Hah, I remember reading that one back before it was revised, when it was just "giant enigmatic blob of molasses." Well played.

My favourite, which I can't find again, was like three sentences about a dinosaur fossil with a bullet in it. Very neat and flas-fictionny.

I suppose they jettisonned it or bloated it with TLDR [REDACTED] rape stories.

This slightly bugs me.

quote:

and second, a psychic component which radiates outward from the subject (diminishing according to the inverse square law and reaching half strength at █ meters). Any sentient being within this field comes under the impression that SCP-247 is completely harmless, regardless of prior knowledge or experience. Individuals in this field also show extreme reluctance to harm or allow others to harm SCP-247, even while being actively harmed by the subject. This psychic field can be blocked with SCP-148, or avoided by striking from well outside its effective range.
It says the field "diminishes" according to the inverse square law and reaches "half strength," but the effect appears to be completely binary, either operating fully if you are "within the field" (which would technically be everywhere in the universe, if it obeys inverse square), or doing nothing (?) if you're not. There doesn't appear to be any measurable quantity which could be said to diminish, or to actually establish the rate at which it does so. Functionally, it's just a five meter radius (or whatever) area of effect.

Not really a big deal. Just a vague annoyance.

I remember one time on a Bad SCP From A Higher Up Everyone Upvoted, I made some random comment about this sort of thing after explaining why I didn't like it. Didn't really even think about it after doing it, since it was a footnote to the post. Three weeks later I loaded the site again and noticed someone had sent me a message asking me to respond to the comment I had made, because (as it turns out), a bunch of the other higher-ups were incensed that I said it.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

This is so bad. Normally I don't have a problem with the non-Euclidean properties of SCP's items, but this suffers from being too modern and too descriptive. Specifically, the fact that it's only a kilobyte is size, contains the numbers 1 to 66,666 as it's code. I'm no computer scientist, but I'm pretty sure that just those characters typed out would put it over 1 kb. Then there's the description of the game, which is also awful. It's a find the object game, so when it describes a hospital room with the object of finding money for your mom's life support, what actually happens? Is the game render its environments as a 3d area to walk around in, or is it a bunch of static images with drawers to open, keys to find, etc. And when they eventually find a door to the room in real life, does it have the same graphics? Why is it designed specifically for touch-screen devices? Why isn't it just an executable written in an unrecognized code?

I don't know why I'm so frustrated by it, but it's just such a mangled execution of a possibly good idea that I'm typing all these words and I can't stop!

SCP-1590 is a memetic virus disguised as a poorly written SCP entry.

Yes the problem with this story about the foundation sending an innocent girl to be raped forever is that it doesn't explain why the program is for touch-screen devices.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck I can't find it now but my absolute favorite joke SCP was basically a normal 5-year-old boy that the foundation had abducted from his parents. There were a handful of brief experimentation logs, that mostly ended with the kid crying and saying he wanted to go home. I can't find it now though :(

I don't see any difference between it and ages and ages of myths about eternal torment in hell for most of humanity.

Also Dr. Who just totally used the concept in the finale. It was just a scam, however.
