Cool, I thought this was a CPU custom designed for Doom, but I guess that's just a 486 :)

edit: I went to down a quick hole "The historical footnote is that a version of this genuinely happened. SNES Doom shipped with a Super FX 2 in the cartridge, a custom RISC chip with a pixel-plot instruction, because the console's own CPU had no chance. Jaguar and PlayStation ports both moved the rasteriser onto dedicated hardware. Doom's design was shaped by the absence of an FPU, and then hardware kept getting built to catch up with it."

I've had a mysterious Neptune cluster appear on my billing. Never used it, no API key access (or IAM instance profile access, OIDC etc), nothing in my console shows I've ever had one in any region. Raised a case with support, they ignored it.

What's the opposite of pissing off your customers then? Not pissing off your customers.

Pretty simple, you're reading far too much into it, but thanks, it's a while since someone acknowledged my pithy status.
