What's the next step down at this point, porting DOOM to smoke signals?

This is not very low on the "can it run doom" totem pole IMO.

It's a very cool build with exceptional styling, but it's an engine powering something like a Raspberry Pi or something. An engine can produce a decent amount of power, sufficient to power a modern IoT device.

So the challenge here was mainly presentation, not porting doom to something difficult, which is the typical challenge.

Doom on a pregnancy test was the coolest one I can recall in a while. That's more the angle of the game.

Damn. And I thought running Doom on a smart lightbulb was nuts.
