So it appears that wikimedia commons is under maintenance atm so the background image doesn't load. Great timing, I know. It is back up and Hexick helped me with the theme so it went through.

Thanks to: Quadraginta, MalyceGraves, Vivarium, Doctor Fullham, R4_EX, Sybert6000, Hexick, meisteroni, RogerWiki, Limeyy, Alongname and possibly everyone else I forgot.

Edit: for all mobile users; the background on top of the page works as intended on PC, on mobile it is a bit weird

Edit: +100 Absolutely stellar.

This was definitely a fun read, and I will admit I was hesitant to upvote until I reached the last log. Good work!

That was beautiful.

My biggest problem with this is that most of the narrative-relevant information in this only appears in the conversation in the last offset. I think this is in large part due to the 1st offset, which doesn't add too much to what readers already know from the initial page. I'd get rid of the initial page and start on the 1st offset.

I'm a bit conflicted on bit about the invention of zepplins. While it is sort of interesting, it's completely disconnected from the rest of the article.

Fun and interesting read. Really liked the mental image of a massive ship floating through space collecting dying stars piloted by a cosmic-void-being named Glen. The wrap up with the reveal that Glen has been the one to reset the universe was also fun and thought provoking. This definitely earns an upvote. Also, "Star Euthanizer" is such a cool name!

Have you played Outer Wilds, perchance? If not, this piece indicates you would love it.

Sirslash47 05 Jan 2021 15:18

I have not but I have heard of it. I'll check it out sometime soon.

Edit: I have seen a playthrough of it once but never finished it. I now did and god was I glad you recommended this to me.

Beautiful Glen

This is honestly beautiful. And I love that he has learned quite a bit over his eons as what he's done, and that he's always given the same name. Utterly fantastic read.

That is some high praise, thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The additional iterations here only made the article drag, and I can't say I was a big fan of the background image. The only impact the dialogue had was the absurdity of this extremely powerful cosmic being getting called Glen, and this (while kinda funny), didn't feel especially unique and reduced the effectivity of everything else.

SCP-5623-1 serves a purpose a lot like MultiVac in The Last Question by Isaac Asimov (in terms of its ultimate goal rather than its methods to achieve it).
I always love a good space skip, and I don’t really have any issues with it. +1

I just read that short story and I absolutely loved it. Thank you very much.
