I have been playing a lot of FTL during the last 3 or so weeks... probably played about 15 matches of Blood Bowl during that time as well (singleplayer)... and the occational few hours here and there with Cities Skyline.
One thing to note is that during the past several weeks I have more so been in a mood for watching and listening to stuff, and only a little bit on playing games... so all of these games that I have choice to play make it possible for me to at the same time watch/listen to things like podcasts, youtube programs/podcasts/stuff, twitch, and certain tv-series/programs (series/programs which require more attention then half listening and glancing at it does not work for me if I want to play a game at the same time, or series I am REALLY into that I do not want to miss a single second of what is going on). Due to that the games them selves must to some extent be a certain way, for me to be able to combine them with another activity.
It's mostly due to how my attention and focus tend to work. Where most people's attention and focus ability is like an adjustable flashlight, mine tends to be like a laser... I get so focused on what I do normally that everything outside of the thing I am focusing on basicly does not exist anymore for me... And if something/someone else is constantly trying to pull my attention away from it, it feels to me like... hmm... imagin driving a car where your passanger has access to their own brake pedal, which they are basicly stomping hard on every 5-10 seconds. If all that makes any sence.
