And are full of untold mathematical horrors, just like physical lamps.
Which is really unexpected if you’re looking at an oil lamp.
Change electricity to energy and we’re good again
So an oil lamp in a video game is actually an electric lamp?
Playing a fireplace video produces real heat.
I guess if you disable the computer’s fan, yes.
Greetings fellow time-traveler. What model of entropy-reversing computer fan do you use?
Why reversing enthropy? I just throw the computer in the trash when it burns off so I can buy a new one every month. Mass consumer society is so greaaat.
If you’re using an older LCD screen, turning off the lamp uses more electricity than leaving it on
Shades in video games use even more electricity
Not on OLED screens + prebaked lightning
That’s too specific conditions, but okay :)
You made a blanket statement. There are exceptions.
not that specific. most modern displays are oled, and most efficient games use prebaked lighting. the average gamer probably plays on an oled display, and has a game with prebaked lighting.
Looks like we’re from a different galaxies, as I never seen oled display for PC in my eyes(I know they exist, but they are extremely rare where I am)
Even if the lamps are off.
If the game is demanding enough they also consume the same amount of electricity, maybe even more.
Every electronic device in the game uses real electricity. Even if it’s not on.
We should demand that they are oil lamps from now on to save the planet
Just make the player stumble in pitch black darkness through the entire game, duh.
But what about candles?
Did you know that characters in video games have an electrical current to keep them alive just like real people?

So do stones in video games. And water.
You aren’t supposed to think about it
somebody said this at work yesterday, and now it’s here
