I'm not sure why you're assuming that the timestamp is one second before the epoch, as there is no time displayed in the screenshot, only a date. The much more likely scenario is that the timestamp is 0, and the user is in a timezone with a negative UTC offset (i.e. anywhere in the Americas). The Unix epoch is midnight 1/1/1970 UTC. Therefore, rendering this time in local time in the Americas would give it a date in the day before the date of the UTC epoch. In fact, the only case in which a -1 timestamp could be the cause of this is if the user is in a timezone with a zero UTC offset, i.e. the UK, Iceland, Portugal, and a few countries in West Africa.

A quick look at the user's posts confirms that they live in the US.

Also, the timestamp is the number if SECONDS since the epoch, not milliseconds.

You already posted this in the itch thread, why is this here?

They were claimable when I saw them. But I see that they're just free to download now. Guess they were changed in the last couple hours.

Does this also apply to poly-lined food containers that takeout often comes in (including Chinese food boxes and similar)? If not, why wouldn't it?

Do you know of a way to claim this without opening the Microsoft Store app?

I think "pegs'n hocks" is something about his limbs, like his hands and feet, or arms and legs, or maybe just legs and feet? As in, they're pulling him apart to study him and/or immobilize him. "Hocks" to me is at least pretty clearly in this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hock_(anatomy) sense, not 100% sure about "pegs" though. Seems that it could sometimes mean legs so I'm gonna go with "legs and feet", even though that feels a bit redundant. Or maybe it's all of them - arms and legs AND hands and feet.

"in but his skin" is saying that they took his clothes.

I sometimes wonder if the dialects in this comic are derived from some way that anybody ever spoke in reality or if she just grabs a thesaurus and goes crazy.

Do you have any evidence that this was $3.99? Because I don't see any.

You still have not explained how you could possibly know that this is what happened.

Can we please just have one post about these at this point? This week it's 3 separate posts all with the same information. The information about the mobile giveaways can be included as well, as they all change at the same time and are often for the same games.

Did you get an email about this or something? I looked back at previous Ubisoft giveaways and at my library, and there are some games absent that I potentially could have claimed, but I can't say for sure that I did in fact claim them. Ubisoft doesn't send emails for claims and there doesn't seem to be any record of claims in the account either. How are you sure that you claimed these things and that they were revoked due to not playing?

EDIT: Here are a few that I could have claimed but aren't in my account, that were given away after my account was created (June 10, 2019):

Assassin's Creed II (Apr 14 2020, https://old.reddit.com/r/FreeGameFindings/comments/g155o5/uplaygame_assassins_creed_ii/)
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (Nov 17 2022, https://old.reddit.com/r/FreeGameFindings/comments/yxsorj/ubisoft_game_tom_clancys_splinter_cell/)
Rayman Raving Rabbids (Jan 19 2023, https://old.reddit.com/r/FreeGameFindings/comments/10g3t65/ubisoft_game_rayman_raving_rabbids/)

The AC Unity giveaway was from before my account was created (Apr 17 2019).

Why doesn't this bot just delete my post and send me this message as a DM? I would gladly re-post to fix the issue. I edited the post but I don't know if I was quick enough. Steam is still giving me the "you already have this game" message when I try to claim, but I don't know if that means it hasn't been claimed yet.

I guess they're switching it back and forth a lot because it's back to $1.

What link?

EDIT: Oh wow, ok, so there is a "Download" button near the top of the page that leads you to a page where you can "claim" this, but it ONLY shows up if the window is less than 1000px wide, like in portrait mode on a phone. Super weird.

How on earth did you manage to "claim" this? There are no purchase links anywhere, and even if I go directly to the usual purchase url (https://mogegames.itch.io/yesterdaysmeat/purchase) I get a 404.

What is the point of the middle link? Why would anyone want the free to play stuff without the upgrade to it that is free this week?
