The heart-warming gem: > I sent a note about these Easter eggs to Scott Corley [the game's developer]. He said that he had recently pulled out the game to show the marriage proposal to his son. But he’d forgotten the code and couldn’t make it work! He and Melissa did indeed live happily ever after.

"Ever after" with a time limit. If you actually google as someone suggested, the third hit is for the divorce proceedings.

Wrong marriage. They are still married today and had four children.

Not video games, but the article reminded me of marriage proposals in scientific articles: https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822%281... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037843711...

The one I wrote in Perl did. It also worked. https://github.com/pgporada/ourperlgame

I always find stories like this fascinating and heartwarming.

Why?

B/c:

- My wife is not nerdy or technical at all

- In fact, I'm the only one in my entire extended family (cousins etc) that is technical

So anytime I hear a story about married couples where both are SWEs (or equivalent) it's wild to me.
