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?

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.

    This looks amazing..I was literally thinking of the robotech books today because I heard some music that sounded like the background jazz and was thinking how Jack McKinney bio mentioned he played in fusion jazz bands! Also called it japanimation back then.. how cool!!

    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.
