Building even an extremely simple video output card is really non trivial. Someone did it on a breadboard here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l7rce6IQDWs
I mean, yeah, an extremely simple video card is maybe. But that little birdy is no Quake at 720p running on a gpu build by a gamedev. I don’t see how it even compares. If I bake a pie which turns out great I can be pretty excited about it, even though it’s non trivial to an actual patisserie, to me as a web dev that pie was a pretty cool project.
I think you’re understanding “non-trivial” to mean the opposite of what it actually is
Inconceivable!
That's sorta what I implied, I was just enhancing your sentiment.
I love that video series!
