Missed Out

This is a list of the things in nerd culture that passed me by even though I identify as a weird nerd:

• Dungeons & Dragons

• Cthulhu and all of H.P. Lovecraft

• Reddit

• Slashdot

• Video games (until 2014 when I bought a PS4™)

  • Specifcially:

    • Zelda

• Mastodon

• FFFFOUND and MLKSHK

• Comic books

• Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, the blockchain

• Online forums

• HyperCard

• Indieweb, "owning my data"

• TiddlyWiki

• AI chatbots

I sometimes feel like I missed out on those things, but other times I feel like they weren't for me anyway.

Ways of thinking that have passed me by, that I've read about, but haven't actually done with anybody:

• • Design thinking

  • Agile software development

  • Appreciative enquiry
