spawns 100 badcells let's go ladies let's go!
tap and void also cannot be double tap critted as far as i can manage. this leaves me very confused as to why crash breach and switch can be
tried it with all 16 moves now and its just those 3
but why? one of them isnt even a damaging move
much like the text on the red poster we'll probably never know
So, we all just spammed flourish in some part of the game, right?
I'm so excited for the game to be free and lots of new people to fall in love with it
I can smell those beatiful fanarts 
@worldly garnet I've seen a similar interaction with Jaunt (purge, spark). It spawns a load of purge projectiles along with the spark ones.
!!! testing this out
thats super strong
whoops i accidentaly wrote an essay about transistor in another chat again
Hehe
jaunt with purge and spark is amazing
no u
The crit mechanic might have been left in the game accidentally, what with it only working for some functions
It's possible, maybe I'll ask about it next q&a along with the poster text
I mean if it can go unnoticed by the community for so long, it can certainly slip past a busy development schedule
had a galaxy brain thought that red's hair is a parallel to ariel from the little mermaid given that they're both singers who have had their voice taken from them
has this been confirmed at all or is this just a coincidence?
This is fine but this implies that Royce is equivalent to Ursula and Iām Not Sure How I Feel About That
sunkish bala poor unfortunate souls cover
The first time I saw Transistor on stream, the dude called Red a "poor unfortunate soul"
Thought that was kinda funny
UM YES PLEASE???
Mermaid au plz
no just musical covers XD
go read the lyrics of "Want you Gone" from Portal 2 and tell me that doesn't fit as a back-and-forth between Red and Royce XD
I live for bad descriptions of games
That some intern clearly wrote after 5 seconds of googling
Omg... please share if you find any sometime haha
Ah itās not there anymore but it occasionally shows up as a promo in the iphone App Store and the last time I saw the description was just...wrong?
I wish I had saved it. I think I took a screencap but I deleted it since
yeah yeah i remember what you're talking about
found it
ehhhhh close... enough?
she forgot that her bf was a sword the whole time
wow, american idol is more intense than i remember
lol
thank you for digging that up XD
just imagined the Camerata as American Idol judges and my soul withered a little
"and loses her memory" 
hshfjfjcjvn

everybody gansgta til the process starts wiping the city
So I'm creating a new pathfinder character, and I was really tempted to make a spiritualist to reference red and Mr. Nobody with a dedicated phantom
I would totally play a mute, so worth
noice
Zeal or Love phantom? š
also I
a) have a fair amount of PF experience so please chat away about this
b) have played a Spiritrualist so can probably help a bit with the build
and c) have also made a Transistor reference character so... yeah I can share that build if people want XD
Okay so
Transistor was awesome. But why did Red do that?
I must not be understanding the entire story
Not to be a red apologist, but like, what were her other options
"red apologist" gkdfjhgf
But yeah the implication, imo, is that the Transistor can't bring back people who've been killed - Red tries that, with Boxer, and it doesn't work
red has nothing to apologize for. the camerata on the other hand,
or at least, she doesn't know how to do it, and there's nobody around who could tell her how
so Red could rebuild the city, sure, but it would be empty. She could play with the buildings and the world forever but she'd be alone and the city would be dead
transistor is a game about exercising self-agency. i think that explains the ending pretty well.
in a way, she is finding her voice
literally and figuratively
Also, if you want to talk implications and themes or whatever, there's some hints that sword!boy isn't really him, especially compared to country!boy
That's my reading
I saw some fanart once that implied that royce wouldn't have done the same if he won the fight, and.... I don't know about that
the ending shocked me the first time around but the more i thought about it the more i empathized. i can't imagine living alone in an empty city, one that it seems she didn't totally adore in the first place
the transistor's voice?
i suppose, but that's all she would have left of him. his voice
thats true
Like, they all believe in an afterlife
Sorry busy day, lol. I mean literally a dedicated phantom
Also ended up going with an archetype that removed the phantom anyway XD
Obligatory "I love Transistor so much" to keep it relevant to the channel
i wonder if there's a better way to put a surprise suicide in a game tho. it might not lead to ideation because it's such an abstract situation she's in
Actually, leading up to her death, sheās humming āPaper Boatsā in the hummed version of the last areaās music
A fun and bittersweet fact
I cannot listen to Blank Canvas to this day š
Oh no, I forgot about the hummed paper boats! 
me: 0
Blank Canvas: starts playing
me: šÆ
i don't think sword voice was just in her head? Boxer tries to find other people near Junction's by yelling out and the game world reacts to the volume of his voice. the read i agree with is since boxer is trapped in the transistor along with a bunch of other people her options are rebuild an empty city, or be with the person she loves. Royce might revel in the idea of finally building a city with a permanent face that stands the test of time and might not mind being alone but Red certainly doesn't want that. And after interacting with Boxer and to an extent the other people inside the transistor over the course of the game i don't think she reads it as suicide. They're in a computer simulation anyway right, so what's jumping into one more?
I think Royce mentioned that when holding the transistor, you can hear voices of people you knew well.
Hey hereās a spicy Sad Take,
If thatās the case imagine Royce holding his transistor and listening to the voices of his Camerata friends going, āWhy did this happen to us?ā
I mean... yeah
Grant: .......okay so what did we learn?
Sybil: "Guys I can explain"
sybil: royce no offense but were all dead already and if its all the same to you im cheering for red
Lmfao
Sybil
reasons cited: thirst
You're probably joking, but how did Royce find out about the voice thing? HMM?
Who died in the sword that he would've known, he's kind of a recluse
My theory is that sybil told him
She's well connected, so she can't stand holding the sword
Too many angry words each time
Ah that makes sense.
What if Processed!Sybil didn't want to hurt Red, but rather tried to hit the snooze button on the Transistor?
Sybilās trace was never ārecordedā, though, you pick it up as āintegratedā after the fight which to me suggests sheās never even touched the Transistor. Someone other than Sybil could have told Royce; Grant and Asher knew a lot of people, some of them probably relatively personally (Niola, Lillian, Bailey?). It was probably one of them... and maybe they warned Sybil it was a bad idea to interact with the Transistor for that reason
š i was playing transistor again today and noticed that royce mentioned that he peeked inside the transistor. does that mean he just...like...look at the insides of the transistor or he went inside the transistor..
i cant remember the words after but its something like seeing the sky
which reminds me of boxer's(?) line when he said something like he saw red where the sky is
"when i look up to where the sky should be, i see you"
"and i know you can hear me"
and yeah royce says something similar, about how there isn't much in the transistor, it's just like staring at the sky
ooohh
This made me play She Shines again ...
STOP I LOVE THAT SONG ššš
when she shines on me at night~ šµ
and her liiiights ā show green š and white āŖ she will keeeeeep us iiiiin her sight š we all lieeeeee beneaaaaath her liiiiight
šÆ šµ
Although i never really understood those lines... If Red's singing this, Who is the "she" talks about ? Cloudbank, Sybil, thƩ process, the transistor ?
I imagine itās the personification of the city itself
Or like the sky, considering they can change its color and such
I understand it as the moon (or the Sun) of cloudbank, acting as an eye for the camerata
my headcanon is that royce hears his own voice from the transistor bc he's egotistical like that
He just hears the voice from the John Madden astronaut video
oh no
If i remember the lyrics for she shines right it's about the moon, but after the story starts you can think of it being about red to the people in the transistor
Since they can look out and see her and all
I love the fact that in canon Red wrote these songs before she lost her voice but the sheer force of irony relates them to the plot
Transistor universe runs on rule of drama confirmed
Well, I never understood why the Spine is called that
It looks more like a toothpick
the spine has incredibly buff arms
I'd need to play Transistor again, but from my point of view, it seems that once you crush the heart of the spine, the Process is going full mechanical, erasing and resetting cloudbank more precisely than before, just acting like his primal function
It seemed pursuing a deeper goal before that ?
I thought it's just that you were heading away from it and to get to fairview you have to go back through where it's been active longest
But i haven't played for a while too so who knows
Hmm... what if The Spine is built around the landmark "The Spine Of The World". It would explain the name better, and it would explain why the thing leaves behind a processed husk, as opposed to every other Process.
Like the "man" Process doesn't look complete to me, maybe it's just the process mimicking human society, but actually got stopped halfway
š¤
Don't really know how to explain it, and again, i really need to play it again x)
That does remind me it's boxer who names all the process, and he got all drunk around the spine so he might've named it in reference to the song
We also might overthink it, trudat
That is one third of the fun with this game
Also true
Oh no I missed the conversation about the end explanation š¦
it's never too late to join in!!
Well, nothing's really ending in talking about Transistor š
Hahaha
We'll be happy to read what you think !
(Even though i lurk a lot here, i always enjoy reading all the theories around here)
Theory: Lurkers are smarter than they might seem
I want a Royce recursion mod so bad XD
xD
I don't want to, but my brain has me say "roycursion"
dfvsxe
(i i knew how to draw, i'd draw red looking through the "eye" of the transistor and looking at all the people integrated, like little hamsters in the Country)
lol
My idea of why Red did it it“s because she hated cloudbank mostly, in some parts of her text you can read that her music generated a lot of controversy on the population. She loved the people but don“t really liked the city, so in the end there“s nothing left for her, ruling the city is something empty for her, specially without the people. not even sword boyfriend was there because he is stuck inside the transitor. I“ve seen a lot of people complaining with thinks like "if she was going to SPOILER why didn“t she just let Royce win?" and it“s because Transistor was never a quest of a hero saving the world, it was a story about a lover and her vengeance. Red wanted the camerata dead for what they did to his lover. And, like in every other vengeance at the end there“s only freedom and emptyness, like a singer without a voice, and a city without people or a lover without her/his love. Red is love, passion and sacrifice because Transistor itself, is a tragedy
i wouldn't go so far as Red wanting the Camerata ded, but ye
I want to support your view on Red's view on the city by pointing out that she studied architecture, and cancelled that altogether.
Although maybe there's some biterness in them not being able to pay properly for their crimes
(As i was saying, except for sybil and royce, since we literally fight em to death)
At the end, after the process has been defea- well, averted... after that, Red could've spend 24/7 doing architecture. But she didn't want that, she wanted to be with her dearest again.
Tbh I didn't thought Asher was a bad guy you know
Totally understandable
Weeeeell
Asher is more in a grey area in the end, but he agreed in the camerata's plan, sooooo
oh oh
Up to each player deciding
I have a question about the camerata
why did they threw the Transistor to Red?
Lack of functions to kill her in range or something?
The way I understand it, the Transistor would've integrated Red, but the Camerata (save for Sybil) did not know Auden would be there, let alone he'd bite the bullet for Red.
Not really ? I think it's stated over the course of the game that it was planned to integrate her from the start
oh yeah I understand why Red was the target, my question was most directed to
why they threw it
Instead of killing politic adversaries, would be better to make profit of their intelligence by integrating them in the system ?
We're in a dystopian universe after all
actually that“s a good idea
its so sad though the camerata used the process for their own benefits and manipulating masses
The concept of Cloudbank was so cool
Transistor as a dlc weapon in Hades 
Or Easter Egg
In the limiter lore, there's logs of the different processes, so they all definitely existed before the camerata lost the sistor
Well... There are probably a lot of Krakens
But well... Any of them works with transistors? 
What is the release date of the game ?
lmgtfy
whats blocks
The units storage on drives is allocated in, if i remember right
No yeah but what's the transistor equiv
I think maybe the process blocks?
City blocks. The friendly info overlay says the destination is X blocks away.
Ooooh
Does anyone else think Billie Eilish kinda seems like a darker version of Red?
It gives me vibes of when you're in turn() and the music is kinda muted and bassy
transistor: disconnects from cloudbank
the process: its free real estate

15 Transistor Facts You Didn't Know
Fact #1: At one point, Mr. Nobody mentions that they left themselves open for a flatbread. This is a subtle nod to the fact that pizza is made out of dough
I played an hour of the game again last night and really liked that line tbh
pizza.......is just... flatted bread
Some pizza makes me swear that it's made out of soap.
Can I have my flatbread... *bassboosts* byteless
love that bitcrunch
big mood syd
also where else should one be gay besides main?
I just named a character Cibyl, lol
coming back just to contribute that sybil is cute and good and also one of the few cosplays i've done
i love her a lot
i wanna cosplay her so much!!
I think I have ancient pics of my Sybil cosplay somewhere... I should really take some updated ones
i definitely went the easy way and just made a tube for the dress
i have the umbrella somewhere and that was the real focus
every cosplay needs an umbrella
Au where every character has an umbrella
Everyone has nice umbrellas because it rains a lot, and it rains a lot because everyone wants to show off their umbrellas
The will of the people
Asher and Grant have matching umbrellas, and Royce has one of those nerdy flap fold umbrella things
asher and grant share one big umbrella
(They kiss under it)
Shomar would have an inconspicuous black umbrella, but it would have tricks in the handle
royce
hjfgjhgjhgk
Where did you find this picture of sybil
nah Royce just gets wet, cause hes' a rebel XD
Royce, standing in a thunderstorm: when everything changes nothing changes
Literally the entire rest of the Camerata: Dude you're gonna get pneumonia
- laughs in smoker *
Would he briefly go under the umbrella to lite his cigarette?? š¤š¤
Nvm heād start vaping
lol
Theory/hypothesis about where Transistor takes place. Loads of spoilers, for both Transistor and another game called Soma.
||Itās suggested that everyone and everything is made of data. Is the entirety of the events of Cloudbank taking place in a simulation or a datamass, such as what the game Soma takes place in - people who went in for routine scans had their consciousness copied as data and put into a datamass in a satellite that was then jettisoned into space. Soma takes place hundreds or so of years after the real Earth was destroyed due to human intervention.
Is everybody in Cloudbank in there for somewhat of the same reason; after having their brains scanned and coded into data, then planted into Cloudbank, as a kind of haven for what was left of humanity after the world ended? Everything seems to be made out of data, even the people and their consciousness and throughout the game it turns out that everything is falling apart or being deleted, possibly suggesting the datamass they are in is damaged or going through a routine āhard resetā?
Or even differently, what if mankind are creating societies in a cloud server, out of random personalities and people that they create?||
My theory isnāt entirely complete or fully fleshed out because I havenāt played the game for a while and donāt have the most firm grasp on lore, but this is what I could come up with.
What do yāall think of this?
Interesting. I don't think it's a "routine reset", though. If so, the process wouldn't leave Red alone at the end, would it?
I do have an issue with the giant spoiler tag game specific chats are spoiler safe š
it even says in the channel outline thingy "Spoilers are OK"
Your theory does raise the question of where people go when they move to the country (or what the country even is)
so if you're here you're kinda expecting spoilers
A game theory vid on transistor would be... āinterestingā
Based on the context i'd say that the process is largely responsible for the damage and resetting of the city, and that it's not supposed to do that as far as anyone knows since everyone is freaking out about it
one thing is completely certain which is royce definitely vapes
royce vaped before any of us thought about it
Could have warned that theyāre spoilers for Soma rather than Transistor. Had to stop reading =\
my bad, didn't realise it was not only giant spoiler but also mixed spoiler that should be hidden
yeah, maybe hide the bit thatās specifically spoilers for a non transistor thing
Yeah edited now - theory preface now says āspoilers for Somaā.
you donāt need to spoiler tag for transistor in here though.
Still keeping the full thing tagged in case anything reflects on Soma.
God damn itās 10:45pm I gotta sleep lmao
Goodnight yāall.
First 4 Figures (They make statues and collectibles) put a poll up to try and generate interest in a Red statue. They can be a bit pricey but totally worth the money for the detail alone.

https://www.epicgames.com/store/en/product/transistor/home Transistor is now avaible for free
i got it but it dosen't let me download it and i have the epic games launcher
Try restarting the launcher
Also good to see this gem free for a little while
More ppl need to play it
Installing!
How long is the game gonna be free for
Ok
Thanks
Didnāt want to give the link for it being free to my friends when itās not
they should make an announcement or something
I knew that from a website
This moment when you have wanted complain on Epic for don't give me a polish version for this game but you get it (
On information they don't write about polish version
nice
can someone help me? for some reason i can't download the transistor on epic games store. it says error code E150-0
if someone has a solution or some fix, please notify me... thanks
I am actually getting the same error!
Same here š°
and i cant download any other games (in the store)
i hope epic has a fix for this, i really wanna play transistor
Hey, sorry about this folks. We're working with Epic to get this resolved
Thank you! 
If I may ask, what's your OS, and country?
Its windows 7 canada
Windows 7, US
:0
32 / or 64 bit?
64
Same
Thanks
š
Quick thing to try if you haven't already, but fully exit the launcher and then restart it
@humble sandal You see the Transistor tile in your library, but you cannot download it. Correct?
If either @vapid tulip or @humble sandal could PM me the logs from the Epic launcher that would be much appreciated. Go to the settings ā in the launcher > Show Logs. I've been asked that you both try the install flow again, as an outage may have been the cause
i go to the store and it just doesn't let me get the game
Try fully exiting the launcher from the system tray and restarting it
hey im new here
Welcome!
hi hi!!!!
Hello š
Luna... Best dog
Shout out to tech support, unsung heroes of the 21st century
š£ š¢
And shout out to Luna, best dog
She's just..... so good
Yeah!
It's sad, but I can't use Luna in battle bc I have help() on passive. I gotta have that 25% chance to use kill(), it's too cool not to
You're so right
500 is enough damage for me
More damage more better 
Transistor is free for a short while on the Epic Games Store
would love to be able to have it DRM-free on GoG š
i might grab it on GoG anyways š
the OST alone is ā¤
Sgg games are nominally Drm free I think
In that you can just run the executable without the launcher
I'm not sure if they've changed that in epic game store
It works for Hades, I would think Transistor would be the same but I haven't tried it myself
RE: Epic
Transistor is in fact the same, yes
Allow me to take a moment and thank the devs for adding the mechanic that at any point in the game you can stop and have Red hum. It really adds to the feel of the game, and her voice, even if she can't sing, is still so nice to listen to.
Just finished it and wow I'm crying over a sword again
This makes the third fictional sword I've been moved to tears by (Fi and Fern were the first two)
Hey
so I'm having some trouble with figuring out the controls on pc
it says "tap to plan crash" but idk what I'm supposed to do
I tried clicking and it didn't work
I know I'm being an idiot but plz hlep
Select Crash() then use the attack mouse button (right click I think). Alternatively, point at your target and press 1 (or 2, 3, 4 for the other functions)
hi!! just got transistor off epic games, when i tried starting it up it asks for authorization to use Command Prompt, is this normal?
Hey, try running the game directly from its .exe file and see if it still gives you that prompt
should be in Program Files\Epic Games\Transistor\
hmm doesnt work, game doesnt seem to want to start up from there
i love this game
@barren gazelle Yes, that's normal! It means you don't have .NET installed, and the game will install it for you
ohh okay!! thanks, was a little worried haha
hey there
I just have a question, on the epic games launcher the game Transistor is on sale for free right now but my pc isnt all that great for gaming and transistor is also on the ps4 store but is still regular price so i was wondering if there is anyway to connect the 2 so i can get the game on my ps4 without paying
Unfortunately I believe ps4 storefront is separate from epic :(
I don't believe so unfortunately, I think it is only free specifically on Epic's storefront
ok
Try running it on pc anyway
pee pee dong rat
It's not a super intensive game
If all else fails you could borrow a friend's pc or something
Yeah you can still pick it up free to play later even if it doesnāt run
It only takes a day to play once
thats a good point, you may as well pick it up on the pc just in case you are able to run it in the future
It never hurts to accept free games!
(Now accepting a free copy of Transistor for iOS)
Is anyone else having an issue seeing a cursor ingame?
I don't recall having any such issue, but it's been a long time since I've played
well it did want to work correctly in windowed mode...
||so we can all agree that the transistor got stuck in someone at one point when the camerata was using it right||
It's stoll considerate to use spoiler tags (though probably more useful if there's context outside of the tags detailing why it's spoiler tagged)
just finished the game
probably the second most beautiful game i have played this year
was pretty sick
although i might admit, the last boss was very easy
maybe because of all the upgrades i had at that point?
The art direction is beautiful, the story is emotionally gripping and poignant, and the game is 70% computer jokes (an objectively good thing). It truly is a fantastic game
it's funny how it was so hard for me to beat the second boss of the game
but not the final one
the final boss is easy/hard based on your playstyle
the spine still gives me trouble
yeah some loadout combinations can cheese the whole game
The Spine was the only time I got a Game Over screen, but the end of that fight was breathtaking
^
well actually
i used like cull plus void and mask on the last boss
which made it a walk in the park ngl
Same, but I'm really bad at dodging and not getting hit, so I lost my void()
i didn't lose a single thing ;v
;(
one time i beat him without dealing damage in turn at all
just using turn and mask to keep distance
using mask between turns can help
i forget if you need to augment it with jaunt to be able to use it during cooldown though
You don't, augmenting with Jaunt lowers the cooldown from 10 seconds to 7
the way i ran it, the flow was mask -> attack -> turn move away -> mask
@full peak Wait what was the most beautiful game then
Hollow Knight @wispy stratus
GOOD CHOICE
I mean I had played Hollow Knight before 2019
But I revisited it in 2019
And beat it
you can drag yourself out of Royce's line of fire if you jam a direction while his turn is going off. You move very slowly but you can sometimes pull yourself off his line and avoid shots
if you put bounce() (shield) and tap() (double HP) on passive you can just tank a bunch of his turns without losing functions
yeah passive bounce is OP in the late game
i cant beat man without passive bounce + whichever one does the health regen
Hi ı have problem about transistor, when ı opened game my dialog crahters problem.for examples normaly 'Coin' but ı see 'Co*n' liket this. How can ı fix that
Only I-İ Charahters
Contact support, I don't think support pays too much attention here
Yeah, the ending is really surprising the first time around
Hi guys! I am a little bit confused over Functions and Upgrades. Iāve been playing them for a while but it seems like none of the combos are effective. I searched for some builds online but for now i cant really understand where to put what. Can some one help me making a somewhat optimized build? I have Crash(), Breach(), Spark(), Jaunt(), Bounce(), Switch(), Help(), Mask(), Ping(), Load(). 5 upgrade slots, 1 Passive, 20 mem. Honestly i cant really differenciate bounce and spark. And no use for mask.
breach on crash is a great earlygame
switch on spark is the best crowd control, but it slows the game a lot
So you mean equip breach and upgrade with crash?
I have passive Help atm
i think passive help is overrated, but play it how you want
i find passive help not that useful tbh? active help is great
most builds are viable
i think if you augment active help with spark you get two dogs
protip, you can control lunas in turn
I think it is overrated but i like tiny surprises š
if you like surprises go for passive load
add crash onto them and you have two dogs who can stun which is dope
passive load saved me in so many desperate situations
just poops out bombs at random
ping() augmented with switch() was really funny for a while
i had fun with it even if it probably wasn't the most powerful
i never really ran active ping, upgrade ping is alright most of the time
cheap sniping switch that you can spam on everything and watch the enemies kill each other
yeah, switch is always better on support than on active since it's the same effect plus you deal extra damage
basically you want a damage function, an aoe control function, and a get out function
active jaunt() always to play keep away during cooldowns
Awww cant post pics here
you can host them somewhere and link them
nope not that way
? i didnt know it did that
bad proxy
more backstab dmg
depends on your playstyle
breach(bounce) can be good if you can afford it
but yeah, you seem to have a fair loadout
yeah you dont have bounce equipped i think
also tips for gameplay: you can overflow your turn() planning potential. like even if you have just 1 point left you can fit a 100 point attack in the end
oww 1 memory short for bounce
this loadout is totally playable, you'll unlock more mems soon
also in turn() it's more efficient to travel using jaunt than to walk
ideally in turn() you want to attack, then jaunt away from the enemies
youve got dog for control, ping(switch) for control, and breach for dmg, so it's gonna be a pretty slow play
end turns as far away from them as possible
i wonder if youd be better served with Jaunt(mask)
bc jaunt is very important to you
youd be dealing even less dmg, but...
tbh dogs was fun for a while but i got tired of controlling three characters every turn after a while so i stopped using them
but in early game luna does decent damage. in later game they fall behind and are more of a distraction for enemies
yeah those trials with the randomized functions were the most intense challenges in the whole game imo
w h a t
oh right i remember i basically switched up my loadout every battle cause i was trying to unlock all the lore
oh don't worry about that those are optional
jugi's got help, they must have seen sandbox by now
if you're close to leveling, it could be worth doing trials to get some extra mems and functions
does anyone else reload to last save whenever you overload?
yeah......i did
i was considering doing a run where i dont do that
if i remember correctly, overload kills your highest mem function first, but always leaves you with at least one offensive function
so if you only carry one offensive function then it won't take away your best attacking option
I just overloaded but meh
i'm not sure if a non-offensive upgraded with damage dealing capabilities counts as damaging for the purpose of overloading though....
i refreshed cause it sucked if you were carrying like, cull and ping, then you overload and all you have left to do any damage is ping. might as well just die.
yeah a lot of builds are unplayable after 1 overload
but if you're gonna do a no reload playthrough you have to play around that and avoid those builds
i built around that in my first ||royce kill|| final boss spoilers
just make your most expensive off function not the one that you need to win
mhm
Just got purge()
the build that saved me was void (spark) and crash (purge+jaunt)
void comes later
i'd save turn with sparked void so i can just spam crash, and then i could still spam crash afterwards during recovery
did you take jaunt off active or did you have two?
i took jaunt off active and used it to upgrade crash
for me, having an offensive that i can use on recovery is better than jaunting
especially since it's crash so the enemies get stunlocked
Spark (purge) is great control
Jaunt as an upgrade is really nice to save yourself
But you gotta do it on something that slows enemies
aw ye
how is purge+crash+bounce?
purge will seek targets and deal dmg to them over time crash will stun them and bounce to repeat the process
Seems viable. Purge is kinda slow iirc, so might not be good for emergencies, but otherwise very nice
I didn't really experiment with the later tools as much as I should have
hold up i need to test something
aw
i am not allowed to upgrade help with two sparks
no 4 dogs
dang i've never paid attention to these posters https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/411630537397108747/569656009279406081/Screen_Shot_2019-04-21_at_6.46.58_PM.png
Yeah some of these posters are really pretty
I've got Red's poster on my wall. It's gorgeous
same!! i bought it for my dorm while i was in college, haha
I just want all the Transistor merch, but that takes $$$ ;w;
Ven I too have the Transistor Dorm Poster haha, it was the last one to complete my red and gold wall
I think I may have shared it here before
ooh that sounds aesthetic~
It is ahhh, let me see if I can pull it up again
...
I was not aware there was Transistor merch
gkjdfhgkdfj
i have those 
cuz the first thing everyone thinks when they see it in game is "mm let me get inside of that thing"
but 10/10 would buy
well i mean,
You kinda do go inside it ||and not to be freaky, but||
tbh if it had the kickass gold pattern id be down
also it could have the heart of the spine as a pillow ā¤
pssssst if u like gold patterns u should look up Gustav Klimt if u haven't yet
Turns out the guy in the sword was klimt the whole time
gustav??????
Or Mr. Klimt
OOOHH
this is the best transistor headcanon
His āThe Kissā piece looks remarkably like red and boxer haha
I do believe jen z used klimt works as an influence while working on transistor
Pretty sure she also said she loves his work
I legit considered buying a record player solely to have something to play the gorgeous transistor vinyls on.
I conned my friends into getting me one for my birthday last year
Good decision though, now nobody has to stress about what to get me for special occasions, they can just get records
Is there any chance at 2560x1440 resolution support for this game in the future? Just wondering...
ummm
there is a message "prepare yourselve"
i guess bossfight
the heck shall i do?
some crazy epic combo?
Select your best loadout for dealing damage while avoiding taken damage.
whatever you find most reliable
one tip I might put Bounce as a passive, that shield is very helpful here
it's a one-on-one fight, so you won't need the extra projectiles
I mean if he summoned hordes of stuff that'd be sick
Rip
i'll retry later
What even happens when you lose? I won first time with a sliver of health, never saw what happens.
nothing
you can retry
it asks you if you want limiters disabled
he won with 60 hp
SIXTY
dang
F
he had a bit of dialogue on your Game Over screen but that's about it
Most of the limiters don't apply to royce
I think realistically none of them should
But a harder fight is nice
Mem cut is rough
MADE IT
NICE
š
oh god
ok its not that bad
oh thats a lovely ending!
"Exit to shell" is exiting the game?
oh yes
Congratulations
I have just finished the game, he was awesome, thx for the free game on epic game, I really love it and I wish you a nice continuation
lol
sound effect mod pls
š
can you help me because when I try to open transistor it doesn't do anything
i dont have enough materials to finish my transistor pillow and i cant buy more!
oh no!
im actually pretty upset i spent too much money on mats already and i put in like 20 hours already
that sucks dude
just life i guess
maybe ill be able to scrap enough money with commissions and such. that is if my classmates would commission me
What's your commission info?
i dont actually have any since i cant sell online
Awe, that sucks...
:(
just noticed that if we saw cloudbank during the "day", we'd probably have something very close to solarpunk
https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*-ZgE2if0HOlR6Zym0aQJwg.jpeg
https://images.e-flux-systems.com/1496954377901.png,2000x2000
cloudbank doesnt really have the greenery
still, i wonder what it would look like if the camera was pointed the other way
instead of at the ground all day
Cloudbanks architecture doesn't really have a lot of curves, does it?
Technopunk doesn't usually
It's also art deco, which is all about straight lines and angles
Good evening, I would like to know why it is impossible to save on Transistor?
the game should autosave at checkpoints
you can also save by using access points, but theyāre not everywhere
I guess you could say theyre not always accessible 
Nice save
do they have this ready for ios
The game's been out for ios for a while, I thought
can confirm it has
is there a new version
not with the chick
i played the old one already
i seen a new commercial
with a guy
do you mean hades?
i think
yeah! thats a different game with a different setting
it isnt available for ios currently bc the game itself isnt finished yet!
I just wanted to say i love this game.
Thats all š
The only game i got ALL TEH achievements cause it was o much fun to get them
Thank you @haughty jetty ā glad you enjoyed it.
hell yea, i finally get to play transistor
ive been wanting to since its release but never got to it
but now im gonna have some fun
I... still have to finish Transistor 
i was going to buy it on my switch but thanks to epic games
i dont need to spend anything
š
now i just need to get bastion and pyre
bastion to replay and pyre cuz why not
Pyre is great 
i heard the story is amazingly told but gameplay is repetitive
it...begins to drag towards the end when there's not as many narrative threads left
you can always turn the difficulty up though
It should
hmmmm
oof, its not working for me
guess i just have to use my xbox one
nice, my other controller works
I am clearly not the only person who grabbed it the moment they saw it on Epic Games
How's it treating you? :')
I already completed it once, cried, fell in love with it, and started my second one
congrats! glad you're enjoying it, and welcome to the cry club
The music and art work will never get old
blushy sword...
sir I will inform you that this is a CHRISTIAN virtual reality
THAT'S IT. BACK TO THE COUNTRY WITH YOU.
That was beatiful end. š š š š š š š š š š š š š š š š š š š š š š š š š š
Now i must buy bastion and hades :p
I've played transistor multiple times on PC and now trying out again on Switch. What is your favorite way/build to play?
Biggest number possible (crash, void, mask, cull)
Help() and Switch() cause apparently I want to do as little work as possible
Spark (switch, purge) is the cheesiest and least fun way to win every encounter and I've got a love/hate for it
Bounce (spark flood) is very strong
Get on breach is just good dmg
ive played transistor so much that right now im just using the loadout for the most damage from a guide on steam whenever i replay it, because im just here for the story at this point
so i use void(purge,tap) with tap(breach,get)
Jaunt wit purge is amazing if your doing limiters because nothing can chase you and you can hit the shielded cells outside of turn
I donāt have 2 taps yet lol
i think i got every function twice on the third time playing so you can get there pretty quick if you want to
especially if youre playing with limiters, because i really didnt
my proudest transistor achievement is trying all the function combinations
https://i.imgur.com/uHlP2UO.jpg
all marked with a lil checkmark
That picture is so satisfying
I always use Jaunt( Purge ) and I feel lame for doing it ;_;
10 limiters basically requires you to have some way of doing damage outside of turn, and purge was the only one I could get to consistently hit cells in time
Also I was on mobile so that didnāt help
could someone explain the plot of transistor to me since im part way through ad very confused
since all that i got is that the comerada tried to take red's voice but her body guard died and is in the sword now
and the process is taking over the city
but red wants revenge
tahts what i got
but im still somewhat confused
That's just about everything until you get to Asher and Grant
ok
yeah tbh that's most of it
š
It's a lot to take in and think about, especially if you are completing the function data logs.
ok
im probaly just going to beat the game and fill the function data and then try to piece things together
transistorās not a game that explains a whole lot of stuff up-front, tbh
Thatās what makes it so interesting
it took me like, three playthroughs to fully "get" the story
and confession time I still haven't unlocked all the function data despite playing more than that, I'm so ashamed
if you have a good build and spare mem, you can easily run through the list of what you're missing without really having to make them work
still my fave sgg game to date š
Bro its so good
i have a like, pavlov response to paper boats
the first few notes play and it's like "oh i want to cry all of a sudden"
The OST is amazing
for some reason Blank Canvas gets me more than Paper Boats does
š®
i just beat transistor and damn was that game amazing
i honestly love the game
it looks and sounds great and the plot is great
Lotta people beating transistor these days... is it because it's free?
yea
but that ending tho
i wasnt expecting that
also i got a set that 1 shot one of royce's phases
i tried
That's what works, especially against him
i had chaos with the grenade buff, package with ping, and crash
so i just used chaos twice
and then set the package
and then crashed and it one shot literally everything
Which one is chaos?
the aoe defense and attack debuff
yea
The packages just come at random
that sounds fun
yea
since i use load as an active its nice to have ping so i can actually use crash to detonate
i just find it funny that i struggled with stuff up untill i got void
What'd you struggle with?
just dealing with the enemies
cuz they had soo much hp
and i couldnt find a way to deal good damage
and the dogs are annoying as all hell
Cull is the big damage
You need control options for dogs, for sure. Stuff like crash and purge, switch if you're desperate
i had like 2 active for the game
the double cell chance
and i forgot the other
but i used them if i could handle them
and i could only handle like 2
void(purge, tap) is incredibly powerful if you want to kill everyone and never die
ok
Actually while we're talking about good builds... what's get for
What does get do that's good
get good
i was trying to use it
sorry i actually have no idea i just wanted to say that
repositioning enemies if you're using short-range functions, pulling things into other things (packets?), you can put Switch() on it and pull a charmed ally close to defend yo
I seem to recall some of the super meta builds using upgraded Get() but I don't know how?
it;s a good passive bc it helps with stray cells
putting it on Void as an upgrade makes a little debuff black hole
would Load(get()) suck things into packages when they go off?
I Otta try this
It might suck after damage
I've never felt the need to attract stray cells tbh
never used it much except early in my first few playthroughs bc I was bad
https://twitter.com/PAMaster2/status/1071908145339936768
Switch() with spark() and help() is objectively the best combo because you make so many little friends, i dont make the rules
OK so Hades looks like it absolutely rules but can you do THIS in it yet? @SupergiantGames https://t.co/ld8CFRSSNT
I doubt that would work as well, due to the whole āunswitchableā thing
hmm, i never did try switching him
It doesnāt work at all
Bosses (sybil, spine, amd royce) are immune to switch
Are haircuts suspectible?
Yes
the cells don't really do damage
could be a useful meatshield to handle haircuts though
would make haircuts det unexpectedly
I tested it on Sybil fight but the cells didn't really do anything
other than make a hillarious ballpit, I assume
oh yeah it was hell on my framerate
but she still targets you and her charge attacks go right through
Hello developers have been playing Transistor I'm really enjoying it, but there is a bug (probably just on 21:9 screens ) that half the text shows up
https://twitter.com/JaccoSteenbrink for photo"s
21:9 , I've never heard of that ratio before O.o
its the same ratio as movies
21:9 or 12:9 ?
And 21:9 is just 7:3
;_;
Praise the Red
God, Boxer is so lucky to be able to just look at Red whenever he wants
Praise
Does Asher's cat have a name?
ahhh.......memories :'D
Hahahaha
C/dog_run.exe
I vote for Cat()
At that pic earlier all I can imagine is that screaming cowboy meme
Red can't scream so she just hums really loudly
[Hums intensify]
I'm just imagining extremely aggressive humming
HMMMMMMMM
- country music intensifies *
HMMMMMMMMM
it has to be a cat that repeats back everything you say
something something unix jokes
I just called her Mimi
compromise theory: all the characters in the game are virtual simulations EXCEPT for the cat, which is real and exists
no that's extra sad XD
it's okay, cats dont have theory of mind i think
The cat created Cloudbank
the cat is Cloudbank
Why is it you guys mention "The cat is real" and my mind jumps to shopcat from Invisible Inc?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxF-QQUsd24
Oh wait, I know why. One of the devs explained that she really is a cat who escaped from a Plastec conciousness lab, which also happens to be the same backstory we used in the Red mod.
I now entertain the thought of Asher's cat stealing all the trace functions and selling them on the black market.
š± Hello good sirrrrrr~ Would you leike to purrchaz an analogue to your mothers ashez? Bookmark and coffee maker, also makez brilliant filez! 100% bug free, 100% bugf- it's bugged.
Khajiit has wares if you have digital currency
Lol
Best game ever š
Royce's voice crossed the line of monotone right into kind of soothing
Tbh it pissed me off at first but it grew on me over time,
Yeah me too, my first impression was āman what a jerk, I canāt stand this guy,ā and my second time around was like āalright, keep talkingā
When i first got to the final showdown ||Inside the transistor|| and he said ||"who's first?,,, how 'bout... me."|| I felt even more trapped when he started actually using the ||Slowing time function||
(spoilers(?) blacked out )
#transistor is a spoiler friendly channel, talk about the final Royce fight as much as you like
tbh I wasn't sure what to expect for that fight, maybe like a wave fight of normal enemies, but nope. SG quite pleasingly subverted my expectations there. The closest thing we'd gotten to a one-on-one up until that point was the SYbil fight so the first time around it came entirely out of left field
Out of curiosity, is transistor anything like hades?
nooo not at all, but still fantastic stuff!!
Asked because ive seen a few people compare enemies from the two games before
It's a top down adventure with 32-directional animations and highly detailed environmental and character artwork, like Hades. But they feel very different to me.
good to know, thanks
I mean theyāre both in an isometric style but transistor is most definitely a strategy angle more than dungeon brawler
yeah that!
transistor is much more tactical than hades (because of the turn planning)
so it definitely has a different play experience
though supergiant definitely carries on some elements of their previous titles to their later games
they all have dogs
š®
I don't think there are dogs in Bastion, but there are does in every other SGG title 
Plus you get to listen to Impossible during that fight
To this day, that song still gets stuck in my head sometimes
royce....... trna......... goodt,
Royce... pretty...
royce bucket
Honestly though everyone in transistor is pretty, sgg really did well in that respect (and all the other respects, the game's very good)
in a german lit/art movement class i took last term we went over klimt and it was like. ah yes. the transistor man
AhahsjfjgmkykAhahsjfjgmkykabfn
It really do be like that huh
klimt just did SUCH a good job at emulating jen zee's style
MHM

falcon ron noises
moychtoishe
late to the royce party but "How about...me" is definitely high on the list for the best antagonist one liners
Honestly that whole fight is iconique
helpful ,,
3x void(crash, ping), 1x mask, then drop a cull
My favourite single-damage combo is 3x Void to debuff, stun with Crash, then backstab with Breach(Mask)
are you running passive bounce?
You can augment the void with crash so as to not waste turn() points
but itās my first SGG game so it has a special place in my heart
Tru
passive bounce and tap really come in handy with any longer fight in transistor
^
personally i would like to sic luna on him and absolutely destroy him
but thatās not how the world works unfortunately 
Bounce()passive is good. Remember to stack debuffs. Then hit him with something big. Remember you can move very slowly while he is using turn()
Most important thing: it is acually possible to get 2 turns in a row by using mask.
Dragging yourself out of alignment while his turn is progressing is handy, it can cause his shots to miss
Yeah tap() is good. Functions from later on in the story tend to be stronger
Royce is hard to dodge so the last fight is basically a damage check. You just have to out dps him. (or cheese it with mask()
Jokes on you I cheese every fight with mask()
@full monolith play it 

i was just playing transistor and me hearing asher's voice just made me just think thanatos
its weird
They sound almost the exact same
yea
I did not expect the huge difference in personality though
asher, hedwyn and thanatos all have the same VA
but they all have very different personalities :>
Asher and Hedwyn. Jeez.
haha yeah
They're dating lmao
I wonder if thanatos is going to have a somewhat non-mainstream love interest, because asher married a man old enough to be his father while interviewing retired old people and hedwyn fell in love with a bird person and kept pinning for her for years
Thanatos will fall in love with a very old bird person
Thanatos x Tisiphone?
Hedwyn's living the dream honestly
Whoa spoilers
I disliked Thanatos on sight so it was an unpleasant shock when I opened the game after that update and heard my boy Asher's voice
šŖ
Transistor is probably my favorite Supergiant Game they've made, I actually made a replica of the Transistor and brought it to a con once
The replica is pretty jank to be perfectly honest but it does light up to sound, I had an iPod shuffle that I could turn on and play lines from the game
:D
That's so cool! Do you still have any pictures?
I have it in my room
We'd love to see it, if you're willing to share it in #fan-works
ahh i saw this on the transistor subreddit as well earlier today
mfg, the vocal tracks are really good
im gonna listen to paper boats for like an hour
only an hour?
brave soul, I can't even manage the opening bars without openly weeping š
