Comic Transcripts

– You know what’s weird? Our kids will be-
– Whoa, whoa, hold your horses there, buddy. OUR kids? / Like, offspring resulting from some hypothetical union of you and me? I don’t know what sort of abnormal philandering you’re hinting at, but leave me and my chromosomes out of your sick plans, okay?

– Actually, I meant “our kids” in the general sense, as in “a future generation of society”.
– Oh.

– I was gonna say, our kids will be incapable of conceiving a world before the invention of the internet.
– Dude, I’m incapable of conceiving a world before the invention of the internet.

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!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
