    Eeep! I'm running late with the announcement! I'd better crank this
    out before rms beats me to the punch. That's /MY/ punch, dammit!


    ----

    * TOMAK: Save the Earth Regeneration https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/tomak-save-the-earth-regeneration-c1207c
    Another Epic exclusive. Apparently it's a remaster of a
    2001 game. But more than that I can't tell, because the
    Epic game store is so useless about letting you know what
    the game is about. Apparently you're a head in a flower-pot.
    No idea what the game is actually like, though. The weirdness
    is appealing, but I'm not sure there's enough game there.


    * Clone Drone in the Danger Zone https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/clone-drone-in-the-danger-zone-4daf6e
    A blocky arena-fighter where you slice-n-dice your way
    through voxel-made enemies in an attempt to get out of
    captivity. I'm not a fan of the blocky aesthetics, and most
    of the fun in the game is apparently in the challenge
    mode rather than the narrative. It's just not my thing.

    Did I make it? Did I beat rms? Do I get the punch! I deserve the
    punch! Give me my punch!!!!!

    See you in seven days.

    Actually seems like the head in a pot is like your pet/plant from the
    video. Definately weird enough I took it. I may even try it at some point.

    Oh, the drinkable sort of punch. I was expecting something different.
    But I guess this is okay too.
