esports hiring Now that we’re done with peculiar festive events, it’s time to dive into BitLife once again and take on the Under the Influence challenge. This time, our character is chasing social media fame while tackling a few addictions. BitLife Under the Influence challenge guide BitLife’s Under the Influence challenge has five tasks to complete: Be born in Germany Get Verified on 3+ different social media platforms Develop an alcohol addiction Develop a gambling addiction Troll 5+ people on social media Although you’re not required to purchase any special career packs or expansions for this challenge, having ones like musician, athlete, or modeling will make it much easier to become famous and gain social media popularity. The Hollywood Star can also achieve a similar result. If you don’t have either and want to avoid spending money, though, you can finish this challenge without pursuing these routes. Your first task of the Under the Influence challenge is to create a character born in Germany. Your gender and city don’t matter for this challenge as long as you select Germany as your country in the character creation menu. Once you make your German character, age up and create some social media accounts. You can access this by going to Assets, Social Media , and any platform you wish. Right away, you can make a Twitch account and join the Affiliate program, giving you an avenue to become famous early on through streaming. Otherwise, there are other methods you can use. After joining Twitch as your first verified social media platform, you have two main paths to getting other verified accounts: actively post on various platforms until you cultivate a following, or become famous through other means before making your accounts. Becoming famous makes this much easier, but you can use whichever strategy you prefer. BitLife offers multiple ways to become famous, with the jobs below being just a few examples: Writer Chef DJ Magician Socialite Musician (Special Career Pack) Actor (Special Career Pack) Model (Special Career Pack) Astronaut (Special Career Pack) Athlete (Special Career Pack) Being royalty achieves the same result, but this is much harder to accomplish, even with the celebrity dating service added in 2024. Generally speaking, becoming famous requires you to land one of these jobs and work hard for a few years until you get lucky and catch the public’s eye. From there, you can create a few in-game social media accounts, age up once or twice, and request verification to knock out this task. The next two tasks of the Under the Influence challenge are to develop alcohol and gambling addictions. You can gain addictions in BitLife by repeatedly engaging in the activity. With alcohol, visiting a nightclub through Activities > Nightlife will quickly get you there, while gambling requires visiting the casino multiple times a year. The final objective is the easiest, as it just requires you to troll five people on social media. To do this, head to any of your social media platforms and select Troll. From here, you can troll friends, family, celebrities, or BitLife App themselves, but the last option will give you various illnesses that can be difficult to cure. Once you troll at least five people, you’ll officially complete BitLife’s Under the Influence challenge and receive a mystery gift box.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Shaquil Barrett is rejoining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs signed the two-time Super Bowl champion on Saturday, while also announcing safety Jordan Whitehead was activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s home game against the Carolina Panthers. Barrett spent five seasons with Tampa Bay from 2019 to 2023. He led the NFL with a franchise-record 19 1-2 sacks in his first year with the Bucs, then helped the team win its second Super Bowl title the following season. In all, Barrett started 70 games with Tampa Bay, amassing 45 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and three interceptions. He was released last winter in a salary cap move, signed a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins in free agency, then abruptly announced his retirement on social media before the start of training camp in July. Barrett, who also won a Super Bowl during a four-season stint with the Denver Broncos, decided to unretire last month. He signed with the Bucs after clearing waivers earlier in the week. Whitehead has missed the past four games with a pectoral injury. His return comes of the heels of the Bucs placing safety Christian Izien on IR with a pectoral injury. On Saturday, the Bucs also activated rookie wide receiver Kameron Johnson from IR and elevated punter Jack Browning to the active roster from the practice squad. ___ NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl The Associated PressNo. 22 St. John's, Georgia pack busy schedule with game on Sunday

Former Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is signing with the Minnesota Vikings, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Jones will join Minnesota’s practice squad less than a week after the Giants released the former No. 6 overall draft pick, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement hasn’t been finalized. Sam Darnold has helped the Vikings start 9-2. Jones joins Nick Mullens and Brett Rypien in Minnesota’s quarterback room. Rookie first-round pick J.J. McCarthy had season-ending knee surgery in August and a second procedure on his knee earlier this month. Jones went 24-44-1 as a starter in New York, with his best season in 2022 when the Giants went 9-7-1 and beat Minnesota on the road in the first round of the playoffs. Jones completed just 63% of his passes with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions this season.
