transistor

[radiant gyro]

yeah!! transistor was the first game i played that made me go "oh. you can do this with video games?" which was way back when so ive been sitting on the idea for quite a long time; i would love to have someone with a microphone playing the Boxer instead of just canned lines that trigger with a button press

sg games have so much cool stuff to make into props (I could probably make the Book from Pyre ezmoney)

[keen karma]

Tbh I'm kinda surprised that seemingly so many cosplayers have life-sized Transistors around, I love it

[agile root]

Pay Mr. Cunningham to follow you around. ezpz!

[alpine badge]

Didn't like Mike Tyson do something like that? Pay a guy to just follow him around and hype him up all the time?

[visual sky]

and mike tyson is a boxer… it’s all coming together

[rancid rose]

Yeah it def seems that way

Which sucks because as much as I enjoy Hades, Transistor is still in my top 5 games, and I would like to have more merch

Sword enamel pin would be fun to have

[pulsar lily]

you can find some on etsy, though that's not official giving-money-to-supergiant merch of course

[orchid trellis]

i dont actually!

everything else but no transistor

ive wanted to make a filled out book of pyre forever though

[rancid rose]

I too would also like a life-size transistor

[agile root]

Do Red cosplayers speak?

[sand ivy]

nah they just hum

[visual sky]

honestly if i had a life size transistor that could talk i would also program it to play my fave tracks from the OST

[pallid quest]

Maybe if supergiant gets bigger and if we convince them they’ll make a transistor remake or something. I just need more transistor content so bad 💔

[cedar grove]

i dont think it needs a remake :(

[zenith beacon]

please we've got enough remakes

and besides - i replayed it last week
and it still holds up really, really well

it's drop-dead gorgeous

you can thank Jen for that
good 2d art doesn't age

[cedar grove]

yeah i replayed it before hades 2 dropped, and then i replayed it again... and again

i just like the game can u tell

[zenith beacon]

yes

if there's anything transistor-related i'd like to see SGGs do is a...
patch

patch the mobile port to run at 60 (and display proper button prompts when on a controller)
maybe patch it to run at 16/10 displays without black bars?

and maybe fix the turn() mode to stop it from lying to you

or just slap in some extra challenges in the backrooms

i mean backdoors

the secret place, whateveritscalled

oh and patch royce to prevent him from softlocking the game

or at least make it an achivement

[visual sky]

if anything people would probably like a prequel set in cloudbank over a remake

[glad perch]

Completely different game, like... a point and click adventure, with dialogue, art by Jen Zee, new music?

Following the stories of some completely different character maybe. Have a young Boxer only as a cameo, or something. Have the debut concert of new artist Red as one beat of the story.

Could work 😊

[zenith beacon]

nah

honestly - lately i find the allure of a...
mystique of a place or agame or whatever to be more interesting than any sort of explanation we might get in form of a sequel or a spinoff or whatever

especially after watching furiosa lately

i think transistor is fine as it is now
and adding more to it might ruin a lot of fun that comes from speculating and what not

[glad perch]

Oh I agree about that, the story would only feature the characters and events of Transistor as small cameos, I wouldn't want a "proper" prequel

[zenith beacon]

not everything has to be expanded upon
not everything has to be wookiepedia'd to hell and back

[glad perch]

Agree 100%

[zenith beacon]

and im honestly getting really tired of everything being just a part of a big series

[agile root]

But how will I learn about all the intricacies of every lightsaber form!

[zenith beacon]

it's like - it's hard to even watch a summer blockbuster without it being "a chapter one" of something

i like transistor the way it is now
one and done
a short 6 hours ride with a beginning, middle and end

it does what it wants to do
says what it wants to say
then politely bows down and walks off the stage

and this sort of approach is getting more and more rare and precious every year
and i think we should cherish that

[agile root]

Transistor: the live-service game

[zenith beacon]

[visual sky]

speaking of which, just watched "I Saw the TV Glow" and it's a gut punch of a standalone movie especially if you're the target audience. highly recommend

but yeah i'm happy with transistor as it is now. a standalone transistor prequel was just something i saw people want when supergiant's first sequel got announced

and if you take your sweet time the way i did, you can get a 12 hour experience out of your first run through

[pallid quest]

No yeah I agree! I just want more from the world and remakes usually add more ig? Based on combat and graphics though I don’t think it needs a remake though

Bc idk if spoilers are allowed but basically a sequel wouldn’t be possible yk

[pallid quest]

Yeah your right,a prequel would be better

[rancid rose]

I think it might lose the charm that Transistor is supposed to have if there's more titles added to it

Regardless if it's a sequel or prequel

It's supposed to be a thinkpiece

While I would like to see the people of Cloud Bank living their everyday life ordering pizza or seeing folks vote over what kind of weather they should have that day, it's best to be left up to the imagination

[crimson mango]

i would take a sequel about the cat tbh

[rancid rose]

Now THAT I would play

Cats are my weakness

[hushed yoke]

I want a sequel where the sword carries red around

[flint vigil]

I think Transistor is perfect as is, but I think a Junction Jan's themed cooking game would be entertaining.

[fringe void]

I've been thinking abt playing transistor now after H1 and 2, how similar is it to them? is it more linear?

[agile root]

Very linear

The combat is also quite different. Very deliberate in real time, and can pause time while you queue up moves to execute automatically in quick succession

[fringe void]

That sounds interesting

Maybe i'll try it next time it's on sale...

[agile root]

It's good I got to you before AD did. She would've kidnapped you and tied you to a chair in front of a computer with Transistor loaded up

[glad perch]

It's interesting to see so many little seeds of Hades in Transistor, IMO.

Very different, but the Functions in 4 slots, and depending on which "powers" you have you shift tactics... And the Jaunt()/Dash.

It's very different, but there's a direct ancestry line visible if you've played both.

[rigid hull]

You can see the very first seeds in Bastion, as well! Transistor was the first Supergiant game I played (apparently six years ago, damn), and then I played Bastion, and it was fun seeing the evolution of those ideas. It's definitely progressed into Hades/Hades 2, and it's really cool to experience and witness. 😄

[visual sky]

will i like turn based games if i liked turn()? it was a nice change of pace to be able to strategize as opposed to dash striking everywhere

[agile root]

Maybe, but turn-based games such as Baldur's Gate 3 are worlds more complicated

[visual sky]

any experience with into the breach? a friend recommended it

[agile root]

No experience. I suppose your friend would know you and your preferences better than I

[visual sky]

well that makes sense since my understanding of baldur's gate 3 is it's pretty much a straight up ttrpg campaign

maybe it's time to get into the og turn-based game: chess

[cedar grove]

my transistor rebound game was child of light

[agile root]

I thought your Transistor rebound game was Transistor!

[cedar grove]

Ok ur right

But seriously child of light is so cute and I really enjoyed it

[agile root]

I did quite like the look of it from its advertising! I'd like to play it one day now that you've reminded me that it exists

[zenith beacon]

a guitar-hero knockoff where you get to play all of the OST
call it "Junction Jams"

[zenith beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/clockwork-orange-stanley-kubrick-cult-gif-5292170

kinda like this

[cedar grove]

😭 am i that scary

[agile root]

Awww, who's a scary mod? You are! You are!

https://tenor.com/view/pet-dog-adorable-cute-gif-14614095

[cedar grove]

i just like the game...

[old matrix]

Not me buying bastion for every one of my friends back when it was on the Xbox 360 indie game app

[small briar]

I'm most of the way through Worldless, it's an interesting turn-based game and I've overall really enjoyed it! It mixes action and planning in a cool way and the art is beautiful 🌌 It's a pretty vague story compared to Transistor though

[nocturne spear]

I need to open an epic account to buy their games TWICE. Any news on a potential follow up?

[west sinew]

the fact that royce's voice is so calming considering everything going on is just so funny to me idk lol

[visual sky]

royce's voice actor does an amazing job, kudos to sunkrish bala for pulling off that calm, charismatic villain voice

[zenith beacon]

so this channel gets highlighted every now and then but then when i click it i don't see any new messages

so either discord is acting up again...

...or there's adult content spammers going rampant again

[cedar grove]

u know it

[zenith beacon]

[sand ivy]

damn 😔

[pulsar lily]

I've been getting phantom notifications like that in most servers for the past week, it's annoying AF

[whole pivot]

So… I’m new to this old game and I have been playing on iOS the past two days. Fantastic game, but I got some confusions.
For limiter “responsibility”, the description says you will lose 6 or more MEM, does it scale up as you get more MEM upgrades?

[visual sky]

I don't think so

[whole pivot]

Does it change based on access point then…? B/c the first time I had this limiter activated I lost 12 MEM points

Not that I don’t like a challenge but losing 12 MEM is more annoying than more cells spawning I’d say and it’s only 4% exp boost

[small briar]

^ It does scale up so it's difficult at any level, I found that one the most punishing when I went for the all limiters achievement

[quiet arrow]

Transistor enjoyers, I have a relatively dumb question, but can anyone say with confidence what kind of cloth style the Transistor characters are inspired by?

[glad perch]

I definitely don't know enough about this, and would welcome someone with actual knowledge about the history of fashion, but... they are definitely inspired by Jazz Age fashion, just like the general architectural/design style is heavily inspired by Art Nouveau and Art Deco, with more "modern" quirks and flare.

Red wears a gown that would look perfect on a singing diva, Sybil has a nice wide-brimmed hat and a parasol, both Royce and Grant wear a three piece suit with a vest, Asher has sleeve "garters" (not sure how they're called), which was a common accessory for accountants and other office workers that needed to avoid staining their shirt sleeves on ink (or whatever they were working on).

Then again, Grant's jacket looks heavily inspired by the cut of some more traditional Japanese jackets (but with a western lapel), which wasn't (that I know) a thing back in the 20s and 30s.
And the Boxer's jacket strikes me as something between a vaguely military cut and a Japanese high-school uniform jacket maybe.

(aside: a ton, maybe all of male fashion derives in one way or another from military garments: anyone fascinated by this concept should check out William Gibson's Blue Ant trilogy, especially the third book "Zero History")

[flint vigil]

While I don’t think any of the characters are “historically accurate” to the 1920s, the women in particular don’t have the box silhouettes seen in the fashion of the time & everyone generally dresses more modern, but there’s definitely a lot of influence.

[agile root]

You're literally the most interesting person I've seen on the server 👀 I enjoyed a snippet of your blog! I'll be referring to it when Google rolls out Manifest V3 or whatever that nonsense is called

[glad perch]

LOL thanks, happy to hear it's useful for someone and... That "when" is like... Next week.

No better time than today to migrate to Firefox.

Unless it's yesterday

[agile root]

Hm. I do like the cute fox icon

[keen karma]

I love your insight!!!

Tho kinda funny that half of men‘s fashion inspo seems to be suits and the other half military

[fleet narwhal]

I thought Asher's outfit was supposed to give him that Preppy, high class look. Hence the scarf.

[glad perch]

that's the trick: all western men jackets come from military clothing

[worn leaf]

Are there official wallpapers of transistor?

[west sinew]

wallpaper engine has most of them made to be moving which is awesome

[visual sky]

migrating to firefox took me like 20 minutes 4 years ago and i haven't looked back.

[agile root]

It took me 30 min to get 90% set up, and 1 hour to get 99%. Still missing stuff like Chrome's History page and the way it works, Chrome's New Tab shortcuts, etc. etc. Mobile Firefox is way less performant

Otherwise pretty good though!

[visual sky]

tbh it took me a while to get used to the passwords page not showing up from the search bar
i think chrome has had a bunch of features added since i stopped using it that i might find interesting, but i have the reverse problem now where i don't feel like downloading chrome to find out

[round gazelle]

man

if I ever get married

I'm gonna have Paper Boats played at my wedding

[visual sky]

word

my partner and i are both in astronomy-adjacent fields, so the line with the moon simile just hits extra hard every time

[west sinew]

gonna miss this game sm :( just 100%ed it yesterday

[olive sluice]

you could always speedrun it

[agile root]

Just be like that one person (you know who you are) and replay it all the time just because

[olive sluice]

it is worth replaying over and over

[flint vigil]

Gameplay aside, it's great getting to absorb the atmosphere / music on replays.

[west sinew]

tbf idk if my ocd would let me speedrun it, i always gotta make sure ive gone over ever single area so i dont miss any interactions lol

however if i started ng+ for the second time at least my completed doors will still be there making it way faster lol

[vestal crown]

Ok I’m gonna pour my heart out on this, but Transistor is one of the best indie games ever made. The story, characters, writing, gameplay. It all just works!

I’m so glad I played this again recently, as it’s been 10 years since I beaten it the first time.

If not for this game and the other Supergiant games, Hades and Hades 2 wouldn’t be what it is right now. A lot of stuff that Hades has is borrowed from their previous games, and playing Transistor again has helped me appreciate all of their games even more than before.

It’s a one of a kind experience and I CANNOT stress that enough

[sand ivy]

SO REAL 🙏

[unique grotto]

hullo! I've been trying to launch this game bit it doesn't seem to want to cover the whole screen (it's only sort of hovering in the top left corner of my screen at 1/4 scale) - is there any resource to fix this?
EDIT: I've tried all sorts of compatibility scaling things and it's still stuck like that

[viral token]

HECK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[viral token]

I've been keeping count and I've played it at least 18-20 times, if memory of my count serves from the last time 😄 I got the collector's edition and have it on my ps4, too!!! 😍

[zenith beacon]

wow
that must've been two intense days of gaming lmao

[cedar grove]

you joke but ive played it twice in a row before

[zenith beacon]

same

[viral token]

Lol that was over the course of several years haha!!! 😄

I discovered it in 2015 in college and haven't looked back!!

[zenith beacon]

actually
the only three games that i finished like that back-to-back in a single day are HL2, mirror's edge and transistor

[viral token]

I played my 20th 2 years ago, I think!

[viral token]

wow!!!!

[cedar grove]

yay i also got into it in 2015, on the anniversary of the game coming out

[viral token]

woo hoo!!!!

[cedar grove]

and yeah its my favorite game ever, love it so much and it means a lot to me. <3

so i get you

[viral token]

my brother introduced me to gaming in college! I'm so glad I'm a gamer now!

SAME it's my undisputed favorite game of all time!!!!! Even though I feel different about the ending...cuz I lost my brother that way. But it took me a while to realize he wouldn't want me to stop loving what I love. [and of course the studio wouldn't condone you-know-what, but I wish the game had a trigger warning at the beginning.]

I'm so glad people love the game sooo much after all this time ❤️

[agile root]

Hello. I'm assuming the game's launching in windowed mode. Do Alt+Enter or Alt+Space then M then [arrow keys] do anything to your window?
One pint of your house brew, please

[spare maple]

By compatibility scaling do you mean windows dpi or video card scaling? Might check dpi is at 100% and your video card is set to scale fullscreen properly in whatever vendor drivers you have. Or you can try adding “/windowed /noborder” as launch options

[olive sluice]

i uhm have 17 completed runs (probably a bunch more i reset right after royce )

nearing 430h

[unique grotto]

it's not

[unique grotto]

yah DPI - I'll have a go at these

[viral token]

You...RESET after meeting Royce? Is that right?! Why?? His portion of the game is so narratively chilling!!! 😨

[olive sluice]

After beating royce - while the ending is very touching every time, it takes a few mins and is 100% consistent - i know if the run will pb or not when running at that point x3

not on my first casual playthrough ^^'

[unique grotto]

and i gasped so loud when i heard asher's voice - liek what's my boy than doing here

and then boom

WOOOO YES!!! the soundtrack is utterly brilliant! And I love the lore/world!!! I love how so much of it is left up to your own interpretation, too! It has so much ATMOSPHERE 😍😍😍😍

The Red poster is too beautiful to not paint anyway.

I hope painting it goes well!

its either that one or some of the other cutscene art from the game

thank you!

[flint vigil]

If you do end up doing it.

[orchid trellis]

ill try a few things with the projector and see!

my other options are the cloudbank one or the intro cutscene art

[vestal crown]

It was a long PROCESS but I finally got 100% achievements for this game 🤩

[flint vigil]

[white solar]

I think you probably hold the record for most hours in the game

[visual sky]

what i would do for a poster of this to be back in stock

[full peak]

Hello

I'm thinking of buying the transistor. What is the subject of the game?

[keen karma]

A singer and her bf who’s now a sword try to stop their city from vanishing 👍

[zenith beacon]

what

ok - now i gotta to see what word triggered the bot

cause i didn't use any swear words there and i know this bot can get a bit too excited sometimes

bossfight?

no - that's not it

ah - there it is

[zenith beacon]

It wasn’t even a bad word
That’s why I was so surprised

Well anyway - joke answer ain’t gonna work so…

[zenith beacon]

It’s a slightly janky action game mixed with great little strategy game about a singer who lost her voice and her bf who’s nothing but a voice set in one of the most gorgeous fictional cities ever made that’s in the process of returning to nothing

Also there are at least two enemy types with great butts
A secret achievement for bouncing a ball a 100 times
A skill that can crash your game
And a dög

10/10

Good music too

[full peak]

@zenith beacon thank you for saying

The game is a good thing, I'll buy it

[zenith beacon]

Oh yeah it’s totally worth it

On pc and consoles, that is

[full peak]

Okay, I will listen to you and get it as soon as possible.

@zenith beacon wat is your name?

[zenith beacon]

it's bim

[orchid trellis]

wait i didnt know ahout that achievement

hey ferb i know what we’re going to do today!

[zenith beacon]

[full peak]

I am satisfied too doruk

[full peak]

I bought the game, I looked at it for a while, let me tell you this, the game is nice, the music is different, the gameplay is nice, I compared it to Hades, but I noticed that it was slow while fighting, maybe it's because I'm a newbie, I don't know, when I say slow, it means the gameplay is slow, my score is 8/10.

Since I'm on a PC, the controls are difficult, but the features are pretty good.

[pulsar lily]

wait which skill crashes the game

[zenith beacon]

any skill, actually
as long as you hit enough enemies with it

but on my last run it actually crashed after using Crash()

[full peak]

which game ?

[zenith beacon]

transistor

i mean

[full peak]

Okay, actually, I also experience a small freeze after applying a skill, but it's not a big deal.

@zenith beacon What are the specs of your PC? Maybe it's a PC problem.

[keen karma]

seems like some kind of... skill issue........

[drifting cedar]

10 years

years

are you serious

[signal helm]

Should I buy Transistor?

[cedar grove]

Yeas

[signal helm]

Why should I?

[keen karma]

To exchange money for goods, in this case entertainment, interactive art or generally an electronic game

[solemn iron]

Its amazing - art, story, music, and gameplay are all superb

[signal helm]

Hmmmmm... how much is it? I can't check on steam right now

[cedar grove]

summer sale is in 11 days

so

it would be cheaper than it is now

[solemn iron]

I got it on sale for like 4 dollars or something, but is def worth it full price as well

[agile root]

Buy the game! Buy its soundtrack! Buy a vinyl of its soundtrack!

Get the protagonist painted on your wall!

[keen karma]

so true bestie!!

[signal helm]

I see...

[orchid trellis]

idk thats a weird idea

who would do such a thing

[sand ivy]

I can’t think of a person who would do that

[glass furnace]

ive never played this, whats it like?

[turbid dove]

from SGG website: Transistor is a sci-fi themed action RPG that invites you to wield an extraordinary weapon of unknown origin as you fight through a stunning futuristic city.

From me, it's a gorgeous game in every respect.

[exotic niche]

I’m thinking of starting it next week

Yeah I should do it

[flint vigil]

I highly recommend it!

I think I will!!!!

[quick zodiac]

Most likely it's just inspired by the black hole picture they took a couple years ago

[orchid trellis]

i think they mean the font and line design element

transistorbros....

are we back

the game is on for cheap i just scooped it up

[turbid dove]

enjoy

[signal helm]

Game acquired

[cedar grove]

ok asking here as well, does anyone at all remember the plague by camus being part of the inspiration for transistor or did i just make that up in my brain

[mint nebula]

that sounds familiar to me but now I’m not 100% sure if it was the plague or a different camus work

I think Greg put a list of transistor inspirations in the q and a channel at one point

[cedar grove]

yeah i was googling like crazy. thank you so much

[crimson mango]

will we get that q&a channel back at some point btw?

what do you think could have been the inspiration from the plague for transistor? i see a similarity in the idea of a city cut off from the outside, with a catastrophe happening inside, and being about how people react to that.

or more generally, i could read a similarity about the outlook on humanity as a whole into it, i guess

[zenith beacon]

<@&456908176877551658>

After H2 and P2, but before B2 😆

Do you make other things like the boxer outfit?

[orchid trellis]

the boxer is something id thrift if i cosplayed him bc its just black slacks, the jacket and a white rolled up shirt

[bitter berry]

Okay good to know

Been interested in him or zag but have no idea what to expect or how to get good quality stuff

[sand ivy]

Have u made reds dress b4?

[orchid trellis]

i have yeah!

[agile root]

alma is showing remarkable restraint

[orchid trellis]

if you like firmly want to buy a cosplay and have a big budget id just commission a creator tbh. i dont really bother buying from those like cheap cosplay sites but its also a totally valid way to do it, i just prefer having handmade stuff for my own costumes

zag specifically is a lot of foam work which is a skill youd have to learn if you wanted to make him

[bitter berry]

thanks for the info i dont know how big of a budget i have but what would be reasonable if you have any estimations?

[agile root]

I'd start guessing at hundreds and hundreds

[orchid trellis]

no yea

thats why im more on the team of making things personally

thrift shops are a great place to start and look for bases and similar garments

[agile root]

Should cosplayers invest in 3D printers?

[sand ivy]

Depends how complicated something is tbh

or materials

[agile root]

Thanks, Karlach

[sand ivy]

Nice, I had a friend who wanted to cosplay red recently but she said she’s not really good at sewing. Any recs? (For how to make it or getting ahold of similar looking dresses)

[orchid trellis]

http://chrixdesign.blogspot.com/2015/12/red-from-transistor-dress.html?m=1

i basically followed this tutorial!

essentially base dress + big sleeves + scallop

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1180646961485992097/1259516160907411466/IMG_4176.png?ex=668bf755&is=668aa5d5&hm=0d5a298689204dde0735df1ab316aca6955b6ee9c9cd56f872e42a1d94bbdd84& heres my original one, if i did it again id change a lot but im going to keep the hand painted element

[fringe void]

just started the game last night and played for about an hour. so far i dig it, liking the turn system. to me it's not explaining much as it goes but it's not too hard to figure out. I can definitely feel the supergiant charm on it !

[solemn iron]

yeah its definitely a show not tell kind of game

its really fun to figure the story out!

[lilac sandal]

to me it's not explaining much...
That's completely intentional don't worry.

[olive sluice]

I really do like that aspect, the game does very little handholding and even when it does it's very gentle

It's really cool considering it's a pretty linear game

[waxen flicker]

I really hope we get a new Transistor with everything you all have learned from Hades/Hades 2. These are in my top 5 games of all time. ❤️

[autumn obsidian]

CW: Transistor ending, ||when you recurse for the first time||
||I JUST double-checked to make sure, and this has probably been discussed to hell and back and I NEVER noticed before on my previous playthroughs but?? When you recurse after your first playthrough, the first line the transistor speaks is NOT Mr nobodies voice, but??? And correct if I'm wrong is that royce?!? (Excuse me for being frazzled the ending just made me cry again)||

I'm in shambles

One might say.... Flabbergasted

Wanna point out that I did just replay the entire game after already replaying it again just to check this. This was merely an excuse to play it double hahaha

[small briar]

CW: new game+ ||I'd already read about that change before starting recursion, so I thought it wouldn't surprise me, but I actually jumped when I got it! It is Royce and the voice line and the visual effect with it are unsettling||

[autumn obsidian]

||I just cannot get over it!!! I don't even know what that is even trying to imply, and I feel the urge to scoure the entire game over and over for ANY additional content but I think that one voice line will be the only thing||

First time I encountered it I legitimately didn't believe my own ears. I though that maybe ||Mr nobody was just exhausted/having a rough start and I mistook it for to Royce. I tend to be a bit tone deaf about vocal differences so me hallucinating that could've been completely valid||

[flint vigil]

||IKR!! It's such a good touch. I don't completely know the narrative implications of it, but I love how Royce then Brackets the game as the first line & last boss. ||

[sand ivy]

Is royces VA logan?

[flint vigil]

Sunkrish Bala!

[autumn obsidian]

||Royce Bracket.......................||

||I do suspect that it might be a nudge to the fact that Red is kind of????? Making game+??? The way he said the line felt like someone who is watching someone they consider at least an equal go down the path of... Something bad.||

Ie 'we're really in it now, aren't we?'

[fringe void]

mannn i gotta play more so i can get in on what you're all talking about

[agile root]

Hah, it just occurred to me that Transistor's item lore logs and somewhat high level storytelling may betray some influences from the heyday of Dark Souls 1

2011 ➡️ 2014

[autumn obsidian]

literally talked to a friend about that today

he's a total souls game nut and when I tried to explain the gameplay of transistor i said 'well actually the lore exposition is somewhat similar to how you describe souls game lore

[agile root]

Now that you've said that, I'm also realizing that outside of Turn() actions are quite deliberate, much like the earlier Souls games

[autumn obsidian]

Transistor Souls Like Confirmed?

also something horrifying i just realized but like

the whole (spoilers) ||killing influential artists to create an AI/digital automation that can satisfy your every desire|| is a little too close to todays climate what with AI and such

[agile root]

Dang it, Greg K!

[autumn obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/curse-you-dinkleberg-the-fairly-odd-parents-dad-mr-turner-angry-gif-15375777

[agile root]

Oh goodness that's really apt though

[autumn obsidian]

especially the whole 'process become literally all the same the point of nothingness'

ESPECIALLY since i get the very sick suspicion that ||spines consume other processes because of the immense size and just mishy mashy composition|| which is an odd parallel to how AI cannabalizes itself

Anyways, Transistor holds up thematically yaaay

[olive sluice]

Wdym by this?

[agile root]

I mean that actions are rather slow and that they have a lot of animation lock

[agile root]

Such that the player really has to deliberate about when and how to attack

[olive sluice]

ah

yes :3

it's what makes it an interesting speedrun for me btw, the fact that you have such animation lock on your fastest movement (jaunt) means you really have to be good with them to not lose time, especially at higher levels

[zenith beacon]

you know
this gave me idea

what if you could make a recursive function?

like - at the moment your function upgrades are limited to just...
2

[olive sluice]

i really hope that transistor 2 if it ever happens is as glitched as transistor 1

(mostly) very fun stuff

[zenith beacon]

but what if your function upgrades weren't limited by an arbitrary number but by your memory limit?

so instead of having 4 main functions with upgrades that take all your memory and do all sorts of stuff you could just...

slot jaunt
into jaunt
into another jaunt
int a yet another jaunt

and do that till it takes all your memory?

so during a fight you could dodge once
but then that dodge would take you from the empty set all the way to bracket tower

[olive sluice]

that's not what jaunt on jaunt does

[zenith beacon]

oh shush

let me dream, damn it

like - imagine

a crash() - stuns an enemy
crash(crash()) - crashes an enemy
crash(crash(crash))) - crashes the whole damn game
crash(crash(crash(crash)))) - bluescreens windows

by the time you hit your memory limit your whole house would be set on fire

[olive sluice]

there's multiple ways to crash the game that we know of

[zenith beacon]

oh yeah

[simple harness]

How does jaunt^2 actually work
I know the effect but idk if is just number too small or the effect is just bad

[zenith beacon]

hell even i got one by accident during my last run

[olive sluice]

transition scenes while dead, and randomly at royce

(second one hardlocks the save)

[zenith beacon]

oh yeah

that happened to me once

[olive sluice]

very small turn recovery on jaunt

[zenith beacon]

you know
10 years in i kinda want them to update transistor and NOT patch that in

instead - give the player a secret achivement for hard-locking royce

[olive sluice]

it happenned to me twice - first time was during practice for a marathon

[zenith beacon]

call it a runaway script or a memory leak or something

[olive sluice]

terrifying knowledge to acquire in that context

(i made a safety save in case that happenned during marathon run)

[simple harness]

Royce getting the last laugh and just locking the save

[zenith beacon]

"now who goes first?"

"how about... no one?"

[olive sluice]

royce is already getting way too many laughs in low%

he talks so much

[zenith beacon]

seriously - we need to get amir in here
he needs to see this

[simple harness]

How does low% work for this game

[olive sluice]

minimum xp

that requirement leads to wonky skips, including a particularly interesting noclip on lady platt

[simple harness]

Do just skip fights through glitches? Or are there more skippable fights that I don't remember

Yeah makes sense

[olive sluice]

some fights are skippable "glitchless" that are unintuitive (first fight in goldwalk for example - you just jaunt to specific spots to avoid fight triggers)

but yeah we def glitch the game pretty hard

[autumn obsidian]

Hades 2 rly made the delulu fire burn in my heart that transistor 2 is now 0.1% more likely to happen

[white solar]

https://tenor.com/view/sleepy-at-work-i-need-it-sponge-bob-gif-13747318

[autumn obsidian]

Oh god this remind me for something I realized lately

Aaaaa lemme get on my pc and grab some info

sooooo

Reds trace is 'intact'

and the ones of the likes of Lilian Platt etc are 'intergrated'

and then there are the undefeated antagonists who are 'recorded'

But Breach()/Mr Nobody is 'Non-recoverable'

[zenith beacon]

yes?

[autumn obsidian]

I like to assume that the trace is abalog to the sould of a person

maybe its even more than that honestly

it holds memories

[zenith beacon]

holy

slow down

im 4 beers deep and i have to google translate some of those words

[autumn obsidian]

ISUGDIZDASG IM SORRY

i can speak german if that helps </3

[zenith beacon]

waht's "abalog "?

[autumn obsidian]

..... a typoe i wanted to say 'analoge'

as in uhh parallel?

[zenith beacon]

aaaah

[autumn obsidian]

comparable

[zenith beacon]

okay, laright

yeah basically the trace is like...
it's being, someone's core
without their physical presence

it's basically someone's digital soul

[autumn obsidian]

when (spoilers for the first third of the game) ||sybill gets 'intergrated' into the transistor mr nobody extort info out of her about the location of the rest of the camerate,|| the trace is essentially a person outside of their physical body, like a ghost kept alive by the transistor

[zenith beacon]

ok so - here's the thing

the trace is like someone's consciousness
and the process is trying to bring it all back to zero - a blank slate

that's why sybil is so hard to understand - she's 98% processed

why other people are a bit easier to understand

[autumn obsidian]

honestly its way more malicious then that

[zenith beacon]

is it?

[autumn obsidian]

yknow how you put a prime of white colour on an empty canvas before you draw on it?

[zenith beacon]

the canvas itself is white too

[autumn obsidian]

Yes but it's uneven, and colour doesnt stcik well to it without the prime white

The process is clearly doing too much, but what it's doing is not 'wrong'. i think the process is just preparing everything for the transistor to come and change it all

[zenith beacon]

i don't think there's anything malicious about the process
it does what it's supposed to do

it follows orders

[autumn obsidian]

eh i'm not trying to say the process is malicious

[zenith beacon]

and since last orders got so mangled after blue jumped in and took the hit for red, the process went back to it's default

it got out of hands, that's it

[autumn obsidian]

it's just that what cloudbank is experience isn't 'death'

its a 'fate worse than death'

getting processed doesnt mean youz get murked in an alleyways, it means your entire soul gets used in the image of whoever is hold the transistor

[zenith beacon]

"cloudbank is an experience worse than death"

come on now

it's a borderline utopia

[autumn obsidian]

:)

[zenith beacon]

to which people fled to from what is the real world

you can even see the pods containing """real""" people who are living the simulation when you reach the final bossfight

THEY'VE GOT FREE PIZZA

HOW CAN THIS BE BAD!?

[primal hamlet]

The Country seems kinda idyllic, at least what we see of it

[zenith beacon]

dude hook me tf up to the matrix if that means i'm gonna get a free pizza

and beer

[autumn obsidian]

I think the country might just be the afterlife and ik thats a very basic reading of it, but like

'non recoverable' is lost data

[primal hamlet]

Red’s song, “We All Become” is weirder if The Country is “just” the afterlife

[zenith beacon]

how about this

[primal hamlet]

unless Becoming One is indeed a fate worse than death

[autumn obsidian]

also i typoed again, i meant Experiencing*

[zenith beacon]

the country is an euphemism to logging off

[autumn obsidian]

yeah, from life

[zenith beacon]

leaving this cool simulated world and going back to the crappy "real" life
or whatever is out there in transistor

[primal hamlet]

Transistor is so weird

[zenith beacon]

i mean - im kinda stretching it

but come on
what are we even arguing about here?

[autumn obsidian]

imagine you hade to share ur conciousness with every guy in town for some kind of ultra brutalist hivemind think

[zenith beacon]

or just log on to twitter

[autumn obsidian]

I am arguing that the voice of the transistor isn't our boyfriend but just a weird copy of our boyfriend and that we are literally being haunted by sword ghost

[zenith beacon]

nah - it's him

[autumn obsidian]

he ded since minute one and he doesn'T even know

[zenith beacon]

minus the simulated body

[autumn obsidian]

but thats the thing! when you get yeeted out of your simulated body, into the transistor, you become 'Integrated'

Breach is not integrated

[zenith beacon]

then how does he appear in the credits?

along with red
who gets integrated ?

see - NG+ is called a recursion for a reason

[autumn obsidian]

those that the process processes

[zenith beacon]

now we're arguing about personal readings of a very subjective story filled with vague lore

[autumn obsidian]

i genuinly belive NG+ is just red reliving the entire thing with her magic 'truning everything i want to into what i want it to be' because of the first voiceline when you start the game

[primal hamlet]

simulations within simulations

[zenith beacon]

oh my god im getting the mads

[zenith beacon]

no it's not red reliving something because whatever

it's a recursion

a recursive function

[autumn obsidian]

i know what a recursive function is

[zenith beacon]

yeah

[autumn obsidian]

but 'a simulation in a simulation' literally is recursive

[zenith beacon]

YEAH!

[primal hamlet]

if I had a nickel for every supergiant game that implied NG+ was an endless time loop I’d have two nickels

[zenith beacon]

every SGG game loops in one way or another
and this is how transistor does it

[autumn obsidian]

The game literally end in restarting the game, and the one with all the adminstrative power at the end is Red

[zenith beacon]

i'd have to and a half

which is weird but you can technically break the loop in bastion

[autumn obsidian]

So it is her who essentially calls the transitor() function

at the end of the game

reliving the entire exprience

[zenith beacon]

she's not reliving it

guys!

the ending sequence!

she gets integrated
goes inside the transistor

and look - there's people there
at least blue is

just the same way he was before events of the game

[primal hamlet]

is Pyre NG+ a loop? Thought the ||rite cycle was broken||

[zenith beacon]

transistor is a recursive simulation
and NG+ is another loop with new parameters - which are their experiences from NG

[zenith beacon]

yeah but it made me cry multiple times on liberation rites

also because i suck at that game

[primal hamlet]

aye, Pyre was a tearjerker

[zenith beacon]

and a ballbuster

why am i so bad at it

[primal hamlet]

Pyre NG+ is kinda crazy tbh

[zenith beacon]

it's the only thing stopping me from replaying it

[simple harness]

True nightwings fun

[zenith beacon]

man

we gotta get some tallented modders on transistor to mod in some super-duper hard difficulty

or at least more challenges

or at least a 16x10 resolution support

[simple harness]

New limiter
The spine's tail is in every encounter

[zenith beacon]

New Limiter

seriously though

who came up with the idea of a Haircut?

who are they?
where are they?
lemme talk to them

[simple harness]

Any enemy with the Mans buffs would be awful

[zenith beacon]

they need a god

i don't care which one - they just need A god

freakin' haircuts

[zenith beacon]

he's got buffs?

The haircuts are unaffected tho

[cedar grove]

They also combo them

[zenith beacon]

OH WELL THAT'S JUST SWELL I'D BE NICE TO KNOW THAT 10 YEARS AGO

[cedar grove]

If you have a speedy, stealthy and regen enemies they all benefit from this

Men specifically

[zenith beacon]

man i wish my haircut was as OP as theirs

[simple harness]

Let's give the speed buff to haircuts

[zenith beacon]

DO NOT

new end game limiter:
Haircuts can now move during your Turn()

get rekt

guys imagine the end-game butthurt if that was the case

[simple harness]

Give haircuts the turn() disrupting thing

[zenith beacon]

ok so yeah im not sleeping tonight

at all

thanks

you know what i like about transistor?

10 years in and we're still arguing about wtf even happened there

[olive sluice]

the fact this doesn't affect any/low% is extremely funny

okay i beat the game

what a ride wow

[turbid dove]

I'm glad it continues to get an audience. It holds up extremely well.

[agile root]

But of course it holds up well: it features 🍕 !

[sage sequoia]

actually may i ask how's your experience with backloggd? been thinking about moving to it for a while

[cedar grove]

what did you use before? And what specifically are you thinking of in terms on experience?
It’s the first time I logged my games like that on any site. And you have to do it manually but I found it fun to go through all of the games I played and sort them

[sage sequoia]

used myvideogamelist & howlongtobeat

I actually enjoy having to do it manually the most

i don't enjoy howlongtobeat much cause it feels like a forum?

feels too social i guess

[cedar grove]

i dont know how the other ones work but there are a lot of ways to sort it

[sage sequoia]

backloggd is giving off cozy profile you can link to someone whenever needed

[cedar grove]

you can display your top 5, and you dont have to log dates or rate games but i liked that too

yeah i agree!

you can also make lists

hold on ill move to #video-games

[fringe void]

also when i played throught it i was shocked when || grant and asher died out of nowhere|| just looking at the art i totally thought || grant was the big head of the camerata so it was a surprise when royce took over things|| but it was really cool

[autumn obsidian]

I mean he WAS

And ||their death is supposed to be a twist. If you're familiar with the game formula that transistor emulates you were absolutely supposed to expect a big boss fight, Asher being the mini boss, giving grant time to escape, so you have to hunt his ass down and then fight him too||

||Royce being the actual Endboss is such a cool fake out||

[fringe void]

exactlyyyy

[sand ivy]

Just wish we got to hear grant speak

[fringe void]

true

[flint vigil]

Same. 🥲

||I also love getting on my stepping stool about how the Kendrells parallel Redboxer. Not only does one die for the other in one shape or form, but it so happens that the more "influential" of the two never says a word. I just find it neat that the two share similarities -either way, it really helps break the Camerata down into human members rather than An Evil Secret Organization you'd find in some other game.||

[fringe void]

holy moly how does the game just get twice as good upon recursion

[lilac sandal]

Because the core gameplay loop is discovering how to make your kit of functions work the best it can. ||Once you recurse, you have everything, know how it works because you wanted to unlock story info, start to get duplicates, and can experiment more, and thus, enjoy the core of the gameplay more.||

||You also now know the full story and who the characters are, and seeing it happen, knowing the end result, makes it more impactful IMO.||

[fringe void]

amen ^^^

[lilac sandal]

I absolutely love this game

[fringe void]

i've got a few combinations i'm a fan of now

[lilac sandal]

Pretty sure my main kit for going full Limiters was:

• ||Void() + Crash() : To weaken for Cull()||
• ||Cull() + Tap()/Get() : To kill||
• ||Tap() + Jaunt() : To clean up shielded BadCells after Turn() and heal as needed||

Forget what else I had equipped usually but I remember these 3.

[fringe void]

ooh nice

|| Cull || is a favourite of mine

[bitter berry]

The 10th anniversary shirt just arrived!

[fringe void]

yooooooooooo

[red spear]

my shirt is coming tomorrow

[small briar]

It's cool seeing what different combos work for people! I didn't use Cull() at all for full limiters because it's such high mem especially with modifiers

I don't remember all my modifiers but I remember using the ||Bounce() passive, Jaunt()+Spark() for breaking shields on cells after turn, Spark()+Purge() for real-time fighting, Tap() as my big move/healing and then a low mem option, usually Crash() or Mask() for combos/safety||

[vestal crown]

For me when I play transistor I just roll dice when choosing my load()out and see what wacky builds I get from it 🤪

Keeps my experience fresh for me at least

[small briar]

It was fun getting creative with random builds in the performance tests, I was kind of sad when I did the last one. Maybe I'll actually try the dice rolling 🤔

[junior lagoon]

@ocean bison hello! What specifically is happening that you need help with?

[ocean bison]

Whenever i launch Transistor an error occurs always

From what i saw it is a common problem

[ocean bison]

Any help?

[junior lagoon]

Which error are you getting?

[keen karma]

Oh hey at least it held its own (and got the popular vote on art direction and soundtrack (but not narrative!!!)) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/333162407826554882/1264345518910214188/image.png?ex=669d8906&is=669c3786&hm=463490ee5a580afad5947b787f83d5838c9eb97dd4e063506aa0498fa7dd5e0b&

[cedar grove]

it got soundtrack and art direction tho

iirc

[ocean bison]

It was an error of missing files i was able to find and download thank you for your time

[cedar grove]

My transistor shirt is here!! Yayyy
Such a cute sticker in it too 🥹

Also got an outer wilds postcard I think, another reminder to play that game

[fringe void]

Hooooooly crap outer wilds

I was just thinking about that game yesterday

What a masterpiece omg

[cedar grove]

i am always thinking about it. maybe i will pick it up for real soon!

[fringe void]

Please do

I don't wanna be that guy but you gotta do it blind

[cedar grove]

i am so so trying

so no spoilers pls 🙇

[keen karma]

isn't the outer wilds meme that basically everything is a spoiler

but yeah one of the best adventures i ever played

[fringe void]

Yeah lol

[junior lagoon]

Yeah. Speaking of, I recently picked up OW, excited to finally play it

[cedar grove]

thought this said overwatch my brain is beyond saving

[orchid trellis]

ive played like 10 minutes of it

[remote pewter]

I finally finished the game, It was amazing

I'd like to eventually get all the achievements (which I always say but never do)

[agile root]

Is very doable in Transistor

[cedar grove]

[sage sequoia]

u didn't like outer wilds?:((

[orchid trellis]

did i say that

i said ive not played enough lmao

[sage sequoia]

it just pains me that so many people drop it in the first 30 minutes

[olive sluice]

i did so my first time bc i could not wrap my brain around the model ship

second time binged the entire game & dlc

[keen karma]

I paused playing after not figuring out how to get into the BH forge and didn't think I could ever get back into the game but it worked surprisingly well

[sage sequoia]

thanks to the ship log it's actually surprisingly easy to get back into it

[glacial dagger]

Twisted transistor

[full peak]

this is probably old news but I just stumbled upon this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florentine_Camerata#Sources

[fringe void]

Oh yo

That's sick

[glad perch]

"Camerata" is the common way fascists used to address each other during Mussolini's regime.

It literally means basically "barrack buddy" (as in, fellow military man) and since all fascists venerated the military, it made sense (kinda).

You could roughly translate it as "(fascist) comrade". The Nazi used an equivalent word (kamarade I think).

Amusingly, it's clearly a cognate word with "comrade" which is instead the stereotipical address for a communist (sidenote: Italy used a very different word among communists, probably on purpose to avoid being mistaken as fash: "compagno")

Paired with the 20s fashion designs, it would be a strange (but possible, and amusing) coincidence that the choice of "camerata" as the monicker of the guys who wanted to have absolute power over reality was unrelated to Italian Fascism.

[uneven bone]

I’ve been wanting to get into transistor again after dropping it a few years ago but I’ve been unable to start a new game. Do I need to delete the game save file?

[static axle]

You can switch profiles in options from what I remember

[uneven bone]

Thanks

[autumn dragon]

Does dying affect anything story or gameplay-wise? I had my first death in the Sybil fight, now I'm curious if that has any lasting effects or if its just a rather lenient retry system 🤔

[fringe void]

It's very lenient, no story effect as far as I know

[violet lake]

Gameplay wise, you lose a function for a number of fights if I recall correctly

So you have to change your build a bit

[sage sequoia]

tbh it's a shame that death is the only thing that forces you to change things up

there's like 3000 possible combinations but once you find something fun like jaunt+breach you're too comfortable to experiment with stuff again

[reef pawn]

Maybe that is a me issue, but whenever I play a game with crazy amount of build choice I'll find the first thing that works and cling onto it for my entire playthrough

[sage sequoia]

most people tend to do that

i just find it fun to mess with random stuff

but even for me there really wasn't enough incentive to do that in Transistor

you unlock additional database entries really quick

like 3 combat encounters with a function in 3 possible slots and that's it

[violet lake]

I can see that, I enjoyed having at least death to push me in that direction

[inland mirage]

if there's one issue I've had on my many replays through the years its that void(purge, tap) is so ridiculously powerful that I barely need to use anything else

[flint vigil]

The Kendrell combo is so good.

[cunning widget]

Beat Transistor for the first time in ages last night and still dwelling on it today. It’s a tough call, but that might be my favorite ending out of all of the games

[worn hamlet]

Is the 7th anniversary artwork available without the transistor logo on it?

It would make a spectacular desktop

[flint vigil]

Is that the Cloudbank postcard?

[glad perch]

funny, my current desktop is the Cloudbank view that pans during the game (or I think it's based on a screenshot)

[worn hamlet]

Referring to this image:
#announcements message

It is distinct from the postcard, and looks phenomenal

It's a good deal more detailed, as well

I think it's wholly new, but it could be something I've missed

[inland arch]

I find it kinda interesting that the whole point of Transistor is about centering Red’s autonomy, but then near every time you get the opportunity to make a decision as Red (the terminals) Mr. Nobody suggests something and most everyone elects to pick that

[visual sky]

i will say that tying the world building (the stories of people that got turned into functions) to using functions in different slots was what got me trying different combos the most. that manner of learning about the world works with transistor’s noted lack of telling you everything about cloudbank outright

[sage sequoia]

yeah, but you unlock everything too fast imo :((

i just wish there was more database entries for each function or something else that'd push/reward you for changing up your build

[sullen ibex]

i just played and finished the game, what incredible storytelling

and the gameplay was so sick like i loved the mixture of turn based and real time combat

[white solar]

Thank you

[signal pawn]

I know it's been months since this message, but on the off chance that you see this, fangamer restocked the concert poster in limited quantity!

[sand ivy]

I’m not seeing it? 😔

Is it gone alreadyv

?

[signal pawn]

Not sure why It's not showing up in search but I got it from setting an alert on the site months ago.
https://www.fangamer.com/products/transistor-empty-set-concert-poster

[sand ivy]

thank u

ordering asap

[signal pawn]

You're welcome! Glad I could help at least one person know about this.

[sand ivy]

now if only they would restock the other shirts and pyre 😔

[signal pawn]

Poor Pyre 😔

[flint vigil]

Is there a reason for why some of the posters have a triangle on Red's forehead & others don't?

At least, I don't remember the one in-game having one.

[solemn iron]

Thank you SO MUCH I just bought it

[cedar grove]

Probably a stylistic choice for this poster

It was made way after the game came out iirc

[turbid dove]

Just bought a poster

[orchid trellis]

i am in love

[flint vigil]

I'm going to need to find a place to put my poster before it arrives. 😅

[stable bronze]

Thanks 😊 that's nice of you to ping, managed to order one three minutes after it dropped

[wary bay]

Damn sold out already

[sand ivy]

Cloudbank back in stock

[cedar grove]

Aw man

I own that shirt bc I bought it like a decade ago LOL but not in my size anymore… maybe I should get on that…

[solemn iron]

I just bought it!

[keen karma]

Kinda funny how gaming merch shirts are still on the p slim side, though boxy is more on trend now. Wearing M in most merch while I’m actually an XS

[frigid pelican]

The restock for the poster happened overnight for me, so even though I got the notification I wasn't able to get it :/

I also emailed Fangamer and they said they don't have a restock planned because it is a "retired product" :/

I didn't have a lot of available money last time it was available for purchase (I'm from Europe and the shipping really raises the price for this) and I guess now it looks like I'll never be able to get it :/

[soft kite]

Don’t have image perms in this channel but I managed to get my hands on the poster, it’s absolutely gorgeous irl :)

[sand ivy]

got mine too its perfection

[solemn iron]

Same, currently flattening the corners and I’ll hang it up tomorrow

An in universe concert poster was such a genius idea

[bitter berry]

i still have mine from when they sold pyre Pyre Transistor and bastion posters for like $5

they are all beaten up though

[flint vigil]

My poster arrived!!

[visual sky]

i feel like that poster sold out as quickly as it restocked lol

[noble bough]

It's my birthday today and I just got this game gifted to me by my mother and father-in-law 🥹 this is a good birthday so far

[simple harness]

Have fun

[visual sky]

happy birthday!

[noble bough]

oh I will!!!

the soundtrack keeps getting recommended to me and I've had to keep skipping it because I wanna experience it in game first

[keen karma]

Good call!!!

[flint vigil]

Happy birthday!! I hope you enjoy the game! 🤍

[soft kite]

You have some great judgement because experiencing the soundtrack in the context of the game is something else

Also happy birthday, enjoy the game!

[misty creek]

I almost Have to listen to soundtracks separately because my brain tunes them out otherwise

like I went through the soundtrack after finishing the game and basically had no clue what played where except for the tracks with lyrics

plus the beach one because it's where I didn't have to focus on anything else

[visual sky]

yeah my brain is pretty weird with soundtracks too, it doesn't tune them out completely so listening to a soundtrack after finishing a game or movie is 50/50 recognition and confusion

[visual sky]

Sandbox shirt on fangamer is back in stock fyi

[noble bough]

oh my gosh the music is absolutely insane

[stiff finch]

I almost forgot to post this
I got the 100% back in aug 13th 🙂

[errant spade]

Transistor was really fun, I just wish it had been like.. three times as long.

Also the lore was cool, like the whole world was digital but characters had no clue.

[wicked swift]

I can understand that. It's pretty short, but damn if it isn't sweet. Everything feels compact, enemy variety & new enemy exposure on point, story pacing is tight.

[reef pawn]

Bastion and Transistor both were tiny. I'd reckon just starting out as an indie studio prevented SGG from making something longer with the quality they were putting out

[keen karma]

I want shorter games :)

I see you hurting, I do what I can 🎵

[flint vigil]

But I won't save you 🎶

[sage sequoia]

I won't save you 🎵

[misty creek]

congratulations to Transistor for getting onto the steam woke games blacklist, not for Sybil or the Kendrells, but for Bailey having an X gender

which I didn't even notice while playing the game

[keen karma]

Cisistor save me

[pulsar lily]

Wondered for a moment if it was something like "the gay characters are okay because they're villainous and dead, thus their gayness is ~appropriately punished~"
But it's more likely just that the kind of person who makes a "woke games blacklist" doesn't have the reading comprehension to notice Sybil and the Kendrells are gay in the first place

[agile root]

Huh. I didn't particularly notice much wokeness in Transistor

[pulsar lily]

Was "wokeness" even a common term/right-wing bugbear in 2014

[agile root]

I don't think so

[sage sequoia]

i did notice that, but putting it as the reason over sybil & kendrels is kinda absurd

like they're RIGHT HERE

[pulsar lily]

(Er, I mean I know it existed in AAVE, but wasn't in common usage outside of it yet)

[simple harness]

Same

[sage sequoia]

i have no idea who made the list but it's so silly at times

like i remember there was something about "transhumanism agenda" in their note for cyberpunk 2077

[flint vigil]

Agreed! That’s why I was initially so confused because ‘these people are picking these things up now??’

[agile root]

Hehe sounds like the opposite side of the coin from Disney's awkward, clumsy, and preachy wokeness

[keen karma]

tbh by now my first instinct is that it’s rage bait

[simple harness]

The list is hilarious for all the wrong reasons

[simple harness]

Cisbil and the hetedrells

[sage sequoia]

it does feel like it's rage bait

they call blahaj a "pro-trans symbol" in their ultrakill entry

a literal mascot plushie

[agile root]

A plushie?! Oh no!

I suppose if it's colored cotton candy colors + white. I guess

[keen karma]

i‘ve seen quite a few pro-trans memes with the blahaj but i‘m not a fan of advertising a product from a not-very-sustainable huge company for free

[soft kite]

that list is so funny

also I don't think I ever realized that Bailey had X as gender lol

[pulsar lily]

I've never actually seen the list
and googling it brings up more than one because of course it does, Gamer Bros(TM)

[misty creek]

My favorite one is Age of Empires having an "advisory" because female villagers can be sent to work in the mines

[open lynx]

hi

[small briar]

Just noticed a cool detail of the Process blocks: when Red is standing right next to them, the ones that are closest to her flash, but it's not random- it's synced with the background music I found it in the return trip through Goldwalk where the Process blocks are filling the streets

[noble bough]

Wow... I just finished the game

Freaking FANTASTIC birthday present

also I was just looking at the Wikipedia page and it says that it's revealed that at the end ||Red gets her voice back in the end credits but I never heard a line of dialogue after the end credits... did I miss something??||

anyway either way wow...

I genuinely quite loved the soundtrack

and the story

and well everything

[flint vigil]

||Once she appears in the Country, you can hear her say, "hey."||

[noble bough]

||GAH MY HEART||

[cedar grove]

yay i love transistor so much it makea me happy when people like it :) it was my friends birthday just yesterday and i bought him the game. hopefully he can stream it :DD

[noble bough]

||OH LOL I DID HEAR IT I JUST DIDN'T PROCESS THE SIGNIFICANCE||

seriously though I've made Red my homescreen

I'm committed now

this is such a fantastic game

also ||hearing Royce instead of Blue at the start of the recursion run??? wild||

your friend streams??? i lowkey wanna see him stream it then

Flatbread might be a bit more fitting.

[noble bough]

ugh I cannot get over the aesthetic of the game

also I love how they did the trope of ||"final boss has same abilities as you do"||

[flint vigil]

||Being on the receiving end of a turn is so nerve wracking, but it's so, so cool - you really can't beat "Who goes first? How about... me" either.||

[lilac sandal]

||It's so great, especially when you aren't really given a warning of what's about to happen. The whole game you've most likely been bursting enemies with Turn(), and backing away during recharge. Royce mostly removes that second part, you don't know his attack pattern as you can't dodge it unless you were prepared (which you weren't), so it becomes a damage race hoping that if he KOs you, it's not breaking your most valuable functions.||

[agile root]

f()

[lilac juniper]

||i’ll admit i wish you could steal his thunder on a recursion run, but it’s still a great moment, especially on your first playthrough||

[grand fiber]

OK I'm new to Transistor, but the opening few minutes are not grabbing me yet. Any advice?

[sand ivy]

Advice is stick with it cuz the music/lore/art is 🔥

Just takes a bit to process the things that happen

Also make sure u switch that loadout a lot

[noble bough]

Y e s

Agreed. And the combat system does get significantly more manageable once you get more comfortable with the game

Agh... I'm just wanting all of the artwork in higher than 1080p because they're just so chef's kiss... but I don't wanna use an upscaler

[glad perch]

Seconded

[worn cape]

https://youtu.be/CUtb7-VbXTc?feature=shared

lie down
try not to cry thinking about Sybil Reizez lore
cry alot

[cedar grove]

i think about this version with vocals a lot

[worn cape]

It's heartbreaking to me ||even after the fight you take her consequences due to her forcefully being part of the process and how you can hear sobbing inside the sword in disgust what she became and how she knows there's nothing she could truly do||

[worn cape]

Even more crushing but it just feels haunting even without them I feel

[lilac sandal]

||Replayed just to get there, holy hell that is depressing.||

[worn cape]

AM I WRONG TO JUSTIFY AND FEEL FOR THAT WOMEN

[lilac sandal]

It's by far my favourite SG game

[worn cape]

same and I know probably not intentionally but it's a game that left me wanting more to know about this world EVERYTHING about it more then just the journey itself

Course pre process

Which is still terrifying to think of

Not as terrifying as something like Halo wit the flood but I'm getting off topic

[tribal mesa]

After avoiding Transistor for a few years, I decided to play through it twice again this month.

Definitely was worth it, but the I can't stand the ending (it is a good ending).

[agile root]

Does it make you sob uncontrollably?

[tribal mesa]

Maybe.

First time around after a while, yeah. Second time around, a little more respect.

[agile root]

Ah, a more controlled cry 👍

[tribal mesa]

Indeed.

When I'm up for it, I'm probably gonna start looking at the lore in game and trying to piece together everything once I find the first backdoor again.

Not that I need to, but it's a lot calmer and I 100% the game.

[misty creek]

transistor's ending sort of messed me up in the sense that I didn't really feel anything throughout the credits and suddenly cried because I realized a normal person who had a less messed up mind should have felt something, but I just didn't

[agile root]

Whoa dere, slice of watermelon. It's a bittersweet, cathartic ending. No need to feel bad if you don't go all Grave of the Fireflies or Up on it

[misty creek]

suicide mention ||also even before I played this game, there's one mental image I always get of myself when I'm suicidal, which is me floating in the air, arced backwards, with a sword through my heart, ie the exact angle that Red makes the Transistor go through her||

[agile root]

Red all like ||https://tenor.com/view/hey-spider-man-tapping-hi-greet-gif-15053805||

[misty creek]

it felt like a ||heyy you've been wanting to do that to yourself didn't you? :)||

[agile root]

Hehe, yeah. I picture weird things too. I'm looking into getting myself a therapist, and I've enlisted the help of a friend to help me navigate the healthcare system in order to make that happen

Mighty useful people, therapists. You should get yourself one

[misty creek]

I tried therapy exactly once

and ||after telling the therapist I never actually made any plans because I don't think it's fair to inconvenience other people to clean up my body, the last thing she said to me was to call the cops on myself if I ever had serious thoughts||

like thank you for showing you haven't paid attention to what I said

[agile root]

Eh, that's not ideal. I have heard sometimes you need to run through a few therapists before you find one who really works with/for you though

[misty creek]

I should get a comm of that image some day it's always cooler in my head

[agile root]

NGL that doesn't seem like a great idea, 🍉

[cedar grove]

hey, i understand the game deals in some heavy topics and it can trigger emotions that are just as heavy but please refrain from talking about these topic in this much detail (even behind a spoiler tag)
im sorry you have to feel this way and deal with these emotions on your own, everybody deserves good support. but this is not the right place to discuss it, considering there are so many people on this server - it could be triggering for them in turn, and people here are not trained mental health professionals who are able to help or deal with this information

and i also wanted to say that people have different levels of tolerance of fiction in terms of what makes them cry, or even makes them emotional at all. it doesnt make you messed up, no matter what

[raw totem]

E

What happened

[cedar grove]

I need to figure out where to put it and how to straighten the edges of it, but It’s time to finally put up the transistor poster I got… 9 years ago

its still very vibrant, the phone photo doesn't do it justice, and it's Very big

[olive sluice]

omg

[cedar grove]

i have so many sg posters and prints i never got to putting up...

plastering my apartment in jen zee's art

[cedar grove]

ok it is too big to put up with these hangers 😭 ill put up something else. in time...

[flint vigil]

It’s so pretty!

[nimble quest]

Is that on pretty thin stock, similar to a map that would come with a game?

I'm a poster collector, don't ask me how many I have, a lot of mine come rolled on decently thick paper stock. I go all out, I have 2, pieces of acid free foam board, one goes down on the table, then the poster, the the 2nd piece on top. I then use books or whatever to weigh down the areas needing flat. If I'm doing 2 or more posters at a time I lay acid free tissue paper between them.

It might seem overkill but I have many posters in triple digit values

[worn cape]

That's rad

[languid trail]

No, it's Red

in a few years transistor will be going to high school

ooh that would be a fun AU

[pulsar bone]

I think I was in middle school when I first played Transistor. Now I’m almost graduating college… I literally grew up playing Transistor (plus Bastion and Pyre).

[long rampart]

hello, I've just recently tried to play transistor for the first time, and my game cannot start. I bought it on steam, and already tried several forum fixes such as: reinstalling and checking the integrity, updating the drivers, running the .exe from folder as administrator, telling steam to SkipVideoCardTest=true, and none of them seem to be working. I've read on a reddit post somewhere that here on Supergiant discord I could get some personalized advice on the matter. Interestingly enough, I was able to run it while trying out the options, but after few minutes of gameplay, the game crashed while alt-tabing, and I wasn't able to run it since. has anyone experienced similar problems and can help me out?

[faint lava]

do you run the game in windowed or fullscreen

if you run fullscreen and alt tab that could be your reason for crashing

[ripe skiff]

every day i thank the transistor soundtrack for saving my life

[long rampart]

yes it was fullscreen i think, i will keep that in mind once i finally manage to run it again

[rapid talon]

meant to send this so long ago but

[still lily]

Here's a little transistor metal cover I made recently (also gave me a reason to replay the game to record footage for the video) Spoilers for final fight ||https://youtu.be/B1uhm7s8G0s|| Hope you enjoy!

[zenith beacon]

Ooohhhhh

Is it you playing or did you use samples?

[still lily]

I am the one playing

[zenith beacon]

Nice

[zenith beacon]

Are you involved with any bigger projects by any chance?
Any games or TCs?

[still lily]

Not currently, I’ll probably eventually make a small game of my own and do the soundtrack for that

[agile root]

I really enjoyed your cover!

[zenith beacon]

Well
Just so happens I’m looking for a musician for my little project

Or its sequel, to be precise

[still lily]

oh? im intrigued...

what's the project about? (if you don't want to fill the transistor chat with unrelated discussion, just dm me instead)

[zenith beacon]

It’s a doom TC
I.H.N.I episode 2
First one got a runner up in cacowards a few years back and now I’m working on a new one
It’s about halfway done but the only thing holding me back from progressing further is lack of music

I cant really use tracks from popular free sources cause I wrote some scripts that let me do dynamic music - with different layers and transitions and what not
So I need something custom made

I gotta bail now but I’ll dm you tomorrow if you wanna discuss it further

[still lily]

sounds awesome

[flat gulch]

[fluid fog]

Hello

What now, to provide feedbck

[misty creek]

for Transistor?

[bold hatch]

My sister has been playing transistor, and I wanted to know people's thoughts on it so I could decide whether or not I should play it, if that's OK!

Specifically abt the sword but like, gameplay and story too!

[olive sluice]

It's an excellent game imo. The worldbuilding and the gameplay are great, and the aesthetics and the music (god the music) are top notch

[woven grove]

It's a fairly short game but lots of fun.

[sand herald]

I played it in 2015/16, and I still remember the entirety of it despite the fact I haven't played it for 8/9 years. It hits HARD

[lilac sandal]

The best part about Transistor I find is that it respects the intelligence of the player a way no other game I've played has.

There is no dialogue or indicator to tell you how to play the game beyond the short tutorial and a "use this" here and there. You are given tools and information, and combat is a puzzle you have to solve with your own solution. It is satisfying and I remember every second of it.

And that's not even talking about how that loops into the story.

[pulsar lily]

Sword boyfriend best boyfriend.

[olive sluice]

(i will also do my thing and say it's pretty good as a speedgame if you're into that sort of stuff )

[rancid lodge]

I never thought about this. But I'd say more, they also respected player's intelligence in the story telling and world building.

Such a perfect experience, well rounded and then... Music. Oh my god the music

[lilac sandal]

I agree wholly, but did feel trying to explain the way I wanted could spoil a bit of the experience.

[jade silo]

I always felt Transistor would be the perfect game for a movie adaptation (animated or live action). It’s the perfect length, and the storytelling is already pretty close to a movie.

[lilac sandal]

I'd definitely want it animated over live action. Functions would not look right/not look as good as they could if they were in live action.

[flint vigil]

I agree!

Though it's interesting considering who'd be cast to play who.

[pulsar bone]

I would prefer a Transistor tv show more than a movie

[agile root]

Not a bad idea! The story follows a bunch of smaller arcs

[lilac juniper]

a prequel would be cool. would get to see cloudbank populated and in its prime

[woven grove]

If it were to happen I'd hope they wouldn't make it about the ingame story, yeah a prequel would be cool but I'd also not want it to devolve into a nostalga fest.

[agile root]

Imagine if Hollywood got their hands on adaptation rights. They'd probably replace Ashley

[inland arch]

.Ashley?

Ohh the singer

[misty creek]

@viral token moving this here because the whole concept of Transistor's ending triggers me in the same way as mentioned here. Doesn't mean I should phrase my reaction to the ending as if the devs have let me down.

Self-awareness isn't a pass to not think your words through before posting them in a public space.

Oh whoops, did I mess up? Oh I forgot to post it here, too. I don't know how to grey stuff out since I'm not used to discord. I'm sorry!!!! 😔 yeah, the ending of Transistor triggers me as well ever since The Tradgey happened and I struggled a long time before realizing my brother wouldn't want me to stop loving the games I love...I'll always be grateful to Transistor cuz it's how I discovered SG in the first place and they're my all-time favorite studio now. I love the game but now the ending hits super hard in a bad way...Anyway, sorry if I messed up by not greying out my metion of a dark subject. Thanks for listening so I could get these emotions off my chest, though. 🙂

btw don't worry about me potentially accusing you of hating SGG, I basically quit the hades subreddit and deleted all the posts I made (around 30) because I made one (1) mildly critical post of them and got dogpiled while the mods did nothing

Heh Reddit

someone was like "remember how the solo dev of stardew got harassed? Well you're doing the exact same thing!"

We need to make philosophy + debate mandatory in schools

Oh my gosh I'm sorry that happened to you, yikes!! And I wasn't worried about you accusing me, I'm simply grateful I could release my painful emotions that bubble up from time to time. I miss my brother. And I hope my post didn't come off as me coming across as thinking the devs let me down in any way! I know they didn't....Ugh, trauma is so messy, ya know? I have nothing but love for SG 🥰 /gen
Again, thanks for listening 😁

Oh hell no

God the movie adaptation of transistor would suck ass

Blue at the end “I guess I really was the transistor all along”
