Podcast is Called : ASN Humans Are Space Orcs , HFY and other stories
————–
This Story is Classified as HFY or Humanity Feck, Yea , but what does the Mean?
————-
HFY is a story/series that takes a “human element” in either humanity or an “other” (race/species or object) that exists in a “setting” (future or other world/universe) with varying levels of culture, technology, society and history that help show in some shape or form the potential good or bad for humanity’s race/culture. In These stories Humans are often referred to as Human, Humanity, Deathworlder, Hellwolder in reference to the human planet of origin , Earth. This planet is seen by most of the universe as a place where only death and chaos can survive.
————-
Taken from the FAQ of the r/HFY subreddit.
Humans Are Space Orcs (HASO) or Humans Are (Fantasy Race) Are used as a guide when writing.
In these Stories we normally View humans like the other races view orcs in a Fantasy Novel. We (Humans) share the same characteristics and personalities as orcs. Humans are normally treated as the outsiders and barbarians. Humans tend to be underestimated as well in these stories. Unlike Humanity Feck Yea , these don’t always put a positive spin on humanshumanity sometimes looking at the darker side of human and humanity from the perspective of aliens.

Out of Surgery and back home safe and sound.
As much as I like the humans are space orcs with over powered gear; I find this one to be satisfying believable and in line with our history.
Wishing you all the best bro
For the almighty algorithm
Panzers were works of art. A well made vehicle. The Russian tanks often had primer instead of paint, and they didn't bother grinding down the welds, even. But the Soviets lost more tanks in Operation Barbarossa than Germany made during the entire war. And still had tanks. Production matters.
Lots of monkeys, with LOTS of rocks.
The author missed out on a chance to call the human ships the Liberty ships in nod to the cargo ships the US produced in ww2
Thank you for the video.
It’s been shown many times. “Quantity has a quality of its own”. I always thought for space battles. A small gunboat. Unmanned. You launch it at start of battle with basic orders. Hopefully updating as battle changes. Just maneuvering, big guns. No waste for air/water, heat…
Algebra
I like the reference to Henry Ford's "you can get it in any color you want, so long as it's black."
Greetings, Mentlegent!
For the Rhyhtm that is Algo
"Outnumbered" taken to a Whole New Level.
In a way, every ship having to be hand made, and completely custom, probably reduces the number of wars they had. .. HAD.. until the human ways came around.
Henry Ford would be proud about his assembly line.
back when Americans had the will power. nothing was impossible.
For some reason I always love a story that comes back to throwing rocks in the end.
Aliens: "We've been space faring for millennia, you can't match the power of our ships!"
Humans: "True, we can't. We CAN, however, drown you in numbers."
Accuracy by Volume
Paint them black, because everyone knows you detect enemy ships by looking out the window. @_@
epic!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupid xenos. You don't bring an irreplaceable heirloom to a shooting war.
Fairly new to listening to these stories but… anyone else kinda creeped out by the intense human exceptionalism vibe? Any aliens out there listening in on our internet must be really amused. At least we can hope they are amused. No really, we must hope and pray they are amused. Things could go badly.
I bet Putin believes in Russian exceptionalism. Like I said, things could go badly.
Walk softly and don't let anyone know how big your stick is unless you know how big theirs is.
Stories of "quantity is a quality" always get a fail in my eyes because that's not how war works in real life.
I was shocked it took these Xenos so long to build their ships. But as soon as I realized that, I knew how their doom would arrive
They thought one pebble wouldnt hurt. Ha. They didn't know we could throw THOUSANDS of pebbles at a single time. That will leave a mark.
Reminds me of the design choice for the US Navy during WWII, 'Why wast resources on a super ship when you can build entire fleets of dependable middle of the road ships for the same cost?'
Humans are known to throw more than just pebbles. We've even been known to throw things the size of a telephone pole at the speed of sound.
This story confirms my thinking on how they screwed up the Babylon5 Earth Mimbari war… but, what can you do when the story demands that a Mimbari ship can only be damaged by human weapons when there is a great leader on board that needs to be killed, or, when your main character who is the only smart human in the entire universe destroys one!
Such a good series marred by these two stupid things.
