This is really interesting, and good to know. I don’t have much to add, but I want to thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

And I don’t want to make any promises about older games I can’t play, as 1990s game creation systems like ZZT will probably forever be a foreign land to me, but I love your writing and would consider it an honor to check out your work if you’re comfortable sharing it. No pressure, of course. Just saying.
