Sure, but what if there's a fire!? My favorite game is Ocarina of Time. I don't want to risk losing it, so I memorized the binary digits that comprise the code. Can't be too careful!

Hope you keep your brain safe. Even then illness can easily rob you of those memories.

Fully agree. This is why I've made multiple children. Then I train them on the binary digits the way other parents teach shapes, numbers, and the ABCs. Can't be too careful, it's best to have multiple backups
