  • "A decades long search. After leaving the latest dig site where we hoped to find the device. I glanced over to my passenger seat. To my surprise, there it was, for nearly 100 years there it always was.

    My grandfather wasted a lifetime of savings exploring the far expanse of this continent in search of this iPad. He died not knowing what became of his beloved, a whisper of defeat on his final breath “Find my device… find my… urgh… never found! Oh God it’s just darkness… I’ll never kno… no noooo…” he said as his face twisted into fear and heart finally gave out. I was only a small boy then, now the years and those words weighed heavily on me.

    Stripped of joy, only sadness flooded into me. With disbelief I reached over as I wept, utterly broken."







  • I’ll up vote this. I can’t pick it up any further because I’m sick of hearing about all the companions “troubled pasts”.

    It’s also so over the top for each of them, it would be more refreshing if one of them just had a normal cliche backstory. Instead everyone is extremely damaged and fucked up it’s like playing D&D with a PTSD Support group.

    “Oh yeah so sorry you had to watch your mother shoot up heroin and pass out every night with a different stranger. That’s pretty sad. Well um hate to interrupt, but uh just want to um keep the game going… So let’s roll to kick this goblin off a cliff.”





  • Um actually, in the US you can get fired for THC in your system for recreational use. Some states, even if it’s medical.

    Yes it’s bullshit, but that’s the problem with it not being federally legal and companies in multiple states. You will probably lose if you fight it, use of marijuana is not protected and your employer is protected from you arguing it is because firing you for this still falls under “at-will” termination.

    Only mentioning this to dispel the idea other folks will get away with this. You just got lucky it seems.
