{"body":"11:28 AM <~barredowl> as a preliminary question, what are your first impressions?\r\n11:28 AM <~barredowl> i, for one, really liked the presentation of this; i was attached pretty much the whole way through. i didn't quite get the team bird connection but then again i'm not too familiar with team bird\r\n11:29 AM <+cybersqyd> The team bird connection is just the presence of MTF Eta-4 (\"Begone Thoth\"), I believe\r\n11:29 AM <~barredowl> yeah\r\n11:29 AM I liked this one and how the story/narrative went\r\n11:29 AM <~barredowl> hmm\r\n11:30 AM <+cybersqyd> I like it in general but it feels...overly long?\r\n11:30 AM <~barredowl> yeah i did like the narrative presented here\r\n11:30 AM <+cybersqyd> The first iteration of the five files feels like a notable weak point; even if the ending is really strong\r\n11:31 AM <~barredowl> yeah; in retrospect compared to everything else a lot of the first iteration feels a bit on the weaker end\r\n11:31 AM To get rid of the obvious, I loved the bottom five texts due to it telling two sides of the same but I would not have known that they are a different side had cyber not said that there is more to it\r\n11:31 AM <~barredowl> don't really push the story forward in the same way, i guess?\r\n11:31 AM <+cybersqyd> yeah\r\n11:32 AM <+cybersqyd> I believe the blue text that flashes up in the final log is meant to indicate there's another iteration?\r\n11:32 AM <+cybersqyd> but it's too subtle\r\n11:32 AM <+cybersqyd> (I only realised when I was poking through the comments)\r\n11:32 AM <~barredowl> what flashing text in the last log?\r\n11:33 AM I did get a chuckle out of the tests with the D-Class. Also cybersqyd I thought I was going crazy and needed more sleep cause I tabbed out to check here, went back to it and then letters were flashing in blue\r\n11:33 AM <~barredowl> oh fuck\r\n11:34 AM <~barredowl> so that wasn't just my eyes just being shitty\r\n11:34 AM <~barredowl> well hmm, so\r\n11:34 AM <~barredowl> anything else we want to say here?\r\n11:34 AM I thought my eyes were like \"you saw blue screen here (my irccloud is blue) so you must see blue here!\"\r\n11:35 AM <+cybersqyd> I don't really have much to say he\r\n11:35 AM <+cybersqyd> it's,,,a reluctant upvote, I think\r\n11:36 AM Also I do like Eric and Maxwellism being used here. With the Maxwellist practically winning right up to the end and achiving essentially apotheosis\r\n11:36 AM <~barredowl> i think i'm gonna go with a low-to-medium upvote. i don't really have a lot to say, either\r\n11:36 AM Its an upvote from me :D\r\n11:36 AM <~barredowl> and yeah, the eric-maxwellism angle was like, something you think wouldn't work but here it does\r\n11:36 AM <+cybersqyd> yeah I liked that\r\n11:36 AM <+cybersqyd> I feel...like perhaps this wasn't the best medium to tell that kind of story but *shrugs*\r\n11:36 AM <~barredowl> i suppose\r\n11:37 AM <~barredowl> yeah; guess we can't continue the discussion as far, since there aren't a lot of people actively participating\r\n11:37 AM Like I wouldn't have expected to see a Maxwell going beyond flesh to the internet in an article about bike helmets\r\n11:37 AM oh :(\r\n11:37 AM <+cybersqyd> yeah\r\n","name":"SCP-4688","extension":"txt","url":"https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/lN3XrjQT/SCP-4688","modified":1592680769,"id":"lN3XrjQT","size":3215,"lines":36,"own_paste":false,"theme":"","date":1592680769}
