also love it that sometimes the number of drafts i have just... disappears after i've gone in there. so just for a second i get to fear that it might've posted all of my drafts at once. fun

going through my drafts rn. it's certainly a gold mine huh

Night Raid was the funniest mission of the first game if I think about it. Incredibly annoying to restart if you fuck up that first part and then offers you an engaging and difficult to make choice that ultimately doesn't matter, bc the mission is designed to fail before your decision has any consequences lol. Like a few missions in the late game are cool on paper but the execution wasn't quite there imo

Attempting this oc-posting thing, but what does one even say? I've got a voice claim for Sterling. I can offer you that, I suppose.

It's Royce Bracket, voiced by Sunkrish Bala!

(Funnily enough remembering Royce for this voice claim made me replay Transistor, so yup that's why my blog looks like this now btw!)

Some thoughts below the cut:

imo he has such an interesting way of speaking. How and where he pauses, the unusual rhythm to his sentences, how detached he sounds. You really get the impression that he considers everything he says--every word--very carefully.

It's much the same for Sterling but for different reasons. Royce is just built like that I think, but it's a fear thing for Sterling. In the past he has gotten so much shit from his parents for sounding "stupid", that he overexamines every word choice while he's speaking. Hence all the pauses, which he also uses to consciously check the reactions of whoever he's speaking to. Whether or not they're getting annoyed and someone's gonna yell at him again. Less actual observing and more actively looking for signs that confirm his fear, interpreting malice in every minor twitch of an eyebrow etc. It's unnecessary because--like Royce here--he's actually quite articulate!

The other thing being the detached-ness in Royce's voice, which in his case I'd ascribe to him being tired and overworked. For Sterling though, I imagine that his parents would often chastise him for "raising his voice" at them. In turn he learned to speak more quietly and with a less varied and emotional inflection. Also unnecessary, because whenever he got chastised it was never about the actual volume, but to shut down him attempting to push back on their abuse. But how else do you rationalize this as a child? What do you do, but change one of the few things you have control over, like your voice?

Sometimes fandom is like I wish I could find it in my heart to tolerate your guy. You look like you’re having such fun chewing on him.

Why do you talk like a Homestuck character? Do you not feel embarrassed? There's only so far that "cringe is dead" can go you know.

The Homestuck fan has some shit to say

Pinterest in your email: you stupid fat fucking cunt. It’s you again huh. We literally just deleted another disgustingly vile and heinous post that YOU pinned. Doesn’t matter that it’s not originally yours. You interacted with it didn’t you? Didn’t you fatty? We don’t allow this despicable behavior. You’re sick. Please take some of your precious fucking jobless time to go through your tacky Pins and remove any that may conflict with our pristine policies or we may take further action against your flop account. God I wanna fucking kill you.

Thanks,

The Pinterest Team

Royce's notes from the manual that came with the physical edition of Transistor:

<!-- if grant is really going to borrow this, why then i best make sure he understands exactly what he's doing i suppose. royce --!> <!-- sybil screened each name on the list. should be quick, overall, get-in-get-out, and they'll be helping us. i think they all, we all, we want the same thing, right? royce --!> <!-- i think i know what it is! i really think i know, why it's the key, to everything! it really is the key, to absolutely everything. not speaking metaphorically, well, maybe only sort of. royce --!> <!-- what will they say about us, after all is said and done? not the right question i think. we're talking about cloudbank! they'll say only what they think they want. royce --!> <!-- make sure they know the transistor has to stay in its cradle when not in use. royce --!> <!-- if it can do this, then what else? what else can it do? royce --!> <!-- the process works together, plays together you might say, quite like a band, or rather orchestra! and like an orchestra, it needs direction to achieve its rhythm. royce --!> <!-- don't think about it twice. they're going to the country. nice place, they say! maybe not quite so nice as cloudbank's going to be, but still, it'll be nice and quiet there. royce --!> <!-- i know i don't often say this but we're in a good spot here, a very good spot with everything lately! the mark of a good plan is knowing how it all plays out. royce --!>
