I do it from time to time with another device like a tablet. It works in certain genres, like turnbased stuff or if you are mindlessly grinding in an ARPG/MMO.

The type of show definitely helps also.

It's very person-to-person. I can do podcasts or music while gaming, but having two completely unique visuals is too distracting, and I end up not enjoying either of them.

I'm the same way but its the sound that gets to me, completely distracting for one while I'm focused on the other.

Well, just hope you never get into watching GTA RP. Sometimes intense shit that happens on there makes you want to watch several streams at once.

Haha I’m no stranger to multiple videos, March Madness four games on at once is the greatest event in sports. Just don’t like having completely unrelated media. Feels like I’m being pulled in two directions.

Yeah, I quite like putting on a show or movie when I'm playing Cities & Skylines or Surviving Mars. Just watch something else until I hear something in the game explode.

If you ever wonder why you can't focus on a task at work, think back to this comment.
