improvement. This would put the build at the top of the Tier List for Last Epoch.
Essentially, you play only with one skill, Spark Strike. All other abilities are merely for support, and the best part is that you only need to actively use a few of them. You play with:
Shift
Shuriken
Spark Strike
Explosive Trap (you only skill it, using something else like Smoke Bomb as your active ability)
and Falconry
With the right skill allocation, you use most skills while using another: Shuriken are triggered with Shift, the trap while casting Spark Strike. So you only need to skill them, never use them actively.
The idea is to make enemies vulnerable with your falcon and attach explosive traps to them through unarmed melee hits with Spark Strike. Everything then explodes in a firestorm and dies in seconds. You can find the complete build here on LastEpochTools.
To obtain the necessary items for the build, the item factions will help you. We explain to you in the guide which faction you should join. You can see more about the factions in the video:
Start video
Last Epoch: Faction of the Merchant Guild or Circle of Fate – These are the advantages
New gloves create crazy combinations
The build only works if you have a new, unique item: Falcon Fists. These have the special effect of increasing the base damage of Spark Strike by up to 16 for every point you invest in Falconry.
The goal is to get as many points in Falconry as possible. This can be achieved through the gloves themselves as well as the helmet. Depending on the roll, you can get over 400 bonus damage on Spark Strike, which is then multiplied through critical hits, penetration, and so on.
You don’t necessarily need other items, but they further increase your damage. Important are especially attributes like Dexterity, levels for Spark Strike, and increased Fire Damage. Aaron recommends the neck piece “Bleeding Heart” and the chest “Woven Flesh” so you can heal yourself.
What’s it all about? MMORPGs captivate hordes of gamers worldwide. Yet, while many players fall in love with these worlds and adventures, there are also those who have a complicated relationship with their favorite games. For some, it’s a love-hate relationship they share with titles like Guild Wars 2, Black Desert Online, and Final Fantasy XIV.
On Reddit, players share why they regularly reinstall certain titles only to stop playing again after a few hours.
The new expansion Dawntrail for Final Fantasy XIV comes this summer, introducing a new story arc:

The love-hate relationship with certain MMORPGs that players experience
Black Desert Online
What are the reasons? For some players (via Reddit), Black Desert Online is a game they keep reinstalling but then give up after a short time. The overabundance of items and the monotonous gameplay quickly lead to boredom and frustration for them. Players long for more variety and clearer goals that the game can provide.
We’ve summarized a few comments for you:
susanTeason writes:BDO, definitely many times. For some reason, I always forget how hectic the combat system is and how much stuff fills my inventory.
docrice explains:BDO, you start the game with about 20 different attacks, I have no idea which abilities I’m using. It overwhelms me.
IntheTrench emphasizes:BDO, I would pay someone to manage my inventory for me.
What reasons are mentioned? Some players of Guild Wars 2 feel a love-hate relationship with the game due to what they call disappointing aspects like a not-so-good combat system, while others celebrate the combat system. Still, there are varying player preferences, such as PvP, which is appreciated by some.
We’ve summarized a few comments for you:
Cavissi writes:GW2. I really want to like it, but I just can’t. I log in, explore an area 100%, get bored because the combat system isn’t great, and then I uninstall it. On paper, it’s exactly the game I want, but something about it just doesn’t click for me.
Khlouf explains:[…] I tried GW2 with my friends, but the only thing I enjoyed was the PvP. I always found it odd that many people praised the combat, because personally, I didn’t think it was that great. […]
Clarynaa writes:[…]I have tried Guild Wars 2 every year since its release. This year it finally clicked that it’s just a game to unwind. Turn off your brain, run around, kill things, participate in events, gather. Don’t worry about gear.
What reasons are mentioned? Players’ criticism of Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) primarily focuses on the storytelling perceived as slow. It is emphasized that the narrative quality noticeably gains depth only from the first expansion Heavensward and becomes increasingly epic over the course of the add-ons. Other players find the game’s aesthetics disturbing because they perceive it as anime aesthetics, which do not match their personal taste.
We’ve summarized a few comments for you:
flowerboyyu writes:Definitely FFXIV. It’s like I want to play, but then I sign in and realize how boring everything feels, and I go back to my other MMORPGs, lol.
ret127 explains:The art style is very reminiscent of anime. […] Every expansion has at least 1 “with the power of friendship and anime” story arc. In the last patch, I almost skipped the cutscenes because it was just unbearable.
Hello_Hangnail writes:It takes a damn long time for FFXIV to get good, but when it does, it’s a pretty entertaining story.
The FFXIV community is considered one of the friendliest and most helpful communities. MeinMMO editor Sophia Weiss has been playing Final Fantasy XIV since 2011 and feels very comfortable in Eorzea. Sophia shares why she needed two attempts to be convinced: For my 1st MMORPG, I needed two attempts; only a dancing catboy convinced me.
What other MMORPGs are mentioned? In addition to the three mentioned MMORPGs, several others are also noted, where some players feel a love-hate relationship. These include, for example: ESO, Lost Ark, WoW, LOTRO, SWTOR, and New World.
What do you think? Do you have a game that you keep trying out only to uninstall it again after a few hours? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

What classes are there in Dragonkin? In Dragonkin, you can choose between four different classes. By drinking dragon blood, the heroes of this world develop their individual abilities, powers, and combat techniques.
The Barbarian: The Barbarian is the leader of those who live in the northern part of the country. Since his element is ice, the Barbarian can not only hit hard like a true muscle head, but also freeze his opponents. With axe and hammer, he inflicts massive melee damage. The more damage you withstand as a Barbarian, the more powerful your attacks become.
The Witch: The Witch dreams of a world where humans and dragons can live together. The dragon blood grants her powers related to the elements of water and electricity. With the Witch, you tend to stay at range, charging your spells and dealing damage from afar.
The Warrior: Ever since childhood, the Warrior has been taught and trained by the best warriors. He fights with the element of fire. With him, you can hold your own in both melee and ranged combat. With his spear, which can also shoot flames, he is suited for both playstyles.
The Archer: In combat, the Archer uses his skills to attack with the element of poison. If an arrow does not instantly kill its prey, the poison should finish the job and soon take down your opponents. Naturally, the Archer is primarily suited for ranged combat. With an area of poison, you also make yourself relatively untouchable.
Depending on your loot, your character build, and your personal preferences, you can also customize your powers and attacks. When you level up, you will have to decide how to combine your abilities to create the best hero for yourself. The game promises that you can regularly adapt your character to new opponents.
What can you expect in the world of Dragonkin? In Dragonkin, you can expect various biomes, each with its own regions, monsters, and special resources. Among other things, you will traverse a tundra, swamps, and volcanoes.
On your journey, you will learn the history of the world and face everything that poses a potential threat.
Your own town will grow and change based on your decisions and discoveries. You will decide which area of development to focus on, expand your buildings, or find new residents. In co-op mode, your teammates can also contribute to the construction of your town.
Moreover, you can experience the entire game and story in co-op mode. In local co-op, you can play with two players, while online you can play with up to four players.
On Twitchand YouTube, many content creators are currently playing strange games, far from AAA or AAAA games, but the viewers seem to be more interested in these than in current, hyped games.
What kind of games are they? Supermarket Simulator, Kebab Chefs! – Restaurant Simulator, Beer Factory, or Internet Cafe Simulator 2 are the opposite of the currently hyped games on Steam. All the titles are simulators that simulate life around the respective profession.
There is hardly any focus on realism, diversity, or graphic innovations. With similar graphics and unusual mechanics, they attract players into their world. Many of the games also have additional features unrelated to the actual gameplay, such as gambling or fights against NPCs.
HandofBlood is one of the content creators who repeatedly entertains his viewers with simulators. You can learn more about him in our video.

Thanks to Humorous Videos, the Genre is Growing More and More
How do the games become famous? The reason for the success of the games likely lies with content creators on Twitch and YouTube, who have made it their mission to dive into the daily lives of simulators and entertain their viewers in various ways.
While the creators of the videos use various approaches, they are all connected by the fact that there are usually only single streams or videos per game, in which the stereotypical daily life of a person in the respective profession is portrayed. Sometimes, personal experiences or stories from the lives of the influencers are included.
Here you can watch a video that is exemplary of the kind of simulator videos.

How do the videos receive attention? The videos are well received by the community. The YouTube channel PietSmiet now frequently publishes videos about simulators, like Beer Factory, alongside other projects. Viewers express their joy about the simulator videos in the comments.
Under the YouTube video for Beer Factory, for example, @groebaz76 writes: “I love it. Pedda [PietSmiet] playing alone is always pure entertainment.”
Kevlovic writes under the same video: “Cool video! Hopefully, this simulator will have a few more videos and Peter [PietSmiet] gets to build his beer empire.”
How big is the hype around the games? Measuring the hype of an entire genre is not easy. It is noticeable that simulator games currently belong to the “Trending Games” on SteamDB. The Supermarket Simulator, for example, is currently seeing a steadily growing trend with over 16,000 players.
Other games can also record growth in players after streams or YouTube videos. However, the hype around the respective game usually lasts only a short time. After 24 hours, player numbers often decline again. The PietSmiet video, for example, helped the game Beer Factory reach a new peak in players before the numbers dropped again since then.
A new game on Steam appears to resemble Dorfromantik at first glance. However, you play as a nearly divine cat that builds its own world to bring back the extinct humanity.
What game are we talking about here? Nekokami: Relaxing World Builder is essentially what the name promises. A relaxing building game on Steam, which at first glance reminds of the successful German building game Dorfromantik from 2022.
The release is announced for the second quarter of 2024. Currently, you can already get a taste of the demo version Nekokami: Internship.
Start video
In Nekokami errichtet ihr als Weltraum-Katze eine neue Welt
What can you expect? Nekokami definitely reminds of Dorfromantik in terms of gameplay. Here, too, you need to combine different hexagons to gradually build a new landscape. You will encounter various tasks and challenges to fulfill.
Unlike in Dorfromantik, however, in Nekokami you take on the role of a cat. Yes, you play as a cat in space, building new places on different planets. In the future, cats are the rulers of the universe and have taken it upon themselves to create and manage a new home for the extinct humans.
To fulfill your important task, you must earn the respect of the Kami – the nature spirits. After all, you are just a simple architect who is allowed to borrow the powerful abilities of these spirits to create new worlds in a god-like manner.
Graphically, the game aims to impress with a hand-drawn style. Everything is somewhat based on actual architecture from world history and various cultures. In the video, you could see deserts and pyramids alongside smaller huts, forests, and rivers.
Unlike in Dorfromantik, interaction with other cats will also play a role in Nekokami. You can already see in the video how you communicate with your colleagues, receiving tasks or information from them.
It is also interesting how the Kami are integrated into the gameplay. For example, in the video, you can see that it starts to rain when you earn the respect of a certain Kami. This rain then creates lakes and rivers in your landscape.
Aside from the targeted planning of your landscape, this aspect brings an interesting change to the genre.
