yeah i figured that. i listened to the raw audio some more and it sounds like it's a combination of tuning and two separately pitched tracks of the same audio
or i guess one if you have a vst that does that
thank you for your advice!!
no prob man
I'm no audio expert I'm just a nerd
the double pitch sounds super likely
cause that would also be in line with the process taking away the self
man I've got ALL this dialogue I wanna share with you guys but it's like... a lot. And it's a fic wip so I don't think it's really the bets thing to post in #fan-works
I just wanna gush, I love writing really charged dialogue
I just got transistor for free from a friend, but I’m not sure when it saves?
I noticed the save icon appeared once I entered one of those upgrade points, but then once I quit and opened the game again later it didn’t seem to have saved?
In theory it saves every time you change areas and after using an Access Point
so is there a way to get my hands on a red vinyl figure anymore
or am i just out of luck
think we're out of luck unfortunately
😦
The original thing was like $30 and the resells on ebay are like $150
don't think i'll be getting one smh
There were figures. Aww I wish I got some
That's sick
If anyone has a 3d printer they could print their own figurine
And paint it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Are there figurines for their other games?
Don't think so.
A Jodi figurine would be sick as well
I would love to get a small Transistor blade and have it on top of my desk
would love to get a transistor blade and hold in my hands the brush with which to paint the surface of human civilization. and also to have on top of my desk
Agreed
That was a bit deep, but Agreed nonetheless
i have the transistor usb which i put on my desk
I had the Transistor USB at one point and then it disappeared into the void.
That was a sad day.
I just want a 1:1 scale model of the Transistor so I can flex my superiority-
Very big sword
Beeg sword
May I have a picture of that?
asking for a friend ofc
Sig bword
By studying the environment around Red and the process around her, I don't think the Transistor itself is really that big
But I would also love to get one too. and one on top of my desk
Big angry sword want revenge
Honestly I want an animated series just about Transistor's world.
Like a detective series or something in that world, because there's so many unique premises that just get me so invested in the world.
Like Timeout with it's 'time as currency' premise.
Honestly Transistor and Timeout would be able to blend so well. You've already got a world where everyone is made from code, who's not to say that the time their systems have support is used as currency? So you're using days and years for transactions.
What's Timeout?
It's a really small indie game but it's a good one. Basically this society uses lifetime as a currency and this dude's dishing out fake time that rapidly expires and will kill whoever has it. It's a very interesting premise.
Probably lol
Anyway one of the things I tend to look for is unique premises. Sure, there's been plenty of computer worlds before, but the way it is in Transistor is so unique and has so much flare to it that I can't help but get entangled.
Yeah it's pretty schnice
prob going to add it in my list of concurrently playing games
Steampunk and Cyberpunk
my fav artstyles
I meant aesthetics, sorry
I have the USB as well and actually used it because I was too cheap to use 'normal' sticks, but the small handle thingy was a bit flimsy and has since detached
Haha, But surely it was cool till lasted!
Oh definitely!
I have the USb as well, I use it to back up my writing 😛
Size comparison https://i.imgur.com/r6U8GAE.jpg
It does not flash, no
heh, sadly no. It's all rubberized
I just realized.
The Transistor could be made into a speaker so easily, with the circle being the center dome and just lighting up with the bass.
"W̸̔̇ë̴́́'̸̾͌r̸̛̾e̸͆̅ ̷͒̓n̵̛̈o̸͂̈́t̷̘͐ ̵̎͠ğ̴̙ǒ̴̍n̴̓̒n̷̿͐a̸͑̉ ̵̜̕g̸̋͌ȇ̷̈́t̷̫͒ ̵͛̍a̶̍̂w̵̔̉ả̷̾y̷̚͝ ̷͗̔w̸̕ͅi̸̿̕t̷͋̐h̸͋̏ ̵̰͒t̴̍́h̵̃̃i̷͛̓s̷̐̈,̴́͛ ̸̐̏à̴͋r̵̽͘e̶̛̾ ̶̊͑w̷̔̓e̸̎͂"
"Intro to Transistor but it's bass-boosted"
nightcore
Who let Royce in the transistor again
Has everyone seen the life-sized Transistor Supergiant commissioned from Volpin props? That has a speaker mode with dynamic light flashing.
Can they Send one my way?
where do i get a transistor usb and how much data can it store
This game is a masterpiece.
It really is, Torquea.
It really is!
rt
The SG store though their stock has been low bc of he holidays. Iirc it has 8GB of space
"Page not found" 
Hm, maybe they’re not carrying it anymore
yeah, its not sold anymore
ohmygosh i just saw the replica! that's amazing :0
Yes
Get wrecked, Royce! (my first playthrough is going well I think)
And that's credits rolled 
man I never get a good enough look at his character model, he's so lanky
I see your 13k, and raise you 7k
Yes 
I don't have the second Mask() yet, damnit xD
Extra 250% stealth damage
yeah
I need a second Get() so that I can try a similar build but with Breach(Get()) at max range
Oh, that's fair. I honestly don't know why I didn't think of that ha ha
Anyway, I'm sure I could go much higher, too, once I get 2 copies of all functions
definitely
This is just the first Backdoor I came across in my first recursion
nice
I love that the game says "DO YOU EVEN READ" if you try to overkill with like 8 attacks
ye :D
break that 4th wall baby!
my favourite of those is the "YOU'RE MEAN"
@wheat bobcat yo, played TimeOut
as you said, really interesting premise (gives me sorta transistor or reverse transistor plot), and I enjoyed the artstyle and design
What?
I don't recognize her (if she is there anyway)
Has Red been Zag's fan in the stands all along?
she must've read a lot of Zag's History and became a fan of him

now, if we can have a game where the universes are intertwined
let tariq and red meet 2020
Yall I finally beat that Spine
I'm feeling invincible 😂 also this game keeps getting better and better like omg
I'm obsessed man
Great job, that’s a fun fight!
it really was lol @cunning widget
Found out that if you manage to eliminate all the Youngladies in their own room, Mr.Nobody will say "You're something else you know that?"
this game is still awesome even after the 4th time
I made an attempt at that, my first run
was a bit too close to dying so I decided to make a break for it
and the cluckers at the empty set will "clap" for you if you kept humming
and also Void Mask Cull(load) deals aaa ton of damage
I knew about the younglady room thing but I didn't know about the cluckers. That's cool af
I'm going to send a streamble link to demonstrate that
It's like imgur but for vids
omg I'd forgotten this bit, it's so cool 
Ikr?
yeah, half the time I spend on transistor I'm just... taking in the sights xD there's so much to notice

I love Transistor's art because it's setting is a Cyberpunk one!
never thought of that haha, my brain always went "transistorpunk" 🤣
The buildings, the ground, the whole Cloudbank is awesome
mhmm, it's such a cool concept
and the little private beach for red to relax (and train aslkdj), I always love going there :D
the Sandbox
it was the whole art style that got me interested in the game in the first place
I saw someone reblog gifs and I was instantly 👀 👀 👀
yes alskdj can you tell I haven't replayed the game this year? xD
Also, You can get Paperboats in the sandbox.
just to get you excited to Recursion your save
the soundtracks is what get me excited in the game
yess I always go there to like.. just put on the songs playing xD and play with the little doggo 
Luna
just finished a fight? hmm time to go chillax with sword boyfriend and listen to some tunes, may play with luna too if we're not too tired xD
and go to a door and delete some process
god, I love that he (huh, does supergiant have an official name to call sword bf?) just went "oh nice! a doggie! I'll call her luna :D"
just another day in red's life
I call him Mr.Nobody but you can call what'd you want
I've seen that name and boxer I think too, I always go sword bf xD
Do you know that when you play Paperboats in the music player he says "might be my favorite" and it caught me way off guard
I thought supergiant had a secret name for mysterious bf with dreamy voice, guess not xD
I am not sure if I knew that, but I love that little detail 
when he says those things to red I always go into Old Man Clutching Heart Meme mode
haha yeah xD I'm always listening harder to hades because of that xD
and the narrator :3
CW, Ending: ||that damn song when you bring things to life before you see boxer again||
big Old Man Clutching Heart Meme mood rn 😭
I’m in the middle of my 4th (I think?) playthrough and feel like I’m just now starting to get a grip on combining all the different functions. Kind of surprised how deep the system gets once all the doubles are unlocked.
a while ago i made a video where it was look at all those chickens vine
i don’t know if it’s still on my computer tho 
I need to see it
Thats so hilarious!
I like how the "Look at all those chicken" just fits perfectly in here
i think i made it cuz we were talking about how royce would just adopt a bunch of cluckers if he could
is it just me or is the extended soundtrack and she shines is nowhere to be found in the music files
oh wait
it's made into one big folder now
so i downloaded transistor because it was on sale on switch
then i watched the zero punctuation review
and i'm wondering what supergiants' design room looks like
I haven't watched the ZP review myself, but in general I take his opinions with a very large grain of salt
He's an entertainer first and a reviewer second.
He is excessively critical and admits regularly he's judging games by his personal preferences, less often on whether they've executed well.
I’ve also heard he’s been...not great in the past
I think he's hysterical, whether or not I agree with the actual review
His review's hilarious nonetheless
Usually.
The humor was very not my speed, tbh, but fair
So I’m tinkering with trying to create uber powerful builds now. I beat the final boss quite handily recently using Breach [+Get] to reel him in, then finish up with Cull [+Void+Mask] for a ton of damage. What are some of your favorite function combos?
I'd say snuck Crash in Breach
makes them vulnerable and susceptible to more damage
Get(crash()) Void(ping(spark()) Mask(tap()) and cull(ping()) is my nuke build
Can remove ping from either cull or void
I just have it in there because it cheapens the abilities
Which allows me to double void
Thanks, I’ll give those builds a shot.
Definitely intrigued about Load. I haven’t had much success using it, so interested to try stacking it with Cull.
Load itself isn't enough
The first time through, my one-shot build was Void(Flood(),Crash()), Mask(), and Breach(Get(),Ping()). Also Jaunt(Spark(),Purge()) but that's not part of the one-shot sequence
And the most damage I've done in Practice post-recursion was with Get(), Void(Crash()), Mask(Mask()), and Cull(Ping(),Load())
What does a recursed mask(mask()) do?
It turns u invisible or something like that
It's kinda handy
I could be phrasing that wrong
it buffs the bonus damage you get
So maybe I'm misremembering something, but I came to the realization last night that nobody in Transistor wears glasses. Do you think thay prescription glasses are just... not a thing in Cloudbank? I mean, would anyone be visually impaired in a city where people can be whatever they want?
Beta Grant had glasses iirc and Niola has a monocle? But there was some dev mention that "all physical illness" had been eradicated in Cloudbank, which could theoretically include visual impairment (bc other than an affect, which Niola's likely is, you could just "stat" yourself to have good vision if we assume citizens have total control over their personage)
(personally I think I look incredibly stupid without my glasses but I also feel like people who wear frames just for fashion are kinda missing the point so idk)
notably other instances of permanent injury are present; Henter Jallaford only has one eye. Take from that what you will 
now that I'm overthinking this, maybe Niola's monocle has a HUD or something for work and that's why she wears it
I would like to think that they could repair the missing eye, but he kept it as either a reminder or just to look cool
probably the former, if I get the correct vibe from him
hello, got hades and joined this discord channel but was wondering what transistor is?
there 2nd game that is a strategy action game with a large emphasis on story based in a utopia / dystopian future world heavily inspired by technology and a unqiue combat system where all your weapons are also weapon modifiers and passive modifers at the same time, each uniquely interacting with each other
It is literally my favorite game of all time and I would highly suggest you get it when you could
ok, I'll add it to my wishlist.
I would watch a review first, but it is really good
I would go into it blind tbh but personal preference I suppose
I would go into it blind, but not totally blind. You dont wanna play a game from just a description you got from a mega fanboy of the game
true
It's really great :)
The man are kinda hard I don't like the fact it can recharge lol yet also invisible lol. I'll get it eventually
I need a break 4 now 😂
For fighting men, my best advice is to have some defenses for when you're out of turn. Maybe a Purge()+ Jaunt so it is usable in Turn recovery. Otherwise you wont have anything to defend yourself against haircuts
something to fire out of Turn that isn't just a movement ability is really helpful for keeping Haircuts off your back. Switch is a fun one for this bc they go chase their masters instead
I found Jaunt(Purge(),Spark()) to be very good at dealing with Haircuts
oho, spicy 😛
Thanx guys!
Yup.
I saw an interview with Greg a few years back, right around when Pyre released, and he went into their work philosophy.
They take ideas they like, stuff they've been wanting to try, and put it together and see what works.
They don't stop and try to box a game in by genre conventions, they look at a mechanic and ask "Does this work?"
The Marie Kondo approach to game design, if you will.
"Does Turn() bring joy? Yes."
Evindently they re really good at that
When you have a happy and well-functioning crew that doesn't stretch themselves beyond their limits and they all happen to be pretty damn good at what they do, you will get excellence.
I ve only finished hades and transistor but each one is so clever in their own way
No crunch, no watching snuff footage so the animations of how someone dies is IRL accurate despite how traumatic that would be.
its crazy how smart their game designing is
for sure
i ve seen devs that are really good at hitting certain aspects of a game but somehow these guys hit it all
I want to binge on something like that
do you have the link?
or even watch
I think it was in PC Gamer.
Oh, I though it was an hour long like those from NoClip
i love that article
I tweeted at Greg about it and had a little exchange. 
SGGG’s next game will be a metal pit fighting game
And you have to win the fight and propose a game and after you win the fight it turns into game dev tycoon

But every game element you suggest requires more fighting
And as you progress in developing the game you have to start fighting using the game elements
so you have to develop a game that’s both useful for combat and for pleasing customers
Too galaxy-brained. 
So it's hades-y but bastion-y and transistor-y but wait, it's Pyre-y too
don’t lie this game would be very fun
I absolutely love a challenge
just don't give me uncharted or tomb raider
Well I've got words about shooters on a controller anyway.
I've played bioshock infinite on a controller
the thing is my beautiful 4k computer doesn't handle games that well, So when I downscale the mouse just goes way too fast for me, so I had to bite the bullet and use the good ol' DS4 to run it
I'm still chuckling about how, after a game about how people react to unspeakable loss, and then a game about the inevitability of death, and then a game about redemption and second chances in a pseudo-purgatory, they finally just set a game literally in hell.
They went there. Dang.
This is kinda #supergiant-games ish, but I agree with you.
How do they make a game that is different from it’s predecessor yet looks equally beautiful and amazing
never knew I would love action(or turn based) rpgs let alone loving a studio’s entire gamelist
do u think its fair to say ff7r ripped off transistor's turn based action rpg niche
(this isnt serious, but itd be funny if an indie game inspired a new genre)
I don't think so, heavily inspired by it though maybe
bought transistor!!
woohoo!
wdym?
The main relationship is straight and intensely valid, if I read your question correctly
Why would that ever matter? O . o
Because people may be burned out by bad romance in fiction and may not want to engage?
Honestly imo it should matter more if the relationship is healthy or not over the orientation of it
Red and Boxer are stupidly wholesome
also i really wanna be gentle about this but sometimes writing in media is terribly misogynistic, and straight couples can fall into awful tropes!
this isnt the case here of course
Yeah I getcha, that’s what I figured you were concerned about
♪ When you speak, I hear silence ♪

Verrry
does transistor have difficulty options besides limiters? just wanna make sure I'm not missing anything
nope
nah it doesnt
i still can't get adjusted to the fact that i can't dash

use Jaunt()
it's called transistor because both Red and Auden are trans. thank you
Who's Auden?
it's another name for the transistor. people often use boxer or blue also
Ah, didnt know auden was a name for it
I think you all mean Mr. Nobody.
I just call him unknown
the one true personality test, what do you call the man in the transistor? XD
I'm leaning towards Boxer right now, though I also like Mr. Nobody
Boxer is just faster to type, if nothing else
boxer, it's always the first name/word that comes to mind when I think of him
Boxer when I'm talking about him, the others have contextual uses 😛
i just call him blue
- da-ba-dee-da-ba-daaaaa *
cause the transistor is blue
and his attacks are blue
and his pic in the codex is kinda-sorta blue
and since the protagonists name is Red i might as well stick with this all the way
I prefer Auden because it's pretty
I've always been a Mr Nobody person
i usually use boxer but auden is pretty
so the options are Auden, Unknown, Mr Nobody, Blue, and Boxer. Am I missing anything?
"the dude who protected Red"
Mr Boxer
just call him blue
Where did boxer originate from again?
transistor
transistor
in all seriousness though, I think it's a nickname the community came up with from seeing the wraps around his arms and fists
oh I see
or just a bodyguard for red
Makes sense
the gameplay is so fun omg
@white solar in early versions of the game he actually was supposed to be a boxer
and he was the main character
“Boxer” actually comes from some game files iirc, I think a lot of his dialogue has that in the file names?
The same way a lot of Red’s reactions and animations are named with “Muse”
Also iirc “Auden” was what the dev team nicknamed him (apparently they have a tendency to nickname characters among themselves, supposedly The Kid had a “name” that never went public bc it was just what the devs called him)
I think Auden was also in one of the game files
If you attack his dead body in the beginning are there voice lines?
can you even do that?
I dont know, but there is code that points too it
Yikes... I mean there probably are lines for it but why would you? 🥺
YEAH THEY MADE ME CRY
this was so beautiful
oh i also really liked my jaunt build
Used it with the friend + rupture ability
hehe
I just started playing Transistor
Should I play with keyboard/mouse or controller?
All controls matter gang here
both is equally good,
it boils down to how you like to play it, KBM or controllers?
If you happen to have kbm as your playstyle, enable instant fire in the settings
makes it easier to cast functions without pressing it's respective number and M2 to do it
Oh I just used the scroll wheel
or that , too
There is a crazy amount of input redundancy and I love it
I used controller mid-way through the game , I was confused af
I played solely controller and it felt pretty slinky to me. UI was a tiny bit clunky but everything else was just fine
Same, I used controller, and the u can pick up the smallest movements, but I prefer it more
I tried keyboard and mouse, but I just... kinda hate it in isometric formats. I prefer the controller.
keyboard + mouse, it was weird at first but once I got used to it, everything went smoothly
Just replayed Transistor after a couple of years. Hit even harder than the first time.
spoilers
|| Starting the game a second time to hear ROYCE instead of Auden telling me " We're not gonna get away with this, Red, are we?" messed me up||
ikr?
I want Auden and Red to star in a fighting game together
I think they should.I also want to see them in a detective film
I just love them so much
are asher and grant..yknow
I'd love them to be protagonists in a game like TimeOut
that game is way short (half an hour of playtime)
Luna's only in Sandbox
when using Help() there is only a Fetch
which I can prob think of as Luna
I make Jaunt my main function
don't blame me , I came from overwatch and I main dash heroes
NO DW ME TOO
I used Jaunt with help and disrupt
ran away while dealing poison damage
I'd use Jaunt with Spark so It help me remove the shield on the cells
yes, I turn on the limiters
3 voids and cull(load) will make the game so much better
I use both breach and ping as passives ( I play around Turn() as much as possible)
I'm a sucker outside of Turn()
FWIW There is a voice line that can trigger from Boxer when you summon a Fetch with Help(), and he either asks if or declares he will call the dog Luna (don’t remember exactly which)
"Luna" is from the backdoor, iirc
it is mainly but I swear I heard him say it before I'd even hit a backdoor in my latest play
I could well be wrong though
i believe theyre a couple yes
poggers
time to beat this game a 4th time
I feel like we don't talk enough about how good the voice acting for Royce is
royce’s voice makes me go 😳
starting recursion and ||having royce say the line instead blue|| hits so hard
YEAH IT DOES
I mean they have the same surname, that's straight-up"they're married"
Everyone always talks about how good Royce's voice is but not Asher's 😔
I want Asher Kendrell to send me solemn and vague voicemails
at first I thought they were siblings
How dare you call me out like this
"I'm sorry..... that I forgot to return your sweater when we met at that function last night. Next time I hope you'll do well to remind me."
not really i thought they were brothers at first
Oh my god, they were roomates
One thing I appreciate a lot about Asher and Royce is that there’s (imo at least) a very slight disconnect between our perception of them and their voices? I always get the impression of Asher as “the little guy” of the group, but his voice is deeper and he speaks with so much gravitas (learned from Grant?) than Royce does. You can feel how he’s trying to keep it together and be serious and professional even while dealing with everything that’s going on. And the little breaks in his composure hit so much harder for it.
By comparison, I initially felt Royce’s voice didn’t suit him at all (on my first play I actually found him kind of annoying). Subsequent play-throughs I’ve since warmed up to him a lot. But there’s something to be said about how he immediately shatters any remaining mystique the Camerata had by nonstop rambling at you the second he’s aware of your presence. Like Asher it’s apparent he’s struggling to keep himself together but it’s an entirely different method, it’s like he keeps talking to keep himself distracted instead
So it means that Grant is what kept the camerata and perhaps the whole cloudbank at bay and kept it from falling apart?
Asher is dark-skinned, Grant is not. At any rate, regardless of initial impressions, as soon as you unlock some background it tells you how they met
I mean, Grant really does seem like he’d be the voice of reason, even without the personal connections. The history and relationships there just made losing him that much harder for them
My point is that the fact that they look wildly different already makes the occam's razor option "they have the same surname because they're married" and not "they have the same surname because they're blood related", especially in a drawn canon where character designs are planned to convey information (vs real life where things sometimes just are). The game's text then states that they met relatively recently, leaving "same surname bc married" as the only option.
Obsessed with transistor
I knew i'm not alone on this one
I am so embarrassed I’m six years too late
I got it on switch bc it was on sale and now im like
Its totally like hades who
no one is too late
this isn't some sort of mmorpg game, I even played this game two months ago!
Likewise
Me too
yay more fans! 😄
Hearing Asher speak and I'm just like THANATOS????
Anyway yes he speaks so softly about Grant...husbands
I come to talk about how i reacted to Ashers voice and the first thing I see is just about exactly what i was going to say
Just me, approximately 0.2 seconds after hearing Ashers voice
T H A N A T O S
I guess i'll do a reverse of what's happened to you
what if i drew red and auden as hades npcs who act as zagreus's reassuring parents and give him buffs
"Hey son, we got you something" and they sing a lullaby into his ears , thus giving him a buff that allows him to become stronger whenever he hears another one
THAT'S SO CUTE...
I was thinking about Red making him able to slow enemies down to replicate Turn () and Auden giving him more attack because he's a boxer
Make him have Help() passive
Which at a certain moment after doing insane combos, he can cast Kill() which deals a ton of aoe damage
Auden:
Zagreus: ACHILLES SIR
Same, and I don't like Thanatos (but I adore Asher) so I choked on rage the first time I heard his voice.
“So how did you end up in the underworld if I may ask?”
“Kid, you ever heard of The Process?”
3 games in one? Woah
How about
Hades: How'd you end up in the downside
The Kid: Ever heard of the process
Woah
Wait
U know how u can listen in on shades conversations
What if one of the shades cause of death is “Transistor”
👁️
Cause of death: The Process
also random thing. Does anyone know the name of the song that plays during the first boss fight (the one with 3 phases and gives the dog ability after beating it). That song is simply too beautiful to not know the name of.
and yes, i called it "the dog ability". I am far too tired rn to bother calling abilities by their proper names
in circles?
It's In Circles at the beginning but over the course of the fight becomes _n C_rcl_s @bright axle
the music shifts from Red singing to Sybil singing during the fight
I think they asked for the name of the song(s) that play during the fight nx 
it's all good, words are hard 
Is there a reason i can't use Help () before the Sybil boss?
I have it in my fourth slot
You can only use it in battle, and I don’t think you can use it during a turn()
If you use it outside of combat, the poor puppy just explodes
you can cast it outside of turn, and then in turn you can control it
like make it move to where, and Bark (which deals 70ish damage)
oh thank u!!
An fun combo i found is Help() + (Spark(), Cull())
Cull makes Luna do 75(?) damage when they pass through enemies and you get two Lunas running around damaging everyone during turn. It helps that walking for them takes very little turn usage
Oh, that's nice
My favorite is Breach(jaunt, anything) as you can just go around stun locking them outside of turn()
maximum 24
Oh snap
you can NG+ this game forever
Ah sweet
or at least thats what I think it is
Good luck !
I’m pretty sure the maximum level is 30
thats what I saw from the achievement
Ok
I have it on epic. I wish there was an achievement counter to track how far I've been
But alas lol
I looked on steam
The max is 30
^ there’s little arrows on the sides of the hud
Btw cull() with void() and ping() absolutely shredded the boss
Cull is op , don't @ me
I had a few passives including breach() and after quite a few full retries on the final boss, I tried that setup and literally didn’t need any extra functions for giving me makeshift extra lives
Speaking of which, if you have extra room in your setup at the boss, you can just put something like mask() in a slot and then not use it (because it won’t help you against the boss)
Mask is too good
Mask is great in regular gameplay
you cast it during in the middle of your combos to deal insane damage
So is switch
so you mask, and when you cast the other functions you unmask thus dealing more damage
and higher than usual
I had switch on my cull during the last few rooms and it saved my life
You’re right
Unpopular opinion: Cull is good for a first playthrough, but it's not the best attack function because it's slow and Turn-heavy. It's not great for non-Turn scenarios
I hardly ever used Cull. You get it really late in your first run so I didn't have much time to get used to it, and I didn't like how intensive it was on my planning so I never used it outside of unlocking its information
The reason why it worked so well for me my first run was because I figured out that I could use Bounce()+Get() in Turn planning for luring enemies to me and targeting the Cull() to an empty space in front of me to kill everyone who was pulled into the area. That's when i really appreciated the beauty of the Turn system
thank you for helping out!
post new years my voice gave out so hard i feel like red
people talking about their new year's parties and I'm just sitting here in Canada having lunch on NYE XD
Happy New Year!
ping() except you get pinged by a dead person in Discord with each use
Please no
HJallaford @ Red - "Hey"
its just sybl constantly pinging you asking why you killed her
hey im sorry
hey
whyd you kill me
i said im sorry
hellooo
omg
did you block me
redddd
whyd you block me
||"i showed you my transistor now please respond"||
what if I killed you and we were both absorbed in the same semi-sentient sword aha 😳
Unless 👉 👈
||what if you wanted to escape the transistor, but Red said
MASK()
VOID()(325% weakened)
CULL(Backstab + Void + Combo + Masked) (Overkill!)||
F
happy new year :)
To you too cool guy
i had a dream last night and it was literally just ||me crying all over again over the ending of transistor like i haven't already seen it 😭 ||
what a weird one
honestly
i have no clue what caused that but i kind of really want to play transistor again so i can cry again for myself
Ooh, new color Roxy!
^
Tack Crash() onto that too
kinda surprising to me, but I saw one of my friends has the "We all become" song in his playlist
MOOD except I only saw it once
Ping but _n C_rcl_s plays when you use it
SAME
I've started replays of the game and ||recursion|| but i never finish bc smth always distracts me
though if i did finish it again i'd just be crying at it again
once again thinking about how bizarrely pleasant Royce's voice is
Royce Bracket helps you with your calculus homework ASMR
I want royce to read me a patch note of an MMO game
that actually sounds really relaxing
Imagine Royce's narrating a Podcast, chefs kiss
Royce is cute
The proxy makes him look really weird though lol, to the point where it made me forget who Royce actually was
I literally had flood and didn’t recognize him
The proxy makes Royce look like he about to pull a "hee hee"
it's kind of telling how the man is a technological genius but apparently doesn't know how to not sit too close to a webcam XD
Proxy?
the TV
floating TV head that looks like it has a similar movement pattern to Dusa but that might just be me
👀
Ok so
How does he have the technology to make a tv hover freely in mid-air, but still uses the frame of something from a decade ago in our world?! I can’t imagine how far in the future transistor is set
How did he even get a tv that old
I feel like the frame probably houses the flying bits
It’s so chunky
also for the aesthetic, bc our man is pretty extra, let's be honest
Wouldn’t he have at least made the color better?
Everything around him is red and black and stuff and then you just have
Tan tv frame
Oh wait it’s not tan
hahahaaa
It still looks stupid though lol
oooh
Royce irl is cute
...Royce in the proxy looks like he’s getting spaghettified
my beautiful "mediocre-tier slapped on together" images
we dont really know for sure? XD
I stopped playing for a while and then picked it up recently without realizing I was at the end
honestly that's a mood, that's literally my meme style
We know it can basically do whatever tho
it seems to be a collective (intelligence?) entity with the power to freely manipulate the matter and environment in Cloudbank
based on the notes within the Limiters, it seems to have some form of society
Oh that’s... fun
Big words
I haven't finished all of the limiters so I don't know the details there
Isn't it the stuff that makes Cloudbank's people votes happen?
Ye
it sort of behaves like its own little ecosystem, developing new forms for different tasks
Huh
but it got disrupted when one of the Transistors got missing..?
I feel like it's based on the idea of computer viruses evolving like actual viruses
Hey so
I think I saw some theories on tumblr about it being a program and when red is fighting it, the process is in the... well... process of resetting cloudbank
Remember the bully 3.0?
vaguely
Was it like... supposed to be a boss?
I culled it in one turn
...
yeah cull combos are scary
Bully?
you mean the Jerk?
Idk the enemy names were all weird
The big stompy robot
It menacingly floats at you and pounds the floor 24/7
this is what I got with a cull combo, and I'm pretty sure Boredor also used a cull combo to get even higher (like, 54k??)
How do you have crash on two things?
Recursion
keep playing 👀
Ohhhhhh
I've already forgotten what my cull combo was... like 20k ish?
I'm really not sure how I'd get it up to 50k+ though
I'll have to try again once I have a full double set of functions
right now I'm focusing on Pyre, but I might try and finish || my first recurision || once I'm done
Off topic: found an early prototype of Transistor... and gotta say
it's beautiful
This is footage from a very early version of Supergiants forthcoming game Transistor. TotalBiscuit plays through it while interviewing creative director Greg Kasavin.
Bastion was TotalBiscuits Game of the Year 2011.
check at 12:45
ooh
👀
Interesting. I know they showed a lot of early/unreleased stuff in the tone video that Supergiant put out a little while ago
And I think the Noclip doc showed some stuff like that too
thats some wallpaper material
ooh, yeah
What
Omg
the game just straight start right before ||sybil's fight||
i keep coming back to the soundtrack its so good
i just finished the game. soundtrack is really well done.
it really is my favorite video game soundtrack of all time
^^same here
Hey guys was listening the soundtrack and thought I might share with you this. Listen to Rave Tapes from Mogwai. This is an album that as a really nice vibe and not far from the one of Transistor !
Don’t know if it was an inspiration or something but i thought it might interest you
thank you for the suggestion. I'll check it out. Im always on the lookout for music like Transistor's
This is kinda close (like Radiohead, too)
I've yet to see a music that hits in the right spot for me
same, try as I might, nothing will really get close to the Transistor OST's super unique style
Oh yeah it is different but you might like it
I really enjoyed it. Especially when walking it gives thing such a unique vibe
Hope you enjoy it, would love to hear your thought on it
Explain the gameplay of Transistor like i'm 5. Go!
Stop time kill robots
stuff so fast it kills bad robots
explain it to me like i am 12 now
chess but better
Red owns the Transistor, which makes her do something called Turn() , stops time and makes her do her abilities then does them in quick succession
I say owns like a burglar has found a phone in the ground
why does this character look like colonel sanders
Oh that dude, lol
That dude, yes
(red decided that she will open a new place that is better than junction jans in a lot of different ways)
if you've got more questions about the game, either the gameplay or other certain stuff, just ask
i'll have to think of questions before jan. 5th
what's on the 5th?
sales ends
ooh
the steam sale goes bye bye
I mean, I highly recommend, and would argue it's best to go into Transistor totally blind but that's just how I am about most games anyway
If your fav artstyle is dystopian cyberpunk I suggest you give it a try
The game is gorgeous, the OST is fantastic, the combat is really unique. The game itself is on the shorter side but it doesn't overstay its welcome, which is important
it's not dystopian tho I'd call it more like neon art deco but ye
c'mon, robots bad and fight you
i know the music is good. i've listened to every video game soundtrack i swear
if that's not dystopian enough , idk what is
a robot invasion, the society itself is pretty utopian on the surface
yeah but take one sharpy sword and the whole world is going to reset
90 on metacritic and ign'
I've bought food I did not like for more than that so I'd say go for it XD
alright prolly won't play it till i finish hades tho
the game is really short compared to hades
like (assuming your current play time is 40 hours in Hades) the game is 1/6th of that
i'm only 15 hours in
I've played it so many times I have no idea how long it took me the first playthrough asldjasd
I don't know about Hades' potential "reaching to the end and new game +/ new profile minimum hours" playtime
so every time you guys say it's short ish I'm like "that sounds... true. I think
"
But i've seen people really really really liking it so much, so I'm assuming that
took the guy at ign who was supposed to review it like 70 hours I think
both transistor and bastion can be finished in one day if you own that speedrun boon
and only spam the dash/dodge button
every game can prolly be completed in a day
even persona 5 which a hecking 120 hours can be completed in about 20 if you know what you are doing
(I really want to play Persona 5, guess I'm going to give it a pass since I've bought the whole 4 SGGames)
i recommend persona 5 but only if you are willing to sit through a bunch of dialogue hiding a great story
"take over" is pulling me in
and compared to some other songs that is a bad one
ark, price, days when my mother was there are masterpieces
Haven't heard the others yet
just listen to the whole soundtrack
Transistor is great, but I will say it wasn’t until my 2nd or 3rd playthrough that I really started gelling with the game.
i had my 2nd transistor dream for 2 nights in a row now
is this the universe telling me to replay this game
whats a tetris effect
The Tetris effect (also known as Tetris syndrome) occurs when people devote so much time and attention to an activity that it begins to pattern their thoughts, mental images, and dreams. It takes its name from the video game Tetris.People who have played Tetris for a prolonged amount of time can find themselves thinking about ways different shap...
in other words, thinking about game a little bit too much than usual
my sister began playing it for the first time so im getting really into it again
she won't play it without me watching bc she knows i love it
and then she hears ||the background music leading to the credits||
LMAO
I had to experience that 3 times infact
and then I got, ||that was amazing wasn't it ||?
my god ||the goosebumps from exiting of Royce's place until you see Mr.Nobody||
RIGHT
it gets me every single time without fail
transistor is simply an experience that never stops being an experience
the ||Lump ||in the ||throat ||
EXACTLY
it is just a masterpiece and i simply cannot explain that further
it is smth everyone must see for themselves to fully understand
I have a friend who doesn't like Isometric camera games
and then I find his playlist has a
OST
he's like "yeah I hear it everyday wdym?"
I believe it was "We all become" if I am correct
nice
the vocals in every lyrical song is top tier
red has an incredibly soothing voice
supergiant was actually my first time getting into isometric camera games and dungeon crawlers in general so i didn't know if i'd be any good at it but I had to see the story
(Ironically enough) I don't LoL as much as I was before because of the SGGames (and a bunch of other games but still, SGGames is good
)
I don't want this chat to be too SGGy so we don't go to another chat
point is, transistor good in everything, really entertaining experience even if it was short
^^truee
i like that its short bc it gives it a lot of replayability
I can realistically replay it more than once without worrying about logging in like 60+ hours
(though the story is so good you always crave more anyways)
My thirst for more transistor lore can never be quenched
This is an intermittent and unscheduled Camerata appreciation post 
love those idiots
They accidentally ruined an entire city but hey we still love them.
It was an accident! Really! What do you mean messing around with the reality-bending robots was a bad idea? Seemed fine at the time.
So the lesson from this one is: report the missing stuff to their respective establishment
Cast of Transistor’s hobbies, wrong answers only. Go! XD

Song: "Old Fr...
Darren Korb is my no. 1 on spotify because of transistor (and Bastion and a bit of the others). Other artists need to step up their game man
True. And the dedication for pyre, recording the same song like 10 times but with slightly different lyrics that the entire thing had to be rerecorded and that it perfectly meshes with the lore is awesome
I just need to say this, my first introduction to SuperGiant was Transistor, and even though I was really bad at video games, I still use the music to help me sleep and just relax. I have the game because even though I didn't enjoy the gameplay, I just loved the music so much.
I just had a friend on another server, ping me saying to check out Transistor because I was talking about Hades's music, and I was like... you know me so well... but ha ha you fool I have known of Transistor all along
if the m/f ship isnt husband/bf obsessed with wife/gf i literally don't care abt it at all. and cant bring myself to care either

Oh You Know
Dang it, ||that || always gets me
also, do you get all the trading cards by spam playing the game or what?, I'm kinda up for playing all profiles twice
im not sure myself tbh
I got an Asher duplicate 
steam trading cards only have a certain number of drops from playing, which you can see if you go and look at the trading cards for a game
otherwise you have to buy them/use their weird gem system for them
steam has an faq about this, for reference :3 https://steamcommunity.com/tradingcards/faq/
truly never get sick of the transistor ost
even all the non-vocal tracks
every song is just so good
Gateless is kinda slow yet energetic
true
old friends came on my Spotify shuffle and it was a vastly different vibe from my last song but certainly not unwelcome
the transistor ost is so like
perfectly bittersweet in tone to match the game
FACTS
can't listen to paper boats though
i'll cry everytime it comes on
if you ever find me listening to paper boats outside of the game something is wrong
whenever i'm in the middle of some work and I run my playlist on and I hear paperboats I just go thru my work very fast
it's like "I say We're winning" but with work
Actually, paper boats is what made me play the game tbh
I was just flinging thru my timeline when I heard this masterpiece
oh nice
i wouldn't let myself listen to the soundtrack outside of the game bc i wanted to hear it for the first time as i progressed though I did buy the ost before I finished it
darren is one amazing musician
Ashley's voice tho

although - can you imagine how they pitched the game to ashley?
like - i can imagine amir or someone else saying to her "hey - you wanna voice our main protagonist in our new game!"
"hell yeah i do!"
"she's mute tho"
LOL
"oh..."

big brain idea ngl
heck - even i can do that
gotta cash in on my hidden talent of...
sitting quietly and not talking to people
at least she can grunt and scream when she cull()
true
that was what kinda confused me a lil at first bc they said her voice was gone but she still had like, combat sounds and grunts and screams, she just didn't form words
but ig technically she can't speak so her voice is a little null and void
oh you mean
transisounds 
there we go - there's my obligatory transistor pun
well played on that one
they maybe used some magic power to pull her speaking
and put it inside the transistor or something
yeah thats what i was thinking too as i advanced further in the game
i always think abt how much stress that must have been for her
singing and music is her whole life and now she can't even say her own name
"wth I was singing a moment ago"
LMAO
🎵 when you speak, I hear silence 🎵
Grant: Very very poor choice of words

what if you wanted to mind your own business and make music
but the Camerata said
no
HONESTLY
my first impression of transistor was so like
it was positive but I misinterpreted the start of the story entirely lol
I did not watch any gameplay or trailers before I began it so I had no context except girl with talking sword
girl is mute, sword is not
that is all
I was like that until I hummed at the empty set
that part was so lovely
tbh i didn't know that ||she knew the man in the sword at the start, I thought the sword was like a separate person/entity and the man was someone she had to kill for whatever reason||
||so when the sword talks about skipping town and covering your tracks i thought we were tryna get away with murder LMAO||
LOL
the way red and Mr nobody's romance is written is just so
refreshing
and lovely and perfect
when he calls her his star 😭 i lose it
Hes just so caring! He tries to help even when he doesnt have a body
ikr?
he even roots for red whenever she does something spectacular
like when you were near the spine and you complete an encounter , he goes "wooooo"
I still have the vid to that
I love the speed test voicelines, "Leh..."
"Well that was quick. Good Job"
i like when they're ||approaching the spine|| and he's like "I love you so much, Red... You know that, right? It's true... It's true! ... It's true."
So cute
so memorable
And the interactions with Luna, adorable
trueee
the entire ||spine|| segment of him progressively losing more control over himself yet still rooting her on and reacting to her fights as much as he can is very ingrained in my head
hes so cute. Hes loopy and hes just like, "Luv u red ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ hehe ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ "
LMAO
its like he's drunk but he just keeps trying so hard to be there for her
literally one of my favorite videogame couples of all time and i just discovered them like 3 months ago
don't at me
@formal estuary Kraja's right
He is! , and I'm not hating it
Nice
man - could you imagine if he was like that the whole thing through on NG+?
like - on regular playthrough everything goes as always
but on NG+ he's drunk 24/7
they would have to re-record all the lines but BOI would it be worth it
I want Logan Cunningham to read me an mmo game patch note with Boxer VCing

i wanna cosplay red sometime
or sybil
Get a girlfriend then do both
^
My hub and I did Sybil and Royce ages ago. I still have the Transistor prop I built in my closet lol
Nice! I want a transistor prop

I really want the one that talks that sgg had custom made
I would still want a transistor prop
TRUE
Or get your boyfriend, and someone that really wants to be your girlfriend and cosplay as red boxer, AND sybil
Thank you
np
all the sgg chars i wanna cosplay thankfully don't have overly complicated outfits
The character designs I think are always simple, and it fits with the more cartoony vibe the games give
^^i agree 100%
Very
had this shower thought today: for a game about a mute girl, she absolutely had some bangers
