The epilepsy thread is in GiP because it was enough of a derail in a GiP Current Events thread that posters encouraged the person to start a thread

The epilepsy foundation suggests strobing lights (in the context of fire and other emergency lights) be kept to under 2 hertz with occasional breaks, which is this fast:

I don't know how fast the sig was but I'm just posting this in the interests of having some actual information from a real organisation.

The link to the epilepsy foundation page has some other recommendations about what precautions people should take when watching TV or playing video games.

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.

Just giving my self two major seizures for the sake of games journalism.

She did actually have preventative measures:

My monitor has an "eye-saving mode" that dims the blue light in my screen that I often use to help with things like this, and that has helped immensely.

The article seems more geared towards explaining to people with photosensitivity what might be triggering in the game rather than criticising the game, and she played it because she wanted to despite knowing it would trigger her. It feels pretty evenhanded.

quote:

During my time with Cyberpunk 2077, I suffered one major seizure and felt several moments where I was close to another one. I kept going because I made that decision to, and I feel like that decision helped me sort of slap together a small little guide for players wanting to take part in this game for fear of missing out.

For the way that I feel
Drops out into all this disorder
the big thing you could likely have knocked the sig for before wrt epilepsy was it flashed between 2 different colors, and repeating patterns can trigger seizures. it now no longer does this. i dont care about whatever dumb crap the ik is doing because even if i did cspam will just pick the next guy exactly identical to the first one regardless. that said, i do think its really lame to bring up the specter of an actual medical issue to complain about a sig that has the word homo in it (so noncontentious it is literally in my username) and fag (possibly contentious but also it was a link to the gay thread. gets a pass imo)

lol yeah

I recently remembered an interaction I had with her where she really confidently stated something as fact and linked a video that proved it, and then I watched the video and it proved absolutely nothing. I posted that, and then she responded by saying "wow does that mean literally no one else watched it to check? how embarrassing for you all"

At this point I doubt that she even knew any clowns
