Prolly

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

and the shipping was less than 20 dollars

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

Sonic Racing, Mariokart, and CTR are all on the same console

#

Think on that

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

this is really less than i expected

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

merry quest Jul 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

languid trail Jul 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

i'm still shaking

full peak Jul 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

I got the PS4 version because the box isn't red

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

This is my third time buying it

full peak Jul 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

But I wanted the switch one because I already have the ps4 version 😛

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

i thought this would be my fourth purchase until i remembered i also have it on mobile

full peak Jul 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

It's my 4th time buying this game

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

I've bought Cave Story like 6 times I think

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

#

PC PS4 Mobile and now this

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

soft pier Jul 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

languid trail Jul 5, 2019, 2:06 PM

soft pier Jul 5, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

I wonder if the LRG Switch titles will be worth something in the future

full peak Jul 5, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

I'm not

#

xD

keen karma Jul 5, 2019, 2:07 PM

Omggg

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

yeah, i put two calendar notifications in for this

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

I hope the ring isn't made out of plastic

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

it isnt

haughty berry Jul 5, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

I can't believe I got one!!! I'm so hyped

keen karma Jul 5, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

it's metal iirc

bitter ether Jul 5, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

they posted a video of it

#

it looked nice

stone shoal Jul 5, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

^^^

bitter ether Jul 5, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

if it looked like it would fit me, I 100% would of grabbed the SE

#

but I have skinny witch fingers

#

or yaoi hands, take your pick

keen karma Jul 5, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

there's no life-sized replica of the Transistor in the edition smh

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

oh, the ring is basically why it costed 80

bitter ether Jul 5, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

Man I wanna build a transistor but idk how lighting stuff works

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

omg there is only 9 left for switch already xD

keen karma Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

Which is strange because Red doesn't have the biggest fingers lmao

bitter ether Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

some guy made his lights react with lines that Mr Nobody said and omg it was gaooools

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

i don't think the ring will fit me but it will look nice in a case or something i think

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

make that sold out

keen karma Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

Nice

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

Switch Collectors is sold out xD

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

Switch CE sold out

outer kiln Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

I'm kinda sad there isn't a red or transistor statue instead of the ring

languid trail Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

ten minutes wow

outer kiln Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

still bought it tho

tiny lake Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

Is the ring gonna be the type to go brown

glacial quiver Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

Omg I’m so happy I secured mine 🙏

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

kind of slow

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

@outer kiln you can still buy a red statue in the sgg store though!

dusky matrix Jul 5, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

Sold out in 10 minutes?
<Whew>

bitter ether Jul 5, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

Nah, the ring looked pretty decent quality

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

as expected switch sold out first

manic lava Jul 5, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

im so glad i got up early

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

Celeste and Va11 HallA sold out like immediately

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

oh yeah i missed va-11 hall-a and i'm v sad

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

I love my red statue xD

soft pier Jul 5, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

the video lrg posted was low quality so i honestly can't tell if it looks like painted plastic or if it's actually nice

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

Switch Va11 Hall A though!!

#

Someone commented that its Resin

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

@soft pier it's metal

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

Yeah got the celeste pc collectors back in february too

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

The paint will come off if worn for long periods

sturdy gale Jul 5, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

didn’t even know they fade va11halla

dusky matrix Jul 5, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

PS4 CE of Transistor is still available!

tiny lake Jul 5, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

Didnt limited run say they were gonna do a physical release for va11halla on switch 😱

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

not sure

#

But more than likely

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

ps4 Collectiors edition is still avaible

full peak Jul 5, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

No PC collectors edition? 😔

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

Momodora had a Switch CE a while ago,

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

ps4 ships a few weeks before switch in case anyone was wondering!!

bitter ether Jul 5, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

I'm too poor dont tease XD

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

according to the site at least

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

PS4 version came out like last year

tiny lake Jul 5, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

so keeeen 😍

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

10 PS4 CE left

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

I got the psychonauts collectors for ps4 but i definitely considered the momodora it was a great game i enjoyed playin

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

7 now

dusky matrix Jul 5, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

Boom goes the dynamite. Gone.

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

yeah they went fast lol

tiny lake Jul 5, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

13 mins damm

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

define fast?

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

pax east 3-days (when those still existed) fast

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

10 copies in a couple of seconds fast

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

They both sold out never seen them sell out this quick on limited run

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

Celeste

#

😢

dusky matrix Jul 5, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

"Define fast?"

Less time than an ICBM launched from Moscow to reach New York City...

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

wow, that's fast

drifting terrace Jul 5, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

nooooo

#

sold out

soft pier Jul 5, 2019, 2:15 PM

#

their july 5th mega-bundle isn't marked as sold out, though, so i guess if someone missed it and can't do the later launch they can slap down the $320 for the bundle

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:15 PM

#

anyway, if anyone here missed it, the second batch is in a couple of hours! dont worry!

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:15 PM

#

EVERYTHING!!

#

Regular versions are open pre-order

sturdy gale Jul 5, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

I imagine the game only is still up too but idk

#

Who Knows

dusky matrix Jul 5, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

Yes, there will be a second batch which opens at 6 EST iirc.

According to Limited Run's website:
70% is sold in the 1st batch.
30% is sold in the 2nd batch.

wintry verge Jul 5, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

hold on how many copies were in that batch

#

whayt thhez k

tiny lake Jul 5, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

2500??

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

Just think, 20+ years from now, LRG games are gonna be worth maybe something?

manic lava Jul 5, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

2000 i think?

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

there was 1500 in the ps4 batch this time

wintry verge Jul 5, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

wow

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

so i guess 500 in next batch?

manic lava Jul 5, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

Only 4,000 copies will be printed i believe it's 4000 overall, so 2000 for each

dusky matrix Jul 5, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

Nintendo Switch CE is limited to 2,500 copies.
PS4 CE is limited to 1,500 copies.

sturdy gale Jul 5, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

@tight swallow I think a lot of the value placed on these aren’t gonna go up in the long term but idk

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

yeah,

sturdy gale Jul 5, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

Specifically if the consoles get replaced

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

the most obscure stuff somehow gets pricey in the future

stone shoal Jul 5, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

So based on this
1250 and 750 for the next batches assuming 50/50 split

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

i.e., physical copies of indie games

dusky matrix Jul 5, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

I have zero intention of selling the CEs. I bought them to own and pass on to my not-yet-born children.

sturdy gale Jul 5, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

That’s fair, time will tell. In the meantime you’ve got a super rad game

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

again

wintry verge Jul 5, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

i thought it'd all go in like a couple hours not like Thirteen Minutes

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

I wished they used different posters though

drifting terrace Jul 5, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

to be fair, I wanted to get it for the merch, not for the game, I already have multiple copies as it is shadeohboy

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

I think all of us already own the game

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

xD

drifting terrace Jul 5, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

😄

rare moth Jul 5, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

ppl are like so hyped from speedrunning from gdq they need to speedrun a sale too

sturdy gale Jul 5, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

not for switch yet, which is exciting

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

well, this is normal for LRG

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

Yep have it here on both the steam and epic store :> and now on ps4 :>

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

they typically sell out faster actually

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

actually let me check how many times i have bought transistor

drifting terrace Jul 5, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

or should I say, I want the ring

#

Epic, Steam, GOG

timid crystal Jul 5, 2019, 2:21 PM

#

I want the collectors addition for switch personally. I already have it for Steam, but I don't care. It's worth buying again lol

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:21 PM

#

second batch is 6pm EST

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:21 PM

#

My back log of games order are now, Celeste(Switch), Celeste CE (PC), Skullgirls (Switch), Momodora (Switch), and now Transistor (switch)

#

I think my gf will probably get me the CE of Catherine

timid crystal Jul 5, 2019, 2:22 PM

#

I really hope I can get away with purchasing it at work, so long as it doesn't sell out by that time.

#

This batch already sold out pretty fast

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:23 PM

#

My back log of orders: Bastion(Ps vita), Transistor CE (ps4), Psychonauts CE(ps4) and Celeste CE(PC)

languid trail Jul 5, 2019, 2:23 PM

#

i'm throwing good luck vibes at you

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:23 PM

#

Bastion?

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:23 PM

#

Yep bastion went on sale last year

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

I got the PS4 version, but I got that like months ago

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

Oh you meant the stuff you waiting for

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

ok i bought it 4 times on steam (1 for myself and 3 for friends), i own it on epic bc it was free and now i preordered it for ps4 from limited run

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

free?

#

it probably expired

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

i just meant all the stuff i bought on LRG

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

expired?

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

Epic does free weekend type stuff

timid crystal Jul 5, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

How fast did the Bastion one sell? And how many copies were printed?

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

all the free games epic gave out are free to keep

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

Yeah transistor was free for a week like 2 months ago

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:25 PM

#

not sure, I think SGG sells them on their website though

#

I remember when Thimbleweed Park was free, then it wasn't

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:25 PM

#

yeah, if you grabbed it then, it stays in your library forever

#

but you cant grab it for free after that

prime flint Jul 5, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

overcooked is the game that is free rn

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

i missed last day of june but its fine bc i already played it on steam lol

drifting terrace Jul 5, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

Epic has one free game for 2 weeks, then goes on to the next one

timid crystal Jul 5, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

It really has me anxious to know I might get robbed of my opportunity to own a collectors edition of my #1 favorite game.

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

anyway yeah there are some copies left of bastion for psvita and ps4 on the supergiant store: https://store.supergiantgames.com/

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

if anyone is interested. also some sick merch ofc that isnt that limited, including the posters that are in the CE in a bigger version.

#

not reversible tho

tiny lake Jul 5, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

@timid crystal set an alarm and schedule a toilet break at work if that's possible 😱

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

What if your favorite game never got a CE?

#

but it gets ported nearly everywhere

#

😢

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

one of my favorite games got ported nearly everywhere and it does have a ce lol but i missed it

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

Cave Story?

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

bc it went up before i played it

#

thumper

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

ah

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

~~its very good, buy it this steam sale~~

timid crystal Jul 5, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

How fast did this first batch sell? Just so I'm aware

bitter ether Jul 5, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

I got the bigger poster and it’s so lovely

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

13 min

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:29 PM

#

~~or everywhere else sale~~

tiny lake Jul 5, 2019, 2:29 PM

#

13 minutes

timid crystal Jul 5, 2019, 2:29 PM

#

Alright, then there's a chance

tiny lake Jul 5, 2019, 2:29 PM

#

But there were more copies this round than the next one

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:29 PM

#

2nd batch is smaller, yeah, so be speedy

#

again, if you create a LRG account and enter your address, checkout will go faster

timid crystal Jul 5, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

How hard is it to purchase via mobile?

obtuse bay Jul 5, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

Super easy

tiny lake Jul 5, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

Not v hard!! I did it in a minute

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

i assume its slower because of typing, but if ur on mobile def do the address thing

soft pier Jul 5, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

depends on your internet speed but shouldn't be bad

keen karma Jul 5, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

Paypal's pretty fast as well, that's what I did. Literally just checking out, logging in to Paypal, then setting the delivery method and it's done

tiny lake Jul 5, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

Chrome has my address saved so whenever I fill in a form it does it automatically

keen karma Jul 5, 2019, 2:31 PM

#

If you wanna go full speed with Paypal just copy your password into your clipboard so you don't have to type it

keen plank Jul 5, 2019, 2:31 PM

#

So with the second run is it going to come out right on 6? Like there’s no chance it’ll be early right?

dusky matrix Jul 5, 2019, 2:31 PM

#

For those who will try to snag a copy at 6 PM EST, I think you'll have at least 5 minutes to snag a copy. I wish you luck.

#

@keen plank
No, I don't think there will be a breach. I read Limited Run's rules. It seems LR adheres strictly to its policies.

keen plank Jul 5, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

Sounds good, 6 on the dot and a lot of hope

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

good luck!

#

man this is the most active this channel has been probably ever haha

keen plank Jul 5, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

Thanks ahah, I want the switch version but if I get the PS4 I’m fine with it, I can give the physical copy to a friend lmao

#

And sadly probably the most active it ever will be but hey it’s something

timid crystal Jul 5, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

Well it's likely going to sell out really fast this next batch considering how it's later in the day. It would seem late enough in the day for people on the west coast.

#

I wish it didn't have to be this limited... ;_;

#

It's so much pressure

keen plank Jul 5, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

Ikr ahah

wary stirrup Jul 5, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

at least some people will make a bunch of money reselling them :|

timid crystal Jul 5, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

Lol...

narrow rain Jul 5, 2019, 2:46 PM

#

God! I'm late to buy CE Edition

#

cryanima

bitter ether Jul 5, 2019, 2:46 PM

#

They posted the ring on their Instagram if anyone is still curious

shy lava Jul 5, 2019, 3:02 PM

#

All sold out CE's!!

#

Amazing, so happy the fanbase is this active still. I am glad I got to order a CE too

narrow rain Jul 5, 2019, 3:04 PM

#

Any chance to get Switch Limited Run #39: Transistor Collector's Edition?

#

Or not anymore

knotty kettle Jul 5, 2019, 3:05 PM

I’m so upset I missed it, I got the time zone wrong and didn’t get a chance to order the CE. I love this game so much and I can’t believe I made such a stupid mistake.

spring plover Jul 5, 2019, 3:07 PM

#

There's a second batch going on sale later today!

stone shoal Jul 5, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

6pm (insert time zone here I forget)

knotty kettle Jul 5, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

I really hope I can get one. And I wish it wasn’t this limited, it is my favorite game of all time and means a lot to me and to my boyfriend, I’m going to be devastated if I can’t get a copy of the CE and I know I’m not the only person who feels that way.

stone shoal Jul 5, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

Aka 8 hours after the first batch

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

EST

manic lava Jul 5, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

it's 6 pm EDT

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

Yep!

manic lava Jul 5, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

hat

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

hat indeed

#

yeah, usually for these kinds of promotions, you need to be online when the sale starts

#

the first batch sold out in 15 minutes, so i'd imagine the second will also sell out as quickly

knotty kettle Jul 5, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

Thanks for the info everyone

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

np! good luck!

I bought the switch thing

#

yolo

tight swallow Jul 5, 2019, 3:17 PM

#

Second batch might sell slower actually

pliant void Jul 5, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

I hope the second batch sells slower, I was at work when the first batch went up

shrewd sluice Jul 5, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

Same, I had to hide in the bathroom to get mine haha

pliant void Jul 5, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

They do ship internationally, right?

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

mhm

#

int. shipping was 18 dollars for me, if its helpful to anyone

pliant void Jul 5, 2019, 3:44 PM

#

Oh good, I can justify it as a Birthday Present To Myself given the time for it to arrive!

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 3:44 PM

#

nice!

compact laurel Jul 5, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

Just finished work and bought a standard copy, how fast did the CE sell?

sturdy gale Jul 5, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

13 minutes lol

#

truth be told I expect the later batch to sell at the same rate

compact laurel Jul 5, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

😳 I’m suddenly feeling a lot less confident about getting a CE tonight

pliant void Jul 5, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

Yup, fingers crossed and an eye on the countdown

compact laurel Jul 5, 2019, 3:48 PM

#

That is now my plan

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

wait ur buying both a standard copy and a CE?? woah

pliant void Jul 5, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

No no, just the CE. If I don't get it then oh well

#

But I'm gonna try

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

nono i meant portal mania

pliant void Jul 5, 2019, 3:56 PM

Whoops! My bad, I should really get some tea in me

compact abyss Jul 5, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

Guys, is there photos of Red's ring in this new edition for reference? I mean exept official instagram.

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

I just saw that there's not limit to how many people can buy so i'm nervous there will be a lot of reselling at higher prices 😦

blissful blaze Jul 5, 2019, 4:20 PM

god i am so hype for that ring

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 4:21 PM

#

idk, i personally think 6pm might sell faster. 10 est is 7am on the west coast, so more people will be awake states-side then

#

in any case, i’d recommend having the page up and ready to go!

devout bane Jul 5, 2019, 4:21 PM

tizomg

spare kernel Jul 5, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

Okay so just to confirm cause I'm a little confused by this: 6 PM EDT is the same as 6 PM EST?

manic lava Jul 5, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

yes

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

Yep

devout bane Jul 5, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

I'm surpised I got one actually forgot

spare kernel Jul 5, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

Okay. I'm a little worried how fast these sold out.

devout bane Jul 5, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

But coincidentally woke up at 6:50

#

And got the notification

#

uwu

manic lava Jul 5, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

my garbage body usually makes me sleep for like 10 hrs but today it was like Must Have Viddy Gaem

#

so i also woke up at 6:50

spare kernel Jul 5, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

I work during 6 PM. I'm gonna have to use personal time to preorder it.

devout bane Jul 5, 2019, 4:24 PM

good luck

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 4:24 PM

#

i hope all of you get it in the next wave!!

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

i just want the pins and the coasters 😢

#

fingers crossed for all!

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

i’m honestly so excited about the coasters

manic lava Jul 5, 2019, 4:25 PM

the coasters look excellent

compact abyss Jul 5, 2019, 4:27 PM

@blissful blaze Thanks man

Oh, I find it nice that I can upgrade my previous cardboard case OST with a proper jewel case now

It will!

Haha I'm afraid to use the coasters because I want them to stay perfect

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

ha that was me with the socks

#

so i bought 2 sets lmao

shrewd sluice Jul 5, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

Much as I love the idea I don't think I can spend another $80 lmao

spare kernel Jul 5, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

there's no limited run app is there?

shrewd sluice Jul 5, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

Besides, not fair to the people who don't have one huh

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

you can buy multiple though 🤷

#

pricy too though

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

i’m honestly surprised there’s no limit at check out

merry quest Jul 5, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

Will we hear updates from you guys as the process goes for when we might receive these physical editions?

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

the store pages for each version have estimated shipping dates!

hoary marsh Jul 5, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

Limited Run is generally transparent about the manufacturing and shipping process, yeah!

manic lava Jul 5, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

switch is apparently likely to be october

shrewd sluice Jul 5, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

Hmmm... I might have moved by then. Could I change my address later do you think?

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

ship it to a friend!

weak vigil Jul 5, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

So uhh anyone know how long it took to sell out, because I'm going to be watching a movie that in theory stops just before they start selling. But prerun ads exist

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

I believe you should’ve gotten an email that explains how to change your address

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

minutes probs

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

if you ordered I mean

#

15 minutes approximately

weak vigil Jul 5, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

ouch, guess I'm gonna have to get the webpage preloaded on my phone

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

yeah, that’s what i did

manic lava Jul 5, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

@shrewd sluice my receipt emsil gives a link to a form to fill out if one's address changes

shrewd sluice Jul 5, 2019, 4:45 PM

70% of 2,500 Switch CE units sold out in 10 minutes.
70% of 1,500 PS4 CE units sold out in 13 mins.

rapid crane Jul 5, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

ah heck, how limited are these exactly? I missed that first batch

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

yeah, overall both sold out completely in about 15

#

i think 4000 copies total?

#

second half goes up later

rapid crane Jul 5, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

damn, I hope I can snag one these look beautiful

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

good luck!

#

the secret is just waiting out the countdown, open the page 10 mins early and just wait to order immediately ig

#

also creating a lrg account and saving your address so you can check out quicker

inland mirage Jul 5, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

heck I want collector's but don't have the money

those coasters are very nice though!

pliant void Jul 5, 2019, 5:10 PM

Those enamel pins do look so good

15 minutes isn't bad

remember fata morgana sold out in literal seconds

cedar grove Jul 5, 2019, 8:51 PM

reminder that batch 2 starts in about an hour!!!

#

an hour and 10 minutes, but that is a good time to wait on the page

#

gl everyone!

compact laurel Jul 5, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

Hey butterfly, to answer why I’m buying both, I got my bonus today so I can afford it, also because I missed the bastion physical copy so I wanted to make sure I at least got the game this time

frank minnow Jul 5, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

You know, I didn't even know Red had a ring until the CE said it came with her ring

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

15 minutes is still pretty quick though. luckily it at least seemed like there was no slowdown on the site when the first batch went up.

frank minnow Jul 5, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

Do I need to refresh the page when it hits 5, or does it automatically unlock?

drifting timber Jul 5, 2019, 9:18 PM

i needed to refresh

#

but the refresh was pretty snappy

frank minnow Jul 5, 2019, 9:18 PM

its too bad the CE doesn't come with the vinyl of the OST, but I'll live

dusky matrix Jul 5, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

Unless I'm mistaken, everyone who was here for the 11 AM EAST 1st batch got at least one copy.

I want to believe that will continue into the 2nd batch.

knotty kettle Jul 5, 2019, 9:51 PM

I hope so! I’m honestly surprised there isn’t a limit per person

i hope i can grab mine

frank minnow Jul 5, 2019, 9:52 PM

You can bet 100% you'll see these being sold for $1000 in a few months

compact laurel Jul 5, 2019, 9:52 PM

Almost certainly pelton

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 9:53 PM

sadly 😦

#

hopefully we can get a CE also for Pyre. I REALLY want pins for all the parties

knotty kettle Jul 5, 2019, 9:53 PM

Ooh that would be cool

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 9:53 PM

i actually didn't realize the 2 pins were so close either for Transistor

compact laurel Jul 5, 2019, 9:54 PM

knotty kettle Jul 5, 2019, 9:55 PM

I don’t get how people are like that, also PayPal makes it faster

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

ahh check you're logged in

#

i got logged out from this morning

knotty kettle Jul 5, 2019, 9:56 PM

I think they also have amazon pay options

frank minnow Jul 5, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

you're able to choose which card you pay with through paypal, right?

#

I have 2 linked and I dont want to use my primary card

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

yeah you should be able to

knotty kettle Jul 5, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

It will go with your default but yes it should take you through that?

native root Jul 5, 2019, 9:57 PM

oohhhh.... boiiii... I'm scared it will be sold in a second 😄

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 9:57 PM

that was a really stupid financial decision on my part, but no regrets

Transistor is never a stupid decision

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 10:05 PM

exactly

#

i was dying to get it for the switch already so i'm hyped

frank minnow Jul 5, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

im curious if its going to sell out faster or slower this time

compact laurel Jul 5, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

It occurs to me that I just spent £118 on both a standard copy and a CE

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

still available

#

7 min in

compact laurel Jul 5, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

But I got a bonus today so it’s not that bad

dusky matrix Jul 5, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

7 minutes in and there's still more available. (I'm curious to find out when the page is deactivated. In the first batch, the Switch CE sold out in 10 minutes while the PS4 CE sold out in 13 minutes.)

hollow yacht Jul 5, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

I got switch game and PS4 CE since I like how the art on it isn’t interrupted by Switch red spine.

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

how so?

frank minnow Jul 5, 2019, 10:08 PM

yeah, makes me sad that the switch box isnt as pretty as the ps4 one

dusky matrix Jul 5, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

By my watch, it took 9 minutes plus change for the Switch CE to sell out.

hollow yacht Jul 5, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

FPO the switch box art is different than PS4

loud mason Jul 5, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

ohhh i see what the switch did. yeah the ps4 case is nicer

dusky matrix Jul 5, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

However, this time around the 2nd batch was only 30% of the entire Switch allotment of 2,500 CE units.

hollow yacht Jul 5, 2019, 10:10 PM

Why do I love this game so much? Why is Supergiant so awesome? Idk. All I know is take my money please.

took a lil longer for ps4 this time

dusky matrix Jul 5, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

By my watch, it sold out as the clock turned to 15.

#

Awesome. Now we wait...

hollow yacht Jul 5, 2019, 10:21 PM

It’s sad for me to think that someone who wanted one was the 4001th and missed out 😆

yeaaah

boreal adder Jul 5, 2019, 10:28 PM

I want to buy the physical version for PS4 but I’m broke ;-;

god i was watching the clock count down in horrible anxiety djghhdksfj

#

stressful!

opal oak Jul 6, 2019, 1:09 AM

I slept through my alarm and mised out on the collectors edition. Ahhhhhhhh

blissful blaze Jul 6, 2019, 1:10 AM

opal oak Jul 6, 2019, 1:11 AM

#

rip indeed. I don't even remember turning it off

manic lava Jul 6, 2019, 1:12 AM

#

absolute tragedy

opal oak Jul 6, 2019, 1:14 AM

#

I was already planning where I'd put the posters

#

Ah well, if missing out on a game I already own is the biggest of my issues then I really don't have much to complain about

cedar grove Jul 6, 2019, 1:23 AM

#

@opal oak if the poster happen to be the main reason you wanted the CE, you’re in luck, because they’re available individually in supergiant’s store

#

the box art poster is a bigger size tho

opal oak Jul 6, 2019, 1:24 AM

#

Yeah I have that open right now :) I was super keen for all of it though, I'm a big fan of pins

cedar grove Jul 6, 2019, 1:24 AM

#

I’m sorry you didn’t wake up in time tho :( happened to me before, I turned off alarms without remembering or set them to PM when they should’ve been AM or vice versa

opal oak Jul 6, 2019, 1:24 AM

#

I definitely think I'll snag a poster or two anyway

cedar grove Jul 6, 2019, 1:24 AM

#

same, it’s like 40% of the reason I HAD to have it

opal oak Jul 6, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

Yeah I live in Australia so it was at like 7am for me

blissful blaze Jul 6, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

i have absolutely set alarms for like 4am instead of 4pm when trying to take a nap, forgotten about it, and then given myself an Awful Surprise later on

cedar grove Jul 6, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

oh dang... I got lucky with it being evening for me...

blissful blaze Jul 6, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

see, the real pro strat is to own neither of the consoles that the release is for

#

so you get to wave at the pre-order as it passes you by.

cedar grove Jul 6, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

or afternoon rather, and second batch on 1 am which I was awake for anyway bc my sleep schedule sux

#

i.... I don’t own any of the consoles the release is for....

blissful blaze Jul 6, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

valid

cedar grove Jul 6, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

I just wanted that ring and the pins SO BAD

#

I hope it fits my finger

blissful blaze Jul 6, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

man, the pins would've been the main tempter for me

#

i have nowhere to put the posters because my room legit is not big enough

cedar grove Jul 6, 2019, 1:28 AM

#

I have no excuse to Not cosplay red now

blissful blaze Jul 6, 2019, 1:28 AM

#

i don't wear jewelry but how cool would it be to wear the ring on a lil chain or a cord or something instead

cedar grove Jul 6, 2019, 1:29 AM

#

I told myself I’d frame and and hang the posters when I move and my room is slightly bigger now but also more windows so less wall space. Big F

opal oak Jul 6, 2019, 1:32 AM

#

I have a friend who works in a printing company and I get them to Matte laminate posters for me

#

It's like regular laminating but with no sheen

#

More expensive but it's worth it

loud sable Jul 6, 2019, 2:31 AM

#

is the laminate uv resistant?

#

would be a nice touch

loud mason Jul 6, 2019, 2:36 AM

#

i was actually considering the PS4 version because of how the Transistor's voice comes out of the controller

#

it's such a dumb little mechanic that adds tons to the experience

#

but then again the switch is just too good

loud sable Jul 6, 2019, 2:37 AM

#

ngl I forgot the ps4 controller has a speaker til now

loud mason Jul 6, 2019, 2:38 AM

#

no one uses it well so it's forgotten

#

but even the light on the controller glows like the sword when the voice comes out

#

it's like you're holding the transistor... just less heavy LMAO

loud sable Jul 6, 2019, 2:44 AM

#

Maybe transistor is light as a feather...

#

after all, a tonne of feathers is lighter than a tonne of steel

calm jackal Jul 6, 2019, 2:45 AM

#

read some fanon that suggested that the transistor is as heavy as your feelings around it are

#

alternately, royce is buff as hekk considering how he hefts it around

loud sable Jul 6, 2019, 2:46 AM

#

misty sparrow Jul 6, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

Any chance someone here picked up an extra copy they're willing to sell? Totally get if not, I just see the limited games site lists that there's wasn't a limit on how many you could buy.

calm jackal Jul 6, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

There's probably scalpers for this, check ebay?

obtuse bay Jul 6, 2019, 4:29 AM

#

I just got the one copy for the PS4

#

Sorry

misty sparrow Jul 6, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

Yup scalper has 6 of them for $220 :/

spare kernel Jul 6, 2019, 4:33 AM

#

That's so messed up, I don't get why Limited run would let you buy more than one or two.

misty sparrow Jul 6, 2019, 4:35 AM

#

2.6 times the price, but I guess to be fair it's the only way I'm going to get one. They probably make a pretty good argument that way

#

They being the scalper

spare kernel Jul 6, 2019, 4:36 AM

#

I feel like Supergiant has to realize the hype behind this release. They may choose to run another batch of these at some point.

#

Like, sadly, yeah, you may want to save the ebay listing, but I'd give it a couple weeks before purchasing.

misty sparrow Jul 6, 2019, 4:40 AM

#

Kk. I know this is really really dumb and I feel hella immature, but I cried when I realized is missed out on it. Like I know it's just a fancy edition of a game I already own, but that's how excited I was for it and how much I love the game. I realize I could have come up with a plan like have a friend/family buy it while I was busy/àsleep, but hindsight is 20/20 :/

opal oak Jul 6, 2019, 4:41 AM

#

My plan was set an alarm and I slept through it XD

#

Oof the Ebay listings are so expensive

#

Also I live in Australia so would need to pay like 50 dollars postage

spare kernel Jul 6, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

I actually was in a meeting with my manager when 6 pm hit. I told him "I've got something important to do, brb" and went out into our lobby to buy it. That's how dedicated I was to making sure I got one so I totally get how you feel @misty sparrow. Maybe Supergiant will have a talk with LR and go for another batch.

#

What I may suggest is, if absolutely NOTHING else, open up a Paypal Credit, and purchase it off the scalpers with that. That way, you have 6 months to pay for the whole thing. Not the best option, especially since you're opening a credit line, but atleast It's not such a financial burden all at once.

#

What I hope happens is that LR just cancels all the orders past 2.

misty sparrow Jul 6, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

Anyone see how fast they sold out? Like did it take a few hours per patch or was it more like minutes?

opal oak Jul 6, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

When I woke up 4 hours after release they were gone. That's my only reference point

spare kernel Jul 6, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

They sold out in MINUTES.

#

The first batch was apparently 11~ mins.

#

The 2nd, with the ps4 being the last to sell, took about 15 mins~

misty sparrow Jul 6, 2019, 4:50 AM

#

Daaaaang that's crazy. I remember feeling like I had plenty of time to snag the Bastion one. Big picture wise I'm happy to see how loved this game is because of how quickly it sold out lol

sturdy gale Jul 6, 2019, 4:53 AM

#

limited run games won’t cancel orders in my experience, resale value on these things is one of the big draws for people to buy unfortunately

#

The consequences of “limited run” I guess

opal oak Jul 6, 2019, 4:55 AM

This, is what scientists call: "A big oof"

fluid dove Jul 6, 2019, 5:06 AM

I'm so happy I got my transistor special edition. I was waiting for the very second they were on sale.

lone spade Jul 6, 2019, 5:12 AM

#

It was such a cute set of things! I feel like if I just got the coasters I'd be happier, but I'm not willing to spend the extra money for a copy on ebay : /

opal oak Jul 6, 2019, 5:15 AM

#

Even if I could justify spending that much for an Ebay copy. I'd still feel kind of gross buying from a scalper

lone spade Jul 6, 2019, 5:16 AM

#

Right? It sucks that they can make so much money off of being 10 minutes faster than someone who actually wants the limited item

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

I mean I think it’s just general lore stuff ?

#

Prob over whether camerata is good or not but I couldn’t really tell u

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:11 PM

#

Well like, what does the game say about democracy?

#

Most of the main characters hate the world for being too democratic

#

Is cloudbank bad and why?

#

Was the failure of xamerata incidental, ô r where they doomed to fail

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:15 PM

#

I'm not sure Cloudbank is "bad" according to the game, but that the pure level of fluid democracy presented was unstable and somewhat meaningless.

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

Yeah

#

I’m trying to dig up what my thoughts were on this Ope

#

I was def in the camerata intentions were good

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

Objectively good, or that they thought it was good 🙂

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

I’m trying to remember that much oop

#

Well ofc they thought it was good but

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

Because I'd definitely agree to the latter, not so sure about the former if only because I'm not sure the level of chaos and potential violence they were aiming to wield were justified by the situation.

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:18 PM

#

Yeah I think the rake changes based on how many people you think they planned to send to the country and whether you think it’s ok to do so per se

#

For example if you take it as the country is a real place while still counting for death then it’s not So So Bad

#

And also I’ve seen the theorized # of people they were planning to kill vary wildly

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:18 PM

#

nodnod

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

Bc if it’s per se 10 ppl vs like 50 where does one draw the line for the betterment of society ?

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

I don't think that the situation warranted any violence on their part though, no matter how benevolent.

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

Yeah fair

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

0 🙂

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

If you want to call it betterment

#

I read it as the needs of the one vs needs of the many sorta sitch

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

Absolutely. Now if it could be objectively determined that it would be better and the people impacted could consent to dying to bring about that "better" future, then perhaps. But that's a huge assumption.

#

I generally operate as a rule utilitarian.

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

Yeah fair

#

Rule utilitarian ?

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

Have you heard of "ordinary" utilitarianism?

#

Things are "good" if they produce better outcomes?

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

Bc ofc none of the ppl consented to dying w that one oops squirtmeh

#

Hm maybe let me look it up

#

May be familiar w concept and jot the name

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:21 PM

#

👍 It's a little more than that, but the general idea is that "things are good if they produce good outcomes"

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

Ok yeah I’ve heard of it just not the term oop

#

So just that idea applied to rules ?

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

But a common critique of utilitarianism is "why don't I just kill someone, harvest all their organs, and save a dozen lives?"
Rule utilitarianism tries to solve this by saying that it also needs to be good when applied as a general rule of society.

#

yeah

#

So you can't just go out and kill someone to save a dozen people, because then everyone might be killed for their organs and no one would be left.

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:23 PM

#

Hhhhhhmmn ok wild

#

Ok that makes more sense

#

I think I’m remembering now my take

#

#

ok lemme try again no cursing

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

I don't think that if their plan had succeeded that it would have made a better world. To my understanding they killed a bunch of people in order to use them to replace democracy. That's necessarily a worse world, even if they would have had better art or whatever

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

Well hm

#

The democracy isn’t one as we think of it tho per de

#

I mean yes, it’s democracy but

#

It’s more of an Everything All The Time Thing

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

It's direct democracy taken to its extreme

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

Yeah

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

Cloudbank operated much more like a ^ That

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

And it’s full rule of the majority

#

Hi I’ve read up on political theory and I’m gonna use the phrase uh hold ion

#

Tyrrany of the majority

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

One of the themes of transistor is that direct democracy should not be taken as far as it is in the story

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

Bc even think about how they voted for something like what band was playing at a concert venue, that small band never would play on there under the Full Democracy system that sorta thing

#

Yeah

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

But the only alternative the story presents is the cameratas plan

#

Sooooo

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

What other alternative would there be then is the question

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

Consensus democracy, for example

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

I’m a little rusty on lore I’ll admit, I don’t remember what the full end goal of camerata was tbh other than ‘breaking free of our system’

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

I'm not sure Transistor intends the Camerata plot to be "the only alternative", but it is one proposed solution.

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:28 PM

#

Consensus democracy?

#

I mean that’s basically what they had

#

Issue was it was applied to everything

#

Wish we had a this tbh emoji oop

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:28 PM

#

😛

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

? It wasn't consensus democracy at all?

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

Am I thinking of the wrong term hold up

#

How would you explain it

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

Consensus democracy requires 100% of people to agree instead of 50%

#

With exceptions for when people are being unreasonable

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

Eeee that’s uh

#

I don’t think that’d work esp for the votes presented in transistor

#

And would require people to debate and agree on things like the weather oop

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

It's an alternative that would have a dressed the issues

#

People wouldn't have to debate on the weather if they didn't want to

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:32 PM

#

But then how would 100% consensus be reached y’know

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:32 PM

#

People who don't care that much would cede to those that care more

slim goblet Jul 16, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

I think 100% consensus democracy would result in nothing getting done, since it is already difficult to get that level of agreement with only 10-12 people.

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

But how would one figure out who cared more and less &c. I feel like that brings more issues than it solved

#

Yeah exactly

#

The issue wasn’t the form of democracy, it was because it was applied to Everything

#

I think that’d be funny as hell tbh

#

Everyone else in cloud bank: we agreed sunny would be ok, Please
Me, actual gremilin unwilling to compromise: R A I N

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

The problem everyone complains about is that things change too fast... slowing it down could be an advantage

#

Consensus democracy is how juries are run

upbeat sky Jul 16, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

Keep in mind that Royce Bracket was an architect and engineer first. Basically, what he wanted when he founded the Camerata was a way to predict what people would want next. Instead of waiting for people to make up their fickle minds and cast their votes, he wanted to use the combined consciousnesses of the most influential people in the city to make these decisions beforehand, so that the city could be rebuilt (whatever that means in a Matrixy/digital world like Cloudbank) more rapidly

#

He reckoned that what he was doing would be right, if it worked, but also knew that the population wouldn't like being removed from the decisions, so he did all this in secret

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

you know though, i always kinda thought that changing society was ultimately a secondary concern for him. definitely more grant's area of concentration, that.

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

It's bad for the population to be removed from the decisions, I'd argue

In favor of some sort of machine learning? Sounds dystopian

upbeat sky Jul 16, 2019, 7:46 PM

#

It literally is dystopian my dude

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 7:47 PM

#

i wonder if that's what it would look like. one big complicating factor is the fact that the camerata's plan went wrong in its infancy--was it something like 12% complete? 14%?

#

so what 100% looks like is... man, who can say for certain

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:48 PM

It was their hubris that failed them. They trusted the transistor to work consistently, they didn't know it's weaknesses

(greg. greg can. he just won't.)

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

Was the transistor's weakness literally just love though? In a Harry Potter sort of way?

upbeat sky Jul 16, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

It wasn't their hubris, it was that none of them knew that Red's boyfriend would be there at the time they tried to Process her

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

Sybil knew...

upbeat sky Jul 16, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

Did she?

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:50 PM

#

Yep, she made sure he'd be there

upbeat sky Jul 16, 2019, 7:50 PM

She knew Red would be at the Empty Set

huh, I don't remember that

It's not talked about too much because it invokes a pretty gross trope

the jealous lesbian's home wrecker tendencies destroy the world, and that's the only canon lesbian in sgg games iirc

#

Kinda damning when I put it in the most inflammatory terms possible

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:54 PM

#

No you’re right tho

#

Honestly that’s prob part of why I’m Big Sympathetic to the camerata they’re either queer coded or gay which Oof

#

Like I realize there’s only like 6 characters in transistor so I appreciate the rep but uhhhh

#

Yeah I hate Sybil a lot

#

And I’m not faulting the team or anything their intentions were good but Still augh

#

This is just me ranting now but ppl who ship red w Sybil like,, ik y’all want lesbian rep but in canon Sybil is gross and a stalker and tries to kill red’s bf like!

#

Hi, I fully intend to blame the camerata plan failing on Sybil

#

And why the transistor crashed wasn’t bc of love iirc it’s bc reds bf never voted on anything ever in his life so there was no data on him, he was null

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:57 PM

#

Yeah that's the obvious takeaway

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:59 PM

#

Abt Sybil u mean? Or why the transistor-crashed

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:59 PM

Why the transistor crashed

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 7:59 PM

#

Yeah

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 7:59 PM

The camerata plan went mostly without a hitch before the incident

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:00 PM

#

Right!

#

Extraordinarily cool Sybil, thank u so much so cool

#

OOP

#

Sorry I curse a lot ee

#

And to be fair sybil had no clue killing him would end that way but,, also to be fair not a good look killing a random dude who’s not part of the plan chief!!

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:03 PM

#

Hubris lmao

#

She could've played it of as an accident

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

She could’ve but still

#

Also I sorta read it as she wasn’t planning to kill red after so they could ‘be together’ which,,,, yea that’s gonna work out wel

#

*well

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

i gathered that her intention was to save her, yeah

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:09 PM

#

I suppose you can look at it from a she was trying to be merciful stance but ee

#

I just don’t like Sybil so I’m gonna hate everything she does oop

upbeat sky Jul 16, 2019, 8:12 PM

Kinda funny in this context that OOP also stands for "Object-Oriented Programming"

surreal rock Jul 16, 2019, 8:15 PM

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:15 PM

#

I wonder yeah bc as shown there r other camerata members there

#

So there was only so much she could do

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:17 PM

#

She could've gone public

#

Betrayed the camerata to save red, and then killed the guy on her own time if she really wanted to

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:18 PM

#

I suppose

#

But even then like

#

Red doesn’t Owe sybil her affection y’know

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:19 PM

#

thing is, she was the one who recommended swording red to begin with

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:19 PM

#

BIG OOPS

#

I forgot abt that tbh

#

RIGHT wasn’t it bc she thought she’d kill the guy instead of red w that or was it bc she was mad red didn’t like her

#

Also ur name is so powerful

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:19 PM

#

to be honest it's never explicitly said

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:20 PM

Ahh right

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:20 PM

Couldn't she just have recommended red's bf to be integrated?

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:21 PM

Well there’s no use in it

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:21 PM

#

There is to her

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:21 PM

#

No I mean

#

In the scheme of the plan

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:21 PM

#

we know she believed that boxer was somehow turning red against her and that she wanted to do something about this, and we know that she put red up as a suggestion for advancing the camerata's plan, and we know that she said red would be alone but she probably knew that was a falsehood

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:21 PM

#

They were getting artists and engineers and such

#

Why would they kill a nobody y’know?

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:22 PM

#

but whether there is a directly causal relationship there is more open to interpretation, i suppose

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:22 PM

#

O is the dudes name boxer

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:22 PM

#

haha well that's one of his monikers

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:22 PM

#

I forgot honestly 😅

#

Oh ok tight

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:23 PM

#

consider also the possibility that they didn't want red to die--none of them did. recall that many of the camerata's victims were invited to join them willingly first

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:23 PM

#

OH right

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:23 PM

#

just, you know, it's kind of an offer you can't refuse

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:23 PM

#

Honestly tho if the creepy girl who’d be stalking you showed up with some weird guys saying they were gonna change the word

#

*world

#

And rhey had a big scary sword like,,

#

I don’t care what they’re doin I’m gonna say no no matter what !

#

Altho I’m not red but

#

I think the same would hold true

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

i think our only glimpse into how red felt about her was through "in circles"

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

Right and if I remember right it was mostly ‘I can’t save you’

#

Lemme check

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

it feels like pity, yeah

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

Yeah

#

Not the basis of a healthy relationship

#

I just Don’t Like Sybil so I’m 1000000% never gonna think the best of her I’ll admit my bias

surreal rock Jul 16, 2019, 8:26 PM

could Syble have gone public, it would be her vs an admin

Yeaah

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:26 PM

She's not a nobody, she's a socialite

Would’ve been easy to say ‘crazed socialite has crush on singer, is rejected and tries to blame everyone else for her problems’

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:27 PM

Which is true...

Buttt

surreal rock Jul 16, 2019, 8:27 PM

but it would be her vs an admin, what ever asher did, and royce

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:27 PM

#

Yeah but the info she’d be spreading is so wild that people wouldn’t believe it

surreal rock Jul 16, 2019, 8:27 PM

#

also didn't they have the head of the news in the sword?

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:27 PM

#

And she’d likely ‘go to the country’ because of ‘grief’ soon enough

#

Don’t think so?

Thought they were wiped out by the process

surreal rock Jul 16, 2019, 8:28 PM

hm

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:28 PM

Likely

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:28 PM

There was a detective that got integrated because he just wouldn't drop the case

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:29 PM

Yeah that dude

Maybe there’s another head of the news I’m thinking of the person who reported the state of the city on qvc

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:29 PM

heehee, qvc

pulsar lily Jul 16, 2019, 8:30 PM

i replayed over the past couple days and man, i totally missed the pronounciation of Jallaford's name the first time
it doesn't look spanish so "Haya-ford" really threw me off

#

^ since you mentioned the detective c:

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:30 PM

#

I guess another problem with cloudbank is that although there's a democracy, it's still administrated by a couple people who have all the power

#

They get to pick what's even on the ballot it seems

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

yeah, there must be some hella failsafes to ensure they don't just push through what they want/tamper with the votes.

#

unless there isn't...

#

or maybe the democratic system they have is so ingrained as a cultural value that nobody would think to do such a thing, i dunno

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:33 PM

#

Yeah could be

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

Apparently everyone thinks administration is hard work, so Admins tend to be trusted to love their city

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

I do wonder what the specific role of the administrator is tbh

#

I mean all the camerata stuff is played as ‘we love our city so much we wanna fix it’

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

I don't think there's any fail-safes at all, with all the power red gets once she gets admin rights

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

i kind of assumed it was like any administrator would do... i mean, thinking of it in IT terms, it starts to make more sense in my head anyway

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

~~oh I’m sure it’s an it thing I just know the bare minimum abt tech stuff Ope~~

#

I mean I know enough but I’m not Well Versed is all

#

I mean cloud bank is a metaphor for a computer sorta

#

Which is why everything cycles

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

Admins are something like civil servants

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

And is all uhh how do you say Computery lmao

#

W the process being the coding that makes up the city

#

And that’s why when you do a new run Royce says the first line bc code starts w a BRACKET. H A H

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:37 PM

Cloudbank is not analogous to a computer and it's confusing the more you think about it

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

In my essay I will

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

oh sure shadesmile yeah, in universe they're like civil servants, and practically speaking irl they're the folks who have access to all of the back-end, well, processes that users interact with from day to day

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

Yeah

#

No it is tho?

#

I can go through it

That’s also why cloud - bank for the name

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:37 PM

I know there's a bunch of computer parts everywhere but they don't neatly tie together

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:38 PM

#

I mean what parts do you think don’t fit with it?

#

I’ll say I think it fits real well

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

it does! but i don't think it's a perfect 1:1 analog

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

Oh yeah it’s not 1:1 for sure hit

#

*but

#

Idk I always viewed it as a virtual world more than a real one

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

It doesn't add anything to the story to learn that the world is virtual or "real", it's a distinction without a difference

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

that's my interpretation too, personally. though importantly, i remember greg once saying that in the grand scheme of things, it just is what it is. it's their world, and it's real to them, and maybe that's all that really matters

#

but lmao i'm still sitting here silently assigning IT roles to the camerata

#

grant is an admin, obvs. and if grant's an admin then royce is your back-end developer--or maybe front-end developer? the back end kind of develops itself, thanks process

sometimes it feels like people talk about it with... nowhere near the same gravity you'd expect

#

i do enjoy any iteration of the country where the camerata are there but so are aaaaaallllll their victims and guess what turkeys, you still have to reckon with what you did

#

taking into account, of course, that you'll ever see royce apologize for it

#

royce: i have never done anything wrong ever, in my life
also royce, because he's in front of a mirror: i know this, and i love you

pulsar lily Jul 16, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

not sure which i like better, red seeing him there and just going off on him, or her being like "nope didn't come here to deal with you, bye"

probably depends on circumstances a bit

jolly radish Jul 16, 2019, 9:04 PM

you know though, between the two i'd be more worried about boxer

pulsar lily Jul 16, 2019, 9:06 PM

although red might keep things from getting out of hand, if she feels like

calm jackal Jul 16, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

Sorry for being mean earlier

#

While we're talking characters, I guess I can bring up my pet theory again

#

That when you hear talking in the transistor, it's the transistor itself using the voices of the people you love to get you to do what it wants. Red realizes this, and that's why the ending is like that

sour marsh Jul 16, 2019, 11:20 PM

OH DAMB THATS WILD

I used to listen to this when I was going to sleep bc his voice is so nice so he’d be talking about his plans & id be nodding off going ‘uh huh, yuh huh, sure Royce huh uh ur right snzz’

How would it go the other way? I can’t figure it oop

wispy stratus Jul 17, 2019, 4:24 AM

thanks @full peak !

#

isnt it weird that these are just... around

#

normally there's only 1 transistor, so what do they do for everyone else

#

presumably not just anybody can open them - they're probably useful for maintenance and such

#

like manholes

calm jackal Jul 19, 2019, 1:31 AM

#

maintenance seems perfectly doable using terminals

empty breach Jul 19, 2019, 1:32 AM

#

probably the equivalent to security panels? For all we know the transistor can grant permissions and access to third party individuals

#

Maybe on visible when u have transistor?

#

*only

#

I thought the process was invisible as wel somewhat maybe I’m misremembering

calm jackal Jul 19, 2019, 3:14 AM

#

it was invisible before royce changed things

#

iirc he was the one to shift the veil or something?

sour marsh Jul 19, 2019, 3:34 AM

#

Ohh right

#

Yeah yeah that

#

I can’t remember rn but that sounds abt it

#

Either way one would assume transistor points wouldn’t be visible normally

#

Which is super cool bc then they could put anything into the world and say it’s a process thing so people wouldn’t have normally seen this

#

That’s a bit incoherent but y’all get it

#

The access points might be mainly for special mod use

#

With the transistor being an extra use for them

#

this is the first time i seriously look at the access point in detail

#

god i love this game its so pretty

"we'll sort this out, maybe we can sort this out"

#

its like the electronics boxes at the end of streets in the uk, you occaisionsally see them opened up when being worked on with all the wires and terminals for the different buildings on the street. i guess access points are more like that than manholes maybe

#

the backdoors are more like manholes i guess becase a man (or woman with a large sword) can fit in them

calm jackal Jul 19, 2019, 6:59 PM

#

The backdoors are definitely invisible, right?

#

It's a surprise the first time they're seen

I want to cry I didnt noticed the collectors edition and now its to late shadegrief

#

too*

sterile iron Jul 21, 2019, 5:56 PM

#

collectors edition too expensive for me

full peak Jul 21, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

I thought about it, but I don't really play console games often, so I passed.

#

I rather buy limited print books than limited print games
