Both are from the same dev and follow the same monetization model where they offer a fair number of free levels and sell 16 new levels for like 1 dollar or currently like 79 cents. They're both a pretty mindless thing to work on while listening to stuff

MODERATORS
You need something slow or brainless so that it doesn't interfere with properly understanding what is being said.
I'm gonna say Project Zomboid or driving games.
always liked playing pokemon while listening to slop in the background, esp. when I'm just replaying a game as nuzlocke challenge or what have you

Moonstone Island. Has elements of Stardew, Pokemon, and Slay the Spire. Very Ghibli vibe and once you get going, you can just do calm repetitive tasks.
Brotato ($3), Satisfactory ($16), Dwarf Fortress ($25), Crystal Project ($10), Astlibra Revision ($20), Monster Sanctuary ($5). Prices in USD and from current Steam sale which will end 1/4/24.
Dwarf Fortress is also available free on the Bay12 website from the devs. Truly one of the greatest works of 21st century art.
I’ve been vibing with Diablo 2 Resurrected (single player) recently. I played a ton back in the day, but never really played through single player before. Having to find all your own gear and level yourself is super fun.

- Most "bullet heaven" games (Vampire Survivors, Rogue Genesia, etc.)
- Returnal (once your lizard brain can take over playing completely)
I played a ton of Minecraft modpacks while listening to The Deprogram last year. This year I listened to a lot of TrueAnon and Blowback while playing Satisfactory.
Rimworld, factorio, satisfactory, minecraft, build games in general
I play Rimworld when I want to focus more on something else than the game.
FTL, Rimworld, MMORPGs (the grindier the better), grand strategy games (Victoria 2, Europa Universals 4, Stellaris, etc), Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Valheim, Binding of Isaac, Risk of Rain, Super Auto Pets, and Mount and Blade off the top of my head. Also sports management games.
A personal pick and perhaps controversial is that I like to play Souls games with a podcast on, specifically on reruns or NG+
Edit: Also nobody has mentioned the Civ games yet, they deserve a shout
Russian roulette
My favorite game but it doesn't go well with podcasts
My damn headphones keep getting in the way of the barrel
