I played games on my gaming laptop in college because I already knew the course material. My flavor of neurodivergence also makes it easier to listen if I have something visual to focus on, but I was just there to get a paper that said I know what I know. Kinda interesting to me that people are so riled up about what others are doing in class when it's not always disruptive though.
