Thinking along the lines of Freeman's Mind, Neeb's Subnautica, Red vs Blue (their channel is locked behind some kind of 'join' thing... wtf...)

Anyway, nursing student here! ...it's melting my brain. I don't trust my time-management skills to actually fire up any games right now - the addiction is real, and I'll fuck up my grade; but the 'itch' is also real, so I'm trying to find something to give that gaming fix, but in little short bursts so I don't one-more-level my way out of the program.

Study up, give my brain a nice 10-20 min break, then get back to it.

Not really picky on the game or genre, just looking for something in-character. YouTube is absolutely STUFFED with videos of people just playing games, but hardly any focused on delivering an actual story. Or rather, I'm sure it's there, it's just lost in a sea of low quality slop.

Any recommendations on picking out the gems?

Not quite what you're asking for, but Binary Break is an actual play tabletop podcast which is way, waaaay better than it needs to be. The players, the dm, the setting, the story, the music, the vibes; it all adds up to what is, easily, the best actual play experience I've ever come across...and as a person with a lot of time on my hands, I have tried a lot of them lol.

The setting is Digimon and I'm not sure if that's a sell or deterrent for you, but I promise that it is an exceptionally fun ride for both fans and those that have never had an interest in the series alike. I am not exaggerating when I say that they are the best at what they do. You won't regret giving these good folks a shot!
