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?

Guix, there are dozens of us! Dozens!

I have a fair amount of things that are not exactly popular but its not like zero people are into it.

[–] degen@midwest.social 6 points 4 hours ago

Pure math, finite automata, math rock, analog synthesis, knitting (in my demographic), video games from before we knew modern UI and game design... to be fair, none of these communities are non-existent, but they're pretty niche even among my weirdo friends.

I really like the souped up versions of mom cars that they make before there's a model year redesign.

My dream car is Mercedes R 63 AMG.

Also a big fan of Station Wagons, but that's not that rare among enthusiasts.

you know. That reminds me that I like minivans when essentially no one does. I mean actively like them and prefer them to other motor vehicles (although im not a big fan of motor vehicles)

When watching incest porn, I try to figure out how everybody can be in a step-relationship with everybody else there. How is it possible for step-mom, step-dad, step-bro and step-sis to all live in the same house with no one else?

Not really.

[–] greatwhitebuffalo41@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 hours ago

Probably not rare in general but rare where I'm from. Racing, asphalt circle track stuff. Like NASCAR but much smaller, cheaper, and local tracks.

Maybe ambient funk, a sub genre of São Paulo's funk bruxaria that is a sub genre of Brazilian funk.

Bet all the views on this song are mine putting it on repeat

There are like only 3 producers of this genre of music.

I play the gatcha game Monster Strike, which is pretty rare in the West.

It only has a Japanese version after they ended support for the English version like 10 years ago.

I'm building a decentralised file system.

It works, is FOSS and all.

A long forgotten game called Fear Equation. I still enjoy firing it up for a run at least once a month or so. I don't think anyone has even been on it's forums for a long time.

[–] tuckerm@feddit.online 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Sumo wrestling. OK, it definitely has more fans than "basically nobody," although it's not exactly popular in the west. I have noticed a couple of people talking about it on Mastodon, and there's a community at !sumo@lemmy.world.

A while ago I stumbled upon a TV broadcast one night when I couldn't sleep, and immediately found it interesting. Now I intentionally watch them live when I can, and otherwise catch replays the next day. A very exciting tournament just wrapped up a few days ago. The next one is in November.

I was lucky enough to be watching Sumo back in the days when Chiyonofuji was at his peak. Seeing him pick up and carry Konishiki out of the dohyō was something else.

Not seen any for years though.
