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?

The design and building of authorization policy systems. And crypto (as in cryptography as the word originally meant) but that one tends to be slightly more common.

Shoot, this has been on my brain a lot lately. I've been thinking about a modern one-time pad scheme that uses USB drives. Wanna send your friend 16GB of encrypted messages? Next time you hang out, give them a cheap USB drive. Or, possibly have your phones generate and share a one-time pad using NFC.

Unfortunately, I think phones and USB drives are too vulnerable, but it would be a fun little project to build.
