Redundant

20.03.2025 | Comics

Comic of a washing machine. In panels 1-2 it says VRRR but is quieting down. Panel 3: The timer says 0:00 and the machine says CLICK. Panel 4: The machine is still; a voice from beyond says "Ah, the washing is done", but the end of the sentence is cut off by the next panel. Panel 5: The washing machine is shown in ominous inverted colours and it is letting out an aggressive BEEP BEEP BEEP.

Notes

Why do appliances beep? In game design relying on a secondary audio cue would just be considered redundant.

This is by no means a technical masterpiece – but it did elicit extremely strong reactions from my group of friends. Thus; mission accomplished.
