OMG I do this with lore videos all the time when I building Lego or doing craft projects (when it’s not disaster or crime videos) I know I’ve watched “Alan Wake 2 Story Explained Video” by gamingharry on YouTube about 4 times before I bought the actual game.
Doing it right now. Lol. Listening to Legend of Billie Jean and playing a game while looking at Blue Sky's posting.... Don't you just love multitasking?
Dear Azul! I keep forgetting to check Bsky, your comics and general prescence is one of my main reasons to have it! I myself get invested on the video)
Most podcasts can still be found by RSS, which can be a bit confusing and feels very early internet-y. But once you know how to use it, it's basically a feed of the stuff you subscribed without an provider who curates for you.
Very real. May I recommend Flawed Peacock, Earlybird, Sagan Hawkes and Majulaar? Some great stuff on their channels. Also huge recommendation for Night Mind if you enjoy unfiction - his voice alone is fantastic to listen to.
In case you ever need more Majuular has an entire retrospective of the Ultima games. Perfect for building a factory or laying down fire upon heaps of demons
History lectures. There's a few lovely history YouTube channels where the presenter has such a nice smooth voice that I can do the long repetitive parts of a handcraft project and learn at the same time. Lovely!
Honestly, I usually put on an "Internet Drama" takedown that's 3 years old and no one even remembers the details of anymore. Swoop does excellent deep dives.
Lathland, whenever he uploads lol.
I love putting his videos on, I watch every second of them, though I don't enjoy him playing Stellaris personally.
His adventure series as of late has been a godsend, hour long videos that I can just put on and enjoy his wonderful insanity.
People performing deep dives on things close to them are always the most enjoyable to watch- you can practically feel the passion they have for exploring the most unimportant-to-us minutiae, and there's something special about that to witness.
Can say I've only encountered this once and it was Hbomberguy's review of Pathologic. Sounds like a horrible game to play but it was a wonderful 2 hour video.

Seriously though, I tend to queue up like 7 or 8 videos before stating anything I know I'll be doing for awhile.
...then at the end of a video I end up invalidating the list but just picking another video from the same channel...

They do excellent work and some of the games are VERY strange

If that's too distracting there's always a 7 hour video of @raynarvaezjr.sucks literally watching paint dry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj43TznS-Es

And I'm like "I'll put it in the maybe pile and comeback to it if I don't find something better."
