  • 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.
  • @AndrewPong
    It’s the LOTUS/RAIDFRAME-VIII (SCP-6488) guy again!
  • @Rex10111
    Soon as I heard the name "Hishakaku" I audibly went "oh no not this guy again"
  • @ViirinSoftworks
    I think as I fall asleep, I'm going to dream of you saying "88 88" a million times in a row.
  • 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.
  • @oksure9261
    Few can say that they've allowed a Overseer's parent to be stolen. And by few, I just mean Hishakaku.
  • @svahn1
    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.
  • @Gromper7878
    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!

    Scp 31415 is a circular pie where the circumference has no relation to the radius
  • @Astadyl
    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)
  • @diogene_s8032
    This was probably one of my favourites of the 8kon. It's incredibly fun.
  • @drsaddomia
    I'd be a funny twist if the prediction engine, was the one that orchestrated it's own theft.
  • @GTvsForza
    It just blows my mind that we are close to 10k SCPs!
  • @Jfundersol
    Was up playing Ghosts of Tsushima, looked over, saw the clock. It's time for SCP's.
  • @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.
  • @titusmills8170
    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
  • @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
