To be honest you can get Cave Story for free already since it’s open source and in many distro repos. Also I think the publishers kinda ripped off the original creator so the guy who actually put the work making this masterpiece isn’t getting anything

It’s the best easiest thing ever

FreshRSS is what I use and I can create my own feeds using X path, it’s kinda great but too much to explain. I wrote a blog about it.

FreshRSS, news and websites fetched your way. You can even create feeds for websites that don’t provide one
