[[A majestic forest. The GOOFY ELK stands proud on a hillside.]]
Not Simmons: (Off-panel) The noble Goofy Elk! I’ve never seen such a magnificent specimen!

[[NOT SIMMONS and SIMMONS observe the Goofy Elk. Not Simmons levels an awed finger in its direction; Simmons watches it through binoculars.]]
Not Simmons: This is a red-letter day, Simmons! The Goofy Elk is exceedingly rare!
Simmons: Such a frail and vulnerable animal – I wonder what defense at all it has against predators!

[[The view through Simmons’s binoculars. The Goofy Elk turns its goofy stare in their direction.]]
Not Simmons: (Off-panel) It’s looking our way!

[[Simmons and Not-Simmons now bear the visage of the Goofy Elk.]]

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!
