Hello everyone!

Thank you for your continued support. The introduction of SCP 22415 was crazy, and feedback has been amazing so far. We know there have been teething issues around the new dimensions and SCPs, but we are grateful for your feedback and will be making changes based on this. Thank you to @'Blue' for putting this month's news together!
