This is the same vibe as electric bulbs in videogames using real electricity
Wait. What. Whoa
Wait, so videogame lights are also physical real world lights...
Only if you've got an OLED display, for LCDs you're using roughly the same energy as long as your display's backlight is on.
They’re not talking the amount of use, but just the sheer fact that if you see an electric light in a video game, it’s being powered by real world electricity, just like a normal light is.
Even the shadows are, just like a normal shadow
The bits to make the light be shown by the cpu/gpu use the magic zip zap tho
