Measure Your Clicking Skills On CPS Test

In the fast-paced world of online gaming and competitive fields, every second counts. Click speed tests are an essential tool for gamer's to assess their quickness and skill.

These tests have gained significant traction and are widely used by both internet users and gamer's who want to improve their manual skills and reflexes. This extensive manual attempts to address all facet of click speed tests, from their creation to their mechanics, importance, and methods for increasing clicking speed.

Click speed tests were first developed as a way to measure digital talent. Since then, they have developed from simple scripts to complex platforms, drawing in a wide range of users global.

These tests primarily assess a user's click-through rate—often expressed in clicks per second (CPS) or clicks per minute (CPM)—by having them click a predetermined target in a predetermined amount of time. These tests provide measurable information about speed and hand-eye coordination, which is especially useful in fast-paced game types.

In the gaming community, click speed tests are useful for jobs demanding fast actions, such data input. In addition, the article provides useful advice on how to increase clicking speed, such as practice exercises and practical ideas. This guide helps people perform at their best in virtual and real-world environments by giving them a thorough overview.

Introduction to Click Speed Tests

Click speed tests are online applications that judge how quickly users can click within a given time window. They are also called click speedometers or click speed counters.

These tests usually consist of clicking a button or box as many times as you can in a predetermined amount of time, usually expressed in seconds. In order to give consumers an objective assessment of their clicking speed, the result is sometimes presented as clicks per second (CPS) or clicks per minute (CPM).

Origins of Click Speed Tests

Click speed tests have their origin in the early days of the internet, when basic web-based challenges and games began to become popular. Click speed tests gained popularity with the creation of online gaming groups and events, where users would battle with one another to show their talents, though their exact roots are hard to pin down.

How Click Speed Tests Work

The basic idea of click speed tests is to count how many clicks a user can perform in a specific period of time. A counter tracks each click made by the user on that particular region, and the test closes when the time limit is done. Users can then see their clicking speed by calculating the CPS or CPM using the recorded clicks.

Significance of Click Speed Tests

Click speed tests serve multiple purposes across different domains:

Gaming : In the gaming world, especially in fast-paced games such as first-person shooters or real-time strategy games, agility and reflexes are crucial. Click speed tests help gamers assess and improve their reaction times, giving them a competitive edge.

Competitions : Click speed competitions have become popular events in online communities and gaming tournaments. Players compete against each other to achieve the highest CPS or CPM scores, with some competitions offering prizes or recognition to the top performers.

Personal Challenge : For many internet users, click speed tests serve as a fun and engaging challenge. Whether it's to beat a personal record or compete with friends, these tests provide a quick and accessible way to test one's clicking speed.

Types of Click Speed Tests

While the basic premise of click speed tests remains the same, there are variations in how they are presented and the features they offer :

Simple Click Tests : These tests feature a single button or box that users click repeatedly within a set time limit.

Timed Challenges : Some click speed tests impose stricter time limits or add additional challenges, such as clicking specific patterns or avoiding obstacles while clicking.

Multiplayer Modes : Certain click speed tests allow users to compete against others in real-time, either locally or over the internet, adding a competitive element to the experience.

Tips to Improve Clicking Speed

If you're looking to enhance your clicking speed, consider the following tips :

Practice Regularly : Like any skill, clicking speed improves with practice. Dedicate some time each day to perform click speed tests and track your progress over time.

Focus on Accuracy : While speed is important, accuracy is equally crucial. Aim for precise clicks rather than simply spamming the mouse button, as accuracy can impact your overall performance.

Optimize Your Setup : Ensure that you're using a comfortable mouse and ergonomic setup to minimize fatigue and maximize efficiency.

Warm-Up Exercises : Before diving into click speed tests, perform warm-up exercises to loosen your fingers and improve blood flow, which can help boost your clicking speed.

Experiment with Techniques : Explore different clicking techniques, such as using multiple fingers or adjusting your grip, to find what works best for you.

Yandere elf x reader - Bath time :)

Character and Art belongs to @meo-eiru! Please check out her blog ✨ Another BIG thanks for creating him!

This is a follow-up to my last fic: if you want to read that one, click here. I'm not sure if I'll do another one, a bit out of ideas lol.

Warning: 18+ content, non-con, drugging, general nsfw !

—————

The water stung your damaged knee. Silas was preparing something in a wooden pail, humming some tune, while you sunk deeper into the hot spring. The water brushed your chin, as you glared at the back of the stupid elf’s head, bobbing back and forth as he dunked colorful fluids from flasks into the bucket. His long, luscious hair was levitating on the water's clear surface, covering his butt.

You were so close to freedom. He told you he’s enchanted the area now, stopping you from leaving entirely. No idea how that worked, but he showed you by pushing you gently against an invisible barrier. Your cheek had squished against the unseen partition, like when a human tests their cat’s intelligence against walls in those videos. “To protect you”, he explained in his sing-song trill.

If you hadn’t been injured, you would’ve made it. Away from this maniac.

“Look what Mama made!”

Silas held the bucket under your nose, smiling serenely. The liquid was a mix of pinkish goop and specks of sparkles. Your eyes lingered on the strange soup, then turned up to meet his excited face.

“What the fuck is this”, you mumbled crossly.

“No swearing, darling!” He patted your head. He didn’t know what the word “fuck” meant, but he read that it is bad for children to use. “It’s my healing salt! Doesn’t it smell amazing?”

Silas kept holding it under your nose. It did smell good, damn it.

“It will heal your poor leg. Plus, it makes everything feel a bit tingly. Healthy for cleaning up down there.” He gestured to his crotch.

Fuck.

Without warning, he dunked the solution into the bath. The mixture oozed slowly into the clear spring. The effect of it was almost instantaneous. You felt the biting pain ebb from your limb and you sighed in relief. Elf magic was so fascinating. If only Silas wasn’t such a freaking psycho. You would love to learn more about it. And then go back home and sleep in a bed without tits in your face.

He was right about the prickly sensation. You felt a warmth pulsate down there, as you absentmindedly sunk deeper into the water. Your gaze blurred and you felt the comfort of the heat engulf you.

Silas pulled you to him and placed you in his lap. His towering upper body remained out of the pool, the breezy touch of his skin a great juxtaposition to the searing heat of the water. To be fully engulfed, he would have had to spread himself across the whole spring, leaving no room for you.

You felt him grow below you. The effects of the water seemed to work on his form as well. His cheeks blushed.

“Be good, darling.” He breathed into your ear, sending a shiver down your spine. “Let’s heal you completely.”

Your leg was fine. You didn’t need any more healing.

Silas’ lips brushed yours, his tongue slinking quickly and entangling in yours. The potion and his saliva were making you go crazy, your lap roaring with want. It was impossible to bottle up.

The potion made movement slow. You were attempting to push away with the last of your wits, but it came across as you gently pressing his chest together. He misunderstood and held your face up to his breasts.

“Drink up…”, he trebled, leading your mouth to his hard teat. It was hopeless.

Your wet lips traced around it and you felt the elf jitter under you with excitement. His hands were softly trailing down your back and took hold of your bottom, squeezing the soft tissue. The water delayed his movement, but you felt him lift you slightly, hovering dangerously above his throbbing shaft.

You could feel him against your entrance, nudging slightly. The heat consumed you, thrumming in the area, wanting. You released your lips from his chest, gazing dozily into his red face. If he was blushing more, you could not tell. He looked so enthralled; the big, dumb eyes full of devotion to you.

Silas crashed into your lips again, kissing desperately, lapping up every part of your mouth. The more saliva you exchanged, the more you felt yourself pulsate. The waves within you crashed, begging for relief. You tried to use your arms to push him off of you, but they felt so limp.

You hated this effect he had on you. You couldn’t stop yourself. This surge and needing the release - it drove you insane.

Floating above him in the spring, you felt him twitch there in unfair expectation. He was far too massive for you.

Silas wrapped one arm around your waist, pushing you closer into his body. Your breasts compressed against his and he moaned shakily at the sensation.

“Mama will heal you, dear…”, he huffed after releasing himself from your lips, with bits of drivel escaping his mouth. “I lov-“

You couldn’t take it anymore. You sat down on him, letting the beginning of him enter you with a strong jerk. He filled you up, with just so little of him inside. Your entire body shook from the flash.

Silas head knocked back; his eyes crossed as he let out the loudest yelp you had ever heard from him. He had never felt you like this before. He only dared milking himself in your sweet mouth, for fear of tearing you apart. But this… the feeling of your tight, velvety walls, the little he could feel of it was enough to make his world spin.

He instinctively grabbed your hips with a jolt and lifted you up and down on him. He wanted more of that sensation, more. More. More!

You were bouncing on top of him and felt every sinew explode with electricity. He bucked his hips slightly when you bobbed back down, but not too much in fear of breaking you, slowly deepening each thrust.

Although you could hear his pitiful “Ah! Ah! Ah!”s, your entire environment seemed to muffle. All you could feel was the inconsolable penetration. The way every jab made your groin burst into flames. The water splashed vigorously around you, as he guided your body into his. He lifted you like you weighed nothing. His head was still jerked back with his eyes in the back of his head, it seemed he was unable to do anything other than plunge halfway into you.

You couldn’t help but release low moans yourself, the note of your bellows making him tense up more. His large hands were clasping your ass, the flesh spilling out between his long fingers. You whimpered and let him consume you, every thrust splitting your walls further. The loud clapping of your bodies and the vigorous splashing, you were intoxicated. The sounds. The sensation. It was diabolical.  

You let out a string of deep moans, as you came, the wetness around his shaft increasing as you tightened your grip around him. Silas couldn’t hold it any longer, either, as he erupted within you, squealing from the overwhelming pleasure.

He spilled out of you. A puddle of white foam bubbled around you. Silas heaved loudly, blinking excessively and tilted his head back forward, staring dumbfoundedly at you.

He looked like you beat him up. Tears were escaping his rippling eyes, as a tiny sob hiccupped out of him.

Fucking baby.

“D-Do you feel better now? Have I healed you?”, he squeaked, pulling you into his arm cages again.

You rolled your eyes and nodded out of sheer vanquish. There was no point explaining to him that this wasn’t how you heal humans. There was no point explaining to him that mothers don't do this.

Silas kissed your head and swirled his hand in the water, making his semen drift away from you. “Oh…all the precious milk. Gone…”

He grabbed a sponge from behind him and started cleaning you feebly, his hands still shaking from the massive release. You saw a tear fall from his cheek. Without thinking, you brushed another one off his cheek.

He gaped at you after the gesture, pausing his scrubbing.

“O-oh darling. You really love me, don’t you? That’s why it felt so good…”, he smiled widely, more tears splashing out of his googly eyes.

You didn’t answer. You didn't know why you just did that.

Silas hugged you so tightly, you let out a wheeze.

“I love you too, my sweet!!” he squeaked and squished you more. “It’s getting late. We still need to have dinner! And you need a proper portion of milk!”

You closed your eyes, sighing.

Another milking session...

bakugou katsuki finds you annoying (he has a soft spot for you) pt. 2

sort-of enemies to lovers with bakugou!! bakugou being avoidant bc he’s bad at feelings. he’s a little shit in this one but he makes it up to the reader!! liiiiiight angst/comfort.

pls read part 1 before 🧡 part 3 (nsfw)

the more you interact with bakugou, the more you’re baffled by the insults he comes up with.

you bump into him in the corridor, and the two of you are completely alone so it’s impossible for you to pretend you haven’t seen him, so you wave awkwardly at him.

“hey, bakug—”

“fuck off, rabbitface.”

bakugou brushes past you as he walks by, leaving you gaping at him in complete horror. “my ears are not that long!”

“cry about it, maybe your nose will twitch too!” bakugou responds without looking back at you, and you find yourself holding your nose on the rest of your way back to your room. it does not twitch one bit.

the day of the midterm exams, you’re full of jitters, standing outside the classroom and flipping through your notes frantically for some last minute revision.

“nervous?” you look up to see bakugou standing in front of you, smirking down at you with his arms crossed.

“yeah,” you admit sheepishly. “i don’t wanna fuck this up.”

“don’t be stupid. you studied, didn’t you?” bakugou’s smirk drops and he raises an eyebrow at you. you nod, and he clicks his tongue at you. “only thing stopping you now is you, then.” bakugou pokes the side of your head twice, roughly but not hard enough to actually hurt. it catches you by surprise, and it happens so fast that by the time his hand drops back to his side, you’re not sure it even happened.

“better not fuck it up, buttercup.”

as bakugou walks away from you, you’re still feeling frazzled, just not for the test anymore.

by this point, you’ve given up on asking mina and the rest for advice. they’re all convinced of the same thing — that bakugou somehow has a soft spot for you. you don’t believe it.

some days, bakugou looks a little less murderously at you, and you think that maybe, just maybe, he doesn’t completely hate your guts, but other days, he completely brushes past you like you’re invisible and you feel like a fool for ever hoping that maybe the two of you could be friends.

but then bakugou starts ignoring you more and more, and you start to wonder if he actually hates you.

you run into bakugou on the way to the gym, and you grab his sleeve before you can even stop to think twice. “bakugou, you good?”

“hah?!” bakugou recoils away from you and looks at you like he’s repulsed by your touch. “fuck do you want, extra?”

extra. you’ve noticed that bakugou’s started calling you that a lot more often recently. you’ve heard him say it before, but not to you. was that all you meant to him now? when did that happen? what changed?

“what do you want? did i piss you off or something? why are you being so—”

“i’ve always been like this,” bakugou hisses at you, and you don’t think you’ve seen bakugou this angry at you before. “and you’ve always pissed me the fuck off. so just fuck off already, would ya?”

bakugou stomps away like godzilla after a rampage, and you’re the tokyo that he’s completely ravaged.

soft spot, my ass.

for the next two weeks, you listen to bakugou. you stay out of his way, you don’t even try to meet his gaze when you walk into class or when you walk past him in the hallways. ignoring him didn’t feel natural to you, but every time you saw bakugou, you reminded yourself that you were just another extra. you’d get used to not talking to bakugou eventually.

the others picked up on this change as well. kaminari casually asked if bakugou had come up with any “interesting, new” names for you, to which you had responded, “haven’t spoken to him in a while, but he did call me an “extra” the last time.”

“extra?” kaminari repeated slowly, raising his brows. “he called you an extra? that’s low. especially since it’s you.” you shrug, and kaminari frowns. “have you talked to kirishima about it? i’m stupid but i don’t speak caveman like bakugou does. kiri’s our best bet at deciphering him.”

you decline kaminari’s suggestion, insisting that it was no big deal, but it seemed kaminari went ahead and told kirishima anyway, because “bro code”.

(1) new message from red riot:

red riot: hey, sorry about bakugou, he’s been a real asshole to you lately

you: hey kiri!!! pls don’t apologise

you: how do u even know lol? kaminari?

red riot: ding ding ding

you: 👎

red riot: sorry… bro code

red riot: i beat some sense into him dw

you: poor kami

red riot: oh no i meant bakugou

you: what

red riot: (👍ᐛ )👍

turns out, your conversation with kaminari had completely set off a chain reaction that you absolutely could not stop, with kirishima (bless his heart) confronting bakugou himself.

you: what

you: u mean u just went over and kicked his ass?

red riot: yup!

red riot: well i guess we took turns

you: ????

red riot: like i got two punches in and he got two punches in and we talked and then we called it a day

you: ???????????????

red riot: (👍ᐛ )👍

you don’t dare to ask kirishima for the details of what exactly happened during their brawl, and you don’t know how you’re ever going to face bakugou ever again. the thought of running into bakugou legitimately scares you, so you decide to hole yourself in your room for the rest of the evening, just to be safe.

well, you thought you were safe, until…

(1) new message from Unknown Number:

Unknown Number: It’s Bakugou.

Unknown Number: I need to talk to you.

Unknown Number: You in your room?

you: no (👍ᐛ )👍

Unknown Number: Yeah right

Unknown Number: I’m at the door.

you’re filled with equal parts dread and fear as you shuffle over to the door reluctantly. you peek through the peephole to see bakugou standing there with a plastic bag in his hand.

you open the door hesitantly.

“you look like shit,” bakugou says, and it sounds so familiar and so right, you almost burst out laughing despite the context of the situation. despite yourself, you can’t help the small smile that forms on your lips.

“here.” before you can say anything, bakugou’s grabbing your wrist and handing you the plastic bag. it smells like food so you think its takeout, but you look inside and see that it has a little plastic bento box and metal chopsticks.

“is this your way of apologising?” you grin cheekily, hoping to get some kind of reaction out of him, but bakugou stares back at you unflinchingly.

“yeah,” bakugou says. “is it working?”

‘it worked,’ bakugou thinks as he lets you fling your arms around his neck and pull him into a hug.

“it’s working,” you mumbled into his shoulder, and you feel two large hands grip around your waist.

extras:

(👍ᐛ )👍 is so kiri-coded i love it

(👍ᐛ )👍

kirishima was pissed after kaminari told him what happened between you and bakugou

he walked over to bakugou’s room all prepared with ice packs and shit

knocked twice, waited for bakugou to open the door, threw two punches

bakugou was confused asf but it pissed him off so punched kiri right back out of reflex

the fight stops then and there, kirishima hands bakugou the ice pack, and they both sit on his bed to talk

both are just holding ice packs to their cheeks

kirishima tells bakugou that it was unmanly of him to be mean to you when you did nothing but try to be nice to him

bakugou just listens quietly, he doesn’t really say much, doesn’t really know what to do to fix the situation

like he already knew that he fucked up before kirishima came to rock his shit

but kirishima is a true bro and he gives bakugou advice on how to make things up to you

(👍ᐛ )👍

[layzeal]

picturing poor teenji in modern era growing up in the 2000s. he's in computer class. the lesson already ended but there's still time until the bell rings, so the kids are allowed to play flash games or visit any allowed website. wei ying slides his chair next to him and tries to annoy him into playing a flash version of smash bros (they'd share the same keyboard to play?? 😳😳) but he ignores him and brushes him off until he eventually gives up and goes bother jiang cheng instead. then, lan zhan overhears a group of girls giggling as they click on a Love Calculator at girlsgogames and then typing out different names and combinations, then loudly yelling and laughing at the results until the teacher tells them to tone it down

at home, he finishes his homework early and all his lessons, but neither brother nor uncle are home yet, so he decides to go use his uncle's computer to find and print some more music sheets. as he's browsing, his mind takes him back to class, and to the girls giggling. he brushes it off, focusing on seeing which music sheets he can practice, but his mind keeps wandering. after a long time, his cursor finally hovers to open a new tab. he types G, stops, then IRLSGO, stops again, sighing in frustration. why is he even doing this?

but the search function suggests the website a few rows down. somehow, he convinces himself that it's fine if he's just clicking a link, rather than typing it. the website opens, bright and colorful, and on the lower left in a small square, he sees that Love Calculator is already recommended as one of the most popular games, behind some doll dressing up, barbie games, and one with a girl with lasers in her eyes followed by a line of floating men. strange games that his female peers seem to play, he thinks

anxiously, his cursors hovers again, the arrow turning into a hand, pointing to the very middle of the heart, enticing him to click. he doesn't. he shakes his head and returns to the music sheet website, scrolls a bit, finds a few sheets, and finally sets it to print, but not without his eyes repeatedly glancing to the girlsgogames tab, still open next to it.

unfortunately, his uncle printer has always been a bit fickle, and it takes a while for it to understand the command. he sighs again, leaning his back on the chair to wait, and while he does, that cursed tab catches his eye again.

teenji purses his lips, biting the inside of his cheek. his hand moves, the tab reopens, and the colorful pink heart stares at him, daring. the printer is still making noises, but hasn't begun to print, and in his impatience, accidentally or not, he clicks on the game.

now this is the worst part

"your name" and "his or her name" sit blank on the screen as the heart in the center sparkles. lan zhan is thankful, at least, that it doesn't spell something ridiculous such as "your crush's name" or "your soulmate's name". this is distant, and doesn't necessarily signify romantic love (despite the sparkling hearts dancing on his monitor). it might just be a silly compatibility test, regarding two person's personalities and their affinity. lan zhan was young, but he knew there were many types of love. one could type the name of a friend, a family member, or an annoying classmate, and it wouldn't mean anything at all. it's just a ridiculous computer game, after all.

with this in mind, his chest feels lighter, and his hands don't tremble as he types "lan zhan" and "wei ying" respectively. the printer makes another sound, and the paper slides into it as the music sheet slowly takes form. finally, with just a bit of hesitation, he clicks on the bright pink button written in cursive font, "calculate".

the love meter fills as the hearts and names bubble and dance flamboyantly, and his printer sucks up another page. he doesn't stare at the screen, because as established, he does not care much for it, but the colors jitter on the corner of his eye, and he pretends not to pay attention to it, watching as the black notes and line come alive on the previously blank pages.

then, the screen changes, and something like confetti and sparkles move as the animation switches, signifying the result of the calculation was complete, and lan zhan does not move to look, the peripheral colors taunting him as he continues to watch the printer do its magical work.

but every respite has its end, and as he collects the papers and gathers them nicely on a thin pile, he realizes he must now turn around to close the tabs and shut off the computer. a voice in his mind reminds him of the big, bright button on the CPU — one click and he won't even need to look at the screen, and simply turn the computer off and leave the room, but he painfully turns the idea away. the teacher has said that this was not a good way to shut off a computer, and besides, what if the tabs stay open? what if next time his uncle turns on the monitor, he finds a bright heart flashing with his and wei ying's name, and the extremely high results of their relationship compatibility? no, the mere thought of it was nightmarish. he must face the girlsgogames tab alone if he wishes for his crimes to go unnoticed by any other soul.

so, slowly, with eyes slightly unfocused, he turns on the chair, and reaches for the mouse again, and a fleeting thought wishes he'd had removed his glasses before doing so. thus, impassive, lan zhan looks back at the screen, eyes focused on the red X at the top right corner, but for as much as he'd tried, the bright and colorful animations caught his attention, listless to his efforts, and right before the window closed and the vast green field and blue sky of his uncle's wallpaper welcomed him with open arms, a large, pink number had burned into his retina, and his cursor sat motionless over the "shut down" button for longer than he'd ever admit.

after that day, for reasons which lan huan is still not certain of, his didi became quite enthralled with the percentage of 33, even asking if it really was a low number or if there were any significances to it that they were not familiar with. lan qiren, however, could only wonder why the ads on the corner of some websites had begun to flash in pink, purple and white, suggesting girly games website which he'd never even heard of.

Exponential improvement - Miguel O’Hara x reader

Warnings/tags: Tutor!Miguel, college AU. Reader is bad at math. Reader and Miguel aren’t actually together, it’s more of a first meeting type thing.

In which, Miguel finds a hill to die on.

Unfortunately for you, that hill is teaching you how to graph Logarithmic equations.

You had made it through highschool math, but just barely- and at the cost of more than a few all-nighters and tear filled study sessions. Math was never your best subject, to say the least. But to be fair, was it anyone’s?

You told yourself this class would be different, that you wouldn’t let yourself get behind, that you’d study, that you’d buckle down and do what you needed to do to get a good grade in the class. But none of that mattered, because despite your best efforts, you were failing.

And god, it felt horrible. You were too embarrassed to ask for help- it was the easiest math class there was- the one considered so basic and fundamental that it was required for every degree track. You knew others were failing, you even knew some had dropped the class in the first week. But that didn’t stop the steady build of shame and self hate that slowly but surely wore you down and left you hanging by a thread.

Then, that thread snapped. You had put blood, sweat, and tears into studying for this test. You stayed up nearly all night going over your notes and the test review. You practiced graphing and crammed every available scrap of information on quadratics, polynomials, and rationals into your head. You even spent the morning of the test watching YouTube videos over your weakest subjects- endlessly reviewing in the hope it would make some sort of difference.

But it didn’t matter. You failed the second test. Barely, yes- you got a 68, but that was still a failing grade, and now you’re halfway through the semester with a 64 and feeling completely helpless about your situation.

You tried, you had studied so hard- and yes, the 68 brought your grade up, but you couldn’t help but feel defeated. Was it so bad that you had expected a little more pay off than a 68? You had ran yourself ragged for that grade, how in the world were you going to get anything higher?

So, you gave in and admitted you needed help.

The campus had a tutoring program that you had known about for a while. Maybe it was embarrassment over needing help, maybe it was your own pride, or maybe it was just plain stubbornness, but you had held out in the hope you could raise your grades without help. But after the latest test, you gave in and signed up for the program.

So here you were, sitting in the tutoring room, waiting for your assigned tutor to show up.

The room was about half full- with each student-tutor pair spread out across the room. The company of others helped calm your nerves, but you couldn’t stop your leg’s anxious jittering. You hardly knew anything about the guy, just that he was in the process of obtaining a masters degree in genetics- and good enough at math to tutor it.

You’re scrolling through your phone- only half paying attention to TikTok as you watch the doorway out of your peripherals, waiting for your tutor to arrive.

5 minutes to 6:00, a man walks into the classroom and sits down at your desk, holding out his hand and introducing himself as Miguel O’Hara. You take his hand, making your best attempt at a strong, confident handshake as you introduce yourself in turn.

You didn’t know who you were expecting, but it definitely wasn’t this. The man, Miguel, is massive: built like a quarterback and taller than everyone else in the room by a long shot. He’s wearing jeans and a simple sweatshirt with the college’s logo. His face is set in a blank, slightly judging look, and his presence just feels straight up intimidating.

You already had your notes and worksheets out and waiting on the table, and Miguel takes notice. He sits down next to you, tugging the top paper in front of him and clicking his mechanical pencil as he scans over the homework.

Before you have a chance to say anything else, Miguel starts, speaking quickly and in a level tone. “Logs? That’s understandable. It’s really quite simple once you get it.”

You open your mouth to respond, but before you can, Miguel scoots closer to you and slides the paper in front of you, tapping the eraser of his pencil on the first problem.

“Go ahead and do this one for me so I know where you’re at.”

He’s pressed close to you, close enough that you can hear his breathing and feel the heat radiating off his body. Miguel seems completely unbothered, his eyes focused on the problem as he waits for you to start.

You pick up your pencil, hovering over the paper as you stare at the problem and urge yourself to think in the hopes you’ll not make yourself out to be a complete idiot immediately.

Graph the following functions. Find the x-intercept, the vertical asymptote, domain, range, and end behavior of each.

1) f(x) = log3(x + 3) + 1

You struggle to work out the problem, and you try your best. But, Miguel hovering over your shoulder and watching you like a hawk as you work out the problem is really not helpful. If anything, it’s stressing you out. Especially with how close the two of you are- with his thigh pressing against yours under the table. You know he doesn’t mean it like that- that he’s not trying to do anything. But if anything, that just makes it worse.

In the end, you give up, setting your pencil down and letting your eyes fall to the floor. “I don’t know where to start…” you say, sitting back in your chair, trying to ignore the creeping build of defeat and embarrassment from the depths of your mind.

Miguel nods, clicking his pencil again and getting the lead to the length he wants it. He leans forward, taking the pencil to the paper and scribbling numbers in barely legible chicken-scratch as he talks you through how to solve the problem.

“Well, looking at this, we know the asymptote is at -3 and we know b is 3…”

Miguel trails off as he draws a dotted line to the left of the y axis. You’re sure there’s a stupid look on your face right now, because Miguel has barely said anything and you’re already lost. You lean foreward, sitting up straighter in your chair in order to look over his shoulder and see what he’s writing. But all that dose is confuse you more, because Miguel’s handwriting

“Then, we can just graph the 1 0, b 1, and 1/b -1 points and move them around…” Miguel pauses again, this time to draw 6 points on the graph, then connect 3 of them with one line and the other 3 with a second line.

“And once you have it graphed, the rest is easy. We already found the asymptote, you can plug numbers in to find your x-intercept, the range is all real numbers, the domain is the asymptote to infinity, and your end behavior is just the same as the parent function.” Miguel finishes speaking and filling in the blanks on the worksheet, looking towards you and nudging the paper in your direction so you can see it easier. “Ready to try the next one?” He asks.

You stare blankly at the worksheet in front of you, still trying to catch up with Miguel and figure out what the fuck he had just done, but the mess of poorly written numbers and lines did nothing but confuse you further.

Miguel watched you for a second before sighing and nodding. “… you don’t get it, do you?”

And that’s how you found yourself still sitting in the now empty tutoring room with Miguel over 2 hours after you were supposed to have finished.

Not that it was your fault. You tried to give up after the 6th time one of Miguel’s explanations left you more confused than you had been before, but the man wouldn’t let you leave. When you tried to gather your stuff to call it a night, Miguel grabbed your wrist, pulling you back down to your seat and stating that “he was going to teach you how to graph logarithms if it was the last thing he’d do.”

And by god, it might be the last thing he ever does, because Miguel was looking worse for wear at this point.

Dark circles underlined his eyes and dark wayward strands of hair framed his face. About an hour ago, he’d pulled out his glasses- stating that the eye strain was bringing on a headache. He was hunched over the mess of worksheets and scratch paper between you- his phone propped up against his water bottle and playing a YouTube video that tried to explain logarithmic transformations to you for the nth time of the night.

You were trying your best to pay attention- you really were- and Miguel was doing everything he could to help. He’d pause the video often to ask whether the way the person explained it made sense or to peek over at the problem you were attempting to solve and make sure you were on the right track.

You’ve made progress- you actually knew what a logarithm was now, so that was good. And Miguel had related logarithmic functions to exponential functions in a way that just barely made sense- the only hurdle left to clear was being able to graph them.

And god- it was a big one. At this point, you were ready to give up- and were just waiting for Miguel to let you.

Your eyes drift back down to the YouTube video playing on Miguel’s phone. The words playing from the phone’s speakers go in one ear and out the other. You can hear them, but they sound more like a foreign language to you than a subject that you’ve spent the past two hours trying to grasp.

You narrow your eyes- trying to focus on the words of the man in the video- willing to do just about anything just be done and be allowed to go home- you’re considering faking a family emergency when all of a sudden, it clicks.

Maybe it’s the caffeine from the soda you got from the vending machine, maybe it’s the way the YouTube video explained it, or maybe it was your dead-tired brain being so desperate to be done with math today, that it simply manifested an understanding of logarithms into itself.

Regardless, you got it.

The secrets of the universe had been revealed to you. The power of the mathematical cosmos was at your fingertips. You felt on top of the world, and you couldn’t help the giddy smile that spread across your face as you ducked down, working out one of the problems on your worksheet in an effort to test your theory.

Miguel hardly noticed as you started working through the problem. The poor guy looked half asleep as he blankly stared ahead at the video playing on his phone.

You finish the problem, grinning wide as you hold the paper up and tug on the shoulder of Miguel’s sweater. “Miguel! I did it!”

When Miguel turns to you, his face lights up. “You did it?” He asks excitedly- his normally stern, or at the very least calm, expression is split by a massive smile as

“Yeah! I understand it now!!” You reply proudly- beaming as you stand up and hold your hand up for a high five.

Miguel stands- nearly sending his chair toppling backwards as does- and you quickly realize your mistake as his open hand hits yours with a loud smack that sends a stinging pain across your palm. Miguel doesn’t seem to notice how you wince. “See! I told you it wasn’t hard!” He says, still grinning wildly as he pulls his glasses off and folds them, hanging them from the collar of his sweater.

“Oh shush.” You scoff- the tension from the rest of the evening no more than a distant memory now.

Miguel laughs- the kind of deep, light hearted laugh that makes everyone else nearby smile- and he runs his hand through his hair, getting the wayward strands out of his face as he picks up the worksheet you’d solved the problem on, looking over it. “Yeah- you got it right.” He confirms.

“I still need some more practice with it I think…” you add, trailing off.

“Well, not tonight.” Miguel says, nodding. Starting to pack up his stuff as he clicks the power button on his phone and checks the time, cringing at how late it’s gotten. “I kept you pretty late… sorry about that.”

You laugh, nodding. “Yeah. Definitely not tonight…” you pause, trying to keep your voice level as you speak your next words. “But, I’m free Tuesday?” You say, more as a question than a statement.

Miguel looks down at you- the remnants of his earlier excitement settling as a soft smile as he speaks. “How about the coffee shop by the residence halls? Around 4?”

You nod, a giddy feeling bubbling in your chest at the thought of seeing Miguel again- outside of the tutoring room too.

“I really am sorry I kept you so late. I didn’t realize how long we’d been at it.” Miguel says, his eyes flickering to the side for a minute- but the split second of nervousness is practically over before it even begins. “We’re probably heading the same way so… I’ll walk you to your car or the residence halls- or wherever you’re headed.”

You grin, packing up your own things before slinging your backpack over your shoulder.

“I’d like that.”

You stood in the Lee know Maknae dorm, watching your members converse with the eight men. Everyone had finished their dinner, eating the food fast like they hadn’t been fed in years, and now they had their little groups.  

It felt odd, like they were supposed to be like this all along. It was like you had been intruding, watching the large group intermingle. It wasn’t until a warm body was present beside you. You looked to the side, straightening at the sight of the large leader next to you. He had a bottle of an undisclosed sweet drink, watching the group with found eyes. 

His eyes eventually slid to you, and you quickly looked away to see Yong-mi giving you a smirk, nudging Sun-Hi and Sang-Hee who gave you shit eating grins. Those motherfuckers- 

“Can we talk?” Chan’s voice spooked you out of your stupor, looking at him from the corner of your eye. He was nervous, the fidgeting fingers and bitten lip made it evident. You nodded, throwing the three dirty looks as you followed Chan to a more secluded spot. 

The two of you stepped out of the apartment, him closing the door behind you silently. The door let out a soft click, and you both sat on opposite sides of the hallway. Jitters vibrated out from the man, and it reminded you of the day when you and Felix got signed to your respective labels. You both were so nervous back then, and you distinctly remember the tears you both shed that day. 

“So...” You spoke first, playing with the strands of your hair. It was fairly healthy, despite the many bleach jobs you put yourself through. Right now, you wanted to put off enough dye jobs until the comeback. “What did you want to talk about?” 

It’s funny how you played dumb. You know exactly why, or at least you think you do. It was weird how much more chill you seemed, compared to him. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes for a second, before opening them. He had the prettiest brown eyes you’ve ever seen on someone, which was hard. 

“A few months ago, You and I...” he trailed off, gulping when your stare pierced through him. He took a shaky breath, running his hand through his hair. He shouldn’t be this nervous, it was just a simple talk with you about that night. 

“Fucked?” Your blunt words shocked him. His expression made a giggle bubble up through your lungs. “Really, Chan, you can be crude. We’re adults, not children. I’m surprised you hadn’t come to me sooner.” 

“Wait, you knew?” He cocked his head to the side, reminding you of a curious puppy. You nodded. 

“Of course I knew, Chan. I had to take a pregnancy test just in case we didn’t use protection. Which, thank you for remembering even though we were both drunk off our asses.” 

Something about his expression made a pit form in your stomach. He seemed so hurt that you didn’t talk to him about it, and now you were regretting not taking your member’s advice. 

“You knew and you didn’t talk to me about it?” He whispered, and you wanted to curl in on yourself. You sighed, throwing your head back and thumping your head against the wall. 

“I wasn’t going to go up to you and say ‘Hey Chan, I got your dick wet when we were black out drunk. Sorry about that.’ I didn’t even know that you knew, I didn’t want to seem like a creepy stalker.” You met his eyes, before looking away quickly. The pit grew, and you suddenly wanted to puke. 

“But you still could've taken me aside. God, you were making me so nervous that I thought you thought that I took advantage of you.” He groaned, burying his face in his hands. You sat stunned at his confession before growing more confused. 

“Chan, look at me.” You shuffled towards him, putting a hesitant hand on his shoulder. He peeked up at you, and his eyes softened just so. He hummed, setting his hands down on his lap. “We were both drunk. I could never have thought that you would do that. Don’t think about that, okay?” You added softly. You let out a soft smile when he seemed to visibly relax at your reassurance. 

“Now, come on. Let’s head back inside before anyone suspects anything.” You stood up, helping him to his feet. He chuckled slightly, allowing you to drag him along. You opened the door, and a couple of cheers sounded from the girls. The rest were screaming, and you could faintly hear Mario Kart in the background. 

“Okay, everyone!” Yong-Mi yelled, getting a few hums. “Let's go out. It's time for fresh air.” And then there were fourteen people barreling towards the door like dogs. You dodged out of the way as a flying Felix collided with Chan, throwing the two out of the dorm.

You haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

The front door clicked behind you as you put the groceries onto the floor with a huff. After wiping away the sweat at your brow from carrying much more than what you were supposed to you strained your ears. As expected off in the distant bedroom at the other end of the house was the telling sign of a machine's whirr.

A devious smirk crossed your face as you walked over to the door, the sounds now much louder. You didn't expect to hear anything from your boyfriend but to your surprise he still had the strength to mutter illegibly.

The door slid open with a barely audible click but he was still able to hear it, his head lifting sluggishly from the pillow you had propped him against. His cheeks were flushed a deep red as his eyes tried to focus hazily on you. Once he analysed who exactly was in front of him his mouth dropped open in an attempt to voice his wants. This time nothing came from it though, his throat probably sore from earlier on.

A coo left your mouth as you slowly made your way over to him, watching as his head dropped to the pillows in overexertion. Once you were at his side your fingers brushed against his cheek, barely present but already too much for him to handle.

A sharp whine left his mouth as his jaw dropped down, a torn mix between a groan and a moan escaped him. His body was sweaty, sticking to the sheets as his chest arched upwards uselessly. From your position in front of him you could see the jitters rocking through his legs as the machine you had hooked up before you left hammered into him.

The pace was more relaxed than what you usually used but since this was the first time you had left him alone with it on you decided to go a little easy on him. It didn't really matter though as the prolonged stimulation had made him dumb anyway.

"How's my pretty boy doing? Feel good?" You questioned, letting your fingers drag torturously down his legs as you paced near the machines controls. A weak moan greeted you as you watched the dildo attached to the end of the machine be swallowed by his ass.

"Soo good~" He drawled, his voice melding together in slurs as he weakly tried to buck his hips. At his motion a sharper more panicked cry left his mouth, tears beginning to fall from his eyes. A smirk rose to your face as you walked up a little bit, stopping by his cock. It was an angry red, nearing purple, and doused in cum from the last hour or so.

You wondered how long it had taken for him to give in to the sensation. Had he done so early or had he tried to hold out for as long as possible? A devious look crossed your face as you went to grasp at the weakly pulsing cock.

A squeal left his mouth as his hips shuddered violently, another orgasm was pulled from him as his refutes turned into a blend of whimpering and pleads.

"Is my baby sensitive?" A hum left your mouth as you slowly dragged your hand up and down his shaft, listening eagerly to his broken cries.

"Pleaseeee~ Feels like it's going to burst~" Your jaw tightened as arousal grew in your own core but tonight wasn't about you. It was about him.

"Okay, I'll shut it off now then. I'll even give you lots of cuddles for being my good boy." He seemed to relax a little at the soft words as you walked back over and shut the machine off. One last time it dragged from his walls, incredibly slow as it came to a full stop. The lube you had applied onto the dildo made an obscene sound as it finally left his hole.

A sigh of relief came from him as you shuffled the contraption backwards before going to untie the binds around his ankles. As soon as he was free his legs seemed to shudder, shaking out the overstimulation and testing his newfound mobility. A small smile crossed your face as you undid the rest of the ties, shrugging him off as he tried to grab for your arm a moment later.

"Not yet baby, I have to make sure you're alright." You ignored his whines as you gently ran his body over with a cloth, doing your best to silently apologise at the flinches of sensitivity rushing through him. He turned away the bottle of water in your hands, instead opening his arms. They wobbled weakly before dropping back down. A small laugh left you at the pout on his face.

"Cuddle time it is then." All too happily you pushed away some of the extra blankets and settled yourself nicely next to him. Quickly, while still making sure to watch out for any discomfort he may have, you pulled him to your body and let him tuck his head under your chin. A blissful sigh came from him as he nuzzled in closer, more aware of his own boundaries than you were.

"Liked it... felt good." His sleepy mumbles soothed any leftover worries you may have had. A hum left your mouth as you pet his hair back.

"Good huh? Maybe next time we'll do something more with it then. Clamps maybe? More intricate bondage? A blindfold and gag?" You rattled off ideas as you continued to pet him, trying to lull him into resting.

"Yeah..." Was all he said as his breathing finally levelled out. Your head nodded as you let your own body relax a little more. He'd be tired and needy when he woke up but that was exactly what you loved about him. There was nothing better than smothering your baby in love after all.

@magioffire continued from here

The strange creature's---never human, only 'it', only 'thing', only 'monster', there were no more humans left alive in this place---immediate insistence upon threats, that emergence into a consciousness as if the blackness of the mind had been burned away by the desire to fight, suffer, and perhaps even live was....admirable. SUCH INSTINCTS REQUIRED GUTS and few, if any, dared to bare them so ferociously at this particular Lord. Admirable and something else. Something deeper, more resonant....

"Well, well, well!! Listen to you, awake all of two minutes and you're already BEING A LITTLE SPITFIRE." There's a hint of bemusement in the grizzled monster's man's voice as he sets his notes aside---as if anything could compare to the thing laying prone at his feet---a quality which only emphasized the sharper undercurrent of danger wrapped tight around each and every word no matter how benign. When I say come you come. When I say stay you stay. When I say bleed you bleed. And heaven help you if you don't comply fast enough... "You're lucky that I like 'em feisty, it's no fun when they FALL APART SO QUICKLY." Heisenberg didn't conduct the heart of his experiments on living subjects, that was true, but the reaction he was seeing right now? That changed things.

This stranger's will to fight no matter how wounded; the immediate surge of venom upon waking---because no matter how weak and in pain the other looked on the floor of his factory Heisenberg knew the CURL OF A VIPER WHEN HE SAW ONE---that glimmer of fire in his eyes just waiting for the right kindling was...reflective...and that well and truly changed things. That click of the pieces already coming together in his mind was immediate and the Lord latches onto it with an undoubtedly enviable speed: That will was his, that venom was his, that fire was his, no matter how different their METHOD OF CONDUCTION. When I say I'll claw my way out of here I'll claw my way out no matter the damage. When I say I'll bleed to be let out of here I'll bleed no matter the pain. When I say I'll fight my way out of here I'll fight no matter the struggle. When I say I'll bite you I'll bite you no matter the risk and heaven help you if you don't pull away fast enough...

"You AREN'T GOING TO BEHAVE, are you?" Good. Disobedience only gave him an excuse to stoke that will, that venom, that fire, that the two of them seemed to share. Heisenberg extends his arm out to the side as he speaks; his gloved fingers open as if in waiting and then; quick as a flash and with an odd, teeth grating droning sound, a knife that had been stuck into a nearby wall jitters and then all but launches itself into his hand. His free hand then reaches to the opposite side and without even looking thumbs the button of the recorder down allowing a hissing noise to fill what little dead air the room they were occupying had left. "I'll be considering this a SPECIAL TEST SUBJECT; name: Valeriu. No cadou present within his system. Subject has an extreme aversion to the cold and---" There's a brief pause in speech as Heisenberg instead lunges forward and jams the long bladed knife he'd retrieved into the wound he'd created earlier and BEARS DOWN WITH HIS FULL WEIGHT FOR A FEW SECONDS---enough to earn a scream that makes his ears ring, enough to earn a scream that sought to drown out the loudest of his many machines---and then he wrenches it to the side and digs until he hears a distant snapping sound that could mean only one thing: the blade had broken. Leaving a piece inside---one deep enough that it'd be almost impossible to pull out---would be an interesting deterrent. A kind of dog tag, if you will.

The knife---or at least what remained of its blade a jagged ruin--is then pulled free and then tossed to the side carelessly. "----metal." God, he has to sneer his way around the word, with his weight still driving the other mercilessly into the stained concrete. The pressure causes more of that violet colored blood to emerge from the section of the wound that had barely begun to close over, with said liquid seeming to shine under direct light and then turn black as pitch when set against any of the red colored lights emitting from the next room.

"....More notes to follow." There's another brisk clicking sound as he turns the recorder off with an errant piece of metal capable of doing the job; considering his attention refused to tear itself away from his new subject, not even for a second. "I can make this process very, very, very easy for you Valeriu. Normally I don't do my experiments on living subjects---the cadou doesn't usually take, there's too many risks, blah blah, but for you...? For you I'm considering MAKING AN EXCEPTION and do you want to know why? Because you're interesting. Because I FOUND YOU FIRST BEFORE THAT ROTTEN BITCH COULD EVEN CLAP EYES ON YOU and I never give up what's mine---not without a fight, anyhow. So! Let's make things easy, shall we?"

The Lord shifts his weight then; rising in an oddly smooth most in spite of his size and the cramped room, with his fist balled into the other's dark hair. He pulls the other upward as he stands upright before unceremoniously slamming the other into a chair situated on the nearby wall with astonishing force and speed before leaning in just a little bit---just enough that the red light from the next room reflected off of his dark glasses, just enough that it showcased those all too white teeth of his now bared in a deranged grin. "YOU DON'T WANT TO BE THE EXCEPTION, do you? You're going to LISTEN TO ALL OF MY LITTLE DEMANDS and do what I tell you to do and then you'll see---we'll both see---just how long you stay together. Keep my interest, Valeriu, keep it because that's THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE WALKING OUT OF HERE." That will was his. That venom was his. That fire was his. No matter what all of it would be his.

VPN server speed comparison

Title: Comparing VPN Server Speeds: Finding the Fastest Option

In today's digital landscape, where privacy and security are paramount, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have become essential tools. However, not all VPNs are created equal, and one crucial factor to consider is server speed. When choosing a VPN provider, understanding how their servers perform can make a significant difference in your online experience.

The speed of a VPN server can impact various aspects of your internet usage, including browsing, streaming, and downloading. A faster server means quicker loading times for websites, smoother streaming of high-definition content, and faster downloads of files and applications. Therefore, conducting a VPN server speed comparison is essential to ensure you get the best performance for your needs.

Several factors can influence VPN server speed, including server location, network congestion, encryption protocols, and the efficiency of the VPN provider's infrastructure. To accurately compare server speeds, it's essential to conduct tests under similar conditions, such as connecting to servers in the same geographical region and using consistent testing methodologies.

There are several online tools and resources available to help users conduct VPN server speed tests. These tools typically measure metrics such as download/upload speeds, latency, and jitter to provide insights into server performance. Users can also refer to independent reviews and performance benchmarks to gauge the speed and reliability of different VPN providers' servers.

When comparing VPN server speeds, it's crucial to prioritize your specific needs and usage patterns. For example, if you primarily use a VPN for streaming content, you'll want to prioritize servers with high download speeds and low latency. Conversely, if privacy is your primary concern, you may prioritize servers with robust encryption protocols, even if they sacrifice some speed.

In conclusion, conducting a VPN server speed comparison is essential for optimizing your online experience. By choosing a provider with fast and reliable servers, you can enjoy seamless browsing, streaming, and downloading while ensuring your privacy and security remain intact.

Security features of VPN servers

Title: Exploring the Essential Security Features of VPN Servers

In an age where online privacy and security are of paramount concern, Virtual Private Network (VPN) servers play a pivotal role in safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring anonymous browsing experiences. These servers employ a range of security features to fortify connections and shield users from potential threats. Here's a closer look at some of the key security features of VPN servers:

Encryption Protocols: VPN servers utilize robust encryption protocols such as AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to encode data transmitted between the user's device and the server. This encryption ensures that even if intercepted, the data remains unreadable to unauthorized entities.

Kill Switch: A vital security feature, the kill switch automatically terminates internet connectivity if the VPN connection drops unexpectedly. This prevents sensitive data from being exposed to the unsecured network, maintaining user privacy at all times.

Secure Tunneling: VPN servers create a secure tunnel through which data travels, effectively concealing the user's IP address and browsing activity from prying eyes. This tunneling ensures anonymity and protects against surveillance or tracking attempts.

DNS Leak Protection: DNS (Domain Name System) leak protection prevents the user's DNS queries from being exposed to their Internet Service Provider (ISP) or other third parties. By rerouting DNS requests through the VPN server, this feature enhances privacy and prevents potential data leakage.

VPN gaming performance

When it comes to online gaming, having a reliable and fast internet connection is crucial to ensure smooth gameplay and minimize lags. One way to optimize your gaming performance is by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

A VPN can offer various advantages for gamers, such as reducing latency by providing a more direct route for your data to travel between your device and the gaming server. This can result in faster response times and a more stable connection, especially when playing multiplayer games that require quick reaction times.

Additionally, a VPN can also help improve your overall gaming experience by providing an extra layer of security. By encrypting your internet traffic, a VPN can help protect your personal information and gaming activities from potential cyber threats, such as DDoS attacks.

However, while using a VPN can offer benefits for gaming performance, it's important to choose a VPN provider that offers fast and reliable servers. Some VPNs may cause a decrease in internet speed due to encryption processes or server locations. Therefore, it's advisable to test different VPN providers to find one that offers the best performance for gaming.

In conclusion, using a VPN for gaming can potentially enhance your gameplay experience by reducing latency, providing security features, and protecting your privacy. By selecting a high-quality VPN service with fast servers, you can enjoy smoother and more secure online gaming sessions.

Latency impact VPN gaming

In the world of online gaming, every millisecond counts. The delay between your actions and their effects on the game, known as latency, can make or break your gaming experience. One factor that can significantly impact latency is the use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

A VPN works by encrypting your internet connection and routing it through a server in another location. While VPNs offer enhanced privacy and security, they can also introduce additional latency into your gaming sessions. This latency arises from the extra distance your data must travel to reach the VPN server and then the game server, as well as the processing time required for encryption and decryption.

For gamers, even a small increase in latency can lead to noticeable delays in gameplay. This delay can manifest as lag, where actions take longer to register in the game world, or as jitter, where the timing of actions becomes inconsistent. In fast-paced games such as first-person shooters or multiplayer online battle arenas (MOBAs), these delays can be particularly frustrating and put players at a disadvantage.

However, not all VPNs are created equal when it comes to gaming. Some VPN providers offer specialized servers optimized for gaming traffic, which can help reduce latency compared to using a standard server. Additionally, choosing a VPN server that is geographically close to the game server can minimize the distance your data needs to travel, further reducing latency.

Ultimately, the decision to use a VPN for gaming involves weighing the trade-offs between privacy, security, and latency. While a VPN can provide added protection for your online activities, it's essential to consider its potential impact on your gaming experience and choose the best option for your needs.

VPN bandwidth throttling gaming

Bandwidth throttling can be a major headache for gamers who rely on VPNs to enhance their gaming experience. VPNs, or Virtual Private Networks, are commonly used by gamers to improve security, reduce ping times, and access geo-restricted game content. However, when ISPs (Internet Service Providers) detect VPN usage, they may throttle bandwidth, leading to frustratingly slow connection speeds.

The impact of bandwidth throttling on gaming can be significant. Gamers may experience increased latency, causing lag and disruptions in gameplay. This can be especially problematic in fast-paced online games where split-second reactions can make the difference between victory and defeat. Additionally, reduced bandwidth can result in longer download times for game updates and patches, further hindering the gaming experience.

To mitigate the effects of VPN bandwidth throttling, gamers have a few options. One approach is to choose a VPN provider that offers optimized servers for gaming and actively works to prevent throttling by ISPs. These providers often employ advanced techniques to disguise VPN traffic, making it harder for ISPs to detect and throttle.

Another strategy is to manually configure the VPN connection to use a less congested server or to switch to a different VPN protocol that is less likely to be targeted for throttling. Additionally, some VPNs offer features like split tunneling, which allows users to route only gaming traffic through the VPN while sending other traffic directly to the ISP, potentially reducing the likelihood of throttling.

Overall, while VPN bandwidth throttling can pose challenges for gamers, there are ways to minimize its impact and ensure a smoother gaming experience. By choosing the right VPN provider and configuring the connection appropriately, gamers can enjoy improved security and access to geo-restricted content without sacrificing performance.
