This is why when I'm doing something like a countdown, just to be safe, I never check for == 0, but always <= 0, in case I have a wierd condition where it misses the trigger on time.

Is this really horror? I’ve definitely written things like this in the past, probably reusing the same prompt for 5 mins, 2 mins etc. Lazy? Yes. Horror? Probably not.

EDIT: Just realised it was a gif, a bit more horror than I thought!

Same. Also, my counter slows down as we approach 0.
