I saw this on Reddit a couple months ago and had a sudden pang of nostalgia about it this morning. But I couldn’t remember the exact quote, or the name of the comic, or the name of the game. So I asked B.

Me: I require your extensive knowledge of video games!!
B: Okay, go.
Me: I think it’s from the 80s or 90s. And you’re a kid rebuilding the world or something, I think with the help of aliens? I think it was for PC. Called small world or perfect world or something. It’s an open ended game. And frequently underrated? I think you play as an 8 year old blonde boy. I think it was 8 bit.
B: [several suggestions, all wrong].
Me: I don’t think so.
B: A [his wife] suggests Earthbound.
Me: Yes!!
B: WHAT.
Me: That’s it!!
B: WHATWHATWHAT. That meets literally 0% of the criteria you set out. Literally.

A knows me so well. <3
