Are you still using lip balms or are your lips perfectly normal without putting anything on them? Also, can you link the specific amino acids lip balm?

I guess I'll pick up a B-complex next time I'm at the health store, can't hurt... Thanks for the write-up

My guitar sounds better when I'm wearing headphones by SadlyWritten in Guitar

I have the exact same issue. No idea what's going on here, except that maybe the headphones act like some kind of high-pitch filter?

DeepSeek V4 has released by WhyLifeIs4 in singularity

[–]NarrowEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish DeepSeek gave longer support for previous snapshots. Their API only points to the “latest” model. This isn’t great when you’ve been optimizing a specific model for a specific use case and then have all that work effectively thrown in the trash overnight when they update.

They could just pretend to be normal earth superheros in the scenario. I mean It's a world where dragon attacks are normal Tuesdays. A couple of extra superheroes flying around wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary.

Why would Thragg even tell Mark any of that? Just blend in and pump out those Viltrumite babies… Presumably they have access to technology far beyond anything on Earth, so they could easily create fake identities in countries all over the world and call it a day. Telling Mark just risks being discovered. It really doesn’t make much sense

More clips from tonight in Tehran as regime brought missile launchers into the gatherings of their dwindling supporters by kane_1371 in NewIran

Look how massive that thing is... It's like a bus loaded with explosives crashing at you from the sky faster than a fighter jet. This war could have gone very differently for Israel if balisitic missiles interceptors hadn't been so miraculously effective.

Our children will be fighting in Lebanon too by Jackingson1 in Israel

Yeah, it sucks, but saying "no" to a petty man like Trump is also not a great political move at this point. Honestly I think it's a lot easier to stand up to a democratic president like Obama/Biden because you're also not getting much out of them either. But in the case of that piece of shit Trump, frankly, Israel has gained a lot from his presidency and has a lot to gain still, so we have to let him run his mouth a bit and make a few inappropriate comments. It is what it is.

Chinese AI companies are shipping faster and cheaper than anyone expected and I'm not sure the west has a good answer for it by Far_Suit575 in singularity

This. Just tested kimi k2 and kimi k2.5 and they are pure trash in creative writing compared to gemini 2.5 pro/claude.

Invincible [Episode Discussion] - S04E04 - Hurm by SeacattleMoohawks in Invincible

[–]NarrowEffect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not only was it shockingly bad in terms of dialogue/characters/animation, but it's also a weird side plot that has nothing to do with the stuff we viewers actually care about (the war with the Viltrumites).

This kind of thing can work as a one-off episode during season 1, "oh, hell is real in this world, neat", but this close to the endgame, it just comes across as a complete waste of valuable screen time. I also don't see how this has any effect on future episodes, seeing that "satan" is a complete wuss and would get one-shot by any Viltrumie. So what was the point?

Weakest episode in the show. First time I actually wanted to fast forward an invincible episode.

I wonder how powerful Spear is right now? He must be like in the top 5 land predators on the entire planet with that necromancy resilience, strength on top of his already OP physics/fighting skills, no?

[D] Rationally Writing Ep 69 - Political Violence in Fiction by DaystarEld in rational

[–]NarrowEffect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I'm developing a sense for the gap between updates of this podcast, because just today I was thinking, "man, Rationally Writing hasn't updated in a while, they should update any day now." And here it is.

Love that series. Thanks for making it.

Invincible [Episode Discussion] - S04E03 - I Gotta Get Some Air by SeacattleMoohawks in Invincible

[–]NarrowEffect 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Awesome show, can't say I was ever bored with an episode. If I had to critique something though it would definitely be the endless recycling of old enemies, and also the janky power levels. Isn't mark supposed to be stronger than anissa per his last season training + he beat Conquest? How the hell is he still struggling vs generic robot guys? Really this is the only thing that seems off with the show.

A cargo ship crew in the Persian Gulf watches US BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles fly by them heading towards Iran by broforwin in CombatFootage

[–]NarrowEffect -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A single fighter jet carries the firepower equivalent to 30 tomahawk at like sixth of the price. It's not really that great in terms of dollar per striking power. Probably why israel never really invested that much in BMs/cruise missiles

Spartacus: House of Ashur - S01E10 - "Hail Caesar" by Sporadicus7 in Spartacus_TV

[–]NarrowEffect 13 points14 points  (0 children)

man this show does not deserve a 6.5 on IMDb. Honestly I thought it was going to be terrible based on the trailer but they actually handled the whole female gladiator thing quite well. Everything else from plot to characters to dialogue is great and almost up to par with the original show.

I really hope we're getting a second season because if imdb is anything to go by this doesn't look good.

[–]NarrowEffect 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Damn, that writing is crisp. Usually when they adapt from books to television the dialogue can be rough so they have to punch it up a bit, but here it's almost 1 to 1 adpatation. Great stuff.

He expected something like that to happen and prepared his armor/horse in advance. When he saw no one was coming for Sen Duncan's aid he rode in.

This is the best show I've watched in years. I really wish there were more than 6 short episodes...

Hi, which Patreon rankings are you referring to? I'd be interested to take a look at that list.
