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.
As a native plant lover and invasive plant hater, I support this and please don’t stop.
That’s a cool idea. I also like illegal urban gardeners, so long as they aren’t planting invasives of course.
Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t inspired me to give it go next spring:

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
invasive species = non-native. But, non-native doesn’t always mean it’s an invasive species.
I don’t think having a non-native title is necessarily bad, just that it didn’t originate/evolve in that area.

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