In dieser Folge sprechen wir über das kontroverse und mittlerweile zurückgezogene Monster Hunter Secret Lair von Magic: The Gathering. Was als Hype unter Fans zweier großer Franchises begann, endete in einem echten Desaster: fehlerhafte Präsentation, schlechte Kommunikation – und Karten, die im Grunde nur umbenannte Reprints bereits existierender Magic-Karten sind.Wir gehen Karte für Karte durch, vergleichen die neuen Monster-Hunter-Namen mit ihren ursprünglichen Magic-Pendants und analysieren, warum dieses Secret Lair so viele Spieler enttäuscht hat. Außerdem diskutieren wir, was dieses Beispiel über Qualitätskontrolle, Markenpflege und Universes Beyond aussagt – und was sich ändern müsste.

Gubbel, Gubbel, Gubbel...so oder so ähnlich hört sich (oder liest sich) der Laut eines Truthahns an. Es ist Thanksgiving Week. Ein großes Fest in den USA und ein Football-Feiertag weltweit. Gefüllter Truthahn mit Pumpkin oder Apple Sauce als Beilage steht am Donnerstag auf jedem Tisch in den Staaten. Bei uns kommen vier Partien auf den Speiseplan. Denn in dieser Folge blicken wir auf die wichtigsten Storylines und Matchups der Thanksgiving Spiele. Für wen ist die Partie Packers at Lions richtungsweisender und kann Green Bay Jahmyr Gibbs (erneut) stoppen? In welcher Verfassung werden die Chiefs und die Cowboys im direkten Duell sein (vielleicht mal konstant über vier Viertel)? Geht die Aufholjagd der AFC North Divisionleader Baltimore auch gegen die Bengals mit dem zurückkehrenden Joe Burrow weiter und wieso läuft Lamar eigentlich so wenig? Außerdem schauen wir auf das NFC Top Duell beim Black Friday Game. All diese Spiele gibt es live auf DAZN. Dankbar sind wir auch ob der ganzen Playoff-Konstellationen. Deshalb überlegen wir uns - mit Hilfe genauester Berechnungen von Christoph (der junge Albert Einstein) und durch Unterstützung des inneren Gefühls von Flo zur aktuellen Form der Teams - welche Franchises könnten noch in die Playoffs kommen, die aktuell auf KEINEM Postseason-Spot stehen und wer müsste dafür Platz machen? Realistisch oder nicht, die Glaskugel hat gesprochen und eins können wir festhalten: Das letzte Drittel der NFL regular season wird richtig spannend. Lasst euch diese Ausgabe und den Truthahn schmecken. Happy Thanksgiving!

De hele week werd gesmacht naar de cijfers van Nvidia, want die zouden bewijzen: die AI-bubbel bestaat niet. Héél even leek het nog waar te zijn ook. Maar het sentiment sloeg snel om, en toen trok onze redder alle beurzen met zich mee omlaag, ondanks die mega goede cijfers. Ook op onze eigen AEX staan de chipaandelen lager. Waar het misging en hoe die onverklaarbare omslag nu te verklaren valt, bespreken we deze aflevering. Je hoort ook waarom defensie-aandelen vandaag weer fors lager staan en waarom een vredesplan van Donald Trump en Vladimir Poetin beleggers kennelijk meer overtuigd dan groeiprognoses van het Duitse Rheinmetall, het bedrijf dat het meest inlevert. Dan duiken we ook nog in de cijfers van gamereus Ubisoft en moeten we het nog eens hebben over het bedrijf achter oorwurm Baby Shark. Het bedrijf ging naar de beurs dinsdag en het aandeel won direct 60 procent aan waarde, maar daar is drie dagen later niks meer van over. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

C dans l'air du 4 novembre 2025 : Aides sociales, santé : la fin de la "générosité" ?Une nouvelle étape du marathon budgétaire s'ouvre ce mardi à l'Assemblée : après avoir mis sur pause les débats sur la partie « recettes » du projet de loi de finances, les députés s'attaquent à l'examen du budget de la Sécurité sociale, et des coupes sévères sont avancées. Franchises médicales, durée des arrêts de travail, cotisation sur les tickets-restaurant… Le gouvernement a prévu des économies massives pour réduire le déficit de la Sécu à 17,5 milliards d'euros en 2026, contre 23 cette année.Les discussions s'annoncent inflammables, et le texte sera sans aucun doute remanié. Le Premier ministre, Sébastien Lecornu, a lui-même déclaré vendredi être prêt à renoncer au gel des pensions de retraite et des minima sociaux, l'une des mesures les plus contestées. Une nouvelle concession, après avoir fait inscrire la suspension de la réforme des retraites dans le texte, l'une des conditions du Parti socialiste pour ne pas censurer. « En réalité, c'est sur le PLFSS que le sort du gouvernement se joue dans les jours qui viennent », a déclaré à l'AFP le socialiste Jérôme Guedj."Si on n'a pas le courage de s'attaquer à bras-le-corps à son équilibre, ça va déraper. On va arriver à un moment où on ne sera plus capable de payer les retraites, de payer les remboursements", a estimé, de son côté, le ministre du Travail ce matin sur France Inter. "Il faut faire attention, je ne suis pas sûr que notre pays ait les moyens de poursuivre ces politiques de générosité maximale", a également averti Jean-Pierre Farandou.Parmi les sujets en discussion, la question des affections de longue durée (ALD) risque notamment de donner ces prochains jours matière à de vifs échanges. Celles-ci concernent des maladies dont la gravité ou le caractère chronique nécessitent un traitement prolongé (cancers, accidents vasculaires cérébraux invalidants, diabète de type 1 ou 2, certaines affections psychiatriques, etc.). « L'augmentation inédite des maladies chroniques invite à une réforme profonde du dispositif des affections de longue durée (ALD) : 26 % de la population pourrait relever de ce dispositif en 2035, soit 18 millions de personnes représentant les trois quarts de la dépense d'Assurance maladie, contre 14 millions de bénéficiaires en 2022 », écrit le gouvernement dans le dossier accompagnant la présentation du PLFSS 2026. Nos journalistes ont rencontré des Français atteints d'affections de longue durée (ALD).Ils sont aussi allés à Chalon-sur-Saône, où le ministre de l'Industrie, Sébastien Martin, a piloté pendant dix ans la réindustrialisation du site Kodak, fermé en 2008.LES EXPERTS :- Christophe BARBIER - Éditorialiste politique, conseiller de la rédaction - Franc-Tireur - Carl MEEUS - Rédacteur en chef - Le Figaro Magazine - Gaëlle MACKE - Directrice déléguée de la rédaction - Challenges - Marc VIGNAUD - Journaliste en charge du suivi des politiques économiques – L'Opinion
