Is that ladder how you enter and never exit again?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

That's how to get in and out of the bathroom pit. It's just easier to clean up if the ~~victim~~ guest uses the toilet.

How else is the creature supposed to go to the potty?

[–] Omer_Ash@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

You can exit if you want, just make sure not to wake up anything in the process ;)

I like the explosive barrel. Really ties the room together.

Nights can be horrifying, but rent's free, so can't really complain.

I'll never question randomly placed props in games again.

The propane tank is only there as an easy means of defeating the monster that breaks through the wall nearby. That's smart game design right there.

You should visit a normal bathroom and take notes

Was that propane tank in a war?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Holy shit, that’s what that thing is.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

That propane tank really adds to the scene.

Looks like a room in Shadowgate.

Can't remember is this before or after you fight the BOW Yawn?

Imagine shitting in there then something caresses your leg.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

At least you'd get a good 'clear out'...

The quality of the photo makes me think this was a photo taken near the elephant's foot or something.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago

It looks like a snuff movie has taken place or will take place.

The most comfortable bathroom on my relatives house
