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.

The old trope of forgetting your wedding anniversary cheat code.

  At least we know he’s not cheating

  We got around this by keeping the same number but swapping the months out. Started dating in August, actually got legally married same month, but the ceremony was in October all of the same day. I used the cheat code of familiarity to never forget.

  I proposed on 01/01 and got married on 07/07. Both 2001 so 01/01/01 for the proposal but I didn't want to wait until 07/07/07. I originally wanted to do 01:01 on the 1st but we both were asleep by then. We dated for almost a year before the proposal.

The fact that they did live happily ever after just makes it even sweeter

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 https://archive.is/SeCmf

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

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

"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.

    "had" or "has"? Huge difference! I will assume "has". Edit: oops, yeah, "have", not "has". My bad. :P
    - alchemist1e9 10mo ago
      sorry I changed to “have”.
    - inanutshellus 10mo ago
      Arguably Melissa had four and thus they have four, eh?

      “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!
        johnisgood 10mo ago
        You continue to have kids! :D
