Hello migraine with aura my old friend… 😘

Could be fun to try to visualize that. The patterns are different every time and a mix of blank spots, blurry areas, and rainbow stars or rather twinkling chrystal patterns slowly growing and wandering around my field of vision. ✨

@matthiasott Ah, that stinks. Props to you for being able to turn this into an inspiration. Definitely sounds interesting!

@stefan On a Saturday, I’m able to “enjoy” it. 😁 On workdays, it’s a different kind of annoyance sometimes.

@matthiasott Sounds like a dope GL shader. Get better soon 🫶

@timsev Not sure it's the same thing but I get ocular migraines and it legit feels like a shader applied to my vision, and it'd be cool if it didn't bother me so much! I can picture it in my mind but it's hard to represent.

Hope you get some rest and feel better @matthiasott !

@chriskirknielsen @matthiasott I've dabbled with some shader-based audio visualisation for parties, and it's rather easy to make them annoying/disturbing/nausiating for viewers. The latter are the closest reference I have to ocular migraines.

@matthiasott congrats? 🙃

@matthiasott I’ve got these once every month approximately, without pain, but it’s really disturbing. 😕
