Honestly, I've been a bigger fan of the last couple
30 obviously for being a round number, and being able to be represented as a Lambda, which is how I represented it on the Diabeter that year
And 32 because it was a perfect square, which for a game designer/graphic artist, is a significant number, plus it could be represented on my cake as 2^5. I only get 1 more perfect square birthday in my life
I've not figured out how I'm gonna represent 33 yet, I've not done sufficient research

do you mean only one more birthday of 2 to some power? because 49, 64, 81 (plausible!), even 100 (possible!) are perfect squares.

Yeah, Powers of 2, thats the one
My art professor in college would call them perfect squares. He was a 3D modeler, not a math teacher
Textures scale and perform better when their resolutions are Powers of 2, which is why you see numbers like 16, 32, 64, 256 (in older games it was 255 because counting starts at 0, not 1 for processors)in a lot in games in general, they more efficiently use cache
I was gonna make pancakes today, but I forgot to take out bacon last night, so that and the cake are gonna have to wait until tomorrow, because tonight I am making turkey tenders
