Disclaimer
I am a casual using hacks and amateur knowledge to translate.
There's at least one line here I'm not 100% sure on. If it sounds weird / doesn't flow, that's on me. Sorry!
Please refer to Hetascanlation's work (when they get there) as the definitive translation.
Translation Notes
General:
Fonts are swapped around based on their tone/volume, so it might look random, but I'm just trying to replicate the original font choices.

• France does indeed use the legal phrase of "filing a countersuit" here, which might emphasize his straight-laced approach to the card game.

• Tetris is a puzzle video game created in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnov, a Soviet software engineer, where players complete lines by moving differently-shaped pieces that descend onto the playing field. The completed lines disappear and grant points, and the player can proceed to fill the vacated spaces. The game ends when uncleared lines reach the top of the playing field, and the longer the player can delay this outcome, the higher their score.
• It is widely considered to be one of the greatest video games ever created, and comfortably sits atop the list of all-time bestsellers with more than 520 million copies sold worldwide (circa 2024)!!
