Game Theory: The Dirty Secrets of PowerWash Simulator

since this place is next to a volcano, which is something we saw history-wise and I want to explore. I want a matpat deep dive video on the history of pressure washing

simulator

. They have summoned me. Hello Internet, welcome to the

game

. Theory of the program that is like a great attempt not to be dissatisfied, a challenge for you and our viewers, Angelica Schuyler, you and our viewers, dear theorists. I love this time of year, the sun, the barbecues, the family adventures. I love summer and, hell, when it's nice. I don't even mind outdoor chores, some of you may have seen my Instagram stories where I had the monstrous task of cleaning our pool, to which I was met with comments like why didn't you go into dad mode and Did you just buy a pressure? washing machine and the honest answer is because I already had a big revelation last year.

I used to clean every square inch of our driveway, porch, and deck this year. I was less enthusiastic. Can I be honest with you? I'm just tired. It's been a long year, but hand washing is great, the power of washing is like Mario Sunshine in real life cleaning the streets line by satisfying line. I'm sure we've all fallen into the trap of watching satisfying pressure washer videos on YouTube. then and now we can all unleash our full potential and create our own satisfying content thanks to the best indie

game

of 2021, power wash

simulator

because Doon Chores are video games, it's much better than doing them in real life, this little indie title from Future Lab seems to have emerged one day and suddenly become a viral hit, the means to satisfy that primal need for things to be clean has finally become available to the masses and people have really stuck with it, turning the game practically into something of its own. art form and I must say this is wonderful, cleaning away the dirt little by little, slowly regaining clean and orderly control over the chaotic and

dirty

world around us, but then the inevitable happened, the illusion was shattered, the creators added a story told through text messages and little background. details and a YouTuber noticed this and called us I want a deep matpat video on the history of the pressure washing simulator my favorite dining companion Markiplier let's put it on your pretty little head here if we need a head So big, I mean.

Look at that face, he can't and tell him no, so I started to delve into the story and let me tell you. I think I have something that no one has considered yet. I think I've broken down the murky story. of the pressure washing simulator as much as possible and now it's time to make this puppy shine. Bookmark this one for you, friend, as well as the hundreds of other theorists who have tweeted me about this over the past two weeks because remember if you ever want to. to harass me on the

theory

that you want to see me, just hit me up at matpat GT on Twitter.

I don't tweet very often, but I hear your tweets like Megan Weber asking me for the last 312 days to finish Luigi. Mansion 3 on GT live I hear you. I don't know if it will happen, but I heard you. You might not complete Luigi's Mansion, but maybe I can do one or two more episodes. It's a long game, so let's set the stage. take control of a character who decides to start a pressure washing business the doctor extraordinaire pressure washing sorry, the dirt finder General no, no, it's the Dirt Bandits, the Dirt Amendment changes a lot but always always with a bad game of words mixed up there anyway as we travel around the town of muckingham, jeez, this game has more dad jokes than me, we clean everything from cars to houses to skate parks, but nothing is quiet as it seems that the friends it's okay, well mostly it is, but as Mark rightly says, this is not just any city has a volcano nearby, not to mention a national park, waterfalls, a big river, it's really an unusual location, practically a buffet geological, so where exactly Buckingham is located.

The overall layout and clues scattered throughout the game tell us quite clearly that Unfortunately, we are in the United States if you search for US states with volcanoes and national parks, you frankly get a lot of results, so you better Let's find a more defining feature and looking closer at the city's architecture doesn't give us much to work with. It feels like we're meant to be in a generic place in the style of any US city. The most unusual feature is that you have all these strange British terms mixed in with the mission descriptions. Back Garden instead of backyard when you go to the playground, the Merry-Go. -The round is called a roundabout and the vehicles tire is spelled with a Y.

Now, obviously, Future Lab is a company based in Great Britain, which explains a lot of things, but as far as the story of the game goes, The character is British and he is not the only one. the park warden uses the phrase swings and roundabouts, a British phrase, and then there's Algernon Evans, the quintessential British snob and posh character who offers you a thruppony for your troubles, which is an old British coin. All this is to say that there seems to be a heavy Brit. influence on the dialect, but we're meant to be in an American city, so if we're going to identify where muckingham is, we need to cross-reference our list of states that contain a volcanic state park with the states that contain the largest population of British Americans from there.

We should have a good approximation of where Muckingham is in the world. Utah takes the number one spot with a population of 29 British Americans; However, their national parks are more on the rocky side than the forest side, as we see in the game, so they are Next up is Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, which have a lot of Brits and a lot of volcanoes, but they're all dormant. , which doesn't line up with the smoke we see coming out of the volcano in the game. to Wyoming and Idaho, which have volcano national parks and lots of Brits, but you look closer and you start to see that they don't match.

Idaho's craters of the moon have several mountain tops, and Wyoming's famous Yellowstone is a caldera rather than a large Rocky Mountain volcano. That brings us to our seventh place winner, Oregon, with 13 British American inhabitants, Mount Hood, which creates that distinctive volcanic skyline and many national parks, waterfalls and lakes. I think Oregon is our best real world location for muckingham, so we're a British person in the town of muckingham, based in Oregon, trying to get our business off the ground, but now that we know where we are, it's time to dig deeper. why we are Time for that sweet, sweet tradition, baby, the gist of today's episode, you see, this game is building up to two major twists that, unless you meticulously put together the puzzle pieces of this game and also investigate the ethics and the science of pressure washing, which let's be honest, who doesn't do it these days would go completely unnoticed by the casual gamer, so get out your hoses and get ready to pressurize because we're about to spray that story all over your screens.

One of the first side stories to emerge is that of the Haunted House, owned by the superstitious Aura Smith and Jenny Pebbles, they bought a

dirty

old house that was once owned by movie star Esther from F. Esther from eth, really Guys, anyway, there are stories of the properties being haunted by the Spirit of Esther after she disappeared from the national park and was never heard from again. I'll make sure spooky things happen in the house. We get texts about a mysterious rumbling noise on the side of the house, we see strange symbols that were spoken like the language of angels, so I don't know about you, but it seems to me it's time to start theorizing just like it is.

I was doing it. to decipher the message by looking up enokian the cult that the language originated in the game sends us a text message turns out it's not a mysterious celestial language at all but rather a construction diagram so plumbers know where the overflow pipes go Same thing with the thud, it's just Jenny putting the clothes through a spin cycle, when you finish the job you get one last text from Aura saying there was a squeak from the attic. So I opened the latch and something swished past my face, followed by a dirty gray. feather mysteriously floating down I think it was Esther's soul that finally left in peace squeaking something flying past you dirty gray feather I hate to tell you but I think it was a dove so, yeah, that's not a

theory

, that's a gentle interpretation of tradition. the game feeds you when you complete the house to 100% thanks for watching our next subplot, although it requires a little more rebuilding in the national park.

If you look beyond the area you're clearing, you can see muddy footprints leading from Bush to Bush. It's easy to miss, but becomes hugely important in the most recent update to The Treehouse level. In this level, we are introduced to Hunter. Loads a Missing Link Investigator, also known as a Bigfoot Hunter. This would be a perfect place for Sasquatches, just as nurseries are cribs. that we see in other parts of the field, keep in mind that these people have been searching for Bigfoot for 12 seasons of Television 12 Seasons, we get a lot of traction from the team, especially in the fall, no, there is not much Squatch action because Bigfoot does not De Anyway, there aren't 100 episodes of this.

Hunter claims that pranksters come to his hideout and make supernatural noises by throwing stinking mud. I mean, they could be pranksters or it's exactly what he's been looking for. Bigfoot, we even see big footprints on the treehouse cover and hearing thuds in the distance is real Bigfoot in this universe, this game seems to want us to think that, but like with the haunted house, I'm not convinced that you see at the beginning of the game we do a job for H. and G hexenjager who live in a grotto and make gingerbread, so yes this is Hansel and Gretel from the nursery rhyme G even refers to H as Hansel in one of their texts, now these two are interesting because they are currently hidden.

They are living in the woods posing as bakers because Hansel robbed a bank. I mean, if the graffiti on the side of the house didn't make it clear enough, Gretel practically tells us this directly, but why would it be relevant to Bigfoot? Well, we also get this detail from Gretel's quote. Hansel has a huge beard, long unruly hair and defeated eyes, so picture this, we have Hansel trying to hide in the woods looking like a big Grizzly Man in a quick glance, easily mistaken for Bigfoot and some. he tells me that an outlaw in the lamb wouldn't take kindly to all the cameras the hunters set up around his house trying to catch a Squatch, hence the screaming and throwing mud to try to scare it away.

Yet another example is something supernatural explained by mundane elements found in the game, if you consider dangerous criminals hiding in the forest mundane, I guess as for other plot lines in the game, there is also a child romance story in In the background, when you reach the skate park level, you find a piece of graffiti that represents a love heart with the initials cm and FP, the CM refers to Kelvin Miller, one of our recurring characters who keeps seeing the runaway cat from the mayor around town when he first moves into his new home. Remember a former resident of the house of a girl named Florine Florine Perez FP her ex-girlfriend seems like a throwaway detail until Calvin is saved by the fire department At the top of the volcano and you'll never guess who the pilot is.

The final text string ends with Kelvin saying that he is rude. text about a date, so it looks like cm and FP have found each other again and their romance is rekindling, but now it's time for us to talk about the main story within the game, the mayor's missing cats, This is what you wanted, Markiplier, is this fascinating version? The modern narrative, I mean, the cat narrative, is quite easy here. Our friend Harper informs us of the cat's disappearance and now the whole town is alert because without him the Spring Festival cannot take place for some reason.

This explains the cat's paws we have. Seen in many of the levels, as well as the missing signs often seen in the forest levels, the mock Denver Fire Chief claims that there is no cat and that it is all a conspiracy to distract the city. of a mysterious oil pipeline that the mayor is building and well that certainly could be true, surely there is a cat in our second mission, we see a red-haired cat jump off the roof of the shed and again, much later, we receive messages from Calvin, when he is climbing the volcano, who sees a red-haired cat.with a funny leg proving once again that the cat is real.

I think there might be something sinister going on with the mayor's pipeline, but as far as I can tell, the cat has nothing to do with it unless, of course, the whole town is hallucinating thanks to volcanic gas, but depending on everyone's behavior It seems unlikely, so there you have it. I guess the pressure washing simulator story means it's okay, but there doesn't seem to be much mystery here every time I get close to something. The game just gave me the answer or debunked itself, but you've all been watching me long enough or maybe not, you have to hit that subscribe button right now, but either way you know I wouldn't leave it there.

You know I had to keep digging, Markiplier's eyes were on me, I couldn't just let him down, so guess what I found, here's the twist, folks, you are the villain of the pressure washing simulator, yeah, it's that twist. of the hero of classical game theory. of the story was actually the villain throughout our power-washing protagonist joins the ranks of Mario Phoenix Wright and Kirby, as well as the handful of other characters we've been fooled about for decades and I've got it all What do I need to prove it? It all starts with why everything is so dirty, just like Mark said, it's the volcano in Bungalow Mission, we see a volcano smoking in the background and quite close I might add, the smoke tells us that.

The volcano is currently active, we don't see it now nothing dramatic like lava coming out of him, but that doesn't mean he's interrupting. There is a type of eruption that can occur called phreatic eruptions. These eruptions are caused by the interaction of heat from magma. Therefore, with water a large amount of steam, toxic gases and, most importantly, ash are produced. This is what I think is the black substance around the city. It's coming out of the volcano and covering these houses and we have proof. Let's notice all the rust on the vehicles and metal. parts of houses Ash is abrasive and causes corrosion of metals, it would also explain the dermatitis that children contract when playing in the dirty yard, since ash is also a potential skin irritant, while the toxic gases emitted by Phratic eruptions could make Kelvin hallucinate while climbing the mountain, however, this is all small talk, the people of Muckingham may need to worry about more than just their dirty yards, because if the volcano is doing this, they could have serious problems. problems, remember that this takes place in Oregon with The main volcano is Mount Hood, although Mount Hood has not erupted in a long time along the same volcanic line is Washington's Mount St.

Helens volcano, which erupted in eruption in March 1980. This eruption was similar to what we see happen in the game. Phreiatic eruption is definitely dangerous but not incredibly life-threatening; However, two months later, something important changed. Mount St. Helens went from a phratic eruption to a magmatic eruption, more specifically a Plinian or Vesuvian eruption and you can probably guess where it got its name. eruptions that spew a large amount of smoke, toxic gases and ash into the air, causing pyroclastic flows. These are dense, fast flows of pieces of solidified lava, volcanic ash and hot gas. They are fast and deadly, especially considering how close the city is. volcano I mean, it's these pyroclastic flows that destroyed and preserved Pompeii and, with the proximity to Mount St.

Helens, scientists have predicted that the same thing could happen at Mount Hood as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of the volcano simulator pressure washing all their work is in vain and the volcano erupts, perhaps as a result of the mayor's pipeline and all their clean houses, gardens and fences are destroyed in a massive final volcanic eruption, the evidence that led to this is there , but don't fear the townspeople because we'll be there to clean up all that dirt or we'll have a surprise twist number two, as satisfying as it is to work our way through the dirt with pinpoint precision.

Our company's existence could be causing problems that are worse than simply having a dirty car. Cities actually have to do it. organize special removal of volcanic ash and they have to do it quickly in 1980, when Mount St. Helens erupted, it cost the city of Yakima, Washington, $5.4 million and took seven straight days to remove and dispose of the old ashes, why is it such a big problem? Well, you will see that ash is not water soluble, meaning that it does not dissolve in water and therefore cannot simply be washed away. The water simply carries the ash somewhere else, either into the street or down the drains if it ends up on the street, and dries it out.

It could be picked up by gusts of wind and end up in ventilation systems and air conditioning units, and since ash is toxic when inhaled, you can see why this quickly becomes a problem, if it ends up in public drainage systems, It causes blockages that lead to clogs bursting pipes and overflowing into streets and clean water supplies, which is why volcanic ash needs to be professionally removed and not just washed away by some moron with his pressure washer, So, without exaggeration, you are the villain of the pressure washing simulator who improperly disposes of volcanic ash and, while it may be satisfying to clean all your neighbors' surfaces, you are endangering the lives and lungs of all the neighbors. that surround you as the ash rises and circulates through the air and water systems, but who cares, you're about to die. in a volcanic eruption anyway, now try playing the game.

I guarantee you that no mouthpiece will be able to eliminate that existential dread, but hey, that's just a theory, a game theory, thanks for watching, you know what would be fun if my video about this little well-known indie title was sponsored by the game more biggest in the world.
