A developer posted their Doom port for the Canon EOS 550D on GitHub. The game uses the Magic Lantern firmware add-on to run on the camera, and uses various camera buttons to play the game directly from the SD card.

spoiler for the joke
Apparently almost nobody got this pun. Perhaps it was too subtle.

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could.
Now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

Just a reminder that AI detectors don't work. You don't fix one broken machine with another.
