That was one of the most fun boss fights I’ve had in a long time! I loved everything about it. When she ends up acapella when you drop the band mates was genius! And then when I roll up after beating her she has a new song?! Man, this game!! 😂♥️
I loved the audio and ambience in transistor. I feel like SuperGiantGames did a little throwback to transistor in the Oceanus level when I hear the Siren sing through the areas in there.
In the clip I only hit Shredder with Photon Lance that was triggered when I attacked. The plan was to hit him with photon lance + still waters/high tide + 1 missile from my drone (that attacks once during a final strike) but i missed everything besides photon lance…
But photon lance triggered Fire and Water damage as well! On this build I do have frostfire, shatter and water abilities. My theory is that maybe photon lance acts as a ‘tool’ and gains its properties? Thoughts anyone?
I was testing an invincible light build but even though I take no damage from shredder, I still dont score confidence? If you check the clip i uploaded, i clearly take hits from the ninja elite with my shield up but still get confidence. did anyone get confidence when defeating shredder? is it even possible?
When her car left the driveway I pulled out my burner: “…Don’t worry, you’ll get close enough—she won’t resist or scream.”
I heard her chains clink before I closed the basement door: “Please let me die.”
Hey all. There’s a good bunch of theory-crafters in our community but often when you’re testing a build, it becomes frustrating with you’re at the mercy of the RNG gods when choosing powers.
When I test builds I use the force-close/restart exploit to get the powers I’m looking for.
For those of you who don’t know, here’s how it works:
Basically when you clear a room and you get room rewards that you don’t want, you force-close the game, restart and continue your run. Do this before making any kind of selection at the room rewards screen. This has the same effect as using dice. The difference is that when you use the exploit and turtle powers come up, they’re guaranteed to be powers from the tree linked to the artifact you have equipped.
If you using steam, I’ve linked an AutoHotkey script (from my google drive) that allows a force-close and restarts the game with a single button press. I’ve mapped the script to the F2 key and I use JoyToKey to map the F2 key to the R3 button on my controller.
AutoHotkey is freeware (make sure you download v2 cos the script is written for v2) and Joy2Key is shareware like Winrar, lol so basically free as well. Both are extremely easy to set up and there’s a ton of YouTube videos to help.
You can edit the script by opening it in notepad. Once you have Joy2Key (configured) and AutoHotkey installed, just double click the script I’ve attached. It will look like nothing happened but if you press F2 (or the button you linked F2 on in Joy2Key), the game will launch and you don’t need to be in big picture mode in steam (although it will work in BPM regardless). While you’re in game, press F2 again and it will force close and restart.
If you don’t have Joy2Key or AutoHotkey, a simple google search will bring it up. You can edit the script and change F2 to any key you’d like.
Hope this helps!
I wanted to see if Ascendency stacks and it definitely does! I’m still working on this so I’ll post build details once it’s more refined. Shout out to u/twisted_bass_man. The stuff you DM’d was amazing and it motivated me to work on this
Can you figure out the one I missed?

Power selection just shown just before Junkinator. PAUSE TO VIEW.
This build uses Donny’s mastery to proc final strike after tool and special use. Damage come from from Still Waters and DoT (damage over time) from fire and utrom
The combination of masteries really make this small bot the elemental king
The driver opened the door and we were greeted with a wide smile from a rather attractive envoy: “Hi and welcome to OceanGate…”
My third heave was dry so I desperately ripped open her bathroom cabinet, clumsily spilling an open box of pregnancy strips and a white container bearing a crudely handwritten label: “S-Thalidomide”
It was his first time making it past the last hammer bro 😊
This isn’t one of my shredder-melt builds but it’s just is satisfying to run this one hit build with Alopex and Ralph. But it’s not as satisfying as the Still Waters build with Donny!
So I’ve hopped online a few times and it’s a really good time except for the lag that’s make me look like noob! I’ve tried just getting used to it and adjusting my playstyle but it’s sucking the joy out of the game for me. Im using Ethernet and I using a steam copy if that makes any difference. Is there some kind of magic dns setting or something I’m not doing to help with the lag?
This is a bit of doozy…
I’ve been an extremely close friend with a female (I’m male) for 10years. In this time we did try being more than friends but it was never ever the right time as we bounced from one toxic romantic relationship to another.
Recently she’s in the midst of ending a very long very painful relationship with a covert narcissist. In this time several things have happened.
she’s rediscovering her sexual nature and has started participating in exhibitionism by dancing suggestively and topless infront of her kitchen window late in the evenings. It didn’t matter who saw but her neighbor across the road has taken note of her dancing and he watches her every night. Personally I don’t have an issue with sexual fetishes and I was glad that she felt empowered by doing this. She lives in a gated complex and the neighbor in question is living with his mother and fiancé, making actual contact near impossible without coordination and some courage. However seeing as the point of her exhibitionism isn’t about engaging physically, it’s a moot point.
The other thing that happened is that she and I have realized that it’s really us who love and understand each other without judgement and completely. So aside from being intimate, we have also said that we will work towards being with each other once and will freely love each other even though we aren’t in an offical relationship (until the one with her narc is over— for context, she lives in his house but he works out of the country, coming home to her every 3 months for 10 days at a time, this has been the case for the last 4 years)
I personally have been supporting and grounding her without an agenda or being bias, that may sound hard to believe but I’ve been through my fair share as well so I’m open minded in this regard as I am with sex. It’s only recently (the last 3 weeks) that we’ve felt and exchanged love and I’m admittedly wary and guarded in some regards .
I became concerned recently when she told me that she gotten the neighbors number off a WhatsApp group and made arb contact. This lead to a very sexually loaded flurry of messages including the neighbor sending a dick pic. This didn’t feel okay to me so I told her. I said that I felt that she was making a destructive choice based on her need for power and as an answer to the rejection she’s felt from the narc (who’s cheated on her). I also felt that the neighbor was in too close proximity and with them being in contact, anything can happen. Finally I admitted that seeing as we did want to work on being together that I felt insecure and hurt that she was actively seeking this from someone else. She assured me that nothing would happen and that I need not worry.
The screenshots are the last messages I sent after finding out that the contact had evolved into voice notes and calls, in which he says he loves her and in another he wanted reassurance that her dances were always meant to get his attention and is a special thing they share.
AIO for how I replied? Should I just accept that we aren’t in a relationship and she owes me nothing? And should i continue being there as a neutral source of support, with not intimacy or conversations of romantic love? Or should I just step away altogether?
My 14-year-old son wrote this poem during a week he spent at his mother’s house in a shared custody arrangement (we alternate weeks between homes). He is a very emotionally perceptive and creative kid, and he writes poetry and plays piano. I also write and play music, so there is a shared creative language between us.
He shared this poem with me recently and said he felt it was “bland,” but I experienced it very differently. To me, it reads as emotionally complex for his age, particularly in its use of imagery, symbolism, and tone rather than direct description.
I’m not posting this to diagnose or over-interpret it, but to get broader perspectives from people who read poetry regularly. I’m interested in how others interpret the emotional landscape of the piece; particularly themes that seem to involve displacement, attachment, identity, and perception of different emotional environments or authority figures.
Any literary or reader-based interpretations would be appreciated.
PS the title he said me is a portmanteau of Terrorist and Tourist
Tourorist
Countless nights
I’ve slept eyes shut.
In the warm embrace of light
Shrouded in darkness.
A place of heavenly peace.
But I have once again been abducted.
My light overwhelmed in the darkness
Of the faceless faces
And in their plastic home.
Why have I been exiled
For what He has done, my grace?
My egg has been broken
By my own caregiver,
In favour of the imposter.
Why have I been punished
For His disharmony, your honour?
Corrupt policemen.
They’ve shot me down,
right before your very eyes.
As for you,
Where my heart is laid bare
My light has gone out with yours.
I stopped playing the piano
The day I’d witnessed yours crumble
Before me.
Because of me.
Instead of me.
From my fogged, bent glasses,
I’d seen you give up.
From my blurred vision,
I’d seen your lifeless body
Dragged around in a field of suffering.
Acres of corn screaming in pain.
Soil deeply begging to be rid
From the Earth in which it resides.
I await the day that you come back,
to play your piano.
For mine is ever lost
In the fog of my mind.
