pyre

[toxic python]

Whats y'all fav arena

Mine is boat

Demons are so fun there

[mighty badge]

Is it cuz you can jump over the gap thing?

[toxic python]

Yes

[cloud nova]

GILMAN go nyommm

[toxic python]

https://clips.twitch.tv/MagnificentSweetStarTinyFace-g91hrd7O4rBlaakA

[cloud nova]

I also like the boat

[mighty badge]

I think my favorite is the pit of milithe and by extension flagging hands

[toxic python]

Look at that stupid gap

[mighty badge]

I just like bogs..

[cloud nova]

Ugh those crones though

[elder nimbus]

i like the fall cause its so big (and the obstacles force you into lanes which is cool)

[cloud nova]

Love the lore, hate the mechanics

[mighty badge]

Launching jodariel into the opposing pyre after brazen manner

[toxic python]

The area for the dissidents is fun too

If you wanna do bottle void memes

[mighty badge]

Is bottle void good? I've never used it

[cloud nova]

I've not actually played pyre in an age so idk

[deft quail]

ask @vestal bluff

https://clips.twitch.tv/SmoothSneakyAlligatorPRChase-kNpuk8PfWV_m8TGE

[elder nimbus]

i like the arena with the sliding blocks - is it the spring? its just fun to be winning by a landslide and start trying to make a fort around the pyre

[deft quail]

Cairn of Ha'ub

[cloud nova]

I am eternally impressed by the standard of play in Lidvids

Meanwhile trundles towards Pyre how do I yeet?

[vestal bluff]

Bottled Void is a meme

But it has its uses

[uncut cobalt]

I have just started playing Pyre, been around 2 hours

is it always gonna be this linear?

[toxic python]

It opens on who you face/where later

What rite was the last one you did?

[uncut cobalt]

The one Rukey refused to do

[toxic python]

Ah dissidents, you are pretty esrly for that yet

Is like 5 rites more? Not sure

[uncut cobalt]

So far the game feels very cozy and nice, was just wondering if I should expect more for later on

like more choices to make or open exploration

[toxic python]

Most choices are basically, when going to a rite, through what route go
Later you can choose what foe to go against

Is also important the ability of choosing who does participate in the rites for later reasons

[uncut cobalt]

i'll look forward to that then!

[untold quartz]

It's totally canon that ?ae and Almer ||start a family if you lib them both||

Lemme dig it up on the text server, hang on

||Liberated with Mae: One day, he was to have a meeting with a dignitary of the Eighth Word, which had grown in popularity since the birth of the Sahrian Union. Almer was stunned to find that this dignitary was none other than the one he knew as Mae, from their days spent in exile. Mae was overjoyed to see him, though Almer was unable to bring himself to understand why. Eventually, of course, he did, and they since have ensured the Oldheart clan shall carry on in this new age.||

I always make sure they're together 💕

My hard and fast liberation rules: always keep those two together, always keep Iggy away from Jodi, never lib Trudie

||The woman runs a successful business and was living her best life before Volf dragged her into this, she's already given generously of her time and energy, I have no right to fling her back up there permanently 🤣||

[toxic python]

May i ask why iggy away from Jodi?

[cloud nova]

There's a lot of dislike for Iggy/Jodi (personally I quite like them) and they always get together if they're in the same realm

[vestal bluff]

While true, Flagging Hands smells bad and has the corpse of Yslach on her way to the office every day

[cloud nova]

Bertrude might appreciate yslachs corpse. Think of the reagents

[brittle robin]

(sorry I missed the self-promotion channel, will move it there)

[mighty badge]

i love bertrude so much god

nrrrgggghhhh....

GOD i love her so much i want to write a fanfic where the reader hangs out with her regularly

do you guys think the nightwings have nightwing reunions both in the downside and in the commonwealth

[cloud nova]

write the fanfic!

[forest grove]

I don't see why Nightwings would part ways in the Downside in the first place

[mighty badge]

well, the rites are over

depending on who you don't liberate they may or may not i guess? i usually leave mae, ti'zo, bertrude and the reader

bertrude has a business to run cause shes a girlboss

ti'zo stays in the blackwagon and mae goes on a pilgrimage

so i guess in the case of my playthrough it'd be the reader and ti'zo

[cloud nova]

Yeah but they meet up to go to Barker's rite-ball games

Ae brings Almer, who is like -_- this is blasphemous

Meanwhile Ae be like: we should play too let's make a team!

[mighty badge]

what really?

thats so cute

[cloud nova]

Canon doesn't say so :p but I think they would

[vestal bluff]

Shae, Almer, and Gilman would be a bomb-ass ritesball team

[cloud nova]

Speedster squad!

[dark phoenix]

Only way to beat the game 🙏

[uncut cobalt]

I'm curious, when you reunite with Volfred, what does the "bid everyone farewell" choice do?

I have yet to choose

i'm always tempted by tricky stuff like this but I'm lowkey afraid this time lmao

[heavy hill]

iirc hedwyn insists you stay

[toxic python]

Yeah Hedwyn stands for you

[uncut cobalt]

love him

[fierce star]

i just want to say i think its incredible i still havent beaten this yet. i dont know how i havent. i think this really might be my favorite sgg game and i haven't even beaten it yet?

its incredible how nothing makes you want to try harder then being told "its okay for you to lose"

[mystic kestrel]

Oh that's absolutely a mood

I did finish it? But I never was able to replay it after that, even though I meant to

It's definitely my favorite, but it felt so complete once I had done my first run that I just couldn't somehow

[foggy stratus]

its pyre-ing time :)

[midnight hawk]

pyre well

[foggy stratus]

the way i would die for fae

this close to just losing every match so i can keep my friends :(

[worthy berry]

have fun pyreing

[midnight hawk]

fae is so good

straight vibin all the time

[toxic python]

Fae our beloved

[foggy stratus]

reject problems embrace scribes

[foggy stratus]

does darren do the minstrels singing voice?

i love pamitha <3

[orchid acorn]

He does! also his speaking voice iirc

[foggy stratus]

oh nice

[foggy stratus]

im gonna miss rukey sm :(

[midnight hawk]

did you keep or shave his mustache?

[foggy stratus]

wait what

[trail talon]

somewhere along the line rukey must have asked you advice regarding his mustache…it usually happens early in the game. what was your response? it will be noted

[foggy stratus]

i mustve missed it

hes the first guy i liberated

[mighty badge]

i was reading a guide about how to get the bloodless revolution ending and it said the reader/oralech don't count as nightwings

i never understood this

i get the reader, because maybe they didn't personally participate in the rites

but oralech is technically a nightwing and helps the revolution

[worthy berry]

Pam 💜

[cloud nova]

Tbh I don't really see why the last exile is relevant either way....the revolution is already underway when you do the rite so it's a bit past the point for averting violence!

I see it as the Devs wanting to balance the scales of whether Oralech is the good/ethical choice to release.

As in, helping him is slightly more detrimental to the world

It also ||justifies Volfred refusing to throw the final rite||

[mighty badge]

how do you feel about releasing oralech?

[stuck acorn]

Torn

As in, he deserves it and if I'm going to deny his freedom I'd at least also leave Volfred down there with him.

[cloud nova]

I want Volfred and Oralech to be together, my only criteria

[young folio]

in my first playthrough, i liberated them both... i like that outcome

[mighty badge]

Me too

[worldly ether]

YEAH SAME

[kind plank]

I introduced my Big Kid to “Pyre” today. Since he’s the Reader, I’m making him read all the dialogue out to me for practice. He loves Rukey already.

[toxic python]

who doesnt love him tbf

[midnight hawk]

aww thats cute

[clever pendant]

We all love Rukey (I sent him first) I'm loving Pyre so far

[brittle robin]

Rukey was my first too!! Best boy ever 💙💙💙

[foggy stratus]

Me too!

i just wantwd him to see his family :(

[brittle robin]

I feel weird about the "crimes" of the exiled bc sometimes the sentences seems so arbitrary...

[toxic python]

Commonwealth moment

[dark phoenix]

i‘m an uncultured heathen, is there lore about the political and judicial system of the commonwealth?

[kind plank]

There’s hints dropped that it’s a very authoritative system where dissenters and intellectuals are strictly punished, but hard data is lacking.

Greg Kasavin is an immigrant from the USSR, so my headcannon has always been that the Commonwealth falls along the lines of a fantasy version of it.

[toxic python]

Seeing some of the reasons for exile *cough cough, barker
You can also say how corrupt is the sytem anyways too

Like is not even normal prison they just throw you to die for whatever resson they can

[bright breach]

So I have a new wallpaper for my phone... https://preview.redd.it/qijv9qf2e9ba1.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=d9e74ffe4c872626410d787a182e885ca0ec685e

I had to put it together myself, why is this not findable on the internet?

[spiral zealot]

wow looks great

[strange skiff]

i love that

[haughty hollow]

ngl listening to snow in summer from nier replicant and playing pyre, specifically at scribesgate and playing the liberation rite, is cool as hell

both games are not remotely similar in any way, but ive just been obsessing over each game that it feels like some songs could fit with the other

[ionic pendant]

Started replaying Pyre in true nightwings mode

am I the only one here who always loses first to Umhilde and the Withdrawn?

[toxic python]

Nah

I def lost that first rite a lot

[ionic pendant]

It's either the hope debuff or the stage hazards

God I always regress back into my Pyre brainrot at least once a year and this time it came early

||Also what the HECK is up with Tariq and his "nature"||

||He just says that, refuses to elaborate, then leaves||

[toxic python]

I forgot the hope debuff exists lol

For me mainly is im never confortable vs crones

Big jumps confsue me

[ionic pendant]

Umhilde's savages managed to get the slip on me and put out my Pyre

[forest grove]

It might be a deliberate early spike in difficulty to drive home the overarching point of the game: win or lose, you gotta see the whole thing through.

[kind plank]

Playing “Pyre” with a young Reader, Day 2: I may have awoken my children’s inner metal heads with “thrash pack” (the dissidents theme). Big Kid is starting to read the character lines with expression which is pretty neat. He loves that Ti’zo can fly.

[vestal bluff]

Udmildhe is probably the strongest AI team. Tam’s team is a close second

[safe adder]

the Withdrawn is my most hated triumvirate, followed by the Accusers after they get the demons

[ionic pendant]

Based

wonder what they will think about Umhilde's theme

[trail talon]

seeing lendel almost completely hidden by his demon teammates is funny though

[kind plank]

Playing “Pyre” with a young Reader, Day 3: Umhilde scared the stuffing out of poor Big Kid, but he soldiered through with the help of my friend’s glorious Slavic accent reading her lines. He’s very eager to find out what the dark stars do, which I assured him he would learn in time.

[ionic pendant]

Oh boy will he learn in time

who's your kid's favorite Nightwing member so far?

[kind plank]

It seems to be a tie between Rukey and *ae.

[worldly ether]

What did you name her

[foggy stratus]

fae for me!

[toxic python]

Common Fae win

[spiral zealot]

Im a mae the moontouched type of person

[midnight hawk]

team fae

[foggy stratus]

xae is also acceptable

[dark phoenix]

fae goated

[worldly ether]

Lets go fae

[kind plank]

Mine was Fae; Big Kid choose Rhae.

Young Reader Playthrough, Day 4: Big Bertrude’s way of speaking gave Big Kid some trouble and much concern was had over Hedwyn’s seasickness. The wyrm-knights are officially the funniest thing ever.

[spiral zealot]

Young Kid is correct in believing the knights are funny

[trail talon]

the kid has good judgement

[green holly]

I named her Rhae!

I’m replaying this game since my previous files got corrupted. I bought it on itch.io instead of steam 🫠

[vestal bluff]

Shae gang

[cloud nova]

Shae gang!

[ionic pendant]

I picked Mae

also funny you mention Wyrm Knights because I am currently thinking about Sir Gilman

[warm marsh]

wow i'm surprised so many people choose fae as well
it's a canon now

[trail talon]

i’m surprised so few people choose rhae

it sounds very cool when aj introduces her as “rhae the wretched” with the rolled r’s

[heavy hill]

firm xae believer here

[worthy berry]

In xae we trust

[untold quartz]

Late to Shae gang!

Back in the day on the old fan Discord, there was a poll on _ae name choice, and Fae and Mae ran away with it

[clever pendant]

My favorite character so far
Just look at that face

[devout shuttle]

Fae was the one for me!
Really think it fits the moon-touched girl with the mysticism around her

[midnight hawk]

one of my fav parts of the game

[warm marsh]

very realistic answer btw
for women of her age

[foggy stratus]

my favorite character os definitely sandra

[kind plank]

Young Reader Playthrough, Day 5: Can you imagine anything more adorable thing than a child reading Sir Gilman’s lines with all his acting might? No, you can’t.

He decided to play a Rite on his own and got stomped by the Highwings, took it surprisingly well.

[foggy stratus]

this is literally the cutest thing

[arctic shale]

i think fae and rhae are my faves

also i love young reader please tell us more as it comes

Every Sunday at 3 pm EST, yes

[foggy carbon]

woa why is it so specific?

is there a schedule

[toxic python]

The ti'zo gif will always make me laugh

[ionic pendant]

Guys what are your stances on setting *ae free?

I liberated her not too long ago and I happen to feel conflicted about it

[midnight hawk]

i think she can thrive pretty well in either environment but i found the downside more suited to her

[toxic python]

It really helps that *ae has nice relationships with lots of chara, so mostly i let her stay on the side with most of her friends (and sometimes i stick with letting her stay with almer)

[warm marsh]

yeah, at large she was still an outsider and found only misunderstanding

i couldn't separate her from Ti'zo, it would be cruel

[worldly ether]

Tizo yes but also jodariel

[unborn copper]

^Live now!

[ionic pendant]

I'm conflicted because she deserves a better life than one spent trying to survive in the downside

Knowing how the Downside is supposedly a nightmare to live in, I thought that it was unfair to put a young girl like her in a place like this for absolutely no reason

but then again I've also seen that you can find a good life here and even see a certain beauty in the place

[south crane]

Weird question, but has a full map of the Downside ever been released?

Frankly not even sure if something like that would be possible, given how each area is separated by fog and have such differing geography.

[vestal bluff]

Not a weird question, it gets asked relatively often, but the answer is sadly no

I believe that people have merged together screenshots to make a complete map, but there isn’t an officially released Downside map

[ionic pendant]

I don't think a coherent map can even be made given by how insane the paths the wagon takes are ingame

it just comes off one end of the screen only to end up in a completely unconnected part of the map like it's in a scooby doo corridor scene

Also is anyone still confused as to what exactly Tariq's origins are?

Like that one piece of dialogue about the book saying that it reveals something about his "true nature" and then refusing to elaborate still keeps me up at night

(... I wanted to send an image but the image link I wanted to send had a bad word in it apparently)

It's like https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1029347898175004713/1067032632560472115/image.png?width=1440&height=537

[vestal bluff]

The only detail it reveals is that the Liberation Rites are presided over by “heralds from the stars”

Which we know are these two

But yeah, as for “something of [Tariq’s] nature”, that’s as much as we get

[spiral zealot]

I mean there's the imgur link of the full sets of areas so it can kinds be constructed together based off of how the wagon moves but would still looking jarring

[ionic pendant]

Which part of the book is this? Is it in Soliam's chapter?

[vestal bluff]

yep

[ionic pendant]

and here I thought I've read the entire book

[pale radish]

Anyone have a rough estimate of how long the game would take to 100%? Transistor and Bastion both took me around like 8 hours, but these achievements seem wayyyy harder

[young folio]

the game took me 15 hours to complete at first and you need to play it at least twice to 100% but in my experience bastion had the hardest achievements

they were also the most fun for me to do

[pale radish]

Hmm 20+ hours seems like a very big investment for someone that hates sports games oof

[toxic python]

Yeah lot of achievements will take another playthrough (mainly the true nightwings and the 200 pyre dmg as x character ones)

The titan stars one can take a while if you dont know what you are doing (or refuse to cheese it)

[ionic pendant]

Esp if you're on Heightened with Yslach's star activated

Also a lot of Pyre involved decisions where you never get to see the other choices ever again in the story so yeah it can be difficult

[heavy hill]

fortunately all the achievements are related to rites

i unlocked most of the campaign achievements without really trying, but there's a couple that i never got naturally (40 damage with one dousing and volfred's 200 damage achievement I think)

theyr'e not hard just time consuming

[zealous dawn]

If I recall correctly, 200 damage for characters and 40 hit can be unlocked via ||Beyonders' Crystal||

[toxic python]

huh, neat

[ionic pendant]

What happens to the enemy triumvirate after their leader is liberated?

do you just never face them ever again?

[rigid gazelle]

Yup, you'll get a line that in summary says that triumvirate is unable to find a leader to regroup in time and you probably won't be facing them any time soon

[ionic pendant]

what about the Fate?

they have either Almer or Dalbert

[cloud nova]

If you lib the fate ||Dalbert retires after giving his freedom to Almer||

[pale radish]

Man 10 hours in and still only 4/51 achievements.. not sure about this one lol

[young folio]

if youre already playing you should focus on having fun and enjoying the game, especially for the story, not the achievements imo

[pale radish]

Well, thing is, I hate sports games lol
So quite frankly I find the gameplay incredibly boring

[foggy stratus]

You don’t really have to play then

[untold quartz]

I mean, the Rites are only part of the gameplay?

[young folio]

not playing the rites is a viable way to play

[untold quartz]

I didn't get good at them until almost the end of my first playthrough, but I still really enjoyed the other aspects of the gameplay--unlocking information about my teammates and progressing through the Downside

Basking in the lore, reading the Book

Soaking up the visuals and music 💕

[young folio]

you dont have to win every single one, ive had a run where i lost all of them on purpose and just sat them out until it ended. in a way i got more out of it than a regular run

[foggy stratus]

I need to keep playing pyre actually

It’s been a bit

[pale radish]

The rites aren't hard at all, I've won every single one so far

[foggy stratus]

the only rite i care a lot about are the liberation ones

[pale radish]

It's just most of the achievements seem incredibly grueling to get

[foggy stratus]

I know it’s okay to fail and all but i will play over and over and over

i get too emotionally attached to the gang and i just wanna see them happy 😔

[pale radish]

I wanted to 100% every SG game before Hades 2 but might just ignore Pyre and pretend it doesn't exist lol

[young folio]

theyre really not that hard and its the most fun ive had with the achievements in any sg game but if you hate it dont force yourself to do it

[pale radish]

I guess Pyre just isn't a short game like Bastion or Transistor

100% both of those games in like 6 hours each lol

[foggy stratus]

It’s shorter then youd think

But definitely less rrhen hades

And more then those two

I feel like making a physical book of rites would be very fun

[ionic pendant]

I would be so sold for a physical book of rites

imagine if the star sigil on the cover sparkled like it did in the game

I would bring it with me everywhere

[foggy stratus]

oh sick!

i might make one as a prop for a cosplay one day

maybe sandra, maybe fae

[worthy berry]

Ping me if you ever make a sandra one ~~

[foggy stratus]

okay bet

she doesnt seem too hard and also i adore

[foggy stratus]

jodi is easily my highest leveled character but i cannot let her go

oh god its gonna have to be hedwyn fae or jodi

[foggy stratus]

i won but omg im shaking

Gonna miss hedwyn so much

[prime dirge]

Hedwyn

[foggy stratus]

that was so intense though

[foggy stratus]

whos gonna cook tizo pizza now :(

[prime dirge]

Junction Jan's, actually
Here context:
#supergiant-games message

[prime dirge]

Please, tell me it wasn't against the Fate

[foggy stratus]

It was against the uhh

I forgot the name

The one with the witch

it feels so empty without rukey and hedwyn

and i have a feeling jodi is next

sixteen years D:

and also i want the trio to be together

[prime dirge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/585974266281984020.webp?size=96&quality=lossless

That's a scary team to face!

[foggy stratus]

omg I just got bertrude

[prime dirge]

(The Withdrawn)

[foggy stratus]

shes so funny

Ahh thats it

[prime dirge]

Bertrude is amazing! Her dialog is just phenomenal

~~and her chats with Hedwyn, ooooh those chats ~~

[foggy stratus]

my record is 7-5 but all my losses were on keyboard so i blame that

controller is much easier for me

and also i suck at sports games

[prime dirge]

Playing on normal/easy is valid. I played on normal

[foggy stratus]

I’m playing normal too

Maybe when i finish ill play on a harder mode

dude idk how im gonna let any of them go :(((

[prime dirge]

That's a good idea. Also pick different exiles, pick different routes

I know Pyre is so cruel and makes you feel all the feels

[foggy stratus]

If i don’t end up doing jodi i think it’ll be gilman next

i think he deserves another chance in the commonwealth

[prime dirge]

It sometimes takes me like 10 mins to figure out who Imma try liberate, there's just too many things to sort out

[foggy stratus]

Yeah for sure

i cant let fae go i love her too much

[prime dirge]

If you haven't met the Fate in a Lib rite by the time you're replaying, I'd suggest giving them a chance. Meeting them at the top is a major Pyre moment even though I shouldn't elaborate why

[foggy stratus]

I’ll try!

[prime dirge]

Maybe your next interactions reveal more of Jodi's backstory. Things may change by the time it's lib time again

[foggy stratus]

true

[prime dirge]

Fwiw I really liked it when the Reader says "It's liberating time" and liberates everyone

[foggy stratus]

so far i know about the sixteen years bit

[prime dirge]

~~and there's more backstory ~~

[foggy stratus]

and her history with harpies

👀

[prime dirge]

👀

[foggy stratus]

i am going to go beat up tamitha brb

sandra is still giving me the silent treatment

[prime dirge]

Have fun, let us know how it goes, who's looking like you'll liberate, all that juicy stuff. Haven't had someone play Pyre for the first time in a while 😅

[foggy stratus]

juicy pam lore 👀

Tamitha has been beaten up

ooh bertrude masteries

sandra still wont talk to me :((

I am too broke to buy the fancy rings

whats the least punishing titan star

[brisk prawn]

Hmmm it really depends which team you're against
I usually pick the one that doesn't enhance the skill they're already good at 😅

Also your general playstyle, for example the tattered mantle might be fine if you don't use the tactic of jumping onto opponents with the orb etc etc

[foggy stratus]

wait you can do that

ORALECH

WOAH

WAIT I HAVE TO FIGHT HIM??

this is not the emo boy accuser i signed up to fight

[vestal bluff]

Believe in yourself

You got this

[ionic pendant]

Oralech terrifies me

I still remember playing versus mode with my brother when I first got the game

[foggy stratus]

I had to redo the rite but i won omg

[ionic pendant]

had no idea of the story and no context of the characters

so there was nothing that could have prepared me for Oralech's TWENTY DEMON AGILITY

[ionic pendant]

[ionic pendant]

Khaylmer's Anklet?

[foggy stratus]

Yup

[ionic pendant]

How do you use Khaylmer's Anklet? Honestly I don't find myself using the Scribe Talismans often

[foggy stratus]

Oh god its liberating time

i just aura cast into walls where theyre at

it usually hits one and then bounces and hits another one

i gotta fight the dissident’s

makes me miss rukey

[ionic pendant]

lament not for him, for he is with his mother

[foggy stratus]

i still think im going to liberate jodi

She deserves it more then anyone

[icy grove]

I finished Pyre for the first time on Tuesday night and can’t stop thinking about it

Jodi deserves it for sure ❤️ best angry mom

[ionic pendant]

I am so normal about Pyre

it is so important to me

[foggy stratus]

it took many times and much stress but i won

damn dogs

IM GONNA MISS HER SMMM

WHAT

Just learned about the stars fading thing

there better not be an oralech here i will finally beat up this emo boy

Sandraaaa

She doesnt hate me anymore!!!

Its volfred isnt it

oh yeah btw mods lmk what spoilers i should be tagging if you see this i dont want to mess it up for everyone else

love falcon ron

[vestal bluff]

Ron the real unsung hero

[dark pewter]

wassaup

[midnight hawk]

we currently have no spoiler rules here so it's at your own discretion whether or not you wish to use them

but it's great you're enjoying the game so much

[toxic python]

First Oralech appearance will never not be great

[ionic pendant]

Him just appearing in your blackwagon

peak fiction

[toxic python]

Also coming back to this, glad i wasnt the only feeling like this ||tho i dont remember was the traitor line cuz Aj thought you were on his side or a totally different thing||

[foggy stratus]

uhh the line was like “okay fine i have to tell you this theres a traitor” i think

beating up lendel is my favorite hobby tbh

[toxic python]

I spoiler marked it to consider you were playing for the first time

[foggy stratus]

okay theres the “fine we cant be friends anymore” one

[toxic python]

Get rekt lendel

Great theme but god i hate u and ur arena

[foggy stratus]

so true

cool lore but also i hate you

i need to use tizo more tbh

but i also dont mind him not getting liberated immediately he seems pretty happy

[toxic python]

Ti'zo is chill with anyone basically

Except lendel

[toxic python]

Wait i just realized i was thinking of manley lol

Then i dont hate lendel arena

[foggy stratus]

i thinnk im gonna let pam go next

which is so sad bc i adore her and she is my crutch in the rites

[toxic python]

Pam is so fun to play

Her salute skill is nice

[foggy stratus]

update lendel beat me up

This is so sad

[toxic python]

Ouch

[foggy stratus]

still 2-1 though

[toxic python]

Hope he doesnt reach the lib rite

[foggy stratus]

hopefully

I want to have a match against the fate at the lib rite

[toxic python]

Tho if he does, if would be awfully funny to put tizo on spot

[foggy stratus]

my record is 11-6

[toxic python]

Oh yeah, have you gotten your first match on the isle of khaylmer?

[foggy stratus]

Uhhh

I think so

Yeah

[toxic python]

Was gonna ask who did you get there

I wanna get all teams reactions to the imps

(i only have the fate there :c)

[foggy stratus]

I’m not sure

JODI NEWS

Very happy about that

pams trial was much easier then faes

On the eight scribes. Welcome

[ionic pendant]

Good evening, new exile

dare you tamper with forbidden knowledge? So soon into your sentence?

[ionic pendant]

You ever just think about how many versions of "Never to return" are there

and still feel like there should be more

We still need a version where the vocals are replaced by Red humming the lyrics

[toxic python]

We have 8 versions no? Not counting any unused one

Pyrehearts and dissidents are prob my fav versions of it

[ionic pendant]

I just listened to the accusers version and it gives big transistor vibes

I think it's so interesting whenever I get a vibe from something that feels similar to a previous game that supergiant made

they always say that the later games wouldn't have existed if not for the previous game

[toxic python]

Decided to continue a file i had left at khaylmer isle

First match after i continue is Oralech

Amazing

I missed his version of will of the scribes

Also this true nightwings so uh

Gonna have fun

Yeah yeah shut up Aj

Let the demon doctor be angey

Ez

And now vs Tham at lib rite

[toxic python]

And godspeed hedwyn

now welcome ||volfred|| and enough for today

[toxic python]

i just learned you can right click to make the wagon use the horn while flying????

i love this

wait it also works while not flying

[toxic python]

"certain imps expressions resist translation*

Oh Ti'zo i love u

Goodbye tizo and get rekt lendel

Now im conflicted

Do i ||keep oralech with Tizo or fulfill Hedwyns promise about the og 4 go free||

And speech time :p

[toxic python]

Oh and now i also need pressure to liberate Kae :)

[foggy stratus]

Kae

I like it

[toxic python]

Is a pretty name

I dont even remember why i picked it up, just that i wanted to swap Fae for once lol

And hello ||Oralech 2, how the hell did you get in the wagon edition||

[foggy stratus]

whats her title

like fae the fair

[toxic python]

Is the title only shown when picking up her name the first time?

Cuz if yes i dont remember

This file is prob months old

[foggy stratus]

my guess is kae the kind or something

Kae the Unkempt

Wow the other titles are weird

[toxic python]

Man i love ninja savages

So fun to just be in the other pyre in 2 jumps

Lol

Got the ||triple banishment sickness but cuz i only have 5 exiles, volfred didnt actually get sick||

Finally time for volfred's trial

Fun talisman time

||"you are nothing reader", ok well idc, a birb is gonna success in throwing you out (peacefully)||

[ionic pendant]

The wagon has a horn???

[toxic python]

Apparently lol

[toxic python]

||"you may rejoin the others in a while. For now... i would hear those words of you"
(mourning song starts playing) ||

ok chastity ai was sad

goodbye kae

[toxic python]

i got to taunt them for the last dunk tho

bless berthrude salute lol

also i love interacting with the trinkets on the wagon

just noticed the tiny tempest

I cant hate the voice lmao

"fine well, the nightwings did prevail"

Time to see if this time i pull off the 12 stars lib rite against you know who

Also im glad my last normal rite was on ridge of gol

[vestal bluff]

Buy all of Ron’s potions and give them to your team

Their effects stack

[toxic python]

Bought them a few rites ago

[vestal bluff]

rip

[toxic python]

Havent used them so dw

"the beyonder crystal seeks you"

Here goes nothing

Still got rekt

Got it down to 43 tho

AND THUS, THE SCRIBES HAVE CHOSEN!?

i love this part so mucj

Godspeed, ||Oralech||

And ||peaceful revolt||

Havent got one since like the 2nd playthrough lol

[prime dirge]

There's a funny fic about these 📢 shenanigans

The Blackwagon gets a warning horn, and it takes the Reader 0.05 seconds to start cheerfully misusing it.
#fan-works message

[toxic python]

wait udmhilde is done by Darren?

how i never noticed that lmao

[ionic pendant]

Amazing how many voices they pulled off with such a sparse cast of voice actors

Logan Cunningham voices like three people from what I know

so different too

[vestal bluff]

The same man voicing Deluge and Oralech is always amazing to me

[ionic pendant]

What

[stuck acorn]

He also voices Bertrude

So versatile it's crazy

[toxic python]

Loghan stop voicing my fav character in all the games challenge (impossible)

[young folio]

that does not seem right, hold on

yep bertrude is logan

but deluge and oralech is greg

[ionic pendant]

Just continued my True Nightwings playthrough

Finally met Oralech!! Always fun whenever I run into that fellow!

(he beat my behind three times over in our first rite against each other)

||God him appearing in your blackwagon is always so impactful to me||

||I'm just caught there with no way to react other than "HEEEEYYYY ORALECH MY GUY MY DUDE WANT MOONSHINE?||

||(I rapidly click Pamitha's bottle in a panic)||

||I also tried to make one more futile attempt to maybe talk to Sandra but she just left me hanging while Oralech just stood there 😭 ||

[toxic python]

I use that trinket that makes the background all red colored whenever this happens

[trail talon]

||i remember pinging around the mount alodiel stone nervously||

[kind plank]

Young Reader Playthrough, Day 6: Big Kid throughly enjoyed stomping The Chasity (“He tried to cheat and he STILL LOST!”). He is very, very interested in what that special star could mean.

[trail talon]

kid is absolutely correct to dunk on the chastity

[toxic python]

Is it time for the feels™

Also yeah dunk the chastity

Now curious, who are their 3 with most enlightment?

[kind plank]

Almost feels time. I’ve already set the precedent that Big Kid makes all the choices, so I am interested to see what he does.

[foggy stratus]

ohoho

You gotta let us know what happens!!

[kind plank]

Rukey for sure. Big Kid loves him. Ti’zo, Pamitha, Hedwyn, maybe *ae?

He likes the cute fast ones.

[foggy stratus]

oh what did he name ae

[kind plank]

He also correctly deduced that ||in order for Pamitha and Jodiarel to play together, he has to help them “learn to get along”||.

[kind plank]

Rhae. He’s doing phonics at school so he thought the “rh” was cool.

[toxic python]

||you can "force" them to play in a lib rite too iirc||

[foggy stratus]

Aww

what are his opinions on pam

[kind plank]

He thinks it’s cool that she can fly. Unfortunately, he gets tired of reading because of the high level vocabulary so we don’t end up doing many of the extra dialogues.

[toxic python]

Pam is so fun on gameplay

[foggy stratus]

oh one more question, has he met sandra and what does he think?

[kind plank]

I like the quick and cheaty ones, so I played a lot of Gilman, Rukey, and Ti’zo on my first play.

[toxic python]

Gilman my beloved

[foggy stratus]

gilman is so funny

little guy

[kind plank]

He’s met Sandra. His take was “she’s rude” and never touched it again.

[toxic python]

Tho through rite night and seeing deluge i basically play him like ti'zo

Rush to the enemy team with vengeful vow and respawn asap with that 1 mastery

Also Gilman has my 2nd or 3rd fav salute skill tbh

[foggy stratus]

😔

sad day for the sandra squad

i would be rude too if i was trapped in a ball for eternity

[ionic pendant]

The concept of Oralech purposely making the lighting more menacing while he's there is very funny

[ionic pendant]

God I just thought about how Tariq might be an alien and I just envisioned a version of the "bogos binted meme" but the first note of The Old ways starts playing

the exchange happening between Tariq and Volfred

[ionic pendant]

Why is AJ so angry at Volfred and the Reader again?

[toxic python]

Not verey happy about planning to overthowing him and thw whole throw criminal people out, you know

Also extra hurt by you cuz he thought you would follow his steps if you went free

[ionic pendant]

Soooo

I may have lost the liberation rite against Lendel

Those two demons of his are NO JOKE

[ionic pendant]

Just finished my True Nightwings playthrough... My respect for Oralech has increased a thousand fold

[toxic python]

Oralech

[ionic pendant]

Such a chad

||I lost against him in the Final Liberation Rite if you're wondering||

[toxic python]

as someone who also finished their TN file a bit before? 🤝

Lad wasnt known as one of the best for nothing

[ionic pendant]

So goated

[toxic python]

how many stars you used?

[ionic pendant]

||I let him have his freedom because I had faith in him. My faith in him was well placed||

[ionic pendant]

I do not claim to be a pro at Pyre, for the most part I used the minimum allowed

there was a bit where I balled harder than usual and kept one more star on than the required amount

[toxic python]

||same, tho not without at least making him understand volfred point||

[ionic pendant]

that being Yslach's star, which remained on for the rest of the playthrough

[toxic python]

oh we got similar experiences then

i started slapping yslach star since i think when 5 or 6 stars were required?

never dropped it

only 2 rites i tried 12 stars tho

[ionic pendant]

I swear the usual previews of pyre in the trailers PALE IN COMPARISON to when heightened + Yslach's star is on

[toxic python]

first pyrehearts rite and ||last lib rite||

[ionic pendant]

the gameplay can get so chaotic, and rites can go nowhere for a minute or two if both players are equally skilled

It's so much fun

[toxic python]

yeee

[toxic python]

you can go for 40+ mins if you make dumb things too

[ionic pendant]

one of my earliest experiences with yslach's star was against the dissidents

their auras were comically and uncharacteristically large

and they kept firing and firing

I was hard pressed to find an opening

[toxic python]

my first experience in general with yslach was probably against withdrawn

[ionic pendant]

fitting

[toxic python]

thanks to berthrude suggestion

||results didnt matter cuz was like the second to last rite but shhh||

[ionic pendant]

I feel like my performance dropping after I let *ae and Rukey, two of my best strikers that I liked to pair with the righteous flame talisman, taught me something about how much I rely on my friends and such

and yet I stuck with the ones that remained, as they did with me

truly I have found a nugget of wisdom from this experience

[toxic python]

For the 40 mins match k was referring

Tho there is also the double sap + black hoof imp that is also hilariously painful to watch

[ionic pendant]

Oh my God

also was that a mod? I saw an unnamed Beyonder Sap in there

[toxic python]

Yeah rite nite has extra characters modded in

It also has my most beloved change

Glade of lu doesnt get covered in vines

[ionic pendant]

and it's still ongoing apparently?

Someone messages here to notify about Rite Nites

[toxic python]

Yup

[ionic pendant]

I'm heartened to hear that

[toxic python]

Is a fun experoence tho i havent been there in a while

Either watching or participating

[ionic pendant]

Pyre is so important to me
I'm glad that it has a dedicated group for conducting rites

[toxic python]

Is such a blessed game

Also 100% "whish i could replay this blind" material

First lib rite is just

[young folio]

i dont participate in rite nite except to pop in rarely to watch it but im so glad it exists

[ionic pendant]

I should catch the next one

[toxic python]

There is also vods on yt

[ionic pendant]

toss 25 sols to the sickest play

[toxic python]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W5me0OxgXY

[ionic pendant]

Scribes bless

[toxic python]

Rite nite also left me to discover my fav way to play savages

Salute skill goes brrr

[ionic pendant]

Oh my God

so true

I had this really sick play on my first liberation rite against the Tempers involving that

let me see if I can send it here somehow

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1029347898175004713/1070727442639102034/VID_20230202232812.mp4

here it is, in all it's compressed glory

not sure it it's shown too well but I used Tizo to throw the orb further in, then used Mae (my name for her) to zip straight to the orb, past Ignarius then straight into the Pyre

[toxic python]

Ninja savage gaming

I love having the star splitter and the faster throwing mastery

Hold throw for like 1 sec and already at max dmg

[ionic pendant]

"Woe

orb be upon ye"

[toxic python]

Nah thats the demons with the orb banishing mastery

[ionic pendant]

ah I confused the names

[toxic python]

Nah was memeing

[ionic pendant]

I confused it for shooting star

[toxic python]

Ah

Start splitter is the +80% in throwing speed

Although shooting star is also fun for savages

Also shotouts to saps throwing the orb too

Their range is h u g e

[ionic pendant]

I should try that sometime

usually my best offensive option for saps is to ask the enemy to politely stand still while I walk towards them with my aura

[toxic python]

I spam the detonate sap skill like there isnt any better

Tho for volfred trial i usually just plant sap in orb > take > throw from there

But saps special talisman is also so fun

[ionic pendant]

I prefer my saps to be defensive

but oh my God killer queen Volfred is so much fun

I think the Knot talisman increases the explosion radius?

[toxic python]

Saps talisman increases blink distance

I dont use much unique talismans now that i see lol

Mainly hedwyn's and volfred talisman

[ionic pendant]

Holding the ashen coal was nearly mandatory for me so can't say I used the scribe talismans much either

[toxic python]

Ti'zo is a great one too but the lantern is just too good with him

[ionic pendant]

my favorite was Triesta's plume

[toxic python]

Oh yeah the plume is fantastic

[young folio]

remember when plume was nerfed from 100% return chance

because i do

[ionic pendant]

It had a 100% return chance??

[young folio]

when the game released yep

[toxic python]

Prayer beads but you get +5 dmg too!?

Amazing

Also on topic of prayer beads

I loveeeee having bethrude use it

[ionic pendant]

Harps are so goated
I loved that one perk where you could press cast again to release an aura burst whiel you charge

[ionic pendant]

I remember playing versus mode with my brother when we first got the game and he LOVED dunking on my Pyre with Oralech + Prayer Beads

[toxic python]

Teach him about demons on the boat

Boat magic is stupid fun

[ionic pendant]

The Hulk of Ores?

[toxic python]

Ye

[ionic pendant]

gotta be one of my favorite map gimmicks

[toxic python]

The water boost thing gets hilarious

[young folio]

til (by looking at patch notes) F11 toggles hud in this game..... i totally forgot it or never knew

[ionic pendant]

I only discovered that earlier

[toxic python]

https://clips.twitch.tv/MagnificentSweetStarTinyFace-g91hrd7O4rBlaakA

[toxic python]

I love that for backgrounds shota

Or screenshots in the credits without you know, the credits

[ionic pendant]

GOD

Oralech's 25 agility solidified my impression of him as an incredibly intimidating and horrifying to face character

"BLASTED SHADOW OF THE FALSE NIGHTWINGS

I AM BALLIN'"

[toxic python]

Scribes be dammed that demon can dunk

[toxic python]

Oralech + black claw + stamina on banishment = fun

[ionic pendant]

They allow Oralech to be used in Rite nite?

[toxic python]

Yeah

Rite nite is basically just matches with sometimes request for certain characters compositions

Only thing about using oralech is be prepared to build to have him back through other means

[ionic pendant]

oh yeah his hope is dismally low

[toxic python]

1 hope means you can use astral eye without downsides lol

But also the implications of 1 hope

[ionic pendant]

I guess that's balancing enough

Also I noticed that they have the colors of the triumverates in the clip

[toxic python]

Fun QoL mod

It also has extra songs added (all never to return versions + character themes)

[ionic pendant]

Never thought that Pyre would have mods, I'm glad to know that as well

[toxic python]

The mods are in the rite nite discord btw

Just dont play the campaign with them

[ionic pendant]

I shall consider joining some time soon

[toxic python]

Early welcome then!

Even just chilling in chat is fun when you wanna throw weird requests for team compositions lol

[toxic python]

by the scribes we gather in their name
Why is never to return so goood

Tho idk if i enjoy the specifc verses more or the who lights the way, for the aimless verse

[ionic pendant]

One day I will be able to hit the notes in the "REPEEEEEEENT" verse

Do any of the songs have existing tabs? Need it for... research purposes

[toxic python]

I dont think so?

Im not much into playing music myself so i never looked into it in first place

Also i probably asked this here before but for anyone new seeing this

Favorite scribe?

For me is Ores but Ha'ub is close second

[ionic pendant]

If we're going by impactful quotes

it's Triesta for me. I like her "You need not wings to be free, for I have wings and they only brought me here" quote

but also Jomuer because of what he said about finding a certain beauty in the downside, which I did

[toxic python]

Ores for me is just great

Fighting against insane creature? Just ram it with your boat

Ha'ub cuz i love his reason to create the dissidents

Also in general, imps are insane

[ionic pendant]

The blast of said boat was so powerful that it supposedly only left him to tell the tale

[orchid canyon]

I was able to find a fanmade vagrant song tab at some point, but I think there are only official tabs for bastion and transistor songs so far (edit: found the vagrant song link https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/misc-computer-games/pyre-vagrant-song-tabs-2317775)

and then the “how to play lament of Orpheus” video

[vestal bluff]

We’re glad you exist too

[deft quail]

Oralech is allowed for rite nite but when we do tournaments he is banned

[foggy stratus]

Rite nite is so cool
maybe when im done with the game ill join in sometime

[vestal bluff]

Hell yeah, that’s the spirit

…did not mean to @

Young Reader Playthrough Day 6, Part One: Holy cow, Volfred talks a lot. Big Kid is reading through as fast as he can and not really getting what’s about to happen. He’s very much enjoying the scenes along the trail though.

Young Reader Playthrough Day 6, Part Two: Big Kid is now very much getting what’s about to happen after Hedwyn asks his clarifying questions, and now Big Kid would like to know ||if he should throw the Lib rite so everyone can stay together.|| It takes a minute for me to talk him out of this idea. Now the plan ||is to win every Lib rite so they can all go home. I don’t tell him that this is impossible.|| Ignarius isn’t as scary as Bertrude, and Big Kid thinks Jodi’s scorning of him is hilarious.

Young Reader Playthrough Day 6, Part Three: Decision time. The choices are Hedywn, Rukey, and Ti’zo. Big Kid waffles over this for a good five minutes and ultimately chooses Ti’zo since ||he doesn’t want to break up the original three and can’t decide who should take priority between Rukey’s mama and Hedwyn’s love interest.|| We prevail in the rite ||and Big Kid’s thrill at winning is immediately crushed once he realizes Ti’zo is really gone. I end up reading Ti’zo’s farewell messages since Big Kid is “too sad to read”. We don’t quite get tears, but it’s a close thing.||

[toxic python]

Anything about never to return?

[kind plank]

Oh, he loved it.

[prime dirge]

[foggy stratus]

Me and your kid are the opposite, i liberated all the original three first

but awww that’s so sad and also adorable
bye bye tizo

[kind plank]

He really didn’t want them to be separated.

[ionic pendant]

After all, Hedwyn promised they'd all return together

[toxic python]

i havent fulfilled that promise in so long

[ionic pendant]

||I never shall||

Can I just say that the Accusers win screen looks so funny when Lendel is paired with his two demon companions

[young folio]

LOL i remember taking a screenshot of that as well and looked through my screenshots and found this

[toxic python]

How

[zealous dawn]

Wait, how

[young folio]

it was a bug, it was fixed

[zealous dawn]

What was the bug?

Like, connected to what?

[toxic python]

||the only way im fulfilling that promise would be having the ability to liberate Oralech earlier tbh/or have all his friends in the downside||

[ionic pendant]

Imagine having losing a liberation rite only to hang on by 0.6 Pyre health

[young folio]

oh it seems to be a combination of titan stars and living flame

or was. it was definitely fixed

[midnight hawk]

eight largest ethnic groups? sounds like free reign for new pyre races

Big Kid Playthrough, Day 7: Toddler is still looking for Ti’zo, but eventually accepted that he went home. We had some sisterly drama between our favorite wingy girls.

obviously the essence the rites are so fun

[midnight hawk]

the essence are one of my least favorite triumvirates to play against

they're sooo hard

[toxic python]

the one with barker on it

Amazing

Anyways pyrehearts my beloved

But not like the actual team

Ores + his reason for the pyrehearts is great

Slowly ingraining into my coworker's brains that they should play Pyre

I've already converted some to Hades as a first step into the Pyrening

Young Reader Playthrough, Day 8: Big Kid attempted Hedwyn’s scribe trial… went about as well as expected. I gave it two goes, then suggested we head back to the story. Big Kid was hardcore stalling for time today, so we wandered through the book for a while. ||We got an update from Ti’zo, which cheered Big Kid up. His plan is to bust out Hedwyn next.|| Big Kid was super happy to see Barker again, but I had a true test of resolve when he chose Jodi and Gilman to assist Rukey. It came down to a 10 to 5 nail biter and I just squeaked out a victory with Big Kid’s cheering on Rukey to “do it for your mom!” all the way.

If we're going by theme music

The Accusers

I love the Accusers' theme so much

[ionic pendant]

RUKEY SHALL REJOIN HIS MAMA IN GLORY

[trail talon]

i have so many thoughts on pyre’s theme music, but the withdrawn’s theme was the one that had me immediately grooving during my first playthrough

[ionic pendant]

Eldritch Horror + Sports games

the Ball of Cthulhu

The Withdrawn certainly do leave a lasting impression

[ionic pendant]

I just somehow got three achievements in one versus mode rite

[untold quartz]

Path to Glory is unnecessarily excellent for being Lendel's theme

I agree with the old fan theory that it's less his theme, and more an exciting tune for your first rite against a real opponent

[toxic python]

We should go with "triumvirate theme, not the leader" cuz deluge doesnt deserve the banger that is knights of the sea

[untold quartz]

I mean Pyrehearts is already a subtle pun on "pirates"

Stands to reason Darren just wrote a rock remix of pirate/shanty music 😁

[midnight hawk]

pyrehearts has such a slap of a theme song

[toxic python]

Top 3 characters that dont deserve their theme
Lendel, Manley, Deluge

They fit but still

I dont wanna hear Manley talk to me each time i wanna hear Grand ceremony

[untold quartz]

We put the Pyre soundtrack on our vehicle sound system recently and Grand Ceremony has single-handedly gotten my four year old interested in harpsichord

[ionic pendant]

Darren strikes again

Pyre's ost makes me want to learn the guitar

[midnight hawk]

grand ceremony slaps

[ionic pendant]

I just played Versus mode again...

Is detonating sap bomb supposed to reach that far?

Volfred's killer queen affected the entire arena

[vestal bluff]

That’s a known bug

The good ol Sapling Nuke

We figured out how to fix that for competitive

[untold quartz]

Speaking of Volf and music, I love that his theme song is basically just fantasy James Bond

||Snadra has entered chat||

[prime dirge]

Lids shouldn't your name be Pyre or Hades-colored

WAIT. I thought yellow was Hades
That said, Snadra is green, so maybe that's a good color

[ionic pendant]

there's no fix for the current version?

[deft quail]

[vestal bluff]

There is

Not officially but you can just edit a text file

[toxic python]

@ionic pendant to not annoy the transistor chat
The moment vagrant song appears in game is so beautiful

[ionic pendant]

YES

I sing that song out loud whenever it rains

Ooh ooh how about Ursa Idea, the unused song that follows the same melody

[toxic python]

I havent heared it in a while so i dont remember how it goes

But honestly, all songs in pyre are amazing at setting the mood

||and bound together to just destroy you emotionally||

[ionic pendant]

the first segment of "Never to Return" on loop while you're selecting your triumvirate before a liberation rite always sets the mood right

[toxic python]

I dont even need never to return for the mood

The moment The old ways starts playing while you select the titan stars is enough

[brisk prawn]

If we're talking about unused songs, man does the first version of Never to Return go hard, like its more intense in a way? I understand why it wasn't used in the end, but it's a nice version regardless

[mighty badge]

[vestal bluff]

Really great in context too, when you consider that ||the lyrics are about Underking Ores killing the Titan Plurnes - whose corpse created the Deathless Tempest - while in at this point the story, Gilman has just slain the spawn of Plurnes and calmed the Tempest for good||

[arctic shale]

vagrant song is so sick

i love it

greatest song ever made

[proud fiber]

I wonder where this game got its inspyreation from? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rely2ajQV7g

[toxic python]

...glad i wasnt the only one who thinked about that

[lusty robin]

omg

sandra real

[untold quartz]

Oh what, that's totally Pyre influenced

[midnight hawk]

oh definitely pyre influenced

[foggy stratus]

i cant believe they made fantasy wizard basketball 2

also speaking of

Pyre deserves a sequel

Theres so much you can do with the world

[vestal bluff]

I was absolutely raging about this to some of the Rite Club lads

Sure Hades made more sales but the Downside 1000 years in the future - or 800 years in the past - would've been way more interesting

[foggy stratus]

I wouldn’t say that!

I think supergiant has a lot to explore with hades 2

But it would be super cool to see downside again

or even the commonwealth….

[vestal bluff]

so many possibilities

Maybe 5 years from now

Assuming no Hades 3...

[foggy stratus]

I don’t think theyll do a hades 3

i do want to see a new ip soon

[midnight hawk]

i do agree pyre has more potential for a sequel imo. you can do so much with the setting, you can shape it in so many different ways. but the world isnt ready for more wizard basketball it seems 😔

[worthy berry]

I don't see Pyre coming back anytime soon

But gosh I'd love to see the harpies' homeland

[ionic pendant]

I remember Jen Zee saying in a documentary that if she could spend two more years fleshing out the world of Pyre she absolutely would

[ionic pendant]

...Are there Pyre sprit rips? Asking for a friend

(it's me, I'm friend)

[hoary field]

maybe not a sequel that still has wizard basketball

but id like to see a game set in the same world

[ionic pendant]

||The basketball won't even be there anymore||

[toxic python]

||not if barker has anything to say||

[hoary field]

||barker starts an illegal basketball ring and it's the same exact premise except you're getting free from ur insane debt to barker||

[hoary field]

||i mean it could be a prequel||

[ionic pendant]

||It would be so funny if we could have a version of Pyre where AJ is replaced by Barker||

[toxic python]

||easter eggwhre is barker is liberated early he sometimes narrates instead of AJ||

[worthy berry]

You could do a sequel set 500 years in the future

And Sandra would be there. Unchanged.

[ionic pendant]

||This implies that he became the next Archjustice and this scares me||

[orchid acorn]

Prequel where you play as the scribes and gotta beat the titans

[zealous dawn]

Imo, Scribes should remain a legend. It's tempting to play as them, sure, but they are, you know, the Scribes
Prequel would make them lose their mystery

[orchid acorn]

Yeah that’s definitely true

Honestly, I kind of feel the same way about the commonwealth. It only being “off-screen” is interesting.

[south crane]

The issue with a sequel is that unless they account for everything you did in the first game via some sort of save-file reading, your choices in the first game wouldn't have mattered. Unless it's far far in the future and the however many people ||stayed or escaped the Downside have been forgotten to time||.

[foggy stratus]

Yeah that's what i'm thinking

[worthy berry]

I don't mind the results of the first game being canonized into a specific fashion or not mattering too much. The ||revolution|| happened, and then things went on. I wouldn't want to meet characters again (except Sandra)

[ionic pendant]

So it just reoccured to me that there is a white lute cover for every triumvirate theme

...including the withdrawn

......this hits different

[toxic python]

Withdrawnin lute always hits different

[hoary field]

yk is there any kind of competitive scene for pyre?

id assume not because versus is local

but id also assume yes because maybe they use one of those local games online software?

[zealous dawn]

There is, indeed, the Rite Club (link is pinned in this channel)

[vestal bluff]

Steam Remote Play is the standard for competitive, though we used Parsec at one point some years ago

love seeing people in the reblogs struggling to choose (me too, my dude, me too)

[toxic python]

I love being able to bring himself back, with +10 dmg bonus

Also using his salute at the right time when a teammate comes back

[ionic pendant]

do they return just in time for them to not be frozen?

[toxic python]

I mean when they naturally come back

Gilman mastery is too fast for the salute i think

Young Reader Playthrough, Day 9: It was Book reading day! We dug through all the unlocked pages and Big Kid copied down the star map “so I can learn it better”.
Jodi and Pam had a talk, Rukey dug up some treasure. Big Kid is getting better at strategy and picked a good team against the Accusers. Next time we’re headed back up the mountain!

Just Wondering, what order did y'all liberate the Nightwings and why?

[foggy stratus]

not done with my playthrough but so far rukey, hedwyn, jodi since i wanted rukey to be with his mom and then i felt bad that the og trio was separated

[kind plank]

Jodi, Hedwyn, Rukey, becuase I like the small fast players but Rukey needed to get home.

[hoary field]

Yh he basically soloed his liberation rite for me

[kind plank]

Young Reader Playthrough, Day 10: Tragedy against the Essence! Big Kid wanted to send Hedwyn home, since he wasn’t ready to say goodbye to Rukey, but we couldn’t quite pull it off. “It’s kinda good, but it’s kinda bad too.”

[trail talon]

ah well, who hasn't been messed up by the essence on their first playthrough

[toxic python]

prob the 1 triumbirate i have commited alt f4 the most

[kind plank]

I considered it, but I wanted to set a good example.

[foggy stratus]

i love the essence theyre the right amount of difficult

[hoary field]

For some reason the accusers were that for me

[ionic pendant]

Did the young reader get hit with the ||Pamitha mind reading bit||

[kind plank]

||Yes, which was why he was mostly okay with the loss even if he was disappointed. Hedwyn is also a good sport about it.||

Ignarius

[kind plank]

Young Reader Playthrough, Day 11: Redemption versus the Tempers! We picked up Bertude who I am utterly terrible at as anything but defensive wall, but paired with Hedwyn and Rukey we made it. Big Kid is enjoying reading Ignarius almost as much as Sir Gilman and is adorably clueless on the ||Jodi-narius|| storyline.

[kind plank]

Young Reader Playthrough, Day 12: We got to do one of my favorite Rites today - the Chasity at the Isle of Khalymer. Big Kid very much enjoyed the chaos and the trashing we gave Pretentious Tree. He’s decided they should be called “The Chat-sasity” because they talk so much.

[toxic python]

did the chastity mention the imps 👀

[trail talon]

i like that: both “chat” and “sass” are there in the name

[kind plank]

Young Reader Playthrough, Day 13: The plot thickens with the introduction of ||Oralech||! Big Kid is very curious about who this new person could be and why there’s a group calling themselves ||The True Nightwings||…

[onyx plover]

What supergiant game(s) do y’all reccomend besides hades?

[toxic python]

All of them

[onyx plover]

I see I see

[midnight hawk]

i thing going in chronological order is the best way to do it, you can how they progress as a studio and it's pretty cool

[floral bramble]

why ask here? also transistor

[onyx plover]

I meant to ask in #supergiant-games but somehow did an oppose 😭

[floral bramble]

All good! I was just rlly confused haha
