  1. I know it’s not on brand with the channel, and I’m not asking for a reading or a video on it, but I am recommending to you a horror story called the nope game. It’s a very interesting piece of body horror and I think you would appreciate it. The premise of it is very SCP like.

  2. I REALLY miss the good old days where SCPs were just cute little short concepts like a statue breaking your neck when you looked away. Essentially anomalous items which you could put into a box and lock it away safely. Now we've arrived at overly complicated abstract nonsense across multiple dimensions and timelines which also involves 27 different protagonist characters – which requires 3 hours worth of explaining. I'm not feeling that.

  3. could you do short SCPs again..? i know the later half of the series, they get kinda bad, that's pretty much what happened with the internet as it gained in popularity, and that's pretty much what happens with anything that the public feels has become accessible to them (and it just snowballs as it gets progressively worse, as it feels progressively more accessible to them), btw, but i digress…

    i also understand you might want to "progress" in your retelling SCPs, or maybe you've become so good at them that reviewing short SCPs feels boring to you, but those long, drawn-out stories, and dramas are pretty boring to me… it's not in the spirit of the SCPs, they're supposed to be pretty short articles, and sure, some might be books, and some file might get bigger over time with more time in containment, more tests, and whatnot, but also SCPs are supposed to be about SCPs, not about office drama, and you have to keep in mind the Secure Contain Protect mission of the Foundation, all those stories only open the door, and keep the door open to potential scenarios, instead of just sealing them, and keeping money, and manpower for containment, and other things the Foundation has to do on a daily basis…

    it's just not in the spirit of the whole thing, the progression is supposed to be in the total number of SCP objects, not length, hard to read, or up-onemanship of author vs authors, if they want to write books on SCPs they can, it's open source, they just don't do what's right, they don't write their long stories somewhere appropriate, they're losers, and so are their stories…

    i rather know about a few SCPs in half an hour, hear more about known SCPs, and stuff like that, i don't really watch, or listen to your videos anymore, and i miss when it was different…

  4. I love your videos. I use them while I drive at work. I really wish you were on Spotify like the rest of the SCP readers because you’re one that I can listen to without having to pay a fee.
