Why Humans Are the Most Terrifying Deathworlders | Best HFY Stories

[@StarboundHFY]

Oops, turns out we forgot to put subtitles on this one 🤦‍♂so sorry, will be fixed for future videos! That's the thing with being an all-human channel, sometimes mistakes are made! Edit: We've added accurate subtitles to KZbin's CC, so make sure to click the CC button on the video if you'd like subtitles for this one!

[@soldierscotty1959]

NO! It was the best story without the forced subtitles! I liked being able to turn them off and just listen to you tell the story sir!

[@rev.jonathanwint6038]

You realize the first thing they teach people in a crash is to stay near the crash site right? 😅

[@davidcliatt1314]

​@@rev.jonathanwint6038you only stay by the crash site if you want to be found.

[@michaellinnet6095]

Bullshit! A burning spaceship is not the place to stay. If FTL were to be discovered, the power requirements necessitate fusion power. Even a fusion reactor when damaged is going to be "hot" with radiation. This ain't a plane crash on Earth. No search and rescue on an unknown planet.

[@josephmckee3605]

With such a quality narrator i feel that sub titles aren't needed

[@CassieMichael]

Has anyone ever noticed this about these HFY stories--that either it's one about humans as "holy crap space Hulks" or it's humans as "pathetic wet noodles not worthy of attention if you stepped on them"? And they always either take place in a galactic academy/some sort of military training school OR an alien invasion facing the consequences of invading Earth in some unimaginable way. Or--my personal favorite--the Galactic Council sentencing some human to a deathworld to die, only to watch them treat it like Bear Grylls being on vacation.

[@zeehero7280]

Hulk hooman smash

[@patrickdurham8393]

That's kind of the theme here

[@CassieMichael]

@@patrickdurham8393 I wonder how come there's not more variety?

[@joelceda3500]

Because then it would be just regular scifi, not HFY. Though those stories exist among the proper HFY ones too. At least this channel has actual humans reading the story, not the crappy AI readers.

[@CassieMichael]

@@joelceda3500I was just wondering, that's all.

[@armadillotoe]

I would rather listen to you tell a bad story than listen to an AI butcher a great story. Thank you. This was a very good story.

[@ednakabalu1323]

Me too bruh

[@Sir_nuggets]

But he has good narration?

[@Nuclearburrit0]

​@Sir_nuggets he sure does. We appreciate that.

[@allansolano9]

its like listening to scary greentext stories to go to sleep, text to speech is fine but you start listening to a few proper narrators that reasonate with you and proper readings easily are the better told story. times6 is one of my top 5s for greentext narrators mrballen is a top 3.

[@Allantitan]

@@Nuclearburrit0though comparing him to an ai narrator is sadly setting the bar really low as a child could tell a better story than an ai can

[@colinsmith1495]

HFY writers should really expand their 'humans are resistant to poisons' list. Allium is a whole family of plants (onions, chives, garlic) that are well known to deter insects. Allyl-epropyl-disulfide is the chemical in question, and it's what makes cut onions burn the eye. And we eat it regularly. As seasoning. We enjoy it. Just one of many.

[@raymondcarter1137]

Wow I was sincerely moved. If a story can make you feel disgust,joy,anticipation then that’s a story worth listening to but more importantly hoping for the story to continue is rare and this is a rare gem.

[@brohansolo4122]

Sitting in the little camp I made in the forest near my house, drinking my beer, listening to this story, while my domesticated wolf (dog) runs about makes me proud to be a Human 😎🐕🍺🌎

[@sandwiches-o3f]

Dogs aren't from wolves. Just wild dogs 😮

[@steelsquire2153]

All of mine are just stupid I watched one run into a mostly open door three times in the span of 60 seconds

[@ademile_0973]

One of the best sci-fi stories channel.

[@alexandercuevas6783]

I definitely jump between starbound, net narrator, and ASN.

[@UserWalterbe]

Indeed. Very true. While most competitors are at the quality level 'garbage' and as such it is easy to stand out it remains clear actual effort is made by this channel.

[@Kakarot64.]

They have 10 claws which are mostly used to scratch their own arses

[@XKathXgames]

And scratch that hard to reach spot on the back of dangerous but fluffy predators who are really curious about who is a "good boy".

[@reaperking-uz4co]

this needs a part 2 pls

[@draglorr5578]

A good, well-written story with a very clickbaity thumbnail

[@LibraritheWizardOfficial]

That's often the case on this channel... I just click and hope it's a story I'll be interested in

[@johntheherbalistg8756]

Two thumbnails* 😂

[@michaellinnet6095]

Wow! This was bitchin'! About half way through I had figured out that Auro was the chief in question, but I never expected that ending!

[@ManicPandaz]

Love the stories, love the narrators… but the AI thumbnail art that has nothing to do with the video is a constant disappointment. Dinosaurs had nothing to do with this story.

[@liaml.e.5964]

Flattery aside, these stories paint the entire universe as incompetent and weak, more than it props up our species...

[@hallowedbeyourdays]

That's part intentional but mostly the problem, I'll agree. It went pretty far beyond belief in short order, even back when HFY was new. In 2010 and before, it seemed like just about everything was anti-human. Or rather, humans were always cast as the default and it seemed as if everything was crafted to be shitting on what was normal. Every alien was humans with hats on, and every accomplishment the human faction in the game achieved was relentlessly mocked in the narration and plot. Then James Cameron's 2012 Avatar released. It looked like everything put up with from the direction of neo-elf LARPers and everyone roleplaying online trying desperately to be anything but human, the first iterations of Humanity, Fuck Yeah congealed on the traditional games board of 4chan. It's meant to be a direct counter, but here we are in the mainstream, where too many people have no idea why this genre exists. If you want a truly good quality HFY story, look up the tale of Drake McDougal. That's a story revering what about is worth revering about the human species.

[@liaml.e.5964]

@@hallowedbeyourdays Thank you so much for the insight. I just recently got into HFY and I find it entertaining but... formulaic. I'll look into the one you mentioned

[@hallowedbeyourdays]

@@liaml.e.5964 One that isn't specifically sci-fi HFY but so, so very well encapsulates the spirit of the genre is the Ballad of Edgardo. In there you will find a prime example of the kind of environment I was talking about, which cultivated the sentiment that pushed the first of the genre out the door.

[@pax1sw]

WOW! 🤯 That was an amazing story! You are a fantastic writer!

[@doejohnathon3487]

Is there a part two to this I want to know if they find hexia

[@AkReaper]

Agreed

[@krmusick]

Well read and voiced. I do hope this gets continued.

[@texaswildcat2000]

I can see this continued...

[@goodcitizen64]

Fantastic narration to a good story! I appreciate the human touch...much better than the AI stuff! Thanks

[@ByrnLetrassa]

Loved this one. Great job!!!

[@jeffreyseitz9900]

Why do these space alien warriors appear to be like modern school children. They are completely detached from their teacher's lessons.

[@TheSpacePyro]

That is because of a lack of interest for example if you try to play with a cat they either go ballistic and play or they just are not interested and refuse to play. Having a lack of interest is a universal thing in all animals. The reason why it is more apparent in children is that they have a mind a developing brain that is constantly active and trying to absorb information at a rapid pace so they have a hard time focusing on one thing at a time

[@hallowedbeyourdays]

Your skill with accents is excellent. Great story, great work.

[@steelsquire2153]

Please tell me this has a part 2 I don’t know why but this deserves a part 2

[@jetstream504]

Bro where the hell are the dinosaur’s at. that’s the whole reason why I came here 😢

[@xephael3485]

That was his new pet

[@gabrijelmijatović-f9r]

Im so happy I found this channel before it got famous I still remember when it was that 1 guy always reading the stories now we got 3 of them but the guy narrating them before isnt here anymore it would be nice if he could narate again

[@autumnsilverwinds4990]

Whoa whoa whoa where are the subtitles? They were the main reason I watch this channel, actual human readers and subtitles stand apart from the other HFY channels. The youtube autogenerated subtitles are terrible and make it hard to watch

[@patrickdurham8393]

turn them on in settings

[@autumnsilverwinds4990]

@@patrickdurham8393 You didnt read the whole comment. The youtube auto generated captions are never accurate enough for me to understand what's happening

[@epicgamertool]

The channel forgot to add subtitles for this one, they just made the KZbin subtitles accurate too

[@LibraritheWizardOfficial]

Could be worse, I can't ever listen to Agro Squirrel without subtitles 😂 Also as noted in another reply, they just made an oopsie and the subs have been added! 😊

Same reasons another human would be, in the same situation: distrust and xenophobia pika

I think he was wearing a flight suit.

[@TheSpacePyro]

He was most likely wearing a spacesuit which are designed to handle different temperatures like the freezing temperatures of space or the unfiltered heat of the sun and its radiation plus the suit itself is heavily padded with different materials which would most likely prevent 3rd degree burns due to how many layers are between you and the outside of your spacesuit
