filler text maybe graphics?

was watching some 8-bit guy, when he discussed 1-bit graphics.

he mentions how by converting decimal to binary and poking a machine with values you can get a sprite

looking over this the values and how they rise in the filler text looks very suspiciously like graphics data

dw appears to be a z80 thing dedicated to writing words i.e. two bytes.

so i put them through a decimal to binary converter, adding a 0 and 255 to any values that exceeded 256, and got something that may or may not be garbage:
