Posting to Reddit on Tuesday, user u/euisalk said she was fed up with people being nicer to her since slimming down, as well as angry at the way she was treated prior to her weight loss. Unfortunately, her newfound confidence led to an “awkward” confrontation with some fatphobic relatives at a family party. In less than a day, the woman’s post has received over 11,000 likes and more than 1,200 comments, with users applauding the woman for taking a stand....

Of course, Fallout: New Vegas is quite a bit older now, so some of the surprises might not be as fresh as they once were. For players who want a bit of wonderment and confusion back in their playthroughs, a door randomizer mod will definitely leave players feeling lost and puzzled.

Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communication for Bethesda, Pete Hines, took to KindaFunny’s ‘We Have Cool Friends’ podcast to discuss some of the backlash of the game, claiming that it was worth trying something different even if the end result didn’t turn heads like he was expecting. “We tried something that was a pretty big change of change of direction for that studio,” Hines states, before continuing “And just because it didn’t go well doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do that....

Specifically, Fallout 76’s next update, which is planned for next week, will increase Stash limits to 800 pounds, allowing players to lighten the loads of their characters with additional storage opportunities. “Like last time, we are constantly evaluating storage space and discussing ways we can make improvements,” Bethesda’s post about the update indicates.

Speaking in an interview at PAX Australia, Bethesda Spokesperson Pete Hines made sure to clarify that Fallout 76’s microtransactions would be purely cosmetic and offer no competitive advantage over other players exploring the Wasteland. This very important, as PVP is a major component of the game, and the ability to purchase weapons in-game will cause some unbalanced scenarios almost without fail. Fallout 76’s microtransactions will use a system called Atoms, which players can either earn in-game or purchase with real-world money....

The release date for Fallout 76 is in line with previous rumors, but also contradicts others. For example, many theorized that Fallout 76 would release this year, as Bethesda tends to avoid announcing games years in advance (though there were a couple of exceptions tonight in the form of Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6). However, many others thought the game would be available in late October, which has turned out to be false....

Called The Fall of 76, this latest video from a user known as Internet Historian covers the entire story of Fallout 76 from when it was first revealed in full, through the many issues, up to where the game is now. Using a lot of creative editing and photoshop skills, the video is also wildly entertaining when discussing some of the lesser interesting issues of the game itself.

Rice, a former Baltimore Ravens running back, is a free agent. On Friday, an arbiter decided the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell had erred in levying an indefinite suspension on Rice for cold-cocking his fiancée in a shocking instance of domestic abuse caught on video. The problem? Rice already had been suspended two games for the incident. The longer banishment was deemed double jeopardy. What remains is for the league to pick up the pieces from its mistake, as well for Rice to get on with his life with or without football....

At the moment, however, it’s unclear as to whether this release will expand to other consoles. Bethesda marketing executive Pete Hines was asked about when a potential Fallout Shelter release would be coming to PS4 over on Twitter, and the response will not exactly inspire confidence from owners on the Sony console after a Fallout Shelter experience. “Dunno,” said the vice president of PR and marketing. “We didn’t make it for Xbox....

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act was passed by the House on Saturday morning, but on Monday night the chamber approved major changes to the bill’s sick leave provisions before it was passed to the Republican-controlled Senate.

Jeff von Rotz, the now-former president of Valbella Gourmet Foods in Canmore, Canada, sent the email to coordinators of the town’s Pride events on Tuesday.

These collaborations usually come in costumes that can be purchased in two parts, each one costing a certain amount of kudos and run for a very limited time. These costumes however are quite wacky, as players can be dressed in a sillier and bean-like version of certain video game heroes or properties. Fall Guys has seen past crossovers with franchises like Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Monkey Ball, and more recently, the PlayStation game Sackboy....

For other immigrant groups, America has been a land of opportunity, with each successive generation climbing higher on the educational ladder. For many Hispanics, it’s just the opposite. In one of the two recent studies conducted at the University of Texas at Austin, Frank D. Bean and Jorge Chapa found that the longer Mexican-American families are in the United States, the lower their children’s educational level will sink. There are differences among various Hispanic as a group are now nearly three times more likely to drop out of school than either blacks or whites: by the age of 17, almost one in five Hispanics has dropped out, compared with roughly one in 16 blacks and one in 15 whites....

“The velodrome suffered damage to the roof, but there is no structural risk,” Rio’s fire department said in a statement.
