I play on the switch 2.

For the past two days, I’ve played completely normal matches. And then, out of nowhere, I start lagging so bad. My screen is completely fine, but other people are teleporting around like Endermen and I keep getting killed because I have no idea what’s happening. Hell, when I spectated my teammate he was glitching around too. It’s not affecting any other games and the Wi-Fi is completely fine. Now, since it started yesterday, I’m assuming it has to do with the literal 100 degree heatwave currently happening outside, cause yesterday is when it starte. This isn’t even a bug report (maybe it is idk) and more of a rant. Also my controllers are drifting and sometimes they just stop working and I have to reconnect them by taking them off and back on mid match, which has killed me several times

  Feeling his way through the dark alleyway, Kai felt chills down his spine. He had to be here. He knew it.

  These damned backroads and twisting passageways were going to kill him. Whether whatever was lurking within them would or simply the boredom of going through tunnel after tunnel would, he wasn’t sure.

  As his fingers traced the patterns of brick, Kai noticed one that felt wrong. Out of place. A jolt went through his body, a deep sense of danger. I’ve found it.

  He pushed the brick and immediately he heard a click. The wall shifted. Bricks rearranged, revealing an entrance. It was small, so he had to squeeze himself through.

  Once he’d made his way through, he was greeted by a dark room lit by candles, illuminating the skulls and bones that littered the floor. Yeah. This was it.

  “So a hero’s finally found me, huh?”

  The source of the voice emerged from the shadows. The man, about six feet tall, had his hair messily slicked back with a single strand lazily dangling on his forehead. 

He wore a turtleneck muscle shirt decorated with chains, covered by a half unbuttoned dress shirt. A scar from above his eyebrow cut across the bridge of his nose, and another one was a jagged cut on his lip.

  He shook his head and sighed. “What a shame. I was hoping I’d get a little longer without being caught.” Kai’s eyes narrowed and his voice dropped to a low, straightforward  tone as he asked a single question.

  “Where is she?”

  The villian laughed. “No introduction? How rude of you. I’m Honeo. But you can call me Reaper. Fits me, wouldn’t ya say?” he said, gesturing to the bones strewn across the ground.

  “I’m not telling you a damn thing about myself.” Kai spat. “Now give her back.”

  Reaper seemed to ponder this for a second, before lazily tilting his head. “Okay.”

  Kai froze. The hell did he mean, ‘okay’? He can’t be serious. He’s gotta be joking. Before he could respond, the villian’s voice cut into his thoughts. “Well? What’s got you so confused? You asked for the girl, I said you could have her. Are you stupid? Now follow me if you want ‘er.”

  Kai’s hands clenched into fists as he followed Reaper through even more tunnels. Every muscle in my body is telling me this is a trap. Why am I even doing this? Trusting someone who’s your sworn enemy, following them through dark alleyways? Am I really this desperate?

  “Here we are. I was hoping I’d get to play with her a little longer, but beggars can’t be choosers, I suppose.” said the villian as he gestured to a door.

  All the hairs on his skin raised at the wording of that single sentence. He couldn’t possibly mean… No. Kai shook the thought out of his head as he entered the room. His heart dropped to his stomach as he turned white.

  There was Yuki. Chained by the wrists, lying in a pool of her own blood.

  Dead.
