Yeah, kinda sick of some of the so called Doom hacks.
I saw one where they claimed they made a pregnancy test play doom. No, the dude got a small OLED display that he hooked up to a computer that ran doom and displayed it, then put the OLED in a pregnancy test, where it normally had a different and likely worse OLED.
That isn’t the point of the can it run doom thing at all
the clickbait so god damn annoying now. it’s like yesterday when there was an article that PewDiePie made an AI to rival ChatGPT and it’s free. no. he vibe coded an LLM workspace. that’s it.
Or the Nostalgia bait articles “the Zip Drive was amazing!” no, no it wasn’t you weren’t there.
The best one I’ve seen is where somebody run Minecraft via a VHS cassette. But that was fine because they weren’t claiming that the old CRT TV was now working as a computer, they just invented a Bluetooth VHS adaptor which in and of itself was quite cool.

Right but how else could they clickbait readers into reading their articles?
Add artificial intelligence somewhere in there
Did researchers just use AI to train ecoli to play doom??? No but watch these ads

Same spirit as the nes “ports” that run an emulator in a rpi in the cartridge
Or when some guy ran Windows 95 with DOSBox on an iPhone and tech publications wrote articles about it.
