DAPHNE: Hey! Hey there, little one! Don’t be shy! What’s the matter? What’s the matter, little baby deer?

GORDY [[a fawn]]: Oh, you know?every day I’m increasingly angry at myself for being unable to fulfill the promises I whisper into my pillow in the dead of night

GORDY: “Tomorrow,” I insist. “Finally, TOMORROW will be the day. Mark down today, for it is during this sleep that the old you dies. Tomorrow will be DIFFERENT. At last.”

DAPHNE: You have a pillow?
GORDY: Well I’m not a savage

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.
