Some advice for you, education become less relevant as time moves on and your experience becomes your qualifications.

Get writing a CV and feel good about how good you can make yourself look on paper, and don’t forget that everyone embellishes.

You sound pretty secure in your role now, so feel good about that, but rest assured you’ll move on to a better job either by choice or redundancy and that’s OK.

I know what you mean, but it’s a popular game. Epic suck.

No Fortnite though, sadly

I loved my steam deck, but it was too chunky for me and certainly for my kid.

My compromise is Anbernic type devices. Long battery life, better form factor, lots of ported games too.
