EDWIN: Well, here’s the thing. I told my wife we could get a dog.

EDWIN: But I hate dogs! They’re so yappy and petulant. If I wanted that, we’d just have kids.

YVES: So why’d you say yes?
YVES: You figure she’s gonna do it anyhow, might as well give it the ol’ blessing?

EDWIN: No, I thought she would reciprocate by getting me a Darth Vader mediation egg for the living room.
YVES: And…?
EDWIN: She is SO bad at reading my subtle hints.

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.
