My lofi isn’t cutting it today, but my podcast is pulling too much of my attention so I can’t think on my work. I need that sweet spot of interesting enough to quiet my mind but boring enough that I can ignore it and think on my work. Gonna look for a history documentary on Carthage or smth

    I cant even with lofi, I call it “headache inducing sounds” many games with “relaxing” soundtracks have a similar problem, like Minecraft. theres just so much thyme (without music) for you to accumulate all of your senses and then there comes the music, wich is just a bit of long (boooring) piano plings and then the nightmare continues, i get dehydrated, the game is “”“”““FFFFUN””“”“”“” whith a capital f-u… anyways i dont enjoy listening to samey things…

    I dont wanna go on for hours about this, but maybe I will, at some point.

    I often throw on bad horror movies on Shudder or something, basically anything that I know I won’t actually pay attention to but provides just enough extra chaos to take up the ADHD slack. I feel you on this one, haha.

    I’ve been using a generative AI music app called AIMI that essentially creates one giant song that never quits. You can pick from a handful of different genres (all within the electronic type). It’s pretty cool.
