Oh, now I get it. Every Thursday we get a new free game on Epic. That
explains everything.

This week: Relicta
https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/p/relicta

Well, here's another one I've not played. Honestly, based on the
teaser video, I'm not sure I want to. I dunno; I think I have an
aversion to the color purple, and there was a lot of purple in that
teaser. The rest of the game doesn't trigger me the same way - it's a
first-person puzzler, like Valve's Portal series - but neither does it
stand out as anything exceptional. Reviews indicate some of the
puzzles are half-baked and it gets sort of repetitive too. I suppose
if you dig games of the sort - Portal, Talos Principle, The Ball,
Turing Test, A Story About My Uncle, Antichamber; there's a lot of 'em
out there - then you'll get some enjoyment out of this one for its
gameplay, if nothing else.

Me, well, I'll happily add it to the library because, you know, it's
free. I just don't see myself playing it anytime soon.

Epic is part of the Illuminati causing all the political chaos in the
United States and the power grabs by autocratic states around the world?

Fnord.

DT, please remain where you are. THEY will be coming for you
momentarily. Do not make a fuss. It will not help and it will only
upset the others. Thank you for your consideration.

Fnord.

Everyone else, please enjoy the free game. Enjoy the game. It is free.
Games that are free are good. Good games are free. Remember, Epic
loves PC gaming and loves you. There is no ulterior motive.

Fnord.

This message has not been brought to you by a conspiracy of
black-suited men controlling your every thought and action. That would
be ridiculous.

Fnord.

They've already come, been shown something that doesn't exist,
apologized for the interruption and left. ;) Be Seeing You.

The worse thing is there are people who actually believe that. In the UK
we have are very own David Icke although he seems to be focused more on
COVID at the moment and less on the royal family are controlled by
lizard people.

Well, Cliff Bleszinski (a.k.a. CliffyB) always did have a certain
reptilian aspect to him. Except I think he's not part of Epic anymore.
Perhaps he implanted his eggs in other Epic employees before he left?

Is that what these free games are for? Are they secretly digital egg
implantations? Is /that/ why I've suddenly started growing a tail?

The implications of this are all very intriguing...
