      Well, he said he's "never seen a man die in 20 years." That's a little different from only seeing a corpse.
      I've seen dead bodies before as well but I've never seen anyone die in person.
      But still, it's weird he's never seen anyone die as a Foundation employee. 😅

The infinite IKEA is like a hilariously dark version of a Vast portal... only you don't escape, no matter how much of an anchor you have.
      Magnus Archives is definitely a lot more light-hearted in the sense that they don't vividly describe a lot of the horrors, and very rarely do they actually mention people dying. It's very "show don't tell" horror, whereas SCPs are horrific _because_ of the level of detail they go into.

    Absolutely astounding voice acting and sound effect composition. I will say, it is surprising that there wouldn't be enough supplies going around unless that was by design by the anomaly. The amount of food, water, and fuel transported by truck on such a wide freeway would presumably result in more than enough supplies to go around if traffic distribution was the same as in ordinary freeway traffic. Helps add to the spookiness of it as it made it seem like there was an extranormal lack of life supporting supplies being transported in the anomaly.

    This story could serve as an existentialist allegory for life in modern society, especially at the bottom; scraping by with limited/unsure resources, one bad event away from disaster, don’t know if there’s an end or a point, building anxiety.

    Didn't realize you used Midjourney for this one; thought it was your own render work, was wondering why the faces came out so good, ha! They're really good for generating horrific/eldritch themes, disturbingly so. Hope you keep at your own render work, but I can see how this'd help you do larger scale stuff faster. Just don't trust that AI, you've read enough SCP stuff to know better than that! o_o

    Your voice acting is getting seriously good, at times I forget that it's a youtube scp-video I was listening too and it felt like a radio theatre or the audio of a movie with professional actors. There are many ways a youtuber can excel in creating their videos, but doing solid voice acting is surprisingly rare, probably because it's so difficult. Well done!

    This might have been the best video I've listened to in weeks. Absolutely top tier narration. And the way I was rooting for the guy so much, where the author intentionally was vague about his fate right up until the end? Amazing. Plus lots of metaphors and deep meaning, which is cool.

    The "twist" that Battaglia's surprise for Shaun was a baby sister and that his wife had been cheating on him makes this all the more gut wrenching.
    I'd made my peace with the idea he was never escaping so early on in the document, but the author managed to deliver an emotional gut punch so much more vicious than anything I could have anticipated. Bravo

    I know i'm late but this is hell, or some sort of purgatory. Driven by sin, anger, and such, all these people are just here. This anomaly leads you into thinking you are out but aren't, so it keeps leading you into deep layers. That massive "man-made" tunnel at the end is definitely some sort of tease or taunting method for the people who see it. Basically, whatever's causing this, is toying with these people. I actually felt dread at the end, it made me feel genuinely sad.
