2147483647 is just a glorified version of 255, being the 32-bit integer limit.
This one applies to more recent games than 255, because pretty much all games can hold 32-bit numbers by now, unlike the 8-bit stuff a few decades ago.
Also I like these bit limits because it's exponential growth of exponential growth
8-bit: 255
16-bit: 32767
32-bit: 2147483647
64-bit: 9223372036854775807
128-bit: ~10000000000000000000000000000000000000000 (10^40)
256-bit: ~10^80
512-bit: ~10^160
1024-bit: ~10^320
By the time we get to 32768-bit (or what I like to call "super 16-bit") we are at 10^10240, which, if I typed it out, it would reach ~1/7 of the character limit (it would also be the first time anyone's ever been at a significant fraction of the 70000 character limit.)
Basically, what I'm saying is I found a new number.
This is why you have to keep me away from numbers.

This is Off Topic Chat, so the thread could be about anything not specifically related to the game.
In this case, NTG was sharing some observations he has made regarding numbers and digital storage.
"What was the point of this thread"? If you think of this forum as basically a bunch of people hanging out after work or school or whatever, the conversations for naturally. "Hey, I saw a fox on the way to work." "Oh, dude, I had tuna for lunch." etc.

Yeah this is the “pointless threads” section, the only section more pointless is Bored Games.
