World Toilet Day 2025!

Here at Gaming Thrones, we don’t just appreciate money. We appreciate what it can do when it’s helping to expand global sanitation acces, and bringing safe toilets to communities that need them the most. Every year, inadequate sanitation contributes to 1.4 million deaths. We’re determined to shift the narrative. Pinch off this loaf: This year, thanks to the power of the Bucket Brigade, Gaming Thrones raised a combined $315 for two organizations doing extraordinary work.

$215 will be going to WaterAid, which is currently matching all donations up to $5,000, so that amount will be doubled. In the last year, WaterAid outfitted 153,600 people with proper toilets and we are proud to be part of their mission.

As a reminder, every Bucket Brigadier submission equals a $5 donation to this charity. Every shitter counts!

Also this year, because I found 10 shitters in Hogwarts Legacy, $50 will be headed to Plan International, which works to ensure sanitation efforts are grounded in gender equality. Today, Plan International is offering to TRIPLE our donation and make it $150. We are so excited to be a part of this sanitation vision, and this would not be possible without shitters in video games.

I mean, I guess I could donate money even without shitters in video games, but this makes it so much more fun.

Lastly, the Bucket Brigadier of the Year award and the Blue Bowl Award, both occurring in January, are valued at $25 each. This brings us to our 2025 total. What a year of giving it has been! I’m so thankful for our Bucket Brigade community, and to you, my reader. Thank you for seeing the strange and wonderful beauty in this project and coming along with me on this journey. You’re a beautiful human being.

Incognito shitter!

In The Outer Worlds 2, the Incognito has a cockpit, a captain’s cabin, a comms room, an engine room, a locker room, an infirmary, a “we’re leaving the ship now” area, a kennel for hosing down aliens you convince to hang out with you for a while, a tinkering shop, a kitchen/pantry nook, enough bunks for 6 crew members, and only ONE shitter. Which really makes for a compelling shitter-centric argument in favor of the Global Protectorate!

Suffolk County Charter School shitters!

This is a shitter of fear because when I found the ghoul nearby it made this weird squiggle noise that really spooked me! Now I don’t mean to brag, but I went to public school, and we turned out fine, enjoying 4-inch cheese pizza pucks with little pints of skim milk alongside our Fahrenheit 451 and PEMDAS. Meanwhile these charter school dandies were gobbling down fancy pink goo puree, squinting hard, playing with faceless dolls and meeping out “Who’s Calvin Coolidge?”

Yes, I know these bowls aren’t hooked up to anything, but this is the best you’re gonna get at the Suffolk County Charter School. I don’t know who this skeleton was who thought hiding down here was the best course of action, but at least he had 3 shitters to keep him company while waiting around to become bones, not using that Stealth Boy to actually leave and get to real safety. Perchance he was a student! Or, simply could not get enough of that perfectly seasoned pink goo, part of Vault-Tec’s Nutritional Alternative Paste Program! Num num num!

Command Room shitter!

Submitted by Bucket Brigadier Rockin’ T, this redshifted shitter is where you go when you need to call in a favor to NORAD on your 1980s AT&T touch-tone phone! “The red light is flashing and the phone is ringing and when I pick it up, a cutscene plays w an ominous phone call. This one’s in one of the patient rooms and the patient is a headless mannequin, but there’s blood where the head would’ve been.” Send not to know for whom the shitterphone rings; it rings for thee! And it’s roughly the same size as a phone booth in here. The real nightmare is trying to use that sink! The last person who tried to squeeze into this sardine can said “fuck it,” left their chanclas, and gave up.

Phoeni Tribute shitter!

More Post Trauma shitters from bucket brigadier Rockin’ T who says: “Even MORE bathrooms from the same game. TREASURE TROVE of bathrooms in this. We’re no longer in a flashback, so it’s 3rd person now. You wake up in an abandoned/apocalyptic hospital without your weapon (crowbar). There’s another mannequin woman in the dark over in the photo with the hand sticking out, but she has long black hair. I joked that the hand wanted toilet paper and it DID! I found a roll in one of the other bathrooms and brought it over. In exchange, I received a silver coin.” This exchange rate is phenomenal. Amazing squatty toilet with pink eyeshadow, serving Phoeni vapors that we love to see.

The Outer Worlds Tutorial Zone and the Urinal of Secrets!

Bucket Brigadier Swolito blessed us with these shitters from the opening sequence of Outer Worlds 2: “This is in the Horizon Point Station (part of the Global Protectorate base).” It’s nice that someone was trying to clean this first one, equipped with a submarine door with art nouveau gingerbread detailing to let the stink out. His gaze sees all! The second image is so eerily reminiscent of Faldar’s Tooth that it really makes you stop and think about the perennial nature of shitters.

There are propaganda posters above every Place To Pee, as seen in this filthy bank, which may at first seem dystopian until you realize you can just tune them out or play a game of how many hidden dicks are in each image. But what you can’t tune out is the nagging question. Why are there so many urinals in this place? Would 10 men at any given point really need to pee here at the same time? Was that urinal carousel originally intended to be sinks? And if you get 4 people to pee there at the same time, does it open a Chamber of Secrets in the vacuum of space?

Name Pending Saloon shitter!

From bucket brigadier Swolito, this Outer Worlds 2 shitter is coming to us from the Name Pending Saloon where Sanitizer Magnus misses a spot on the important parts, the back of the lid and the tiles around the throne base. And the tiles on the wall behind the shitter. I think he’s doing his best, considering whatever celestial body this is has a different gravity density and oxygen saturation than the one Sanitizer Magnus’ origin species evolved to thrive on. THAT WOULD BE US. HUMANS. A couple of years ago, a study came out that basically showed if humans did leave Earth, and colonize Mars, the duration of daylight is different enough from Earth that it would induce senility in a matter of days. But hey, let’s keep the dream alive that we actually could go land someplace else and just pick up where we left off like it’s no big deal. Otherwise, we trashed this Eden for nothing.

Batgirl’s feverdream shitter!

Macaulay Culkin, Sanitation Diplomat

Odd Couple shitter!

From bucket brigadier Rockin’ T! This shitter comes to us from the game Post Trauma: “It’s about a train conductor who ends up in this grimy, apocalyptic train station filled with weird creatures, fleshy hallways, and mannequins. I suspect it’s some kind of metaphor for something, but I haven’t finished the game yet.” Here are two shitters who get along well enough in spite of their dramatically different walks of life! This shit is Janitorcore! Perfectly rusty, dusty, musty, crusty Custodian John Bowl, armed with his anti-ghost spray and red plunger. Four foot high urinal only giants can use. There’s a second shitter “in a flashback sequence set in a police station.” Lieutenant Wilson at your service here in solitary confinement! In the center of that steel heart is a blue core which is either Tidy Bowl or his sense of duty. Sink on the back because he’s ready for anything. Dry TP because in spite of the three feet of water this remains a sanctuary. This shitter is just in time to wish you all a Happy Halloween, Bucket Brigade!
