I've been trying to learn Dutch while playing Motorsport Manager.

Stardew Valley is a belting shout though.

Could always try N+

Stardew Valley, for sure,

I might have mentioned I only have a PS3 and a crappy PC

If I had the next gen I'd be looking at No Man's Sky.

No Man's Sky is a mistake. It was hyped up and up, but became a let down real quick. One of the worst failures in recent gaming history.

Um, you could go with Beyond Good and Evil. It's for the PS2, and although I had an Xbox 360, and now an X1, I am getting a PS4 soon, so I don't know if PS3 supports backwards compatibility. 

EDIT: I forgot you need a game with little to no sound.

Have you played Journey? I'm pretty sure that's for the PS3.

Contrarily, I'd say No Mans Sky is the perfect game you're looking for (albeit on PS4). There's been many times I've spent a few hours with Spotify playing some new albums while I've just cruised around exploring the galaxy. It's a disappointment in that it didn't live up to the massive hype but its by no means a bad game.

Old school RPG's are the best for that. Sometimes I miss games that rely on text rather than voice overs.

I think XCOM is great for this sort of purpose. It's turn-based, so there's no need to be 100% focused at all times, and you can generally potter around at your own pace.

Didn't they have a pretty big update to No Man's Sky relatively recently and it's getting actually decent reviews now?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good game to play while listening to podcasts? Something sound matters little in? Minecraft and old GBA games are my go to games for this but I've tired on both things. Don't Starve looks like it may work.

Tokyo Jungle. 

Don't Starve is fine, but I think there are subtle audio cues that are helpful to hear. 

Given our mutual love of the crying naked game, Spelunky, Risk of Rain, Nuclear Throne.

I have no idea, I've been occupied with other stuff since before that update >_>

Fair enough! Just checked the reviews on Steam and the recent views are mostly positive and a lot of the comments also reference how it's a better game since the update.

There was a No Man's Sky thread here before. I actually have not had the chance to go around and play it recently, but I probably will sometime in October. I actually really enjoyed the game when it was released. It was not perfect, but it was a good game to spend a couple hours playing.

Apparently the game got better. But I haven't touched it since a day after release

Funny you guys are talking about No Man's Sky. I got an email from GameStop yesterday and they have it for only $20.

Get it and we can play togeth... oh wait.

Note that GS is also doing B2G1 on preowned items.  Nabbed a wireless XBox controller for mah PC, Destiny 2 for PS4, and Bomberman for the Switch.

Now to figure out when I'll have time to play them!

Ended up buying "Don't Starve" since none of the suggested games grabbed me and it was cheap. Just the game I thought it'd be. So fun. I survived 23 days before a tree-man in the winter smashed me.

Karaoke in Yakuza Zero is actually hard. Crazy!

PS3.

Made it through the winter this time. Immediately decided to attack a beehive for stingers since I had Jet feathers. Killer bees. Oh well, I'll be much better off if I can actually find beefalo in my next world.
