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.

It’s like a reverse idle game, if you DON’T click the room, the mess keeps growing
Paradoxius
Horrifying concept. It has been added to my game design notebook.
thakoru
That’s kind of just the original Animal Crossing.
Needfuldoer
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.
NGPZ
Quantum lock lifeform. Look at Watson but do NOT look at his eyes.
Decidedly Orthogonal
Thank youuuuu!
Dara
Yes, to take it out you have to destroy the mess generator, but nobody is going to destroy Becky, so it remains forever.
Ana Chronistic
haha mod for Gauntlet that spawns mess from Becky

“Dina and I actually can’t fool around in here because she keeps getting distracted by trying to study it.”
NGPZ
O believe me I would love to study it too! ?
And perhaps make a game of it.
True Survivor
“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”
Reltzik
It’s because the mess has strata.
StClair
Entropy, manifest.
True Survivor
Ruth looks snazzy in her white suit.

Is that a game premium skin?
shanunu
Pretty sure its denim overalls and a button up plaid shirt

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.
Proxiehunter
Oh, like the tf2 coconut.
Nono
Wait, maybe when Joyce solves her period issues with birth control, the irritability flows into Dorothy instead!
Taellosse
Ew. That sounds deeply unsanitary!
Mark
Could be a quantum entanglement. Spooky, but not unsanitary.
Dana
Can’t clean that particular pile of laundry. It’s load bearing.
Dana
I’m tired.
Dana
At least I didn’t mistake any of the dialog for my own thoughts.
Angel

HueSatLight
hungover from one shot at 19. I guess she also might not have eaten anything all day though. And stress.
Needfuldoer
She might have consumed more off-screen.
Or she’s almost as much of a lightweight as the Walkerton twins.
Karla Jean
Hangover. Bet she’s looking for some hair of the dog.
Angel

Slartibeast Button, BIA
Now I am interpreting Becky’s dialogue with the old school patriarchal definition of “in trouble.”
Angel
well, if she drinks again i’d say trouble is gonna be in her ;P
Masumi
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.
Angel
as long as cockroaches/geckos aren’t living underneath it, it should be fine lol. sometimes piles of laundry can be comforting lol
Masumi
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.
Masumi
*stuff dammit swipy thing
Angel
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
Needfuldoer
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!
thakoru
Alright, Willis, when are you going to start tagging the Pile of Lesbos?
Slartibeast Button, BIA
“The Pile of Lesbos” – wasn’t that one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?
DailyBrad
Ha, I dig it.
Amelie Wikström
Pile as in natural uranium reactor?
Proxiehunter
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
Pocky
I swear; I hate when I clean and mess just pops into existence like that, so annoying!
DailyBrad
She needs a hamper.
JRivest
Now if DOROTHY’s parents were to come visit, that might actually be helpful.
Needfuldoer
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.
Time Sage
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.

BOOSTER SHOT
Do Becky’s messes count as Oversized Comedy Props?
Needfuldoer
Maybe it did before Becky cleaned up.
Hazel
Is she hungover? How much did she drink?
NGPZ
Sample bottles ain’t that much, but she probably a light weight :3
Juanoku
I know that feel

She just wants some fast food breakfast but they won’t make her any because it’s 10:01.
Autogatos
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.”)
Autogatos
Label?? I meant panel. Wow my brain really isn’t working today. How do I English
Clif
How do I English? Let me count the ways.
