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 curate about 90 cartoons and almost as many indie animation channels to create a weekly block of Saturday morning cartoon programming for my wife and kid.
I edit it together in kdenlive from files on my media server, and we stream it to my mini projector each weekend. Been going over a year now, only missing weeks when we’re traveling. I would love to be able to share it with a wider audience, but I’m still not sure how, given it’s all pirated.
What are the indie channels?
Can I be lazy and not write it all out?
Not all of it is for my kid, not all of it is even very good, but it’s a good bit of variety.
Living every good dad’s dream
It’s the highlight of my week. It’s great to have culture in common with my kid and to get each others references. I also like to cook big breakfasts that day, lots of waffles, bellinis, fancy stuff, fresh fruits. Real bougie with it.
I just set them up as a playlist; editing them together is a great idea!
It lets me cut out any unnecessary credits or repetitive intros, and I have a little fun with commercial breaks sometimes. Once I put the Heinz automato robot video into the commercial break of a Mega Man cartoon. That got a big laugh.
How have I never seen that? Hahahaha
Yeah… My kid’s going to have such a bizarre sense of humour. I feel like I’m enriching comedic plutonium over here.
