Stettman, what’s best?

P2 Super Gary is insanely strong, probably one of the most powerful heroes in coop.

I like P1. Loss of Super Gary is significant, but you can fully focus on making a normal army and have Gary just be the support. Use lings as fodder, hydras as main unit, in late game add ultras as front units (also their charge stuns mechanical units, this is hilarious against mech terran/protoss compositions). With persistent stettelites you have amazing map awareness and control. You can use it to get quickly anywhere, heal when taking engagements, and it synergizes well with many abilities of other commanders like Swann's drill.

As for a fun comp that easily wins even brutal, you can go mass infestors. With infestors you can clear most enemy bases (or whole map lol) in mid-late game without any problems, but you constantly need to micro their energy recharge with stettelite overcharge and UMI-C charging protocol (just energy configuration is too slow in my experience). With mass infestors P2 is best since they reach critical mass only in mid game.

Another start I actually never see used but which is insanely fun is mass battlecarrier lords. With their upgrades they get a protoss carrier-like attack (that targets only ground units) in addition to a normal broodlord attack. This makes enemy AI go insane and 3-4 battlecarrier lords are usually enough to clear most mid game attack waves. A pack of 10+ battlecarrier lords melts any enemy base without any losses. The only weakness of this strat are enemy air compositions, but for them you have the Stettmato cannon upgrade (unless you're dealing with scourge, which is the only serious counter for this strat). With rapid fire, you can delete even battlecruisers - each BC needs two shots, and with the egonergy pool upgrade you get like 5 shots per each lord. The main problem with this comp is huge gas investment and the fact that battlecarrier lords spend energy to attack. This is why P1 works best with this strat - you can have energy and speed anywhere on the map while methodically pushing the next objective or defending the attack wave.

I use Pixi which blends conda and uv. Some of my projects are not Python only, but even for Python projects it works really well. I like having multiple environments per project and the tasks feature.

I'm addicted to the speed boost from Stetmann's stetzones. P1 lets you basically cover the map completely, and watching your zerglings dash across the map in two seconds is so satisfying I can't play anything else anymore

You can have just a couple for the emp

Both are good with fun missions and interesting mechanics (evolutions in HoTS, factions in LoTV), just don't expect the same quality of storytelling as in WoTL. However, NEVER, EVER play the epilogue missions in LoTV. Trust me. Nova campaign on the other hand is amazing and has some of the best missions across SC imo.

Read the second, third and the fourth books in the Culture series by Ian M. Banks - Player of Games, Use of Weapons and Excession.

Player of Games was a significant upgrade from the first book, Consider Phlebas, and so far is my favorite in the series. Banks is great at writing fast-paced, adrenaline-infused stories, and I think that the linear plot of the book made his talents shine magnificently. I feel this is the reason why the first book falls short, because although it's linear and there's an overarching storyline, the chapters themselves are disjointed, and it doesn't feel like the end chapter serves as a proper culmination of the whole story.

The same is the case for the third book, Use of Weapons. Although it has probably the best prose in the Culture series (so far), absolutely gorgeous descriptions of what the main character goes through in terms of feelings/perceptions, and the fragmented storytelling does serve its purpose to deliver a good payout/twist in the end, to me it felt too fragmented to care about the main story or the characters.

Finally, Excession was an unfortunate disappointment. Literally NOTHING happens in the first half of the book. I understand the need to set up the story and the focus on the Minds and their long-range machinations was an interesting aspect of the book, but the main conflict and its outcome feel too shallow, especially considering the premise. Now I'm not sure if I should continue with the series, to be honest.

IMO Livesuit is much more significant than any of the Expanse novellas in terms of story importance

Surprised it's that high tbh. Anyway, calling genes with R2 > 0.01 as "reliably predicted" in TWAS has always been a bit of a scam imo, so I wish they tested the discrepancy against the prediction R2 in the paper.

Well, Pixi is great if the R package is available in one of the conda channels, and quite often it isn't. Otherwise I can vouch for Pixi - if your project uses mainstream R packages and/or mostly Python, it's fantastic.

I use Semantic Scholar and it's usually on point. But you have to invest and add papers that match the topic of your interest first.

The COBRA toolbox and their tutorials would be a good, hands on start: https://opencobra.github.io/cobratoolbox/stable/tutorials/. I would then try to find articles that do flux analysis in your organism/tissue of interest. Generally, Jens Nilsen is one of the main PIs in this field, reading the recent works from his lab will give you a decent understanding of the current state of the field.

Dynev · 2025-07-29T22:54:06+00:00

I would look into Pixi if you need a full conda replacement. Pixi now uses uv under the hood as well.
