I often wish I had the ability to pause my main quest so I could focus more on side questing.
Any conversation
Still in Quebec City, which has a pretty sizable street population once you come down from the hill where the tour groups go. We had to basically step over some guys sharing a glass pipe on the only stairs up the hill yesterday; I have teenagers so this bothered me.
Later, my youngest and I were talking and he says "why don't the police do something about that?"
Nudged by an interesting read about time perception to try reclaim moments where I can deliberately feel bored again.
