It does have a plot, you just didn't stick around long enough to find out what it is.

I don't blame you though, it's an awfully slow game and it's not for everybody. Different strokes for different folks!

If you're not doing at least 100 APM when you're gaming then why are you even bothering? Get out of here scrubs.

It's nice for some strategy games where you gotta wait for your slow rear end citizens to gather resources for your flashy army.

APM is such a loving annoying thing

like yeah it's impressive if you can micro like a god and your APM is skyrocketing

if you're literally just clicking incessantly for no reason to artificially inflate your APM you are a moron. doubly so if you do it in regular online play. way to get carpal tunnel for no reason.

have a friend that does this and I call him out on it all the time and he just goes 'no dude it keeps my fingers warmed up.' as he misclicks and sends all his SCVs to some random spot and they all stop mining for a few seconds.

Why the gently caress would anyone let a game run in the background just so they can check on it every 20 minutes? I kinda though the whole point of video games was to engage your brain and distract you for escapism.

It's some seriously dumb poo poo and a sign that points to a total collapse in western society.

Games are for children 12 years old or younger.

people click their buttons as fast as possible for no reason when they play video games just to impress other gamers with the amount of times they can click the button in a minute
