By the way, this article didn't fit into the regular news, but it's so crazy and WTF-worthy that I still think it's worth sharing:

Wunderkind builds 'fully compliant RISC-V computer' entirely inside Terraria, then plays Pong on it

A dedicated and possibly magical Terraria player over at the From Scratch YouTube channel has done something that, most likely, I won't fully understand for as long as I live. With only the aid of a mod called WireHead—which "maintains full compatibility with [Terraria's] vanilla wiring system but reimplements it in a much more efficient manner"—Xander Naumenko managed to build a "fully compliant RISC-V computer" inside the 2D game. It even has specs:

• Clock speed: ~5kHz
• Ram: 96kb
• Instruction set: rv32i

Probably not one to run Starfield on. Naumenko spends the video above detailing his five-month, 600-hour journey to create the in-game computer and the "Pong clone" he got running on it. It somehow manages to sound both strangely simple and devilishly complex.
