Is there anything you're into that no one or basically nobody is into? (lemmy.world)

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?

My favorite thing in the whole world is dropping LSD, and listening to obscure music or watching weird shit...

Dude I can't find ANYONE to hang out with me... I wave that flag in every social situation I find myself in. I really thought there would be more people into it.

Well, that or I'm completely unbearable to hang out with. If that's the case I just wish people would tell me.

    Oh, that’s just a risky proposition, that’s all!

    I would wager most people don’t know themselves well enough on psychedelics to trust watching weird shit with someone who is also on psychedelics.

    I mean that's a giant leap for any new friend. Lsd isnt so common that the average person has experience with it. So how to have a good trip and trip safely is a necessary starting point. It's also a multi hour to days long thing. Thats a heck of a lot of time for most People to spend not working, no family obligations, and no other needs/wants. Basically its a rare population who's willing to trip and of those willing it'd probably be a once a year thing at best. That said of people willing to trip I would think the music and videos would be about par.

    yeah taking psychedelics with someone else is like entering a relationship - you really gotta know the person and have good rapport built up, make sure all parties are prepared and on the same page, etc etc to guarantee you have a good time

    or you could just roll the bones and risk having a very unpleasant 4-12 hours

    I mean I'm not looking to cold open with drugs and strangers. Lol. I'd like proper friends with whom we've established mutual respect and trust for one another.

    THEN go get weird at the Renaissance Festival, or concert, or shitty movie.

    All anyone my age around here wants to do is drink shitty craft beers, hike, and watch football...

    i hear you. its a hard subject to even bring up since it can be hard to gauge how others feel about it, i'd be lying if i said i didn't also want to take psychedelics with friends. the only people i know who would even be a right fit don't want to due to past personal experiences.

    and hey, hiking is awesome! especially awesome with friends and/or drugs lol
