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 have a more particular niche, where I like comedy-horror and grossout-horror; flicks that can effectively embrace the tropes of B movie horror.
Drag me to Hell is one that I enjoyed. The protagonist is pretty resilient in spite of the over-the-top effects of the curse.
Ironically; I really DON’T like depictions of misery. Somehow my favorite form of action follows the vein of Wile E Coyote getting squished by an anvil; everyone laughs and the appeal is more in the shock unexpectedness than the raw emotional pain that horror often reveals in.
I just watched Drag me to Hell for the first time in a decade with my wife and siblings in law a week ago. I forgot how funny and over the top it was. I ended up being the only one who finished it.
I got them to watch it by saying it was from the director who did the evil dead. I forgot to say the originals, not the remakes lol
