ColonicBoom Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 it does kind of become an exercise of chasing perfection in a system that wasn't built for it. I.E. - Online play of a fast moving FPS game. Chasing the ping dragon... It starts as an interest, then it becomes more, a hobby, then more, your noble quest, then more still, an obsession! Before you know it, it has become everything to you... Your North, your South, your East and West, Your working week and your Sunday rest, Your noon, your midnight, your talk, your song, You thought the Quest of Ping would end: You were wrong. It's all consuming, chasing the ping-dragon can destroy even the strongest of minds. You lay broken, under the desk, your routers' eyes blinking at you, taunting you with their tormenting green glow... "Shave off another millisecond" they say but they don't speak in any human tongue, they just hum at you and occasionally click. Why must you relentlessly MOCK ME?!? No Mum, I'm fine, yes a cup of tea would be lovely thanks. But you're not fine, you're cracking, you're losing your grip, you're slipping into the abyss. "google dns, my ping", you murmer, No sanctuary, not in your slumber, Disturbed by modems, devils, cables, You can't escape, take heed this fable, Your soul is cursed, your hopes are dashed, “I don’t care”, you sigh, A lie unto yourself, unabashed, Ping is demon brother to despair; The demon’s tale outwithers those who dare not dare. It lays in wait, to consume you whole, The gaping maw, will take your soul. Anyone want to play some Dom?
