History Fridge / Transistor

* It's not a sword. [[http://amzn.com/B008RVPIBU It's a flash drive]]. More technically, it's a USB security dongle. Just a really, really big one. [[http://store.supergiantgames.com/collections/frontpage/products/transistor-usb-drive Supergiant Games might be catching up with the joke here...]]

** From a certain point of view, the [[DownerEnding ending]] isn't quite as tragic as it first looks. [[spoiler:Since both the impossible environment at Fairview and the existence of the Sandbox imply that Cloudbank is itself a virtual environment of some sort, then Red's body there ''isn't real either.'' From what Mr. Nobody tells her, she knows there's some kind of world within the Transistor itself. From that perspective, she's just transferring herself from one reality to another, where both her voice and her love are waiting for her. It's not suicide, it's just a data export.]]

** In electronic terms, a transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch (let through/cut off) electronic signals and electrical power; a metaphor for the act of voting to choose something.

* Some have noted that the soundtrack chronicle Red's decent into depression. In Circles is about regret and anger and lack of mercy, The Spine calls the world sick and speaks of wanting to escape from it and We All Become laments uniformity and lack of identity [[NotSoDifferent similar to the Camerata's creed]]. However, in-universe all of those songs were written and performed by Red long before the game started. Red was probably always depressed.

* When you first encounter Sibyl, the interface says [[spoiler:she's 98% processed. She enters her final form, when she stops attacking and just lies there broken and weeping, when you get her down to the last 2% of her total hit points (adding up the total across all three stages.) In other words, her final form is all that's left of her humanity.]]

* "We'll never hear the end of this are we?" [[spoiler: The core of the problem presented in storyline is a dilemma. There's no known solution.]]

** Breach(): A security breach in a program. This makes sense since Red's friend jumped in front of the Transistor that was thrown to kill her. It also makes sense since Red's friend appears to have no entry in the Cities Database.

* It is mentioned that Red can communicate with the unnamed user in the Transistor, because they knew each other. It is possible that all of the traces stored within the Transistor are sentient and she simply cannot hear them. Moreover, [[spoiler: after the fall of the city and Red's suicide, those traces may 'live' completely isolated for a very long time with little or no external stimuli.]]
