Great reading... I'll have to admit I was surprised to hear Mr. PoPo at 4:50. Started laughing so hard I had to pause the video. Mr. PoPo is a multiverse traveling individual.
Alternate line: "What have I done?" Adam's voice was a mixture of contemplative reflection and cold, steely determination. "I have made you face what your captives face. I have made you equal."
I would suggest that this story quite obviously takes place in our future, with no indication how far in our future. That being the case all the satellites may have fallen back to earth.
That’s actually why I was really confused about whether it was actually Earth or a colony world for most of the first story. There were no satellites in orbit yet humanity would keep launching satellites.
It seems to take place during our next scheduled ice age. Possibly we couldn’t connect to them or send space shuttles up for maintenance. Especially if we got trigger happy with nukes.
I love how there was a bit of story placed throughout the ads. Seriously though, entertaining story and great narration. Authentic human narration and not AI.
Randomly got really interested in this one facet: • 1 Galactic Standard Year (GSY) = 4 Earth Years (EY) • 25 GSY = 100 (EY) • 68 (EY) = 17 (GSY) I did the math just before they outright said it 😅

HFY!!! So great to have an AWESOME new HUMAN narrator for the awesome HFY series. I cry myself to sleep in the afternoons reflecting on the unconscionable takeover of AI voice crap that has , with killing irony, taken over the great HFY stories. Outstanding characterizations, lots of cool voices, great sound quality! Endless thanks, proud fellow human, for taking back what is ours: human stuff !!! Yay humans!
i have to say sir that i find this in my feed and i watch about 5 of your videos and so far i love it to the point i have to sub you men the group of people u have here tall some story is will good to the point that it feel a bit alive which is nice and the fact it not tall by a ai and tall by a real person will made this better i hope u keep up the good work on this channel
I wonder how much work goes into polishing the story and practicing narration. Sooo good! So professional! Talent and hard work together again. Thank so much for making this for us. ^_^
Happy to find another HFY channel that isn't using AI text to voice as a "like" farm bot channel. Good on you I plan on watching many of your videos from now on.
thanks a lot for using real people to read those stories, AI is terrible as of now around here in most cases. if it comes to a fear stuttering, emotional discussions or anything more than the basic narrative text, it lacks massively!
Als ich den führenden Wissenschaftler den Planeten zum ersten Mal beschreiben hörte, war ich mir nicht sicher, ob es sich um einen erdähnlichen Planeten oder um die Erde selbst handeln sollte. Doch die Beschreibung der planetaren Magnetosphäre und des Wetters ließ kaum Raum für Zweifel, und die verbleibenden Zweifel wurden durch die Beschreibung des Sternenwetters, der Sonnenstürme und der koronalen Massenauswürfe zerstreut. Diese Geschichte ist aus der Perspektive außerirdischer Besucher geschrieben, die die Erde auf dem Höhepunkt eines Eiszeitzyklus entdeckten. When I first heard the lead sicentist describing the planet, I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be an Earth-like planet or if it was the Earth itself. But the description of the planetary magnetosphere and weather left little room for doubt, and what doubts remained were dispelled by the description of the stelar weather, solar storms and coronal mass ejections. This story is written from the perspective of extra terrestrial visitors who discovered the Earth at the peak of an ice age cycle.
Not sure whether those are two separate stories or linked, albeit possibly over a considerable period of time? Very good background although the two galactic cultures seem radically different. Also I would wonder how the imperialium managed to survive all the pathogens their brought into contact with their ruling world by bringing an human there. The other issue I found difficult to accept would be the idea that all reversals of the magnetic poles prompts such an extreme, nearly snowball Earth as there's no evidence for that in the geographic records and also it takes a lot long than ~100,000 years for live to recover from such a mass extinction event so that happening so frequently would make life like ours possible. Otherwise a couple of very interesting stories and well worth the time spent listening to them. Many thanks.
We're actually overdue the Magnetic field switch by a few thousand years at this point so it's likely going happen pretty soon(in cosmic timescales so closer to 1 hundred to 2 thousand years~)
Also if we ever run into another species. Until we can determing if their friendly, we show them australia. And make them assume the planet is like that.
Whoever wrote this story has no idea how our worlds weather works apparently. Nor does the author understand the ice age because although it's correct pur world wouldn't go through another ice age until it starts to heal. Nor do we age in accordance with how many rotations we make around the sun and we don't focus on the next generation. We blame the next generation and criticize them
You are right! I am no meteorologist. I did do some research but ultimately the point is that weather really is basically unpredictable past a certain point, and I decided to make up some interesting-sounding reasons for it! The idea being that the aliens learned things we couldn't about the why of things thanks to their super-tech. And while yes the literal rotation of the planet doesn't technically control how fast people age, one of the main draws of HFY type stories is exploring interesting possibilities for how evolution on other planets might work and comparing them to our own. Does the rate of the day/night cycle affect aging? What if it did? Perhaps these aliens just do everything much much slower than we do simply because they evolved on worlds that spin more slowly- what if that was the standard? What if a world with a day/night cycle that was *too* fast was so inhospitable to life that it was more likely for sapients to evolve on worlds with slower ones? What might a species that does actually evolve on a "fast" world look like to ones that didn't? In the end, none of these questions are truly scientifically answerable simply because we can only know how things went on our planet and make guesses. But when so much is truly up to random chance and to conditions that do not exist within our obersvable range, it's really anyone's guess! And its that blank space- that field/range of the unknown in which not just HFY but ALL Sci-fi stories love to prance and play and explore, to varying degrees of "realness" So while yes, much of what I wrote here is likely highly unrealistic- the same is true of most sci-fi. I mean, just look at any of the classics. Dune, Star Wars, even Star Trek all have numerous elements in them that seem quite unlikely or rely entirely upon aspects of physics or science that even today we know next to nothing about! And yes, Tobler's assessment of how we treat our kids is wrong- intentionally, in fact. It's in a way a call to action/moral of the story. The "ice age" earth is a future we couldn't possibly predict, something we didn't even cause in this particular story. And while Tobler believes that our greatest strength would be our unity and solidarity, our emphasis on raising the next generation as best we can and working through things one problem at a time, the irony is that we are often far from it in the modern age. In a way we live in the opposite side of that same coin- living in the "now" to the utter expense of the next generation, with no concern for long-term consequences whatsoever.
@@mogtheblueberry4742 that's correct but I'd hope an alien race advanced enough for interstellar travel and planetary scans would understand how aging doesn't work at least
100% better than any of the AI crap out there

Humans in hfy stories: *violent, destructive demons that destroy everything*
Humans irl: *runs away after seeing the tiniest of cockroach*
Not everyone runs from the creepy crawlies. And our history does paint us in the HFY pallet for the most part. We've proven to be destructive cosmic horrors, godlike angels, small timid prey, and everything in between. 😊
Also humans IRL: casually driving along while hundreds of Bees fly around the cab of their truck, loose from their transport box...
...While others run from a solitary bee chilling out on its own that probably would have left them alone if they weren't swatting at it... humans are weird
Well the aliens would probably do what we do irl as well
To be fair the humans they met seem to be a unified Humanity capable of space travel, it would definitely have our traces and characteristics but would be far more powerful
Its a whole different beast from the humans that exist today
Also humans when seeing wolf: Cute, adorable, majestic pupper!
I was about to give up on this genre until I found a human actually narrating HFY. Well done sir… well done
Seriously, fuck that lame robot voice.
This guy's got such a top tier narrating skill
True, but his New England accent still catches me off guard. "Lofter" instead of "laffter" as an example.

His character voices are comical, but of a likewise high quality and add to the fun also!
All of the narrators on this channel do
Making Oat voiced like an Eddie Murphy character was an inspired call.
And Dr. Doofenschmertz as the other 😂😂
More of a Reese Witherspoon voice (Grandpa from Boondocks) than Eddie Murphy.

Not there quite yet, not 'till that pole switch gets further underway. So maybe 12 atm, 11 on a good day.

A story better written then what the current Star Trek series pushes out right now.Good narration. Good job!
One thing you could maybe test on a stand-alone story would be two voice actors male and female so either actor dont need to stretch their voice.
Thanks for showing the reader too, amazingly engaging and soothing voice
All of your readers are enjoyable, but this narrator is by far my favorite one. Hope he sticks around.
