An HFY Story : The Roar | RE021

[@MrGoesBoom]

So this super advanced species still has the concept of "Hey don't worry about school, the sport is more important so go be awesome at that!" even though he was originally there for the healing and schooling. Figures.

Some things never change

[@RiversJ]

If anything I'd expect that to be heightened in application for a highly advanced society where specialization would likely result even more marginal advantages.

[@Liethen]

When so much is automated how valuable is an education when the computer does all the work

[@RiversJ]

@@Liethen Extremely so, it creates a two tier system rather, either you don't need almost any education beoynd basics, or you need an extreme amount of knowledge. I would be mindful of conflating education and knowledge/reason however, that is Highly dependent on the institution culture et cetera if it's worth almost anything or not vs self-learned / on the job learned skills. The actual skill level is what matters if you need your work to actually produce results, not the paper one.

[@RiverRun-n6g]

Lol right

[@MarijnvdSterre]

I never been professional or anything, but I did reach a decent level as a keeper in handball. And winning over a crowd of a couple of hundred people and have them cheering for you is an absolute high. It can help you for sure.

[@Ryu_D]

Win or lose, that play will go down in their history forever. Thank you for the video.

[@Tiewaz]

Hah! Never underestimate the determination of a human. Especially one that knows his limbs could just be replaced. There are humans who will go that hard WITHOUT the benefit of potential replacements. Imagine how their games would change if they started bringing in humans to replace their own people for the games. Just let Victor tell them how he succeeded and there'd be all sorts of humans volunteering for limb replacements. Then the games would get downright wicked.

For the writer, for the voice and for the algorithm.

CLICKETY CLICK!!! WITH ENERGY!!! Loving it!

Great story; Excellent narration! "Sports" as a universal constant! LOL!!!

[@mackenziedrake]

That's excellent. I'd like to know what happened after, but this is perfect. Thank you!

[@MidnightSmoke]

Great story. Here is a like and comment for the story, for entertaining me, to help your channel grow, to appease the great and powerful KZbin algorithm demon, and get you the recognition you deserve.

[@noppornwongrassamee8941]

Hmm... so Victor's winning strategy is to just bulldoze ahead and reach his objective ASAP while the opposing team dithers with concocting elaborate strategies that won't be implemented before Victor gets past them. This last team wised up and laid a trap for a one armed player, but they didn't study Victor's strategy enough or else they would have realized that the pissed off guard dog would mean Victor had the gispet. or whatever it's called.

[@widdershins5383]

Rush strategy, it’s how you play mindless brutes lol

[@truekurayami]

@@widdershins5383 it's also one of the best counters to mindless brutes

[@larsharris]

@@truekurayami as Kirk did against Spock. He plowed in, loosing pieces to foil Spock’s carefully laid traps. I tried similar against chess players. “But you are not playing right? You are sacrificing a bishop you would not have to?” But I rarely lost first two games with each kid. I seldom won either.

It is a fundamental principle of decision making in any time sensitive situation. The idea is to get inside your opponents "decision loop" AKA OODA loop. (Observe Orient Decide Act). If you are forcing someone to react to your actions it means they cannot do whatever it was they were planning even if what they were planning an objectively better move. This is a big part of military thinking and planning. (And where I became familiar with the concept). Colin Powell (Former Chairman of the JCS) referred to this as his 70% threshold. He would gather information until he was 70% sure that he was making the right choice and then he would go for it. A large part of military testing values the ability to make a good decision quickly more than making a great decision later. By the time later comes the entire picture may have changed. They called this being overtaken by events. You know how they say no plan survives first contact with the enemy? This is why. If these guys are a naturally cautious people who like to carefully plan things out it is very possible that his "Damn the torpedoes" approach pulls them so far out of their game that their superior plans simply do not have time to come to fruition. Our hero was probably not thinking of it in those terms but he has an instinctive understanding of it and executes it well.

[@Snipergoat1]

@@larsharris Chess strategy is related but not the same. In chess fast moves push them with a clock. The person cannot take the time needed to form the superior tactic with a clock constantly ticking. The main difference is that in a chess game you always have the same number of moves. In live situations you effectively get "free" moves by taking the initiative and forcing them to constantly react. Of course in life as well as chess you run the risk of blundering into a bad move but that is just the risk you take when playing the blitz game.

[@pduren2001]

Really liked this one!

The game is life, winning is all Victor is a fanatic.

Thank you for the reading

Why wouldn't humanity be obsessed about their only representative to an advanced galactic isolationist civilization? They would demand a subscription to these games broadcasts at the very least.

[@toraxmalu]

good narrated as always :D

[@nachtwaya8721]

Excellent story!

[@feldamar2]

I'm kinda surprised he didn't choose "Space Jam" for his song instead of the bell. I mean. If you want to rev up a crowd...It's kinda hard to beat.

[@roberine7241]

still that part of the story goes hard with hells bells actually in the background

[@hdcandela5697]

Please, please, please, please, would you re-do to story about the human who brings his axe-guitar and amp to stop an alien boarding party.

Heh, still one of the more memorable stories out there imo. :p
