Comic Transcripts

[[Angry-looking boy and disgusted girl come upon a hat-wearing child with a train.]]
I don’t care about hats. It’s the kids in hats’ culture I object to.
LOOK!!

Where’d you get that train?
[[Hatted boy looks forlornly at the unhappy pair, knowing full well what will become of him.]]
YOU don’t get to DECIDE who DOES and DOESN’T get to play with trains!

[[Hatted boy lies on the ground, bent into odd shapes and clearly maimed.]]
As I was saying, theirs is a contemptuous and savage culture.

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!
