one reason i have such a hard time getting myself to play new games (games i havent played before) and instead always gravitate towards doing some speedrunning stuff or playing minecraft is cause i know i wont be able to listen to music or podcasts or video essays while playing a new game cause a new game requires full attention and listening to its audio and i dont have that level of commitment in me
there are several games i have lying around in my steam library i recently bought that i actually really would like to play but i also have a bunch of stuff i wanna listen to so minecraft it is instead
