Rogue isn't really obscure considering its the basis of an entire genre of modern games, but it's also the basis of an entire genre of modern games. Dwarf Fortress also has an adventure mode now.

There are countless amazing Japanese visual novels, but they technically have graphics. The most obscure I've played would be Planetarian

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
