		+	make your ingame ui transparent to increase visibility,

		+	show net gain loss on eco bars as numbers and mex income as numbers.
		+	interface selection; disable the shapes, blurry halos on, enable team platter
		+	unit visibility; outlines thikness up all the way.
		+	fog disabled, its finicy u have to move the sliders around until its gone, it might come back dunno how to do this reliably
		+	increase radar jammer visibility and make the inside of radar coloured not only edge.
		+	increase the size of health bars and eta ui,
		+	enable icon heights, will make all units display as icons when at certain height, ensure that u dont get half units as icons and the rest models on same screen, because default is distance from camera to decide if icon or model,
		+	decrease icon height trigger height.
		+	teams colours enable self as teal, idk green just hurts my eyes after a while,
		+	lagging players blinking,
		+	in audios id decxrease all unit respons and ambient sounds, keep battle volume not too low and music all the way up, u will need the harmonious sounds to not go insane.
		+	map exterior id disable since it only takes attention away,
		+	water settings try reflective as it geives better visibility of underwater units,

		+	get all the widgetery, mainly u want ;
		+	all of terves (prefires, sweepers,targeting ais, burrowbomb attack, juggler ai , newton ai, flea cloack spotter, caretaker ai, jump dodge bombs, scorpion dante ulti auto defence, separate waypoints for bombs)
		+	avoidance ai for scythes and widows,
		+	artillery counter battery /marking,
		+	ecohelper,
		+	esainanes icons are quite good but performance hungry and u will get a headchace in large teams,
		+	damage flicker,
		+	comeplted units notifier,
		+	the lotus script ideally slowed down to actually do something
		+
		+	learn to land swifts and thunderbirds, there are widgets that will do it for you but i find that doing it manually is effective enough and low apm cost
		+	set owl to auto retreat by default on 66%, use them on repeat to patrol the frontlines
		+
		+	if you reliably win against brutal, fight zkgbai to train mechanical micro countering/ecoing,
		+
		+	most important one is use lobsters in packs ofc, with sumo and cloak fields
