Is there anything you're into that no one or basically nobody is into?

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.
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.

Yeah, I called it Japanimation, too.

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'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!

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.

wrote last edited by [email protected]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.
This is pretty sweet

Oh you're that old. I'm that old.
Ever watched Votoms ?

That's pretty neat! Can you describe the restoration process more?

One year on Spotify I was in the top I think 1% of lou reed listeners.

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

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.

I am the only person I know IRL who reccomends browsers to people in-person
Ok, I'll bite. Which one's your favorite?

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".
Now that's a proper special interest 🤌

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)
Minivans are basically spaceships now, and everyone sleeps on them.
I love me a good Odyssey.

When it looked like dodge was going to be sold I was so hoping it would be picked up by a better company to make a more reliable caravan. the flip and fold are amazing and they did it with the roof rack to.

That's just porn with extra steps!

I don't know if I've heard one or both. Wife's real love is for Ghost, but that's hardly a "nobody else is into this" kind of band. I've definitely seen one of these in the Recommended For You feed

I tried to find an in-person calligraphy meetup around my area and mind you, I live in one of the bigger metro areas in the country. Couldn't find squat. Don't know if my Google Fu was weak or I just don't know what to actually look up but there's nothing specifically for calligraphy as far as I can tell. Also, I don't count online spaces.
