Today, YouTuber Samperson (Sam Chiet) demonstrated that helium has Doom running successful Notepad astatine 60 frames per second. Yes, this is Notepad the basal substance exertion programme that comes preinstalled successful each Windows computer, but it’s utilizing its substance to recreate the visuals of Doom.
