ahem cool rail if u will

@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?
@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
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'.
Yeah, and the "decker" function deals the cards
make sense
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
Hotter take: it's royce, as a note to self
do you read
bold you to assume royce would listen to them
I dunno, he doesn't strike me as the type to overkill for fun. Too much effort
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
Galaxy brain: its notes royce left for grant
probably
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
- will ZOOM full speed at 3 am
- will wake you up by batting at your face or sitting on it
- attaccs your feet from under the sofa
- will lay on you Only when your jeans are designer and hard to rid of cat hair
lol
But also is a Friend, very chatty and purrs like a jet engine
and omg notes for Grant, I like that a lot
that makes maybe too much sense actually XD
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
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.
he got what he wanted, but at what cost
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
Ohhh thats true
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.
I mean if you game over in the final fight....
wait im watching the tone video there was 5 CAMERATA
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"
check out Transistor/Content/Movies/MuseReload.bik for some oldsword content
neVER
need more Camerata content in my life
theres a camerata fic in the pins and it is g e n u i n e l y a w e s o m e
??? tone video??
in the pins
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
like I fully expect people to not like my stuff when I get around to posting it
CrAIL
cRaiL
its my reminder to ask sgg when I have a chance lol
Yall i didnt wanna be mean to Royce with my trash scientist headcanons but today i saw a scientist drink tea from a bowl and another one beer from a titration flask
Are They Just Like This
Is This My Fate
hdjfkgjg
I think they are XD
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
royce what are you DOING,
forbidden jolly ranchers
FORBIDDEN JOLLY RANCHERS
Royce is that guy who looks at a lego block and goes ah forbidden snack
bites something just to see if it squishes
Or one of those jumpy foamy balls
Straight up bites into it
(i love how its just a general consensus that Royce is a trash goblin)
composed and well-put-together on the outside, 110% trash on the inside
Hc: Asher radiates an Aura that makes anyone feel a little better in his vicinity and all of the Cameratas would also immediately throw down if someone laid a finger on him
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
Royce, grabbing the transistor: OH HOW CONVENIENT THE REQUIRED TRACE LIST JUST GOT LONGER
AW LOL
Grant: I just wanna talk. 🔪
WHAT'S THEIR NAME
Sybil: Hi did yall need to know their exact location because I've got deets
the entire Camerata (minus Asher) roll up to some random dude's house like "Heard you were talkin' smack."
||This just makes it extra sad that Grant abandons Asher at the end.||
Man i love transistor and im olaying rhrough it but like
Damn is it sometimes hard to figure out where you are goinf
a little yes
idk wtf this is but it's a w e s o m e
Im like
At rhe second time you deal with a spine and i ak completely stuck
i dont remember that dammit
i played through that part sleeby on a train
like, no real fight
I cant send the photo cause i dint have the permissions shiit
Oh my goooood i can break through these blocks
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
lmao
red, furiously climbing over the wall in high heels feral for camerata blood
...tho
omg
every once in a while i wonder if she had high heels on at the empty set
like bruh
imagine doing all of that in heels
no way
no wAY IN HELL
red: grieve
red: rip dress
red: seek revenge
red: heels stay
Her feet hurt like hell but not as much as her heart
omg imagine doing colourguard in hEELS URGGG
reds heels stay for the sole purpose of yeeting a shoe at the spine
lmao
she keeps it around because boxers jacket has actual pockets
slices heels with the transistor and sends their soles to the country
So i just beat transistor
||what the hell was that ending?? Im very confused||
Red commited suicide to be trapped in the Transistor with Boxer.
nothing says the country isn't part of the transistor
☝
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
thaTS WHAT I SAID
YEAH
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
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."
yeahhhhh
i don't even think people in arizona want it to be arizona in july
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
@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." ||
i was completely satisfied with the ending because she ended what they started, but didnt start anything new.
Imo it felt like the only possible ending? Anything else wouldn’t have had any real closure
it fits in line with red's motivation too
she doesn't care about the city, royce didn't care about the people
yeah red never did it for the city
& it'd just be an empty city.... it'd be pretty lonely, even with sword boyfriend
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
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...."
That makes sense...I feel like when the game ended, I was more seeing things from boxers position.
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
That's actually a fantastic point
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
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
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
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
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
I mean yes, but going that way for years?
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
Yeahh
I reckon he could do it indefinitely
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
57 Likes, 0 Comments - Tim Matthews (@timmcosplay) on Instagram: “Happy Birthday, Transistor! Royce does an awkward celebratory dance for you. Iwas looking forward…”
I'M
this is the animation that plays when he wins the battle
Especially the blank face
that's fantastic
royce bracket is real and he walks amongst us
I just saw art of Royce's Superuser form and BRUH
should've been canon i agree
Let 👏 all 👏 transistor 👏 users 👏 change 👏 forms
lol
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
That’d be spooky, if the amount of control was tied to your user level
It is, right
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
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
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.
It’s up to interpretation
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
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
Oh that’s interesting
Although It’s reasonable to believe that she is with the real mr nobody at the end
Its what i do so my heart can rest easy
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.
MY HEART
CoUGH, you being able to break down barriers if you know the person
Asher and Grant being together as well
Man, I hope so.
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?
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.
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
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.
Could be due to his trace being in an error/incomplete state
Y'all just went and stabbed me with a rusty spoon didnt you
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.
^^
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.
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
What would they even say? 🤔
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
Tru
Though I could also see the Camerata also being upset with Royce for letting the Process spiral out of control.
Especially Asher.
Well it wasnt just Roy who messed stuff up, and Asher did say that they are all to blame
Syble talks to mr nobody, and red dosent hear
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
Royce was probably screaming at her during that ending, but she didn’t know him well enough to hear him
Is mr nobody’s real function turn()
That would explain him saying “I’m all charged up” when you can use turn
Hnnn but all users have turn
Yea Royce had it too
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()
And royce implies its something he already used before like he uses it witg confidence and right away
I mean, Royce is also just generally confident. He's always been arrogant and assured with himself and his intelligence.
But I think Turn is inherent to the device
I like the thought of Red hearing Royce. We did hear him when we started Recursion, after all
Oh heres a good one, mr nobody was killed and the transistor absorbed his personality
God dammit angsted again
But just absorbing the personality wouldnt take the love and memories for red
Why would a sword have that
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.
That’s my personal belief as well
Pretty much. He's not integrated like the others.
Wonder if he feels any contact/motion
He says 'cant feel a thing'
Aw
But then again sometimes when you use breach i think he goes HRRRRRRRNNNGH
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.
i like the thought of the subjects feeling it when their functions are intergrated into the build or used
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.
Lowkey why i always use breach void and flood lol gotta have them w me
Breach is just good tbh
But imagine hearing Royce from the sword
Calling you out so hard for being bad in fights and turn()
One of the few things I’d love as an expansion is an option for Royce voice in a recursion
RIGHT
I want to hear what he has to say about Cloudbank
And how awful you are for interfering with their clever plans
Consider what Spine affected Royce would sound like
At least he’d probably be more civil than GLaDOS
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
Aw
I just wonder what he'd say to sybil
”This is all your fault” dunno
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
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
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
d'aw XD
rambly drunk apologizing for being so mean earlier.. then saying nothing to address it later
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
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."
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
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,
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?
Red: walks in
Royce, excited like a little kid: COOL, RIGHT?
Red:
Royce: I EVEN ADDED MOSS AND SPIDERS!!
process ambushes red
royce: ah that's. uh. that was not planned, uh, no it wasn't
"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"
Do you guys think... Royce likes Red’s music...?
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
Train: uses the word 'integrated' in its announcements
Me: laser eyes
welcome the the.....trainsistor
just got done replaying this game since 4 years ago and i never realized how awesome the function stuff is
or rather i forgot
Lets you be v creative i love it
I love it. But I also always end up going back to spamming void
void(tap, purge)
wins every time
unfortunately new game+ with all modifiers on doesn't seem to give much legroom for original loadouts
at least in my experience
I'll take that as a challenge and suffer horribly
lol
I pewpew'd royce to death once ill do it again
no
testing the randomizer gives me the opportunity to test some funky stuff
have yall tried cull(spark)?
makes you feel incredible to use
nope
ive probably used spark(cull)
spark cull seems good too, and is probably more practical
i swear ive tried EVERYTHING with spark bc why the heck not
spark is amazing
wow that is weird but cool af
i havent played much with cull at all
but if this is what comes out i should do it more
Whoa
YEAH BECAUSE ITS THE 👏 COOLEST 👏
and royceslam
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
then just machinegunned him to death XD
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
lemme just Help(tap, cull) and never touch it XD
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
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
Sybil: Royce!
Royce: What?
Sybil: I BROUGHT A FETCH!
Royce: falls off the hammock screaming
Maybe he built the training rooms to train Grant to be a transistor user
not the hardest game to 100% but that was fun https://imgur.com/oGQqJVt
there's a 4 year gap between half of my achievements there lol
omg awesome
omg thats cute
HOW IS A GLITCHY BLACK LINE CUTE-
my brush to paint the town is a ms paint brush looks like
some functions are broken, yeah
is that not what the line's supposed to look like?
what kind of binds do you have to have switch on q
this is the big transistor glitch i know
It's Switch + Tap and Jaunt
But like,,,,,, im v sure thats not what that should look like lol
Question, you know that moment when the Process ambushes you when you're on the elevator thingy
What music plays there? I really love it
Also, I have functions on QWER because I'm used to league of legends and its just more comfy :'D
Heightmap? I think
I think it's Heightmap
Height mayo
Speaking of, when does Dormant play? I remember hearing it before but I don't know where in the game
It's so ominous
its one of my favorites!!
I wanna say during one of the Spine sections.
All i remember from that fight is apex beat
Would make sense if it was in the bit just before or after
I think it's when Spine is chasing you
or right when it reveals itself the first time
Early on in the bit with the Spine, but also if you go through the Goldwalk Channel iirc
While we're asking about songs, what's the jingle that plays in the break room in the towers
Also when does Cut Apart play, can't remember that one either
right after the cutscene before the Syble fight, but before the actual fight, when you first find mr nobody
I believe that is sandbox
I dont think sandbox plays in there hmmm
the backdoor?
Its too... Beachy sea-ey i guess
Nono
Break room as in the one in the towers
Someone asked
oh the bathroom yea idk what plays there
I think Coasting makes the much sense nothing else really fits i guess
Imagine walking into the bathroom and hearing Apex Beat
I don't think break room's little jingle is actually on the ost, mostly because it's just a few notes
lol
cut apart goes on the ost but not break room?? :(
having just googled the break room scene, there's verrry little noise
Listen
Cut Apart goes on the soundtrack for the angst attack it gives people when they find it in there
This just in a fresh headcanon
Royce Bracket loves lego and many Camerata feet have been mauled by stepping on a piece upon setting foot in his room
Lego is clucker deterrent
That's what you get for having hyper realistic feet, you chickens
IM CHUCKKIGN
royce bracket's house becomes the holy place for clucker pilgrims who seek illumination via pain of lego to the feet
Bold of you to assume he doesnt like cluckers
That One Roof: has like 300 cluckers
Royce: LOOK AT ALL THOSE CHICKENS
does he try to feed them like the man with his four thousand parrots
... I don't think the process eats
But he tries to feed them anyway
One time the cluckers started copying his ringtone
Royce: i dont like process. I dont trust them.
Clucker:
Royce: oh my god IS THAT A CHICKEN?!
XD
imagine chicken being royce's favourite food so they decided to take the eggy form
the siren's call for people uninterested in companionship might just as well be eggs and chicken drumsticks
lmao
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?
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
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
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
cue luna chewing up the transistor because she hears boxer speaking from it
AWWW
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
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
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
☝
I mean yeah, but that doesn't mean I can't be concerned about her and lov her
Where did this come from i thought we were talking about a robotic dingo
Sybil is Luna confirmed
Thats a cute thought ngl
There is a joke to be made there, but I can’t say it on this server
👀
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?
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
PLEASE
finally got my ce edition and im living listening to the soundtrack in the car
I thought you meant you finally got the record and I was imagining what kind of car would have a record player
It's even better when you're in a car with your (equally) nerdy friend and you both know the lyrics
Has anyone actually played their transistor records or do they just sit there collecting dust and resale value
Singing along to in circles with a friend, the dream
old housemate had a turntable, would spin the soundtrack on occasion
Levitate by imagine dragons is a Boxer song don't @ me
also i threw a random thingy in #fan-works im not sure if i didnt put it in here already
My professor: “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
Me:
ROYCE???
hjgvhjfhj yup! your teacher is royce!
TIME TO RUN BEFORE YOU GET SORDED
Just start calling him Professor Brackett.
If he raises his voice and starts talking like the Colonel, run.
but if you have no special talent or powerful voice in the society, he won't bother swording you
so time to ace the exams without talking too much in class
is there anyone here that can polish off my final tattoo design? It's a frankenstein's monster of photo editing, and I can't get it to look right
It's the logo on the access points. Gonna finally get it done
...I can try?
VIBE CHECK! stabs you with the Transistor
"ah, i see youve obtained excellent results for this exam, let's discuss this in my office"
Transistor school au
Grant is the principal everyone is scared of
Royce is the math/physics teacher thats kinda cool but there are rumors circulating about him being a lunatic
Asher is an english/literature teacher
Sybil is the teacher all the guys like
Which is funny, because she hates them all and has been pining after the music teacher since they met.
playing transistor on switch (finally) and i just got to the part where it flashbacks to the camerata attacking and god it really got me
this game is SO good
also im finally using jaunt sheet literally never using it in any of the times ive replayed and it's quite fun actually
jaunt is super useful
oh yeah i always have jaunt
jaunt(help, purge) is So much memory so it's the first thing you lose when you eat it but it's also like. the mvp
i never ever used jaunt XD
i'll def try that once i have everything
Jaunt is so good as an upgrade too
I think the first 4 functions you get are some of the best in the game
yeah yeah
how have yu people never used Jaunt!? XD
in fairness I don't really like Spark, I suppose
XD
I only use jaunt() as an upgrade
I just load up ping() and play it like an arcade shooter
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 :')
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
You mean before Royce?
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 :)
Needs more stutter and ASMR'y voice.

i cant read the limiter info rip
without my glasses it's just blurry text
Broke Sybil and a fight with The Spine striking down at me in the same hour.
Got a Weed stuck in a wall and when I destroyed it only the field the enemy generates remained and it could still damage me. Fight can’t be ended and the thing’s gone.
You can't see it when you go into turn?
Maybe you can escape the field using speed running tricks
I can’t see it in or out of Turn()
And yeah, I should try escaping the field but I gotta look up and learn how.
Also, it died now, The Spine killed it.
I know, and there are some you can just skip.
I brought The Spine’s tail out of the battle fields where it normally attacks.
The straight downward attack tail, not the wall.
I can have both appear at once.
I have a picture of them both on screen.
hahahah send
Pretty hype to hear that We All Become is gonna be in PSVR Audica! Might be the most compelling reason for me to get PSVR to-date, lol
If you wanna play transistor music in a rhythm game there's also amplitude which has the song "impossible"
also you can just plug anything you want into audiosurf
Can’t you make custom tracks in Beatsaber too?
Watch me break a leg trying to put impossible in ddr
👀
:TRANSistor:
HELL YEAH
Grant: Ash, look how cute these pens are!
Asher: Grant, that's gay.
Grant:
Grant: Asher we've been dating-
re: rhythm games
I wanna play Beat Hazard with the transistor ost now
hahahHAHAHA
Impossible is a beautiful theme but don't make me do it on ddr
Im not good enough to make it look impressive unless i wanna DIE
apex beat on ddr
That would be easier imo but xD
Please note (pun intended) that im not experienced in making songs playable in ddr i just know how to do it-
H but Apex could be fun
I should really get back into ddr
It was so much fun
aaaah sunkrish bala is back in the new season of silicon valley 😍 that is all
royce hours...
royce hours 
realest Royce hours
?
what is happening
sunkrish bala is royce's voice actor!
ah
thank
thank u for joining me in these royce hours
man i forgot what a pain the dogs are
now i have to use a strategy beyond "spam spark()"
also not a fan of cheerleaders
cheerleaders and dogs, you just gotta get em in one turn()
get a nice backstab build going
crash(), bounce(mask()) or something
Buh just use Bounce passively
i like using Switch the weeds with Tap as a upgrade on it
Who needs help when you can just switch the dogs
assemble an army
Ping everything
@little pagoda Asher is Mac from It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia 😂
My copy of Transistor arrived today, I'm so happy

it has a game manual! I've missed those os much
do games really no longer have manuals? :0
all the nintendo switch games I've bought physically (sans Dust: AET CE because I haven't opened it) haven't come with a physical manual
every physical game I own has one, I think... but I only own PS3 games and limited run games
huh. I guess they don’t make manuals anymore??
they're usually an oddity now, and it kinda sucks because I love reading through them
Sometimes a good comes with game manuals, like a small poster.
some games come with like
a slip of paper at most now
the transistor manual is so nice!!
Hey a cute thought: a group of cluckers following royce like ducklings following their mom
Every now and then he has to stop and help them up curbs/out of storm drains
they give me the vibe that they do that thing where they'll hide or pretend their not following him when he's looking back around but follow him when walking
Royce eventually gives up and just carries them in his arms
he becomes the lord of cluckers
chick magnet
YES
CHICK MAGNET
Imagine doing the royce fight but there's like 10 cluckers around
Theyre not sure who to cheer for
his Help() would be a Clucker instead a Fetch
just finished the spine section (BOXER I LOVE U) and boy did i jaunt() a lot during that fight
until i lost it anyway ;( that tail really gets you
oof
OOOHH
A local artist from Spain themed her Inktober about "Science fiction ladies" and I bought this one 🌈✨
Her name's Xulia Vicente in case you wanna check her out, shes so cool
(bonus points if you read the tweet singing)
I don't think it's possible not to sing along
this is so gorgeous!!!!
Transistor has ruined me. Every time anything is cyclical, be it in ecology or just like, old fashion coming back into the spotlight, the little royce gremlin in my head yells that when everything changes nothing changes
- coughs at the fact that it's almost "the 20s" again and we're due for another social revolution of literally hte same kind * yeah that's weird, huh
You've heard of the "Roaring Twenties"
now get ready for
The "Screaming Twenties": The Twenties for a new millennium
people back then:
wow i sure am glad we did all those social revolutions. now the world is better
history:
RECURSION MODE
I SHOULDNT HAVE LAUGHED THIS HARD
Time is a flat circle?
yes
@trna fic writers: more royce please
I second More Royce
But also more Boxer. And Asher
And Grant. And Red. And Sybil
Wait.
more luna
Absolutely useless headcanon: every time Royce uses Flood it makes him a littke charged. He goes around giving static shocks to everyone
Also his hair fluffs up even more when he gets charged
He looks like a sheep
But his hair is already near peak floofiness. If he gets any floofier he could threaten Claire Augustus' status as Floofiest.
saiyan-levels of floof
Royce, super saiyan floof, charging Flood() up like a spirit bomb: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
@fast bane yOURE HERE
I've been here for a long time

I reside in Hades channels though
Cause that's what I play
SPRAY BOTTLE

im sure someone else has already brought this up, but something interesting i noticed while playing: when doing the tests in the backdoor, boxer refers to one as "lucky door number number four", which implies four is a lucky number in cloudbank vs traditional (western) three. just a little bit of world building i liked
pretty sure he also says "lucky number thirteen" when you hit level 13 XD
oh yeah he did
420 whatchu smokin- oh
its the homestuck number kdkdkd
BOXER READ HOMESTUCK
HE DID
Sibil: Hey, Boxer, I haven't seen Red lately. Is she doing alright?
Boxer: She's doing just fine, yeah. Caught a slight case of updog.
Sibil: What's updog?
***
Sibil: Hey Royce I have our next target
Boxer: playing megalovania on a kazoo
Red: please stop
Id so be red
bold of you to assume sybil wouldn't use the trick on royce
Or Grant with Roy backing her up
Boxer, singing softly to himself: Karkalicious, definition, make them boys go loco
I forget the actual lyrics to Karkalicious and can only remember Fergalicious right now
Damn Boxer
"What do you mean you're not coming to my tea party?! RED, I MADE B I S C U I T S!" - Sybil Reisz
its just ussss
@broken path i sense a gorilla
"Boxer read homestuck" is my new favourite headcanon
...now my mental audio sample for boxer switched to that fan voice actor for karkat...
yes you do
owo
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every Recursion, I want to touch Royce's hair
He'd let you if you asked nicely, but red doesn't have a voice to ask
Also she's angry
he does have nice hair tho...
tfw your SO has hair like that so you get to brag~
~use the time stop during turn() to touch royce's hair with the transistor~
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
gain the Shave() function and toss floofy haircuts at people
Is... His fluffy hair... Why Haircuts are a thing... Since Men are based on Royce...
Damn, one more thing to blame royce for
Imagine the hell of a bossfight Processed Royce would be.
I really am gonna figure out how to add other processes to the final boss
Royce + like 5 cheerleaders
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
Royce but rude
He could be ruder
... He could
Other than his first turn it was a fair fight
He didn't go full Sybil
What if royce had some really annoying passives equipped
Oh my god
Like bounce and ping
Royce but he has Bou- YEP
you can sort-of avoid stuff even while his turn is going off
Royce but he has Help as a passive and 25% of the time he goes super saiyan and instakills you
lol
@noble portal ive done that on accident
I do it regularly XD
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
You can jaunt out of his load attacks
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
He never used Load against me
he also has tiny soundbytes for when he misses 😛
He's got some funky load outs sometimee
He does?
You should see him with mask
tbh i thought he always has Flood, it wouldve been a nice touch
He def had it against me
His loadouts change every time he loses all his health
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
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
Oshdhf Royce, you mess
that's attention to detail right there XD
"Stop being so defensive, I'm just trying to hit you with weapons"
I've seen him with spark pretty consistently
He can't use help or switch for sure
I don't think he gets cull either that would've been cool
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
"Nothing perso- HOW DID YOU KNOW"
"IVE BEEN RUNNING THIS BUILD YEARS BEFORE YOU TOUCHED THE TRANSISTOR, KIDDO"
Backstab is soo good in this game
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
Damb rude
Also reading about Fairview makes me sad i didnt know it had woods and a sanctuary
Before being processed
Imagine Royce meditating
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
ayup
Did the asmr reddit like it?
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"
Hey red you're really killing my vibes by hitting me
Vibe check! Cull()
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"
lie on the ground and let the process earth reclaim me
Royce, pouring himself his tenth coffee: God is the Process and I'm recyclable organic matter
who has better hair: Red, Royce, Sybil or Grant?
Grant, his hair is beautiful!
Red.
sybil
I just love Red
Red's hairstyle is cool but I love Grant too much to deny him the loveeeeeee
🤔 toughie
Red! I have strong opinions on Red's hair being the best, best in her game, possibly in the top 10 video game hair ever 💖
boxer is overall cute
Supergiant: Let's have this HOT BRAWNY BUFF MAN
Us: HES ADORABLE
hotdorable
Grant
I love grant and I lowkey want to be him
HOT BRAWNY BUFF MEN ARE ADORABLE OKAY
mission successfully failed, sgg
mission successfully F A I L E D
I am a lady and I lowkey aspire to be even half the buff silver fox Grant is when I hit my 50s XD
Grant can bench press the whole camerata
I want grant to be my husband but at the smae time i passionately want him to stay with asher
god you're so legally valid
If you're taking Grant I'll take Asher
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
WE NEED MORE GRANT
Royce's Cell turns into a Fetch. He names it Sol
Sol(iam)
Also a thought - it turns into a jerk and starts picking royce up just like roy did to it when it was a cell
lmao
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
noooo that's so sweet DX
Its sitting in his labcoat pocket now. Or on his head
Especially when he's trying to sound important
nOOOOO
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
guys this is too wholesome pls stahp
HOW WOULD THEY NOT MAKE HOM PURE
^
it looks weird oVERALL I CANT IMAGINE TATTED BOXER
he's the type to get a cat on a skateboard tatoo
nooooo
XD
I love how dedicated this server is to mr. nobody's appearance even though we only see the back of his head
tattoo ring
Yesssss
What if it's something to commemorate meeting red?
Listen guys i need to put a tattoo hc on at least one character in any fandom i enter or i will die of deprivation. None of the others kinda fit
https://i.pinimg.com/736x/e7/8d/22/e78d22989d8ebeb695569cc8e55bdc5f.jpg
finger tattoos probably hurt like hell to get though
You have my attention
Not sure what it would be, but I'll bet it's something well thought out and meaningful
Yess
Maybe political too
Grant: 
reds tattoo, but after transistor: I microphone, but the stand is like the bottom of a proccess cell, and the music coming out is litle transistors
Red: tattoos
Royce: hands permanently full of dots and lines from pens and markers
She could also have one of those group art things like the people who have single words from a poem each
Royce: can i have the swear word. Please. It shows how i feel inside
what the swear word is for: expletives DARN YOU COMPUTER JUST L O A D
actually wait. royce gets tattoos as a marker of permanance
begin the city's stability with himself
he has a process do it for him the old fashioned way and it goes rogue and draws a bunch of boxes
Royce: you know what.
Royce:
Royce: it's aesthetic.
he gets like. architectural drafts of cloudbank's buildings
they shift like cloudbank does
he has a tattoo that reads 𝓌𝒽𝑒𝓃 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒸𝒽𝒶𝓃𝑔𝑒𝓈, 𝓃𝑜𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒸𝒽𝒶𝓃𝑔𝑒𝓈 on his arm
in that font
Am i supposed to see boxes
no, it's a cursive handwritten style typeface
Cursive is hard to read for me, sometimes.
Tbh I like that better
SHAHDUF
Boxer: Ah my package came in!
Boxer: opens the box
Boxer: throws the contents out
Boxer: sits in the box
omg wholesome
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
It will always find you, like it's written in the stars. You can run but you can't hide, try.
id say the rest is history, but that's not quite the case
How dare you paper boats me
plays Vanishing Point on Spotify
the title of the song glitches out and vanishes
fear.jpg
Hc that Royce has been disqualified from beach volleyball before because he got way too into it and turned the ball into a Flood sphere
lmao
Now that was a Royceslam
sword-
us, remembering ALL the old transistor memes:
There are transistor memes? All i know is that royce is the target
OH RIGHT ROYCESLAM IS ONE OF THEM IM DUMB.
The gorillaz demon days cover except its the camerata and its just labeled 'A VERY BAD DAY'
I'm envisioning that and giggling
lmao
Hold on
I terminated the process in one turn why does it take it as a loss
Nvm gottem
Also now the men im up against arent moving
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
Uh oh
uh oh.
I wonder if you could pass the save to someone who could beat the section with the limiters for you
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
You don't have any other functions that deal any damage?
Flood should break shield...
Shields have like 1 health
Oh ok
Mask can make pulling stuff off a lot easier though
Do you have the faster cell respawn limiter on also?
Good luck
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
