Pull request overview
This PR updates the project’s public-facing documentation (GitHub README and GitHub Pages) to replace promotional/superlative phrasing with more neutral, factual descriptions, consistent with Cryogenic’s role as a reverse engineering effort.
Changes:
- Rewrites the “About the Project” descriptions in
README.mdanddocs/index.htmlto remove subjective language and keep a factual tone. - Rewords the Spice86 description to remove comparative/marketing phrasing while retaining the technical explanation (hybrid execution, .NET 8, overrides).
- Flattens the GitHub Pages hero subtitle into a plain factual one-liner.

PR description says to remove bold/emphasis on “fully playable”, but README still contains emphasized "fully playable" in the Status section (line 105). Please align the README status text with the stated intent (either remove the emphasis there too, or update the PR description/scope).

Description of Changes
Strip subjective and promotional language from
README.mdanddocs/index.html, replacing it with neutral, factual descriptions.README.md & docs/index.html (mirrored changes):
Rationale behind Changes
Subjective superlatives and comparative dismissals of other tools read as marketing copy rather than documentation. A reverse engineering project is better served by accurate, scannable prose that lets the work speak for itself.
Suggested Testing Steps
Read both the rendered GitHub README and the GitHub Pages site (
docs/index.html) and verify no hype language remains while all factual content (SHA256, build instructions, Spice86 feature list, contributing steps) is intact.
