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 don't know anyone else who likes horror films.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have a more particular niche, where I like comedy-horror and grossout-horror; flicks that can effectively embrace the tropes of B movie horror.

Drag me to Hell is one that I enjoyed. The protagonist is pretty resilient in spite of the over-the-top effects of the curse.

Ironically; I really DON’T like depictions of misery. Somehow my favorite form of action follows the vein of Wile E Coyote getting squished by an anvil; everyone laughs and the appeal is more in the shock unexpectedness than the raw emotional pain that horror often reveals in.

I just watched Drag me to Hell for the first time in a decade with my wife and siblings in law a week ago. I forgot how funny and over the top it was. I ended up being the only one who finished it.

I got them to watch it by saying it was from the director who did the evil dead. I forgot to say the originals, not the remakes lol

Hi 👋

I'm 1hitsong. Now you know me.

What are your favorite horror movies?

Some of my favs are Nightmare on Elm Street, Trick r Treat, Shaun of the Dead, Evil Dead.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Hello, My favorites are Session 9, The Mothman Prophecies, Paranormal Activity, and White Noise. I'm more into psychological and supernatural horror. Session 9 is a masterpiece if you haven't seen it. I would highly recommended it.

Dude, I just want the internet group of people who like horror films to somehow materialize in my life. Like, I want to throw popcorn at bad ones while giggling and clutch the arm of my seat neighbor during the good ones.

...like, I know they're out there. Hollywood companies don't repeatedly make horror films because of hollywood accounting every time.
