The fantastical clip sees Bridgers and some live-action role-playing friends driving around until they stop off at a petrol station, where they interrupt <i>Licorice Pizza<\/i> star Skyler Gisondo playing <i>Old School RuneScape<\/i>. After his encounter with the merry band, Gisondo\u2019s character returns home and starts training with iconic <i>RuneScape<\/i> weapon, the pickaxe. He\u2019s then welcomed into their clan for a woodland rave. The video ends with Bridgers and Gisondo inside a <i>RuneScape<\/i>-inspired virtual world as a chirpy, 8-bit remix of \u2018Lost Boys\u2019 plays.<\/p>\n<p>Doubling down on the millennial nostalgia, Phoebe Bridgers has now released a \u2018Lost Boys\u2019 ringtone and launched a desktop game that brings together <i>RuneScape <\/i>and <i>Temple Run<\/i>.
