It's 2025! Let the Squid Games Begin!!! (A Gymnasium of Spoilers)
Merry New Year! Seong Ji-Hun, aka #456, is back for another round of Squid Games and so are we. It seems Netflix dropped a belated Christmas gift in their subscribers' laps in form of the Korean dark dramedy: Squid Games Season Two.

How to cope when the voting majority keeps screwing you over.
What to do when your expensive mercenaries' GPS system fails.
Why a simple risk assement saves lives.
Why when you see something, it's important to say something, especially when you are trapped in gymnasium on a remote island engaging in murderous mayhem with strangers for money you most likely you won't live to spend.
