Looking at several layers of my government that deny free market on housing so we all have to buy cars.

Surrrrre

There's also a lot of violence, and a fair amount of gore, not kid friendly.

Get medicated.

It doesn't matter what you current or past hyperfixation is, or will be. You will get sick of whatever you study.

You either need to get medicated, or have iron will to get through with sheer discipline.

If you don't, you likely will not pass. So college will be a waste of your time and money. So you should either become a self taught programmer or find a stimulating job with no college needed.

Nvidia shield is the best,

Roku devices are pretty good for less money

Admiral Pasalk may not have been evil, but he was a jerk.

4g of CO2 per email? I find that hard to believe. Probably overestimating emissions like some media did with Netflix.

I've only crowdfunded a handful of gsmes, mostly vr. Because they can't get traditional funding. Despite this I want to support projects that could be interesting. Without Kickstarter these projects would not exist, rather than switch to traditional funding.

I know there's risk, i know they may never get finished. But its worth the risk in case a true gaming gem comes out.

I think you undersell how feature rich steam is for both users and developers.

They offer community forums, reviews, mods through workshop, cloud saves, automatic controller support, openish vr ecosystem (epic cant even do vr, if you buy a vr game you likely need to use steamvr anyway), broad payment and currency options, regional pricing and guidelines, remote play, and more I'm sure.

This is much more feature rich than even console platforms, so I think the 30% fee is justified.

And they do this all without really locking down their ecosystem.

Recent controversy over an absurdly high failure rate.

Might be fixed now, but i wouldn't gamble.

Your best bet is probably to make your own.

Find a high quality NVMe drive and put it in a USB enclosure.

If the USB ports or anything other than the drive fail, the data is easily recoverable.

Given your use case, buying an external drive is probably fine, just don't get one from SanDisk.

Give it a decade and economies of scale, and maybe it will get it down to twice as expensive.

That sounds like a good deal for whoever ends up buying unity
