This channel has been pretty amazing the past few days. Can't wait to figure out what crail is.

@calm jackal Isn't that 'strange mix' just likely to be what a C game engine with something like lua for scripting gameplay looks like once its been compiled?

calm jackal
#

@digital peak the "decks" are actually part of how the game gives you the functions and upgrades. I believe there is some kind of multi-player in the sense that sometimes you see ghostly figures moving around as if they're playing

#

@crystal barn the thing is that there's some c code in between the lua code, and the lua code doesn't behave like lua for stuff like error catching, so it's a pain to work with

crystal barn
#

Roger, I was just suggesting a reason for it to look way... Since it might sort of change shape in weird ways after compilation etc?

#

sounds a bummer though 😛

#

Sounds like decks are basically what you might refer to as your loadout? A combination of your abilities and upgrades that make up your abilities... Your 'deck'.

calm jackal
#

Yeah, and the "decker" function deals the cards

crystal barn
#

make sense

calm jackal
#

So if I was, for example, trying to make some sort of randomizer mod, the decker function would be a good place to make edits in order to randomize what functions the player gets

#

Hot take: the gag overkill messages aren't boxer being sassy but the transistor itself being sassy (since Box can't communicate with us when we use Turn)

#

though it being Box is also godtier

calm jackal
#

Hotter take: it's royce, as a note to self

noble portal
#

do you read

lunar mesa
#

bold you to assume royce would listen to them

noble portal
#

I dunno, he doesn't strike me as the type to overkill for fun. Too much effort

little pagoda
#

I do think he would try just to see what it would do

#

He can cancel the turn actions after all, so why not try

Unrelated but i was today years old when i realized that asher's cat is licking his hand in the trace art

Cute af

But still you can't convince me that cat isn't a demon

But also is a Friend, very chatty and purrs like a jet engine

noble portal
#

and omg notes for Grant, I like that a lot

#

that makes maybe too much sense actually XD

little pagoda
#

I just like the thought of Royce trying to teach Grant how to control the transistor but its not easy because Royce himself is about 60% not sure how he does it

#

At some point the transistor just start feeling like an extra arm and thats how easily he can maneuver it

#

But when someone asks him how, he bluescreens

noble portal
#

you just gottaaaauuuuuuuhhhhh....

#
  • Windows error noise *
little pagoda
#

Also imagine he's walking somewhere, the blade levitating next to him, a noise spooks him and both Royce and the transistor take a defensive stance
As if it was a part of his body

oh very good

#

a boy and his sword: au where royce wins and goes on a journey of self discovery rebuilding the city

#

I don't know if Royce would get any cahracter growth from winning though, since isn't what he wanted from the start the power to make the city whatever he wanted? Which is why he messed with the process.

calm jackal
#

he got what he wanted, but at what cost

inland mirage
#

well, if you hear the people close to you in the transistor
and I imagine the other members of the Camerata have a lot of reflecting to do

tame sinew
#

Ohhh thats true

grim current
#

That might actually be a more fitting ending.

#

Red wanted to stay in the Transistor anyway.

#

This ending she just realizes it a different way.

noble portal
#

I mean if you game over in the final fight....

#

wait im watching the tone video there was 5 CAMERATA

calm jackal
#

that tone video is sick as hell, shows how much change happened in the story

#

there was an asset in the files i found that still used the old sword

yeah that was so old
im comparing all that and when i see the camerata im lioke
"they went from sublings to 2 couples amazing"

oh, meh I skimmed it and didn't care for it

Transistor is one of those games that like.... I feel everyone's take on it is so personal that fics of it are hard to read

All scientists are chaotically aligned and we can't stop them

Honestly i wanna say Royce to the titration flask thing but i can't imagine how he'd be drunk

I feel like he wouldnt be that much into it

Or would crash after one (1) beer

royce does shots but then you look in the glass and its all process blocks

I like this head canon and will subscribe.

yes, this is good

Asher is one of those people who can cheer anyone up except himself

hence the cat

Asher: yeah its really not much but idk. What they said kinda hurt. Guess im overreacting haha

Where you first fight a jerk iirc

Yeah unless you have the wrong functions

lol you cant break thru a block XD

#

imagine that happening

calm jackal
#

In the randomizer I'm making it gives you two random functions at the beginning instead of crash and breach. One time it gave me mask and help, so I couldn't get past the first little walls

#

Red commited suicide to be trapped in the Transistor with Boxer.

little pagoda
#

a rather brutal way to put it but

#

yes

calm jackal
#

? Nah they went to the country

#

Arguably

inland mirage
#

nothing says the country isn't part of the transistor

little pagoda
#

#

But the most important part is yes, she gave up painting the town and ended her life through the transistor so she would be in it with her boy

broken path
#

thaTS WHAT I SAID

little pagoda
#

YEAH

noble portal
#

Man I missed the heels discourse. Them’s boots, my guys. Not just heels but heeled boots. which makes me wonder if she wasn’t overheating in that dress because dang, it’s the middle of July

full peak
#

Weather is decided by democracy in Cloudbank. Even if they voted in warm weather, I doubt any of them went "Let's go for Arizona in July."

broken path
#

yeahhhhh

hot tree
#

i don't even think people in arizona want it to be arizona in july

calm jackal
#

In my hc when red gets to the temperature terminal she picks snow every time

#

Just for the sheer texture of it, compared to the texture of processed stuff

tame sinew
#

@olive elm I was upset with the ending at first too. But I shifted pretty fast during the credits just realising she was ||with boxer again in the transistor and able to spend eternity with him. I definitely had that initital feeling of like....loose ends and missed oprotunities, and the fact you don't get any real justice against what the camereta did. While whatching the credits though I got this intense vibe of just, "oh. But Red didn't care about that, she just wants Boxer and her voice back." ||

broken path
#

i was completely satisfied with the ending because she ended what they started, but didnt start anything new.

noble portal
#

Imo it felt like the only possible ending? Anything else wouldn’t have had any real closure

inland mirage
#

it fits in line with red's motivation too
she doesn't care about the city, royce didn't care about the people

manic lava
#

yeah red never did it for the city

#

& it'd just be an empty city.... it'd be pretty lonely, even with sword boyfriend

tame sinew
#

I wouldn't say that. She shines showed how much love she has for Cloudbank. She and the boxer had so many memories there, Boxer certainly wanted the city back. And I think watching what she types in the news logs, there's an honest desire to save the people of Cloudbank there

broken path
#

probably she just gave up in the end

#

like

#

"no one's here, ive murdered peeps, my bf is in this sword, the city is ruined...."

tame sinew
#

That makes sense...I feel like when the game ended, I was more seeing things from boxers position.

broken path
#

red doesn't talk: you're seeing through boxer's view and using red's reactions and terminal points (when she communicates)
the only time i think you REALLY see her pov is during the spine fight

tame sinew
#

That's actually a fantastic point

calm jackal
#

Cloudbank to some extent is its people

#

It was constantly changing, and then the camerata got its way, and now it's not changing anymore

#

To some extent the camerata wins

broken path
#

to some extent everyone wins and everyone loses
the people always got their way
the camerata got the city to stop changing
red and boxer got their revenge and were united

but at the same time, evryone loses
the people ended up all dying
the camerata's plan went wrong and they all ended up dying
red and boxer both went through emotional pain, and were united through death

tame sinew
#

Cloudbank was always changing, so the camereta was going to change it so it would never have to change, and now it never can change

little pagoda
#

Im just thinking how long would Royce go on before also giving up

#

If he won that fight

#

Because you cant transistor people back to life, it'd be just him, the city, and maybe if im feeling nice he'd hear the cameratas in the transistor

#

Like om not doubting he'd go for a long time.

Maybe he'd be too much of a coward to also bring himself into the transistor even if there wasn't much in cloudbank for him anymore

frail fulcrum
#

Royce struck me as the sort to never feel the need to have other people around

#

Like it's just a minor convenience to him that he can't order food or anything

little pagoda
#

I mean yes, but going that way for years?

frail fulcrum
#

But he can still just do his research on the transistor and the process

#

We don't really know much about the private life of Royce Bracket

#

But he seems like he'd rather it if everyone else just left him alone anyway

little pagoda
#

Yeahh

frail fulcrum
#

I reckon he could do it indefinitely

little pagoda
#

I mean i can see it but at the same time,,,,,, just wondering

#

I feel like he could go on forever if he heard his camerata friends from the sword

Cause like? With a silent sword like that and so much grief for causing all of this stuff (even if he doesnt look too much like it affects him i think it does)

Just

Oof.

#

But also Roy waking up with the Transistor after winning the fight, and hearing his friends

little pagoda
#

I'M

calm jackal
#

this is the animation that plays when he wins the battle

frail fulcrum
#

Especially the blank face

manic lava
#

that's fantastic

little pagoda
#

The way he almost falls over

#

Im sorry its too in character

#

XD

manic lava
#

royce bracket is real and he walks amongst us

little pagoda
#

I just saw art of Royce's Superuser form and BRUH

calm jackal
#

should've been canon i agree

little pagoda
#

Let 👏 all 👏 transistor 👏 users 👏 change 👏 forms

broken path
#

lol

little pagoda
#

Though consider, their superuser forms reflecting their functions

Grant's sapping life from everything around him or exerting it to heal, Roy being ethereal and blue, almost like water, with electric crackles

#

Also Grant having a superuser form but only using it once and it being a disaster due to him not being as linked to the transistor as red and royce

noble portal
#

That’d be spooky, if the amount of control was tied to your user level

surreal rock
#

It is, right

little pagoda
#

Also consider that the only thing running through a superuser's head is Kill()

They are turned into aggresive predators for that one turn, which fits since the same function also summons fetches

noble portal
#

Well I mean for the thought exercise of unpredictable variant forms of superusers

#

The degree of accessible potential the Transistor has is pretty explicitly linked to the user level

lyric hinge
#

Quick question regarding the Transistor.
From my understanding, people sort of live on in the sword. Kind of like how Red has "the Country" in there.
But the way that people are absorbed into the Transistor implies that they are also isolated from each other.

#

Does that mean that Red would be in her own isolated world at the end after being absorbed?
And that Unknown wouldn't be there with her, as a result?
I know that they show Red and him together in the end, but I was wondering if that was the real him.

surreal rock
#

It’s up to interpretation

noble portal
#

My personal theory is that a user using the device on themself disrupted those barriers, allowing the stored traces to interact, but I think a more accurate answer is We Just Don’t Know

little pagoda
#

What Royce said though, about hearing people you are close to. What if it also causes this, you being able to share their space? Royce wouldn't know this

But Red for sure did take a leap of faith either way

noble portal
#

Oh that’s interesting

surreal rock
#

Although It’s reasonable to believe that she is with the real mr nobody at the end

little pagoda
#

Its what i do so my heart can rest easy

lyric hinge
#

Yeah. Otherwise, it would imply that Unknown is on his own, knowing that Red is in there, but he could never get to her.

#

Which... damn.

#

That would be terrible for him.

little pagoda
#

MY HEART

#

CoUGH, you being able to break down barriers if you know the person

Asher and Grant being together as well

lyric hinge
#

Man, I hope so.

little pagoda
#

I dont want sybil and roy to be alone either dammit

#

Well i mean. Red does know Sybil and kinda Royce, no? Does that count?

lyric hinge
#

I also find it interesting that Unknown has consciousness of himself-as-Transistor.
I always wondered if he's special and something of a dominant personality in the Transistor.
Because Sybil and Red were close, even though they were drifting apart. Red should have been able to hear her if that's the case.

#

Clearly today's a day for feelings, because I just thought of what that would imply.
It would mean that Unknown exists as the Transistor's consciousness outside of his own world. So not only does he know that he's isolated from the real Red, he's trapped as the sword's consciousness.

little pagoda
#

Oh yeah right Box does sometimes speak as if he was the transistor and other times not

#

Like he's aware of it recharging and things like that

lyric hinge
#

Exactly. I'm just imagining him stuck there, still impaled in Red's body while she's in her own world.
Worse yet, in her own world with a fake him. And he's just stuck there watching it.

noble portal
#

Could be due to his trace being in an error/incomplete state

little pagoda
#

Y'all just went and stabbed me with a rusty spoon didnt you

noble portal
#

Alternately, maybe Sybil is just... afraid to say anything. She could also not be aware that she can talk to Red. There are some subtle hints that she never handled the Transistor herself, so she might not know traces can communicate.

little pagoda
#

^^

lyric hinge
#

I'd like to believe that, if only because the alternative would be so dark of a situation.

#

And I think Crail's heart can only take so much.

little pagoda
#

Consider,

That during that white flash that consumed Red and Royce after the sword was put in the Cradle
Red heard Boxer speaking to her. Knowing she would hear him

Imagine the Cameratas speaking to Royce in that moment

noble portal
#

What would they even say? 🤔

little pagoda
#

Thats why he's so confident, his friends are there, cheering him on

#

Well its not a huge timeframe, just reassuring him that they are there

#

Because i swear that dude must've been broken that day, he lost all of his dear friends

#

And the things he discovered and was excited about caused the apocalypse also but shhh

noble portal
#

Tru

lyric hinge
#

Though I could also see the Camerata also being upset with Royce for letting the Process spiral out of control.

#

Especially Asher.

little pagoda
#

Well it wasnt just Roy who messed stuff up, and Asher did say that they are all to blame

surreal rock
#

Syble talks to mr nobody, and red dosent hear

little pagoda
#

And also the day has been going so bad and

Like imagine you die, your lover dies, and you are in a sword and at this point does stuff even matter

And ALSO they didnt hear from royce im sure they would think or at least have a hunch that he perished

noble portal
#

Royce was probably screaming at her during that ending, but she didn’t know him well enough to hear him

surreal rock
#

Is mr nobody’s real function turn()

#

That would explain him saying “I’m all charged up” when you can use turn

little pagoda
#

Hnnn but all users have turn

surreal rock
#

Yea Royce had it too

noble portal
#

I don’t think so, if we assume the Sandbox is like, an actual thing in-world, there are planning tests that make use of Turn()

little pagoda
#

And royce implies its something he already used before like he uses it witg confidence and right away

noble portal
#

Tbf Royce also seems to like the Breach() function

#

Which is new

lyric hinge
#

I mean, Royce is also just generally confident. He's always been arrogant and assured with himself and his intelligence.

noble portal
#

But I think Turn is inherent to the device

little pagoda
#

I like the thought of Red hearing Royce. We did hear him when we started Recursion, after all

surreal rock
#

Oh heres a good one, mr nobody was killed and the transistor absorbed his personality

little pagoda
#

God dammit angsted again

#

But just absorbing the personality wouldnt take the love and memories for red

#

Why would a sword have that

lyric hinge
#

Yeah, that's why I've always had the opinion that Mr. Nobody's consciousness is as the sword.

#

Especially with his reaction to things like being recharged.

surreal rock
#

That’s my personal belief as well

little pagoda
#

Ye i can see that!

#

But like

#

Still the same boxer

#

Hes just a sword now

lyric hinge
#

Pretty much. He's not integrated like the others.

noble portal
#

Wonder if he feels any contact/motion

little pagoda
#

He says 'cant feel a thing'

noble portal
#

Aw

little pagoda
#

But then again sometimes when you use breach i think he goes HRRRRRRRNNNGH

lyric hinge
#

Well, swords don't have nerves, so that makes sense.

#

Using functioins is well... a function that is allowed by the object.

#

I see his sensory range as being defined by what the sword can do.

little pagoda
#

i like the thought of the subjects feeling it when their functions are intergrated into the build or used

lyric hinge
#

Which is why he makes sounds of exertion when using functions. Because even though it's not physical exertion, it's sort of... the closest his human consciousness can associate with it.

little pagoda
#

Lowkey why i always use breach void and flood lol gotta have them w me

noble portal
#

Breach is just good tbh

little pagoda
#

But imagine hearing Royce from the sword

#

Calling you out so hard for being bad in fights and turn()

noble portal
#

One of the few things I’d love as an expansion is an option for Royce voice in a recursion

little pagoda
#

RIGHT

noble portal
#

I want to hear what he has to say about Cloudbank

#

And how awful you are for interfering with their clever plans

little pagoda
#

Consider what Spine affected Royce would sound like

noble portal
#

At least he’d probably be more civil than GLaDOS

little pagoda
#

even better - royce's commentary is something boxer can't hear, since he and red are the recursed ones

#

you get Both

#

Okay but Royce also sounding very worried when Red gets hurt

noble portal
#

Aw

little pagoda
#

I just wonder what he'd say to sybil

noble portal
#

”This is all your fault” dunno

little pagoda
#

NO

#

NOT ALLOWED

#

trying to call out to her to get her to come back to her senses even if he knows thats impossible and that she can't even hear him but he tries anyway

noble portal
#

that seems more appropriate

#

he'd probably react with a mix of fascination, horror, and concern. Considering the Men are purely Process forms, Sybil is likely the first and only instance of a fully processed human we see

little pagoda
#

Royce trying so hard to make some observations on the spine but its clouding his mind so hard he just can't so its just angry drunk scientist babble

noble portal
#

d'aw XD

#

rambly drunk apologizing for being so mean earlier.. then saying nothing to address it later

little pagoda
#

He doesn't like Luna but gets more attached to her as the story progresses

#

YES

#

Half of his cloudbank commentary: i built that lol great innit
Other half: yeah there used to be a building here that i really loved but haha people got bored so it was brought down l o l

noble portal
#

I always think of purpleeyes's CodeMENT when I think of Royce talking about all the change in Cloudbank. "I'm NOT UPSET. I'M NOT."

little pagoda
#

Grant: hey man im sorry about the theatre that one was one of your finest
Royce:
Grant: hey you okay-
Royce: NOTHING I CREATE STAYS NOTHING MATTERS

#

Okay but Royce informing you about hidden pathways you missed in your first playthrough because he knows the city like nobody else

wintry verge
#

royce: oh did you go through that creepy dark alleyway? i made that creepy dark alleyway for the sake of having a creepy dark alleyway in cloudbank. nothing more,

noble portal
#

The Admins didn't like it, but I managed to sneak in one. It's the only one in town. Go check it out, won't you?

little pagoda
#

Red: walks in
Royce, excited like a little kid: COOL, RIGHT?
Red:
Royce: I EVEN ADDED MOSS AND SPIDERS!!

wintry verge
#

process ambushes red
royce: ah that's. uh. that was not planned, uh, no it wasn't

little pagoda
#

"listen i know it doesnt help rn but it just had to be a dead end you know"

#

"thats what all the creepy alleys were in movies"

noble portal
#

Do you guys think... Royce likes Red’s music...?

calm jackal
#

Probably sybil had it playing all the time

#

Camerata grows to like it eventually

#

There's a jukebox in the sandbox and it only plays red's songs

Considering how popular she was he's definitely heard them

Hmmmm

it's a real "timmy" kind of attack

my favourite build for the final fight was one that put a bunch of oomph into Ping, then stacked up some other "decoy" functions that would get knocked out first if I lost a healthbar

I gitta try that i love Ping

Ping (ping)?

#

Or is there a better ping build

Ping (void, cull)?

I think it was like Ping(ping, crash) or something

#

it might have been Ping(ping, cull) but I think I wanted to keep the mem low so I would lose it last

Decoy functions are real good if you only have one good function

Hey, that sounds like a good dog to me

Late to the discussion about traces being able to communicate within the transistor and I wanted to add a theory I read somwhere: traces are in 'lockdown' when there is a user but when the transistor is inactive then the traces can just like, hang out

#

I've always liked that one, it's less depressing

#

Also cull() is the best

oh, interesting

ok, ive quashed all the obvious bugs in the randomizer.

dm me if you wanna playtest i guess. i'll release it officially once i make an installer

#

Look i know any thoughts about what Asher's cat realistically is is kinda bad of an idea because it has red eyes and is already in the realm of fantasy but the closest colour i can come up with when looking at is a black tortie

#

Which would make it a female

#

Because only female cats can have that colour
I mean male cats with the colour can exist but they're extremely rare, sterile and may have problems cus its a disorder in that case

manic lava
#

hell yeah torties

#

YESS

#

Thought, sybil has no use of the sandbox training rooms, right? She isnt a transistor user herself

Maybe she let Roy on her private island before, maybe he was the one who built it for her

And he hung out w her quote a few times, and made those rooms to have a secluded training place

im not sure the sandbox is hers, only that she has a key to it

its prob Royce's but he let her hava a key for Luna

Imagine walking into the bathroom and hearing Apex Beat

#

Do you guys think the Process is sort of... A hivemind? Like it def feels like one, the whole thing of each having a function, of them all changing and improving, creting new models to mimic and adapt

But then again theres also hints that theyre individuals, like, they have personalities of sorts? Luna exists? We can switch their allegiance and stuff?

noble portal
#

I’d agree it’s kind of a hive mind, but you do make a good point about Luna, there’s something very distinct about that fetch and I’m not sure how or why she’s like that. Switch() conceptually doesn’t seem too weird for me, if the Process has some kind of FOF system, it just swaps those designations around temporarily

#

Maybe Luna is one of the first Process forms that’s been individually altered by the Camerata. When they use the Transistor to ‘do a thing’ to the city, I imagined it came across as a general command, like “local Process do X.” Maybe Luna is an instance of a function that reads “this Process form do X,” even if it’s not really how the Process usually works. Hence why she hangs out in the Sandbox like a kind of ready-room to be summoned to anywhere in the city

broken path
#

i think maybe she mighta been like a messenger

#

say if royce needed to get something physical to someone but wanted to stay holed up

little pagoda
#

I like to think that Sybil sort of befriended Luna

#

But that wouldn't explain why she's so on our side unless Luna was like, not part of the hivemind anymore n stuff

Sybil is Luna!

cue luna chewing up the transistor because she hears boxer speaking from it

#

Wait would Luna even hear him

#

Since you cant hear those you arent close to

#

You know what, Luna is a process and therefore can hear him ok

#

I wont take criticism this is for the wellbeing of my heart

surreal rock
#

Why are we concerned about Sybil’s fate, this thing is mostly her fault

#

The rest of the cam aren’t blame free, but their plan would have probably worked without Sybil’s interference

little pagoda
#

Royce murdered people and i still like him

#

Or well

Brought up the plan

Idk if Grant or Roy did the muwdew

It was their plan so I think all 4 share the murders, but the destruction of cloud bank is like 75% on Sybil

Are there multiple sandboxes or is there just 1 sandbox that all the doors lead to?

#

Why does the sandbox have a sun, what's up with that?

noble portal
#

I like to think it's one Sandbox that can be reached from multiple points. As to the weird colour-changey sun.... aesthetic?

#

my hc is that the Sandbox is a space Royce and Sybil kind of collaborated on; Royce was fine with it being a minimal holodeck kind of space to mess around in with the Transistor, but then Sybil found out about it and was like "but what if beach!??!" so he coded up some scenery for it

#

or maybe Royce was like haha "sandbox mode let's make it a beach" and Sybil added the more personal touches like the hammock and stuff

Hi guys. I was shooting for 100% achievements on Transistor because I love the game and thought it'd be fun to do, so I started a fresh save. Towards the end of the game, my home internet went down for a day and I was playing with Steam in offline mode. (Yep, you can now see where this is going...)

I beat the game, started Recursion, played through the game, beat Royce again, roll credits. Except, I didn't get the Goodbye() achievement because Steam was in offline mode. (I didn't know it wouldn't award achievements if it was offline for a singleplayer game :/ ) .

Right now, I'm on the screen post-credits where the game offers you the choice of beginning Recursion again or quitting to desktop. It appears as if the trigger for the achievement is before this point, and nothing I did (reloading, quitting, starting another recursion and playing a little) gives it to me.

Suffice to say, I'm kinda miffed. As much as I enjoyed Recursion (Flood is stupid OP) I really don't have it in me to finish the game a third time. If any of you kind souls could upload a Recursion save file just before Royce (or as close as possible) I would really, really, REALLY appreciate it.

Where are your save files located? They should be in Steam\userdata[Your steam ID]\237930\local. They'll be named Profile[number] with the extension .sav.

Thank you for your time :')

calm jackal
#

Oh, I could give you a save file right after royce I think

#

I'll get it to ya tomorrow

#

Unless someone else does it faster

wintry tendon
#

You mean before Royce?

calm jackal
#

Either or

#

The trigger (I think) is just as soon as you take him down, so anything after that is past the point of no return :/

But please do, I'll take a look at it, thank you very much :)

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Everyday I want n SO

~uses time stop to aggressively pet his hair 500 times~

and eat the hair as the transistor

gain the hair, leading to transistor having floofy hair in the next recursion

noble portal
#

gain the Shave() function and toss floofy haircuts at people

little pagoda
#

Is... His fluffy hair... Why Haircuts are a thing... Since Men are based on Royce...

calm jackal
#

Damn, one more thing to blame royce for

little pagoda
#

Imagine the hell of a bossfight Processed Royce would be.

calm jackal
#

I really am gonna figure out how to add other processes to the final boss

#

Royce + like 5 cheerleaders

little pagoda
#

Summons other Men he shares a status with, shoots haircuts, can go masked

#

All the while trying to talk to you so he also does psychic damage and you get the "CANT SEE THE SCREEN THROUGH TEARS" debuff

#

@calm jackal calm down satan

calm jackal
#

Royce but rude

little pagoda
#

You mean he wasn't already

#

Idk but that Flood to the face was kinda rude

calm jackal
#

He could be ruder

little pagoda
#

... He could

#

Other than his first turn it was a fair fight

#

He didn't go full Sybil

calm jackal
#

What if royce had some really annoying passives equipped

little pagoda
#

Oh my god

calm jackal
#

Like bounce and ping

little pagoda
#

Royce but he has Bou- YEP

noble portal
#

you can sort-of avoid stuff even while his turn is going off

little pagoda
#

Royce but he has Help as a passive and 25% of the time he goes super saiyan and instakills you

noble portal
#

lol

little pagoda
#

@noble portal ive done that on accident

noble portal
#

I do it regularly XD

little pagoda
#

RIP Royce, not even ZA WARUDO can make you op

#

I'm so gonna get my butt kicked when o try to fight him with limiters

calm jackal
#

You can jaunt out of his load attacks

noble portal
#

if you really jam on whatever control you use for morevement, ideally perpendicular to his targeting, you cans sloowwwly drag yourelf out of alignment and sometimes it helps dodge the more linear functions

little pagoda
#

He never used Load against me

noble portal
#

he also has tiny soundbytes for when he misses 😛

calm jackal
#

He's got some funky load outs sometimee

little pagoda
#

He does?

calm jackal
#

You should see him with mask

little pagoda
#

NO

#

I DIDNT EVEN KNOW HE CAN HAVE MASK

noble portal
#

he can WHAT

#

I've never seen that

little pagoda
#

tbh i thought he always has Flood, it wouldve been a nice touch

#

He def had it against me

noble portal
#

I've only ever seen Bounce, Breach and Flood

#

oh and LOad

calm jackal
#

His loadouts change every time he loses all his health

little pagoda
#

I remember him having crash, flood and breach

#

Thats neat, maybe thats like a nod towards him having a better mastery of the transistor than Red

noble portal
#

but anyway yeah, it's hard to hear over the sounds of functions but he sometimes does this little huff/gasp if he misses you

little pagoda
#

Oshdhf Royce, you mess

noble portal
#

that's attention to detail right there XD

little pagoda
#

"Stop being so defensive, I'm just trying to hit you with weapons"

calm jackal
#

I've seen him with spark pretty consistently

little pagoda
#

I wonder what are the functions he can't use

#

I think Help is one

calm jackal
#

He can't use help or switch for sure

little pagoda
#

For obvious reasons

#

But im still salty we didnt get to see him go superuser

calm jackal
#

I don't think he gets cull either that would've been cool

little pagoda
#

I wonder why though, was it too strong?

#

I don't think I've seen him with Void

calm jackal
#

Effects like cull and void probably don't work on red

#

Or like, it would've been more work to get that working

#

Other notes on royce: if you're trying to run backstab build on him you should know he turns to face you 70% of the time

little pagoda
#

"Nothing perso- HOW DID YOU KNOW"

#

"IVE BEEN RUNNING THIS BUILD YEARS BEFORE YOU TOUCHED THE TRANSISTOR, KIDDO"

calm jackal
#

Backstab is soo good in this game

little pagoda
#

Maybe having him use void will take additional work on his ai because its not a function you can use on its own to be effective

calm jackal
#

Crash() Bounce(mask()) mask()

#

Tiny red tho

#

Would've been worth it

little pagoda
#

Didnt know she could get any shorter

#

/shot fired

calm jackal
#

Damb rude

#

Also reading about Fairview makes me sad i didnt know it had woods and a sanctuary

Before being processed

calm jackal
#

Imagine Royce meditating

little pagoda
#

I KNOW WE JOKE ABOUT ROYCE BEING ASMR BUT WHILE I WAS LOOKING IF I COULD FIND WHICH FUNCTIONS HE CAN'T USE I FOUND HIS DIALOGUE ACTUALLY POSTED TO THE ASMR REDDIT

noble portal
#

ayup

calm jackal
#

Did the asmr reddit like it?

little pagoda
#

They did

#

Also I can definitely see Royce meditating

#

Since there is that unused quote of "Clear the mind, clear the mind, it's the only way"

calm jackal
#

Hey red you're really killing my vibes by hitting me

little pagoda
#

Vibe check! Cull()

calm jackal
#

Imagine royce meditating in the quiet of fairview and then sybil comes in in her little speedboat to be like "ay yo royce grant wants to try out your sword again"

"ugh okay sure but can i just. Lie facefirst in the dirt for like ten minutes before we go"
"oh, mood"

Same problem but with Boxer and Red

Also
Grant: ive had enough. Im leaving, and im taking the nerds with me. puts asher on his shoulders, picks up sybil with one hand and royce with the other, stomps out of the room

We need more of Royce's cell
We need more of Asher's cat
We need less of Sybil's umbrella

Royce's Cell turns into a Fetch. He names it Sol

broken path

Sol(iam)

little pagoda
#

Also a thought - it turns into a jerk and starts picking royce up just like roy did to it when it was a cell

broken path
#

lmao

little pagoda
#

May have said that already but I like to hc that he found it, abandoned and beginning to corrupt

Was like, oh hey lil guy, where's your younglady? And tried to calm it down enough so it would sit in his hand, so they could go look the younglady and hopefully reverse the spoiling before it was too late

And then it turned out that the spoiking was caused by stress and now that the Cell had a new hooman parent it healed

#

Aaand now it won't leave

noble portal
#

noooo that's so sweet DX

little pagoda
#

Its sitting in his labcoat pocket now. Or on his head

#

Especially when he's trying to sound important

broken path
#

nOOOOO

little pagoda
#

The Cells also aren't the brightest of Process, so it thinks Royce is just like, a really weird younglady

#

One time he got hurt and it freaked out and called Weeds for help

#

They were very confused

#

But there was a sad Cell at play so they helped

Not sure what it would be, but I'll bet it's something well thought out and meaningful

So yeah i caved in and downloaded the entire transistor soundtrack like a month after finishing the game, so much for saying 'hm this didnt have as much of an impact on me as i thought it would' when i finished it

I'm still not over it

#

Hold on

#

I terminated the process in one turn why does it take it as a loss

#

Nvm gottem

little pagoda
#

Also now the men im up against arent moving

little pagoda
#

oookay folks i have a problem

#

so, i noticed i had a bollocks config on

#

also limiters and the combination of the bollock config and bollock limiters doesnt let m get past a fight

#

no big deal right ill just die and then select to retry without limiters

#

except

#

both buttons dont get rid of the limiters

#

making me stuck

#

and i cant backtrack to a point to change my functions, either

calm jackal
#

Uh oh

little pagoda
#

uh oh.

calm jackal
#

I wonder if you could pass the save to someone who could beat the section with the limiters for you

little pagoda
#

the problem is the cell shield limiter, since my only really attacking function is cull¨

#

which is way too fricking slow to execute especially after a turn

#

dont ask me what was i thinking i dont know either

#

i dont remember i last played the game weeks ago

#

n i doubt flood + mask breaks that shield

calm jackal
#

You don't have any other functions that deal any damage?

#

Flood should break shield...

#

Shields have like 1 health

little pagoda
#

damn wrong order

#

its mask + flood

calm jackal
#

Oh ok

#

Mask can make pulling stuff off a lot easier though

#

Do you have the faster cell respawn limiter on also?

little pagoda
#

im gonna scream i was so damn close

#

yeah

calm jackal
#

Good luck

little pagoda
#

Okay i did it

#

Phew

#

That was hell but also actually made me use my brain for once

#

New problem: i removed the limiter that makes your functions overload when you uninstall them, yet its still in function

#

Am i just permanently glitched on full limiter

#

Okay good

#

I get it now

#

That wouldve been funny if it was the case though

calm jackal
#

Yeah it's a weird anti cheat mechanic

#

How did you solve the problem

little pagoda
#

Oh thats fight?

#

I just like

#

Lured each process out and killed it separately
