This cut me to the core. I spent a good chunk of the weekend playing Raft. My GPU was spooled up running the game at max settings 90fps 1440p. All tolled I think it was probably single digit extra dollars (compared to non-gaming) of electricity for the whole weekend. My last gaming computer I had for 6 or 7 years and it was far less energy efficient.
It feels weird to be in a world now where hobbies are scrutinized for environmental impact. Example: we should definitely call off sporting events for the amount of electricity wasted plus transportation emissions and garbage generated by attendees. I don't follow sports, so I wouldn't mind.
