It’s really sad that his willingness to say the tech industry is full of shit is such an unusual attribute in the tech journalism world.
What is interesting is if he didn’t pretty regularly say in so many words " why the fuck AM I the guy who is sounding the alarm here?? " I would be much more skeptical of his points. He isn’t someone that is directly aligned with the industry, at least not in an “authoritative expert capable of doing a thorough takedown of a bubble/hype mirage” sense that you would expect someone sounding the alarm on a bubble to be. I mean I can tell the guy likes the attention (not in a bad sense really), but he seems utterly genuine in the attitude of " wtf, well ok I will do it… but like seriously I AM the guy who is sounding the alarm here? This isn’t honestly my direct area of expertise? I will provide you a thorough explantion with proof… but my argument really isn’t complicated, it is just ‘business doesn’t make money why will no one acknowledge that’ and it breaks my brain that people that are experts in directly adjacent/relevant things can’t see this…? am I high? "
… cus yeah Ed Zitron, that is how a lot of us fucking feel right now.
(these aren’t direct quotes, I was summarizing, go watch/listen to some of Ed Zitron’s stuff, none of his arguments hinge on anything unreasonable or especially complicated, which is the worrying part…)
If you aren’t already use shift click to que up multiple commands for units (this works for any command in the game). Once you get used to relying on it everything becomes way more manageable!

Also set your factories to “repeat” and set up defensive patrol routes with your factories so you can sit back a bit and not have to micro everything as hard.
Also the community is friendly don’t be afraid to ask for help in getting better!
It is amazing
It doesn’t just look cool as fuck, it actually delivers on the vibes it gives off and it does so in spades.
If the suggested solution doesn’t work one thing you could consider is getting an armor x pro or the cheaper armor x (doesn’t have gyroscope sensor) that essentially turns your controller into an elite controller that can also be made to appear as a playstation or nintendo switch controller.
I have two and have used them extensively and my only criticism is the controllers need essentially line of sight with the dongles to connect. The connection doesn’t use bluetooth rather the controller is connected to the computer/console through the strike pack communicating with its own dongle.
I know this seems random but an xbox x/s controller with an armor x pro is hands down the best xbox controller period even before you factor in the gyro sensor that can send input into games/consoles without gyro aim support through translating it into joystick input.
Exactly, and centrists will shrug their shoulders and say “well if they aren’t going to pay taxes, do they really deserve to be here?” and be completely clueless to how blatantly hateful this is.
