It’s a fun concept, nonetheless, although it doesn’t really have the same effect removed from the context of an actual website. If I’d encountered it after trying to log on to do taxes, for example, it’d really stand apart from the usual fare asking you to identify all the buses you’d most like to lick or whatever. Sadly, you’re unlikely to see this one in the wild, as it’s really just an elaborate advertisement for frontend-as-a-service productVercel(thanks for the spot,TechCrunch). It’s also one that’s been done before, albeitin a different formthat I actually found far more playable.
As is customary whenever Doom On A Thing occurs, I must now list all previous instances ofDoom On A ThingRPS have covered in the past. Partly to uphold tradition, but mostly to spur on venomous comment discourse over what really counts as ‘running’ Doom. Ahem:
Balatro,Fortnite, anelectric toothbrush,your lawnmower,Teletext, ajailbroken tractor, aNintendo Game & Watch, apregnancy test,gut bacteria, andrat neurons in a jar. The first person to write a narratively cohesive short story using all these objects gets a nice biscuit. The biscuit cannot run Doom. Yet.
