Why'd you crop it like that? The aspect ratio in your image is precisely 16:10. You're lying, aren't you, this is the ratio you play with. Because you're insane.

Depth and verticality is impressive to the human brain. Perhaps because it's harder to process than everyday flatness of landscapes most of us inhabit.

>> No.1634986

>>1632294

A cliff has the symbolism of either an obstacle awaiting the player (such as in a early or mid-game cut-scene), or symbolism of the 'end of the line' (which is why many games use them in final battles/ final cutscenes.)
