PUBG vs going for a walk...

-
One of the best parts of PUBG (PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds) is walking around the world map. It's really quite beautiful at times. Though, it makes me wonder if perhaps I could / should just take a walk IRL. 

I'm usually reluctant to because I try to stay on task and get work done. I consider an hour or so of unproductive walking is not worth it, but paradoxically I'm willing to sit down and play a little PUBG (or any game for that matter) to unwind which often turns into 1 or 2 hours.

While going for a walk outside is not as exciting as playing video games or experiencing video game worlds, it can be quite beautiful and the graphics resolution is unbeatable.

Going for a walk might clear my mind and is probably a good time to catch up on an audiobook, get a little exercise or hit the grocery store.

I also like to take screenshots of the beautiful landscape in games. I can also do that IRL, with a camera or my phone.

So, the next time I feel the urge to play a little PUBG or any game for that matter, I'll try to go out for a walk and see if I feel refreshed enough to get back to work... Don't think I'm going to quit gaming, but I want to be in control of how I use my time and not succumb to unconscious urges.

Middlebrows are concerned with how what they do makes them appear, unlike highbrows, the avant-garde men and women who act according to their indelible commitment to beauty , value , art , form, and integrity . Woolf said that, "We highbrows read what we like and do what we like and praise what we like". Likewise, a lowbrow is devoted to a singu...

I like to use a loose line. I've heard it called "travelling lines" which are lines drawn as a sort of searching for the right line. This type of drawing is also used in prelimary stages for working out composition and design. I like drawing like this as preliminary searching and for their own right. It's got a lot of vitality and personality. Giacometti comes to mind. I think also, there is a heavy influence from the look of wire frames used in computer graphics. 5.5'' x 8.5''.
