"A side quest is basically just doing a random activity, not scheduled, not really typical to do, it's just a side quest. It's kind of, you know, a reference. It comes from basically video games when you're on, like, a story video game, where you're on a certain path and there's a storyline you're following, and then there's just random side quests that they can ask you to do for more points and whatnot. It's pretty much optional. An example would be, say I'm just going to the orange farm to pick up some oranges, just, you know, random side quest."
