    I currently have a Baldur’s Gate 3 stream running in the background and she’s just doing inventory management. My brain can’t handle anything more complicated.

    Audio books are nice. I like short story collections where each story is maybe 20 to 40 minutes long.

        I’m currently going to through the BBC classics ultimate story collection. I also liked the BBC radio 4 rendition of Dorian grey. The radio ones tend to have multiple voices and some special effects. I also loved the blade trilogy by Joe Abercrombie.

        If you like sci-fi, I can recommend the children of time and deepness in the sky. Vernor vinge also has a novella in audio format called fast times at Ridgemont high.

    Might not be up your alley, but there’s a dude called “Just Background Noise” who does various Morrowind challenge runs. It’s neat stuff, but his name is quite accurate. Makes for some great background listening.

      Was about to say the same thing - just annoying it’s not all available online in the UK

        There are a lot of episodes on YouTube, on there official channel and on other channels. Plenty to keep me occupied for a while.

    Nothing.
    I can only focus on 1 thing at a time and there’s already 20 of them at once at any time in my head.

    But I can listen to music. Although it depends on what it is. But not to worry, I can just listen to a single song on loop for hours non-stop.

  • Trackmania gameplay. It’s an arcade racing game, purely skill based, no story to follow. Players will play the same track multiple times until they get a good time, that way you don’t miss anything important if you look away for a while. Probably not gonna work for you if you’re not into the game though.

      trackmania has that in common with basically all speedrunning streams/content. super nice to have in the background since it can be repetitive and you can pay attention if they get a good run going :)

      and there are people who speedrun probably every game you’ve ever enjoyed, so there is plenty of options!

      It’s a fantastic podcast! But I feel like it’s kinda too good to have it in the background

    i like listening to Lily Simpson videos when i’m doing chores and such. Her videos are often fairly long (meaning i don’t need to stop what i am doing to pick another video), easy to take in without having to actually watch with my eyeballs the whole time, and of consistently high quality.

    I often have ASMR videos playing in the background while I play chill games or at work. It relaxes my mind and helps me focus
