I like to do voiceover content for my youtube channel, but when I play video games I usually like to listen to music or something in the background. As far as i can tell though there isn't a way to record my game audio without also recording whatever i'm listening to. Is there a way to make this happen?

To extract the desired sources from the mix of general desktop audio is a common task. You need to "split" audio - that's the term used in the linked guides.
In general, it works like this: you install a virtual audio device and configure the app you want to record to output its sound not to the default device but to that virtual audio device. In OBS, you record that virtual audio device. These guides all deal with separating audio with different focus:
