Things that aren't games but make me think about games:
- Looking at the bees flying around the lavender and trying to take pictures of them
- Being as silent as possible so your cat keeps sleeping and guessing what they're dreaming about
- Following a pigeon for as long as possible without scaring them away
- Walking on the same path everyday and looking for one new thing on the way each time
- Walking to the same place everyday and looking for new paths to get there each time
- Taking the bus at its first stop and staying inside until its last stop
- Arriving in an unknown town by train and having to spend 2 hours there before catching your connection
- Watching someone perform a really good skateboard trick
- Sweeping the floor after an evening with friends and discovering small treasures: peanuts, small rocks from under people's shoes, that token we lost when we played a boardgame, a 5 cents coin...
- Looking for that tiny screw you just dropped on your carpet
- Gathering three or four similar things and thinking "i'm starting a collection!", then proceeding to never grow that collection anymore
- Getting a new book but having a full bookshelf and so trying to organize it so your new book can fit in
- Deciding to let go of a book and thinking about whether it'd be better to give it to someone you know, sell it for almost nothing on the Internet or leave it on a bench for a random person to find
- Being hugged by someone you love
- Walking with someone and accidentally synchronizing your walking rhythm to theirs
- Taking care of your friends' pet when they are away from home
- Getting up early and buy croissants to surprise your family
- Going through your fridge and imagining the fanciest meal you can cook with whatever's left in there
- Shuffling your furniture around to make the room seem new and different
- Planning what you'll do tomorrow on your day off
- Drawing a cloud
- The different noises a water faucet makes depending on how wide it is open
- A door that's slowly closing but you block it with your foot at the last moment
- A music playlist made for a specific event
- Two planes vapour trails that cross each other
- The bookseller's recommendations at your local bookshop
- A pile of plates that are completely mismatched yet kept together
- Several mirrors facing each other
- A carrot with a weird shape
- A duck's quack
