No. I’ve never even heard of that game design studio, and I’m pretty sure that if I haven’t heard of a game design studio, they’re not “big enough to be too corporate”.
I was simply commenting on a general practice during game development. A practice which revolves around a profit motive, not around the size of whatever corporation may be developing the game. I have, in my own past, as an independent game developer, encountered such difficult development, decision decisions, as how much of which budget to cut.
So, I’m not simply speaking out of general bullshit. I’m actually speaking from experience.

As game development budgets get cut, the first ones to go are the designers. It’s much easier to sell a game which doesn’t look great but still works than a game. That looks great, but doesn’t work right. In the corporate assholes who are in charge of these game designed budgets can only about one thing: sales. They couldn’t give a flying fuck if you enjoy the game, just that you bought it.

because every website got bought out by a major corporation which publicly executes its employees, every hour, on the hour, if their profit line stops going up

Oh, I see. Yeah, I misunderstood it this side. Thanks for clearing that up.

Considering that heat rises, I’d be pretty surprised if the heating element for an electric kettle was anywhere but beneath the tank. It wouldn’t work very well otherwise, unless you used a much more expensive method of heating it all around., But even then, there would still be heating elements underneath.
A good way to improve efficiency there, would be to insulate the tank to reduce heat dissipation in the first place.

what you’re describing is an oven with a heat pump. industrial-grade ovens like this exist, but they don’t really exist in the home appliance market as the amount of energy recaptured at that scale would be negligable. it’s easiere (and cheaper) to make ovens more energy efficient in other ways.
there are a number of other home appliances (washers, dryers, and dishwashers), however, which use inverter heat pumps to recapture/recycle heat, thus increasing energy efficiency by quite a lot.

You know, I find it quite annoying that hackers will choose a target like Steam rather than a force. That’s actually evil in this world. Like, put your skills to good use at least…

You explain this as if makes. Difference.
It doesn’t.
“Ownership“ does not mean you can “do whatever you want“.
Since I’m not capable of convincing you of this, here’s the dictionary definition and proof that you are wrong.
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 1 week ago:
if that’s what you think I said, then you should improve your reading comprehension.
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 1 week ago:
The law does nothing to restrict us in that capacity.
there are countless laws which govern specifically how you use software and hardware. it’s hilarious you thought you could just spout such a plain and obvious lie, lol
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 1 week ago:
what makes you think it wasn’t?
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 1 week ago:
except that doesn’t happen. school shooters get caught (or kill themselves).
show me the laws of any country where school shooters just walk away.
it’s a fantasy
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 1 week ago:
Except we aren’t talking about the law.
of course we are. in a society, we live by laws which govern our behavior.
regardless of whether you can accept that, it’s the facts.
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 1 week ago:
no, they can’t, which is why they don’t just walk out free and clear after the massacre.
lol
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 1 week ago:
not always, and what rights you may have vary widely depending on the object, the location, and who you are.
so, I don’t know what your point is here other than that you’ve confused the word “ownership” with your own sense of entitlement
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 1 week ago:
but the law is: just because you own something doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want with it.
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 1 week ago:
you think people who own guns should be allowed to “do whatever they want” with them?
how many mass shootings do we already have each week?
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 1 week ago:
it never meant that.
