Pokemon is a great one, doesn’t require quick reflexes or anything, you progress quite quickly, and they are open world so you can choose whether to explore or strictly follow the story

I'm not sure how many of my fellow historians are poker players, but that's a game that's tailor-made for us.

Sitting at a table for long hours, drawing out one disappointment after another and then finally getting a holy shit holy shit this is amazing and then another three hours of boredom ...

Very niche, but there is an American radio ham who has collected, catalogued and scanned thousands of QSL Cards if anyone wants to find somebody by their call sign, or is interested in radio ham history! www.oldqslcards.com

As a side note this is some APPALLING tactile paving here.

1. Wrong colour (red should only be used for controlled crossings)
2. All the way across the footpath (difficult to walk on, gives no directional indicator)
3. Paving goes up the sloped kerb, not just at the flush part (risks falls)
