Audiobooks with video games that don't have dialogue are what got me into books
I have a handful of "low focus" games for podcasts, audiobooks, youtube video essays, etc.
Vampire Survivors, or almost any "bullet heaven" type game works well. Old School Runescape also has a ton of ways to skill grind with minimal attention needed. Turn based RPGs with minimal story are great too.
Played through a handful of Pokemon randomizers and romhacks while binging King of the Hill.
But the king for me for a while was Elite: Dangerous. Hop in my cargo ship, use spansh road to riches to generate a trading route, and binge stuff while flying fron planet to planet in supercruise.
OSRS player here with 20 years under my belt for RuneScape as a whole and the amount of books I've read throughout those years is astronomical.
Interesting idea. Which games did you like?
Binding of isaac and many rougelikes fit pretty well, a lot have vert good music but I like taking on a book more(also book recommendations would be the golgatha series for magical wild west, johannes cabal series that's the adventures of a decent but unfriendly necromancer, john dies at the end is a cosmic horror comedy series, space team is stupid fun scifi, oh and the black company follows a fantasy mercenary group who are sine of the very best but also too threatening to not be betrayed by the employers that's mostly told from the perspective of their medic
Sounds like some good book recommendations. I like black comedy and scifi. John Dies at the End is one that I've heard of before. Thanks!
It's awful but I always come back to the mcdonalds part of john dies at the
I need to try audiobooks. I generally struggle with auditory input, but that's mostly if I'm trying to dedicate all my focus to it. Games + audiobooks might be my jam
when i really really want to read something ill usually pick up both the audiobook and the ebook so i can actually fucking focus on it.
