I mean for a hot minute it was via epileptic seizures. That got patched out pretty quick, but drat they straight up were copying medical equipment that is used to trigger seizures and didn't think to tell anyone outside of a bit in their TOS.

That’s better than I was expecting, from the early things I was hearing it sounded like the company was just sending out tweets saying like “if you don’t like having seizures don’t play the game, lol triggered much snowflakes”

What was weird were the takes in the C-Spam thread (from one person mind you) that this was a deliberate act on behalf of CDPR's management to do a mass cleansing of epileptics in the name of white nationalism.

Pretty sure they never said that, shithead gamers did, because as is well know, gamers loving suck. CDPR responded the same day the review dropped with "holy poo poo that's bad we're fixing it", immediately added in a big epilepsy warning on the initial launch screen, and had the whole thing removed within 2 days. I don't think they had any idea that it could trigger a seizure, especially since the actual strobe sequence was used in a gameplay trailer 6 months prior and viewed by millions upon millions of people and nobody said a peep.

I'm willing to bet that some vital element of the trigger got lost somewhere in the trailer footage so the full effect didn't happen until people saw the real thing.

Probably youtube compression, tbh. As a non-epileptic, the original sequence looked honestly cool as gently caress, and the replacement was complete removal of any of the light sequences that played during the calibration of the headset. It wasn't as obvious as say the Incredibles 2 scene with the flashing nightmare room bullshit, that actually made my head hurt and I'm not epileptic, so I can't begin to imagine what that would be like as someone who is sensitive to it. Kinda shocked Pixar managed to release a movie with a 30 second long full screen black and white strobe sequence.

That's what I'm thinking. Or maybe most people watched it as a small window instead of full screen or something.

The C-SPAM takes were peak IOSM though, but then again CSPAM is usually take the most extreme take you can have and crank the dial to 11.

Yeah I mean I got the impression the company was calling it "braindance" or something and touting it as a cool new consciousness-altering technology they had developed by studying epileptics. I guess I misread then

As much as I hate talking about Cyberpunk more in this drat thread, I think I've developed a new pet peeve that's driving me out of my mind: People saying medical technology was copied identically when it is two things that are literally nothing alike.




Are this flashlight and this headset identical?

Just out of curiosity, what is the locavore scene like in a place like Britain? I do a CSA that's entirely in-state, and am still getting lettuce because we have a very temperate climate and very long growing seasons with some things still coming up all through the winter. I know the UK isn't a frozen hellhole, but how far into the year is farm harvesting?

that's why the buy british idiots are so funny to me, Britain is a small, cold rock in the north atlantic, with not enough arable land to sustain its population, there's no loving way they can be self sufficient.

I always figured mashed potato was pretty common in the US.

E: also in a taste of the uk future I had to make a deal with a supermarket worker I know to get a bag of limes before the store opened. He handed them to me out back like some kind of drug deal.
