I don't regularly play video games and I have yet to play this one, but a Facebook post led me to this video showing a scene from the recently-released The Last of Us Part II for the PlayStation 4.
Set in a post-apocalyptic United States, players control 19-year-old Ellie through a survival storyline. But there is an interlude to the game's more action-adventure and horror scenes that is relevant to our community here.
I don't want to give away too much, as the way the scene is revealed and unfolds is really quite charming. I feel the entire video is worth watching, but if you want to skip ahead to the on-topic material, jump to 17 minutes, 35 seconds.
(Two words of caution: there is strong language, so take heed if watching with or around young children, and there is a jump scare in this video after the part that is on subject for this site.)

Whether you are a fan of space exploration history or of the game on which the series is based, "The Last of Us" has just delivered a real blast from the past.
In the penultimate episode of the second season, which premiered Sunday night (May 18) on HBO Max, the story briefly visits the Wyoming Museum of Science and History.
