    When I first got the game Factorio, for the first week, I was having full on hallucinations of the little conveyor belt arrows twisting and snaking all over my vision when I closed my eyes. Even when I blinked, id get a flash of some grotesque squirming abomination. Scared the shit outta me because I’d never experienced that before nor even heard of it. I was relieved when I learned it was a known thing but it was still distracting as all hell.

      I get that with most video games, so I’m pretty used to it

      The effect from factorio was intense for me though. That game is something else

      Happens to me a lot with video games. Apparently after Nintendo introduced Tetris to the United States, people were seeing blocks falling from the sky.
