I like to watch shows while playing video games. Depending on the game is what one I'll pay more attention to

Yes, this. If it's a grind, I'll put on something captivating. If it's story centric, I won't put on much at all. If it's whatever but does require my eyes, I do a podcast. There's a time and a place for all these things depending on the game.

I would take that as a sign to play a better game tbh. Unless it's a multiplayer game and we are waiting on others to form up anyway but then I give most of my attention to something else until we are about ready to go.

Some good games sometimes still have grindy bits so I wouldn't make that assumption. Or it's optional but feels rewarding, etc. Really depends.

But that’s what podcasts and weekly YouTube content is for!
