The ONE Thing Aliens Fear More Than Anything... | Best HFY Stories

[@leonitas91]

At first, i was thanking there was no way humans could be at the top of the list, but they totally sold it. It was a very good story.

[@dicerson9976]

Thats some high juice to make out humans as scarier than both Xenomorphs and The Thing XD

[@willhopkins8210]

I mean, terrain advantage aside (Space and the Antarctic, respectively) the humans still managed to come out on top against both.

[@diamonje]

To be fair. We created both of those.

Ahhh... a day off work... no yardwork... laundry all done... and a new Starbound HFY story. Ahhh... life is good. ^_^

[@armadillotoe]

That was a well-written story, and the narration made it even better. So many of the sci-fi stories on KZbin are disappointing. Thank you for the entertainment.

[@JesusKreist]

Replace "so many" with "nearly all of them". Roughly 95% of the HFY (rather AIFY ...) stories include 6 nax, six nags, 6 9, six nine, sigs nine, ... and/or a couple of ice dogs. Many of the stories have some kind of potential but every single time without fail that potential is floundered by the AI voices and/or inconsistencies in the story itself. This channel is the only I know where a) the story makes sense b) an actual human is reading it

[@SoulDragonWithFlow]

Finally, A HUMAN voice in HFY. It's not AIFY.

[@japkap]

this channel primarily seem to use actual voice actors not AI.

[@oyarichi2549]

This channel has I think 3? Voice actors one is a woman and the other is another man

[@derisathartfelt]

That was one of the BEST I've heard. Amazing voices as well!

A well put together story with enough questions to keep me asking and a good tenseness all the way through. Good job, Human.

[@Ral9284]

JFC! This was amazing. It scratched an itch spot that I didn't knew I had!

[@cjandauntieyaya1446]

So they changed the name to make sure we weren't given the ending. The idiot hunter was a Yautja and I guess they added venomous tendrils to its head instead of just gold adorned tendrils and a breather mask. He also had his gun holstered instead of mounted on his shoulder. Funny how he didn't mentioned the xenomorphs himself, but instead he described the Thing as being the scariest species. Considering we humans dealt with BOTH and our species was the last standing, I can see how we'd get the scariest award. Especially if we get specced out the wazoo with body enhancements. FAFO indeed.

[@jakefernandez1475]

This was great I loved this one well done

[@Maeshalanadae]

Good you guys got an intro of some kind put in. It helps rev up for the story.

[@michaelbrewer2903]

What I truly like about Starbound is that the reader put personality into it and it ain't AI reading the stories is just as boring as watching paint dry

[@stawayno]

"Try to procreate, and learn something new'. Perfect.

[@Strayar]

One of the best stories ive listened so far. Thank you!

[@thesaltyspacecowboy8531]

You got the best voices on Starbound fren, Next is the Girl with the Lakota looking face. Im Cherokee and know many other Natives, she looks Lakota, Maybe Comanche, Apache, But you both read well and have great voices for the characters you read. ❤

[@davidcliatt1314]

The voice is what I wanted to comment on but you did it well, well said.

I've always liked the idea of genetic enhancement and that is my biggest gripe about Star Trek's story decisions. Good story. Nice buildup.

[@timkaldahl]

I don't know if you start with AI, or if you write these from start to finish, but I really appreciate the real intelligence that goes in to them.

[@ricochet1351]

This reminds me of a DC comic where a bunch of Rogues are arguing over which city is the safest to terrorize. I won't spoil anything, but I do recommend it.

[@casard5235]

Just over 5 mins. In and I like the warrior speaking with intellect. Nice twist. Back to the show

[@rachaelcourtnell7275]

"Aliens" "the blob" really! I do like the end though.

[@lemmypop1300]

Also "The Thing" with Multiplicity and "Predator" with Avollo. Predators are called Yautja, and his species are here named Yauven. I'm not sure about the rest.

[@johntheherbalistg8756]

"Dirtlings" 🤣

[@robertgraybeard3750]

The first I ran across something like that was was back in the 1950s, possibly the 1960s. It may have been in a short story by Asimov in the Foundation universe. Some archeologist was studying anchient languages, trying to locate the original homeworld of humanity, and was fairly certain they called - it the language that was the root of all human languages - "mud" or "dirt" or a similar word.

[@warriorwithin44]

So basically john carpenter's "the thing"?

[@SSTR87]

[@colinsmith1495]

Keep in mind, not ONLY did we beat these things, but we beat these things with UNTRAINED, NON-MILITARY UNITS IN EXTREME ISOLATION!! Alien is taken down by some space-truckers with a futuristic forklift and tools to eradicate bug infestations (flamethrower). The Thing is taken down by a group of scientists using de-icing equipment and cooking supplies (flamethrower again and methane). Legitimately, Predator being taken out by a beat cop is less impressive. At least that guy was in familiar territory and was trained to use a firearm.

@@m.jasondoty9062 Maybe, but "mostly spherical with multiple eyes" doesn't evoke a symbiote to me.

@@DarrylCross Could be. The aliens hunters don't mention their size if I recall.

[@yuyaplays9311]

The human should have mentioned that they have encountered the xenomorphs and the thing on their home world even before they achieved spaceflight. Just to see the other three squirm. Maybe also mention that they found out that the xenomorphs were created to kill humans.

[@XtreemAlan]

Why did it take so long for me to realize they’re talking about Xenomorphs?

[@taitano12]

We can take on those other scary things too. Especially with the enhancements. I'm making it my head canon that we were created by the Universe's creator to subdue and have in subjection this planet and all the life on it - something I believe anyway. It wasn't a deathworld at the time, but the fact that we've gone way beyond that mission to the point of nearly ruining the planet, both after falling from grace and apparently becoming weaker, and after the world was made a deathworld SPECIFICALLY as punishment... Ain't nothing gonna be THAT much of a challenge. If it's after the Millennial Reign, we'd be perfect again, and God will be respawning folks like that woman's husband and kids. HFY idea: We were created specifically to bring order to the civilizations of the Universe. The "... And they will learn war no more." thing only applies to war against eachother.

Unlike "theurgy", which focuses on invoking divine powers, "thaumaturgy" is more concerned with utilizing occult principles to achieve specific outcomes, often in a tangible and observable manner. It is sometimes translated into English as wonderworking → perform wonders or miracles [hmmm, ya don't say] oK then, there is that! Also now looking at "Alien Air Biscuits" and am not 100 on a def. The BLOSSOMING eventuality adds to my dumbfoundedness Have an idea, just not 100 /;^) As to this story, kinda long in the teeth to get to the human entry point lets say. Otherwise normally length is non issue fo me. Maybe I was distracted and missed some important bit[s] idk oR it could be my grand-D and her mother exchanging heated volleys about cleaning a room. A 29 year old arguing with a 7 year old . . . FEMALES are an enigma and so void of logic and reason that it often reaches out to snatch ones brain, MALE brain damage at the least.

I'm disabled myself from work injuries, compression fractures of the spine.. 7 vertebrae crushed, and four discs destroyed.. twenty years ago, so the arthritis from it is pretty advanced.. I can still walk, for just a few minutes before I have to sit down or fall.. So I REALLY wish those human enhancements were real.. So.. know where I can find that Human fix/it, modifications shop? I'll start saving my pennies now... : ) buuuuuut, if I could, I'd pay it off in offing bad aliens contracts.... I mean, I haz the training for it.. I just need the added mods to make it happen...
