@pixelfed Remember Duke Nukem Forever?

From Wikipedia: Duke Nukem Forever began development under 3D Realms and underwent a severely protracted development that lasted 14 years.

Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

@arstechnica will management pull the handle on their ejection seat?

@arstechnica Now they should mod GTA V with Tim Walz, Los Santos Speedway edition.

@arstechnica DISREGARD PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS AND MAIL ME A WELFARE CHECK

@nixCraft make sure your storage isn't silently correcting too many errors until it catastrophically fails...

@nixCraft

@arstechnica Maybe people will realize they can live without Disney.

@nixCraft It's the usual "we have the right to make money at anyone else's expense" and "you'll be sorry you missed out!" arguments.

@arstechnica

@eff Unfortunately, if you're picking someone to champion electronic civil liberties, it would be harder to pick a less sympathetic character to do so.

@arstechnica I knew I shouldn't have bought those cut-rate bulk hypodermic needles from Amazon. Along with the off-brand goat insulin.
