Or a video about speedruns of a game I’ve never played.
Every Goomba Glitch in Super Mario 64
Oh, turns out I’m not the only one who does that
Thank you, Hbomberguy!
And Noah Caldwell-Gervais.
And Fredrik Knudsen.
Ooh, new recommendation. I haven’t heard of this person, but the fact you mention them down-thread of two other video makers I enjoy bodes well. If I remember to, I will update this comment after I’ve listened to a video or two from this Knudsen fellow
I’ve got 3:33:34 to kill
I just rewatch old series. If I don’t I’ll be too distracted with the new information.
But you have to be careful right, can’t watch a multi hour video game video about a game you might play. Many a video I’ve skipped from people I’m subbed to because our interests are too similar.

Hats off to my man MrEdders. Yes, I’ll absolutely watch your three hour video on some obscure 90’s FMV noir game!
Is this supposed to be Funny?
It just seems like good advice.
Noah Caldwell-Gervais. Thank me later.
Don’t forget Action Button!
Came here to add Action Button, especially the Tokimeki Memorial episode.
Noted. Will report back with my verdict (if I remember to)
Noah is great. I Finished a Video Game also hits this sweet spot very well.
What does the video add to the experience of doing something else?
Sometimes i need something to keep the dopamine comming to my brain so i can be productive, but sometimes that thing steals all of my focus, so it’s always a gamble
My brain is either at 100% or 0%.
If I’m doing something monotonous, I need something to keep me stimulated, like listening to an audiobook, podcast, YouTube video, or music I can sing to.If I’m doing something taxing, I need some background dopamine to stay focused or I’ll get bored, tired, or unmotivated. I could be tapping, fidgetting, rocking, or listening to music I can move to (but not sing to).
Apparently, your body is supposed to have some base level of dopamine, but some people’s base level is too low. There are links to this and ADHD.
If you have ADHD, it’s literally impossible to work without the background distraction.
For me, it helps me to focus. It feels less like it adds anything, and more like it removes a source of distraction. If that sounds counterintuitive, that’s because it is; Honestly, I don’t know why so many people with ADHD experience this, but having some lightly stimulating background noise is hugely beneficial to keeping me on track
