"you can even plug in a keyboard"...
To play Doom...
That's running in a key on your keyboard...
Not sure why he didn't take the extra step of tying in the power and keys from the USB keyboard the keycap is living on. I feel like that shouldn't be too hard
What exactly is the obsession of putting DOOM of all games into any hardware over other games?
It's a fine enough game, but definitely not the game of choice I would choose if I were to choose an old game to be put in random hardware.

This might answer your question
Really clear a cool. It makes sense it goes everywhere
It's easy to port, has low system requirements, and it's funny to see it run on a toaster.
Hackaday is the epitome of "because we can".
