Nah man, my normie wife cannot understand why I’ll have a podcast, audiobook, or TV show going while I play certain video games.
If there’s multiple stories happening it’s harder. I’ll miss stuff and have to rewind a lot. But if it’s like, Forza or Diablo or MSFS or something it works really well and keeps me engaged.
But I realize that’s probably not how everyone works.
It’s not about trying to focus on multiple things. It’s about having multiple novel stimuli from which to pick and choose in the moment when my attention begins to deviate.

Ok, well this ADHD dude cannot understand either. I’m with the other guy, I can’t focus on multiple sources like that at all.
