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?

    Fair, but you can still post about it in the more general cars communities, no?

    Even Reddit didn’t start with all these specialized subs. It started without subs at all, actually. And then the big general subs were born, and only later the niche subs were born because the signal to noise ratio in the big ones got too bad. Post your content here in the general communities until the signal to noise ratio warrants a dedicated offshoot.

    This advice generalizes. There aren’t enough fans of each sports team here yet to have team specific communities, but there are enough fans of each sport to have general communities for that sport. Branch later.

      If I ask a specific question regarding my specific car in a general car community, I’m going to get generalized answers. That doesn’t do me any good. I need a specific community for my specific car, populated with people who actually own that specific vehicle.
