You know the rule: if it has a screen and a processor, someone will make DOOM run on it.
Home Assistant just joined the club.
I built a custom integration that runs the real DOOM (1993) inside a dashboard card using js-dos. Binary sensor, session tracking, daily trivia, and a hidden iddqd easter egg. If DOOM runs in Home Assistant, it should behave like one.
