What do you listen to when playing?

I'm on my 3rd run of the entirety of a TV show called Mock The Week (I'm a UK dweller) and will eventually go back to a podcast I know and like afterwards, I'm just curious as to what other people listen to whether it's music/podcasts/TV shows or whatever else

I guess this post also serves as a point for recommendations too because I'm slowly running out of stuff (bonus points if it's pro-trans or pro-LGBTQ+)

I am mostly playing together with a friend, therefore no music in the background. When I am alone, I love listening to ambient space music or an eclectic collection of 70's space rock (Hawkwind and the likes). David Bowie is of course always a good choice ;)

For a while I had recordings of various dawn chorus (birdsong) playing along with the games sound, now I just have the game sound.

I wouldn't want anything that distracted me from the game.

I usually listen to my favorite 80s radio station when playing. If not, I have a few things I like to listen to - mostly soundtracks:

  • This first one is a bit blasphemous as it's a "SC station", but I like "Space Travel Radio". Basically ambient chillout music.
  • Quite some time ago I stumbled across a very good video game soundtrack mix called "Space Travel Music Vol. 1" on YT. It's a 2 hour mix of Deus Ex, Mass Effect and the Oblivion soundtrack. Basically a "best of" of the stuff I like to listen to (see below).
  • Speaking of games, the soundtracks of both newer Deus Ex games are brilliant to listen to, as is the Mass Effect Trilogy soundtrack mentioned above. Another game soundtrack I like to listen to is Prey. You can find all of them easily on YT.
  • I have a few movie soundtracks I like to listen to - both Blade Runners, and Oblivion are great and relaxing to listen to.

That's about it.

Mostly the in-game music. But I put together a little filk playlist for when I decide to go exploring (of course its the OG lo-fi stuff home recorded on cassettes in 1980-s):

I've also a bluegrass set for fighting in conflict zones, but it's local, not on YT.
