Yeah this is me too - which is why I enjoy turn based games while I’m coding, if I get stuck I distract my consciousness with 2-3 turns in Civilisation and the answer pops into my head while I’m playing.

Turn based is excellent because always I’m mid-turn when the answer comes so I alt-tab out and keep going.

My steam shows some ridiculous number of hours in game because it’s always on, nearly 24/7, in a window on my monitor

I don't think I can only play 2-3 turns of Civilization at a time.

Not gonna lie developing that discipline was really difficult …

Very interesting. Any turn-based games you'd recommend for someone who's completely new to them? I have zero knowledge in that area but would love to try it out.

Try Civilisation, probably start with the current one - Civ 6

Then if you like it you can work your way backwards

If you like a more futuristic setting then Endless space 2. Or civilisation beyond earth is really fun to colonise another planet and research futuristic technology and alien biology.

If you like puzzle games with no time pressure SpaceChem.

These are my favs
