Yeah, there's nothing more relaxing for me than putting on a comedy podcast and working through a 2D metroidvania game on DS or my hacked Switch. For some reason the two parts of my brain that process audio and that style of game are completely independent.
It's no different than knitting or solving a crossword while listening to the radio 100 years ago.
The only problem is that I only have one more DS and GBA Castlevania game before I've beaten all of them. I've already worked through every Metroid and 2D Zelda game as well as Hollow Knight.
The pickings are getting slim.
- hellisothers 7y agoComparison to knitting and crosswords seems fair for stimuli, I think the difference is during a dinner conversation your knitting wouldn’t be vibrating in your pocket luring you into a “bathroom break” to work on it.

But recently I've noticed that in order to break the next big time barrier for me, I need to dedicate my full attention. No more podcasts. Two different parts of the brain still, but now it's only one active part.
