Produce RSS feed and unify game / engine feed parsing

This resolves #18. In the end, I threw away the solution I had based on the 11ty import plugin (for which I had required an upstream fix which was only recently merged). That's because the 11ty import solution basically required fetching the feeds twice: once when fetching rss feeds, and once w...

We had an open source video game night at our house last night and it was a lot of fun! Some of my family and friends came. There was a mix of kids and grownups. People enjoyed SuperTuxKart. They would grab a controller and play some SuperTuxKart soccer or racing, and then drift off to get pizza or chat with people. After convicing them that the games were for grownups too, I had some intense races with my brother-inlaws 😃🏁 🚗 💨 !

We also had Luanti available. Fewer people played it because (depending of the game) it's a little harder to play casually. But my 4 y/o and his cousin loved it! They were happily punching blocks and occasionally asking me to do the command to make it daytime. It's so fun to see kids learning how to play a game and really getting into it.

Burner Todo progress report:
Some custom styling is added to make it look nicer. I also found a way to compile the Python code into C (using Nuitka) to make it more performant, smaller in size. And the AppImage version is also done, except there are still some desktop integration issues, AppImageLaucher and other tools can't integrate it for some reason. Will figure out what's the issue.
