@juliancday @eniko there is a gamefaq — I think for Metroid — where the entire thing was hand-justified to exactly 80 columns throughout. Autism’s strongest soldier

@0xabad1dea Justifying text by hand is SO ANNOYING. Although the author may not have done it by hand. The command-line program `fmt` can do it for you. So can some text editors. Still, I generally don't hard-wrap or justify text. I expect readers' viewing/editing software to soft-wrap my text. @juliancday @eniko

@0xabad1dea When your statue will stand a thousand years, it may as well be straight.
