Beauty

I forget what beauty is when I play videogames. Beuaty lies within the details, the small nuances and curls of a fig leaf as the light plays in soft lilting forms against the transparent green whispers of its fibers, tracing shadows soft and gentle on its form. Beauty lies within the details, be it objects, people, scenery.

Videogames, for all their artistry, so often amount to little more than a short jaunt through these universes. They are ultimately unconcerned with details, this is a world where life is concerned with the sword and fist.
