One of the kinder humans I've had the pleasure of knowing and one of the best people I've worked for. He and his wife met playing World of Warcraft. Also, the IRL engagement ring has a UV reactive stone and the same inscription.

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.

Or he could have just googled "scott corley melissa". Using archive.is just because the article is region locked to US-only: https://archive.is/SeCmf

Good thing he didn't just do that, because we got a some good information from Scott's reply.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

“Have” is the word you are looking for, “has” isn’t grammatically correct. However, “had” in past tense is also correct, as it refers to the fact that they were born in the past, it does not imply (as you seem to be saying) that the children aren’t alive anymore.

I used to have kids. I still do, but I used to too!

You continue to have kids! :D

That reminds me about an easter egg[1] in arcade racing game Horizon Chase. If you trace a heart shape (on mobile device/nintendo switch screen) at the start of the race, it plays a short video with a proposal at the end. Game is very fun too. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoeKgQifaO4

Fun fact: The song is a music-box version of a song he'd written decades previously: https://youtu.be/LhZHntVt6cI

Not that it matters, but we would get the same information if he was able to show it to his son that time.
