It's great that it can be played in landscape too if you want to pay more attention to it occasionally

Minesweeper and various solitaires, which are decent enough to pass time.

I don't know if you'd call them completly mindless, as they're puzzle games of a sort, but both Mini Metro and Mini Motorways are great relaxing time killers to me.

Not really complicated, just making connections. A fair bit of downtime just everyone make their trips, relaxing music, simplistic visuals, easy to pick up and play.

i am hooked to Crossy Road. (is like atari fogger, but better)

Infinite Loop (∞ Loop), Flow, Desert Golfing, Simon Tatham's Puzzle Pack, and various card games are some of the games I play just to kill time or keep myself stimulated while listening to something.

Dots is entertaining and mindless.

I haven't played it, but holedown looks very promising.

My personal favorite is Egg Inc, though it's a slightly different genre since it's an idle game.

4

Magic Survival. It's mostly mindless until late game when you really start thinking about how you could survive any given map for an hour.

Flow Free, and its spinoff games Bridges, Hex, Warps, and Fit.

The puzzles are kind of mindless and not that difficult, but I've really enjoyed it. You do have to pay to get rid of ads, but after doing so the user experience is excellent.

And then what? Stare on a blank screen for 4h a day?

It's my job to be in conference calls where I only listen for 75% of the time and there's nothing else for me to do except listening. And I find it easier to listen when playing around.

Doodling on paper is just as mindless, but that's probably okay for you, because it's "real" right?

Why don't you listen while you are working?

It seems to me you have bigger issues, that stem from a dopamine addiction.

Maybe bottom feeders can't do that, but normal people can listen and play around at the same time.

I can imagine you also tell people in a bar to stop drinking.
