there is a special place in hell for these scientists

  A ‘digital rendition of Hell’… you even Doom bro?

  Wasn’t the original Doom a digital representation of Mars and its moons: Phobos and Deimos?

      Shareware Doom

      Aka why most people thought Doom 1 was so short.

    Yes, but with a dimensional portal to Hell opened on them. Or where do you suppose the demons come from.

      But you’re the demons, John.

    Yes, but IIRC they just happened to be the location of the hell portal that humans disturbed, and hell started leaking out. The depiction of Phobos and Deimos as hell-like was after the leakage. The third part of original Doom was back on Earth when the leakage had spread there, and it looked exactly like the hell of the Mars moons.

    I wouldn’t bet money on that being exact, but that’s how I remember it.

    Only the first episode of levels. The rest of them are literally in Hell.

  So we can do this with functioning brain cells but we can’t have abortions? Seems a bit… fucked

  Is it ThoughtEmporium or are other people doing it too?

    Yah this isn’t arcane mad science, it’s just using organic chemistry to make simple processors. We’re as far from “growing a conscious brain in a jar” as we are from traveling to Alpha Centauri.

    The Thought Emporium is trying to do it on the cheap using Gatorade (or something similar) as a growth medium and making their own circuit boards.

    Good call. I haven’t seen anyone play doom in skyrim yet.

  If I imagine I am playing Doom accurately enough, does it count?

    Nah, you take a normal brain and give it CTE or make it have a stroke.

  It used bullet spray to spell out “kill me”. But the scientists missed it because there wasn’t enough video memory to keep the writing on the wall.

  fuck them. these scientists should be excuted for captial treason.

    They just made a basic microcontroller out of organic chemistry, relax and learn even basic science before you get bent out of shape by the next sensationalist clickbait headline.

  Does anyone have a link to the original scientific paper?

  source

  • TechLich@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I don’t think they’ve actually published this one? They have a bunch of related publications and they released the code on GitHub though.

  Special place in hell
  Playing DOOM

  I see what you did there. Top marks, no notes

  As it turns out, Doomguy is a robot clone of BJ Blazkowitz, who was deliberately smuggled onto Mars by scientists who knew about Hell.

  The filthy rich are already cloning organs for longevity so this seems like child’s play. /s

  Funny just finished listening to John Romero audiobook DoomGuy wonder what he think of this?
