# HELLOOO TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF HIVE 👋

##### How's everyone doing today? Hopefully everyone is doing well, living life A-OK.

##### Got a short and sweet gameplay video for you guys today. 

---

Even though the gameplay is short and sweet, the amount of packet loss seems to be never-ending haha. Like the number of disadvantages I used to face wasn't enough already. 

Recently the amount of packet loss has been sky rocketing, "to the moon" as they say. Yet, I try my best to keep a straight face at least, and just play on as I always do, hoping that one day I get a fair chance at this thing. That day I will really get to see who's actually capable of what, for now, all I can do is hope.

You guys will just get a glimpse of what I have to face in most of my matches almost every damn day. Yes, most of the gameplay I upload does not include such fluctuations when it comes to the ping and packet loss. And that's because those matches don't make it to the "list", they get deleted early on because we ended up losing, or just because it wasn't a "highlightable" match. 

Playing at a moderately high ping already puts us at a huge disadvantage, having frame drops and an average fps of 40 to 50 is another, but for me it's manageable at least. But facing packet loss of 5% to around 40%? Your head simply starts spinning if you're not used to it, your character teleports, so does the opponent, and the shots don't even register sometimes. 

I really don't know how I've managed to survive this long in a competitive scene with such a shitty internet connection and potato PC. My "gamer buddies" tell me that I'm one of the most patient human beings that they've come across, and I guess that's really the case here. Maybe I just carry on while putting all the disadvantages aside because I know that one day, these problems won't exist anymore. A part of me just keeps telling me that it will happen. I know that when it's time, I myself will make it happen. For now, we'll just have to wait a bit more I guess.
