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 building a decentralised file system.

It works, is FOSS and all.

I might just join you in that game, it looks cool.

I've been playing starbound again and feels like the game has been abandoned for the last 10 years, but steam db says there's still about ~800 players so that's not so bad.

Freestyle GunZ (fgunz.net) its an old game but it checks out.

BallisticNG maybe. Its like wipeout but very few players on steam, maybe 100 concurrent.

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

I know there are others out there, but I sometimes feel like I am the only person under 50 who loves opera. I have 2 streaming services that I mostly use for watching opera.

I honestly feel like many people would like opera if they gave it a chance. Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen is a cross between Lord of the Rings and The Avengers, but without the 30-min CGI fights (no disrespect to those who like fight scenes, but i get bored). My son and I love Mozart's The Magic Flute; my wife's favourite is Bizet's Carmen.

I don't know anyone else who likes horror films.

At a glance, Tlatoani: Aztec Cities looks like a Pharoah game type city builder. I'm into this, thanks for mentioning this game OP.

Currently I'm in a similarly small population of people who play Motorstorm 1 (Monument Valley), and Motorstorm Pacific Rift online.

They work with real PS3 consoles with just a DNS change or on RPCS3 emulator.

Motorstorm Arctic Edge on PSP or PPSSPP as well but it's played less often.

Apocalypse also kinda works but it's pretty broken in very annoying ways, and reverse engineering needs more work.

Motorstorm RC is also supported, but I don't play that one.

Can find the Motorstorm communities on Discord and they're mostly using PSRewired.

Here's an invite link for Motorstorm Online World: https://discord.gg/4sJPGDxhx

Not really.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 4 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Every few years I get a yearning to play through Daikatana.

The entire thing.

I’ve been doing this from before the community patch.

I dunno.
