To provide a clear picture, he started by explaining how easy it is to set up a macro. A macro is a key-bind shortcut that enables someone to perform multiple actions by pressing that specific key. EJ showed Serpent’s in-game settings, where he had two distinct key binds for building edits. He stated that on pressing one of those key-binds, the sequence of actions designated to the macro bind initiates.

The member of Team Parallel then provided several old screenshots of Serpent engaging in a conversation to learn about macro. Apparently, the person showed him how to utilize it. EJ went on to underline the corresponding dates of the conversation and a consequent YouTube video, that Serpent uploaded. He shows off his insanely fast building edits in that video.
