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

magic pewter
#

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

@worldly garnet I've seen a similar interaction with Jaunt (purge, spark). It spawns a load of purge projectiles along with the spark ones.

#

The crit mechanic might have been left in the game accidentally, what with it only working for some functions

worldly garnet
#

It's possible, maybe I'll ask about it next q&a along with the poster text

frail fulcrum
#

I mean if it can go unnoticed by the community for so long, it can certainly slip past a busy development schedule

drifting timber
#

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?

shy veldt
#

This is fine but this implies that Royce is equivalent to Ursula and I’m Not Sure How I Feel About That

The first time I saw Transistor on stream, the dude called Red a "poor unfortunate soul"

#

Thought that was kinda funny

UM YES PLEASE???

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

Omg... please share if you find any sometime haha

#

Ah it’s 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

#

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

#

Zeal or Love phantom? šŸ˜›

#

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

sonic laurel
#

Okay so

#

Transistor was awesome. But why did Red do that?

#

I must not be understanding the entire story

calm jackal
#

Not to be a red apologist, but like, what were her other options

spring plover
#

"red apologist" gkdfjhgf

rare moth
#

APOLOGIST??

#

oh hat jfhvhjfhj

spring plover
#

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

rare moth
#

red has nothing to apologize for. the camerata on the other hand,

spring plover
#

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

drifting timber
#

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

calm jackal
#

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

old thicket
#

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

sonic laurel
#

this will prolly sound dumb

#

but didnt she have the voice in her head?

old thicket
#

the transistor's voice?

#

i suppose, but that's all she would have left of him. his voice

sonic laurel
#

thats true

calm jackal
#

Like, they all believe in an afterlife

still zealot
#

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

calm jackal
#

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

drifting timber
#

Actually, leading up to her death, she’s humming ā€œPaper Boatsā€ in the hummed version of the last area’s music

#

A fun and bittersweet fact

noble portal
#

I cannot listen to Blank Canvas to this day 😭

#

Oh no, I forgot about the hummed paper boats! shadegrief

#

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?

floral plank
#

I think Royce mentioned that when holding the transistor, you can hear voices of people you knew well.

shy veldt
#

Hey here’s a spicy Sad Take,
If that’s the case imagine Royce holding his transistor and listening to the voices of his Camerata friends going, ā€œWhy did this happen to us?ā€

noble portal
#

I mean... yeah

worldly garnet
#

Grant: .......okay so what did we learn?

still zealot
#

Sybil: "Guys I can explain"

rare moth
#

sybil: royce no offense but were all dead already and if its all the same to you im cheering for red

still zealot
#

Lmfao

worldly garnet
#

Sybil
reasons cited: thirst

floral plank
#

You're probably joking, but how did Royce find out about the voice thing? HMM?

calm jackal
#

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

floral plank
#

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?

noble portal
#

Sybil’s trace was never ā€œrecordedā€, though, you pick it up as ā€œintegratedā€ after the fight which to me suggests she’s 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

fading wharf
#

šŸ‘€ 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

spring plover
#

"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

fading wharf
#

ooohh

This made me play She Shines again ...

finite wigeon
#

Although i never really understood those lines... If Red's singing this, Who is the "she" talks about ? Cloudbank, Sybil, thƩ process, the transistor ?

sturdy gale
#

I imagine it’s the personification of the city itself

#

Or like the sky, considering they can change its color and such

finite wigeon
#

I understand it as the moon (or the Sun) of cloudbank, acting as an eye for the camerata

jaunty fable
#

my headcanon is that royce hears his own voice from the transistor bc he's egotistical like that

sturdy gale
#

He just hears the voice from the John Madden astronaut video

jaunty fable
#

oh no

wispy stratus
#

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

sturdy gale
#

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

wispy stratus
#

Transistor universe runs on rule of drama confirmed

floral plank
#

Well, I never understood why the Spine is called that

#

It looks more like a toothpick

jaunty fable
#

the spine has incredibly buff arms

finite wigeon
#

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 ?

wispy stratus
#

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

floral plank
#

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.

finite wigeon
#

Like the "man" Process doesn't look complete to me, maybe it's just the process mimicking human society, but actually got stopped halfway

wispy stratus
#

šŸ¤”

finite wigeon
#

Don't really know how to explain it, and again, i really need to play it again x)

wispy stratus
#

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

finite wigeon
#

We also might overthink it, trudat

wispy stratus
#

That is one third of the fun with this game

finite wigeon
#

Also true

(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)

noble portal
#

lol

magic pewter
#

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

finite wigeon
#

i wouldn't go so far as Red wanting the Camerata ded, but ye

floral plank
#

I want to support your view on Red's view on the city by pointing out that she studied architecture, and cancelled that altogether.

finite wigeon
#

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)

floral plank
#

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.

magic pewter
#

Tbh I didn't thought Asher was a bad guy you know

finite wigeon
#

Totally understandable

#

Weeeeell

#

Asher is more in a grey area in the end, but he agreed in the camerata's plan, sooooo

magic pewter
#

oh oh

finite wigeon
#

Up to each player deciding

magic pewter
#

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?

floral plank
#

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.

finite wigeon
#

Not really ? I think it's stated over the course of the game that it was planned to integrate her from the start

magic pewter
#

oh yeah I understand why Red was the target, my question was most directed to

#

why they threw it

finite wigeon
#

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

magic pewter
#

actually that“s a good idea

finite wigeon
#

its so sad though the camerata used the process for their own benefits and manipulating masses

#

The concept of Cloudbank was so cool

Theory/hypothesis about where Transistor takes place. Loads of spoilers, for both Transistor and another game called Soma.
||It’s 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 ā€˜hard reset’?
Or even differently, what if mankind are creating societies in a cloud server, out of random personalities and people that they create?||
My theory isn’t entirely complete or fully fleshed out because I haven’t played the game for a while and don’t have the most firm grasp on lore, but this is what I could come up with.
What do y’all think of this?

floral plank
#

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?

wispy stratus
#

I do have an issue with the giant spoiler tag game specific chats are spoiler safe šŸ˜›

stone shoal
#

it even says in the channel outline thingy "Spoilers are OK"

wispy stratus
#

Your theory does raise the question of where people go when they move to the country (or what the country even is)

stone shoal
#

so if you're here you're kinda expecting spoilers

surreal rock
#

A game theory vid on transistor would be... ā€œinterestingā€

wispy stratus
#

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

yeah, maybe hide the bit that’s specifically spoilers for a non transistor thing

Yeah edited now - theory preface now says ā€˜spoilers for Soma’.

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

shrewd root
#

It works for Hades, I would think Transistor would be the same but I haven't tried it myself

#

RE: Epic

spring plover
#

Transistor is in fact the same, yes

sour quail
#

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.

sour quail
#

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)

tropic niche
#

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

floral plank
#

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)

tropic niche
#

damn maybe it's my pc

#

got it

#

thank you

barren gazelle
#

hi!! just got transistor off epic games, when i tried starting it up it asks for authorization to use Command Prompt, is this normal?

spring plover
#

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\

barren gazelle
#

hmm doesnt work, game doesnt seem to want to start up from there

spring plover
#

That's odd! It should šŸ¤”

#

Maybe others have had a similar thing pop up?

humble sandal
#

i love this game

karmic crown
#

@barren gazelle Yes, that's normal! It means you don't have .NET installed, and the game will install it for you

barren gazelle
#

ohh okay!! thanks, was a little worried haha

muted lichen
#

can anyone answer a question

#

@weary heron

weary heron
#

hey there

muted lichen
#

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

sturdy gale
#

Unfortunately I believe ps4 storefront is separate from epic :(

weary heron
#

I don't believe so unfortunately, I think it is only free specifically on Epic's storefront

muted lichen
#

ok

wispy stratus
#

Try running it on pc anyway

muted lichen
#

pee pee dong rat

spring plover
#

It's not a super intensive game

wispy stratus
#

If all else fails you could borrow a friend's pc or something

sturdy gale
#

Yeah you can still pick it up free to play later even if it doesn’t run

wispy stratus
#

It only takes a day to play once

weary heron
#

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

shrewd root
#

It never hurts to accept free games!

#

Is anyone else having an issue seeing a cursor ingame?

wispy stratus
#

I don't recall having any such issue, but it's been a long time since I've played

peak crypt
#

well it did want to work correctly in windowed mode...

foggy fable
#

||so we can all agree that the transistor got stuck in someone at one point when the camerata was using it right||

calm jackal
#

spoiling events in the game is ok in game channels

#

no need to blot it out

sour quail
#

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)

full peak
#

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?

sour quail
#

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

full peak
#

it's funny how it was so hard for me to beat the second boss of the game

#

but not the final one

calm jackal
#

the final boss is easy/hard based on your playstyle

#

the spine still gives me trouble

jaunty fable
#

yeah some loadout combinations can cheese the whole game

sour quail
#

The Spine was the only time I got a Game Over screen, but the end of that fight was breathtaking

full peak
#

^

#

well actually

#

i used like cull plus void and mask on the last boss

#

which made it a walk in the park ngl

sour quail
#

Same, but I'm really bad at dodging and not getting hit, so I lost my void()

full peak
#

i didn't lose a single thing ;v

sour quail
#

;(

calm jackal
#

one time i beat him without dealing damage in turn at all

#

just using turn and mask to keep distance

jaunty fable
#

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

sour quail
#

You don't, augmenting with Jaunt lowers the cooldown from 10 seconds to 7

calm jackal
#

the way i ran it, the flow was mask -> attack -> turn move away -> mask

wispy stratus
#

@full peak Wait what was the most beautiful game then

full peak
#

Hollow Knight @wispy stratus

wispy stratus
#

GOOD CHOICE

full peak
#

I mean I had played Hollow Knight before 2019

#

But I revisited it in 2019

#

And beat it

noble portal
#

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

jaunty fable
#

if you put bounce() (shield) and tap() (double HP) on passive you can just tank a bunch of his turns without losing functions

calm jackal
#

yeah passive bounce is OP in the late game

#

i cant beat man without passive bounce + whichever one does the health regen

tawdry tendon
#

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

tiny parrot
#

... Weeell didn't expect that ending

#

||Sad ending||

calm jackal
#

Contact support, I don't think support pays too much attention here

#

Yeah, the ending is really surprising the first time around

serene grotto
#

Hi guys! I am a little bit confused over Functions and Upgrades. I’ve 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.

calm jackal
#

breach on crash is a great earlygame

#

switch on spark is the best crowd control, but it slows the game a lot

serene grotto
#

So you mean equip breach and upgrade with crash?

calm jackal
#

no, other way around

#

i like passive load, but passive bounce is so good lategame

serene grotto
#

I have passive Help atm

calm jackal
#

i think passive help is overrated, but play it how you want

jaunty fable
#

i find passive help not that useful tbh? active help is great

calm jackal
#

most builds are viable

jaunty fable
#

i think if you augment active help with spark you get two dogs

calm jackal
#

protip, you can control lunas in turn

serene grotto
#

I think it is overrated but i like tiny surprises šŸ˜„

calm jackal
#

if you like surprises go for passive load

jaunty fable
#

add crash onto them and you have two dogs who can stun which is dope

calm jackal
#

passive load saved me in so many desperate situations

#

just poops out bombs at random

jaunty fable
#

ping() augmented with switch() was really funny for a while

#

i had fun with it even if it probably wasn't the most powerful

calm jackal
#

i never really ran active ping, upgrade ping is alright most of the time

jaunty fable
#

cheap sniping switch that you can spam on everything and watch the enemies kill each other

calm jackal
#

i ran spark(switch) with same effect

#

i ran spark the whole game, it's instant aoe

jaunty fable
#

yeah, switch is always better on support than on active since it's the same effect plus you deal extra damage

calm jackal
#

basically you want a damage function, an aoe control function, and a get out function

jaunty fable
#

active jaunt() always to play keep away during cooldowns

serene grotto
#

Awww cant post pics here

calm jackal
#

you can host them somewhere and link them

serene grotto
#

nope not that way

calm jackal
#

? i didnt know it did that

jaunty fable
#

bad proxy

jaunty fable
#

spritz

#

what does mask upgrade do i forget

calm jackal
#

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

serene grotto
#

yeah i can swap out breach from help

#

what

#

no thats spark

calm jackal
#

yeah you dont have bounce equipped i think

jaunty fable
#

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

serene grotto
#

oww 1 memory short for bounce

calm jackal
#

this loadout is totally playable, you'll unlock more mems soon

jaunty fable
#

also in turn() it's more efficient to travel using jaunt than to walk

serene grotto
#

ok im gonna try it out

#

Thanks guys

jaunty fable
#

ideally in turn() you want to attack, then jaunt away from the enemies

calm jackal
#

youve got dog for control, ping(switch) for control, and breach for dmg, so it's gonna be a pretty slow play

jaunty fable
#

end turns as far away from them as possible

calm jackal
#

i wonder if youd be better served with Jaunt(mask)

#

bc jaunt is very important to you

#

youd be dealing even less dmg, but...

jaunty fable
#

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

calm jackal
#

the lategame really restricts your playstyle

#

but by then you have enough options

jaunty fable
#

yeah those trials with the randomized functions were the most intense challenges in the whole game imo

serene grotto
#

w h a t

jaunty fable
#

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

calm jackal
#

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?

jaunty fable
#

yeah......i did

calm jackal
#

i was considering doing a run where i dont do that

jaunty fable
#

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

serene grotto
#

I just overloaded but meh

jaunty fable
#

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.

calm jackal
#

yeah a lot of builds are unplayable after 1 overload

jaunty fable
#

but if you're gonna do a no reload playthrough you have to play around that and avoid those builds

calm jackal
#

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

jaunty fable
#

mhm

serene grotto
#

Just got purge()

twin summit
#

the build that saved me was void (spark) and crash (purge+jaunt)

jaunty fable
#

void comes later

twin summit
#

i'd save turn with sparked void so i can just spam crash, and then i could still spam crash afterwards during recovery

jaunty fable
#

did you take jaunt off active or did you have two?

twin summit
#

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

serene grotto
#

ok that purge is amazing

#

also switch is on my second passive

twin summit
#

especially since it's crash so the enemies get stunlocked

calm jackal
#

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

serene grotto
#

uhhh flood()

#

ok now im getting some really destructive tools

jaunty fable
#

aw ye

unique trail
#

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

calm jackal
#

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

jaunty fable
#

hold up i need to test something

#

aw

#

i am not allowed to upgrade help with two sparks

#

no 4 dogs

calm jackal
#

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

Good evening, I would like to know why it is impossible to save on Transistor?

calm jackal

the game should autosave at checkpoints

you can also save by using access points, but they’re not everywhere

#

I've played transistor multiple times on PC and now trying out again on Switch. What is your favorite way/build to play?

sour quail
#

Biggest number possible (crash, void, mask, cull)

serene igloo
#

Help() and Switch() cause apparently I want to do as little work as possible

calm jackal
#

Spark (switch, purge) is the cheesiest and least fun way to win every encounter and I've got a love/hate for it

worldly garnet
#

Bounce (spark flood) is very strong

surreal rock
#

Get on breach is just good dmg

cedar grove
#

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)

surreal rock
#

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 don’t have 2 taps yet lol

cedar grove
#

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

#

all marked with a lil checkmark

surreal rock
#

That picture is so satisfying

floral plank
#

I always use Jaunt( Purge ) and I feel lame for doing it ;_;

surreal rock
#

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 didn’t help

velvet jacinth
#

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

velvet jacinth
#

ok

noble portal
#

yeah tbh that's most of it

velvet jacinth

šŸ‘Œ

floral plank
#

It's a lot to take in and think about, especially if you are completing the function data logs.

velvet jacinth
#

ok

#

im probaly just going to beat the game and fill the function data and then try to piece things together

blissful blaze
#

transistor’s not a game that explains a whole lot of stuff up-front, tbh

grand peak
#

That’s what makes it so interesting

inland mirage
#

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

the aoe defense and attack debuff

calm jackal
#

Oh yeah, void

#

Void is pretty busted

velvet jacinth
#

yea

calm jackal
#

Load package is a lot of fun

#

Ever try running it as a passive? That's my secret

velvet jacinth
#

what does the passive do again

#

just interval sets of it??

calm jackal
#

The packages just come at random

velvet jacinth
#

that sounds fun

calm jackal
#

But always at the perfect time

#

Putting ping on it is probably worth it too

velvet jacinth
#

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

calm jackal
#

What'd you struggle with?

velvet jacinth
#

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

calm jackal
#

Cull is the big damage

#

You need control options for dogs, for sure. Stuff like crash and purge, switch if you're desperate

velvet jacinth
#

well im going to new game plus

#

so

#

i should be fine with my current build

calm jackal
#

Ng+ gives a good challenge

#

Give the limiters a try too if you haven't already

velvet jacinth
#

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

inland mirage
#

void(purge, tap) is incredibly powerful if you want to kill everyone and never die

calm jackal
#

Well, you'll only get better at the game

#

Look forward to your 10 limiter run

velvet jacinth
#

ok

calm jackal
#

Actually while we're talking about good builds... what's get for

#

What does get do that's good

spring plover
#

get good

velvet jacinth
#

i was trying to use it

spring plover
#

sorry i actually have no idea i just wanted to say that

noble portal
#

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

calm jackal
#

Get switch sounds neat, I've mostly run switch on aoes

#

Get (switch, bounce)???

noble portal
#

would Load(get()) suck things into packages when they go off?

calm jackal
#

I Otta try this

#

It might suck after damage

#

I've never felt the need to attract stray cells tbh

noble portal
#

never used it much except early in my first few playthroughs bc I was bad

worldly garnet
calm jackal
#

i wonder if this is like, viable

#

what happens if you do this to royce

grand peak
#

I doubt that would work as well, due to the whole ā€œunswitchableā€ thing

calm jackal
#

hmm, i never did try switching him

noble portal
#

It doesn’t work at all

sour quail
#

Bosses (sybil, spine, amd royce) are immune to switch

floral plank
#

Are haircuts suspectible?

sour quail
#

Yes

jaunty fable
#

the cells don't really do damage

#

could be a useful meatshield to handle haircuts though

calm jackal
#

would make haircuts det unexpectedly

jaunty fable
#

I tested it on Sybil fight but the cells didn't really do anything

noble portal
#

other than make a hillarious ballpit, I assume

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

floral plank
#

21:9 , I've never heard of that ratio before O.o

bright pewter
#

its the same ratio as movies

noble portal
#

21:9 or 12:9 ?

floral plank
#

21:9, you can see the photos on the link

#

12:9 is just 4:3

sour quail
#

And 21:9 is just 7:3

floral plank
#

oh right, that must be why I never heard of it before

jaunty fable
#

it has to be a cat that repeats back everything you say

#

something something unix jokes

noble portal
#

I just called her Mimi

calm jackal
#

compromise theory: all the characters in the game are virtual simulations EXCEPT for the cat, which is real and exists

noble portal
#

no that's extra sad XD

calm jackal
#

it's okay, cats dont have theory of mind i think

rugged palm
#

The cat created Cloudbank

noble portal
#

the cat is Cloudbank

#

Why is it you guys mention "The cat is real" and my mind jumps to shopcat from Invisible Inc?

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.

I still sometimes just listen to Royce's dialogue

#

It's just... enrapturing

near wagon
#

Royce's voice crossed the line of monotone right into kind of soothing

untold terrace
#

Tbh it pissed me off at first but it grew on me over time,

noble portal
#

Yeah me too, my first impression was ā€œman what a jerk, I can’t stand this guy,ā€ and my second time around was like ā€œalright, keep talkingā€

untold terrace
#

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 )

shy veldt
#

#transistor is a spoiler friendly channel, talk about the final Royce fight as much as you like

noble portal
#

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

celest falcon
#

Out of curiosity, is transistor anything like hades?

rare moth
#

nooo not at all, but still fantastic stuff!!

celest falcon
#

Asked because ive seen a few people compare enemies from the two games before

full peak
#

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.

celest falcon
#

good to know, thanks

sturdy gale
#

I mean they’re both in an isometric style but transistor is most definitely a strategy angle more than dungeon brawler

#

yeah that!

drifting timber
#

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

rare moth
#

they all have dogs

noble portal
#

😮

#

I don't think there are dogs in Bastion, but there are does in every other SGG title volfredthink

#

Plus you get to listen to Impossible during that fight

To this day, that song still gets stuck in my head sometimes

Honestly that whole fight is iconique

languid flume
#

a fight that i still cant beat

#

that’s what it is

noble portal
#

Aw, just void him into the ground

#

Then hit him with... anything really

languid flume
#

helpful ,,

sour quail
#

3x void(crash, ping), 1x mask, then drop a cull

noble portal
#

My favourite single-damage combo is 3x Void to debuff, stun with Crash, then backstab with Breach(Mask)

languid flume
#

but he always gets me first rooFeels

#

i sucked at the transistor battle system

calm jackal
#

are you running passive bounce?

sour quail
#

You can augment the void with crash so as to not waste turn() points

languid flume
#

but it’s my first SGG game so it has a special place in my heart

noble portal
#

Tru

calm jackal
#

passive bounce and tap really come in handy with any longer fight in transistor

noble portal
#

^

languid flume
#

personally i would like to sic luna on him and absolutely destroy him

#

but that’s not how the world works unfortunately rooFeels

grim current
#

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.

noble portal
#

Dragging yourself out of alignment while his turn is progressing is handy, it can cause his shots to miss

grim current
#

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()

sour quail
#

Jokes on you I cheese every fight with mask()

grim current
#

I cheese every fight with void(crash+get)

They sound almost the exact same

I did not expect the huge difference in personality though

but they all have very different personalities :>

Asher and Hedwyn. Jeez.

cedar grove
#

haha yeah

calm jackal
#

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

calm jackal
#

Thanatos will fall in love with a very old bird person

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
