somehow Blank Canvas gets me more emotional than Paper Boats

maybe because I know what's about to happen...

calm jackal
#

Yeah blank canvas good

#

What about cut apart tho

pulsar lily
#

hummed Blank Canvas

lusty raft
#

Never heard blank canvas favorite is before we all become one

#

Sorry we all become

calm jackal
#

Blank canvas plays right at the end of the game and it's super memorable

lusty raft
#

We all become one is brilliant

#

3rd favorite song ever made

#

Only 2 better than it are both memorable because there amazing and from amazing anime lol

echo sedge
#

Cut apart cuts deep. Definitely captures the mood.

little pagoda
#

Yeah that one hurts

#

Old Friends also really captures the mood

#

But my favourite has to be Gateless

atomic wraith
#

We all become was always my favorite

#

In terms of the ones with vocals i love The Spine the most

#

Just finished Transistor after 6 years of owning it

#

Love everything but the story is so confusing

high dawn
#

You should watch that one superbunnyhop video discussing the story if you don't want to dig deep into it yourself

#

Not able to find the link right now, but it should be pretty easy to just google

little pagoda
#

Hey its fine

#

I also didnt get it the first time around

#

Took me a fair bit of ng+ and a lot of talks w friends who had played it to understand it

calm jackal
#

The transistor, what can it do, what can it really do

#

It can... build a bridge

#

That's it actually

does the game has varying art depending on what youve ordered?

Anyone else think it wouldve been funny if red had fallen off the process swarm thing she rides to go to the empty set after finding grant & asher

Like shes literally standing on flies or something

Or were these like little birds

#

Do you guys think

#

Someone in the camerata

#

Tried to surf on process before

#

Also i never got why was this Red's first thought. How she came up w this.

sees a tank full of the monsters that have been trying to kill her the entire game

LETS RELEASE THEM IM SURE THEY'LL UH, BE A BOAT

#

AND WONT KILL ME

full peak
#

this game reminds me of what the internet is becoming right no

#

every word getting moderated

#

the thought police acting strong

#

people avoiding certain conversation topics like the plague

#

gotta love the future

#

as everything gets automated and the masses stay dumb and innofensive

calm jackal
#

I imagined censorship to be a stronger theme in transistor, because of the trailer

#

But they don't really do much with the idea

#

Yeah, sometimes red doesn't say anything that would get her comment filtered, but the more pressing issue is killer robots

little pagoda
#

^

full peak
#

yup, just finished it, felt the whole thing with it died half way though and then the game just focused on the process

echo sedge
#

I'm not sure if it was even the point. I believe it was the Camerata who would be censoring her anti-Camerata messages, and the Camerata was a secret group. That doesn't have that much to do with censorship as much as the Camerata just removing traces.

calm jackal
#

They do kill a journalist at some point

echo sedge
#

Well, they kill all sorts of influential people. Killing a singer could be seen the same.

calm jackal
#

I think it's canon that they kill him for looking into the murders? I forget

echo sedge
#

It's likely. But the again - they're covering the tracks.
Idk, it doesn't sound completely like censorship to me because censorship is usually the government trying to hide information. And while Grant was an administrator, the Camerata were trying to overtake Cloudbank. Censorship would be more like them supressing information when they're already in charge of Cloudbank...

#

Well, it's playing with words really. Just my thoughts

#

Like criminals trying to cover the tracks vs government limiting the flow of information

little pagoda
#

Camerata actually meowdered multiple people for knowing too much

full peak
#

First of all, how dare you?

pulsar lily
#

are you saying asher's cat did the kills

little pagoda
#

nah, it was royce in cat ears. next

pulsar lily
#

asher's cat is a precious cinnamon roll, i won't stand for this slander

full peak
#

Nah. I bet Sibyl actually called the hits in.

#

No, wait, they did them as a group, apparently, which is terrifying in a very anime way.

little pagoda
#

there were people they killed for like, being on their tail, like Henter, Lilian and Bailey (i think?), Wave also maybe

#

then some that just....,,,, pulled a madlad move and walked right in

#

yes this is a Shomar and Preston callout

echo sedge
#

Has anyone tried to hold the mouse button while riding the process swarm...? You're not... surfing...

little pagoda
#

wh

echo sedge
#

Btw I feel like sometimes people take everything that is being said too seriously. For example Boxer saying that "process must like it here more than where it came from". I've read someone claim (or even wiki?) that the process comes from a different reality which it doesn't like. Like, nope. It's just a phrase. I can't see it having greater meaning than Boxer just making a commentary. Especially because the process has always been in the Cloudbank, just more behind the scenes.

little pagoda
#

isnt it also mentioned that they feel safer and more at home when everything is processed

echo sedge
#

Tbh I've always understood the process processing everything as just it resetting everything to default

little pagoda
#

I think that's how it kinda works?

#

Factory settings

proper stirrup
#

looks familiar

echo sedge
#

Hmmm, it looks like they took inspiration from Transistor but went in their own direction with it. I just wonder why they had to make it so balantly obvious in the logo.

#

It doesn't really resemble Transistor past the computer terminology.

man, i tried to run this game again after a couple hundfred hours inside Hades and it just did not feel good XD

the soft "Hey." always crushes me

There was so little said but there was so much emotion

#

This voice is like a treat for the heart

#

i feel like i could melt every time i hear it

#

feeling the same with zagreus' voice tho

proper stirrup
#

I need to get back and actually finish transistor

#

I'm convinced that SGG has it out for my old computer

#

because it died right before I finished Bastion, it died right before I finished Transistor and then the mobo died right before I finished Pyre and I had to get a new rig entirely

#

hades hasn't murdered this computer though

#

yet

feral raptor
#

I've played Transistor roughly three times, I think. I enjoy that the game gets harder a second time and that you have access to everything rather than "you gotta do ALL of that over again. But harder."

#

I enjoy Red.

#

and I wouldn't be surprised if it's because she has red hair.

autumn stag
#

Something's been bugging me since I played the game

#

The Country

#

is that symbolism of the afterlife outside of the city?

#

Whenever they mentioned the country, everyone spoke about it in this strange, hushed tone like it was an afterlife they have a vague understanding of. They know what it is and how to get there, but everyone's tone suggested that if they went, they can never come back to the city because it was impossible to

#

I went through the whole game just accepting that it was where the people went after death, but I never really looked deeper than that

full peak
#

I'm not sure SGG ever put out anything concrete, but that's the popular interpretation.

upbeat sky
#

Another interpretation is that Cloudbank is The Matrix, and The Country is in fact Real Life™️

#

Everything in Cloudbank looks kinda digital, and the city can apparently be altered at will (“sky looks blue ‘cause we want it to”)

echo sedge
#

There's also the possibility that there is not Real Life™️ in the world of Cloudbank

finite wigeon
#

For me, the design of the Country makes me think about Portal 2 ending... More than afterlife, it's a sensation of relief and freedom atfer a long and hard journey, a conclusion that typically says "there's always light at the end of the tunnel"

echo sedge
#

The Country is where people of Cloudbank go when they retire, they see it as a real place. Whether it's the same as the place in Transistor or the one with the trace banks is unknown.

#

It seems like a lot of stuff is referred to as "the country", all of it has something to do with someone leaving Cloudbank. For good.

little pagoda
#

There is also Boxer wanting to get out of the city at the start

#

and Red singing aout wanting to move to the country

echo sedge
#

But then you also hear about the people at the edge of the city being stuck.

final helm
#

Red sings about a lot of... deep lore. I think one has to headcanon one's way around it one way or another, but her singing about the country strikes me as less weird than her singing about the spine of the world, for one...?

Transistor on my Xbox, PC and Switch

#

Bastion on PC and Switch

#

how many copies , I dont care haha

native elk
#

Transistor on my PC and iPad

#

Bastion on my PC and iPad

#

so I can play while sitting and play while on bed

granite pivot
#

I wonder why Transistor and Bastion are not Apple Arcade games

#

or Im wrong? dont have Apple Products at all but never heard about it

native elk
#

you're right.

#

they are not on Arcade.

#

somehow

granite pivot
#

Well i can play in bad too, on Switch ::)

native elk
#

pikaLUL only downside being im not good at touch screen control with bastion

#

my poor tiny hands

granite pivot
#

doesnt new OS update support gamepads?

native elk
#

yeah, but not all of the gamepads

#

xbox one S, PS4 so far so good

#

Xbox elite 1st and 2nd gen NOPE

#

dunno bout switch controller

granite pivot
#

Elites doesnt even work on PC without special adapter

#

its so custom input signal

native elk
#

2nd gen works without adapter so ive heard. i'm waiting for my new controller to be delivered.

#

1st gen needs a adapter and the 1st adapter is horrifyingly large.

drowsy bolt
#

Here's a link to an image of how to visually tell the difference

#

(Oh good I wasn't sure if it would preview)

native elk
#

wow thx

merry phoenix
#

I never knew Transistor had such troubled development initially

echo sedge
#

Very interesting video I must say. And a lot of stuff that has been hinted about the evolution of the game has finally clicked.

merry phoenix
#

The part about wanting to do Cyberpunk without the "low life" aspect of it was quite interesting

granite pivot
#

'we need to do love story in sci-fi with demonic sword- it will fail'
Jen : hold my beer haha

little pagoda
#

oh my god guys boxer has eyes

merry phoenix
#

Because it is true that Cyberpunks most striking visual elements, the big bright neon light are quite the stark contrast to the most striking narrative elements, which are darker and grimier

#

I guess there is no real term for that kinda cyberpunk

#

Maybe "Neon Punk" is fitting

gentle aspen
#

I know what I’m doing tonight. I’m going to replay Transistor. Man, it’s been years since I played it. Going to enjoy every minute of it.

merry phoenix
#

Man that part about fearing how Transistor would go, and wishing it would be some peoples favourite hit me hard

little pagoda
#

Think the neon stuff is classic cyberpunk

merry phoenix
#

Turns out it wasnt just some peoples favourite game of yours, it was a lot of peoples favourite game period

#

And for some it still is

#

Cough cough

gentle aspen
#

I didn’t figure out the point of forum terminals until the Spine section. And man did it HIT hard

merry phoenix
#

But yeah, the noclip doc was quite interesting

#

To think that such a perfect game had such troubles being made at the start

gentle aspen
#

“I’m going to find whatever is doing this to you and rip out its heart”

#

Or something along those lines

native elk
#

the whole story hits me hard...

gentle aspen
#

The ending though... T__T

native elk
#

altho kinda tragical. but also a fitting end

gentle aspen
#

I didn’t like the ending but it fit

native elk
#

yeah exactly that

gentle aspen
#

I appreciated it more when I stepped back from the game and started thinking in hindsight

native elk
#

I want happy end but things don't always end up HE tho.

#

gotta deal with it.

gentle aspen
#

It was a happy ending though... in a roundabout way

native elk
#

was just focusing on gameplay but slowly the story kinda drains me.

gentle aspen
#

Bittersweet as it was

native elk
#

yeah

gentle aspen
#

Now I know everything I wonder if I’ll be able to appreciate the subtle stuff more

native elk
#

I need to focus on the beach and the ball.

#

really gets me super hard the first time

empty goblet
#

haven't watched the video yet but transistor's aesthetics remind me of mirror's edge which is also kinda cyberpunk-y

granite pivot
#

Maybe Visually, the story is no near to be even similar hah

echo sedge
#

Mirror's edge is a lot more white though. I get very different vibes from both.

queen ivy
#

Transistor takes more focus on the bluey cozy night with eventually almost perfectly shaped things with color of white more tbh, but even at the end it feels more different to say. It had much modern feeling than Transistor, while as in video it was said it took more style of 20s century.

echo sedge
#

There's an interesting contrast from that point of view IMO.
Trna has a lot of hitech stuff but feels like 20th century.
Mirror's Edge on the other hand looks like a 21th century supercity but at the same time doesn't really have sci-fi vibes? Very modern, yes, but not sci-fi. At least from what I've seen, I haven't played the game.

like is that. is that a height comparison between him and red

#

down there

he's Big

im distressed

elder prairie

abslutely LOVE how his coat design reflects the process with the eye on the back

i like how we got concepts of his big funky tv too

are the concept drawings shown in the video available anywhere for download? blobeyes

royce is a tall skinny kid, legend

pulsar lily

I for one appreciate the height difference

twin summit
#

so, how tall is he exactly

light gate
#

About hella tall'

near wagon
#

does other people feel his height a bit unfair

#

how can you be a nerd and tall

#

made me jealous, excellent design choice

light gate
#

Cower before the talls, potentially short one!

undone warren
#

ok but like...transistor concept artbook when?

twin summit
#

tall nerds are the cutest greatest

elder prairie
#

he's tall AND he's kind of got muscle on him

#

in the scene where boxer gets stabbed by the transistor, royce is standing with the rest and he's amazingly broad-shouldered

inland mirage
#

haven't finished watching the noclip doc but that spine art at 6:26 looks so cool

undone warren
#

Really interesting that the boxer was going to be the main character for a bit. Would have been a totally different feeling game

inland mirage
#

especially with those "spirits"

One of them looked kinda like royce

elder prairie
#

especially no.16 with the cigarette HAS to be a very very very early proto-royce before royce was even a concept

wintry verge
#

For a hot second i thought that TV-royce concept under the numbered ones had guns

#

Imagine red killing the process left and right with the power of love and that sword she found and a floating television showing some random guy decides thats enough and starts blasting

queen ivy
#

Thanks, now I can't get out of my head Royce going "so anyway I started blasting"

little pagoda
#

I havent watched the video yet, didnt have the time, what are those spirits meant to be?

lusty raft
#

Idk

patent marsh
#

the original antagonist, i think

#

we werent given an explanation

lusty raft
#

That would be my guess

queen ivy
#

More as original protagonist

patent marsh
#

the boxer was the og protag, the spirits arent

queen ivy
#

He was going to be a boxer who has a ghost buddy friend tag along with him to find out more about his missing girlfriend singer.

oh my god. Royce’s shoes. Finally the proof they have red tips and I’m not imagining

I love his pose in the last one

So extra

Is it me or is his left hand wrong in the last pose? 👀 . It looks like the thumb is turned up and yet it is in the front and not in the back (that is, if it is his thumb)

#

@echo sedge if you mean the one where he's littering flicking a cigarette away, then i don't think so?

#

Royce, a villain for littering

Ah right! Now that you've outlined the fingers I can see how the hand is rotated.

i love how in the sassy pose the transistor eye overlays his head...........its so neat

supergiant said i'm gonna make every single one of my protags short kings & queens

#

the kid: small compared to the majority of humans in the game
red: see above
the reader: if the group shot at the end of the game is a good indicator of the characters' height then they seem to be pretty small

nova ravine
#

uh oh
i just killed royce's proxy with Void( purge() )

#

i don't think that's supposed to be possible

little pagoda
#

Now I know we said its ugly but isnt that a little extreme

cedar grove
#

HH..

#

omg

#

is it just gone

nova ravine
#

it's gone but royce can still talk

#

and the first enemy to spawn has the invincibility armor graphic the proxy has but isn't actually invincible

hot tree
#

im so in hades mode i was about to say 'sounds like an f10

cedar grove
#

lmao yeah..

nova ravine
#

I think the invincibility armor graphic is just automatically placed on the enemy in slot 1 or whatever
because it moves to a different enemy after the one it's on dies

cedar grove
#

That is so strange, I’ve tried so much but I think I never actually succeeded to kill him?

#

which sounds like I hate Royce lol, but no I just played this game a lot

#

I like doing all kinds of funky stuff

#

If you had void and purge..... I will try that

nova ravine
#

the full function was Void calling Purge and Crash, if that ends up mattering

calm jackal
#

i think i was running switch(purge, crash) back in the day

#

didnt run into this

#

there are some weird combinations you can make to break things

little pagoda
#

I know I broke things with Switch but I don't remember what else i had on it, breach maybe?

#

Turned the whole attack into a graphicless black line.

Aight makes sense. Another game over for humanity

patent marsh

game over is pretty apt because if red and her man didnt quite die then others might not have either. if not all, then perhaps some, depending on how they died

dusky echo
#

I came here just to spread a warning of something I've come across

#

Depending on which functions you choose, once you reach the second backdoor, if you do the Stability Test last, you will softlock the game

wintry verge
#

guess the stability test isnt so stable, eh

dusky echo
#

As in, there will be no access point in cloudbank, there will be an encounter with 4 enemies, and all you'll have is Charm, Mask and Jaunt

#

In addition, because you will have left a backdoor, it will have saved

#

This is over 1 hour of progress lost

#

That is my warning

#

fyi only solution is to start from the beginning of the game again

elfin wagon
#

I was replaying Transistor recently (haven't played in several years) and oh man it still upholds very nicely

#

I love it so much, frankly.

#

On my 2nd recursion, thinking about getting a bit further tomorrow. The ps4 version if anyone needs to know-- also one of my favourite parts is that it seems to be the only game that really really uses the PS4 controller speaker and lightbar in a way that's entertaining

#

The light bar has like varying degrees of "lighting up" when the Transistor talks to you

#

And it isn't just a lazy "Turn brighter for the entire duration of Transistor speaking" it seems like it actually... like... it lights up/down according to the volume. Like it flashes how it does in-game. When you're looking at the Transistor and he speaks, the model seems also have varying degrees of light. It mimic the model getting brighter/darker that pretty much perfectly.

#

I like that. Feels a bit more immersive. Andddd look at me ramble to no-one-in-particular.

muted spear
#

well that was interesting to read

#

i dont have a ps4 so its really interesting that they did that, maybe i could fix some speakers with light to do the same :) i so love transistor, is the first game from supergiant i saw but i decided to start with bastion

#

its a bit too short and lack a bit of story, it always seemed like just a portion of all the story that it could have been deeper, but love all the arts so i was happy to read that was coming back in hades

elfin wagon
#

I do agree. it was pretty short

muted spear
#

plus the soundtraks, all of them, all the games, the music is amazing

elfin wagon
#

Oh man yeah the soundtrack gives me damn shivers

#

It's encouraged me to go outta my way to buy a bluetooth headset or something so I can listen on my walks outside

#

Absolutely stunning voice, to be honest. Really powerful.

muted spear
#

i like the idea of what they did, main character that lost her voice and it was the sword that talked

#

pretty unic

#

im so fangirling now XDDDDDD

elfin wagon
#

I loved that honestly. I love the absolute concept of the Transistor (the blade)

#

I do tend to make the odd one-or-two OCs, so I think I'll make something like that. I got someone into playing Transistor recently.

#

i gifted bastion to my best friend a wile back and he still hasnt played it -.-'' im losing hope :C

If there's one thing I've learned is that you can never get someone to play by constant pestering. I'm sure they'll get around to it eventually.

#

If they ever get to a point where they're bored out of their mind and announce it to other peeps, encourage them to play a game they haven't played before that they have.

probably, i dont, he just told me yesterday that he hasnt started it XD

well i gonna try hades, wish me luck :P

I recommended Transistor to a friend, and luckily he had started it, but I'm not sure he is into it? I gush about all of the games, so I'm probably annoying him hahaha >__>;

Maybe its just because I came there to destress but can i just say that the Agency arena is beautiful as hell
Thought the red tint was sinister at first and i mean it kinda is but it like, gives off vibes of a setting sun somewhere far away like
Like its almost set? Theres not the oranges and yellows anymore, just the reds and purples and grays
And i never noticed that the sand like, literally sparkles

Not sure if Recursion is really canon. In case it isn't it's more of an easter-egg, it's shocking and very fitting at the same time.

Thinking about it, canon recursion would fit the "it's Transistors all the way down" idea, that Cloudbank is inside a Transistor and that a new Cloudbank is built in the country. Because why recursion and not "new loop cycle"? It isn't really the same. Recursion implies that the new "loop" is started inside of the old one hmmm.

little pagoda
#

Also I'm pretty sure Roy's voice at the start of Recursion was like, to indocate that it's a loop. That things are not over, that they are not getting away with it, are they-

#

Transistors all the way down you just keep digging and theres more swords

echo sedge
#

In this case it's more like you keep stabbing yourself x)

little pagoda
#

NO

#

No stabbing

#

Also i now approve of Spark because last night my Agency clone absolutely wrecked me w it

#

Supergiant really do love their loops don't they

yup

reminds me of that cat meme like
Brother, may i have some lööps?

and greg's like "oh you're gonna get so many lööps"

dude i kinda wish recursion was more indepth tho

the "hey red" comment from royce made me think hed be like

a consistent part of incursion and bits of the campaign would actually change from the original

was kinda sad when nothing new wqs happening

i'll go to my death wishing recursion had royce snarking at you the whole time from inside the sword

no, they talk over each other and then get mad

wispy stratus

No they talk in perfect unison by the end of a thought

consider: each recursion also adds another boxer

#

they go drunk at random times

wispy stratus

So then the sober boxer is incredibly embarrassed?

this is why we can have functions twice

then i have cold pizza

what if you save a few slices and give them to royce because he hasnt eaten for the whole day most likely

If you start eating it while waiting for the next one it should be warm enough

tbh i cant decide if i like the thought od him having brown or blue eyes more

such a great doc

he's got red eye

i love dumb stuff like this

i once kinda glitched visuals

by using switch and ping i think

oh tap actually

its not much but its honest work

it looks like a black shoelace

or rather || a string ||

i'm on a roll with those transistor puns today

also - since i'm new here and i didn't get to talk about transistor all that much

#

shoutout to one of the best bossfights... ever made

calm jackal
#

"how about... me"

#

by using shielded cells and double cells, you could probably duplicate an infinite number of process

zenith beacon
#

nah
i'm actually talking about the Sybil fight

#

Royce was cool - don't get me wrong
great even

#

but it was more of a aPES2_Sweat moment

#

while Sybil was more of a aPES2_Sweat and PES_Hands moment, if you get what i mean

#

it had a bit more emotional oomph to it

#

and the fact that it comes so early in the game after that great cutscene with "we all become" makes it even more powerful

#

and the music in that bossfight just... UMF

#

😗👌

calm jackal
#

an umbrella has never dealt that much damage in a video game before

#

its funny how much easier sybil is in recursion because of all the options you have

zenith beacon
#

it did, actually
there's this HL1 mod called "they hunger" and in it you get an umbrella instead of a crowbar

#

and we all know how hyper-fast that thing can go when glitched

near wagon
#

man sybil...

#

"I've saved you!"

zenith beacon
#

i know, || Rite || ?

near wagon
#

song in the background: "I won't save you"

zenith beacon
#

that bossfight was the exact moment where i went "I gotta write a letter to the devs about this"

#

which i did right after finishing the game ||and crying for a bit PES_CryHands ||
it made such an impact on me - i've never seen, never felt anything like this before

near wagon
#

sybil had it coming though

#

she didn't save red, she destroyed red

#

if she had truly loved red, she'd just let them be happy

zenith beacon
#

did she now?
it's been a while since i played it, but afaik her role was to get the camerata closer to red

#

but i always thought she always had second thoughts about it and that's why she didn't tell the rest of camerata that the boxer is going to be there

#

i might be wrong tho - it's been a while

near wagon
#

her role in the camerata was indeed to lure targets, yet she still did that hoping that boxer would die so she could have red, or we can assume

#

but she died before more could be said and dead people aren't known to be loquacious

zenith beacon
#

wow that's a fancy word and a half

#

help me, google translate PES2_Detect

#

oh
it's not as fancy as i thought

#

anyway - i always imagined this whole kerfuffle being more grounded and mature

#

as in - yes, Sybil had some feelings to Red, but i always thought that Red was really polite about this whole thing like "sorry but i'm spoken for" sort of thing

#

and that Sybil wasn't throwing a childish temper tantrum about it, there's just...

#

you know - there's always a lot of conflicting emotions in moments like this - that's what might've led to misinformation about Red being - presumably - alone there

#

which she obviously wasn't and we all know the rest

#

but then again - the game is kinda vague about most of this (good) and it's been a while since i played it so all of this might just be my weird headcanon

near wagon
#

love hurts

zenith beacon
#

basically, yeah

#

serious talk now
knowing how... troublesome the development of this game was (thanks to that great noclip doc) i can't even begin to describe how glad i am this game turned out to be as good as it is

#

it's been 6 years and it's still in my top 3 - along with mirror's edge and... ||either silent hill 2 or bastion or undertale - all depending on my mood||

little pagoda
#

Hello here to say that even though i was confused through my first playthrough and didnt even know who sybil was at that point, I still felt the full emotional weight of that damn bossfight

zenith beacon
#

here's the thing
few years ago on i went back and stayed at my mom's place for few days during christmas

#

one evening i was kinda bored so i hooked up my laptop to her 55inch tv in the living room and fired up transistor || i kinda wanted to hear how it would sound like on a 5.1 surround system and it was just 😙 👌 || - it's such a comfy game for moments like that

#

and even though she doesn't speak english at all
and she absolutely despises video games

#

she still joined me and watched almost the whole thing
just enjoying the music and pretty pictures and stuff

#

and i bet she still would have something interesting to say about that one bit just from the tone of the entire scene

little pagoda
#

Yess

#

My mom is the same but I sent her some of the songs and she loved them

#

I bet she would like the scenery as well

zenith beacon
#

such a comfy game

little pagoda
#

yo like

#

there were so many times i had to stop

#

and appreciate what i was looking at

#

like there was a moment in fairview where i just went woah. okay. woah thats beautiful

#

and just spent a solid few minutes not progressing and staring at the scenery

#

(with apologies to proxy royce who had to wait through that entire sparkling eyes moment)

zenith beacon
#

thank god for that hum button peepoWew

full peak
#

dude i wish there were more games that had transistor's vibe :((

#

i love it so much

#

the whole fancy futuristic gist of it

little pagoda
#

also can i just say that all the bossfights were a+

#

like, Spine wasnt as good as the other two in terms of the actual fight (the fight was kinda underwhelming imo) but what lead up to it and the sequence after make up for that

#

sybil was godtier and royce was a lot of fun

#

and that fight was what made me start liking him as a character

#

who gets to go first?
how about... Me.

Transistor will probably remain one of my top rated games forever. The soundtrack, the story, the characters and game design...Everything was loveable. Everything to die for. I have trouble finding bad things about Transistor. I think there's one view you can get of Red's face that looks a tiny bit funny? That's it? But that's a thing in every game so uhhh.. Welp. Guess that means it's only a fantastic game. I wish I could relate in the way you guys did, and cry, and truly get sucked in like that... I envy how personally you could feel the game, and I suppose that's my own form of relation.
There's no doubt though, that despite feeling this envy for my lack of true connection, that it's left an impression. After all, you don't play through the game 3 or 4 times when you dislike it. And I totally second that Crail, the boss fights were phenomenal. Admittedly, I managed to find some pretty cheaty combinations so they were a bit easy (and I almost one shot The Spine 😅 ) but they were wonderful story telling experiences

#

Anyway I'm done ranting

little pagoda
#

Headcanon that royce is capable of a perfect villain laugh

gritty hull
#

*actual canon, thank you very much 😤 His voice actor just didn't wanna ruin it so didn't attempt it

little pagoda
#

we can connect the dots

#

you know what i feel like actually

#

every single main character except grant can do a full villain laugh

#

i think i saw like, a tumblr post of Royce's VA laughing but I don't think I could find it again

#

also hey

#

i was feeling like i wasnt immersed at the game, too

#

or like

#

that i didnt have as strong of a connection as i should have

#

but it arrived

#

it took a while

#

but it arrived and it arrived like a bag of bricks

gritty hull
#

Hahaha, maybe it'll happen for me someday, but it probably has a lto to do with that I feel things on a superficial level, not a proper emotional level. But that's okay. I still loved the ride it took me on

little pagoda
#

That's valid ^^

#

Also in terms of combinations i never figured out how good void is until recursion so lets just say the bosses were p intense for me xD

#

I took an umbrella and then a Flood directly to the face

gritty hull
#

Oooo yikesu desu. I believe I also suffered similar things but Jaunt with Spark usually let me avoid most of the attacks that Royce had for me

zenith beacon
#

fun fact
Royce softlocked my game on my first recursion failbag

gritty hull
#

Yeeeooouch. Rip you boo 😢
I also had an observation. Supergiant, you truly lover your boss patterns huh. In Hades, we have person, serpent, person. In Bastion, person, serpent, person (If I remember right. The bosses in Bastion are a bit fuzzy for me). In Transistor, Person, serpent, person. It's a good pattern that I have enjoyed, and I can't comment on Pyre yet, but still

zenith beacon
#

don't forget about lööps

#

they sure love their lööps

#

but hey - i'm not complaining

gritty hull
#

I'm not either! Just funny little commonalities

little pagoda
#

Can I just say, Royce using Breach and Crash is such a sassy move like

#

LET ME USE THE POWERS MY WEAPON CREATED OUT OF YOUR MISSING VOICE AND DEAD BOYFRIEND

#

AGAINST YOU

full peak
#

@gritty hull which combo u referring to?

#

i found one too that instakills all processes + most bosses in a single turn but that was 5 years ago

zenith beacon
#

It's probably something with void()

#

That thing is OP

gritty hull
#

Yeah it was to do with Void. I think it was Crash, then Mask, and then Breach, but the Breach was modified with another mask for that cripsy backstab damage. All I know is I got the achievement for 2048 damage in a hit/turn (whatever the achievement specifically is) and that fight was where it happened. It's been at least 2 or 3 years for me so I can't remember that well

#

@full peak

little pagoda
#

Wouldn't Cull deal more than Breach?

#

Also baclstabbing is pure bs and i love it

full peak
#

yea it had to do w backstab and void haha

#

i remember doing triplevoids

#

the game got boring because i just ended up waiting for turns then triplevoiding men then waiting for turns

little pagoda
#

Meanwhile im like

Imagine the distracted boyfriend meme but im the distracted boyfriend looking at making my ping look like shotgun shots instead of a broken void combo

I just love ping its just ATATATATTATATATATATATATTAA

#

... Is that Roy behind Red in the server picture

pulsar lily
#

I didn't have cull() on my first playthrough, so the Spine and Royce were intense. shadefear

little pagoda
#

Oh big mood

#

I remember Spine was o k a y but i honestly just had my dog bark a LOT while i was hiding behind the barriers

#

BUT ROYCE WAS INTENSE ALRIGHT

pulsar lily
#

and then on the second go, cull()+void() just destroyed everything

little pagoda
#

The difference in intensity of the bossfights:
Royce: COME HERE YOU LITTLE-
Sybil: NO! NO! NO! NO! GET AWAY FROM ME! NO! NO!

most unbalanced couple of functions in the entire game tbh

Im trying to avoid using them

can someone remind me what those functions do again?

cull void breach and crash

Cull hits really hard

Cull: THATS A LOT OF DAMAGE

Cull does a ton of damage single target
Void can triple taken damage

Crash is stun+damage and breach is ranged piercing damage

Breach is a long ranged projectile that knocks things back

Imo the most op thing is tap with load. Pair that with void and you clear half of the field in one turn

Actually I don't know if Turn() works when stunned or not

I don't think royce uses crash() on you 🤔

little pagoda
#

He can use crash i think

#

But also multiplayer could get messy due to the nature of Turn()

Me, who didnt press spacebar fast enough: waiting for the other player to make up their mind and stop cancelling their functions before finally killing me

Because idk about yall but i always go through like 2735 moves, then backtrack, then cancel them altogether and use turn a few secs later

holy shrimp my progress has been saved this whole time

according to steam my last game was january 2016

#

4 years

#

this is amazing

#

would someone mind jogging my memory a bit?

#

which functions can we use while waiting for a turn()

patent marsh
#

jaunt and things upgraded with jaunt

queen ivy
#

Yea

full peak
#

cool cool

#

which function does the highest overall damage btw?

queen ivy
#

Dog as aspect gives you a random chance to get KILL() and it basically does 400 damage flat in a small area. But it takes an entire turn and you can't do anything else, not even move Red.

full peak
#

huh?

#

u can move her tho

#

i just did it haha

#

and what about the basic functions?

#

im assuming cull does the most damage but idk if my memory serves me right

queen ivy
#

Oh really? Then I remember it wrong then lol.
Dog as an ability basically spawns dog that does Bite() which has it's own hp pool of 300 and does 20-30 per bite, but it goes away after some time. If I recall right.

little pagoda
#

Mask can be also used when Turn is recharging

damn i just tested that out

thanks for that dude dope

Depends on whether you use the limiter that blocks memory or not

#

If not then I suppose it shouldn't be that hard to build a loadout that works well without Turn();

#

Makes me think, has anyone tried jaunt + get to bring everyone to one place, then probably crash + crash + load for long aoe stun and then whatever does the most damage. Though it's probably terrible against Men

Nothing really

As far as I know

It's only meant to vaguely look like words but not to be readable

if they dont its a lost opportunity

community polls that are like "should royce fortnite dance for 3 hours straight" where he complains in the comments and everyone replies with "maybe if you streamed ÌÕMPÆØĖ" with red fancams

if you dont plan murder are you a real stan 😤

zenith beacon
#

i can't stand not knowing that that means

rare moth
#

oh stanning is sort of a word for being a superfan but with more of an emphasis on actively promoting them wherever possible! so like stanning a band is like putting videos of them under everyone's random tweets etc

#

to me anyway the distinction feels like being a fan means enjoying and being a stan means being a walking ad for it? thats what ive noticed anyway, might be incorrect 😅

zenith beacon
#

so i guess it stands to reason we're all a bit like that

Here's a question for everyone. Has there been a skill with upgrades that crashed the game? Cuz...I have experienced that. It was too powerful...too dangerous

little pagoda
#

I didnt get the pun at first so i thought yall are making jojo references with boxer being red's stand

zenith beacon
#

@dusky tapir BEHOLD

#

GameCrash()

dusky tapir
#

AHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD

#

MY EYES

#

I was gonna say that Load, with Bounce, and (i THINK) Spark as upgrades, in a heavy Process area caused my PS4 to lag so hard. Didn't help that I had limiters on. There was a youtuber that had the same exact problem. It was wild.

gritty hull
#

Holy- OH GOD

#

That's amazing

#

I know that on the laptop I used to play on it would struggle a bit if I spammed Jaunt, because the Jaunt I had also had Sparks, or Impact depending on my mood, so it would get a little rough

little pagoda
#

Mine lags a little when a lot of shielded cells spawn

gritty hull
#

Yeah true

little pagoda
#

Just got Risk by spamming Tap over and over because for some reason the game only spawned cheerleaders with no one for them to support

#

i forgot but how do u implement a new save file?

#

i wanna make an easy save file for when i wanna replay the royce and sybil fights

dusky tapir
#

In the main menu (Resume, restart, etc) there is Profile. That has save files. I mean, I never replayed the game from scratch, but I think that is how it works

full peak
#

cant :((

#

clicking that creates a new profile in a new game

#

no othrr option but to do that too

dusky tapir
#

Hmm well, that's a shame

full peak
#

ayyt im done

#

the whole thing

#

damn that was a journey

#

feels so fresh considering i havent touched the game in so long

dusky tapir
#

Yayyy!

zenith beacon
#

oh man
i'm gonna play the heck out of this game this weekend

#

i wonder how many lööps i can hit in just two days

little pagoda
#

Turns out Transistor calms me down when I'm anxious

#

Gonna keep that in mind

zenith beacon
#

same
uuuuuuuntill royce pops up

#

then i go from peepoWew
to ppusweat

little pagoda
#

what do you mean he's also calming

#

....until he's chasing after you with a sword and all you hear is a bassline

zenith beacon
#

well... i mean...
he's kinda cute

#

and i really like his voice

little pagoda
#

Oh my god i

zenith beacon
#

but then he says "how about... me?"

little pagoda
#

Okay im

#

Im recording it

#

I booted up the game

zenith beacon
#

and it's like... gilmanangst

little pagoda
#

And the ambient sounds the acess points make

#

Synchronized perfectly with Heightmap playing in the background

#

And it sounds dope

zenith beacon

wait what was that

i saw something but didn't read it in time

'it sounds dope' but with a swear word

Headcanon thats i've talked about to Prem but y'all deserve it because it's cute: if Royce could use Help(), his doggo would be called Apollo to go with Luna

First thought was Solaris but I really like Apollo it's cuter

God but i am so happy they actually love Royce as much as we do

#

mr aloof weirdo

elder prairie
#

royce is terribly endearing and sunkrish's va work really makes him so powerful as a character

#

the fact that like. 30 minutes of character time in game and using that to make him into a fully-fleshed and intriguing character is just masterful

dusky tapir
#

truth

jolly radish
#

i would die to hear sunkrish bala in another supergiant role ngl. his performance in transistor was absolute fire

little pagoda
#

I would sell my soul for Sunkrish to read a few lines like Royce would

elder prairie

sunkrish has REAL TALENT it's so amazing

Cave Johnson talk but with Royce instead of Rucks

royce would actively support his methods but not his reasons

#

I made the Camerata into a group of antagonists (but not villains, which created tension) in an old RPG game. The Royce analogue was the one that most consistently pissed the party off haha

#

so

#

mission accomplished?

subtle garden
#

Starting my 3rd recursion! Any limiters you guys suggest?

patent marsh
#

All of them

full peak
#

I think Sibyl is a villain, full-stop.

calm jackal
#

all of em, so you can say youve done it

#

afterwards, I'd say all except the one where you overload when changing functions, and maybe the mem limit

#

those are really the least fun

little pagoda
#

Those are monsters ahxhf

#

Shielded cells can also mess you up

hot tree
#

yeah those two are deeply unfun

#

shielded cells are a pain but if you run jaunt(purge) that really helps

#

passive damage over time outside of turn

#

jaunt(purge, help) is my favorite

#

really high mem though so don't overload

dusky tapir
#

You get an achievement if you use all limiters for 5 fights. It was scary, but if you have the right skills, it is....not as scary lol

little pagoda
#

i use ping(jaunt) or tap(jaunt) for shieled cells

obtuse tundra
#

Transistor is 3.99$ on GOG

pulsar lily
#

I had fun with jaunt(spark)

calm jackal
#

Best part of recursion is that you don't have to choose between sparkjaunt and jauntspark

#

You can run both!

full peak
#

What's the max number of each Function you can get?

calm jackal
#

2

#

Which is disappointing

wintry verge
#

how is it disappointing it's already plenty of fun

calm jackal
#

Could be more

#

Could be 16

full peak
#

I want Cull(Void, Void), okay?

#

Hit Royce four times and finish the game.

little pagoda
#

okay but

#

Royce: Let's just get this over wi- what are you doing.

#

Red, with a total of 16 floods: SQUARE UP ITS STOP HITTING YOURSELF TIME

full peak
#

yaa dude

#

honestly i think void is overtuned

#

it does way too much for such a low cost

dusky tapir
#

Yes. And it is beautiful

full peak
#

whats the highest maximum damage u can do to a single unit in a single turn again?

#

im imaigning its gotta involve crash mask void and cull

#

hmm

#
  • crash()
  • mask(void,mask)
  • void(crash)
  • cull(cull,void)
#

crash + void + void + void + mask + cull

#

i cant think of anything that would deal more damage than that

little pagoda
#
  • make it Cull (void, load)
#

Oh the joy of having two voids

#

I swear to god Asher did so much for us

full peak
#

load would be better than another cull?

little pagoda
#

I dont have two culls yet so i dont really know

full peak
#

fudge dude i wish there were more speed/defense related functions

#

stuff like jaunt and mask

#

like idk

little pagoda
#

Bounce in passive

#

Switch

#

Crash

full peak
#

imagine a function that created a couple of fake copies of red that would distract people

#

whats bounce in passive?

little pagoda
#

Gives you a shield

full peak
#

yeah stuff like that would be dope

#

but as a function

little pagoda
#

There are some combinations that do make copies of you

full peak
#

yeah but its very very limited

little pagoda
#

I don't remember which ones

full peak
#

its umm

little pagoda
#

Heh, limited

#

Ayyy

full peak
#

fudge i forgot

#

oh wait jk its switch

little pagoda
#

so basically we want

#

SHADOW JUTSU

full peak
#

whats that?

#

but like u get me stuff that doesnt immediately kill processes

little pagoda
#

Naruto clone thing shdhduf

full peak
#

like jaunt or mask

#

heck even a function that makes u like

#

invulnerable for 1 second

#

super niche

little pagoda
#

Get on this Camerata, kill more people so we can have more functions

full peak
#

i wish we could mod the game

#

id do it myself if i could

#

with the art and hte lore and all

#

by do it myself i mean pay someone to do it for me then take all the credit

little pagoda
#

You know what i wish we could do even if it would be stupid

#

Be able to upgrade a function with 2 of the same function

full peak
#

hahahahaha

little pagoda
#

the ultimate moon moon of an ability

full peak
#

thatd be dope actually

#

what happens if you mix breach with breach again?

little pagoda
#

It bounces off walls

full peak
#

does it just make a shotgun that shoots shotguns

#

huh?

#

breach is the tripleping attack right

little pagoda

Breach is the long range attack
