Inaccessible Island Rail (#6) is my favorite, because none of these words imply anything about what the species is going to be

I've played Cultist Simulator too! I remember winning (ascending) just once after quite a few hours. The aesthetics and sound design in that game fit together real nicely, and I always suggest to my friends to play that game blind

I can provide 2 examples of text in games that I've never been tired of reading:
- OSRS quests: Even though the "press spacebar in quests" meme still applies, the quest dialogue box is small enough - with a decent sized font [1]- that I don't feel tired reading through the tidbits one box at a time
- Control: I'm a big fan of SCP so I have an _incentive_ to go through all of the collectible files, then read through them. In this instance, having optional incentivized reads massively boost my enjoyment of the game.

Here's a video that brings more perspective from My Deep Guide who reviews quite a whole lot of e-ink devices (timestamped for relevant part): https://youtu.be/K79MPnPq4_M?t=508
The thing that stood out for me is the way they push for a subscription as you purchase your device. The Marker Plus used to be $99, but they inflated the price to be $129 so that if you choose the Connect plan, it "slashes" the price back to $99 - how it originally cost before, according to the video.

For context. Runelite HD is an graphical overhaul plug-in to go with Runelite, the de-facto 3rd party client for OSRS players. The project has been announced a while ago and regularly updated (teased).
This morning we learn that the plug-in would have been released today, but Jagex has asked the developer to shut it down.
A side by side comparison, as an example of how the graphics plug-in would look when enabled: https://old.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/k5lp5s/ferox_enc...

Forgive me, I meant "user". Thank you for the correction

I have never seen an app developer berate a customer for saying that ads are disgusting, but that changed today. From one of the review's replies"
"You, instead of Puffin, are disgusting. You are OK to pay for the phone. You are OK to pay for the mobile data. You are NOT willing to pay for the app that you use extensively. You need to fix yourself for not being disgusting."

Just went to the site and spent 5 mins rooting for the guy trying to finish the q p w thingy from RuneScape. What a legend that was
Edit: He finished - https://i.imgur.com/SxOWD1A.png
