I love how Hishikaku has become the go-to guy to insert into a story when you need a really arrogant and obnoxious Foundation higher-up who promptly gets absolutely verbally wrecked by everyone around them.

[LiveByTheNumbers]

It took forever, but it hit me when you summed up the future predictions about halfway through.

I love how it’s not at all out of character for the SCP foundation to be running all their ideas by a magic 8 ball. Now my question is, what if it was just a normal magic 8 ball and the foundation gaslit itself into protecting this hunk of plastic out of confirmation bias.

I think as I fall asleep, I'm going to dream of you saying "88 88" a million times in a row.

Soon as I heard the name "Hishakaku" I audibly went "oh no not this guy again"

[Rhinlord]

The way you delivered "Which makes this turn of events quite unfortunate" had me rolling for some reason. Also any article where Hishikaku eats a crapload of humble pie is great in my book

[svahn]

6:42 the name "Hishakaku" made me audibly groan. I've read numerous articles with him involved by now and somehow he always manages to be a real piece of shit, no matter what happens in the story.

[AndrewPong]

It’s the LOTUS/RAIDFRAME-VIII (SCP-6488) guy again!

[oksure]

Few can say that they've allowed a Overseer's parent to be stolen. And by few, I just mean Hishakaku.

I love how as soon as you hear Hishikaku's name pop up, you INSTANTLY know this article is gonna be a ride and AI is another wonderful man made horror beyond our comprehension

[tontothetsar]

I listened to every single one of your eps on Spotify now I feel like oi have no idea what to do. I really love the none clinical way you read these articles. you put time into summarizing them and make them easy to follow. youre just not reading off of a page like most of the other people interested. if there is ANYONE that does it similar to you, please let me know. Ive enjoyed every one of your readings immensely. really helped my boring job go by ten times faster, and for that. i thank you kind sir!

This was probably one of my favourites of the 8kon. It's incredibly fun.

[KrawmKruach]

one of the best narrations of SCP media ever, never stop man you got a talent for voice work and a soothing voice for narration. that is why i will always come back to your channel.

[Gromper]

Ever since I played it, I keep noticing art from Control in your vids and I love it.

If anyone reading hasn't played it and they want a great SCP-inspired game, PLAY IT. You will not be disappointed!

As a nerd who loves ancient tech, I really like the reference to the Antikythera Mechanism at the end when talking about the device's history

For context, it is a clockwork mechanism created in ancient Greece found in the early 20th century stored in Athens' museum. Modern analyses using Xray to count the gear tooth reveal it was a complex device that could predict the movement of planets with impressive accuracy (there's a great bbc documentary about it that goes into further details, it is insane, they even accounted for the minute changes in the speed of the Moon around the Earth)

[Jfundersol]

Was up playing Ghosts of Tsushima, looked over, saw the clock. It's time for SCP's.

[drsaddomia]

I'd be a funny twist if the prediction engine, was the one that orchestrated it's own theft.

Scp 31415 is a circular pie where the circumference has no relation to the radius

I like how you're focusing on the newest series... I've been reading a couple, this one seems like it's gonna fun! Thanks, Explorer!

[genlandoplays]

I love the callback to "This Is Where I Died"... one of my all-time faves
