i read the first version the day it went up and i actually didn't notice any major changes with the stuff i dislike. huh!
what are some other good foundation tales? i prefer recs to just digging around myself, some of them aren't that well written...
Are we talking specifically on the foundation or the genre of "Foundation tales", because the Are We Cool Yet "The Cool War" series has always been one of my favorites.
what the FUCK did i just read i don't understand also "I've survived too long. I forgot what universe this was. For a while there, I thought, maybe… this was the universe where we win sometimes." is really.....very distressing i liked her
http://www.scp-wiki.net/top-rated-tales is a good place to start, if you haven't read all those already Some favorites: Da Capo al Fine Document Recovered From the Marianas Trench Spark of Creativity and just cause Bees
My favorite part of that one is the ending. Spoiler "Conclusion: To date, this remains the most accurate account of Incident ████-5, despite its inconsistencies." What were the other accounts like?
SAME like alright, sure, that was an appropriate way to end a circuitous headfuck of a story about unknowable things, but dammit I want to hear what happens next!!! best foundation lore I've read, hands down.
The effort I used to give, if in vain was outvalued and then outweighed by pain and by lack of action, or thoughts ingrained my sense of self was exhausted and drained and I do recall the day my heart died and I do recall that one time they tried to reinvigorate and humanize and despite their efforts to compromise, I am just a cog in the machine. this article is good.
can somebody tell me what the image at the bottom of scp-001 is because I am actually a huge wuss and don't want to just scroll down to like gore art or something
Can confirm. Vaguely metallic-tentacular abstract. I find it sort of creepy, but it's nothing shocking.
@devils-avocado it's a computer-generated fractal, nothing scary, unless you get headaches from very complex images i guess. it's probably meant to play off an old creepypasta, The Parrot: (it's fictional) which in turn is based off David Langford's short story BLIT The idea of fractal images as antimemetic kill agents appears in a few other places on the site
oh man! i first encountered this in what must have been a sequel. it was a bunch of schoolkids who formed a club to masochistically peek at the forbidden images, and gradually formed a tolerance to them. it was very cool.
Yeah! The name of that story was Different Kinds of Darkness. There's a third in the series: comp.basilisk FAQ
