HFHJFHJFH
this is a cursed conversation
wait wait wait back up... no deluge mod? what??
ven is obliterating him
thank god
Ooooooh...I'm halfway there
tell me more about this???
The, er, wyrm titles are shockingly hard to remove
this sounds so interesting???
Right now he's just. Sir.
Hey someone post Sir
Oh no Isi isn't here
Hold on, lemme get Sir
o7
OH MY GOSH THATS GOING TO BE MZINg
I'm going to delete all his spoken text, all references to him, his portraits, and his voiceover
All of which can mostly be done by just throwing a random character into the filenames when they're called
It's too much to do manually tho so I need to write a find and replace to do it for me, which would also act as the installer
That's a lot of work for a baby like me tho so I'm kinda sitting on my hands right now
I was so sleep on Saps my first playthrough
Now doing all the Flower in the Flame rites in Vs mode with Manley in most of them, REALLY learning to appreciate that shield
So, are you rewriting all conversations featuring him?
Nah, just deleting his name basically
Seems to defeat the purpose
I want to, like, imply his absence. It's creepier that way lol
I can't remove him altogether anyways
Enemy trium has to have three players
is it possible to cut the music off whenever hes supposed to speak and have it pick back up again afterward
mmmmmmmm probably but it would require changes to the music scripts which i, personally, have never touched before.
I don't see anything in that picture. Are you trying to post John Cena memes?
I can't tell if you're going along with the "delete all traces of deluge" joke or if it's actually not showing up
haha the first one
oh good
thank you
i mean
i want to un-see this
Valid reaction, mikanella

Hello I am here

deluge is a french word, so it even works on that account
confirmed
Yo I want a three way crossover I don't even care if it would be bad
Could be nice
Oralech falling off the cliff ending up in bastion and getting stabbed with Transistor by Zulf
ULTIMATE CROSSOVER
Bruh what if the big twist at the end
Is that everybody is just inside the transistor
Now I want a mod for transistor with abilities based on characters from bastion and pyre
Nerdwings()
@blissful osprey well, i did make this, once

assuming that's a good sign x)
That's awesome!
WHOA
@wide river OMG that is SOOOO cool!!!!!!!!!
omygOOoOd
mfw RukeyGreentail is an available xbox gamertag 
do it
i cant decide
idk if i want something from a specific fandom or just generic
LoneMinstrel is also available ashdjfk
so is BigBertrude lmao
I could see Rukey being into online gaming
rukey would crush his enemies
"lemme show you how it's done, chum." obliterates everything
tariq would probably suck at video games that arent guitar hero ok
he wouldn't even know how to hold a controller
holds it like a boomerang
Gilman physically can't hold it correctly but that doesn't stop him from trying his best
FOR HONOR!
who does everyone like to liberate on the first cycle? It occurs to me the more I replay this the more I make some strange choices for who to send home first in the interest of keeping other characters around longer so I always have a slightly different experience
Hedwyn
like Gilman. Do you know how hard it is to get Gilman high enough to even be eligible for the first liberation? He even implores you to not anoint him first, yet I've done it anyway on one save
Usually I send Hedwyn, but my first playthrough I sent Jodariel and I regretted it so much the rest of the game lol
At my first pt first I liberated Hedwyn, Jodariel and Rukey
I didn't knew how many chances I will get, and wanted to keep the promise at we shall be freed together. Tho I knew I won't be liberated
any of the original three make the most sense to go home first, and they're most likely the ones with the most enlightenment anyway. I think they've each been sent home first at least once in all the times I've played. But then eventually I want to switch things up and none of the other characters available at that time make a lot of sense to want to anoint first
I tried to lib ti'zo first and failed, and then i realized i shouldn't lib characters that i love playing
So i libbed rukey first
i libbed rukey first because i liked the other two too much to let em go so soon
the game decided to reward me by smothering me in hedwyn content
i think i usually lib rukey first too; he always has a lot of enlightenment because i use him a lot, and he's always the most...outspoken, about wanting to go home ๐
so it wasn't until my like third playthrough that i got the stuff about his debt and all that
yeah exactly! i went with him because he wanted to go home so bad
after that when hedwyn started to talk about fikani i wanted to lib him
Interestingly? The very first person I sent home was Jodi.
same
i sent hedwyn up first!
mainly because i wasnt good with hedwyn and he seemed like a good natured leader if i couldnt get jodi in after him
i sent hedwyn first as well but i regretted not being able to do his trial or learn his backstory
I was the same with Jodi. Her and Pamitha can't make amends if Jodi ain't there in the first place!
you're all breaking my heart
I sent Hedwyn back first too and regretted it also because apparently heโs a grade A boi
I think I sent Rukey first in my playthrough, and in my second one, the moon touched girl
he is a grade a boi, i adore him
hedwyn is pure
I was set to send up Jodariel and then legitimately lost the rite. Which.... I felt bad about, but it truly wasn't on purpose and was the only one I ever lost so.
oh no poor Jodi ;-; โฅ
Sent her up later! The whole starting trio got up. My reader would have stayed, but Pamitha encouraged her to go up during the last rite, so she did.
awwwww <333 thats a really sweet turn, listening to pam...
And while it's all very hard, I do think about how happy they must have been to all have gotten up like they promised.
Yeah! That was a surprise to me, the Nightwing in that final rite encouraging the Reader to go.
I sat at that screen.... for like 20 minutes.
THATS PYRE FOR U....
god, no matter who it is, it always makes me want to cry
Who do you think deserves to be in The Downside the most? Or is the most unforgivable?
hmnnmmm....i would say ti'zo, bc its his home!
its more than just BIG JAIL
the downsides a big place and ppl have rly learned to live in its harsh territory uou
as for Most Unforgivable Character...........tamitha, lendel, and (this is a can o' worms but i say it goes case by case for every character and some of them cant get over it), sometimes brighton
Didn't like the yellow tree guy have like numerous counts of corruption and bribery and fraud
OH YEAH HIM TOO
cant forget manley
i love all these characters btw they just have Done Bad Things jfjcncnc
Manley was a prick I don't like him
valid....i like him bc his obnoxiousness was super funny to me
oh manley?
no matter how mean a char is if im laughing thru their lines i gotta love em
YEA MANLEY!
he literally says 'fartus' i cant help but love how awful he is
Ehh. I think Deluge is the one most deserving of it, considering Gilman has no desire to leave the Downside, and they're the reason for that. They(I don't know what gender Deluge is) is one of the few members of the Downside who directly brought someone down with em.
Did I read Manley? ๐
manley: (waves finger like a wand) fartus.... (turns to his team) it made their reader gassy
Gilman kinda chose to go down
bhjdbfk habsjdbfjhbgf
He chose to go down because he chased Deluge after the fight. He felt he was just was guilty.
p sure deluge is a dudeluge ye
deluge is DEF the most deserving imo, lendel comes next
ok yea deluge is v bad too
Yeah Deluge is full-fledged Treason. He's a war criminal.
had it not been for the laws of this land i really wouldve strangled lendel with my own hands
Am I the only one that thinks that Deluge is very misunderstood and that his Commonwealth's ending is pretty nice?
I don't know how Commonwealth ending, and even then i doubt it...Deluge already proved themselves as quite the horrible person.
it is nice but i just,, he apologizes to gilman but not the other dozens of men he let die because of his recklessness as a general
i think
๐ค i cant remember
the hill i die on is that lendels whole Problem is very mental illness based BUT hes awful and will be terrible forever bc he wont lift a finger to get better or keep himself in check ever so he like deserves what he gets
I think the entire book he writes is basically trying to make up for everything he did, is not like he can resurrect others. He basically just run away (want to know another character that ran away and got some people killed because of that?)
LMAO U RITE
But right. Next to Deluge would definitely be Manley. I don't remember what he did to get down there, and he's still the type that deserves to stay. Well. Technically #1 most deserving if one of those original Nightwings, the murderer. Patricide, right?
ERISA IS FINE IT WAS SELF DEFENSE
But she technically dosn't count. Because she kinda died before the events of the game. But IF she were still alive, probably.
Was it? I thought it was full-fledged murder.
I still love Hedwyn, though :_ D
thank u ur valid anivi
noooo her father attacked her so she "struck back again...and again" or something n won the fight by killing him
in this server we love erisa
we DO
Yep Erisa....I need to double check it.
there will b no erisa hate in this sgg house i watch over....not on my watch hdmcmfmfmv
jhbhhbfjg
'Striking back again and again' sounds like murder. I need to re-read it....
oh ok i'll stop talking about Erisa now.
NP IM JOKING MAINLY
Re: Deluge's recklessness, I also saw it like he never desired a general's position, he just.. ended up there because his cowardice kept him alive.
erisa's only crime was having no chill
Being a natural coward in a culture of warmongering frankly must be hell.
i just dont want it going into like....blind hate st8ments bc shes a complicated woman ykno? im glad the game never demonizes her outright
"Huh. Xel got emoted for complimenting Erisa. I bet Kamilla was the one who did it. Yep. Got it right." -My thought process.
youre right!
supergiant ill pay you 20 bucks just to make an erisa talksprite. please, just one
hfmcndndjdnc
im in your server hear me out supergiant
I bet she'd look really evil. A crime weighs down on a person.
dexter: snzzzzz
tbh in her small sprite when volf talks about her, she seems quite smug!
very much a "holds in it" kind of person, i feel
kamiwa and i support each other ๐ ๐
reaches a breaking point and then loses it ;;
AAAAA
i CRAVE knowing more abt the wraiths for no reason at all
To be honest, if we were capable of making requests, of what character designs we'd want, i feel like there's better options. The girl Hedwyn likes, perhaps a Pre-Demon Oralech....
wraith erisa wpuld b SO cool
we like.....arent capable dude were jokin dont gwt ur hopes up jen zee isnt in here rn fnfndnc
NSKFKDMDMXNCMV
ill make these sprites myself im an aritst
It would also be super useful to see what Archjustice Androbeles IX looks like.
i edited a pyre sprite once im good at this i swear
brighton but more pinched and wrinkly
I ain't, don't worry. I'm just saying, if that ever happened where we could make sprite requests, there's a ton of other awesome characters.
anivi i promise u, based off all the concept art we got of archjustice even his own talksprite would be an orange orb with a tiny head and skinny little man arms
HCBFMFNV I WISH
...yeah true ima stick with requesting a Nomad Oralech
LMAO
i didnt even know it sent
proxybot that good
imma b real here i was like "ah" and put it in the other server
AJSHBDHB
PROXYBOT ASASSINATED ME BEFORE I EVEN KNEW IT
THANK U SPAWO
THATS SO GOOD
fear my mspaint skills
sparrow can u dm it to me i wana make it my tumblr header
fun fact i was too lazy to do his hair so i used the thot balloon tool and just. cribbled off the extra balloon bits.
LMAOOOO
have no fear i have commemorated the moment in another server
made my nickname ๐ข ๐ฌ ๐ thot balloon ๐ ๐ฌ ๐ข

Aj stinkman
I did draw a Volfredโs Nightwings once
Also, am I the only one who thinks Lendel deserves a chance at freedom?
I mean, on my first playthrough I just thought he was a jerk, but when I read his ending...
Isnt Manley one of the only characters who is hated, no matter if he's sent home or not?
yep yep, manley is a city sweeper who's practically ignored in the end if liberated
jhahsdf i just cant forgive lendel because he purposefully sent someone to the downside (didnt he?), knowing what could've happened the moment that person got sent down or if they survive the fall
hes just getting a taste of his own medicine now
imo
but then again ๐ค
i think i just might be a mean player hbfgh
But the reason heโs so bitter is because the Nightwings disappeared and denied him any chance at freedom
trueeeee
nahh hes been a rotten egg longer than just that
hes not bitter bc the nightwings stole his freedom, hes like......self-victimizing and Always Right and using his loss against the nightwings to fuel that narrative more imo
he becomes a librarian in the libbed end right? :O
yea i think!! thats nice for him...i think theres also an end where he straight up Dies?
is that the one where he wanders the desert as a demon
I know heโs a pretty terrible guy, but wandering the Downside forever as a demon just seemed worse than death
no i think thats libbed+violent rev
lendel refuses to accept that the rites are over by taking part in barkers makeshift rites Every Time it happens
noncanon but god i wish it was
any day now. any day. the stars are gonna align. i can feel it. hang out with me. hear that? the big voice is getting ready to
barker: please my dude youre standing in the middle of our court we want to start
YEA EXACTLY
lendel on mount alodiel waiting and he finally sees celeste and hes like YES!!! LIBERATION and shes like go home. im literally here to pack my stuff im going on vacation
not sure tbh
just how i like it
also i realize i never asked this but: what happens to ignarious during the libbed ending wherein theres a harp invasion?? or should i just search that up
yeah
his liberated epilogue is the same regardless of plan outcome
ohhhh :O kk!
Lendel isn't the only one who dies, Udmildhe always dies
oh my god we forgot udmildhe
bold of you to assume she was alive to begin with
I TOTALLY FORGOT SHE LIKE...EXISTED
YA ME TOO HAADSFB
udmildhe? more like WHOdmildhe
hot takes from saba here
ur right
I bet she's the only Exile who would gain her freedom, then be shoved back down.
ever since udmildhe has been brought back to my mind my acne has returned ๐
she won t shut up about yslach ๐
"The winning Exiles is returning, let us see who it is!" Umhilde Appears Guard shoves her back down "Oops she tripped"
astro you look fine with or without
i can see that one happening
i don t even understand how she was allowed to participate in liberation rites to begin with
so shady
Celeste: Withdrawn! State your name and what you seek
Udmildhe: YSLACH SHALL DEVOUR YE
Celeste: sounds legit you can go through
it'd be great if, by saying that, she enrolled Yslach themself into the Rite. That'd be a fun game.
yslach finally rises
Udmildhe: AT LAST! RISE, MY MASTER! DEVOUR TH-
chomps her
it s what she s been wanting her entire life
not a fanwork so im moving it here but. imagine volfred being able to write super fancy and then cannot draw anything more complicated than a stick figure. its just v v v v funny to me
he didnt think it was intellectual so he just never bothered to learn
what if he could draw but only anime
does saba is volfred
i am volfred
volfy
oralech: vorfredu kun... /yaoi face
i'm kicking you both off of the mod team
I can't believe I'm reading this with my own two eyes
HGFJHFHJ
think of the children
Think of everyone tbh
can you believe were giving u these words for free? a gift??
this is oralech s yaoi face
it is

Saba i can't see that but i'm preemptively saying its banne
its his sprite lol
it s a bless
giv her some credit gjkhjkhkghjkhkj
the image wouldnt load im on bad signal mountain
its literally just a picture of his smiling face from the game....would you tell his poor man to his face that his happiness is banne....
oralech: feeling a little less depressed tod-
ven: GET out
no, i see the word yaoi and kill bill sirens start going off in my head which i think we can all agree is reasonable
hfhjfhjgjhghjgjh fair jusk jokin
For some reason whenever I picture barker speaking in my head itโs like a British punk accent like โCMON BOYS GO GET IMโ
Weirdly clockwork orange
lol I imagined an australian accent
i hear every single one of barker's lines in junkrat's voice
omg i'm cackling
"May I offer you some silt porridge in this trying time?"
In that case Sir Gilman should be Gilbert Gottfried
@onyx forum It mentions in the game that Volfred sketches landscapes. ๐ So, I imagine that he is quite good.
oh really??? omg
(Plus, he is old and wise, so getting better at drawing probably wouldn't be a probbly for him...)
Yes!! ๐ ๐ It mentions at one point that he is off "sketching the environs". ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
got dam, the guy can just do EVERYTHING, cant he >:// (mock fuming)
LOL, yes.....
My one 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 critique of the story is just that: he might be too perfect?
HGKHJGKJGKJGJK
But that doesn't mar my experience playing it one bit ๐
ok maybe hes good at landscapes but volfred CANT draw people. or saps. im putting my human foot down i need to be able to feel superior to him at least once
because DANG is he intimidating when you meet him for the first time...Just asks/tells you to up and leave the Nightwings because he arrived....
YEAH
i need to be able to do at least one thinbg better than volfred its very important
lol ๐
Hmmm...you could.....
um.....
[wow he's really flawlessly skilled isn't it....] Hm.
*[he]
kam ur better at being a friend, u didn't see me and immediately want me to be kicked out
im better at telling people how i feel about them for sure
AWW
YEAH, TAKE THAT, VOLFRED
I wonder what his greatest fear is?
I wish we could ask him...
He'd probably be dismissive, depending on how well he knows each of us...
the revolution going all violent/failing probably ;o;
Yeah...
I Mean
i think he really cares that ppl are ok
YES I KNOW WHAT YOURE GONNA SAY GJKGKJGJKGJKGJKGKGJKGHKJ
go ahread lay those facts on us
fdhgjdkd sorry
...some one is hyper today, lol.... ๐ ๐
its bc i know exactly what sparrows gonna say as if i can tell the future
heheheeee ๐
(this is a good thing btw, im not makin fun of them here, theyve got like Good Text Skillz)
when you haven't gotten to loredump on anyone in five minutes
JGJKGKJGJKGKJ
Sparrow, do seem to known an AWFUL lot about Pyre, you made those caldendars and things.....
go ahead sparo make janeen's day share that secret content
volfred is allowed to be perfect
how do you know so much?!
s-s-secret?
anyway uhhhhhhh so most of the nightwings do actually have unused fears and goals listed in their bios
sparrow is the Loremaster
they'r not used ingame and bertrude's, in particular, are out of date and refer to an earlier version of her character
loremaster whuh oh ven watch ur throne
SERIOUSLY!!!! HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH????????????????????????????????
whats bertrudeโs
they go thru all the game files!
sparrow dives deep into that sweet sweet l o r e
i doubt their fears would be in the files/code....? [knows nothing about programming but everything about stories].
nope, they are indeed there
seriously?!
listed in the same area as the text for the rest of their bio
seriously-seriously, i am looking at them right now
anyway for bertrude, it says her goal is "to become the most famous performer in the world", and her fear is "that her performance is too subtle for the world to recognize its true greatness"
....where does it say ANY of that?!?!!? ๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ
it doesn't say it anywhere ingame, as i mentioned already ^^
she doesn't seem like the preformer type....
yeah, it was cut!
they might be placeholders from previous character design/concepts for bertie
wait it doesn't..? I'm confused, where are you getting all this ๐ฌ
i did say that bertrude's in particular, refers to an earlier version of the character before she was the bertie we know and love
it's leftover in the game files, unused content
๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ
ok the game pyre only shows so much but theres a ton of unused content in the files
yeah
WHOAAAAAAAA
anyway to bring me back to the original point of this: volfred's fear is listed as "that his work may, in the end, cause more harm than good"
so ppl like sparrow have dug thru it!
but why would story elements be kept in files?!
(his goal, meanwhile, is "to spread literacy across the Commonwealth, and bring about the resurgence of the stamping-press")
VOLFREDS FEAR GOT ME LIKE ๐ญ
because they were planned to be used but ultimately scrapped and left in there
coooooooooool!!!!
because the bio text has to be stored somewhere
volfred's whole character for me hinges on like...his ultimate goodwill
so for example, here's the field for volfred's bio text concerning why he was exiled:
<Text Id="Past_Doc01" DisplayName="Publishing" Description="{$CharDoc.PronounSubC} owned and operated a stamping-press, using it to spread anti-{$Keywords.Commonwealth} propaganda."/>
it's all like that
but yeah the fears n goals are Ouchie
he acts kinda superior and mean by nature but deep down genuinely wants everyone to be safe and happy...........so like its worth it to get him to warm up to you bc of how good he is <333
volfred, aka "good luck my personality and true nature are behind 7 firewalls"
YEAH
Hahahahahaha!!! That's the way to put it LOL!
But I love how he DOES end up warming up to the Reader...
Sparrow, I'm curious now--what got you interested into digging into games' files like this???
Do you have a job in computer programming or something?
oh, god, no
honestly i was just curious, and wanted to know what was in the game that i hadn't seen because of the rng involved
๐ค
and looking at unused stuff is fun
The "rng"??
oh
"rng" is an acronym for "randum number generator", it's basically used as a shorthand for randomness in games
ohhh. Hmmmm.
like, if you think about it, there's a whole bunch of random events you can get travelling round, yeah?
how many of those didn't i see? what did i miss? can i find them in the game's files?
turns out i can
What elements of Pyre would have "rng" though??
Like the traveling and making choices between places in an area, like the Flagging Hands?
yeah
and when you're going up alodiel and the game picks between the nightwings for the little "prayer" sections
but that's not "random-random", is it, because you can only chose between usually 2 options, right?
i mean, there's a lot more than two choices
it just picks two of those for you to choose between
so you mean all the total choices jumbled up?
I think I see what you mean....you just wanted to see the different paths?
yup!
Ohhhhhh, kewl kewl..... ๐ ๐ค
Me, I like being tightly sealed in the jar of immersion! ๐
like..... ven worked it out, once, the likelihood that you would be able to hear all of the prayers for a given nightwing on your way up alodiel
which would require them being one of the four picked each time you go up
it's like an 8% chance or so that you'll get all of volfred's prayers, for instance
๐ฎ
"All" of his prayers? Hmmm as far as I know there's just one for him or something.....
Interesting.....
nope, there's four for volfred
i'm referring to the little events you get on the way up alodiel, btw, where you and one of the nightwings go pray to the scribe statues for their blessings
you mean like 4 based on the outcome of other events previously?
they're different every time you have to go up alodiel
and it's randomly determined each time with no bearing on what came previously
huh....
so you might get lucky, like i did, and get the same character multiple times, or you might never get to hear a particular character at all
Huh. Wow.
Thinking back on my last couple of playthroughs, I think I've gotten a decent balance of almost...everyone...
[trails off]
although now that you mention it
I don't think I've ever gotten Bertrude....
๐ฎ
Well, ya learn something new everyday! ๐
this kinda ties in with what i mentioned earlier about bertrude not always being the character we know her as
but "big bertrude's", as in the location, wasn't always called that, either
Ooooooo ๐ฎ
it was originally called "Kon's Kontraband"!
Well I suppose the place used to be something else before it became the Crones' [headquarters?] living space ๐
๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ ๐ฎ
wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
So maybe that's where they got the inspiration for shady-ish Falcon Ron, but made him travel instead of being in one place....
neat!
Speakin' of which, why do they call him Falcon Ron when he's not a falcon?
If one animal can be the 'opposite' of another, a falcon and a slug-guy probably are
maybe they just thought it sounded cool, but instead of making the "merchant character" all macho like "Falcon" suggests, they did the opposite and made him hilariously whimpy! ๐
I'm gonna pop out for now. Thanks for chatting with me @wide river !
Iโve always wondered what you need to actually browse the files
Iโve never been able to get in
You don't need anything to browse the scripts
They're plaintext files
Just open them with notepad
Ah, I see
The package files are a different beast, there are ways to open them but I feel a little iffy talking about them in the official server ^^;
Yeah, fair enough
"Falcon is a tongue-in-cheek term that is used in different forms of football to describe an accidental knock to the head with the ball."
uh rip ron?
I thought I had heard Falcon used as a connotation for a merchant, but thatโs actually hawk. Which just means to sell something aggressively. So maybe since Ron isnโt hawking things, the falcon term fits lol
Heโs just been hit on the head too many times xD
But the only ball in Pyre is the Celestial Orb... feels like itโs trying to tell us something
I did not make that connection.... that actually makes sense
New headcanon: Ron used to be in a triumvirate until he sustained brain damage in the Rites. Unable to read, he took to selling artifacts for the Rites to stay close to them
So what race IS Ron, anyway? Why don't we ever see people quite like him?
I think heโs always called a slug merchant
Perhaps theyโre native to the Downside but arenโt usually very outgoing
That's possible..There's others like him, but they don't pop up as often. They don't look like creatures who would keep up appearances, so that makes sense.
or maybe ron is The Last
all the other slugs died in a horrible accident
probably involving ron
Also possible
He's such a good merchants that they all died out, unable to make sales.
How could you refuse that face?

@lime mural holy cow....WOW....so that must be why he was named that, that's incredible! I'm an author; naming characters is hard, I envy writers who can pack so much hidden meaning in a name....!!!!!
To be fair Ron is the second to last slug merchant
Since his dad is also around
And also a slug merchant
I mean it could be because the other slug merchants sell to other people instead of those that participate in the rites. It has been years since the last one and they just moved onto selling things that weren't artifacts
what if ron is just a better salesman than we think he is
he ran them all out of business and has a monopoly on the downside
Thatโs exactly what I was sayinโ! Heโs the sole reason every single member of his race died. Because none of them were able to make a living as effectively as he did, and they died off of starvation/natural causes.
Ron seems like a nice, although dumb, guy but heโs actually a monopolistic sociopath without any regard for otherโs lives.
next week on dateline
Iโd watch that episode.
Ehhhh, I'm pretty sure there are other slugs around....I assume he's got a mother, lol. There's definitely a slug-community tucked away somewhere in the Downside! In the Book of Rites--I think the passage was "On Slugmarkets" or something? Gosh why can't I remember--the author of that bit mentioned them in the plural, so there's definitely more than just Ron and his ol' Dad.
I like to think. ๐
Also, Ron mentioned he had friends (although he may have been enbiggening the truth at that point, lol. Poor Ron.)
But does 'friends' mean they're the same race as him?
Hmmmm..IDK. Maybe. Although Ron probably has many types/races of friends, since he gets around so much. ๐ Maybe he has a circle of fellow slug-friends ๐
Although I assume he would not be a fan of having a Harp as a friend, sharp talons and all that...
....until we have further evidence i'm sticking with my theory. And...Harps, last i checked, have the wings and literally nothing else. Normal feet, normal bodies.
I don't know why talons would affect him much anyway
Has anyone asked Ron to be quiet before I always feel bad clicking that
me
bc i spemd a lot of time thinkin abt talismans/strategies in the shop scenes and dont need him rambling bfjgngk
Haha
I did that on some of my earlier playthroughs, but it stopped bothering me as much later on. Then on my last playthrough I told him to be quiet and I actually missed his stupid little voice lines when you buy things.
Iโve told him when I do a long but but I felt bad so I just kept his talking on for the rest of the game
*buy
yeah i usually turn him off but sometimes i'll let him babble every now and again
You mean on the boatride?
I don't mute him because my grandpa used to hum like that because of a disease he had so it reminds me of him
that's... weirdly poignant
I never did because I didnโt know I could
๐ฎ
I NEVER ask him to be quiet! ๐
I did once, out of curiosity, I guess, but let him ramble on a mere second later! (I'd feel SO BAD doing it again). He adds so much to what would be a mere trade! Every time I go to the Slugmarket, I end up laughing along with him, and then outright cackling, even many minutes after I've left. He's the best merchant I've ever encountered!! I am so glad he existed!
*exists
Seeing him fills me with hilarity
I LOVE what happens to him, his storyline, in the end โค
We (because there was a group of us with one playing and the rest of us watching and voting) did once as well out of curiosity, but you know it's non-obtrusive even for long periods of looking through the charms and we were humming along and laughing. His humming was an unexpectedly immersive element I found. It felt so much like being there.
Exactly! high five
Cool a bunch of you played and then voted, that's really an interesting way to do it...
Personally, I found Falcon Ron a bit irritating, his constant blather bugged me, as did the fact that he seemed to be overconfident in his mercantile abilities. While I'm angering the fandom, I might as well add that I didn't mind Sir Deluge (at least to the extent that I could spend five minutes with the guy and not want to tie him in a knot). ๐ฆ ๐ฆ ๐ฆ
I liked Sir Deluge because he was voiced by Greg Kasavin himself!!!!! ๐
I can never get over how awesome that is! Every time Sir Deluge talks I end up squeeing a little bit on the inside LOL ๐ ๐ ๐
aw gregs not online but wherever he is i hope hes feelin the compliment
oh my gosh if he was I'd be so excited but simultaneously wanna go hide under a rock LOL
like a shy little fan
awwwwww hfhfhjfhj u should tell him when hes online, hes v nice and friendly w fans!!
UGH i gotta get back to work now bye Kamilla!!!! wave
byeee good luck w work!!
stutters nervously If he showed up I'd probably freak out hahaha! I admire his writing skill SO MUCH!
thank you!!!!!!! ๐
bye for now!!!!
TFW Jodariel nicely turns you down.
i literally cried on my first playthru hfndjdnf
i want jodariel to pick me up in her big strong arms
and slam dunk me into the enemy pyre killing me instantly

a duet
lmao
"Fear not the fire"
I definitely feel guilty keeping her around all this time, she was going to be my first one out but then I saw some of her other perks.
Woof.
I know, right? I feel so guilty. When I first played it for the very first time, I liberated her first...
If I DO end up keeping her around, it's not immediately because of her other Masteries, it's because of story reasons, you know?
@onyx forum ME TOO!!!!
I remember that Jodi thing.....
So trash I get rejected by fictional characters ๐
Anyone here tried Pyre multiplayer with parsec or a similar sharing program
New video on the Supergiant YouTube channel!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfTIKwieYxA
Supergiant's audio director Darren Korb and vocalist Ashley Barrett perform "Vagrant Song" from the Pyre Original Soundtrack at MagWest 2017. Get the soundtr...
Oh shoot, I forgot about this
Itโs always been my dream to see Supergiant in concert, especially the Bastion soundtrack
Yep. I wonder if they'll ever go touring... They perform at a ton of Con's, but not like full-fledged concerts. Perhaps it should be mentioned in the suggestions section? :p
that seems a little big for a discord suggestion
When I say in concert, I kind of picture a full orchestra rather than a sound board, but thatโll likely never happen
just saying ;P
... yeah it totally is ainโt it? I doubt theyโd be the type to fill an entire theater, but... I dunno they could totally find a way right?
I mean would you rather they take a nationwide tour which might admittedly be mildly successful and take a lot of time+effort or have them be working on the next game and make it even better
Imo of course
i want them to come to israel just for @young folio and me lol
private concert
u only need four chairs
exactly
I feel bad for breaking Hedwyn's promise. The Original Three made it back but i decided to stay. Fair's fair but god hearing of Hedwyn's dark moods was too much.
The credits song didn't help, haha.
honestly i'd rather die than ever make hedwyn sad
Cries externally
Part of me wants me to replay it so i can retcon myself, but the other part wants me to own up to my mistakes and keep it as my head canon haha.
Hedwynโs Promise is my goal this playthrough
Since Jodi and I stayed the first time around
In all of my play through I stayed back. I felt like more people deserved to make it up instead of my character
Yeah that was my thought process too. Especially as i forced Jodi to go last. Can't tell her no.
Keeping everyone together for Hedwyn's promise was a major goal on my first playthrough, but not so much on repeated playthroughs, since I tend to favor keeping the Reader exiled. Though I did do a run where I kept the original group and ascended everyone else. It felt strange and I wouldn't do it again.
Hedwyn breaks my heart every playthrough without fail
I just want to hug him and tell him it's alright.
oh mood
i liberated myself cause im selfish af 
also i wanted to keep volfred and oralech together (but i accidentally killed oralech the first time w h o o p s)
i wanted to be with my friends D:
Got to say, I liked how the Voice commentating your matches was cynical and actually hoping you'd lose, made a nice change from upbeat sports commentators. Also gave me the chance to go 'Eat it!' at someone whenever I scored.
Tomorrow a good friend of mine will come to my house and we're gonna play some Pyre
I wonder how she will handle it lol
๐ ๐ ๐
How'd that version come to be anyway?

Please support the official OST. From Supergiant Games' Pyre. This track wasn't on the OST, so I wanted to share it. Composed by Darren Korb.
was looking at Pyre merch and just noticed these recommendations in the t-shirt description,
"For best results, listen to โThrash Packโ from the Pyre Original Soundtrack at a louder-than-acceptable volume while wearing this item."
Do that even when you're not wearing the shirt, honestly
Heavy metal album from Darren Korb when
So...I showed Pyre to my friend...she INSTANTLY fell in love with Hedwyn and I'm so proud
Just wait until Gilman rolls around and slithers his way into her heart
So far we stopped after getting *ae (She decided to call her Lae, which...I haven't seen anyone do so far)
When you have the option to ask Hedwyn a question she just looked at the options and said: "where's the option to ask him to marry me???"
Anna, you can't marry the man you just met
Relatable
Honestly, I called her 'Gae', as the mouseover text made it seem like the correct choice, and since she responded positively to it, I assumed it was the one 'right' one, and any over choice would end up with her being called that anyway. I didn't realize you could change it until reading fanfiction much later
aha whatever choice you choose is the right choice
Except bae
i know the "canon" one is mae the moontouched, so ive been calling her mae when i talk about her, but i named her zhae
I named her Zhae as well! ๐
I liked Fae, and think Shae was there too but idk
yea it was!
The mouseover text for Bae always makes me laugh
you can't marry the man you just met watch me
Bae here, checking in.
Where my Fae people at
named her Kae in my runs :O
someday I will replay enough times to use every name
Couldn't name her Shae cause that's the name of Tyrion Lannister's... companion, and I know I couldn't take her seriously if I kept returning to this though (and I 100% would)
but Tae was my first so I have a special connection with that one
i called her Fae in my playthrough but when talking about her i usually call her mae
I feel like I'm the only one who chose Xae
what I've never seen that
i'm very good at photoshop ;P
๐ HE SAID YES
ahhhh
It's My Thing
I was going to say
i mean i absolutely could mod that into the game lmao
I'm not gay but hedwyn is the pinnacle of human evolution
Demon is just horns and the extra muscle
Which is adaptation to hostile environment and constitutes evolutionary change
can curs and other non-humanoid races become demons 
i like to think so
mostly because it pleases me to imagine sabertooth hyena curs and harpies with bat wings
saps looking all gnarled and twisted like old dead trees
I mean
We've got Dalbert who grew old in Downside without becoming a demon Cur
And we've got Sandalwood, a sap who didn't do that either
Not sure about Harpies tho...
Not sure if Dalbert grew old or was already pretty old when he got exiled so didn't have time to "demonize"
If it did happen to other races I figure the process takes longer than humans
I need to play the game again and look at the backstory for dalbert just to answer this question
Isn't there a game wiki page?
It's almost empty
https://pyre.gamepedia.com/Dalbert_Oldheart
He's only been exiled for five years
...huh. I guess I remembered wrong
I believe he and Almer were exiled together, so it couldn't have been too long or else Almer would be a demon
i think you start becoming a demon at around 10 years in the downside
Whens Pyre sheet music ๐
SPARROW
I'm gonna show her that edit today
We're continuing our run today so I'll update you guys lol
Also she told rukey to keep his mustache - i couldn't have chosen a better friend
And I called her Rhae on my run :)
i picked rhae too :D
So, we're sure that Pyre's never coming to Xbox?
I can't speak for SGG of course, but from a business perspective, the XboX install base also has a PC, so I don't know if there is much incentive to do that? It's absolutely in the realm of posibility though. I think it would be prying a little too much to ask for an official answer other than "maybe" lol
And time = money and time x money = new game so I'd probably bet they are putting more resources on that front =)
iโm guessing SGG has some sort of console exclusivity deal with sony. a lot of indie games seem to only come out on pc + ps ;-;
bastion's on xbox, isnt it?
@scarlet kettle That's a pretty weird thing to just assume. Fact is that Sony and PC covers 90% of the install base. I exaggerate, but you get it. I don't wanna start a console flame war. 
They also seem to like Apple products, Transistor was showcased when Apple announced the first Apple TV that could play games and they're showcasing it like twice a month in my app store
speaking of, does anyone know if transistor plays well on appletv?
like controls wise, i wanna get my family to play it but theyre never gonna do it on their phones
also we got a huge screen recently so it could be fun
It plays well, but you'll enjoy it more on Apple TV 4k because the chip is much faster
Also invest in a Bluetooth controller that connects to the TV for better controls
hi i have an important announcement.................i love pyre
i replayed a lil earlier and im listening to the ost rn........its almost Pyre Day and this game just makes me so happy im โบ
I liked the music during my play through, then I went and listened to the songs entirely, because I rarely got to hear a lot of the songs all the way through while actually playing. I let Grand Ceremony ride for a couple minutes and it gave me a shivers. I'll be replaying it soon for sure.
i like grand ceremony best when manley is onscreen because then it gets that backing to it that's rly neat
grand ceremony is such a jam
Forbidden Knowledge one love
Knights of the Sea and Grand Ceremony are my favorites
I love Grand Ceremony and Will Of The Scribes
Path to glory is my alarm in the morning. No better way to carpe those diems

We come to a time, when once an age the eight scribes gather before us
The stars have aligned, that the lucky few might rise from the torment of solace
The rites begin anew, the mercy of our scribes

the heart shirt is the most important shirt
i have never typed a sentence on this phone more carefully,
rip
AJRHGLJKSDHGLDJSKBKLS WHAT
there are some words who are....one letter away from being bad if u mess them up ๐
While I was first playing through Pyre, I kept this heavily-scented soap with a very specific odor right next to me, then I put it in a box and have been looking forward to replaying the game with the soap again
You know how the brain connects specific smells with specific memories
It would be cool thing to experience
Oh, that is a cool idea
I remember doing that accidentally with some games
Then my mom got that scent again and I just had to play those games
Why twitter only lets my post 4 pics aaa
aaa its pyre day
pyre day!!!!
i would replay pyre but it would make me cry again
HAPPY PYREDAY!!!!
gasp
BIRTH
PYRTH
thatโs the one
man i wanted to have this illustration i was doing of sandra done today but got busy with things and also thought i had a few more days ahfkskfj
PAPPY PYRTHDAY
PYRIFFIC
The greatest game in existance is one year old today :O
glory to the scribes
Happy birthday Pyre!!! ๐ ๐ โค
Truly, today the stars have aligned just right. Results of an exam I took back in may finally came through today and I had the highest grade.
Praise the Scribes, and the wisdom they bestow on their day.
was it an exam on pyre
Nah
@dusk current so are you guys all having a massive party at work, or what ๐ ๐
My pyearty hat.
it looks like this
(starts unplugging tablet) (sees this) (freezes)
bertrude is AT HOME in a party hat cause all the snakes have little hats too and they look adorable are you kidding me. lendel is big up there tho
I never considered the snakes. Great point.
aj in full regalia would have a hard time balancing it on the star point, hmmm
I like the file name pyarty hat
it was caitlin's words, compliment her ๐
@lapis drum he fell face first into the cake while """"investigating"""" and decided that the entire party was a ploy to get cake on his face. even though hedwyn is very obviously horrified that his creation was ruined. its an act!!
dskfhaslkjhfkaljsf oh my god
i love lendel
๐ค
team love garbage
๐ โฅ
SLAM DUNK
if you wanna slam
welcome to the jam
star jam
I wanna be on a triumvirate with Michael Jordan
Lendel is absolutely the right choice for least comfortable.
happy birthday pyre! ๐ฐ
Lendel has to celebrate now because his bday overlaps with Fae and we all know which we'd rather pay attention to
bold of you to assume anyone would ever have celebrated lendel's birthday anyway
F
Happy birthday pyre! 
Pyre is greatness!
Pyre sure is good
Hey was the art for that album cover shown in the blast ever shown before because HOO BOY thatโs one spicy meatball!
there was a WIP shot of it on jen's twitter
alright another question guys; what did you name the lost girl in pyre
Bae, no regrets
Shae
Fae
Rhae, the voice saying her name is soo great because he rolls the R
Went with Fae too, seemed fairy-like enough to roll with that
rhae, gae, and now bae on my current run!!!
She just seemed so spaced out and in her own little world I felt it fitted her
mae is also cute
Love that Zhae. โค
Fae!
Mae, for both of my runs. i love that name
i named her fae but usually call her mae when talking about her
thinkin
about deluge
can confirm
does anyone else feel sad when they don't buy anything at the slugmarket
incredible
i just left without buying anything for the first time and ron's sad message killed me
i immediately went back and bought some dust
awwwww
Thinking about Deluge?
isn't that a rhetorical
always think of deluge
thinking about deluge!
Always not thinking about deluge
i feel personally attacked
if there is no deluge in your life is it really worth living
they can always find deluge somewhere down the line
Who did you free first? Mine was Jodariel
I went with Hedwyn
Ermagerrrd that concept art is so delicious.
I need a supergiant art book in my life. Or preferably several.
Jodi, I already knew most there was to know about her, and it felt right, since she was stuck there the longest, and had the chops to organise a revolution above
Always Free Jodi First
see, as much as i adored hedwyn, that meant i actually liberated him second-to-last
I freed Rukey first because I wanted to get to know more about Jodi and Hedwyn
because i wanted to keep him around
I wonder how many different permutations of the story there are
Lots
As a person who made test plans and ensured that our QA partners saw every outcome for every character at least once, I can say... 'lots' is accurate haha
Favorite piece from the soundtrack? After a ton of listens, I've landed on Grand Ceremony
White lute version of dread design
Path to Glory is a great track never gets old
another good one
white lute snake soul is the best pf the white lute album imo its PERFECT
tbh i could loop downriver for hours
I love half the OST with my entire heart but some faves are Grand Ceremony and every single variation of the airship theme
and have
i just want everyone to know that im replaying rn and just reached sir deluge himself
oh yeah,Blackwagon - when that klicked in in-game I loved it - I was actually at work in my game job and turned a few heads while I was bobbing around in my seat
What fortuitous timing!
Never to Return. <3
Welp, time to load the playlist again
vagrant song is my favorite
Vagrant Song...Yeah.
Same, vagrant song
vagrant song!!!!!
One of this song where I cried. ;_;
But how do we all feel about Knights of the Sea
i've always quite liked forbidden knowledge
mourning song is good too
knights of the sea GOODT
Mourning Song in Settings. <3
I love hearing it after being used to the actual version
Sandra
Get the full OST at: http://store.supergiantgames.com/ Pyre on Steam: http://goo.gl/VGJMDN Pyre on PS4: https://goo.gl/wo36aq Note: We highly recommend playi...
Always take Sandra with you
how can you not
Please support the official OST. From Supergiant Games' Pyre. This track wasn't on the OST, so I wanted to share it. Composed by Darren Korb.
Where my heart should be is actually just a speaker playing Will of the Scribes on repeat
Yeah doc I understand that I have to pump blood and all that but do me favor here and put this speaker there pretty please
I'll be basic with the faves, but can't help the fact that In the Flame is such a well-crafted song
That's fait there's no bad choices
Omg the early harp designs in the blast email ๐ณ ๐
Also giggling so much at the imp noises behind the scenes ๐ ๐
i love it
That Jodi concept art ๐
[SLAMS FISTS ONTO TABLE] I HEARD WE WERE TALKING ABOUT VAGRANT SONG
there was some talk on the song of the vagrant, yes
The bass in Will of the Scribes could absolutely pump the blood for me.
Snap, I never recognized The Voice as Logan...
watch yo profanity 
it's really different from the previous ones, but there are moments where it's clearly him
(also, I kind of prefer The Voice to his other roles, since its the one I can half-reliably imitate ๐ )
OMG, Rucks is so good though
(Yes late but shush)
I love how their Imp recording sessions is basically just black metal gang vocals but with 130% more hilarity.
black metal bands, on the other hand, are all real imps
the people singers just lipsync
I knew it
Guess I'm going to have to expose my singer for being 12 imps stacked on top of each other in an overcoat when I get to band practice later. Thanks for the heads up!
bring a fish and watch the whole careful setup just collapse into screeching and flying!
.....I want to see that on video
says its my turn to play the xbox
i lost to the pyrehearts
