JAKESY: Can you still hear him? The demon?
ANNIE: Just barely. Scratching a little or – I don’t know. Could be your footsteps echoing. Could be water dripping. Could be my heartbeat. He may have returned to Hades.

JAKESY: We must PRAY this is so!
VARGONATH [[a demon]]: Dude screw you
ANNIE: Every now and then there’s, like, a gasp, pr some sort of weird shuffling?
VARGONATH: I can still totally hear both of you. Still right here. Still gonna POSSESS you. In – in a bit.

JAKESY: ?But the threat is surely over.
ANNIE: Yes, I think filling our ears with wax probably banished him for good.
JAKESY: Sorry, I couldn’t see your lips. Could you repeat that?
VARGONATH: She said you are both idiots

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

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.
