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 really like the souped up versions of mom cars that they make before there's a model year redesign.

My dream car is Mercedes R 63 AMG.

Also a big fan of Station Wagons, but that's not that rare among enthusiasts.

I low-key want a Toyota Previa so I can tell people I drive a manual transmission, AWD, turbocharged, mid-engine car... and then show up in a minivan.

(Although all of those features were available in various combinations, no individual car came actually came from the factory with all four of them at once. Unfortunately, you'd have to swap either the engine or the drivetrain to make such a super-Previa.)

you know. That reminds me that I like minivans when essentially no one does. I mean actively like them and prefer them to other motor vehicles (although im not a big fan of motor vehicles)

I have a friend who has used minivans for 50 years. She started with them for her kids, and now uses them for everything you can imagine on a ranch. She's got trucks for some stuff, but a minivan can haul anything that won't kill you with its smell or stains.

oh yeah. my wife has all brothers and she did not want one because it was not tough enough. I challenged her that we test drive the truck she wanted and the minivan I wanted. She did not like the idea of both test driving and that was because once she sat in one of the same cost as the truck with all the comfort and perks she was sold. Later her dad had to move a fridge and the brothers suv could not hold it without the back having to be bungeed and her fathers truck could not hold it without the back down and it all tied up but the wussy minvan. Fit in completely with the hatch completely latched.

Yo a fellow minivan fan. I wish there were ev versions already. It should be one of the main vehicles for that where it's just running errands and kids but suvs have seemingly chomped that part of the market up.

Minivans are basically spaceships now, and everyone sleeps on them.

I love me a good Odyssey.

When it looked like dodge was going to be sold I was so hoping it would be picked up by a better company to make a more reliable caravan. the flip and fold are amazing and they did it with the roof rack to.
