HFY Stories: The Curators 9-13 | Guided by Ancient Hands

Anyone watching and not subscribed you are missing out of one of the best HFY channels on KZbin!

[@Firebuck]

I think it's THE best. The writing is excellent (and devoid of that AI stank) and the episodes aren't padded with repetition to increase the length.

[@ronellis9710]

@@Firebuck I think Starbound is the best by far.

[@TerrellScott-h7y]

@@FirebuckI agree

This Sci Fi story is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Thank you, great work so far!

[@janjager2906]

I don’t know how, but as so far every story is so pleasantly satisfying. You are a gifted writer, thank you.

[@stratometal]

That got intense and super serious. I did have to replay a couple of conversations in order to grasp clearly who was saying what, but otherwise great. I do understand the stories were meant for reading rather than narrated. I am aware the adaptation to a more serviceable form for narration would be time consuming, so I am not complaining, simply making an observation both to myself as a noob writer and for anyone interested. I suspect that it would significantly slow down video production if alterations to the text were made and we are hooked on this stuff so hard we rather the pace be kept, yes? Once more, I love this story and am grateful for the video, here is to a new year of more awesome content! Happy New Year.

It is still more understandable then works that sound ai made or is more read only o the pain of ... Or /// or [ ] or ( ) being said out loud. Unlike my writing it is meant to be a proof read before telling the story for others.

[@stratometal]

@@loganshaw4527 True true.

I tend to use a couple of particular flourishes in my writing which are very hard for mechanical readers to get right. I like my conversations to sound natural, so characters interrupt each other a lot as real people do, and even though it's pretty obvious what's going on when reading, it's hard for a computer to recognize and to generate audible cues. The other thing is using emphasis on certain words to indicate what the actual subject of a statement is. Still, this is a pretty good rendition and it's mostly possible to figure out what is going on. And it does require a lot of labor to mark up text so that a computer can read things like that properly.

[@stratometal]

@@localroger Yeah I figured you would have those flourishes in the text form. Doing something to distinguish when read out loud by AI would take more time, like changing voice or something. Regardless it is what it is. I can't wait for more, if I have to rewind a little from time to time, that is more watch time which makes the algorithm happier and that is a good thing. I do not mind. If I were to start writing I would keep in mind your notes and technique, so thanks for sharing! And Happy New Year.

17:05 - i feel this... waking up with the sudden insight into something that has been puzzling me 😂

[@rustygoddard]

I like this series, it's on my must-watch list now. Good work. And good job to the word smith who made it.

[@LordTaos]

Really loving this series. I can't wait for the next.

[@leonievanheerden7090]

This became so quickly one of my favourite stories to follow, intriguing and I can't wait to see the unfolding of this beautiful gift ❣️👽

[@SciFiOdysseyOfficial]

Concise and insightful.

[@daniellore2961]

Wonderfull, thank you.

[@rogersmith1408]

Love it. Could be a huge mistake giving them tech. But they are not wrong in that it would take a very long time, if ever to produce an industry from nothing.

[@ChrisFrank-v7p]

Original and excellent thank you

[@RustyEcks]

Loving it!

[@Francisco-m5w]

Wow wow wow great series well thought out it was awesome thank you!

[@elvisalpha]

This is getting of the ground really great. 👍👍👍

[@travelingscienceman4404]

Ahh, the good old let the vikings stay. Rollo, the forebearer of William the conqueror, took over Normandy and the King of france eventually made him a duke and the vikings turned French. The anglo saxons making peace with the vikings due to a stalemate. The byzantines hiring the vikings as the first Varangian guard, etc.

[@user-vo3st8kx7s]

Frenchmen are not named from viking, far from it. They provided few genetic but in the long run it did not mater.

[@travelingscienceman4404]

@@user-vo3st8kx7s no, I was saying the vikings that stayed in normandy quickly considered themselves french

[@stratometal]

I just thought of this, Grandpa BUFF has to be the next plane getting the FTL. If Earth needs a Warmachine in space it has to be the B-52, it was made for it!

[@pi3tr3]

nasty space vikings. amazing episode :)

[@loganshaw4527]

Lol the history of Vikings is a odd one. How is there no more Vikings? they got wealth enough to by large land and settled and became lords and farmers. The Norwegians are great people that are descendants of Vikings.

[@wayneresper7761]

Great episode...

[@Goldbergeri]

Ooh it continues

The fundamental errors of communications are having expectations you will be understood. Or that logic will match. Or that consistency is valued. Or goals will be revealed.

[@TerrellScott-h7y]

Great story !

[@TerrellScott-h7y]

Neat universe and mythos

[@ChrisZimmerman-gy6lo]

Thx

[@bojanfiser7529]

Make them your friends while secretly buing yourself time to have comprehensive answer to the threat that they pose, while outsourcing potential texhnology that will streanghten your enemies but have the confidance that you will oitatrip them in advancements and have them rely on you for their own advancements, is not a bad strategy at all.

[@clamobactor]

Unless the curator can compensate for angular momentum during a fold, then he must be folding to somewhere else on the planet at the same latitude. So he doesn’t go far. However I’ve no idea how he could possibly have arrived at the random landing point on the quarantined planet unless he placed a tracking device on the Grasshopper, followed it, and landed nearby at about the same time.

[@stonereaper1157]

This is great

[@HRBladeAU]

So Khitomer Accords when?

[@clamobactor]

The curator has quick access to way too much classified and limited circulation information. The suspect pool must be getting very small by now.
