I love podcasts but my hands need something to do when I'm just at home and have something I want to listen to. My go to game for the least 3 years has been Skater XL because there is no "losing" the game, its just skateboarding, if you beef it you just try it again or do something else
Stardew Valley or one of the Subnauticas- but I don't think Subnautica would work for everyone, I use it because I'm so familiar with it
God Subnautica was so good
Have you played Below Zero?
I didn’t finish it, it never captured me the same way the original did. The player character’s monologuing really put me off for one
Fair. I personally enjoyed a lot of the gameplay a lot more than the original (and I already loved the original), but I can understand how that stuff might be off-putting
