wrote an I2C core, added some registers to access through it, plugged the bus in oh no it doesn't work after twenty minutes of headscratching i realize i didn't actually give the FPGA any clock to run on

Reminds me of a redstone computer with a 'variable-length clock' -- it raised clock when the current instruction was finished. To halt, all you had to do was not send a clock pulse.
I've always liked Wireworld for this kind of thing. You have an implicit clock since it's a simulation, so serial data works great and you can just store bits in a loop of wire. It's beautifully simple. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireworld

You can actually build a proper (not really too esoteric) computer in a reasonable amount of space. https://www.quinapalus.com/wi-index.html pic.twitter.com/MkXt53BexR

... aaaand that reminds me of looped(?) repeater memory, implicitly clocked by the game's redstone ticks. Don't know anyone who used it, but... There was also something in the real world iirc! Vibrations down a coiled loop of wire? I think?

Reminds me of kohctpyktop by zachtronics.

So essentially delay-line memory?

Yup!
