The technology company Husqvarna has revealed that it will be bringing Doom to Automower, its automatic robot lawnmower. Now you can enjoy wiping out hordes of demons while your lawn is being mowed.

​

Unlike the many ports of Doom made for all kinds of devices, the version of the game for the Husqvarna Automower is an official partnership with Bethesda and Zenimax.

The game will only be available for the lawnmower for a limited time, and can be played between April 9 and September 9, 2024. To play, you need to register on the company's official website to receive a code.

It feels like the reasons this probably is a bad idea couldn't be much clearer, but hey, Doom's fun, so...

I'm sure every modern device that has any sort of CPU inside it can probably outperform a 486 CPU from the early 90's, which is what DOOM needs to run smoothly enough.

It's not that interesting anymore.

That's actually a good advert lol.

Because a 15 dollar scientific calculator can so why not? Even toasters have micro computer's that control shit not, we haven't had mechanical toasters and microwaves in god knows how long.

Doom 3 on Xbox ran classic doom, sooo yes.

Doom hacker gets Doom running in Doom

Maybe the ultimate "Doom running on stuff that wasn't meant to run Doom" scenario.

Yo I won’t lie. This is exactly the type of absurd and stupid shit that would get me to buy products. I don’t know what idiot at a lawnmower company pitched “let’s put Doom—you know, that video game with demons—on our lawnmower”, and more importantly what executive was like “now that’s a fucking good idea right there”, but I’m here for it. I absolutely respect this kind of absurdity.

Anyone hating on something this irreverent and goofy is just a wet blanket and not invited to my birthday party.

I guess they are really not hurting for business.

So this is the next Generation Xbox?

Or just an Xbox?

Remember, every screen is a Xbox

 

[Randall365]

But can it run criysis?

 

[nkarafo]

Yeah, no, that's not Doom. That's not even something as complex as the Wolfenstein 3D engine, let alone Doom.

You're four years late, friend.

Nope. That's not Doom either.

The "Doom runs on everything" meme is stupid and misses the mark 80% of the time.
