Weird Ask HN: Game to play while listening to podcasts?
I'm looking for tips for casual (puzzle?) games, playable in the browser or on the Mac for gaming while listening to audiobooks or podcasts.
My go-to games right now are Tetris.com or 2048, so something in that style.
A game where I don't need to read anything, or spend too much attention on understanding the game mechanics, and can focus on the audio.

- filoleg 8y agoNo Man’s Sky. The game originally came out in a very poor state, i refunded it. But after years of persistent and major updates, the game is in a great state now. I dont see any reason why devs went through all that, considering there are no microtransactions or any other monetary incentive to release those updates and improve the game for so long, but the guys are on their way to release another major update this year. The game is mostly space exploration, base building, resource management, and just stargazing. A lot of things look fascinating, but not obtrusive, which allows you to focus on listening to podcasts without any distractions. As another data point: i would say that 8 years ago, my podcast game was minecraft, but I found NMS in its current state to be way better.
