Truth.
I have almost 1000 hours in smnc, and miss the hell out of it.
I think there's occasionally a match on steam in mnc classic. Look up the group "hotshots forever", if you want a ping when someone is trying to get a match going.

It's cool when the devs abandoned the second game and some guy who was just a mod on their forums got emailed the source code and told it's his job to continue game dev on it.

the science behind what triggers photo-sensitive epilepsy is understood and there's a known threshold for triggering even in the most extreme cases that is still faster then most people think it is.

Seizures can be triggered by certain patterns or color contrast its just everyone's seen the movie/tv version of a strobe light causing someone to collapse and shake so that's the only thing they know about it.

when the QCS thread tried to accuse arf of attempted murder for the strobing gif they also claimed that people get seizures from car blinkers which is total bullshit

And people that really do have epilepsy already have things installed on their computer to prevent issues.

They don’t just yolo it and hope for the best.

yes but the pokemon incident was a lot less about epilepsy than people claim. most of the people who had medical events from that episode had headaches or nausea, which is a thing that epilepsy can do before seizures but is also a not unusual or otherwise noteworthy reaction to looking at strobing colors for a bit

Some reviewer claimed she had a seizure not once but twice because of that part.

She claimed that the seizures were so bad that they knocked her out for the rest of the day each time.

People rightfully asked why if her seizures are that bad doesn’t she have any preventative measures installed on her computer but there was nothing more on that.
