Comic Transcripts

– PIE! I DEMAND PIE! KEY LIME! BANANA CREAM! CHERRY, APPLE, OR MERINGUE!

– How tragic! A victim of society’s scorn, you cope with the stigma by drowning your sorrow’s in further consumption!

– As interesting as your amateur analysis may be, it fails in one important respect: It does NOT, in fact, produce pie. For me to eat.

– But I understand you! I accept you for who you are!
– I am a man who needs pie. THAT is who I am.

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!
