What is that spinning barrack glitch. Never seen that happening. And what does emp on base does?

EMP on the Orbital remove it's energy so it can't scan the clocked Ghost.

As for the spinning barrack he's just making them float + parol at the same spot, you can do that with pretty much every units.

I must admit I enjoy every aspect of this game, enjoyed the SP and started over to do it on hard lol. I am a bit addicted to multiplayer and try to get better every game.. Its just there are a decent amount of "mastered" players which sometimes make it where you think people are cheating lol..

A proxy in sc2(which is what I thought of when reading this thread) is when you scout the other player and right away build in a hidden spot or in a dark spot they haven't discovered and slowly you move into there base.

Mostly toss players do it with cannons. You scout and quickly go in a dark corner plant pylon and start with 2 cannons and move your way into there base. After that game.

Me too. As for encountering God-like players, watch the replay and see what they do. You learn a thing or two which in turn makes you a better player. (Y)

My copy arrived a couple of days ago - loving the singleplayer campaign so far! I have never played a Starcraft game before - so I am doing the campaign and some challenges/AI games before jumping into the MP :)

I've done that before. It is a pretty good strat to keep tabs on your enemy, but any race can do it. I've seen it done more often with Terran. Never knew it made me a "proxy". :p

I been doing that lately and sometimes it seems like nothing extra than what I am doing, but it guess it goes a lot with timing too right?

Timing and efficient use of your APM is everything. How do you watch a replay? I find that watching it from the player's perspective helps. I can see exactly what they did. It helps when you're wondering, "How the hell did this guy get Immortals so fast?", etc.

Umm well I watch them in everyone view, but I watch all three or sometimes just one; I forget to watch them in single perspective.

Yeah I am going to study some of these replays a lot more /me saves more lol..

Try this first:

http://svc.systemrequirementslab.com/CYRI/

Type Starcraft II then click the button..

If that does not work try below..

Okay in no way here I am saying commit something illegal, but rather as a test before you decide to buy the game. I would suggest downloaded from a torrent website SCII, install it, and see if it works on your computer on low settings; then of course uninstall it. Once again not saying to commit something illegal..

Just finished the campaign, was quite good. Anxious for next two and curious what's going to happen next.

I really enjoyed it too actually - the cutscenes and cinematics were really well done :)

I am just getting into custom games against the AI now - with a view of getting into my practice matches soon :)

Continue playing against the AI, but on harder difficulty. And when you think you're ready, skip the practice league.

    • How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
