MODERATORS
Definitely fall into this category. Commentary/ video essays about games are my go-to for background noise.
Commentator: “Here’s my 100-hour video essay on what King’s Duty 8, an award-winning game, could have handled differently, with another 40 pages of annotations.”
Game Developer at 4:50 PM: “Ok whatever, we didn’t fix the cutscene bug but at least it doesn’t crash. Time to go home and not think about video games all weekend.”
Game Production Manager: "Nobody is going home until we get this bug ironed out. You don't have to come in this weekend if you don't want, but we won't renew your contract if you didn't."
