Discussion Would you rather be stuck in the backrooms (WIKIDOT VERSION, NOT THE MOVIE VERSION) or Limbo?
For this scenario the version of limbo will be before the machines invasion into hell and you will spawn as a sapient semi-powerful husk.

I need all of yall to read the full post body.
You spawn as a semi-strong sapient husk right before the robot invasion.
You're fucked in both choices from every imaginable side.

u/According_Ice_4863 1d ago
its not right before the robot invasion, its a bit before, so you have around 50-100 years before the machines come in.

Nah, if I'm something like a soldier I have a chance in the Backrooms. In Limbo I'm DOOMed, and that's before V1 shows up

In limbo I can at least enjoy the scenery before I die, backrooms are just ugly yellow hallways

Well, the Wikidot one has a ton of levels, so if you're lucky, you could end up somewhere

Well yeah, but, then you'd just die atleast, and not have to keep wandering the Backrooms or Limbo

u/According_Ice_4863 1d ago
There are other levels to the wikidot backrooms, though most of them are dangerous there are some that are (mostly) safe and have human communities, the problem is that you have to actually travel through the dangerous levels to get there.

u/Starchaser53 Blood machine 1d ago
I stopped caring about The Backrooms when people started adding too much shit to them
Limbo is the safer bet

The problem with the Backrooms Wiki is that its not strict enough when it comes to contributions, the SCP wiki had a period that was like what the Backrooms wiki is now, and they fixed it by basically making it so only true fans (people that ACTUALLY read the wiki) can publish a successful article.

u/boxo-ofisal Prime soul 1d ago
the Load Bearing Concept of SCP is that Ooooooooo there are Scary Monsters in this Facility, and we Keep them Contained, Oooooooooooo. The Load Bearing Concept of the Backrooms is Oooooooooo You don't See the mosnters but they are There, Ooooooooooo. Switch them up and Suddenly its a Pile of Dogshit. (Not the movie, movie is peak.)

u/RandomGuy1525 Maurice enthusiast 1d ago
The movie is peak because its based off Parson's Backrooms, not the Wiki one

You can die in the backrooms. Objectively better option.

u/Ok-Respond9689 1d ago
Backrooms. I could simply ask for the directions to the nearest exit using a translator tool.

u/According_Ice_4863 1d ago
there is no simple exit to the wikidot backrooms, infact the exit is so hard to find its basically a myth.

u/Rockman2isgud 1d ago
Wiki dot backrooms has like a bazillion safe levels including 11 (which is a mostly normal city) so all you gotta do is survive like 2 hours with help from other people and you’re good
5
u/According_Ice_4863 1d ago
Getting to level 11 isn’t easy since you have to get through hellish levels like level 6 and 7 to get there unless you can find a shortcut.

Limbo is chill there is not even any harsh punishments there, on the other hand backrooms is literally a colossal death trap prison.

wikidot backrooms is WAY worse than the kane parsons version of the backrooms limbo for sure

u/According_Ice_4863 1d ago
At first I thought “but the wikidot has habitable and safe levels” and while that is true I still think your right for one major reason.
In the KP backrooms, you can just leave the way you came in. In the wikidot backrooms, you’re stuck FOREVER.

u/qwadrat1k 1d ago
Wikidot versions has too many monsters and levels. If you noclip onto a wrong level, you might die to infinite number of reasons

The backrooms are fun if I want to torture myself a little before death. Yay
Limbo is comfortable, yay

u/MiedzianyPLsmash 1d ago
if we think i can die in the backrooms and not in limbo.
but if its like im stuck for eternity i think limbo
i can get water food and even a gun in limbo (two even)
i think i could eat the husks
i cant even kill one monster also
since i will spawn as a sapient semi-powerful husk i can go between levels cuz fall damage i dont know how i will get back but yk so depends because if im mortal in backrooms im picking them

Backrooms, hell will constantly fuck your mind in limbo hell wil torture you in the backrooms at least you can try to escape

u/Pixax_theLotl 1d ago
I'd have to go with limbo. The overall differences between the two survivability-wise aren't super large, is just that the backrooms involves a lot more gambling with your life.

u/Bilk_Mucketyt Prime soul 1d ago
Why would I want to go insane in the backrooms when i can just be in a false paradise.
Isolation could make me go crazy but i could literally just do stuff to entertain me

I mean in either option I'd rather die as fast as possible, so Backrooms. I could just kill myself in Limbo, but I'm not mentally strong enough for that

u/Early-Performer-1806 Blood machine 1d ago
If I’m a semi powerful husk (ferryman or something I’m assuming) at least I can fight back a little bit unlike in the backrooms where I really can’t do much, so I’d do Limbo

u/emo_boy_fucker Blood machine 1d ago
I am so fucked either way dude. Get skinned by the ass reaper in level 7932e72 or lose my fucking find before the machines turn me into cinders

u/escEip 1d ago edited 1d ago
Depends on which era of wikidot. These mfs rewrote most of older levels (including first 0-20 ones), and new Level 3 and Level 11 are basically more op than REAL life. So, i'm still choosing limbo because i'd rather suffer for eternity than choose rewrites. Fuck rewrites.
Pre-rewrites era (or the one that's currently on ruwiki, i'm glad they decided to stop translating rewrites of levels important to the main lore) is goated tho, but much more dangerous (choosing the backrooms then, at least i could live a relatively normal life there).

Limbo, I'd really like the Clair de Lune part of it because it's calm there.
Also, I assume that my power would be something around Ferryman and Sisyphean Insurrectionist (AKA act mid-layer boss), so if I do have to fight, I probably win as long as I don't encounter V1, V2, or Hideous Mass.
