minus-squareJolteon@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 days agoThe problem with those virtual lamps is that when you look away, the light turns off but the heat doesn’t.

minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·7 days agoThat depends on how the game does reflections. In some games they have a mirrored room with an identical but different light for the reflection.

minus-squarecholesterol@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·7 days agoStrictly speaking, reflected light isn’t ‘emitted’. A mirror isn’t an emitter of light either.
