I love her processed design, not just bc he Process aesthetic is 👌 but also bc I believe there is symbolism

Oh hey Sable!

#

You wanna check out the bios too?

white solar
#

Ohh no wonder these abilities seem moba shooter-esque

wheat bobcat
#

lol yeah

white solar
#

yo @ supergiant take some notes

#

jk

wheat bobcat
#

yo @ supergiant let me make a game for you plz ;-;

#

jk but seriously-

noble portal
#

“Haha jk.. Unless?” 👀

wheat bobcat
#

Y e s

#

Seriously, Transistor is too perfect a setting to not create something out of it

white solar
#

Ayo Transistor Kart game when

#

I wanna play my man Preston Moyle

formal estuary
#

yakuza-like transistor game? 😳

#

seriously I want to explore more and more of cloudbank, and eat at junction jans

See, what I'm thinking is that the Battlepasses are, instead of limited-time things, free things you can always have available at all time with new BPs just being added to the selection. You can choose one to level up at a time, and will level up just by playing. The only purchase for it is that you can buy boosters to add an exp multiplier. These battle passes have archive footage which can be viewed to show more of the life of the world before the outbreak.

#

||sgg never satisfied me, and never will||

patent marsh
#

part of the charm of transistor is that it leaves a lot of the details of the setting up to the player's imagination, and stuff like this would hurt that

wheat bobcat
#

Well less definitive worldbuilding, more just character backstories.

formal estuary
#

spin offs if you will

white solar
#

it's a mental dilemma

formal estuary
#

basically the pinned tweet link

wheat bobcat
#

Yeah. Less meant to be the descriptor of every single little detail in Transistor's world, more on the events that take place after the devastation.

white solar
#

I mean technically we can see character stories like whatever Farrah Yon Dale was doing and still have the setting still largely up for interpretation

wheat bobcat
#

It'd also kinda focus on the actual mental impact a post-apocalyptic world would have, especially when there's the potential to restore that world.

#

And the main conflict is all of them fighting about what should be done- one group wants to take the Transistor and use it to finish blank-slating everything, another wants to restore the world and go back to the way life used to be, and the last wants to just move on and leave it all behind. And then there's the characters who aren't sure and don't know what to do.

formal estuary
#

sooo, TLOU?

#

but not tlou-y enough?

noble portal
#

I gotta get moving on my “sequel” fic. Though it’s more of a character exploration, the post-Outbreak world stuff is mostly background

wheat bobcat
#

It focuses on the fact that they're still going through the realization that the world is gone. Almost everybody they know is nothing but white particles. How are people supposed to deal with the fact that everything they did before is now rendered worthless because of the actions of four people.

#

We've almost always only ever gotten the same five characters in post-apocalypse settings- The hardened one, the daring one, the oblivious one, the naive one, and the silent one.

#

why does this games soundtrack still make me cry, even the songs that arent linked to important events are so wonderful i cry every time.

#

It's so brilliant!~ It was my study music for years after it came out but Korb is a genius

lilac juniper
#

hummed Old Friends. So soothing to listen to

carmine swan
#

my dungeons and dragons campaign song right there

#

too much nostalgia its so good

wheat bobcat
#

Working on one of my favorite Users: Thalia

#

The Greek mechanic lady with a million-gigawatt grin and grease-covered glows who fights alongside her enormous Scottish bodybuilder wife

#

Think Torbjorn fusing with Brigitte and then having a lovechild with the Engineer that just literally absorbs every tower defense game ever

limpid oxide
#

So does the Transistor slow down when near the Spine because there are too many bloated processes running and CPU usage is spiking?

junior lagoon
#

omg Red is the Windows Task Manager

limpid oxide
formal estuary
#

from the analysis (the link in the pins)
some thought of the Spine as an anti virus system (kinda like the one that's in your computer) and so the Spine is trying to remove the man from the cloudbank (or the system) thus the man going drunk and weird

junior lagoon
#

using Mouse and Keyboard, Right Click -> End Program

formal estuary
#

~~no, she's the cursor ~~

#

the man is considered a virus

limpid oxide
#

Huh. I never got the impression of anything remotely to do with antivirus. I saw the entire conflict as just how a computer is basically unusable if you're looking directly at the processes instead of putting them in the background and just looking at the programs and interface, the people and the town. Like, what am I, a Matrix operator?

formal estuary
#

the link in the pins is an amazing and spectacular analysis article that takes the game from the POV of a computer engineer

#

and also talks about how people that became the functions in game

limpid oxide
#

Hmm, I think it kind of jumps off the rails when it doesn't talk about the distinction between a program and the processes that operate it. Like, it overcomplicates things to call the process a program that keeps everything else in line when the naming and the fact that Royce thinks the process are normally invisible and doing all the work whenever something happens suggests it's not quite that sort of relationship. As in, I don't see the process as a program but rather the literal processes behind every program in Cloudbank. Like, the processes on your task manager as opposed to the application programs running on top of them.

white solar
#

interesting take

#

especially since none of the cast fully understand the process, not even royce

And then the ultimate Function, a Function so intrinsically powerful they couldn't include it in the game:

#

CW: Transistor ending : ||What if Red was tried to fix cloudbank instead of y'know, going to the country... just like System Restore feature in Windows instead of End Process(which is Red)||?

wheat bobcat
formal estuary
#

Exactly

wheat bobcat
#

Also dammit now I've gotta make the Stonks meme but written as Stonks() and with Red's hair

#

I'm gonna make a group chat with any peeps who wanna help come up with more stuff for Cloudbank for the sequel-shooter idea, DM me if you want in!

#

Also one thing I like is that they show that Red doesn't really use internet forums a lot because she signs her comments on a news site

white solar
#

I had a realization earlier that I'll never get to watch Red perform live in real life on a chilly cyberpunk rooftop

#

zagluv , yeah sure

#

these stuff is like aesthetic to me

wheat bobcat
#

I'd wanna have a loft apartment in a city like Cloudbank

noble portal
#

Take a giant freight elevator just to get to your neighborhood, take another one to get to your actual apartment 😄

formal estuary
#

^

#

but honestly, I kinda want to see that

#

also, can I just say that Gateless may be the best BGM (Background music) I've ever heard?, like it's so cool that I just want to repeat it and stay in fight just to hear it completely and wait outside the fighting area just to hear the bass of it

white solar

#

Sometimes I go in Turn and dont do anything just to hear Red hum along with it

wheat bobcat
#

My favorite is Forecast but I'm biased since that general vibe of track always just draws me in

#

cloudbank is such a gorgeous city

#

i'd love to live there ||when it isnt falling apart at the seams.||

noble portal
#

weirdly one of my favourite things abotu CLoudbank is that it seems to be an aggressively pedestrian-friendly city, and I think that's awesome

I want to have takeout that is as efficient as Jan's at delivering food

||Jen Zee nailed the artstyle so good we just fantasizing about living in Cloudbank||

#

@ jen zee tysm for what you've done

noble portal
#

I mean it's pretty clear that highway was away from the buk of development, and the boat was just... canals. Cloudbank literally has canals, boats are a valid form of transport XD

formal estuary
#

Boats that have musics on

#

||I just want to spam Gateless, idk||

#

POV: you're passing the canals with a boat, you see cloudbank cityscapes, and Gateless' on the radio

#

this is my fantasy POV

noble portal
#

I accumulated a lot of plays on the ost listenign to it every day on the way to work

#

made thigns a little more bearable 😅

formal estuary
#

I do have some OSTs
but Gateless is the one that's stuck in my head

#

idk it gives this sense of never giving up, this sense of determination.... I'm kinda crazy over it

noble portal
#

I think Interlace is my sneaky fave from the soundtrack

#

so jammin

formal estuary
#

indeed, jamming

#

Yeah so Gateless is about determination, Which I’m currently lacking tbh, and it’s just keeps reminding me of “you never have to be down because of a tiny setback like an exam, you can push thru and beat it!”.

Honestly, thanks Darren

#

any hummed variation is so good

#

entering turn mode just for the hums tbh

||going to the settings for the muffled versions..||

formal estuary
#

also also , ||if you mess with the voice volume settings long enough, you might hear Boxer (or Auden) hum We all become||

warm depot
#

also i might be biased and haven't played pyre nor bastion but
I like the transistor soundtrack a loooot more than Hades'

formal estuary
#

oh boy ya gotta play Pyre

lunar mesa
#

hades is in second cuz transistor and pyre are tied for first

warm depot
#

rn im gonna go through Bastion before pyre

lunar mesa
#

bastion and pyre are very different beasts

warm depot
#

transistor had one of the most fun rpg combats in a long time tbh so idk what to expect

final helm
#

Heck yeah Transistor combat! It really is lots of fun

formal estuary
#

Hades' like in the middle ,and transistor because it loves to show it's characters (so kinda made it bit towards the middle)

#

although, some might argue that bastion is closer to Hades, but that's my SGG o' meter , lmk about y'all's SGG o' meters

white solar
#

Bastion's soundtrack is my second favorite, i find it funny how people always put it last thekid

stone shoal
#

Personally I don't like ranking the soundtracks because I enjoy all of them but for reasons

final helm
#

Yeah. In some cases I can say I enjoy one more than another, or I can tell you I listen to one more than another, but there are so many things I just like differently, without grading them.

#

i was about to say but we can agree that Songs of Supergiant Games is the best because it has tracks from all the games but nah, even that album is missing some bangers

Add a tail. And you have the kitty

if anybody wants me to remove it, lmk so I can't cause you some nightmares along your sleep

hehe it's kinda cute

I like it

#

though I've definitely looked at that cat and been like... what kind of cat is this???

#

it's black with brown points? that's? not a thing?

these are the things that bother me XD

if only my weirdly broad trivia knowledge was somehow monetizable

To be fair, it is decades in the future. New breeds could have appeared.

#

||little did they know, that paper boats has a different meaning when you play the game||

white solar
#

lol, I try not to tell people to listen to the soundtrack because I'd rather they experience them within the context of the game, so I just keep egging them to play the game

#

I do share Old Friends and The Spine though, cause they're basically in the beginning

left roost
#

^^same

#

paper boats hit so different for me when i heard it in game for the first time

noble portal
#

broke: Red and Facsimile are rivals
woke: Red and Facsimile are cool with each other and OVC manufactured their rivalry for clicks
bespoke: Red supports Facsimile as an underdog artist and they collaborate sometimes

also, I finally gathered my small collection of screencaps of posters from around Cloudbank and put them somewhere. Sorry for the small images and crunchy quality but they're literally justs creenshots straightened in PS https://sablegear0.tumblr.com/post/642705010252185600/in-world-posters-from-transistor

wow it's amazing that you managed to skew them to the right perspective, i love these

I think one could datamine the images with the help of the modding server, but that sounds like a hassle.

#

been replaying this gem since ageeeess on my PS4. First of all: Still loving the PS4 controller's light syncing with Sword Boyo. Second: I shoulda taken the time to do all the Backdoor Tests before 😐

Finished it.. damn, you start feeling sorry for Royce kinda

noble portal
#

he's just all alone by the end

warm depot
#

did the limit system have an incentive to use it other than added XP?

short crown
#

there's an achievement for doing 5 fights with all limiters active

#

but besides that, just XP, yes

calm jackal
#

I gotta say... I'm not sure the limits even add xp

#

Like, they say they do, but

#

Dunno if anyone's ever checked

#

They do make game more fun

formal estuary
#

and the chess part more chess-y

calm jackal
#

Aw... boxer would totally say checkmate after a good turn()

gentle basalt
#

Are there any plans to optimise the game for macOS Big Sur?

twin bear
#

you also get process lore for them don't you

gentle basalt
#

@twin bear Me?

twin bear
#

no i mean the limiters

gentle basalt
#

@blissful blaze Is Transistor still supported?

blissful blaze
#

I don't know 😔 I would assume SGG's focus is on Hades at the moment, though

gentle basalt
#

So, no chance that the game will be optimised for latest macOS versions?

blissful blaze
#

Like I said, I don't know - your best bet would be to contact supergiant and ask

gentle basalt
granite vessel
#

Have they ever released an artbook for Transistor?

keen karma
#

No. I‘d love it

white solar
#

I need one. Any transistor merch would be great. Something like the Tizo Plush would be amazing. Or anything at this point. devolves into incoherent babble

formal estuary
#

when your community asks for so many things they start comparing your game's story and names vs computer codes

#

I just bought transistor! downloading now, can't wait to play it :)

#

5 minutes left on the download but i have class in 35 min so i'll probably just wait until afterwards to start

formal estuary
#

finish then play

junior lagoon
#

probably a good idea shadesmile

noble portal
#

yeah seems wise

fiery patrol
#

actually never mind i can't wait

junior lagoon
#

do you want to play transistor, or pay attention in class?

formal estuary
#

and the background musics is just some mmmmm

fiery patrol
#

oh yeah i'm gonna pause when i'm in class lol

#

i've got a couple minutes to start playing though!

noble portal

mm I'd say wait until you have the time to yourself but do as you do

#

Darren, you ultra absolute madlad()

Transistor is 80% off and the only supergiant game i havent beat prob Gonna buy it today :3

signal nymph
#

Nice

noble portal
#

Yooo Portishead!

#

I always find it funny when people post Portishead in comparison to the Transistor OST bc for the longest time I just thought they were a weird unknown band my dad liked but apparently they're decently well-known 😛

formal estuary
#

was looking for Transistor-like stuff and Portishead along with Massive attack was the ones that came close

#

maybe Radiohead too

noble portal
#

SONOIO is more electronic but it got the vibes

#

in the opposite folk(?)ier direction Damon Albarn's 2014 solo stuff gives me the vibes too, but I think that might just be bc I was deep in Transistor stuff at the time I was listening to it so they're inextricably connected in my brain

#

"Hostiles" is a good Red/Boxer song tho, change my mind

formal estuary
#

I'm playing too much cyberpunk these days, love me some electronic stuff

noble portal
#

I highly reccommend SONOIO but I think theirs stuff is kinda hard to find? Fwiw, if I had to pick a song to do an anime-style opening for Transistor that wasn't already on the OST, it'd absolutely be "Heartbeat" by SONOIO shadesmile

formal estuary
#

that music sounds like something that Hyper Potions would do

#

EDMs are beginning to become my next fav stuff, thanks cp77

jaunty fjord
#

i enjoyed this game :)

#

Me too

white solar
#

Huh. Non-Red heyred

noble portal
#

Ilike them both for different reasons, but I think the self-titled one is a bit more solid 😛

#

weird that they didn't call them "Red" and "Blue" despite the album art

white solar
#

Oh i meant Red

#

Google is weird

noble portal
#

but yeah like... the vibes are so powerful. "Heartbeat", "Not Worth Remembering", "Houdini" is super sad

#

"No Fun", "Enough", and "Scientist" from the Red album so primo 👌

white solar
#

Enough and No Fun are the ones i replayed the most

noble portal
#

Enough has big depression/anxiety vibes and I appreciate it XD

#

this is getting off topic tho

#

I love trip hop bands like Portishead, Massive attack, but they still lack the prevailing vocal highs of Transistor's soundtrack imo

#

yup, huge Kilmt influence in Transistor's style. I think there are a handful of fanarts of Klimt's "The Kiss" of Red and Boxer 😊

Those eyes remind me of the process and the limiter styling

Does anyone have a screenshot / picture of the little outdoor cafe by the canals? I cant find it online

I might, if it’s the one I’m thinking of. The one with the cat on the sign?

Im not sure. I think it's near where you first meet the cluckers. There are some tables with umbrella covers and chairs

Junction Jans?

#

It's beyond Junction Jans afaik

Looks like i have to play a new game from the start to find it

spark rivet
#

So I started playing Transistor today

formal estuary
#

heyred annnnd?

#

how was it?

spark rivet
#

At first I was kinda confused

#

The game just starts, no menu or anything

#

Than the combat was kinda confusing

#

But I got the handle of it

formal estuary
#

the combat is easy once you understand the combos

spark rivet
#

At first I thought that I maybe played it before, but nope

#

Turns out that's just how it starts

#

But I like it so far

formal estuary
#

the best start for me, again just right into the middle of whats happened

signal nymph
#

Its my favorite game ever, the sotry is so rich, the music is so good, and the comabt is just so polished

formal estuary
#

the art style is just 🤌

#

I'll never look at cyberpunk artstyles the same way again, thanks Jen!

white solar
#

The umbrella tables definitely look like those, but they're by the riverside. I remember it being a very quaint location and Boxer made a comment on them having been there before i think

#

Ill show what i mean when i get to it tomorrow

noble portal
#

Oki. I grabbed this shot bc I liked the logo, the little cat is really slick 😛

white solar
#

Yes there's so many little details across cloudbank that you can easily miss (I didn't even notice the cat!)

#

I also find the typography found on buildings and billboards to be interesting

spark rivet
#

So... Do the respawns work like DD from Hades?

#

I am kinda confused

#

also the respawn takes one of my abilities away, is that permanent?

twin summit
#

respawning works by taking away your highest MEM-costing function (unless that function is your only attacking function, in which case the game will always leave your attacking function for last)

#

all 4 functions gone equals game over iirc

#

you regain a lost function after visiting a terminal (i'm pretty sure it takes a few terminal visits though? haven't played transistor in a while)

spark rivet

yep, a few it says

A lot of trouble could've been avoided if Sybil was just down for polyamory.

signal nymph
#

Honestly, I want to see Grant, and just hug him. From what I've seen, he just seems so sad, depserslty trying to hold the group together, and when it starts going downhill never loses hope, except when he confides in his close friend Asher, who just makes everything a lot worse (plus I mean, those muscles would be nice to be hugged by. Just saying)

I dotn know, his boyfriend is pretty hot

noble portal
#

Grant do be a silver fox

#

idk I love them all for different reasons

signal nymph
#

True

#

Also, is boxer a simp/stalker?
From what I know of the story before he and Red met, he would 'protect' her. I never picked up if they always knew each other or one day he pulled up his big boy pants and asked her out on a date

noble portal
#

idk, I don't have any strong theories on how they met. I feel like they were close before he became her bodyguard and not the other way around? Friends at least. maybe nto romantically involved yet

#

I have an inkling that... hang on lemme grab the text

#

From her function entry:
When an altercation finally erupted in the crowd during one of her performances, it was the first such incident in four years. It escalated to the point where administrators were summoned to the scene. As one of the suspects was banned from the premises, he accused Red of being an instigator and provocateur. Red later stated it was in this moment that she fully understood the potent effect her music had on people.
I think this was Boxer^

#

I have no proof other than it feels like an unusual thing to mention but not tie to another named character

white solar
#

I read the theory that that was boxer but ive also read theories that he was a bodyguard at the scene that day

#

But yeah it is surprisingly coincidental

noble portal
#

I thikn the idea of them reconciing and Red falling for this guy who made her realize how powerful ehr voice really is is kind of neat

#

Also punches the stereotypical "meet-cute" scenarios in the gut and I like that

white solar
#

I also read a fic where the song in particular that was provocative was "We All Become"

noble portal
#

yeah that song has a lot to it, I can see that

white solar
#

Because it was pointing out the homogeneous development of Cloudbank

#

I mean the homogenization

noble portal
#

yeah

signal nymph
#

Sgg can write a really good story. Then the fans just say: How DEEP can we make this, and I'm loving it

noble portal
#

while I've got Red's article open, I feel it bears repeating, because I think about this a lot; it's implied Red and Royce both went to the same school and I don't know what to do with that information. There's a 10-year age gap so they probably weren't contemporaries, but... yeah. Idk

Not so much senpai

I can kinda vibe with Red tbh, I went to a prmarily agricultural school for like... a double minor in english and bio XD

Imagine seeing like a guest speaker for one of your classes just pop up, kill your boyfriend, then start yelling about how he messed up and the big blue boyfriend sword is the key to fix it

#

"Oh you got accepted to Traverson! What are you going for?"
"Music"
"W-what...?"

signal nymph
#

Oh hey, I think that was one of my quantum physics TAs

noble portal
#

I don;t think Royce is the type to visit his alma mater much. I wrote a probably-going-to-be-cut chapter abt it in an unfinished fic

#

lol

sage shuttle
#

I JUST now realized I just had Transistor sitting around in my steam library!

#

i legit had no clue i had it just lying around

#

is it worth downloading?

junior lagoon
#

I certainly enjoyed playing it

sage shuttle
#

is it better with a controller?

quiet cape
#

everything is better with controller

#

except for spaghetti

junior lagoon
#

I played on M&K, but I get the feeling combat would've been a bit smoother with controller

sage shuttle
#

watching the trailer and the gameplay looks similar to hades

#

probably gonna come back when i steal my controller back from my brother

twin summit
#

kinda?

#

transistor is a lot more methodical and slower paced

sage shuttle
#

well, top down and at least requires aiming

#

and being able to move in only 8 directions with WASD doesnt make that job much easier

white solar
#

You can point and click as well

junior lagoon
#

because of the main mechanic of the game, limited movement isn't a big deal

#

and yeah, you can play entirely with mouse

sage shuttle
#

interesting

icy saddle
#

Just bought transistor because its on sale, is it good?

formal estuary
#

only one way to find out

white solar
#

When people ask that to fans of the game, do they expect us to say nah it's bad 😆

formal estuary
final helm
#

Yeah but the game's channel in the developers' official server? 😂

#

I've played some trash that some part of my brain enjoyed, but I generally don't stick around their fandom...

formal estuary
#

exactly

spark rivet
#

Limiters make the game harder am I right?

#

something like Heat?

fast garnet
#

Yes.

#

Every SGG has difficulty mods, usually in exchange for experience bonuses.

formal estuary
#

Limiters isn't required to finish the game

#

but they're in there for the ones who love a challenge (like me cell )

fast garnet
#

Or completionists, like me.

formal estuary
#

my steam profile is just transistor themed

#

also, can you check this chat's pinned messages

icy saddle
#

Ik enjoying it

#

Im*

#

Thanks supergiant

#

I love the storytelling and visuals holy crap

formal estuary
#

the fun hasn't started yet

final helm
#

I love the storytelling in Transistor specifically because it seems to me sort of... rough, trying things and rolling with it, weird pacing and all, and the result feels fresh and hits in a way that's rawer than if the same story had been sanded down for polish

formal estuary
#

slots you right into the game

#

right in the middle of the action

white solar
#

It gets more apparent the more you play the game, and i mean more than once

#

The beauty of stories revisited

formal estuary
#

I've made 3-4 profiles

#

and I currently have one laying around to fulfill my screenshotting pleasures

signal nymph
#

HONK

formal estuary
#

exactly (to you both)

#

and if you have keen eyes, yes there is a "the gooses" folder

signal nymph
#

I want a "The gooses" folder

formal estuary
#

it's a bunch of honky silverhand (the prototype for the new name and the pfp)

signal nymph
#

nice

white solar
#

found the place I was looking for

#

had to play a whole nother round of recursion to find it 😆

formal estuary
#

that was ||before the spine fight?||

#

(that's a game spoiler)

white solar
#

Yes, in the canal area with a bunch of cluckers

formal estuary
#

I knew that place, restarted a ton of times in my first playthru

white solar
#

I remember thinking it was a quaint lil place to hang out in Cloudbank and eat a Sea Monster

#

I also headcanon that Red and Boxer had a date there because of how boxer says he's thinking about the first time they went to the canals together when you click on the patio

frank pagoda
formal estuary
#

I actually don't happen to have one

signal nymph
#

Who wouldnt understand the H O N K. But yeah, i can try to get you one

#

Might take around 10 minute

#

Oh no, windows is updating, mighttake a bit longer then 10 minutes

frank pagoda
#

NICE thanks

#

You didn't really have to but I appreciate it very much

#

I don't mind waiting at all

signal nymph
#

Ah its not much work

#

What area of the game is that again?

formal estuary
#

the beginning of the game
the one that has the telescope by the right side

#

the "hey up there, hello world"

signal nymph
#

so goldwalk?

formal estuary
#

the place after the first turn() combat

#

before you go to the promenade

signal nymph
#

you might want to take that picture when you have the chance then

formal estuary
frank pagoda
#

Maybe I'll turn subtitles off and just go hunting for pretty sights when I replay...

#

It'll be my third time I should know the gist :p

formal estuary
#

them putting the subtitles at the top of the screen was the smartest move ngl

#

makes you see buildings along with your texts

frank pagoda
#

They have a good size too

#

I was very sad to see songs without subtitles but also I can see why that happened

#

And yet that wasn't a thing until Hades...

formal estuary
#

and here I am promoting transistor osts to another person

#

talk about being heyred 's #1 fan

signal nymph
#

Paper boats be like

formal estuary
#

he was a weirdo, saw the song on his twitter timeline and thought "huh, the game has music like that?"

#

and then he started liking it (especially the first part)

signal nymph
#

So good, #2 for music

formal estuary
#

yes

#

well, 4month ago me found out what part of the game they used it in

signal nymph
#

Music|Gameplay|Story|Replayability
Bastion #4 #4 #1 #4
Transistor #2 #1 #2 #3
Pyre #1 #2 #4 #2
Hades #3 #3 #3 #1

This is my ratings of the game

#

Transistor is my highest rated of their gaems, and my favorite of all time

Haha

#

I thought a little about it while I was out walking and tbh I think the best approach would be to play as the Process? My brain landed in sort of a Carrion/Half-Life 2 mashup territory

formal estuary
#

Headcrabs but processes cell ?

noble portal
#

more like Carrion but in a 3d urban-decay kind of environment. You'd be playing as a headcrab, nominally XD

I just wanna skulk around and assimilate people yikes _ yikes

#

How long is this game

quiet cape
#

go there

#

answers all your questions

noble portal
#

I mean, also juust answering the question; 3-ish hours will finish a run playing at a decent clip, longer if you're taking your time reading/exploring and doing extras or NG+/recursion

quiet cape
#

i haven't finished it that's why i couldn't answer it

#

howlongtobeat is still a great tool tho

white solar
#

3 hours is like a speedrun

#

I finished the game in 11 hours on my first try

noble portal
#

Watched a dude go through it on stream recently in about 3 hours, but he didn’t stop to really read anything beyond terminals and didn’t do any Sandbox tests except the first one that you get locked into

#

I think my first run took about 6+? Maybe more because some of the later Sandbox tests are tough

formal estuary
#

It took 6 on the first go for me

white solar
#

yall not doing the tests or?

formal estuary
#

I did it on my latest save

rose plover
#

I need some help lol

#

U kno the area where u have the haircuts and masked men. What's the best strategy to defeat them ?

formal estuary
#

Switch() turns the hairs against them

rose plover
#

Ah I see

#

I'll try it out. I think I have that one.. if not lol I'll work something out

formal estuary
#

also, Cull() + Void() is the most op combo

rose plover
#

It's the fact they RESPAWN lol. And I'm like 😶😬

#

Ah ok ill use Cull and Void next time, thanx dude

#

Lol I kno it seems silly but I was lowkey struggling

it's fine

rose plover
#

Lol yea 😂

#

I was doing so good up to that point I'm like oh

timber pivot
#

Just finished my first playthrough of transistor and it's one of the best games I've ever played. I mostly play games like Destiny 2, Borderlands 2, and lately I've been getting into more like No Man's Sky, back into Minecraft, and stuff like that so never really much like this. Between the game play mechanics, the environmental story telling, and soundtrack it was unbelievable.
Also, Hey @rose plover how's it going friendo?

rose plover

Hey I'm fine

i finished: transistor.

i have to: finish pyre/hades(epilogue)/bastion

#

and it was so amazing

#

||i almost cried at the ending cutscene||

#

*bit spoiley

#

be a bit cooler if you put that behind a spoiler tag

solemn field
#

sure thing yay

formal estuary
#

ty

solemn field
#

Honk() is such a cool idea

#

omg

#

wa......waaait ive seen you in pyre chat too

formal estuary
#

right?
what if someone checked this chat's pins

#

yes, hello!

solemn field
#

LMAO THE PIN

#

DKSFKSJKS

formal estuary
#

our alternate universes aligns, as per the ~~stars ~~ codes have predicted

solemn field
#

omg

#

anyways yes this game is so cool

formal estuary
#

(when you lowkey make an alternate persona out of one pic)

solemn field
#

but yeah i was busy clearing the story i shouldve tried smth more than the crash->b..br... anyways yes that combo damage

formal estuary
#

yes, 3void() cull(Load()) is enough for anyone

solemn field
#

????

#

imagine me understanding smth like that omg

formal estuary
#

ahem let me explain
so Void() is a function that debuffs enemies
and Cull() is a function that "yeets" the enemy to the sky
if you add Load() to Cull() you're going to make Cull() "yeet" and deal damage to enemies in an AREA of effect

#

meaning you can "yeet" a ton of enemies

solemn field
#

OHHHH

formal estuary
#
  • you can chain all that with Get() so they can all be in one place before they can be debuffed and "yeeted", only to come back down with a cell popping out of them
solemn field
#

lmao cell

formal estuary
#

yep, cell

solemn field
#

...

#

now that i realize

#

the bot name

#

is

#

proxy.

formal estuary
#

we love to call the words that trigger Proxy as proxyword

#

so instead of saying something like (excuse my lanaguage)

solemn field
#

?????????

formal estuary
#

you can type proxyword

solemn field
#

proxyword

formal estuary
#

I don't approve of triggering the bot on purpose

solemn field
#

oh LMAO

#

oop swan's here

formal estuary
#

that's better, english's my second langauge, forgive me

solemn field
#

agh okay last question

formal estuary
#

throw away

solemn field
#

do i begin bastion or finish pyre

formal estuary
#

Bastion

solemn field
#

doesnt fit to this chat, thats why i was wondering

junior lagoon
#

Lol I've been here for a while :3

formal estuary
#

"experience the first game that started it all"

solemn field
#

ooooo

#

alright then bastion may go with pyre

#

thanks ill just go get some rest take careeee

charred bridge
#

I want to replay and mull over the programming motif in Transistor...

#

Because all the skills/attacks/techs (whatever you call them) are function calls, like how you'd actually execute a line of code.

junior lagoon
#

They're called functions shadesmile

charred bridge
#
void().cull(load()).get()

Something like this?

#

That can't be the right syntax 😭

#

You'd rarely string together functions like that in production level code, but it's something you can do.

#

surely honk() knows what i mean

formal estuary
#

oh for sure

charred bridge
#
transistor.void();
#

How would you render your ~ call stack ~ ? LOL

junior lagoon
#

I'd see it as:

Turn(true);
Actions += Void();
Actions += Cull(Load());
Actions += Get();
Turn(false);
Actions.Unload();
charred bridge
#

Which language does that follow?

junior lagoon
#

C#, using delegates

formal estuary
#

I'm trying to make an admin joke, but I guess I'm not in the place to sudo that

#

yes,swan I know linux distros

charred bridge
#
while Turn == True:
  void()
  cull(load())
  get()
  Turn = False
  break # Not sure if necessary. I'm rusty with Python.
formal estuary
#

shouldn't it be get over the others, since get() is basically useless after everything that's happened

charred bridge
#

I have no idea :'D

formal estuary
#

that's like adding a constant you won't use

junior lagoon
#

Probably, I just used the given example

charred bridge
#

I mean, I was following the way you wrote it out. I think.

formal estuary
#

that's why you still need QA to solve your problems!

charred bridge
#

Honk(), give us a proper call stack!

charred bridge
formal estuary
#

last time I touched C# was in back like 2019, only used it to do cmd stuff

charred bridge
#

scripting, you mean?

junior lagoon
charred bridge
#

i can barely brain when it comes to bash

junior lagoon
#

I'm literally in the middle of my C# class right now

charred bridge
#

Oh, wait. Is this off-topic now?

formal estuary
#

kinda..

charred bridge
#

@ supergiant, #programming channel when

junior lagoon
#

Lol

frank pagoda
#

Would you say Transistor is a niche game? Curious

formal estuary
#

between the other ones? yes

#

as a normal game, not much

#

dang it, SGG just loves to genre-bend their games

#

and I love it

frank pagoda
#

I thought the least recognised one among the four was Pyre

formal estuary
#

which sometimes is, underrated piece of art and music

frank pagoda
#

But that's probably because when Transistor came out i was kinda all over the news and I was very excited about it

#

And then I thought I couldn't play it. For six years. When I could the whole time

formal estuary
#

I mean, if you did an amazing game, the next one will surely be good

#

and sometimes..... ||some tries to take advantage of that||

#

case in point: the red bird polish company

frank pagoda
#

It was very special coming back to it and seeing that my young self's excitement was really warranted

formal estuary
#

I didn't know the game until like after Hades was launched

frank pagoda
#

It's just weird because I feel complaints about Transistor are kinda more common than the other games
Bastion doesn't get that kinda scrutiny cause it's the first, Pyre is under the radar and Hades is. Well. Hades

formal estuary
#

well, some people love it when you put numbers infront of stuff and call it a day

frank pagoda
#

Sorry these thoughts are a little all over the place I never quite know how to put my feelings about it together

formal estuary
#

just what the red bird polish company was doing for the last decade or so
but SGG loves to start fresh and somehow I find it enjoyable to have fresh new Ideas

frank pagoda
#

I saw someone today saying the whole game is bad because the ending is... uhh... heteronormative I guess?? ||A Woman Throws Her Life Away For A Man Oh No||
Why are these Yikes takes so common man?

formal estuary
#

the latter doesn't hurt as much as the first one , because your fans already knew they'll get new ideas and subgenres that is cool

formal estuary
#

every SGGame has a simple premise and a one clear goal

#

Bastion... rebuild the bastion, duh
Transistor... bring back your voice and your dude's body
Pyre... is pyre
Hades is... "screw it dad, I'll leave"

frank pagoda
#

People don't complain like this when Pyre brings arguably overdone (not a point I stand by for) found family dynamics up

#

FTR* not for

formal estuary
#

well, pyre is so different, so so different

#

maybe because people thought it was a Utopian cyberpunk'd Bastion, and not turn based+ action rpg

frank pagoda
#

That's not wrong, but my question is just what is it about Transistor that gets people freaking heated up

formal estuary
#

the one i've seen so much about is the combat

frank pagoda
#

Also yes, people have too much beef with the combat

formal estuary
#

so different from each other , again

frank pagoda
#

My only complaint would be the lack of explanation during the last fight but it's all incredibly fitting in hindsight and I was happy with the eureka moment I had

formal estuary
#

and again, this is the internet, people like to talk smack about anything that exists in the world, just look at the poor poor cyberpunk 2077 and red bird polish company

white solar
#

it's either they dont like the gameplay or.. have other issues with it

frank pagoda
#

It's these other issues I have not been able to compherend for months

#

Like. Leave us alone let us enjoy the sword boyfriend

white solar
#

I feel like Pyre is the least popular in general but it's one of the most highly regarded among Supergiant fans

formal estuary
#

Darren and Jen carried Pyre on their backs

white solar
#

and the ones that love it, LOVE it

white solar
formal estuary
#

mad mad respect to Greg too

formal estuary
#

and finally for Amir, cuz PowerCast

formal estuary
frank pagoda
#

But also you know

#

It feels like the game itself is ready to stand against that sort of bad takes

#

♪ when you speak I hear silence ♪ :p

white solar
#

Red has dealt with outrage and altercations before heyred

frank pagoda
#

That was very blatant and stupid of me but that feeling carries through all of it. Cloudbank is not for you

white solar
#

Someone needs to make a Red fancam

#

i need to see it

frank pagoda
white solar
#

Lots of people come into things with pre-conceived expectations and end up not liking them because it doesnt meet said ideas

frank pagoda
#

And of course there's the fact that you can't make decisions for Red despite controlling her and it's a bold and major point, so... That also plays into the crash() of expectations

formal estuary
frank pagoda
#

I can't wait to replay this hh

white solar
#

Red is such a great character with agency

frank pagoda
white solar
#

no one can tell her what to do

white solar
#

Supergiant games do this stuff on purpose i swear

formal estuary
white solar
#

ok im sleeping

frank pagoda
#

This is semi-related, but... I very much did not like Chrono Cross and I had a fair share of discussions and arguments about that and I always said that while it might have merits and potential on its own, it squandered it all when it declared itself a sequel to something that didn't need one
My point is, when I played Transistor, I kept thinking about how I felt about Cross. The freedom and being truly standalone and in-your-face-ness of Transistor was what Cross needed, imo, to really be good

#

Like... All the negativity comes from something the other people brought with then, the unnecessary ground

#

sigh I'm rambling I guess

formal estuary
#

it's fine , it's ok to vent, internet's absurdity is at an all time high

#

"if you don't love me at transistor , then you don't deserve me at zagluv "

frank pagoda
#

It's like 'how dare this game be the most beautiful thing of 2014 I guess I gotta look at something other than the presentation... Oh I see the plot is purposefully lacking so I'm gonna ignore the word purposefully'

formal estuary
#

"huh, so those guys made that game that had more nominations than DOOM Eternal in TGA 2020?"

frank pagoda
#

When people with the right mindset play Transistor, they fall head over heels for it, and when people with the wrong one come over, they call it pretentious and barely elaborate, and like I said, the world exists in spite of both of these views and leaves everyone with a lingering feeling of something behind the scenes which everyone gives their own definition to
And that's just kinda beautiful to me idk

formal estuary
#

which is basically what programmers do when they see others' codes

frank pagoda
#

Not wrong... No matter how efficient your code is, if it does the job, it's a success

#

At least, until the process comes along /s

formal estuary
#

inb4 a certain manager crash it

frank pagoda
#

'when everything changes...'

#

I also have no clue how anyone cod dislike the voice acting btw

formal estuary
#

'nothing changes'

frank pagoda
#

Could*

#

I guess they're in their own world
Or should I say, country

inland mirage
#

transistor is probably my favorite supergiant game (locked in a perpetual battle with pyre) but I also feel like its the most...flawed of their games?
not that they have many if any glaring flaws but the vagueness of the story even after you've played it a couple times and also the whole bit with only Man() enemies just not being very fun are the two issues I have with it

#

and even then the story isn't undecipherable, except for whatever was up with the cradle and its need for a mirror boss

quiet cape
#

you like a game, and you're criticizing it

#

impossible!

noble portal
#

I mean, the in-world "mechanism" behind whatever goes on with the Cradle is one of those things I'm willing to not look too closely at, what it really serves imo is setting up a relatively logical step for a final boss. We've fought the Process, up to building-sized entities. What's left to do? Fight the last member of the Camerata, and turning the Turn tool we've become so familair with against the player seemed the most logical step there to me. It's unfortunate it doesn't see too much explanation; which on the one hand makes some in-game sense, there's theoreticaly time pressure and it's quite possible Royce doesn't even know himself why it does that, but on the other is still annoying bc like... it does sorta come out of left field.

#

while it seems to suggest tying up things like "what is The Country", temporarily isolates Red from her companion character for some contrast since he's otherwise been there pretty mucht he whole game, and takes that logical step for a boss encounter, I'lll readily condece it is kind of a weird plot hole/leap of logic

inland mirage
#

I'm fine with not knowing what the Country is definitively because we can kinda guess but if they wanted a mirror final boss just have Royce go "haha sike I made my own great value transistor and I want the city" idk

after the whole proxy stuff which is a lot of teasing answers without giving them and consecutive Man() fights which start to drag it definitely feels like they went "oh right we need to finish this up"

noble portal
#

and yes I agree after the Man is introduced the combat becomes a real slog

#

honestly everything after landing back at the Empty Set just... feels like a chore. Which sucks, because it's supposed ot be building towards that last climactic encounter but MAN do the high-level Process fights take a long time

inland mirage
#

I really like the processed segments its just the Man() parts which suck, high level process may take long but at least they have variety

noble portal
#

it makes me extra sad bc some of the tricky planning tests have really cool solutions but main-game combats aren't really set up to use what you learn in the Sandbox

#

this is true,the problem is mainly with Fairview

#

another big missed opportunity is Turn-based movement puzzles. There's one at the beginning where you have to queue up two switches, but they never touch that again and I just... I crave puzzles

white solar
#

Yeah i wanted more of those puzzles too

#

All i would improve in transistor is one more boss and an addition of puzzles

#

Also the Man() section doesn't really take that long if you have cull and void which you most likely have at that point. Add Bounce+get and it's possible to finish in a turn

#

Also it takes place over an interesting environment with Royce's soothing voice over so I didnt mind it.

frank pagoda
#

Insert the 'i love this song' gif because really, when I was ranting earlier, I didn't really mean to imply the game is free of things to be criticized (even though I am extremely biased and generally in awe of the thing)! It's just so drastically different when the person doing it actually... Knows what they're talking about... That kind of knowledge can open up a whole new world

white solar
#

Hahah i think the Man() part being annoying is a valid criticism. I just always found the gameplay fun no matter what i was fighting

frank pagoda
#

In other news, TIL it's 'start leaving' and not 'start living'

#

sigh such is another flaw of this game: no song subtitles

white solar
#

Hence why I was singing wrong lyrics to Paper boats for a while

#

Am I the only one who heard "babe" in the song 😳

formal estuary
#

Camerata thought of the lyrics || literally||

I think this is the shortest boss run i did so far. Only 3 unique enemies. Still fun, though. Except for the final guy.

In the beginning of the final boss fight, the only way to stay unharmed, is if he uses Br...

alma coming up with the clutch

#

but for real, Mask() is the important part
never knew how useful that would be after like 2 saves or so

noble portal
#

You can kind of drag yourself out of the path of projectiles during an enemy Turn if you jam on the controls as soon as functions start resolving (||Royce|| even has a reaction voice-clip for when his stuff misses), that plus Bounce()passive probably helps (NB I have not watched the video at time of posting)

Is “she shines” just a bonus track for the sake of being a bonus track?

formal estuary
#

it was released with the release of the Apple TV Version

calm jackal
#

the song plays while you download the game on that platform i think

noble portal
#

man, back to working on my Bloodborne/Transistor crossover and I forgot how much fun I was having with this fic. It's mainly just taking Royce's blithe acceptance of extradimensional shenanigans and turning it up to 11, much to everyone's dismay XD

Sybil meets Lady Maria

#

that would be cool methinks

noble portal
#

@white solar how dare you hide your amazing fanart from us? XD

white solar
formal estuary
#

next time I'm waking ti'zo,

white solar
#

I just wanted Sgg to see it on Twitter but that's unlikely

formal estuary
#

sgg focuses more on hades

#

dang shame they didn't see the regoose

signal nymph
#

True, regoose is awesome

#

Also, love that art

white solar
#

yeah, they get a ton of fanart from big pro artists every day

formal estuary
#

true, can't deny that one

white solar
#

It's good because we get so much lovely art, but it makes it harder for them to notice individual art shadegrief

signal nymph
#

I mean, Pro Artowork or Regoose, a very important descision

white solar
formal estuary
#

hard choice

formal estuary
#

(I don't have nitro)

white solar
#

Regoose is a staple in Transistor history

formal estuary
#

never thought that I'll have interest in making arts, let alone turning characters into gooses

white solar
#

Transistor is an artistically inspiring game

noble portal
#

I'm gonna ruin that sentiment here just a sec

#

I saw this so now I have to share it

white solar
#

😂

#

I saw that on Tumblr

#

I feel like that's exactly what he would wear to the beach

signal nymph
#

Swimsuit Royce is 100% accurate

frank pagoda
#

Oh this is the most excellent

#

Maybe for just a second he can not be 'busy, busy, busy' :p

formal estuary
#

Royce gets to play with luna

noble portal
#

let this man relax and get some sun

white solar
#

he doesn't seem to be enjoying himself

noble portal
#

I think he just always looks like that

frank pagoda
#

This man is never satisfied with anything what do you expect

formal estuary
#

he's the embodiment of "No thought"

frank pagoda
#

I'd say he's 'many thought head still empty'

noble portal
#

ah, the perennial ADHD mood, "many thought, head still empty"

white solar
#

I guess I probably relate to Royce the most out of the camerata in that regard

#

though Im not a genius

formal estuary
#

you ever just focus your eyes on one thing and you sitting there like "...."
that's something I expect Royce to do

frank pagoda
#

That thing is Cloudbank of course

formal estuary
#

||the cells inside the bottles||

frank pagoda
#

Would he have a 'do not disturb I am dreaming up another freakish building' sign

formal estuary
frank pagoda
noble portal
#

oof

white solar
#

also did anyone recognize the background characters I drew lol

noble portal
#

I did! 👋

frank pagoda
#

Oh yeah I did notice that

formal estuary
#

I recognized moyle from the get go

junior lagoon
white solar
#

Nice! gilmanrage

frank pagoda
#

well I have to type that all over again

formal estuary
frank pagoda
#

I was gonna say that I did recognise that there were the people from the other functions but my memory is funky so I was just like OH THEM

formal estuary
#

I don't love bright wallpapers but I'm putting yours as my current desktop wallpaper cuz heyred is heyred

white solar
#

I was going to make them randos but i thought why not make them the other characters in cloudbank

#

So now Farah Yon dale is having lunch with Maximilias Darzi

frank pagoda
#

As they should

white solar
#

Haha I didnt even think of a nighttime version but we'll see

frank pagoda
#

And listen 'wallpaper' was my first thought too but I already have way too much official trna art saved for that purpose...

#

Guess it'll have to join the pile

noble portal
#

you could set up a slideshow thing

frank pagoda
#

Yeah but I don't feel like doing that

noble portal
#

fair XD

white solar
#

I havent had a slideshow wallpaper since the 2000's 😂 , I should try using them again

frank pagoda
#

I've been checking on old trna posts on tumblr for the past week and now I'm thinking again about how annoying that could be to others

#

But also I don't care because it seems there have been just so many creative people and I've been missing out for years

formal estuary
#

loving it

#

and yes, that screen is near-4k resolution
yes it's small, but I'm a multitasker

white solar
#

dang, I never even thought of it being a wallpaper. The canvas isn't even that large. I'm surprised it fits well gilmanrage

rose plover
#

Killed the haircuts and men FINALLY, spark was my friend 😂

#

Also Royce can suck it 😑

signal nymph
#

HOW DARE THEE.

#

Sad scientist boy deserves all the love

rose plover
#

LOL

signal nymph
#

I love him, he just wants to help Grant

#

I mean, he is a bad guy, but not a bad bad guy

rose plover
#

True

#

This is true

signal nymph
#

He tries to help his friends and what he sees as right, and his views arent inheritly evil, but they got out of control, and now someone has to stop him, along with the whole fiance murder, he gets painted in a really bad light

noble portal
#

"If you ignore the murder parts he's totally fine" XD

#

I jest, but he at least recognizes (bluntly, perhaps off-puttingly) that he's done wrong

signal nymph
#

Yeah, hes like:
"Oh, I guess that was wrong, I wont do it again, but ill still finish it"

noble portal
#

"We did a bad thing, a lot of bad things. For the right reasons, of course. But they were still bad things, so I'm going to stop. After I get my tool back."

rose plover
#

Yea... lol

noble portal
#

Royce: This stopping is contingent on you cooperating.
Red: ... (Translation: What if... I didn't, tho. And I broke everything instead.)

rose plover
#

Don't get me wrong I totally get where he is coming from tho

#

I'm like boi this a mess 😂

#

But this story is so compelling in so many ways ya kno

noble portal
#

oh he's a disaster, I love him XD

rose plover
#

Yea. Lol

signal nymph

Royce: Oops gave a random user admin permissions
Camerata: Are you doing anything about it?
Royce: Ok hear me out we shut down the entire server, but blame it on a virus
Camerata: Royce No
Royce: Okay just get the admin permissions back
Boxer: YOULL NEVER CATCH ME * Maniacial laughing *
Royce: Can we do my thing now
Camerata: No
Red: * Screams of defiance *
Camerata: * sigh * go ahead :(

noble portal
#

Red: (inarticulate screaming)

signal nymph
#

Royce: Heyyyyy guys, so slight problem, the thing to stop the virus is uhhhh, the permissions of the admin we accidentally gave out
Camerata: You mean you gave out
Royce: And uhhhhhhh, it doesnt have a safety lock on it so your accounts maybe, just a teensy bit just a itty wittle bity wit might get infected
Camerata: ROYCE!!!!!!!!!
Sybil has signed off
Grant + Asher: Royce, you utter fool
Grant has signed off

Giant Goat Momma makes everything better, Crazy Bird Momma makes bad people become good people just for you (not guarnetted to be gentle), Red Singer Momma makes everything okay by humming and petting your head, Other Singer Momma makes everything ok by murder gentle persuasion

if you're talking end game stuff or similar then I'll refer you to the channel description ^_^
"When discussing Transistor's ending or similar events in the game, due to the nature of them, please provide a content warning and then spoiler tag the content you are discussing."

velvet jacinth

velvet jacinth
#

maybe but tbh i love how sgg managed the setting and theme

#

it was just perfection

formal estuary
#

agreed, nothing made me interested about cyberpunk genre like transistor and jen zee

velvet jacinth
#

but like goddamn jen zee can draw

signal nymph
#

agreed

velvet jacinth
#

i love the artstyle

formal estuary
#

Jen zee can draw a line and i would be impressed

velvet jacinth
#

and jen's are just perfect

formal estuary
#

Neither are mines

#

I just want to find more and more transistor art stuff

signal nymph
#

Jen Zee can draw a line, and I will frame it and put it in a shrine, I will tell everyone how it encompasses the enitierty of SGG by being open to anyones interpretations while also creating a beautfiul world and story, and then I will cry because it is much better then my lines

formal estuary
#

100% agreed

#

and somehow my contribution to this game that is my game of all time is a... goose that’s pinned in this chat. I think I should honestly do more

signal nymph
#

No no, its perfect

#

I havent even done anything at all

formal estuary
#

More transisooses!

velvet jacinth
signal nymph
#

Make the transistor a massive goose plushie

formal estuary
#

Red wearing zag’s clothes must be the next thing

signal nymph
#

#

Red in Pyre cloaks would make me very happy

formal estuary
#

I’m heading out before I give PlumFox crazier ideas

this wont end well at all

signal nymph
#

#

velvet jacinth
#

#

thank you

formal estuary
#

I have thought of this but... nearly all transistor’s characters can be “dripped”

formal estuary
#

Their design fits so well
