    My friend who's still in college has teachers that don't really pad out the lesson plans well at all, so he's been doing this constantly with anything he can install to alleviate the boredom. Steam isn't blocked on the college's computers (at least not in the computer science or engineering departments) and installed programs simply go to a cloud folder for each student so you can just install some things and then delete the installation folders when you're done as to not fill your cloud storage. I never tried BeamNG but wish I had while I was still there lol. I remember playing a lot of Left 4 Dead 2 in some CAD and electronics lectures

    I go to a Votech school and they ended up getting rid of their aging 6th Gen i7 all-in-ones (Aging mostly because of the HDD). When they upgraded, they went to crappily made HP Pavilion Gaming systems with Ryzen 7s and 3060s

    We used Stone SFF PCs and Stonebook laptops. All of them were Ryzen 5 Pro 5000 series with 16GB DDR4. Some of the stuff in the other classrooms were Optiplexes and Inspirons with 7th or 8th gen i5s but they were only for very light CAD and mainly for writing technical reports. I think the ones I would've been playing on occasionally would've had Vega 8 graphics.

    I can run it ok on my school computer. I have to be really bored to use it though.
