Visual snow is a persistent visual phenomenon. Remember I said the aura was a discreet neurologic event that occurred, followed by the headache. Visual snow is very different from an aura. For example, there’s an entity that we’ve come to call visual snow. There are some people with migraine that can also get other visual phenomena. People with migraine, in general, are very visually sensitive people. Peripheral movement in the visual field will sometimes even trigger a migraine. But also visually sensitive to stripes, flickering lights, lights that are moving. And we talked about light sensitivity last year. What I think is also interesting about people with migraine with aura and with people with migraine, in general, is that in-between their big headaches, they’re also visually sensitive, so they’re always a little bit more light-sensitive than the next person. It’s still a migraine aura, but it doesn’t trigger the headache.

What’s interesting about this aura is as people get older, sometimes they lose the headache but keep the aura, and sometimes that is called later-life migraine accompaniments. There are other types of auras, such as dizziness or vertigo auras, or numbness around the face and hand followed by a headache, but the visual aura is the most common. But an aura is a discreet neurologic event, usually visual. Sometimes it’s on the opposite side to the visual symptoms, sometimes it’s on both sides, and then the headache can be indiscernible from a migraine without aura. The aura frequently will come before the headache and then the person will have a headache. When they’ve done experiments looking at the brain and the slow waves that travel in the brain, the speed with which that slow wave travels corresponds a lot with the aura and scientists have figured that out. We know also, or we think we know, that it is triggered by cortical spreading depression. So we know that it’s coming from the brain. And what some people think is something is wrong with their eye, but really it’s happening in the brain, and if they cover the eye that they think has it, they can still see the little zig-zaggy lines or spots on the page in the other eye. Just almost like a little flickering or almost kaleidoscopic, and then it will build up and grow. It’s usually heralded by a visual symptom, which we call aura, and it’s a discreet neurologic event that causes disturbance in the vision.Īnd it often will start little. I considered recording an audio version of this list, but there's something impressive about the scale of it.Okay, so one thing we have to understand is that people who have migraine with aura have a specific kind of migraine. From a video they recorded, I know one game's maker is literally in first grade. I'm always pleased when people celebrate something by creating. The answer to that, mostly, is that they love the game. Many have silly names I must confess to giggling at, or delight in imagining what inspired them. Some game entries on Game Jolt are jokes, some aren't finished, some will never be finished, and I suspect some were never really started. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. I didn't know what to do with my obsession beyond compile it into one huge list so that's what I did, okay. As I write this, the host-o-community has at least 217 entries that are clearly FNAF fan games.

I realised how big it was when Fazbear and friends usurped Slender Man as the most popular fan game subject on Game Jolt. Every morning I check Game Jolt, and every morning I see several new Five Nights games.

My readme file obsession has tailed off in recent months, replaced by a fascination with fan games for Five Nights at Freddy's - a game I've only played for ten minutes in the demo. I know, right? Game Jolt chose to section Five Nights fan games away from the main stream, as they were flooding everything else out, and currently hosts over 4,712 in various stages of completion. I certainly did start, though, so now I've boshed another 922 games onto this list. At one point, I had hoped to compile a new list of the 2362 games on Game Jolt, but, well, there were 2362 of them. Update, September 14th: Shortly after this post, Five Nights fan games really took off.
