the opening setup is alright but then it just does nothing with it. I was hoping for, like, instead of just an integer overflow, it's some flaw in the cosmic sin-calculating algorithm that only triggers in increasingly convoluted situations. a race condition involving the conversion of values of avarice to their temperature coefficients, I dunno. the foundation debugging the divine software has legs, just "turns out if you're evil enough it rolls over" doesn't go anywhere

Full reworks are often better, but previously good ones where someone (including the original author) comes back and adds a little bit on are usually worse

The idea of a Sin Konami Code that wipes your sin count is a funny idea and a great idea for a viral tweet but when expanded into that particular SCP entry it just goes awry real quick.

I just don't like how it suggests that Christianity is apparently real and exactly how modern organised religion describes down to every tiny thing being sinful. Like Christianity is a religion that has been twisted out of shape for nearly 2000 years. And it's exactly right. Every dickhead fundie? Yeah they were right. You could argue that its a kind of consensus reality bending thing where the belief has made it real but there is no such backstory here so it kind of just wants you to take it as face value.

Sitting in my car, bored, as my wife is grocery shopping, and I'm starting with the baby.

There should be a SCP where there's someone waiting in a car to pick someone up, but the passenger can't find the car. No matter what the either does, they can't find each other. They send pictures of their locations to each other, but even if they go there, the passenger or the car / driver can't be seen.

Maybe even get a team that also experiences the phenomenon. It lasts until the parties return home or try to see each other again.

I didn't know they started using "skip" in universe until I read a couple ones I hadn't before last night (wanna say it was the one with the cave that leads to an alternate Earth where everything died at once). I'd never said or thought "SCPs" as a word (always S C Ps) so it was weird enough seeing it in discussion of the site.

I agree with this, yeah. A lot of the time the logs are just like "Everything here is spooky and everyone we send in dies and there's something super dangerous lurking in here" and that's it. This time they're like "well, if we're going to do this, let's send in Team Motherfucker" because of COURSE there need to be times where you can actually get poo poo done.

If every single exploration is like "we sent in our best men and they were all hideously murdered in the span of an hour" then it doesn't sound like the places are scary, it sounds like your teams are loving incompetent.

I really dug the premise of the infinite Ikea store but found the staff aspect silly. Think it would've been great if it was just the store.

It's a good initial idea followed by a neverending mountain of references. And why do they keep sending people into the grinder to die??? It makes no sense when reading it, like the descriptions make it very obvious to the reader how these dudes keep getting hosed up, but they just keep sending people in unprepared and underequipped.

It's more like what would happen if the site appeared outside some random medium-sized city and the local authorities kept sending in units of the goddamned Minneapolis Police Department or something.

It's very easy for temporal loop SCPs to end up either trite or incomprehensible. Nice to see one that does something fairly new and in an extremely efficient and digestible way.

It's a small crinkle of additional dimension to the usual timeflow issues, and it does something fun with it that I like. Time stuff needs to be allowed more small complexities and changes like that to introduce something more interesting than just hopping timelines.

Black August
Sep 28, 2003

Random idea it gave me: set areas used for controlled stoppages of timespace that has a unique 'pileup' effect, where a set point in the future is stopped or slowed down to a near-infinite amount. There's a conservation of time-mass call it, and it acts like a car pileup, in that the set point is stopped, but it takes time for all the timeline behind it to slow down and 'crash' into the stopped moment.

What this does is send the future back to the past, in a pileup of chunks and points in time intersecting and crashing into a determined or random point in time before the stop point. So you have a cube the size of a small safe. You set the point ahead to 2100, and the pileup point to the second you set it. Everything in that safe's area, from 2100 to your present now, gets piled up and crashed through. Small areas are good because this is a violent and devastating thing to do. The safe fills with stuff from 2030 first, a chunk smashing through, with whatever is in that same relative space in 2030. Then it does it again, with stuff from 2047. Then 2055. Then 2057. Then 2062. Then 2088. Then 2090. Then 2100. Maybe it piles up twice, maybe it does two hundred times. This might take a day, or much longer depending.

You're left with whatever pulverized or intact matter managed to survive, with 2100 being the most intact as the one displacing everything before it. The trauma is that you're creating micro-moments of time disruption, which makes this best used for remote mineral sampling. And you need to be careful what you might accidentally intersect through time and bring back in the pileup.

That reminds me of an SCP, but now that I am looking for it, I cannot find it. If it still exists, perhaps someone can dig it up. I believe it was an area within which objects are time dilated. Several figures are visible within the area, and one is running toward the perimeter as fast as they can. The problem is that if they exit the anomaly, their momentum will carry over even as their time goes back to normal and they will instantly accelerate to near the speed of light, causing a world-ending disaster. Does anyone know the SCP I'm talking about?
