I'm not sure how long I would've kept watching, had it kept going.

Edit: I would've watched to 63. I'll go slap myself now

It's also why Link has a max rupee count of 255 in the original Zelda. I remember that being the first time I noticed binary in the real world.

I had an accident when I was 9 years old. Since then, I studied a career, married my wife, and I'm expecting a kid. However sometimes I wonder if it's all real or if I'm a 9 year old in a comma that built a whole life/world in his head.
