As always I shall try to keep this list updated at least once every four weeks until the post is again automatically locked after six months, preventing further edits.
In order to request any of these items you must go to the appropriate link for the Xbox Series X/S, Windows, PS5 or Steam. If you are playing on an older system it is simple to reach its page from one of these direct links. I am sure it goes without saying your player account must have sufficient Atoms available to pay for the item/s you choose. As part of the process Bethesda Support will respond to your request by ticket and email with the total cost of whatever you order.
This page from the Wikia entry for Fallout76 may help with working out some of the bundles' contents. I cannot swear for the accuracy of the data however as with all wikis it is community-created support material.
I have had quite a few comments asking how long you can expect to wait. The answer is that it varies. In my own experience I have had items redeemed for my character within two hours. I have also had to wait for more than a month. Much of the process seems to be automated now and I would say the average time these days seems between two to four days.

Dear friends,
I apologise for writing this thank you post so late, - I've been not home for over a week, forgot to take my happy mail with me and now I'm back home and have some time and energy to finally thank you all.

About 10 days ago my dog (2yo fixed male standard poodle) woke up in the middle of the night with diarrhea. He woke me up at least every hour to go outside and by the time it was morning, he was pooping just blood.
There was no change in his food, the only thing I could think of was he ate a fallen flower petal from a Valentine’s Day bouquet which has carnations and mums.
I called my vet and they said to put him on a bland diet to see if that would help before bringing him in. Well the next day he wasn’t pooping blood but he still had diarrhea and didn’t want to drink. He was very hungry though and I was adding wanted to the pumpkin and rice mixture I was giving him.
I decided to bring him in to see the vet the next day and they did an xray and took a stool sample. His stool sample came back with a bit of ecoli. His xray showed swollen stomach and colon. The vet put him on Metronidazole and Sucralfate. He just finished his last dose.
He is still not drinking except the water I add to his food. His gums are pale and dry and stool still soft. He pees every time he goes outside though.
My question is, what do I do and what could this be? I don’t have a lot of money to spend on a bunch of diagnostic testing. I already owe the vet for the xray as they allowed me to just pay half the and the other half in two weeks.
I’m scared for my boy. Please help.

I feel like absolute crap, tears are dripping down my face as I type this, so please forgive any spelling mistakes.
Our little poodle was a few weeks from turning 17. She had her issues: poor mobility, cancerous growth in the mouth, incontinence.
And yet, today she seemed as if almost everything was normal. She ate her food, recognized us, shook her tail as we scratched her ears...
I know that this decision eased her suffering in the long term. But dammit, who were we to cut her life this way? Did we play god?
Apologies for this, I just needed to release some steam. We loved her so much and so I give my love to you all as well. Happy Valentine's Day.

I just went through a nasty divorce. TLDR - it was an extremely abusive relationship, and I am very proud of myself for getting out. But unfortunately in the process, my ex husband stole my dog. I fought for her in the courts & however I could, and no one helped me, and I was unable to get her back. It breaks my heart to this day. It's been a year. The last time I saw her was last Valentine's Day. I miss her so much. She is MY dog. My first dog as an adult. My soul. My love. And she's gone. Because he just wanted to be petty & hurt me.
So, I've been coping on my own. Barely. I have an 18 month old son, and in the summer last year I tried to get a puppy & it didn't work. I knew it was too much to handle & I passed it up. I knew if the dog wasn't MY dog, Athena, then I didn't want it. I wasn't ready. I knew that.
A few months later, in October (like first week of Oct.) my mom & I were walking back from the park with my son & she starts talking about Doodles/Poodles for future pup. Like, in the years down the road. I made several comments like, "Oh yeah - maybe when my son's older." and stuff like that which clearly let her know I was not interested or ready right now. We moved on.
2 weeks later, she sends me pictures of black Golden Doodle puppies & says they're only $600. I responded and said, "That's a good deal - usually they're like $1200+ minimum." And that was it. She never asked, "Well - do you want one?" or anything. Then a few days later she says she's driving down to check them out. And I'm like, "Wtf? Why?" And she sends me another pic of a black boy one and says "he's so calm." and then says she wants that one. I said, "Well I have a trip coming up first week of november, so I don't want to get a puppy before then at the very least." She says okay and then drives back home.
Then a few days later, she texts me and says "We're picking him up on Sunday." And I'm like "WHAT?! What happened to waiting until after the trip?!" And she says, "Well she won't hold him THAT long..." (It was only like 2 weeks away) and I just... She never asked me. She NEVER said the words, "Do you want this puppy?" or "Do you want to get a puppy right now?" She just...DID it.
My dad has dementia & I know it's really hard on her being essentially alone in their big house, and that's fine if she wanted the dog for companionship - but I DIDN'T. And I was very clear about that.
So we get the dog & bring him home and he gets excited & jumps on my son, knocking him over. Normal puppy stuff, my son wasn't hurt, but I was in mama-bear mode and I snatched my son & left the house to get away from the dog with my son who was now crying. I said to my mom, "This is why I did not want a puppy and a baby! I can't handle both!" And she said at that time, I needed to "grow up" and that she raised two kids on her own (my dad was gone alot for work) and I just said, "This IS me being grown up. I'm being mature by telling you THIS is not something I can handle, nor do I want to!"
Fast forward to now - 4 months later. This dog is just... he's stupid. He's a puppy, I know. (And I've had dogs my whole life - so I am not naive when it comes to dogs & their behaviors, etc. so when I say these things, it's not out of inexperience or ignorance.) He doesn't listen. He tried to EAT A GLASS. He steals toys & shit. He does normal puppy stuff - but then like... multiply that by 1000. He eats socks. Then pukes them up. He's way bigger than I wanted. (Athena was only 20-25 lbs. This dog is nearly 50 lbs.) And he is just more than I care to deal with. I resent him for not being Athena. And I know that's not fair to him, and I try not to. But every time I think, "okay - it's gonna be okay..." he does something EVEN MORE stupid or awful and then I'm just sitting in a corner crying going, "WHY AM I STUCK WITH A DOG I DIDN'T WANT?!"
I haven't said anything to my mom up until today. Last night the dog kept me awake all night, and then woke up me up extra early because surprise surprise - he ate a pair of socks and was now puking them up. AGAIN. So I text her that I'm frustrated with this. And her response is, "Well we all tried to tell you that you have a baby right now, and don't need a dog. We tried to tell you - but you wanted him." And I saw RED.
NO I DID NOT WANT HIM. I TRIED TO TELL HER THAT I WASN'T READY. And she didn't listen! So now she's gaslighting me?! After I (calmly) pointed out that, NO, that wasn't what happened and that I did not want the dog originally, she stopped texting me back. Read the messages & said nothing. It's been 4 hours now. And I'm sitting here beating myself up because half of my brain is going, "Well mom is always right, so this is my fault." And the other half of my brain is going, "No - I did not want this dog. And I said that. She pushed for it, so this is HER fault. And I shouldn't feel bad."
BUT I CAN'T RECONCILE BETWEEN THOSE FEELINGS.... GAH. Any advice?
My mom has been a huge help through my divorce & as such, I try to give her a little grace because I'm grateful for her help & support. But this dog issue is just... Idk...

I've been looking into getting a poodle for a while now and I plan to get one sometime this year, and I'm looking for some good names. I plan to get a black female standard poodle.

Hi, all! I’m doing a Money Diaries Project where I write a money diary every day for a full year. I will just include a one-week sample in this monthly recap, but the rest will be posted on my profile when this throwaway account gets enough karma. This month is a little longer bc I’d like to provide background information.
Why?
I am doing this project because I want to be able to develop good financial habits before I live on a frighteningly low grad school stipend. Currently, I don’t keep track of my spending, and I feel that doing this will help me make my finances better.
Additionally, I have bipolar I disorder. Spending habits usually indicate my mood; I spend little while depressed, and TONS while manic. I feel that keeping a time-stamped diary will help me keep track of my fluctuating mood phases instead of being sucked into a depressive, nebulous haze (or a hot-electric manic one) with no clue how I got there.
Last time I did a money diary for myself, I realized that I spent a bunch of money on a stupid night out. I then realized I was manic. Other times too: twenty cases of La Croix in the back of my car for months, an antique rolltop desk I didn’t have space for. I hope this Truman-Show-esque look at my life will help me keep track of my manic spending and keep a better handle on my moods.
I inquired about interest in longer-form money diaries about a month back and am following the format advice I received on that post. I will post each week of money diaries on my Reddit profile. These money diaries are time-stamped and formatted like an R29 money diary. Every month, I will post a monthly recap that includes the total amount spent across eight categories: food, entertainment, home, beauty, health, social obligations, charity, and other. I will include one sample week per month in the diary, as suggested by some Redditors. I’ll track net worth variations month by month and include a section reflecting on my life and spending habits.
At the end of the year, we’ll zoom out for a yearly aggregate of my total spending. We’ll compare my spending to the cost of living in my area and reflect on whether I reached my spending/saving/investment goals.
I’m not sure how interesting my own spending habits will seem—but I wanted to try out this longer format. I’ve already seen some more year-long diaries starting, and it’s been really exciting.
Background:
There aren’t a lot of interesting things about me, but. for background, I WFH in the insurance industry, live in the Deep South (LCOL area) with my parents, have bipolar disorder, have been diagnosed with autism, and have a girlfriend that I plan to live with six months from now as I get my Master’s in English. I have a brother. My parents are extremely homophobic. I really like fragrances and am deeply involved in fandom. I try to dress like Ms. Frizzle.
Beginning of the Year Goals:
I want to save up 50k across all accounts by the time my grad school begins in late August. Additionally, I am going to move out with my girlfriend Moss in late July, and I want to develop a budget that will be sustainable on our low grad school stipends.
Work-wise, my main goal is to start developing a freelance writing gig on the side. I am going to leave my job to pursue an English master’s degree, and I want to be able to make some money while being able to set my hours. Freelancing seems like a good gig for someone with bipolar disorder, since my mood/motivation ebbs and flows episodically.
My personal goals are to treasure and value my girlfriend and friends, read and write all the time, and stay mentally stable. I also want to get started on a *novel* and submit some pieces to publications.

Biggest Single Purchase? The $115 I sent to one of my friends
Here’s the sample week:
Day 1 12am: New Year’s Day! I celebrate at the pond in my neighborhood. The pond is scummy and surrounded by straw. At 12am, my girlfriend cups my face and kisses me, promises that we will spend every New Year’s together. Ever since we’ve started dating, I’ve been more thankful for the things I have and more afraid of losing them.
2am: Go to sleep.
10am I wake up, play Cookie Clicker, my favorite anti-capitalist idle clicking game. I eat some Doritos and Little Debbie’s Valentine’s cakes for breakfast and drink some Diet Coke. Junk food in January feels weird. This is the first year my New Year’s resolution isn’t “lose weight”.
11am: I put on some Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sunscreen—it is inexpensive and has a nice texture and smell. Then, I go out to walk around my neighborhood and get on a call with my best friend Wayne. We talk about reporting their former employer for some pretty egregious OSHA violations.
12:30pm I walk about a mile to meet up with my girlfriend Moss. Moss and I walk back to my neighborhood and then drive to Wendy’s to get the Pretzel Baconator, drinks, and two Frosty’s key tags (it’s a 3 dollar deal where you can get unlimited Frosty’s for a whole year) I pay for both of us ($30.56) We go to Walmart to pick up gf’s birth control.
2:00pm Moss and I get back home and snuggle while watching videos. Then, Moss takes a nap, and I work on some grad school stuff and buy some stuff on Amazon: a portable door lock, a Maybelline Vinyl Matte Lip in the shade “Royal” (holy grail), and The Collected Schizophrenias by Esme Weijun Wang ($41.95).
4:45pm Moss and I snuggle while watching Succession. Kendall Roy is the stupidest man alive.
6:30pm I eat the rest of my pretzel baconator and leftover fries. Work more on grad school stuff.
8pm Call my friends Jagger, Alex, and Cake. Eat some more Little Debbie Cakes.
12:15am Go to bed.
Daily Total: $72.51
Day 2
8:00am Wake up, log in to work, and attend a meeting about the game plan for today. We’re doing a system conversion today, so everything is down. My manager strongly hinted that we can rest on our laurels today because the next couple of weeks are going to be BUSY. That’s what I’m going to do.
I watch my email in case something pops up, but it never does, so I just write and read a little.
12:00pm I eat some leftover pulled pork and green beans.
1pm I go to my psychiatrist appointment. This takes a grand total of ten minutes. I tell him that my antipsychotic is causing extrapyramidal symptoms (a side effect where you restlessly move your arms and legs because of the medication). It sucks. I wish I could meet with a psychiatrist for like, an hour or more, to really discuss things because all my medications have severe side effects.
2:00pm I call my friend Jagger; we talk. I work on some recently assigned security trainings. After hanging up, I read some of The Collected Schizophrenias. I couldn’t bear to wait for it to arrive from amazon, so I just read a PDF online. It’s really good.
4:30pm Off work! Moss calls me, I talk to them for about 30 minutes.
6:00pm I eat some baked ziti and salad and work some on a personal essay.
9:00pm I call my bff Wayne, who has reviewed and critiqued my personal essay. Their feedback is really good.
Daily Total: $0
Day 3
7:36am Wake up. Shit. I’ve woken up about 30 minutes late. I zombie over to the bathroom and get ready for work. Today my work is transitioning all of their data to a new software, so we’ll see how that goes.
8:00am Arrive at work on time, somehow. I open up the new software, and it’s a bit of a mess—we’ll see if it becomes messier. My boss orders us breakfast from a local cafe.
10am The new system is malfunctioning. It’s like I’m the audience of a play, and the curtain parts to reveal everything being consumed by the flames of hell. I keep getting locked out of my account. Systems are down. Work is piling up.
11am My boss calls my team lead a stupid fuck behind his back.
11:30am Lunch! I eat a bag of Doritos and drink a Dr. Pepper Strawberries and Cream. Call my gf, write some emails to professors.
12:30pm I work the rest of the day, get a total of two (2) things done.
4:30pm Work goes to dinner at Chili’s. I get a very sirloin steak with a very gummy texture. My sides are asparagus and broccoli. ($17.43)
6:30 I get home and contemplate ordering candles and a discount advent calendar, but I don’t. I work on an essay I’m writing about my bipolar disorder. I think the general public’s knowledge about bipolar disorder is pretty lacking, and I want to help fill that gap with my own (terrible) personal experiences.
9:00 Call Moss.
11pm: Go to bed.
Daily Total: $17.43
Day 4:
7:30am Wake up, put on an 80s sweater I got from the Goodwill bins. Wear a Rom&nd lip stain (K beauty). The lipstain is excellent and smells like a strange, yet wonderful and otherworldly take on berry.
8:00am Arrive at the office. There is a backlog of work in our shared queue. I stress eat two bags of Doritos.
12:00pm Check out for lunch. Call my best friend Wayne, talk about grad stuff, and walk around a nearby shopping center.
1:00pm Check back into work. Continue to work in the new system. I have lots of questions.
4:30pm Check out. Buy some batteries for my car keys ($10.69)
5:00pm I eat dinner, which is baked ziti and pizza. Work on my personal essay about my bipolar disorder
7:00pm Pick up girlfriend, hang out, watch Succession. Kendall is so fuckable in this episode. I’m sorry. I deeply apologize—I know he has no morals, but the heart wants what the heart wants. My girlfriend Moss massages my pained back.
10:30pm I go to bed.
Daily Total: $10.69
Day 5:
8am Excruciating pain searing down my back is the thing wakes me up, not my alarm clock. My mattress has a laughably deep indent in the middle. It’s time for an upgrade, but I know I’ll probably be too lazy to make a positive choice for myself. Clock into work.
9am I have a meeting that could have been twenty minutes, but is instead an hour and a half.
11:45pm Clock out, take a shower, eat a Southwest frozen quinoa bowl from Aldi’s that I bought a long time ago (tastewise it’s 5/10)
12:45am Clock in. Stress order some athletic clothes on Thredup: two spandex workout shirts, two workout skirts, and shitty Lularoe leggings I got for ironic camp value. (it’s not immoral to buy MLM leggings if you buy secondhand) ($32.34)
3:30pm Start organizing my clothes into a donate pile before clocking out.
4:30pm Try desperately to work on my writing, but I can’t.
6:00pm Get picked up by my gf to go judge a high school debate tournament Eat free lasagna and salad at the debate tournament, alongside some cream puffs which explode in my palms when I try to bite them.
7:30pm I judge a congressional debate preliminary round, which lasts 2.5 hours. The kids are good, albeit a little overconfident and informal. I sit next to a high school theatre teacher, who talks to me like an adult, and I realize that I AM an adult, just like my former teachers. What a mindfuck.
9:30 I return home only to discover I have a jury summons for later this month (wooooooo! I get off work and still get paid!). It’s one of my friends’ birthdays, so I get on a call with everyone and watch some Youtube videos.
12:00am Go to bed
Daily Total: $32.34
Day 6:
8:30am Wake up to more searing pain in my back. I think I need to replace my mattress. Clean up a little bit before my best friend Wayne comes over from out of town.
9:45am Wayne comes in, we get cookies from a local grocery store. My card declines because the chip was damaged at a Waffle House visit (I spilled syrup on it, and even after washing it off, it never recovered). Venmo Wayne ($8.07.) Guess it’s time to pay for everything in cash!
11:00am We exchange presents!!!!!! Wayne got me a dress, custom postcards from my favorite show, an antique perfume bottle, a poetry book, and they wrote me a fanfiction for my favorite show of all time!!!! (yes, I love fanfiction and Ao3, and regularly buy commissions. I got Wayne a custom wall clock themed after their favorite show, a headscarf with toucans on it, a shirt, and a decant of a Christmas perfume! It was an awesome Christmas!
12:45pm We go to a local Japanese all-you-can eat place. I gobble down like 9 shrimp shumai and a sushi roll. Venmo K ($25). Then, we go to a local tea shop, and I get some tea, paying entirely in cash because of the sticky card situation. Venmo Wayne ($8)
1:30pm We go to a local thrift store that’s very thoughtfully curated! And the prices are great! And my debit card works this time! I get a skirt, a heart-shaped brooch, blue lingerie, and a garfield button. I got another button (my favorite button). It says “Love isn’t love until you give it away.” ($17.82) The sentiment of this button sticks with me. I gnaw on it the whole way home, and, even after Wayne leaves, I consider what constitutes love.
4:00pm Get coffee with a friend. They are in a depressive episode, but are doing better since I last saw them.
7:00pm Moss drives me to a punk show for Palestine. I donate 20 dollars to the charity the concert is supporting. We listen to some Palestinian poems. The poetry is really beautiful. I pray for peace. ($20).
9:00pm Moss and I get dinner at Olive Garden. I get a glass of hypersweet red wine and a creamy mushroom pasta. I get pretty drunk (meds make me a lightweight). I try to convince Moss that we can scam Olive Garden by starving for days and then binging on the unlimited soup and salads. ($30) On the way home, I spend $10 on a case of beer that tastes like melted hair (yuck!) ($10)
11:00pm Watch videos with Jagger and Alex on call. After I get off the call, I give Moss kisses.
12:30am I go to sleep.
Daily Total: $110.89
Day 7: 8:30am: Wake up. Work on grad school emails and my CV before going to church.
10:00am Go to church. I’m not religious, but going to church is a condition of staying in my parents’ house. The pastor talks Jesus’ love—love somehow doesn’t extend to gay folk like me.
I scribble on the church bulletin. I feel kind of like a kid.
12:00pm Eat lunch at my grandma’s house (spaghetti casserole, salad, brussel sprouts, a tart from a bakery nearby). Chill with my grandma a little bit.
2pm: Work on this Money Diary and some grad school stuff.
3:30pm Go to Homegoods with my friends for Alex’s birthday. We look at all the cute decor before going to a local pizza place and splitting a pizza four ways. I venmo Moss $12 to cover my share plus tip. ($12)
6:00pm Go back to Alex’s house; cuddle her dog—-a cavalier poodle mix who licks me on the face. Alex’s dog has a pumpkin toy she carries in her mouth because, as Alex says, “her feelings are too big for her body.” I understand that.
8:00pm Moss drives me back to my house, and we call with the whole gang (Alex, Jagger, Phineas, and Moss)----Jagger lives in West Virginia, so we migrated from in-person hanging out to call so we could include him.
9:30pm I start falling asleep during the call, so I go to bed.
Daily Total: $12
Weekly Total: $255.66
Monthly Notes:
This was a pretty boring month for me overall. But for people with bipolar, boring is GOOD—it means that the meds are working. I feel like I spent a lot on stuff I didn’t need, especially fast food. Mood-wise, I began the month at the tail end of hypomania, but now I feel like I’m slipping into a bit of a depression. It’s not too intense. I spent a large portion of this month working on grad school stuff. I feel as though I’m in a weird liminal, in-between space in my life, like I’m living in the backrooms or something. I spend days and days without leaving the house, and it’s not even a clean house—there’s toothpaste in the sink and clutter scattered all over the ground.
My girlfriend and friends make my heart fuller than I could have ever imagined, but it’s not enough. I feel, like, this constant yearning, but nothing I do makes it better. I spend probably 10 hours a day looking at various screens, being inundated with bright lights. Every night before I go to bed, I don’t feel tired; I just feel done. I feel like I spend to take away this feeling—as if buying things that make my day more efficient or productive would satisfy me.
It’s time for more therapy and more meds, guys.
Reflections & Questions: This has been a pretty okay month, I guess. I’m going to do 12 of these total, so just let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to add or subtract for the next one :). Also, any tips on reducing screentime?

We are Shadowbox Studio, a performance space/ photo studio in beautiful, scenic Durham NC. Come and see what's going on in February!
