When a menu has a neat little tween. Or a character has a funny little animation. Somebody out there spent days making that little detail perfect. And when you’re playing a game you’re blasted with like 50 of these little things per minute. Games are so rich with human life! It’s awesome!!!

I was playing Jazzpunk. It's an amazing game, right up my alley. And I could look at these artworks for hours, they make me feel some indescribable emotions.
