Age of Empires II: KANGZ edition
>listening to something while playing
abominable
play some ys. ys origin, ark or 7 are very good games to make you happy(unless you start on hard)

>playing Falcom games while listening to podcasts
Sounds fucking awful you'd miss the God-tier soundtracks

Not OP, but I tried Ys Origins a few days ago and it was just mindless attack spamming, I guess that's what OP is asking for but god damn it was boring.

Any Diablo like should do. I'm in love with Grim Dawn atm you should try it.

That's why I said it's abominable to listen to anything while playing you fucking stupid autist
You shouldn't listen to anything other than the game soundtrack

>it was just mindless attack spamming
That's 100% false. Actually this is a /v/ meme. In japanese RPGs you have two options: Ys combat or Persona (Dragon Quest/FF).
Both are somehow repetitive but Ys games are never repetitive specially if you read the dialog and follow the story

this, but I was the other way around because listening to shit makes the grind bearable.

What if the game doesn't have a very good soundtrack, or if you're just playing a game while listening to a podcast and not actually trying to get immersed in the game world?
Minecraft and Terraria are good choices but will require a keyboard.
RuneScape (07) is good too, though I wouldn't recommend some of the more complicated quests, or any quests at all really since the dialogue is actually worth reading usually.
I used to listen to stuff while grinding shit in WoW too but I stopped playing that about a month into Legion

Rogue-lites and RTS are great for playing while listening to other things
how fun is stardew valley? I'm thinking of getting it
can i play it with a touchpad on a laptop or will that suck

>What if the game doesn't have a very good soundtrack
Then put music but never listen to someone talking

>listening to podcasts
How much of an insipid brainless idiot must one be

i watch/listen to the joe rogan experience. its a great show, but it feels weird to just sit and watch a discussion on my one monitor and do nothing with my other screen.
no need to be mean.

I listen to podcasts while programming and trading stocks
What do you do, sasquatch?

That sounds like shit. After my first playthrough of any Dark Souls game I'll start playing with new character builds whilst listening to podcasts. I currently have 550 hours in DaS3 and easily 450+ of those hours were spent while listening to podcasts.
Not simple/mindless, but turn based games like Civ and Heroes of Might and Magic could work.
I do this with most Paradox and Firaxis games.

>Civ
this is exactly the type of game i am talking about
civ was my go to game but i have grown pretty tiered of it
i put about 50 hours in civ vi but don't really like it as much
'mindless' probably wasn't the right word to use
i am more looking for games that don't require frequent attention, i guess
