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?

... Half of the rhythm games I play I've either never run into anyone else or like 1-2 random kids playing them. I've legitimately never met another person playing CHRONO CIRCLE, and only 3-5 year olds playing DANCE aROUND. Could just be an issue with Round 1 exclusive games though... also new arcade games are typically not that popular outside of Japan

On unrelated note, a slight flex... Backpack Hero is an inventory management roguelike that has been in early access for a while & was regarded pretty highly. When the game first came out of early access, I remember 100%ing the game in like 2-3 days, and Steam achievements suggest that 0.0% others have had the end-game achievements. I still think about that sometimes... (They do have a community now I think)

I was intrigued by backpack hero, but couldn't justify adding it to my already large backlog.

Crypto, LLMs, and cars.

Yeah they're popular outside of Lemmy, but mentioning that your a fan of any of those things on here is a great way to get your inbox flooded with hate. Everybody on here hates those three things with a burning passion.

Only reason why I still have a reddit account is so that I can talk about these things without getting berated for my hobbies.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Its fine as hobbies if you dont force it on others really. I hate llms but I also hate pop and rap music, as long as im not forced to use it im fine.

Everything shoving llms in my face (that really dont work at all) is the equivalent of a car driving by blaring rap at 110 db. Instant anger.

Im into cars as well, I think lemmy is more hating that we are forced into having to use cars, and assholes who drive unneeded trucks. I dont think anyone on here cares about people who are mechanics or tinkerer. Its more the system that forced us to be reliant on cars.
