HERMAN: …and for so long, you were perfect for one another.
Until one day it hits you:
Between the day you met and today, you’ve CHANGED as a person. You’ve GROWN.
And they haven’t. Or at least not in the same way.

HERMAN: What do you do? What do you SAY?
SHERMAN: If the difference between you has grown that great, you need to be frank about it. For both your sakes.

[[Back home, HERMAN has to crouch down low just to fit inside the living room. He towers over his sad-looking wife/girlfriend/partner.]]
HERMAN: This isn’t working anymore.

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.
