Smackems 07/26/20 5:01:06 PM #1:	I used to listen to podcasts while playing games. I would turn down everything on the game except dialogue and would constantly listen to podcasts. I would pause them just long enough to hear what characters were saying in game But with FF7R and P5R I wanted to hear what was going on in game so bad that I just quit doing it cold turkey. Now I can actually enjoy the games I play more instead of trying to split between two different things Another positive side effect is that I'm far less bothered with political shit. I listened to a lot of political stuff, and it was really burning a hole in my soul. I still listen to a bit, but man it's nice not having it bear down on me so much Blogfaqs --- Common sense is the most uncommon thing in the world-some dude. <cite>Smackems posted [p:942615974] in FF7 and P5...

markconigliaro 07/26/20 8:11:29 PM #35:	There are only 2 occasions where I turn the game volume down and watch Youtube videos on my second screen (PC games). First is grinding, like in the Borderlands games when I'm grinding for guns or grinding out characters with 3+ playthroughs each. Or for Switch games I'll take it out of the dock and watch TV while grinding. Second is games I don't give any fucks about the music. Literally right now I have Slay the Spire on my second screen while I watch Youtube videos and type this. I'll also play Total Warhammer 2 and Civ 6 in with no sound because who cares about the sound for all of those games.
