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 killing invasive plants. I think that's probably my most niche passion. Like when I have some free time I'll just go into the woods behind my house and cut down wisteria, ivy, Chinese holly.... I just find it extremely satisfying idk. I love the idea that I'm clearing out space for native plants (and in turn native animals) to grow.

Are you anywhere near Connecticut? I have a 50-60 foot tree in my yard that's been completely incased by a kudzu vine.

As a native plant lover and invasive plant hater, I support this and please don't stop.

at what point do the invasive species exist for so long that they become an integral part of the ecosystem and can be considered native

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

invasive species = non-native. But, non-native doesn't always mean it's an invasive species.

Invasive Species: Any species that has been introduced to an environment where it is not native, and that has since become a nuisance through rapid spread and increase in numbers, often to the detriment of native species.

I don't think having a non-native title is necessarily bad, just that it didn't originate/evolve in that area.
