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?

    This is a great topic! I have more than one kinda odd hobby.

    I got a bunch of old newspaper comic strips of Mary Worth from 1947 and 1951 (almost two full years’ worth) that I’m putting into ~3”x12” poly bags so I can read them more easily. I need to put them into a book of some sort.

    I also got some color Sunday strips from 1951 but they’re a crazy size so I may need to put those in a separate book.

    I think they’re so cool though! The strips have ads on the back from the time period.

      I ended up flipping through a bunch of Punch magazines from the 20’s a bit ago, albeit just digitally. It was fascinating. You get a perspective that way that reading curated highlights and stories compiled afterwards just can’t give you.

      Edit: I guess you actually have to specify 1920’s now.
