I’ve seen Doom run on calculators, an Apple Watch, hell I think some guys at MIT got it running on an abacus. There is an old meme about, “but will it run Crysis?” Turns out the Steam deck WILL run Crysis.

But not Doom (1993). Because that’s just too much to ask.

Your last sentence is the punchline of the joke I told… You can tell it’s comedy because the first sentence has an exaggeration so extreme it’s absurd (unless you REALLY think you can run Doom on an abacus). The second sentence references a meme used as comedy (but will it run Crysis). Then I set up the joke by showing how extreme the absurdity goes. How absurd you ask? Why, it’ll play Crysis, but not Doom…

Ha ha… funny…

I will never tell a joke on sh.itjust works again.

The shit just don’t work.

Yeah yeah, we get the irony, but didn't know it was suppose to be funny.
