funny story - I showed a Broderbund sales rep how I'd hacked both "Prince of Persia" and POP2. He invited me to a trade show to "meet" @jmechner.bsky.social . And for 30 years I told the story of how I'd met Jordan Mechner.
I did meet someone at that trade show, just not him

I'm going to be pickiest about fish.
I'm sure there's some amazing combination of fish and cheese out there, but I ain't heard it yet.
This comes from someone who once ate cod with some weird cheddar sauce. I grew up in the 70's

This isn’t easy to talk about openly.
I felt the constant scorn of simply not being able to fit into any conversation. If the audience was more than 2 people, I locked up

My entire life I felt like a freak, a weirdo that few people wanted to talk to.
About a year ago, I started to feel comfortable enough about myself to express these opinions in a more positive and constructive way.

I wanted to apologize at this point if I’m doing this social media thing wrong. I’ve never cared enough to figure all of it out

I’m not doing this for pity. I love my life. I love that I understand the bigger picture stuff.
Most of all, I love that now I have the tangible ability to articulate all of this

It’s hard to explain, but the easiest way I can put it is inferior
I didn’t have the right pedigree, the right foundation, to understand certain things, let alone have an opinion on them, so who cares, right?
