    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?

    Thermodynamics, specifically refrigeration cycles.

    Its probably my autism showing but the fact that we can just move funny fluid around and make heat move is absolutely fascinating. I can spend a lot of time making theoretical refrigeration cycles with different fluids, thermoelectrics, heat capacities, repurposing car junkyard AC systems, etc.

    Millions of people do it for work, sure. I doubt any of them are "into it".

      There’s a lot of Robotech/Macross stuff out there, but I rarely see anyone post online about it, and I’ve never met anyone in person who even knows what it is.

      I guess it doesn't exactly come up randomly in conversation.

      But I intend to be the change I want to see in the world.

        I usually mention it fairly soon after spending any amount of time with anyone. I’ve even got a nice big RDF roundel pin on my shoulder bag.

            My producer, Neigsendoig, and I happened to be into Happy Hardcore (as Neigsendoig produced some himself). We're still learning the mid-late 90's style, and implementing some modern mixing techniques to get it done right.

                  Never hear it spoken of, nor any online comments. We teens were hooked. A serious animated series about young adults?! We called it "japanimation", maybe we just made that up, never heard the word elsewhere, but we had never heard the word "anime".

                  Haven't revisited as I'm afraid I'd be deeply disappointed.

                      I'm addicted to buying crappy antique and vintage shotguns and restoring them. Have so many now I can hardly justify another. I know, I'm ruining the antique value by stripping the metal and wood, but they're ~$150 items, not exactly rare.

                      Look at this $119 ($160 by the time I get it home) piece of crap!

                      https://www.guns.com/used-guns/p/companhia-brasileira-de-cartuchos-151?i=571883

                      Never even heard of that brand, let alone the model. Bet I could make it dance and sing for a week's worth of evenings. It's a single-shot, can't be too fucked up. Probably.

                        I am the only person I know IRL that plays soulslikes and rougelikes. Even online, it seems like it's not a lot of people compared to other genres and series. Especially so on smaller places such as here.

                        There was a very short lived time when I was the top ranked player of Shootmania in the entire US, tho. Because I was the ONLY US player at the time lol

                          That's so cool! I'm not at all into guns, but I love seeing other people's expertise and the before and after of trashed to treasure, would be amazing to see.

                            My wife discovered "Powerwolf" recently. Not death metal, per say, but I've yet to meet anyone else whose heard of it. Worse still, this lead her down a rabbit hole to Dwarf Metal and the accursed song Diggy Diggy Hole which has bored its way into my brain.

                            Depending on what she's into, there's tons of fun power metal bands that I feel are kinda like Powerwolf. Gloryhammer and aramanthe are two that I really like that are in the same genre

                              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.

                              Oh nice! I only got into it a little more than a year ago, but I've seen highlight clips of him.

                              If you're interested, NHK has replays of current matches in a youtube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwq27hqSiIM&list=PLFEzXnIQVwV9JgQkOMJZM23G8g-wBBWKf

                                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

                                https://youtube.com/watch?v=G1UoyoFBb0o

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

                                      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?

                                        A vehicle building/combat game called From The Depths is my current obsession, well past 1000 hours in it.

                                          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.
