@cmconseils lamps in video games still use real electricity!

@Viss @cmconseils depending on whether lighting is pre-baked, they may only use real electricity because displaying lighter-colored pixels uses more electricity in your monitor than displaying darker-colored pixels. In those cases, one could in theory invert their monitor colors to cause the in-game lamps to use net-negative real-world electricity.

@tiotasram @cmconseils the gpu, cpu, pci bus, wifi etc all still require power to make the lamp show up in the game, and even if its not visible, the rendering engine knows its there, so even when it's off screen its still technically being allocated watts
