Light sensitivity and epilepsy
#26
Just for anyone else who was skeptical, I initially was too but after some cursory google searching, I read about the relatively rare cases of people having epileptic seizures from video games and computer screens. 3-5% of epileptics are photosensitive, which means their seizures can be triggered by flashing lights, so it seems like a pretty small group to warrant changing anything. But there's a reason so many video games have those epilepsy warnings on launch. Not only do they give the warning but in some cases developers actively make updates to reduce extreme flashing lights to avoid epilepsy triggers: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-11519  I don't know if someone could actually have a seizure from gmod light spam but it doesn't seem like a lot to ask.
