Best HFY Reddit Stories: Outsourced Warfare (r/HFY)

[@NetNarrator]

Alright, I've seen the comments and looks like I missed a spot. It was probably an error in editing and I'll see if I can redo it and fix it down the road. You guys can calm down now!

NO YOU SHALL FACE A DECADE-LONG WAR AGAINST YOUR SOVEREIGNITY FOR DARING TO DEFY THE PERFECT COMPOSITION OF THESE SCRIPTS WHICH YOU HAVE PROFANED WITH YOUR VILE INACCURACY yeah actually, you do miss or replace words and phrases periodicall, but this is a natural folley any reader is guilty of. I frequently have to pause and read, because I jump paragraphs ahead while reading when particularly engrossed in the tale. And you tend to pick the good ones. Of the few such voiceover channels (when will KZbin abandon that outdated title?) I've seen, gifted to me by the Almighty Algorithm you're my favorite so far for just getting to the fucking point. You read it aloud quickly enough to follow along, and don't bother with any bullshit before or after. Honestly, your purity is refreshing.

You cannot tell me there weren´t a few dwarves collecting naming ideas at the discussion table: "rockstoner corporation", "brown dwarf Navy", the planet of the shipyard being named Hoxxis. One similarity is happenstance, two are coincidence, three are dwarvish action Rock´n´Stone

9:53 Try dating back to the age of sail. My friends family have had a person in the navy since the war of 1812 that he can trace back. I talked to a english friend of mine who told me his great great grandfather fought at Trafalgar, he is now a Midshipman in the British royal navy.. poor mercs gave us a reason to fight someone other than ourselves.. God help them.

[@The_Viscount]

I met a guy, a German, his family had been military since the days of the Holy Roman Empire. Ritter, his surname, means knight, and even with the decline of the Nobility, his family had served in the various militaries through to today. That's a millennium of military service.

I really wish hfy writers would learn a bit about things. Railguns are not weak little baby weapons, the more power you put into a rail gun the harder it hits.

[@TheDurid1]

Nice to remember that wars are primarily extreme forms of culture clashes. The mercenaries were so focused on the coin, that they didn't understand how others couldn't be. I'm sure some merc groups could have been folded into local governments. And much loss of life could have been avoided if terrans trained other military for the xenos.

These mercs remind me of the medieval companies from Italy. Though if they were like a modern PMC, they’d be mostly training poorer nations militaries to do counterterrorism.

Around 15:00 he skips an entire 2 lines of writing. This is not the first mistake. Earlier in the video he called the marines marcinaries. Tho I can forgive that considering the context. Hopefully this is a one off. I like this channel. But I'm not gonna keep watching if he isn't even gonna bother properly reading the story's I came for.

@@gabrielandradeferraz386 I tried listening to one of his videos 2 years ago and no offense to Agro but, I could not stand his generic British tv documentary narrator voice. There was barely any emotion, but then again, I only listened to 6-10 minutes of it. Maybe he's improved now. I think Net here does a better job but it does bother me a tiny bit when he messes up a few words. This is my first time knowing he missed actual sentences.
