 Ahoy hoy and welcome to the video. This is actually take two. I did the whole video and then lost it because I'm still getting used to the new setup. Remember how I had to take like a little bit of a time off because of doing the dank memes because my camera wasn't working as a webcam anymore? So now it's working. I mean, it works still as a camera. I recorded the memory card and then I took the memory card and the new memory card reader I got, right? Well, okay. That's cool. But before I hit the record stop record button, then the file is corrupted, which I'm not used to. So I got used to that. I lost the whole, I lost the whole 18 minute long recording of me reacting to some memes. It was great. Good times. Okay. Oh. Hi, I'm Dr. Samarian, not a real doctor. And today I'm going to unfortunately react a second time to it's good though. You know, it's fine. I made some mistakes in the first one and it was probably too long. Me with an average page rating of plus 234. Dr. Samarian with an average rating of 134. But one page versus I say, I don't think, I don't, it's difficult for me to care about either average rating or total rating because rating is so divorced from quality. Now you might be like, what? That's the only thing that determines quality on the SCP wiki. But rating, okay. So not hitting negative 10 is not very difficult. There's a very minimum level of quality you got to get to. And once you do, it's really kind of luck and to some degree the quality of your work, but also luck on as to whether or not that article is going to go sky high or just stay in the 20s to 100 somewhere between 20 and 100. So yeah, I don't really see much of a point to rating numbers. Although it is, it is nice to know that of a, I mean, out of 121 pages that I have an average rating 134. That does mean something that tells me something about myself as an author. I'm not sure exactly what that is. But I think 121 pages is more tells me more about a person as an author is the number of articles that they have up because that's the one thing that you have absolute control over. I shouldn't say absolute control. You could get your stuff deleted off of the wiki by not posting something of quality, but assuming you can hit the minimum quality level, that's the one thing that you can do that nobody else can stop you from doing. Well, I'm going to caveat that again. I always say things and then immediately be like, well, but unless they ban you, of course, but it's the thing that separates us from each other. One article is great. I'm aiming for infinity articles. Also, this is a shoulder meme. I should be clear. Next time around, I completely forgot to credit each of the meme creators in the meme. So at the end of it, I had to do a little cleanup. This one's by Dysorsi Jackson 447. Nobody seals when they see Carl. Whack! So when this happened, I didn't watch the Oscars, but I saw it come up on Twitter. I think it was what just happened and then like a couple other possible meme or possible trending hashtags. But the important part was I saw this image, not with the seal or the black box, I saw the image and was like, that's a meme. And so I created a meme and put it on Twitter. And then the next day I posted it to the dank meme subreddit. I think it got over 100 upvotes, but it didn't get a ton of traction. But of course, I was watching and I was like, this is going to be a meme template. It's too perfect. It's somebody slapping somebody else in freeze frame motion. But yeah, seals when they see Carl. It fits. It's great. I like it. This one's by fanboyx27106 after sucking you into it. So I still don't know for sure. But I saw this the first time around and was like, what is he holding in his right hand? So it's this one, right? Yeah. What is he holding? Is it this? I have. But it looks like he's holding it like kind of. I say he, that's me, but it looks like he's holding it kind of like that. Oh, and also I figured out at the very end, are you calling me old? I'll have you know if I get rid of this beard. I lose like 10 years off of my off of my age. It's fine. I'm not old. I'm old. I feel is this supposed to be. OK, good. We can get back. Yeah, this is another one that I got really into. It's funny that now I'm like, oh, here's what I did last time that you're completely missing. Is this supposed to be funny? It's just a picture of a cat. There's no effort put into this article. Why are you up voting this? S.E.P.P.L. Cot dash J cat. OK. I said it before. I'll say it again. I've said it a lot of times. The S.E.P. Wickey authors, not in general necessarily. This one's by Hold on. This meme is by Optimistic Lucio. S.E.P. Authors absolutely 100 percent need to get over themselves. Not all of them. Some of them are. I mean, obviously, I mean, look right here, there's people literally. And I'm not saying that downvoting the cat is is bad. If you don't, if you don't, you're not feeling the joke. You're not feeling it in general. Downvote it. That's fine. But getting angry about it, getting snooty about it. That's the part that I don't get. And I have certain I don't want to be. I don't want to be a hypocrite here, but I've certainly I'm certain I've done this before on my own. Like you just get caught up in this idea that like something is something something makes you mad that shouldn't make you mad, right? Yes, he be wiki is a collaborative online fiction website, mostly flash fiction, some short stories. OK, the minimum level of quality is the minimum standard where articles survive is not great. It's OK. It's fine. OK, it's not amazing. It's not going to blow you away. Every art every not every article is going to blow you away. Everyone knows this, right? We all understand it intrinsically, and yet we look at this and go. We're supposed to be taking it seriously. Why aren't you taking it seriously? Because sometimes people just want to have fun. Did I have voted? No. Did I downvote it? No, I don't really care that much. I really I I shouldn't care so much that other people care so much. But here I am anyway. Fifth, seeing anything related to the number five or more accurately, fifth church seeing anything relating to the number five gives not to not to critique so much. I can get by. I can ignore relating. I'm pretty sure that's misspelled. Actually, not a hundred percent sure that's misspelled. So, you know, that's on me. But number five is definitely not correct. Look, the fifth is church, you know, is a added to a long list of things that got significantly less interesting once they were explained. You've got what, the fifth church, the little misters, pattern screamers, any time anyone tries to give you like a definitive one. Look, the thing about those of the last four things I listed and many other things on the SEP Wiki O55 and the good example, the thing about them that makes them interesting is the mystery. This isn't true of everything. You'll see some new, not newbies, but the series one fans, average series one fan enjoyer. You'll see some series one fans say stuff like, oh, you're going to have mystery. You've got to leave some details out to give the audience an opportunity to build the horror in their mind. No, you fucking don't have to do that on everything. But, but you for some constructions, for some stories and for some story elements, they work best that way. It's not everything, but some things. Yes, fifth church is a good example of that. There was a point when it was first written. Oh, God, I don't know. It was a point when it was first written that I don't know what that was. There was a point when the fifth church was first written that it was interesting, very, very, very interesting. I believe it was Star Signals was the very first article. And afterwards, more and more stuff, more and more people just loved Fifth this church so much that they just kept adding more and more and more to it. And it made it more interesting for a while, for sure. It made it it was good. It was well written stuff that really still left the general mystery to it. Then, at some point, it started to go downhill and it started being too explained and too well understood. And I'd say this to people. This is always true of people who read the old articles. It's like, if you understand it, it isn't the fifth the church, right? And this is true of lots of stuff. Anytime someone tries to explain pattern screamers, it's like you're ruining the thing that makes it work. Amnestics is another good example. Trying to make amnestics into a definitive thing. It kind of it subtracts rather than adds. People are subtracting through addition. They're adding negative numbers to the to the quality content they want to see more of. They're like, hey, let's take this thing and spoil it because I can't help because I can't become comfortable with silence. Just become comfortable with silence. Understand that sometimes it's good for you to not know. I know our brains are not wired to work that way. That's just but it is true. Although, if I didn't say it before, this one was written by a special writing eight, eight, nine, six. So I believe this is the last one. Yes, because I remember from last time. Yeah, anyway, thank you very much for watching. If you wait, I can't wait. Oh, wait, no, I zoomed out this time. Last time around, I was able to lean over here and I like kind of just kind of just just relax and do like a little thing here. But now I've zoomed in a little bit more. So it's like I'm a little bit out of frame. It's fine. Look, you may have noticed I didn't do a video yesterday. Part of that was that it just wasn't feeling it. I was feeling tired, worn out, and not because I get to a live stream on Monday, but honestly, that was not that bad. I've just been depressed a little bit since like fucking Saturday and not bad. It's not nothing I want to talk about to anyone. So for anyone who knows me on my Discord or whatever, don't, it's fine. Don't talk to me about it. I'll feel better if you don't offer to help. Let's put that way. That whole, okay, well, I'm here if you need me to listen. I'll feel better if you don't do that. But, because I just got to get through this on my own. That's the way I, it's very unhealthy probably, but it's the only way of coping that I know. But, I still got to make a video, right? So I make a video. And just yesterday, I just knew for sure, I wasn't going to be able to summon up the energy necessary to like be on, if that makes any sense, to put on the, put on the, you know, go from, I can't do the thing that I have seen other people do, but to put on the face and be, you know, happy for people, or at least energetic and kind of move, you know, care, to actually care. It's just to a buster up the ability to care. Yeah, so, I mean, like I just decided I was going to not skip, but move it to the day so that I could have a day to just play some video games and relax and kind of get my brain in the right place. And yeah, here we are. No, I did it again. There's no, I should have, I should have put this at the beginning of the video. That would have made more sense. It's too late now, because now I've got to tell you to do the calls to action.
