The Imperium

Hello everyone!

My voice is finally returning to me and we'll celebrate that tomorrow with a full length Stellaris stream (if my voice survives it, anyway). I missed you all and I hope to see you there!

https://twitch.tv/imperorthefirst

Stream will be 19:00-23:00 CEST (Berlin) - come on by, let's hang out and celebrate Straturday!

Join us over at https://twitch.tv/imperorthefirst

This is our fifth stream playing as the Avian Menace and we've just finished our ascension to become cybernetically enhanced super birds. Nothing will stand in our way to dominate the galaxy with our beauty and supreme intellect!

Come join, have a chat and a good time ❤

Beginners with Stellaris are super welcome to ask questions, me and the community will try and give you all the answers you might want

Dungeon Keeper was my very first video game addiction. I stayed up late and got up early before school just to get in a few more hours with the game. It had so many mechanics all rolled into a delicious little strategy game that was so different than anything else at the time with weird little quirks and details that didn't have to be in there, but were.

Let me list all the stuff I remember being blown away by and that no game since has really properly captured anymore.

• The spell sounds and voice acting were amazing. IMPUS NETRUM - NYHAHAHAHA!
• It's a strategy game but also a full on 3D shooter, if you use the Symbiosis spell. Not just that, but creatures have their individual view points, skills and abilities. Need to exhaust a gas trap? Run over it 50 times with a big red devil thing (I played in German as a kid, don't remember the names of everything). Want to scout around? Become a fly and literally fly around with hex-cell vision!
• There was little debris falling from the dungeon ceilings, making splashing sounds in water.
• Creatures hat pointless details like their blood group, just because.
• You could find special items to transfer creatures from one level to the next (hello level 10 captured knight)
• Finding diamond veins was truly an accomplishment and changed the map
• Horny was a mad lad, needed his own dungeon and would slaughter your own creatures
• The animosity between certain creature types, requiring separate dormitories or hard choices: Spiders vs. Bugs and Flies, Skeletons vs. Fat horned red demons, Skeletons vs. Vampires and more
• The torture animations
• The humor on the map choices
• The voiced insults you could throw around
• The race against time as your imps barely managed to get the walls reinforced when the dwarves come digging
• The intro
• The creatures all having various abilities like trolls working in the workshop, wizards and vampires researching in the library
• The temple allowing you to combine creatures into new/better creatures or to insult the gods
• Ghosts rising from dead heroes in the graveyard
• Being able to raise a little lizard thing into a dragon
• The various types of doors with the swirling magic door which just looked so cool
• The Indiana Jones stone ball trap that literally killed everything in it's path, not just hurt or injured, no, flat out kill ANYTHING including level 10 creatures your own included. NO MERCY
• The Iron Maidens, oh my
• The chicken farms
• The speed up spell
• Pressing CTRL+R to get slightly less pixelated graphics on the dungeon textures
• The fact that you could drop your creatures without them getting stunned from the fall and be active immediately to fight - This is likely my biggest gripe with almost all "spiritual successors" including Dungeon Keeper 2. Always hated that I need to sort of kind of anticipate enemy arrival times like Deutsche Bahn and fail to deliver my creatures on time like American Market Makers

Honestly, I can gush about this game so much and it has inspired a life long love in me for Imps and Imp-inspired creatures. This is where my username and online presence today comes from and I love the little critters dearly.

What was your favorite part?

Dang, is it that time of year already? New Imperor Stream schedule dropped? And we're still playing Dave the Diver on Monday, Mad Max on Thursday and Stellaris on STARTurday?

Is this what a consistent relationship with a reliable parasocial partner feels like? God damn right it is! The Imperor is here to hang out with you and YOU are invited to come hang out with him! Or rather me. It is I, who is him.

Come along, lemmy.world, come and be part of a small, smart, attractive and extremely intelligent community over on:

Join over on https://twitch.tv/imperorthefirst as we push the boundaries of intelligence and beauty, playing as the Amazing Avian Menace!

Parardox is shutting down Paradox Tectonic, who were developing Paralives

So no Sims competitor from Paradox after all. That's a great shame.

Tinyglade is a secret weapon for dungeon masters!

The demo is currently out over on the #steam next fest. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2198150/Tiny_Glade/

I had my eye on this for a long time and the demo proves that my idea of using this for #ttrpg #battlemap creation will likely be very feasible. I do wonder if the creators are aware of that possible use case.

Here's two screenshots from the demo (might not show up on other instances, sorry)
