Muscle Growth Comics

Dialogue matters significantly. Strong works feature “lively, sparkling dialogue” that makes characters feel believable and relatable even as their bodies undergo extreme changes. The best comics balance visceral visual spectacle with enough character development to make the transformation meaningful.

🎨 ➤ Hyper-detailed anatomy & transformation sequences ➤ Stories ranging from sci-fi serums to magical mishaps ➤ Art that celebrates power, size, and the ultimate physical peak

Narratively, muscle growth comics often follow familiar arcs:

Do you have the subtitles (SRT) files as well?

Afaik nobody is creating subtitles for these streams, so there are no srt files.

I am creating the subtitles. Do you want to create a GitHub repo and let me commit to it?

From the Handmade Hero complete playlist on YouTube, 433 out of the 674 videos have automatic speech recognition (ASR) subs. I have already downloaded those ASR subs. Interestingly, 3 subtitles were manually uploaded (day 1 and 2 of Intro to C and day 1 of Hero). So maybe someone was subbing but gave up?

As I watch, I have also been pasting the YouTube link into Kapwing and converting the JSON into SRT files. I have done several so far. Need to do this 200+ times for the remaining videos of the Hero series.

The subtitles are here.

I have created the organize and rename scripts, which will sort each series into their folders and add titles to the video filenames.

Is this still seeded? My resilio sync client shows 0 of 0 peers online. If not, is there any way to get these original files?

Yes, it is. Usually ~20 to 30 peers are online all the time.

Hi, thank you very much for this! Is there a separate token for handmadehero_prestream as well by any chance?

Any reason why the latest episode is day 663? Why haven't you updated to day 667 yet?

Thank you so much for doing this!

I started syncing yesterday and got around 33% which was about 400gb+. I booted up handbrake and converted the Handmade Hero Day 663 from h264 to h265 bringing the file size from 6.3gb to 2.4gb (NVEnc) or 986MB (CPU). To me, the quality looks the same.

I started off with the H.265 MKV 1080p 30 template changing the following parameters:

Video:

• Video Encoder: H.265 (NVEnc) / H.265
• Framerate: Same as source
• Encoder Preset: Slowest (NVEnc)/ Slow (H.265)

Audio:

• Codec: AAC Passthru

I thought I'd share in case anyone has concerns about disk space. I'm going to try and batch through it, but I'm not sure how far I'll get.

Please seed people, It's not possible to download at the moment due to lack of seeders.
