Non-photosensitive epilepsy and video-games

Good morning or good evening to everyone ! So I am epileptic (not photosensitive), I am under a treatment (I didn't do a seizure for more than a year), and my doctor prohibited video games, but I want to know why and if I can still do animations using Garry's mod (a tool that looks like a game but that I wouldn't really call a game, it looks like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM2MA6xOXzk ) thank you ! :)

Hey, I'm the same way, they've put me through all the stress tests many times, and have never induced a seizure. Im an avid gamer, anything from fps to racing or mmo, or I always get down on the telltale games lol I would say you ultimately have the final say, but you really need to consider your doctor's advice, he is the professional lol I can tell you from my experiences if I ever start to feel off while gaming, I put the game down and relax, and usually donot touch it until the next day, just to be safe. I have been in night clubs and parties with tons of flashing lights wich I would imagine is more dangerous than garys mod, and never had an issue lol

I went to a heavy metal concerts, lights and more than 2 hours of headbanging and I didn't feel anything, but that blurring makes me feel really tired xD less than 15 minutes make me blink my eyes and want to vomit, I didn't touch it after i entered for few minutes.
