Munich – November 03, 2026 -- Germans are the most likely in Europe to say that "cute" no longer just means "cute-looking." A new Sanrio-commissioned study finds that 50.8% of German respondents see the word's meaning shifting, the highest share of any of the five countries surveyed.

Half of Germans say "cute" has changed in a decade

In the "Hello Kitty: Beyond Cute" study, 51% of German adults say the term means something different than it did ten years ago. Among Gen Z the share is nearly two-thirds. Those who see a change link cuteness mainly with positive feelings (30%) and with kindness and care (22%). Appearance alone matters less than it once did.

Germany also posts the highest share of people who feel more connected to others after a cute moment, at 44.1%. Another 44.5% tie cuteness to community and mutual kindness.

Foundry is not limited to Steam. Players can also join through the STOVE PC Client and on mobile devices. For a limited time, the server runs independent PvP matchmaking for people starting Epic Seven for the first time.

Settlement events speed up early progress

A Settlement Support Buff Event, live since Oct. 29, accelerates Hero and account growth and includes daily free Hero summons. Logging in or playing through content also earns Equipment, growth materials and Hero Skins.

More than 100,000 players joined the Steam Wishlist Event that began in August.

Unterföhring -- ProSieben airs "TV total – Das Quiz" on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at 8:15 p.m., with Sebastian Pufpaff as quizmaster. The network bills it as the first quiz show for TV nerds. It is also available to stream on Joyn.

Three guests compete on the nipple buzzer

Comedienne Tahnee, comedy newcomer Björn von Morgenstern and presenter Pierre M. Krause play seven rounds at the "Nippelbuzzer" (nipple buzzer). They play for the studio audience.

Rounds range from scathing comments to action painting

In the "Shitshow" round, contestants must work out which TV program is being described using only harsh social-media comments. In "Hör mal, wie das klinkt!" (roughly, "Listen to how that sounds!"), the studio band Klinke Supreme blends well-known TV melodies, and players must identify them.

In "The Joy of Puffi," Pufpaff paints a celebrity on canvas in an action-painting session, and the contestants guess who it is.

Shenzhen – November 03, 2026 -- A new documentary, Shenzhen: People Who Build the Future, follows seven residents of the Chinese metropolis and is guided by two-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker Malcolm Clarke, who writes and narrates it.

Seven people carry the story of the city

The film skips the familiar skylines and the headline economic growth. Instead, it presents the city through seven individuals from different generations, whose personal journeys define Shenzhen's pulse.

The lineup spans the early builders who laid the city's groundwork, tech dreamers working on supercars and robotics, international educators, and artists who carry Chinese culture abroad.

Clarke's perspective shapes the film

The documentary focuses on the resilience, grit, and imagination of a place where the future is built by hand rather than only envisioned. Clarke narrates throughout, giving the film a single guiding voice.
