I love the absolutely crazy things happening in the retrocomputing space right now. We have these chips with many, many orders of magnitude more computing power available for peanuts, and the obvious thing to do is apparently to cram them into these ancient machines for fun. Throwing a bunch of compute into a cart and using the "real" computer as a very bad GPU is such a fun idea.

  Action Retro just posted a video of an AppleII card based on the ESP32. It plays Doom
