An odd beauty.

Because I associate decay with chaos.

that sort of decay puts human affairs into context. Once that room probably had dinner parties in it, where people were worried about how they looked, their weight, their makeup, their future etc. Now it is just an abandoned house, and those people are old, or dead.
That will be true of all human endeavours eventually. So decay, in some cases, highlights a truth, and that can be beautiful.

'tis the inevitable fate for all things to decay and die out.

as such, beauty can be found in the fleeting moment of existence, but also the transcendental thought which thrives in those who can appreciate and nurture the present, because without that, we cannot remember the past, and not want to gaze into the future.

Caddisfly larvae build protective cases using materials found in their environment. Artist Hubert Duprat supplied them with gold leaf and precious stones. This is what they created.

That was my reaction! There are a couple of similar apps, but nothing that can truly emulate the experience. I had literally at least twelve of them when I was younger.

If you want an iOS Tamagotchi, the closest I've found is a (free) app called "VPET Gen1", not worth buying the paid version because it just gets rid of ads, but it has very accurate graphics and gameplay. Also good is "Hatchi" but it's been muddled with paid currency and whatnot a little bit. There are a lot of really crappy apps that attempt to recreate the experience so I'm glad we're getting an official one soon.
