First!
Always here for these videos
Good afternoon everyone
Helloγβ»
I think this is a prequel
I like your stories that show the aliens getting that you know what's handed to them in a silver platter! and how many of these proud aliens end up being nicely humbled!
Before I read the title, I saw the alien struggling in the grass and thought it was harmful to them. Now I REALLY want an HFY story revolving around touching grass
I'm about 2 minutes into this but I feel as if though I've heard a similar one before
Well well well, if it isn't the only channel that i don't have notifications on for, yet somehow manage to catch every one of your videos within an hour of uploading.
Very well done. I thought I recognized the scenario but it was not quite what I remembered, and it turned out to be quite different. If only the typical AI mishmash of plagiarized material was this good at handling topics! This is by far the best site, not perfect, but far better than the alternatives, and the voice performers are definitely the best!
36:44 Well ….that got weird
This sounds suspiciously like another HFY story I encountered on another channel, by what must be the same writer. That empire was different, however, a decaying one that had already conquered humanity but abandoned Earth as it was forced to fall back. It had the same system of slavery, the same avian shock troops, and the same alien navigators.
14:30 So if their leader gets killed they are basically left defenseless and orderless. This is not a good way to train soldiers. It will leave them unable to improvise when it is eventually needed. From what Iβve heard the US military is the opposite, at least the Marines. You kill the leader then you have just taken the regulator off and someoneβs about to get creative and maybe create a new war crime.
This is not an HFY story… humanity is barely mentioned, and the aliens go home without firing a single shot (at Earth)…
It's a square peg in a round hole
Gravity wins. Everytime.
LOVE your ability to have different voices for the different characters. This makes the story MUCH MORE INTERESTING!! Thank You!
Does anyone know the name of the other video featuring The Abraxia Authority? Can't find it.
Clicked to listen to this video on my phone and I tripped. Seems fitting I lost to gravity too
I prefer listening to you tell the stories in the other guy no offense to him I just think that if you put more effort into it and I quite like that please keep up the good work and have a good day or night depending on when you read this
So earth is space Russia
It is nice hearing a story being read by a human voice instead of a computer generated one.
It feels like Humans are being underestimated, lol. Without the proper forces for ground attacks, even our inferior tech is more than enough to deal with these jokers.
Holy ads. Seriously, 15 double ad breaks is a bit much.
I absolutely knew where this story was going – understimate humanity, lose catastrophically – right up to the moment when Tulvuri shot Calabrian. Well done and thanks for the originality.
Definitely the best of your most recent stories… It was refreshing not to have another girl boss inflicted on us….ππ
Honestly, not they probably could have worked around the problem without having to level the whole planet. You could still do alot to tear apart any ground targets without stepping foot on the planet, plus you have other races on the ship that would be capable of making an appearance on the ground even if they weren't specialist to fight, they don't even have to fight really just use them to make political connections and set about diplomacy with the ever present threat of orbital bombardment. You could claim a victory without having to use the birds as your main fighting force, or even without the humans knowing the gravity was too much for them.
If you can establish that diplomatic foothold, you could then start enlisting humans which considering the objective was the conquer the planet anyways, you would eventually have to reach that step.
I guess it worked out better for earth and the galaxy the way it happens in the story, but both the authority guy and the bird were both somewhat stupid.
This is the most boring story I have ever heard
Aliens : HAHAHAHA I SHALL INVADE!
Gravity : No, I dont think you will
Well done, Tulvuri. o7
This story was unsatisfying. I read the title and expected to hear about invaders struggling with Earth gravity, but nothing like that happened. Instead we listen to endless unnecessary details and no story gets told. Also, WAY to many commercials. The story was interrupted every three minutes with ads.
There is zero chance that an alien species is caught off guard by our gravity. They would have measured it already, itβs not a difficult task to calculate.
My one beef with this is that it said the moon was small and underdeveloped. Which i call BS. Our moon is massive. And it is definitely not underdeveloped.
It goes in the square hole
I'm happy to hear a story without invincible Mary Sue humans.
This gent has, by far, the greatest range of character and voice that one could wish for as a story teller within the HFY community.
Would like to see this gent apply himself to different genres.
They could have set up a moon base. They could have did an orbital bombardment. They could have controlled Earth easily without landing.
"But as the Abraxi Authority discovered nearly a mullenium ago, their talons were as sharp as their voices were sweet."
Feelings confer intuition. Intuition makes you deadly effective. You can get a lot done if you're deadly effective.
Have to say, this one was a lot of tease and setup for no playing-out. It's for sure a good detailing of the best case scenario of an invading slaver horde, but we never once see everything implied play out. Could do with less interjection of writer beliefs, it accomplishes filler text as opposed to actual events.
Is this a repost?
Isn't it more difficult to drive a square peg through a round hole rather than a round peg through a square hole? That metaphor was skewed. There are a lot of plot gaps and failures in this story. Wouldn't an FTL capable ship that already had artificial gravity to handle the varied species gravity requirements throughout the varied needs of it's empire also have the tech to create individual gravity shields for the troops? This would offset the physical stress of high gravity worlds. This is an often overlooked detail in most of these stories. Why would the gravity control system be limited to the ship?
good one
wow
what a story / excellent read / excellent graphics
definitely a thumbs up
