I’d say the sex toys are going to far if they can run Doom.

They can’t. He put extra hardware in it to make it work. But that doesn’t make for a catchy clickbait title, so they left that part out of it.

That’s just lame, if I put my computer in my fridge I wouldn’t say that my fridge is then able to run Crysis.

If you’re using the screen on the front of your fridge and your fridge’s built-in buttons, if your computer is in the door or walls of the fridge as opposed to just chilling on a shelf like a leftover burrito, if your computer doesn’t have its own distinct power source, and if your fridge continues to cool your food like a fridge… why not?

No, it’s not running entirely on the fridge’s hardware at that point, but you did basically hack your fridge to be able to play Crysis.

In this case it does all of the above and also triggers device functionality based off of game events.

Ported in the same way that I could port crysis to my childhood pc from 1995 by putting the innards of my current pc in that old case, and using an hdmi to vga, and ps2 to usb adapters.

Exactly, these clever innovations are some of the few things we get to hear about in our current hellscape.

the creator cracked it open and stuck some extra hardware inside to help the device run Doom.

Wait what. What hardware? I feel like that doesn’t really count? Like I can run doom on my guitar if I stick a computer in there.

Pretty much why “it runs doom” got boring. It turned into “we hooked up a computer to this weird proprietary screen to display Doom” rather than “this weird computer hardware runs Doom”.
