I saw no butterflies…

in Uncharted 4, though I might have missed them in the jungle dash. I’d like to have seen one flutter and settle on Nate’s shoulder, tropic and big as your hand. But I suspect their flight pattern is too hard to render, the figure of eight drop and dart that sets them apart from birds. There are many things the games can’t give you, not even with the headset VR due out in October. Reasons still to head out into the physical world, to seek your own mountain and press a palm against the pressure-sprung plates of this Earth.
