    how do i build mans

    people say 10 depot 12 barracks 13 gas

    but if you wait until 10 to build the depot, you cap yourself briefly, and you have enough minerals to build the rax when its done, so why wait til 12 to build the barrakcs? when people say 10 depot, they mean when the 10th scv is out, right, not when it's building?

    anyway if i do make it to orbital command, a little gas, and a finished barracks at 15 supply, what then? when do i build more raxes?

    10 means when food is at 10, which will be while it's building

    so you'll have 9 scvs out when you start the depot with the 10th building

    when the 12th is building you make a rax, etc.

    when the 15th scv is finished you should have pretty exactly 200 minerals, get your OC and a marine. deviations start there (almost every single one includes a depot @ 16 which is while the marine is building)

    I've never heard the argument that valentine's day sucks because it makes restaurants crowded

    This whole weekend's been weird for my restaurant. The management team made the awful decision of bringing in additional tables, and while we had a ton of deuces, at no point was the restaurant full. The servers were spread way too thin, and as a result service was poorer. It wasn't a disaster, but we definitely would have done better had we focused on better service for fewer tables, and had walk-ins and reso's wait at the lounge for a table.

    when do i expand

    edit: more specifically, if they are turtled behind entrance walls, and i want to expand and try to outmacro them, is it best to just build a bio blob for defense, or tanks, or what, and if you were to do sort of a middle-of-the-road reactionary strategy, when would be the middle-of-the-road time to expand?

    Even if that assumption is accepted as valid, which it isn't, then working it out means people will never think about that shit. The fact that couples do romantic things on days that aren't Valentine's Day kinda blows massive holes in your whole assumption.
    Like the obligatory anniversary and other holiday crap.

    People might actually think about it on other days if they could just do it for one or two days when people tell them to and ignore it on the rest of the days.

    On the one hand, almost all of the post-Valentine's sale candy is chocolate, and I much prefer fruit candy. On the other hand, there isn't much competition for said fruit candy.

    No I'm pretty sure those commercials represent their products as the ultimate source of joy and fulfillment.

    No, the product is only valuable because it's a simple, tangible representation of a complex and elusive feeling. The product is a symbol, but not a source, of fulfillment. Ultimately, happiness only comes from romantic love.

    If an atmosphere evokes genuine feelings what does it matter if it's artificial? Besides, Valentine's Day is artificial only so much as the day's been constructed to contain romance. It's a day built out of chocolates and roses, but the inside is hollow, and it's up to those celebrating it to fill it up.
    It is a day constructed to get people to buy things. Romance is incidental.

    Oh come on. On a day where the things people buy are romantic tools or supplements, romance is incidental? :P

    That is the silliest thing you've said so far. I get that you don't like Valentine's Day, but at least admit it's not the day's fault.

    this is hard to answer without specifics (matchup mainly, and also what your desired army is) but a pretty safe bet would be adding a tech lab to the first rax after that first marine, and get a marauder, and adding a second rax as soon as you can, I think it's around 20 food. personally after that if you're not facing aggression I'd add a reactor to the second rax so you can do 1 marauder, 2 marine cycles, and you can expand pretty quickly off that

    if you're looking to play more defensively or offensively, basically less macro unless you have an opening, make a third rax when you can. you can afford 2 rax+tech lab and 1 rax+reactor on one base while getting stim/conc shell/marine armor.

    so if you do the three rax and then react to what they're doing you should have at the least a decent force to deal with anything any race will have.

    then you can tech after expanding or add more rax or whatever. generally tvt and tvz you need the tech more imo, where as rax units do real well vs protoss until colossus or templar

    but that's the best general build I can give I think, 2 or 3 rax expand... that should work well enough if every case and leave you able to expand and with a strong defense and flexibility

    Except people do romantic things that aren't just on those days. People send roses simply to send them. Or plan a nice picnic or favorite meal simply to do so. Valentine's Day doesn't cause people to forget it. It simply acts as a reminder to some to celebrate it.

    there's one Kay commercial where this guy gets a candy heart or something and his girl asks him what it says

    and it's something like "you are incredibly beautiful and I will always love you forever"

    and then the girl is like that's not on there

    I don't find that it is a problem if they just boom roaches early, but this guy insists that zerglings don't suck. My position is that if your zerglings or mutas are fighting something that hits back and doesn't gather minerals, you're doing it wrong.

    That commercial rather explicitly said that you should buy their product so that she knows that you're economically stable. Also it shows you how to use the way people react to scary situations (windy bridges, high roofs, etc) in order to get laid. Love never entered into it.
