A HFY Story : Git Gud | 2165 ~Deathworld, War, Terran and Humans

[@davidvincent5701]

I like this culture. They have Senate meeting's at a spa.

[@DubiousFIN]

Just dont kinda like it that they are scheming to find every one of our weaknesses

[@sbritton1313]

Water hole, they are like elephants

[@truekurayami]

@@DubiousFIN that's basic politics, at least these guys are very risk adverse to bloodshed and smart enough to see co-existence/alliances are better then war.

[@AlexSDU]

Not just any spa, but a co-ed spa at that! Lucky xeno bastards.🤣

[@urstaxfetish1206]

It just Space Athens.

[@Heidao623]

Galactic Community: So our idea of resolving wars and conflict are by games, similarly to that ancient "anime" we found in your archives, "No Game No Life" Humanity: Then we declare war

[@LongRest]

This is one of the best "Humans Are Space Orks"-like stories that I heard of. It has fun premise, it uses original species and encorporates it's biology in their culture and language. Oh, and also humans are good not because we are superior in everything like in many stories but because of the strange quirk in our psychology. And you did a great narration!

[@markfergerson2145]

The fact that Game Master was not a one-word title made me think he was master of hunting game animals (as in, considered other sapients fair game to hunt). What a relief.

[@kain7759]

We play so much becouse as soon as we stop we start aging. Playing games is the secret to immortality xD

[@KroMagnum4]

63 and still rolling!😎

[@smaragdwolf1]

as soon we stop playing, we become serious... and a serious human gets annoyed pretty much XD annoyed humans tend to be aggressive and these tend to start Conflicts. For the sake of the Galaxy... let us play games^^

So very good! Entertaining and unique aliens. Literally "playing" to our strengths 😊

[@bobsterclause342]

I just can't I love bagpipes I like the species allot. I love anoying noises too. Yeah, make people listen to an hour of them and they get a headache. Backpipe comute hour. No more road rage. Just put volume to max and roll the windows down. If everyone does it, only the strong don't have a headach for four hours afterwards.

[@SymbioteMullet]

I used to play in a samba band many years ago. You haven't lived till you've heard two highland pipes at full blast with a 30 piece drumline inside a small pub with terrible acoustics. Pretty sure i got permanent hearing damage from that gig. Totally awesome. Samba style works really well with bagpipes as it turns out.

[@truekurayami]

@@SymbioteMullet forget the drumline dualing pipes at a pub is already an experience you will never forget.

[@markfergerson2145]

For a while years ago in Phoenix Arizona low riders played very loud bass beats through custom amps and speakers at intersections while waiting for lights to change, turning up the volume (competitively). I got tired of feeling my guts vibrate so I got a relatively cheap kilowatt amp and speakers. I mounted the speakers under my truck and played bagpipe music through them when the thumping started. After a month or so my truck was so well recognized that nobody would start the thumping near me lest I loose the lovely skirling of the pipes upon them.

[@SymbioteMullet]

@@markfergerson2145 you're doing the laird's work!

[@darwinskeeper421]

That was REALLY gud, the narration was at its usual level of excellence and the premise of the story, an intersteller group of civilizations that have used gaming as a proxy for war is fascinating. The author and narrator both deserve cudos.

[@andythepanhead]

Wait till they discover speed runners

[@Blutwind]

I wonder if they (together with cheaters) are considred war criminals by the galactic community xD

[@smaragdwolf1]

@@Blutwind but could they handle them? I mean, these Types are fast and smart. They could probably dismantle the galactic community before they could even react properly.

I love the story and I love listening to you reading it for us 🙂

Emotional Damage

[@Exile_Sky]

Human Ambassador A: "So, how do you all settle disputes?" Aliens: Doing their equivalent of a cold sweat. "Through negotiation and barter. Few things don't have a price. So long as your pockets are deep enough." Human Ambassador B: "I told you trade consortiums are just a galactic standard."

[@norsehawk]

I shudder thinking of the gamemaster popping up some youtube videos of some pro-league highlight videos from tournaments... CS:GO headshot compilations, league pro matches, cod tourneys, etc They might need to really clean the wading pool a lot after that.

[@widdershins5383]

Git gud. Not just a pass off excuse and lame reason. It’s an entire life concept lol

[@mattbrown5511]

Wait until the aliens learn about trash talking. Intergalactic warfare is assured.

[@CoolDude-kc4he]

They’re on that no game no life grind

[@maelglorious]

I too thought the story was inspired by No Game No Life.

[@lungu.v]

Several years later the Senate became locked over the lack of human entertainment. Major wealth shift and commercial contracts were still hanging on the answer to the question dominating every senator's mind: "Is Consuela the evil sister of Isabela or not?". The Jeraptha society could do nothing at that point but hold its collective breath.

[@TheyCalledMeT]

imagine that at a multi galactic senate .. the most respected people in the galaxy .. "Git Gud!" xD

[@MercenaryX21]

If that 1 loved the bagpipe she will love the hurdy gurdy and especially if you play any of them with Amazing Grace.

[@RealArcalian]

Greetings, Mentlegent! For the Rhyhtm that is Algo A very amusing story....that built up to the punchline already given away by the title.

[@Kualinar]

Government meeting in a giant Spa. That's quite nice. Human's AI don't cause problems as they are treated as peoples, crew members, companions. That's quite shocking to those aliens. They replaced wasteful wars with games, and, apparently, the humans went the same direction. Then, they realize that average humans are more adept that gaming that their Best of the Best. Well... That CAN be terrifying.

[@darthragnarok1066]

[@armycowboy4313]

So should we warn them that even our actual military plays these same games. Or should we just let the stay scared of the normal gamers. 🤔

[@Bananabanana347]

Military also plays their own games, let alone what us common folk can afford without the budget. Have to wait till tech trickles down.

[@armycowboy4313]

@Bananabanana347 oh y they probably have stuff that probably make unreal engine 5 look like old tech.

[@satibel]

​@@armycowboy4313surprisingly graphical fidelity is crap on most military simulators. Because tbh, the hair flowing in the wind doesn't matter that much.

[@armycowboy4313]

@satibel true I think the tactical and training on the equipment is more important then the graphics but still believe the programs to help train the troops are still more advanced then what us civilians get to play with.

[@sierramike0913]

@@armycowboy4313 Play ARMA. Literally what was used to teach how to call in artillery (there are minor differences between the original engine designed for the military and what was made commercially available). Also used ARMA with a form of VR or AR (not sure which it would qualify as) using air rifles/MGs with laser tag gear, modified Humvees, and a modified HEMMT surrounded by projectors providing 360-degree view for convoy training/simulations.
