That's true, but I don't think it's the same to shove in attiny/arduino/whatever in place of original motherboard/cpu and building your own 'doom-machine' with off-the shelf parts, specially if you replace/recreate user interface too. The masturbator on the post link is obviously a different thing, even if it's using a separate hardware to actually run doom there's some hacking involved to get the toy to 'fire' based on game events, but even then the toy itself doesn't run doom.
The better, but less clickbaity, title would be 'I hacked my sex toy to respond into game events' or something like that. And that on itself is a interesting enough topic to go with, regardless if it runs doom or not. And as a side note, I bet there's people who would pay actual money to get a hold of that kind of gadget. Actually, I'm surprised if there isn't any on the market already which would tap into force feedback commands from directX or something to provide 'haptic feedback' with a toy like this.
