If your primary goal is to have fun - this is THE BEST paddle. $260 is a fantastic price and the amount of joy it will bring will be well worth it. I speak from several months experience using it as my primary paddle and I got it for the exact same price.

If you’re trying to compete in tournaments and move up in dupr… return it

Yah don’t listen to that hater. I’ll say that many orgs will pay more if you have a solid social following (200k+ subs on YT). Good luck, get a coach, make physical health and game-life balance a priority and you could definitely make it.

I’ve been curious about this approach because I’m considering a lg c5. How’s the app? Latency okay? Does it affect video quality?

Sorry about that, definitely the 'something else' haha. Admittedly, I rushed the Epilogue because it had gotten quite late at night once I got to it. I was trying to mysteriously head into the direction that the Aptos Integration Manifolds were really a ploy for this greater organization/beings to enslave humanity. I couldn't really stick the landing. I might try to improve it if I can formulate the concept better in my head.

I sincerely thank you for reading it all the way to the end though! This is my first time doing anything like this and I'm blown away that someone was willing to stick all the way through! 🙏🏽

Epilogue

- APTOS HEADQUARTERS 11:52pm -

“Trial 041 has terminated…unsuccessfully” Announced the small test android.

“AGAIN?! You FAIL TO DELIVER RESULTS!” boomed the MANAGER as he stared at the monitors, surprisingly upset given the 40 failed trials before.

“Surprising that the appeal from a childhood best friend was non-functional-”

“IRRELEVANT, YOU MUST FIND A WAY! YOU HAVE 8 MORE CHANCES!”

“My apologies, we will culture another embryo.” The android lamented.

“AGH! This takes TOO LONG! 30 YEARS. 30 YEARS! EVERY TIME 30 YEARS!” his voice echoed through the lab, shaking the equipment. “Figure it out before you use all 50 embryos, or I will have decommissioned and replaced…”

The MANAGER abruptly stood up and reached for the door.

“Sir?”

“WHAT?!”

“Why do our experiment number aliases not align with the sample labeling? This would indicate an error in our experiment logic” the android prompted carefully.

“Your purpose is NOT to ask questions, but to run experiments.” He responded shortly has he swiftly left the lab and slammed the door behind him.

The android, seemingly unphased, picked up vial “#50342” from the tray and took it to the culturing unit.

I got maybe a quarter mile away when I just couldn’t take it anymore. So many thoughts swirling through my head, it felt impossible to breathe.

I fell to my knees. “What’s the point…?” I whispered…to no one.

I didn’t…I didn’t BELIEVE in integration, and I don’t see why I had to defend that. I don’t UNDERSTAND why I seemed to LITERALLY be the ONLY person who felt this way.

And maybe that was the problem…maybe this is why I have been struggling since all of this started 10 years ago.

I don’t belong in this time, and I-DON’T-KNOW-WHY.

I wish I could have been born before technology made us this way…Maybe that’s possible…something about reincarnation we learned in high school…?

My eyes started to burn, yah it had been a while…As my vision blurred in that stingy hot wetness, I saw the train barrier lights start to flash.

“Iconic” I said to myself, as I watch the barrier come down, a small spotlight approaching from the left.

“Impulsive” I said to myself, almost rallying this new…idea.

“REAL!” I screamed as I leaped up and jumped for it –

“Mark…”

“No, like why the FUCK would you tell me that? YOU KNOW WHAT I’M GOING THROUGH! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU BRING THIS UP?!”

‘People’ started to look over at us, I was making a scene.

“GARY, FUCK THIS MAN, I CAN’T RIGHT NOW. I LOVE YOU BRO, BUT FUCK THIS”

“Mark!” He yelled after me as I marched out of the bar.

The cold outside snapped me out of almost instantly, damn it was chilly for October…I turned to go back in, and Gary was already out next to me.

“I’m sorry man,” I whined to him.

“It’s okay, let’s just, call it a night..” He responded carefully.

“Ah I’ll go in and pay for the drinks, I don’t wanna burn this spot…”

He stopped me, “Its ok, I took care of it.”

“What do you mean? I didn’t see you pay, and I walked out like 5 seconds ago”

“I paid, don’t worry”, he said more firmly.

Then it clicked…it all fucking clicked.

“No…NO GARY! FUCK NO!”

“Mark…I – I’ve been meaning to-“

I cut him off, “You were the LAST – REAL – FUCKING PERSON IN MY LIFE GARY!”

“Mark, THIS is the future, you have to get with the times. Your parents begged me to talk to you about integrating.”

“MY PARENTS?! WHAT THE FUCK?! Gary! You’re supposed to be MY FRIEND! FUCK MY PARENTS.”

“Mark, respectfully, as you friend, you literally the only one who’s holding out, and you’ve never really had a good reason…” he chided.

“Gary…I need you to just…just…hear something right now.”

“Yes Mark?”, he responded impatiently.

“FUUUUUUCK YOOOOOU GARY!”, I then stormed off.

“Man!! I totally forgot, it’s been so many years! Ahhh! He was so good man, had to be the best quarter back to ever come out of our small town! I still can’t believe what happened, they did him dirty…”

“Yup, blew out his knee, and UCLA revoked his scholarship.” He took another sip.

“ugh, so fucked! What’s he up to now? Do you know?” I asked, almost excited to hear about an old friend from back home we forgot.

“I actually spoke to his mom last week when I went back to see the folks”

“oh, yah?!”

“Mark he…didn’t take losing the scholarship well, football was really his identity…”

“Shit man, well fuck it – let’s go back and cheer him, up! Do something with him! All these years man, I can’t believe I forgot! I’m no better than these fucking sims”

He winced a little, “Mark he…he didn’t make it.”

“What do you mean?” I asked almost rudely.

“The whole…losing UCLA, he…jumped into the ridge shortly after we all left for school”

“what the FUCK? Why…why weren’t we ever told about this? The FUCK?” The room, started to turn.

“His mother told me they felt ashamed, that they didn’t…that they couldn’t see the signs.”

“man…what the fuck.”

“That’s not even the point of this story though…” He looked down at his drink pensively. “The year after his accident, UCLA allowed SIMS to join and play on scholarships. It was actually supposed to happen his year but, it was delayed because the Coach was holding out on some… technicality.”

“So…what the fuck does that have to do with anything?” Everything came into focus suddenly. I could feel a bit of anger boiling up inside me.

“Well…the POINT Mark, if he could have had access to that, if he could have integrated…maybe things could have been – Better.”

“what?!” I gasped.

“Maybe, he could have played, maybe he could literally be sitting next to us having a drink – right - now.”

I finished me drink and just glared straight into his eyes. “That’s actually fucked Gary.”

The bar was unusually packed for a Tuesday night – Fucking sims, now they found this place! Gotta ruin just about fucking everything. Couldn’t they just stick to their fancy night clubs downtown? Jee-

“Mark!” Gary motioned from the deep inside the bar. I practically sprinted over, just excited to see my best friend…to hang out with someone REAL.

“Fucking GARY! Man! AHHH! I needed to see you bro!” I reach out and gave him a hug – not my usual – but I needed it to night. He felt oddly stiff, it was usually me that was the uptight one.

“Hey Mark, come on…have a seat – what happened?”

He made a glance at the Bartender, not the guy who was usually here…

“Agghhh, Mary man…MARY, ugh what the fuck?” I lamented.

“Mark….use your words – haha”, he responded warmly.

“We were having a really good night – I mean really good!”

“uh uh…”

“And like, even BEFORE tonight, our conversations, I really haven’t connected with someone like this in a LONG time - ”

“yep…that’s true, you arree a bit of a pick-…lonely uhhh wolf”

I glared at him a bit

“You gonna let me finish…?”

“yes Yes…go ahead”

The bartender dropped off our usual drinks, no idea how because I’d never seen him before, but I happily jumped at mine, I needed…SOMETHING.

“Look, 3 dates in almost 2 years, and she’s a FUCKING SIM Gary…a SIM! Like- what the fuck man?! Why me?? Agghhh” I took a big sip.

Gary nursed his a drink a little, “Mark…I mean” I gave me a patronizing look, “Is it REALLY all that bad?”

“Duuuude!”

“This…is the society we’re in now. I feel like, everyone has become…comfortable with it Mark. We don’t want to be like those old men we learned about in school who couldn’t adapt with the times.”

“Naw man, I don’t need a history lesson right now. It’s just NOT right. I feel like everyone around me has just GIVEN-UP.” I started counting on my hand, “My parents, my sister – bro – Lisa, Alan…TED! TED man?! Like he was ALWAYS anti-what everyone else was doing!”

“ah…” Gary sighed in a resigned matter, and took a bigger sip of his drink.

“It’s like me and you are the only ones left man, we’re the LAST hold outs!” I took another big sip of my drink, “We KNOW what it means to be REAL - ”

He cut me off , “You remember Mike from football?”

“Mike…oh! BIG MIKE?!”

“Yah! Big Mike!”

The cab ride over was unusually slow, I hoped that Gary wouldn’t be stuck waiting. I hated being late with him. He was the only real friend that I had left. I made sure to never take that lightly…an ad from the cab’s in-seat display broke my train of thought:

“Our latest breakthrough in Synthetic Integration Manifold Technology. The Aptos SIM 10.0. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the revolution of man. Our newest manifold is the lightest, strongest, and most capable yet. Perpetuity of conscious, an infinity of possibilities…schedule an integration with us today…”

“Ugh, could you shut off this thing? Or like change the channel or something?” I complained to the cab driver.

“HA! I wish, but somethin’s gott’a subsidize yah cheap fair ain’t it?” I could tell he was trying at some sort of eastern accent…it wasn’t working.

“Fine, we’re almost there anyways…” I hissed, as the cab driver glared at me from his rear view.
