Specifically the terrifying Watson NPC from that Sherlock Holmes game, where they didn’t give him a walking animation, so he just teleports into existence whenever you look somewhere.else.
For the uninitiated. Warning: watching this video might cause him to spawn in your house.
lol these days i wonder if ppl just spray febreeze to prolong doing loads, but i guess the pile would be a chance for becky to do laundry and maybe awkwardly catch joyce
how many days have passed? or did ruth drop her off in the middle of the night and then she woke up and left, since becky didn’t know that ruth brought her back
Yeah, that happens when you’re ADHD. If you ever manage to get everything clean all of a sudden it isn’t anymore with no explanation of how. Medication can help a little
We’re focusing on Becky and Ruth now. Seems unlikely either of Becky’s parents will show up, due to circumstances. Clint could show up to mess with Ruth, which would be awful.
Since Carol’s already here though, it’d be fun for her to run into Becky.
It’s the same clothes in the same order.
Scoop up clothes into bag/basket. Realize you need something out of a pocket from something you just wore. Since it’s now at the bottom of the basket, it’s easiest to just dump it all out, restoring the original pile.
Years come and years go, and Becky still has a soft spot for Dorothy’s downfall. Well I can’t let Dorothy self-destruct, it’d be too easy now for Becky to see!!
Gasp! What if Dumbing of Age is actually Dorothy’s Villain Origin Story?
(This has probably been said before but it’s the first time I’ve thought of it, so)
Voluminously, sarcastically, trippingly upon the tongue. Above all ,goodly, and like a drunken sailor adrift on the seas of fate after ingesting a quart and half of LSD and a couple of mixed metaphors.
In college I was the neat freak, and every roommate I had was messy like Becky. I hated it and refused to clean their mess piles, and just shifted it away from my stuff. After 2 years of messy roommates I got single dorm rooms for the rest of my college years.
1. Went back to the strips where they broke into Becky’s old house (to see if there were signs of Becky’s messiness there) and now I’m SAD.
2.I know people were talking about, what if Joe saved Joyce from hee mom, but also, what if Becky? Could also be good. I imagine that if Becky glanced out her window and saw Carol out by Joyce, Becky would be down there in a *second.*
My freshman roommate kept a pile of clothes to land on, when he got out or the top bunk. I think they were clean. After I pulled two all-nighters in a row, it looked like they were breathing. The pile of clothes appeared to breath, I mean. my roommate always breathed.
I feel becky really hard on this. Different situations but the house seems to only get dirtier the more I clean it. Like, we clean up all the stuff in the way of something, then tomorrow not only is more stuff there, but it has spread out further.
It’s like a reverse idle game, if you DON’T click the room, the mess keeps growing
Horrifying concept. It has been added to my game design notebook.
That’s kind of just the original Animal Crossing.
Some people took their Sims’ pool ladders away.
I took away their trash cans.
You are a cruel deity.
It spawns like an NPC.

Omg weeping angel Watson. That’s terrifying.
Don’t. Blink.
Quantum lock lifeform. Look at Watson but do NOT look at his eyes.
Thank youuuuu!
Yes, to take it out you have to destroy the mess generator, but nobody is going to destroy Becky, so it remains forever.
haha mod for Gauntlet that spawns mess from Becky
*plays Lindsay Buckingham’s “Trouble” on the hacked Muzak*
“Dina and I actually can’t fool around in here because she keeps getting distracted by trying to study it.”
O believe me I would love to study it too! ?
And perhaps make a game of it.
“She said she wanted to come over and study my wormhole, but when I took my clothes off she got angry and said I was contaminating her samples”
It’s because the mess has strata.
Entropy, manifest.
Ruth looks snazzy in her white suit.
Is that a game premium skin?
Pretty sure its denim overalls and a button up plaid shirt
see also: Canadian Tuxedo
It’s like that one unused mushroom in Super Mario Galaxy (and 2). Nobody knows why, but if you remove it from the files the whole game crashes.
Oh, like the tf2 coconut.
Wait, maybe when Joyce solves her period issues with birth control, the irritability flows into Dorothy instead!
Ew. That sounds deeply unsanitary!
Could be a quantum entanglement. Spooky, but not unsanitary.
Can’t clean that particular pile of laundry. It’s load bearing.
I’m tired.
At least I didn’t mistake any of the dialog for my own thoughts.
lol these days i wonder if ppl just spray febreeze to prolong doing loads, but i guess the pile would be a chance for becky to do laundry and maybe awkwardly catch joyce
hungover from one shot at 19. I guess she also might not have eaten anything all day though. And stress.
She might have consumed more off-screen.
Or she’s almost as much of a lightweight as the Walkerton twins.
Hangover. Bet she’s looking for some hair of the dog.
how many days have passed? or did ruth drop her off in the middle of the night and then she woke up and left, since becky didn’t know that ruth brought her back
Now I am interpreting Becky’s dialogue with the old school patriarchal definition of “in trouble.”
well, if she drinks again i’d say trouble is gonna be in her ;P
Yeah I have a mess like that too. I swear I spent most of yesterday cleaning! See, you can even see the floor!… Why’s the floor gone.
as long as cockroaches/geckos aren’t living underneath it, it should be fine lol. sometimes piles of laundry can be comforting lol
What do you have against geckos? Those are cute! And catch mosquitoes. And live behind did, not under messes, as far as I can tell.
*stuff dammit swipy thing
i dont have anything against geckos/lizards but they shouldn’t rly be inside lol
I think i saw a random/wild one go into mycloset and never come out. otherwise they usually stick to the walls or outside lol
But even with stuff like spiders being in the corner i think some ppl try to get rid/sweep those up as well even if they eat bugs lol
I can get one part of my place looking nice and clean, but it comes at the expense of all the other parts of my place.
The mean clutter level must be maintained!
Alright, Willis, when are you going to start tagging the Pile of Lesbos?
“The Pile of Lesbos” – wasn’t that one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?
Ha, I dig it.
Pile as in natural uranium reactor?
Yeah, that happens when you’re ADHD. If you ever manage to get everything clean all of a sudden it isn’t anymore with no explanation of how. Medication can help a little
I swear; I hate when I clean and mess just pops into existence like that, so annoying!
She needs a hamper.
Now if DOROTHY’s parents were to come visit, that might actually be helpful.
You know they’d be a little disappointed, but unwaveringly supportive.
She won’t find it helpful, and maybe even interpret it as pressure to continue on her old path, somehow.
Yes but that would be in spite of good intentions not due to a lack of them, which would be a refreshing change of pace in parents.
We’re focusing on Becky and Ruth now. Seems unlikely either of Becky’s parents will show up, due to circumstances. Clint could show up to mess with Ruth, which would be awful.
Since Carol’s already here though, it’d be fun for her to run into Becky.
Do Becky’s messes count as Oversized Comedy Props?
Maybe it did before Becky cleaned up.
Is she hungover? How much did she drink?
Sample bottles ain’t that much, but she probably a light weight :3
I know that feel
Dumbing of Age: A Magical Realism Story
wait that ain’t magic. that smells more like game logic :p
It’s the same clothes in the same order.

Hello plaid jacket on Becky’s mess, been a while.
Gasp! What if Dumbing of Age is actually Dorothy’s Villain Origin Story?
(This has probably been said before but it’s the first time I’ve thought of it, so)
She just wants some fast food breakfast but they won’t make her any because it’s 10:01.
I misread that last label as “That’s just spontaneous greatness” and didn’t really question it because it sounds like something Becky would say XD
Sometimes Becky really reminds me of my kid, she too seems to spontaneously generate mess (and would describe it as “spontaneous greatness.”)
Label?? I meant panel. Wow my brain really isn’t working today. How do I English
How do I English? Let me count the ways.

I recognized that reference dot gif. And GIGGLES…
haha, definitely not foreshadowing.
haha, Dorothy will definitely not be in trouble by the end of the arc.
haha, definitely not in really big trouble.
Stop jinxing!
I have piles of stuff that spontaneously generate, but it usually involves paper rather than clothes.
“Is Becky in trouble?”
“Not with me”
Becky’s committed to the sitcom roommate tropes, I’ll give her that.
In college I was the neat freak, and every roommate I had was messy like Becky. I hated it and refused to clean their mess piles, and just shifted it away from my stuff. After 2 years of messy roommates I got single dorm rooms for the rest of my college years.
1. Went back to the strips where they broke into Becky’s old house (to see if there were signs of Becky’s messiness there) and now I’m SAD.
2.I know people were talking about, what if Joe saved Joyce from hee mom, but also, what if Becky? Could also be good. I imagine that if Becky glanced out her window and saw Carol out by Joyce, Becky would be down there in a *second.*
I’m sure she would, but she already knows Carol dislikes her. Joe would be new interaction, also he’s big so he can pack mule the boxes.
*looks around my office* Huh. I am Becky, but with paperwork instead of clothes.
me too!
My freshman roommate kept a pile of clothes to land on, when he got out or the top bunk. I think they were clean. After I pulled two all-nighters in a row, it looked like they were breathing. The pile of clothes appeared to breath, I mean. my roommate always breathed.
As far as you know.
I should have checked with a mirror every night while he was sleeping. That’s a tip for any college bound kids. keep a log in a little notepad.
I feel becky really hard on this. Different situations but the house seems to only get dirtier the more I clean it. Like, we clean up all the stuff in the way of something, then tomorrow not only is more stuff there, but it has spread out further.
Top of the pile looking a little “sus” to me…. I think yellow needs to be ejected. 😀
