There's an Aztec city building game called Tlatoani. It's in early access, but has enough meat on the bone that it's one of my goto games.

Out of curiosity I checked Steam DB for active player numbers. I have discovered at any given point I am 10% to 25% of the given player base BY MYSELF. I am 1 of 4 people playing this game right now in the world. With the prevalence of the internet I always assume whatever weird bullshit you're into there's at least a thousand people talking about it; making memes outsiders could never comprehend. It's actually novel to fly under the radar for once.

What do you do that doesn't have a community associated with it?

I have a lot of obscure interests, but not as obscure as yours.

  • Finding former Pizza Huts in North America. It's just such an iconic building design. There's a documentary out now on them, but I've been fascinated for almost a decade now.

  • Meshtastic

  • John le Carré novels. He was huge decades ago, but basically nobody knows the name now besides Boomers and genre fans.

Meshtastic

If someone could find an extra 8 hours a week, I would so make this one of my hobbies.

The amount of Pizza Hut buildings I've seen turned into Lions Den adult stores is too damn high. In second place, is the local wing place Jerk N Go.

In my area every single one is a Mexican restaurant and I'm not mad about it.

Jerk 'n Go sounds like the adult store. Just sayin'.
