Transistors are electronic components lmao, if you want swet trna you gotta state it's a game
aiodhasoidfjhasodijasdjasdjas AHHHHH
Im buying transistor for the 8th time LETS GOGOOOOO
Lmfao
finally an excuse to buy a switch 
"We're grateful to our long-time collaborators at BlitWorks and Confetti for their efforts bringing over Bastion and Transistor, respectively."
BlitWorks = ❣
They do fantastic indie ports.
Yeah, both teams have worked with us on Bastion and Transistor before. If you played Bastion on the PS4, we worked with them there. If you played Transistor on the AppStore or Pyre on PS4, we worked with Confetti there 😃
Lovely
Can you say if Transistor will support touch controls or have any touch input on Switch?
Transistor uses gamepad controls on the Switch. We felt like that was the best match for the Switch.
Thanks
this trailer is goosebumps = https://youtu.be/rg5QiEyhGj0
Transistor, the sci-fi action RPG where you battle through a stunning futuristic city using an extraordinary weapon, is available on Nintendo Switch starting...

Transistor is a great excuse to buy 2 Gree Joy-Cons btw
man I love transistor so much...
NEW SHIRT NEW SHIRT AAAAAAAAA
That shirt looks fantastic holy crap
YEAH......I NEED ONE AAAAAAA
Wish there was a higher-res image though
@ my paycheck ... get over here alreadie i need the shirt
I want it too!
Why would red be a terrible fighting game character?
All her attacks would only deal chip damage
I mean, she only brings an entire roster worth of characters with her

...What, what is that on TB's head?!
idk who the person is but it looks like the hair from kizuna ai?
It is not of this world
I’m so excited to be able to play Transistor on the switch
yeah it's the hair from kizuna ai
Sometimes I look something up and am just baffled

You mean transwitchor
With Geralt of Red
Is Transistor not compatible with OBS?
it should be I just used it yesterday
It’s definitely is. That’s how I recorded my let’s play
Never a bad time for pizza sliders, right @sew_angry and @volpinprops? https://t.co/T0qtFtNmnZ
this is the best transistor cosplay ive ever seen
and its red eating arbys
i love it
What the heck Arby's. This is ridiculously good.
That is surreal
everything i love is coming together
Yeah...
Hang it up on your wall!
I didn’t notice until now but in transistor if you keep pressing an attack to overkill an enemy it’ll say next to the damage/health numbers “(Do you even read)”
if you keep going it'll say "You are mean"
Haha that’s pretty good. I love the little messages
Oh my god
huh, i never noticed
im sorry but i just rlly love my lockscreen/background rn theyre so beautiful i cant stop staring @ my phone
the lockscreen art is by zetallis/stephanie kao btw
this is so cute asdhfasg
^^^ all by zetallis
Good stuff 😤😤 so good
Same! I bought two from Zetallis when she had a deal going for her charms, did a giveaway for the other
i actually won mine from a giveaway
squints
You've got roughly the same user
I used to run sybilofthecamerata
This was for the 2016 anniversary chat
oh myyyyy goooood
lmao what a coincidence
Fancy meeting you here!!
hell yeah
i still have the note and charm hanging on my wall
i dont really have anything to put it on though
I'm glad you liked the charm, and that it went to a good home!
I didn't either lol, I was too scared to lose it so it's somewhere in a drawer
i could hook it only my 3ds but the band for it would need to be longer so i could wrap it around properly
Yeah, it's a pretty sizeable charm
i know how to do it from wii controller straps
but i need to put the band over the charm for it and its much too big
I never finished the second half of that giveaway for the second person, which I feel bad about :x
I could go back to it I guess, but it's been 2 years rip
true
im pretty sure i still have some of the art done from the live draws from that chat
I don't remember much from that chat aside from asking if jewelry merch would be possible in the future
tbh me neither
Still would wear a Red ring to bits
tbh i'd want a replica of Boxer's jacket
Oh man I'd also wear that to bits
i kinda need a new jacket soon
I have a old attack on titan one that ive worn to hell and back and is pretty much a comfort item at this point
so honestly if they released any type of Supergiant jacket i'd wear it
Even better if they make it roughly the same length as how it looked on Red
Wouldn't say no to a shorter cropped version though, that would look pretty good too
honestly a camerata themed one would be cool too
Sybil umbrella!!!
Royce's jacket/coat converted into a hoodie of sorts would be soooo cool
i'd wear a hoodie like that
mainly white, red and black trim, Camerata logo on the chest
SG pls 🙏
id buy Triumverate hoodies too tbh
but when is Supergiant gonna release giant foam Transistors
like those foam minecraft swords
i want a plushie of Sandra's orb
Lmao
i wanna know the real questions
like what the name of Asher's cat is
but seriously its good to see you again
its been forever since the giveaway
Yeah, def a pleasant surprise!!
I couldn't keep up the blog much longer after the chat because of school, but it's really nice seeing that there's an active community on Discord
yeah, i really only ever use tumblr to look for art
I don't really see much transistor art, but that's because I don't track the tag or the blogs
I do still occasionally draw syb though
What an eternal muse
sybil is still great
Speaking of transistor art, anyone remember function junction? Where this one artist would rp as every function character and draw a picture for each one
Q and a format
Yeah, askmeinthecountry
I really liked their art style
On a few occasions I think they had a choose-your-own-adventure sort of event with some of the characters that was super cool
When red said "I'm going to find the thing that's doing this and I'm going to break its heart"
I felt that
Goddess that was such a good line
Gives me the thrills again
Hands down the best post from askmeinthrcountry

Click through for art
Can you remind me: what IS The Country?
Has it been answered here?
The Country is probably a euphemism for the afterlife
we just dont know! lots of theories are out there
but its def som sort of post-death situation
It's better than most, if not 90% of country music
So in paper boats there's a line where Red sings "You can run but you cant hide"
Is it just me
Or is that stalker-ish
It may be a harsh, sad truth
If they are in a cloud and keep recurring into Transistor shells, is there any running?
Oh thank you so much
Ive been really wanting proof that I've been reading that line wrong lol
The lyrics change near the end as well, from "You can run but can't hide" to "WE can run but we can't hide"
yeah i noticed that but couldnt put 2 and 2 together lol
in the context of red and boxer's relationship i always read it as potentially being affectionate/playful as well
also yes, paper boats is 100% country music
Ngl, I always thought that it changed context with recursion mode
Like, it started out as a song about her and boxer but
After she goes through recursion a few times, it’s more at Royce
With all the lines about like, being on a course that can’t change (paper boats floating down a stream, magnets pulling from different poles, the moon pushing the tides, etc)
And with ‘you can’t run but you can’t hide’ being a threat
in that way, it kind of works for both, doesn't it?
Ngl, that’s what makes this game amazing tbh
Some folks find the open end thing frustrating but I’ve seen some theories that I haven’t considered come from folks
yeah
we're not getting away with this, are we
paper boats as red/royce is something i'm fine with 👀
like its namesake, paper boats has layers
i was thinking origami but actually let's run with this AU
when i look into the pantry, at where the onions should be... i see you, and i know you can hear me DONKEY
every night the transistor turns into a handsome ogre
when everything is a fantasy character, nothing is
speaking of animated movies it always makes me think of syndrome incredibles
same general theme, i guess
the pic link is broken :(((
dammit hang on
i can't leave you people alone for a gd second
jgjkgkhgjk
GOOD POST BOTH OF YOU!!!!!
Never a bad time for pizza sliders, right @sew_angry and @volpinprops? https://t.co/T0qtFtNmnZ

sybil: I NEED A HERO!!
red: iiiiiii wooooont saaave youuuuuuuuu
actually incredibles maps alright to transistor
they get machines to change the status quo by asssassinating various icons all around the city
but the machines go out of control
AAAAAAAAA
omg tru
what is happening
ascension
backreading this chat can be... interesting
and often worthwhile
everything is canon pass it on
I just love Red’s voice. So pretty. Could listen for hours.
Agreed
Totally!!
yeah!!
yeah!!
I'm conflicted cause it's a corperation using the language of 'youth' to engage with an audience but it's a multimillion dollar company trying to get people to buy food and just... GAH
Arby's ads are cute tho
Like, they put time qnd effort into their ads
I dont get the vibe that they half-*ss them
I will agree with that but something about it weirds me out
i think it's possible to enjoy the shoutout while still remaining critical of the modern corporate strategy of being the consumer's "friend"
Arby's needs to add seafood flatbread to the menu now.
i shouldn't say modern, it's just in new packaging
just make a full junction jan
Xel, your right on the money
irl junction jan's, fund it
Junction Jan's needs to be real
support independent business 👏
We need this. It has to happen
ykno how animes get those cafe events sometimes.........sgg themed cafe
Move all arbys into transistor and all junction jans to the real world
but consider
wait this isn't just trna
Arbys: Now with 100% more Process!
goes elsewhere
but im leaving iy bc its great
send arby's to the country
hey red... we’re not getting away with these screamin deals, are we
Plz don't move all arbys to transistor
its fine, the process will get it
Capitalism destroys Cloudbank
The process will eat around the arbys
When everything arbys, nothing arbys, you see? When everything arbys, nothing arbys.
The little Arby’s mitten mascot guy becomes just like an eldritch process horror
He’s got that fleshy inside like the spine
I'm gonna find who fed you that arbys, and I'm gonna break its heart
anyway, royce is the moon
LOVE the new Arby's ad! I really like all these little "shout-outs" they give to games, anime, geek culture, anime movies--a lot of them are really creatively done, and this one has got to be THE BEST one yet!!
https://labyrinthos.co/blogs/tarot-card-meanings-list/the-moon-meaning-major-arcana-tarot-card-meanings i'm sayin tho!
red i think is the star
...appropriately
I would also put red as the fool because the fool is just the person starting on their journey
Um
So i could do transistor but I think its the hardest of the 3
The Process would be the Tower, correct?
Yeah
What would the Transistor itself be?
Boxer or the transistor? Sorry, just trying to clarify
i almost feel as if the blank slate nature of the fool makes it more suited to boxer
The Transistor
I mean the fool can be multiple ppl. Especially since boxer embarks onnthe journey with red. I still say red lol
Uh the transistor...
Hol up
i actually strongly think the process aligns best with the wheel of fortune
it's a card that points toward forces greater than what we know
Hmm, yeah, I can see it being the Magician
About the process. But the thing about the process is that the actually wiping out of cloudback can be the tower while the process itself can be fortune
i deffo think the transistor would be good for death
which is not actually about death, but about transition
Yeah, death just means a new beginning, usually one for the better
The lovers is obv
Strength can just be red and the transistor/boxer
The reason why i say red and boxer as the lovers is because in the end the lovers means choice. Red chose, at the end of the game, to be with boxer. So they fit the lovers best
The spine could be the negative attribute of strength
Sybil as the devil
Could Cloudbank be considered for a card, as it is a major player in the story and one song?
max darzi for devil, for the dependencies that controlled him
Yeah, I don't have my laptop on so I forgot all the side characters
But max darvi sounds good
I would say red and boxer in the country can be the world
Imma go do pyre because I think thats the easiest lol
sybil for empress... mostly reversed
grant as emperor ofc
and poor asher... asher is justice
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You know, i have a transistor poster that i still havent hung up
I picked up one of those transistor flash drives and I still haven't used it
lol
I have the flash drive and the handle fell off because i use it so much
Oops sorry Royce I broke the transistor
Hang up the poster, what's stopping you??? They are so pretty!!!!
I havent gotten a frame for it yet rip
awwwww 😢 😢 😢 😢
THERE ARE TRANSISTOR FLASH DRIVES??
There were
They were taken off the shop
For being outdated in terms of data storage
So I guess mine is worth a lot more money now :P
Yay scarcity economics
V tempted to sell it so I can buy the one with more gb when they put it back
But that's a capitalisms
:(
Anyone else's phone just automatically capitalize "Red" now
Also transistor USBs sound like rlly cool merch. usually official merch is kinda boring, like just shirts and stuff, but it's cool to have the merch fit the theme too
now that I think about it... new computer means i gotta do a regular playthrough before i can go for the recursion-locked achievements
You could transfer saves I think
I could... but the Sybil fight wouldn't be half as tense and fun if I were at full firepower anyway c:
"When you see that OVC terminal, the reporter is being processed. When you approach it, the status turns to deceased right in front of your eyes."
Yyyyep
Huh. Never noticed that one...
I wish I hadn’t missed that
can we name 6/28/xx67 as Transistor Day, in memory of the day the reporter gets processed
yeah but we all gotta wait like 50ish years to celebrate
wh-wh-what is that quote from could I have missed something in the game????!!!! 😱 😱 
I missed the dates on my first playthrough
fun fact: the poll that Boxer mentions is a little outdated, I wanna say it's the Red vs. Facsimile one? It is, it's from April
If u mean the actual message I sent in quotes?? That's from TVTropes lol
the ""When you see that OVC terminal, the reporter is being processed".... quote
yeah, thats from tvtropes
but it happens in the game, i dont remember exactly what the area is called tho
if it helps, here is a gif of it
(it’s the second gif in the set so you need to click it probably)
rip
hfhjfjghjkj its amelia who was processed not op
rip
oh my GOOOSHHHH that's so sad!!!! I've played the game almost 20 times, I can't BELIEVE I never noticed it before!!
builds a giant white ball out of papier mache and crawls in process draws near Beep BOOP I am one of you
best cosplay
self defence cosplay 😮
Age of empires NDS Minamoto yoshitsune´s campaign theme, enjoy.
anyone think mr. korb should cite his sources? :P
Anyone know of a good piano transcription of Vanishing Point? Not having any luck finding any myself.
Hey fellas I just wanted to ask is there a physical version of Transistor yet cause I’d quite like to own that
currently there's only a physical v of bastion
I just went to a first meeting for a game dev club and the board all introduced themselves w/ their favorite game characters & one guy said "Red from Transistor"
THANK U
it's royce bracket hours 😤
royce o clock everyone!!!!!
listens to his dialogue dump for the 268356th time
268357th time: this is uhhhh its a secret hidden sort of personal message for xel xelthanian. hi. love royce
X e l a t h a n i a n
royce never played pyre so he doesnt know how to spell it
... I don't quite get this one...
failer corrected my spelling and i just rolled it into the fiction :'')
transistor characters ranked by amount of hours played in pyre
omg
AAAA HGDFHFHJF
the transistor character w the most hours in pyre is............................. Man
Man the Process?
No idea
hfkgkjgkj i always thought sneaky and shooty were like......... just how that man is feeling at the time
I don't get Xel Xelathanian.
its a play on xel's name + gol golathanian
Gol Golathanian was the Second f the scribes
Remind me who Xel is...
a mood ring but the moods are "sneaky" "shooty" and "stealthy"
a bae
I know everything Pyre, but my Transistor knowledge is lacking.
xel is one of our mods :'')
Oh.
im xel xelathanian
Affirmative.
Did I miss Bracket hours? 😱
just accidentally listened to vanishing point at 2x speed
makes your heart beat faster
The songs in Transistor... Are they from before or after the fight? @lusty garden
what means this
Which fight? There's plenty of those
@low cypress I approached all of the songs in Transistor as if Red had written them already before the events of the game take place.
Even Signals? Poor Red... it's a tough song to listen to, definitely reads like it came from an unhappy place
we only really hear one "happy" song throughout the game
yeah, but that's the darkest one by far
makes you wonder a little bit about her before the events of the game 🤔
oof
we really dont know much about her nor boxer
but i know that i love them both ;')
The fight I mentioned was the fight that broke out in the crowd once, @lusty garden, causing Red to stop for a while to make less provocative music. Are the songs we've heard the more provocative or less provocative songs? If both, which ones are from which period?
I am willing to wager In Circles is one of the last songs she wrote, shortly before the encounters with the Camerata. Paper Boats is likely also after her provocative period. We All Become is probably one of her earlier pieces we hear, and The Spine, Signals, and She Shines are probably in between.
personally i always considered signals to be the one that set off the fight in the crowd
take up the call and follow everybody / i won't become a number in the system
Same here
Yeah, so that's probably the last song in the early period.
Paper boats is probably after she fell in love with boxer
We all become is probably her second big song, with she shines as the first
We hear the spine when we look at a poster in game, so that suggests its her most recent one
It could also just be her most popular song
Possibly
But I'm leaning towards most recent, especially because of how early on you see the poster
Fair
And it sounds like the kind of song an artist would be made to write/sing after they start a fight
SGG kept things super vague anyway, so there's a lot of room for interpretation here
So I'm going:
She Shines
We All Become
In Circles
Paper Boats
Signals
The Spine
that does sound about right, since I imagine she wrote She Shines when she was more positive about cloudbank as a whole
@low cypress in my mind, all the songs in the game (plus Signals) were written after that occurrence, with She Shines written before.
Cool, thanks for the answer!
i too go so hard for she shines that a national incident breaks out
Oh dear
red is like the dethklok of cloudbank send post
same
no, no
red is super emo
red is the mcr of cloudbank
red is the drake of cloudbank
cursed
S T O P
CEASE AND DESIST!
oh hey I called she shines being the first one lol
didn't expect the other half of the answer though
I always thought recursion "restarted the program" from the very beginning, i.e. long before everything went down, but traces of the old data were not wiped, and they were expressed in the form of Red's music
@frail fulcrum
Cool idea, but it raises the question: why did she write songs in the first cycle?
I sort of just assumed there was no beginning, you know? It's a weird temporal loop thing
Thinking about how significant it is that transistor managed to tell a conventional, nonmeta story in a video game but in a way that would not work in any other medium
No fourth wall metanarrative tricks or gimmicks
Just lots of introspection, world building, tone work, and meditation on the nature of human choice
I always thought that Transistor was the most linear of Supergiants games
In Bastion you make a couple choices at the end, and Pyre is just one hard choice after another
Maybe I’m just blanking, but was there a similar moment in Transistor?
Otherwise, it could work as a visual or graphic novel
not without losing the tone and the pacing and the texture and all the little minutae that make the story impactful
its not about branching choices or direct interaction with the player
but instead the tone and the spacing and the sense of loneliness and introspection provided by the way you explore and traverse the world and interact with the characters
It’s definitely true that the medium being a game enhances the tone of the world, but that’s true about almost all games. It’s a really good medium
It might be the most linear, but I think there's the most room for interpretation in Transistor

🅱less u
Wow, the Royce battle in the switch version changed immensely
?
oh?
How so?
@foggy fable I am also curious how haha
you can't leave us with that kind of sentence and not respond @foggy fable
Royce is replaced by Roy from fire emblem
Well... the Transistor Switch version hasn't been seen by anybody outside of SG AFAIK
Unless somebody made it to Royce at PAX while I wasn't looking 😄
are you implying theres new stuff in the switch version 
I am not, but it sounded like @foggy fable was
im onto you
not to be a spoilsport, but i think it was a joke about the jeff goldblum statue post ;)
that or they're setting up a joke
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhh
Encounter: giant Jeff Goldblum that materializes hovering and lounging in metropolitan areas, probably a sign or portent of something, although he’s not saying what
oh my god....it even got morgan
you know what you gotta add to switch version now huh (KIDDING!!!!)
BRB
builds 200 foot tall 3D printer
everyone with merch suggestions can pack up and go home now we have a winner
faq: can i suggest merch? if it isnt a giant open shirt royce statue to lounge in your city, we dont want to hear it
- I need to apologize to everyone, i was at work and couldn’t write back quickly😅 2. I -did- mean the giant Jeff goldblum statue. Apologies for the resulting fallout (but I can’t say that it wasn’t a little funny 😊)
You got me. I enjoyed it.
I didn't see the previous thing about jeff goldblum statues so I was so confused when we moved to that conversation
I mean, if the Camerata had gotten control of the city, can you tell me Royce wouldn't have made a statue of himself right off the bat
Royce, commanding the Transistor to make his statue: trust me, I'm an engineer
royce has a demo statue built near the cradle
he throws a tarp over it when red shows up
i’m laughing a little about the thought of someone just speedrunning the switch version of transistor while morgan wasn’t looking
Speedrun is like 40m, so it's almost plausible except for getting used to the controls and definitely being noticed
Not sure how pax handles game demos
i dunno if those techniques would work on switch, lol. im looking forward to the switch speedruns of it
I was at PAX- the Supergiant booth was pretty low-key, didn't really have much going on in lines (although I was there Monday so), the demo Switches were attached to the sides of the booth
(I don't have a Switch and don't plan on getting one too soon, so I admit I passed on the SG demos there in favor of stuff I hadn't played in any form yet 😅)
Isn’t the average playtime for 100% speedrun like 2 hours or something
any% transistor world record is 37:57 without loads low% is slightly slower but i don't know what it does that any% doesn't
i can't see any "100% speedruns" of transistor on youtube
(okay, correction: low% is played specifically with the aim of finishing the game with as little exp gained as possible, any% doesn't care and just takes the fastest route to the finish)
Got a link for us?
Improved my old PB a bit, but since we didn't have load remover back then, I'm not sure by how much this is actually faster. There are a lot small mistakes t...
Flood is most useful in passive
^
flattens royce with my 16-flood() loadout
i forgot what flood does
slow(ish)-moving damage sphere when it's in active- problem I nothing really stays in it long enough
but void stacks and then you can do tons of damage
void + crash + cull = death
all in the active slots
wait, you were talking about flood
ignore me
I was describing flood! Void is OP it's true
its been awhile since ive played lmfao
do you void during turn, or in real time?
void(purge, tap) is ez wins
Yeah that one is good too
@jolly radish lol isn't flood Royce's function?
Yup
flood is good but my favorite part is how in the switch version when you use it a giant statue of royce appears
(JK 😂 )
I SEE YOU TRYNNA PUT ONE OVER ON ME😤
@jolly radish what do you mean. this is a real screenshot.
YEAH
HFJFHJFJH GOOD PIN I AGREE
immortalize it
i like royce's sassy pinup battle pose too
oh wait that's red
that makes more sense
i was fooled until I saw that l e g g
Please press Transistor OST Extended on wax
red on the left royce on the right fjhfgjkgkj
transistor except instead of the backdrop to the royce fight being a lot of transistors it's just the Statue looming over you
so, the switch port,
yes of course,
i got an update for transistor on steam, what was in it
patch notes are usually pinned in the discussion forums
they added mr goldblum
i sure wish they added mr goldblum
when everything finds a way, nothing finds a way, you see?
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether everything could change, they didn't stop to think if everything should change.
The most recent patch notes are from June 18th...
Localization fixes and updates
Added reference to our official mailing list[www.supergiantgames.com]
Thank you for your continued support!```
aw yeah localization updates
Uhhh
Im dating the knife
I'm gay for the hammer
Xenoblade2.png
Boxer or Royce as the transistor in this would be sick.
I wonder if For gonna be there...
Darzi will be the glove you slap people with to challenge them to a duel
just expressing my excitement for transistor on switch and leaving
You saw the statue too?
hard surfaces.....cant handle smells....process clearly has the human afflictions of sensory issues and asthma
just one shot all three stages of the first boss, did 2400 dmg on first try at the planning test, and beat 5 encounters with all limiters no problem
nerf void lol
Void is op
yeh
void is good but it's also lategame
crash is still my favorite
it can stunlock anything
and that +50% damage is nice as well
but void() + crash()
rip process
void is epic
Augmented void,crash, and cull will one shot basically everything
It breaks the games sometimes tho
It took like 2 or three combos to kill the spine
lol the copycat ai on the 3rd agency test is broken. It just jaunt()s around randomly and then ping()s the wall
Doesn’t that work out in your favor, though?
yes
@grim current That's how I play... sounds right to me?
Void em Crash em stick em in a stew
I'm surprised to hear that though. The copy can get some wacky power combos, so maybe they just got a really bad loadout...
I thought you were referring to the "jaunts around randomly and pings the wall" part 😆
with "that's how I play" I mean
Oh I was
You have to ping everything to make sure it's there
Is there a way to fight the copycat again without starting the game over? I want to see if it works the second time.
It was super weird though. It wasn't even aiming at me.... Just moved around aimlessly and fired off a few functions in a random direction.
i wish sandbox was replayable
I want to believe it was just screaming "PING!" "PINGGG!"
That also could be the virus invading my body finding it funny
Tbh, I always saw newt as more of a vet than anything else
Or more like
injury cw bugs cw That guy who gets bitten by bugs to teach folks about the pain scale tbh
Coyote Peterson? Love that guy, he's so enthusiastic about everything
Hey guys
I wanted to purchase the vinyl of Transistor but I cant find it on the store
Hey @ocean ravine ! The Transistor vinyl is not currently available - we sold out of the press several months ago! We're interested in making it available again, but it's not set when that will happen yet.
Alright thanks, do you know how can I keep it in touch ?
With Twitter or even with some newsletter maybe ?
Yeah! We actually have a newsletter that we put out ~once per month or so, which you can sign up for here: www.supergiantgames.com/join
i'd sell my soul to transistor's vocal tracks, but i feel like the non-vocal tracks are also amazing but underrated??
what are y'alls fav instrumental tracks?
im personally addicted to Old Friends, and Gateless is a good one too
Old friends is fantastic, but my old standbys are waterwall and apex beat
Aw man
(dead meme voice) anyways, here's waterwall
I like old friends, gateless, water wall, and v_n_sh_ng p_nt
Vnshng pnt is another good one yeah
Transistor ost is good in the sense that I enjoy all of them even if I only remember to remember some names
Heightmap is fun
can i cheat and say i really like the instrumentals for in circles
especially the variants of it that you hear
Coasting is my jam
Forecast and vnshng point for me
There’s one scene where red uses the bouncing things and we get a still of Red and boxer flying through the air while boxer monologues
And there’s this v pretty, stripped down version of ‘paper boats’ playing in the bg, so there’s my vote lol
Coasting is my alarm in the morning, I can never be mad about waking up
The transistor ost is one of the few albums that i enjoy over 90% of. Not really inclined to pick a favourite, especially when they also all work with my singing compulsion
Water wall
This long and nobody mentioned Impossible
It's so fun (odd, given the circumstances in which it's used, but hey I'll take it)
Now here’s the real question
Which is your favorite vocal song
In circles, _n C_rcl_s, and The Spine for me
Paper Boats and She Shines are my favorites
We All Become is such an amazing song that hasn't gotten old for me
Also, if people need an alarm that will absolutely wake them up, I suggest the line "Look behind you" from PT. It, uh, wakes you up
The Spine, definitely
Signals, because I can actually sing it
Signals i think is the only song i havent always enjoyed
_n C_rcl_s and signals
Paper Boats
I love Paper Boats and In Circles
Well Sandbox is kind of just an alternate rendition of We All Become
Even tho you hear it more often in the game, it's less dramatic and I think a somewhat less memorable version as a result
I weirdly love this version of Impossible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo5te5eA-j8
This is the unreleased version of "Impossible" that plays when Royce uses Turn(). Originally from the Transistor soundtrack, composed by Darren Korb. You can...
But anyway, I love the entire OST myself
It is my absolute favorite game ost
I was just about to come in here to link that
Impossible and Gateless are still unbelievable to this day to me
thats really good
@spring plover
Don't remind me of all the Supergiant songs I can't sing properly because they're a tad too high for me.
Just sing em an octave lower, harmonize with red
yeh
impossible, gateless, tangent.
impossible is something special
This is the unreleased version of In Circles that plays after you put Sybil out of her misery. Originally from the Transistor soundtrack, composed by Darren ...
thats freaking goooooood
I’m looking at this whole thread and just like puzzling because I’m always floored by something in the soundtrack when I listen to it
In Circles started my love for the game (I listened to the soundtrack before I played, bought it the day of release but the game several montha later)
Fun music theory fact about In Circles, it alternates between the 5/4 and 6/4 time signatures. (ca also be interpreted as 5/8 and 6/8)
5/4 songs just sound so much more interesting than 4/4
fact: you can’t swear in a sg discord. (I know, I’ve tried.)
you're a survivor of the swear wars of 2018
yeah that's right
you erase those reaccs
???
I'm sorry I'm an idiot
no it was funny
If anything was funny, it was probably the running away from the water after dipping a toe into it
honestly ? yes
oh you can swear in an sg discord.........once 🔪 🤖 💀
Really you can do anything........... o n ce
Like the Daffy Duck magic trick?
you can call down the process to change your city around!!
once.
you can go on a life-changing walk around Fairview........once
You can read a book....... once.
You can get impaled and uploaded to a sword.... once
You can order junction Jan’s...once
just had to take care of a small fire in my kitchen so id like to put forth that you CAN make toast....but only once
Is everything ok?
YEAH i caught it before it got bad thank goodness
Reminds me of the time one of my friends worhipped a toaster
He tied it to the steering wheel of his car as proof it protected it, leaving it unlocked
No one touched it, I'm betting upon seeing a toaster tied to a steering wheel
That's a vaguely ominous sight
He had a point
this is getting a little off topic
True
transistor, a strange world where everything is exactly the same, except they call pizza flatbread
like, "hmm it's a fictional world, the vocabulary must be different. oh i know, let's change the world for pizza"
i love sgg
you can love sgg.....as many times as u like
(but you can never leave)
Life imitates art, several weeks ago I went to a place that had 'salad stuffed flatbread' which when served was basically a pizza folded in half over some greens.
Or, they're Transistor fans 🤔
everything belongs on pizza
i'm sure transistor man would agree with me
why do people have such pizza opinions
He did want Sea Monster though, so frankly his ~pizza~ flatbread opinions are questionable.
caitlin did u accidentaly eat a weird falafel
i had a pizza covered in arugula once and had no choice but to eat all of it, do not mock my suffering T^T
I was not the one that ordered it, so, no.
We were all expecting some kind of calzone monster and then there it was. Pizza folded in half with some greens resting between the folds.
uhhh transistor characters ranked by likelyness to invent calzone
same hat, cait
SEA MONSTER
-fish
-cheese
-sauce
-pined apple
-spongebob squarepants
- Farrah
same hait
:NO:
I'll allow it.
- olmarq
so we all agree preston is the most likely to have a bag full of calzones
you get a second option to investigate after you pick up his trace and boxer's like "huh...what's this? some kind of folded flatbread? ...whatever it is, the process aren't liking it too much"
would it even be recognizable as 'folded flatbread'?
My god
eating and driving claims another soul 😔
olmarq would advertise for the new calzone company but wouldn't really get the appeal
darzi would try to add ingredients to the outside of the calzone, ruining the appeal
darzi that's just thick pizza
"i put sauce on top, it's avant garde now, it subverts expectations" "you ruined a perfectly good calzone is what you did"
transistor au where somebody redirects the process to start a bakery instead of destroying the city
it's called [NULL] and it serves [NULL]
royce: i have today ... deconstructed pizza.
(a salad with toast on the side)
infinite paperclips situation, but it makes calzones instead
caloudbank zone
caldbank...
cloudbanks low cal calzone zone
they're low cal AND low zone
low cloud cloubank bank
wave tennegan has calzone opinions and you will hear them
calzopiate
Well that's a high calzone zone then.
breaking news: calzones blamed for process outbreak destroying the city. more at 11, if we're still around then
the reason the transistor errored out when hitting boxer was because boxer had recently eaten a calzone
The process refuse to eat them?
or maybe they just whetted the process' appetite....for destruction
perhaps they're just incapable of understanding the method by which calzones are eaten
they've gotten the taste of marinara, nothing can stop them now
the process's red eyes are made of marinara
royce discovered the transistor by making an everything calzone, and then opening it back up
when everything can be put into a calzone, nothing can. you see?
Yeah can i get uhhhh 🅱️oneless calzone please
When everything’s edible, nothing’s edible
I love this discord channel so much
Same dude
Did u guys watch the game as lit of transistor? Dude, I really cried in the view of the game
I agrees.
Games as Lit is good in general, and their video was crucial in my understanding of Transistor's meaning.
Speaking of favourite tracks: In Circles and Gold Leaf (hummed version).
oh gold leaf hummed is great
Discourse on pizza vs flatbread
was under the impression that flatbread is just a bit fancier pizza, or something like that
Pizza is more well known, but flatbread sounds kinda nice
i always thought flat bread was just a big slice of bread with tomato sauce and stuff on top
like a panini
never really thought about it tho
in cloudbank, ovens are banned
It’s funny that you mention the shiny sheet, because swear to god
Everything that that newspaper is is essentially cloudbank
Honestly all that this paper is missing is an interview with Sybil about her next charity gala
Before we all become ooonee...
the hum button is right there...
JK JK i know what u mean it would be amazing
process all singing as one in the bacground. what's the word, ensemble i think?
the word is turret opera from portal 2
But with cluckers
it's in the ending cutscene
hfngb omg...i have what 2 look forward to
anyway YES singing cluckers
You have everything to look forward to for p2 tbh
But how would we know that the process singing wouldn’t sound like a bunch of servers humming
I like to imagine floppy drive music, personally!

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/floppotron PayPalMe: https://paypal.me/floppotron Toto - Africa cover by computer hardware orchestra. Which song would you l...
Well, that's a rabbit hole I'll enjoy falling down
_n c_rcl_s (I think I spelled that right) always reminded me of those floppotron videos
_n C_rcl_s is what I think is the actual sound of the Process singing
i thought it was processed sybil singing
this is tenuously related at best but i have this friend who spent like her entire youth thinking that the lyric was "i guess it rains down in africa" and that toto was just very blase about the whole thing
bring it back in. your friend was...asher kendrell
you saved it
Camerata members rated by how many lyrics of Africa by toto they know
- Sybil
- Grant
- Asher
- Royce
royce is pretty sure the word "africa" must be in there somewhere
like statistically speaking it's likely
Sybil does karaoke competitively with her eyes closed
the song is playing, royce like "hmm i don't recognize this" and sybil like "ROYCE. THIS IS AFRICA. THIS IS THE SONG."
royce is like "no he said i bless the rains do nina freak uh. africa is the other song"
Red in the corner like"this is why we need a revolution"
Ya know, it's a good thing Red didn't wear heels the night she got attacked
I'm not sure they could have stood up to the abuse required from hauling the Transistor and the Progress
she probably wouldve kicked em off
how does cloudbank feel on your feet
it's gotta be a smooth floor i think
maybe the processed floor would be subtly coarse
Nah, processed floor would be gross
Doesn’t the boxer at one point says something like ”Ugh, fertile ground” when they encounter something?
I bet the processed groud is smooth and hard.
Can't wait till Transistor is released on Switch. I love this game even more than Bastion
Boxer said that when they encountered the plant things but idk exactly what that was
one of the creeps' preferences is hard pavement
cant blame em
Can confirm: Most Creeps are urban
The "fertile ground" moment was when Red was first teached how to show off with Transistor. I don't remember the exact location though
oh yeah, with the little process stalks out of the ground
man, yall know that sound effect when you walk through those and they just fall off
thats a good sound effect
who needs terminal sounds, process grass pulling sound effect is what i want as my text message alert
I think that red’s wearing a low heel, tbh
I mean, miles better than a stiletto, but not as good as like, running sneakers
The camerata needed to have the decency to at least try and murder her on her morning run tbh
(Like all good serial killers)
You said that and for a moment I thought you were saying that boxer was wearing heels
he boxes in heels its his gimmick in fights
That'd almost get me interested in boxing
tbh? yeah
Red's character design is just... Amazing
An evening gown with a jacket thrown over it and the skirt cut short is some sort of stroke of genius
Or....Jen-ious ;)
Works for me
did she take the jacket off of him after he died, before he died, or did she just have a matching pair
The former, I believe
In the flashback we get, Red is only wearing her gown and it isn't torn yet
So we can assume she tore the bottom half off and put on Boxer's jacket after he had been stabbed and the two of them had been teleported
She also wasn't wearing the jacket when they were attacked
And I think in one of the early trailers you can see her put it on ("I always thought it's hard to make new friends")
I was just thinking that
before or after removing the sword, i wonder
...After?
It'd make more sense and be easier to get someone who is sitting jacket off if they didn't have a giant weight stuck in their chest
and then she just puts his body back exactly how he was before
No, no, the jacket comes with the Transistor
the jacket is stuck to the transistor, so when she pulls it out, the jacket comes with, through the chest hole
I figured it was Boxer's function: Jacket
...
yeah idk
Maybe it patched itself
At the time that that the game starts, the process hadn’t gone nuts yet, so I could totally see one of them taking care of it
gore cw I thiiiink that I read a hc somewhere of the transistor having a cauterizing feature, to make cleanup a little easier, so maybe there’s that?
Or maybe red’s a really good seamstress.
what patched itself, the jacket?
pretty sure the sword didn't go all the way through
might not even have touched the spine
Which means there's a chance that the spine is actually just Boxer's spine after being processed 
Damn, beat me to it 😛
Did anybody else obsessively destroy the process grass stalks?
🙋
🙋
🙋
Not me tho
My teammate and friend Wolfkid is going to play Transistor for 1st time, my long time unpaid marketing worked. XD So if you want you can join her Twitch to see her stream. https://www.twitch.tv/wolfkid9963
why is it so dang hard to find an image of a cell
google images just wants to show me electrical components
hdnfjvnghg
google: what about a large, fun, piece of technology?
there's a little close up of a cell in one of the trailers, i think
might be able to use that
I don't know why she's bouncy, but I'm glad they changed that animation for the actual game. It fits her elegant badass character more.
¿Por que no los dos?
sorry if this has been answered but is there gonna be a physical version of transistor its my favourite game and i need to own it
lol I was about to ask this too
same
i wish i had the $$$ for transistor merch 😩
I wonder if they'll put a new USB on the store for this release
@green flame @next bison @bright root a lot of people have been asking but as far as i’m aware there are no plans for it
We don't currently have plans for a physical version, but it's not something we've ruled out. Are you all asking about Switch specifically, btw?
any system at all
i just thought id ask now cause the recent announcement was about it
if it also gets a physical limited run, i hope there’s still going to be a PS4 version
i don’t even have a ps4 and i got the bastion one just to have it on my shelf
@cedar grove Awww thank you! I wish I had a stack of PS4s to pass around now.
aw, i’ll get one eventually :’) just didn’t wanna miss it
i finally have enough to buy a ps4 im so hype
that's a good feeling
(there is a transistor theme for the ps4 and it's fabulous, just saying)
yea top 3 themes on ps4 = transistor, firewatch, persona 5 20th anniversary amazon jp exclusive theme
Yea i know
@full peak i think you should be able to find it on the Supergiant Website
Thats where i found it i think
Here's a link to the Transistor PS4 theme: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP2125-CUSA00502_00-TRANSISTORTHEME0

Yo, the pyre theme is also great
And if there was a bastion theme i would buy that too
Dang that theme is sick, makes me wish i had a ps4 to customize
It's stunning
For those interested in Smash, I made this moveset for Red just for fun. It was requested by my friend who's a massive fan of Supergiant.:

I was waiting for the flourish to be an move and I am not disappointed
ok but you know how... jigglypuff sings ppl to sleep in smash? That, but... Red. humming.
That should just be her taunt
@hollow sable Yeah I thought of typing it as a hold taunt but I was blacking out lol. Alternatively, it could be a fixed taunt but she only hums the four notes of the spine.
^ Up taunt
Side taunt: Slow dance with transistor.
Down taunt: tap the transistor twice near her foot with maybe an easter egg hitbox like Luigi and Greninja.
@frail fulcrum Is flourish what I described in up 🅱
I've barely played the game but I truly loved the atmosphere so I don't feel like I missed out.
Very interesting! I've been brainstorming a smash moveset for Red fora a whlie, and we both have some very different, but both good ideas!
Won't use:
Switch, Help
Jab:
Punch, Kick, Spark(Royce's Animation) (Like Ike's Jab)
U-Tilt:
Load()/Help() Animation, but up like Palutena's OR
Something like MetaKnight's u-tilt
F-Tilt:
Ping()
D-Tilt:
Telekinetically "slide" transistor forward on ground
Dash-A:
Bounce()
U-Smash:
Cull()
F-Smash:
Crash()
D-Smash:
Tap()
N-Air:
"Sex Kick" like Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Shiek... ect
U-Air:
<>Swipe Up with transistor like Marth<>
OR
Stab up
F-Air:
Telekinetic forward thrust like when camerata attempts to take red
B-Air:
Self-Buff (The end part, like Ike b-air)
D-Air:
<>Slicing strike downward (spike) like Ike kinda<>
OR
Level-up like animation
N-Special:
Breach() (Slightly Aimable, Chargeable, non-storeable)
U-Special:
Flourish (Hitbox?)
S-Special:
Purge()
Flood()
Jaunt()
D-Special:
Load()
Mask()
Final Smash:
Turn() OR
Help(Passive - Superuser)
Grab:
Get()
U-Throw:
Turn into "CardCube" and send up. Similar to Kirby/DDD star spit
F-Throw:
Same as U-Throw, but forward.
B-Throw:
Same as U-Thorw, but backward.
D-Throw:
Lightly Tap() the opponent
Ledge-A:
Royce-like Attack from ledge
Ground-A-Forward:
<>Sweeping Leg Attack<>
Ground-A-Backward:
<>Sweeping Leg Attack<>
Ground-A-Slip:
<>Sweeping Leg Attack<>
Dodge:
<>Generic Dodge<>
S-Dodge:
<>Generic Spot Dodge<>
Entrance:
Teleport in in MuseScreenIdle position
Taunt 1:
Humming
Taunt 2:
Fidget Eye + "Jerk"
Taunt 3:
Power lost
Idle 1:
Examine
Idle 2:
Fidget
Victory 1:
MuseScreenIdle
Victory 2:
Humming to Victory Fanfare
Victory 3:
Level up
Other:
Shield:
Bounce(Passive)
(I can remove this if it's too long or anything.)
If some of the wording doesn't make sense, its probably because I'm using names of things directly from the game files (self-buff, cardcube, museScreenIdle, fidget eye)
@cobalt fjord Yours is definitely more thought out and it's conclusive. I especially loved your D-Tilt, Chargeable 🅱 Breach(), and a Palutena-like U-Tilt. Very fitting.
I disagree with the N-Air
Yeah, I'm not too happy with the N-air either. I've flipped back and forth between the "sex kick" and the pit/palutena style one.
Seriously though, well done concept.
Thanks, I was planning on making a smash mod to add her, but thats wayyyy too much work for my modding experience and amount of free time
Oh man turn would be a cool final smash. Bayonetta time-freeze but like 10 seconds-ish
NICE!
thank
True Fan
Someone earlier wrote that Royce is like newt scamander
