That’s what Captain Disillusion’s face looks like. 🤷♂️
The guy playing Captain Disillusion, however, appears without face paint (well, maybe flesh coloured face paint, I’ve never been good at recognising makeup and he seems like the kind of guy that’d make sure not to have weird shines and whatnot in video, though to be fair he’s perfectly capable of fixing that in post, so who knows really) in this very video (for a short but maybe slightly too long sketch), as well as, if I recall correctly (Captain Disillusion’s videos are sadly rather infrequent, so it’s been a while), in at least one other of his videos…

Having a child is morally equivalent to aggravated murder (you’re intentionally directly causing that person’s death, as well as decades of pain and suffering), so no, breeders shouldn’t be treated differently than any other murderer (though they probably aren’t more likely to murder an already conceived person than the average citizen, which isn’t saying much).
Of course some people might adopt, and therefore are merely enabling murderers, but they’re statistically insignificant, so I’d say it’s safe to assume that anyone who has children is either a murderer or a child trafficker.
In any case, no, fuck them, they might deserve to be treated differently, but definitely not in a positive way.

WizTree scans my entire drive
It doesn’t, really. It’s already indexed. It’s a feature of the NTFS file system. It’s the same way Everything Search can find files almost instantly, and what Windows Search used back when it worked properly in the Windows XP days.
Why Microsoft stopped using that and switched to whatever the current useless search function uses escapes comprehension, though it probably has something to do with them wanting to shove Bing results and other spam in there.

- Comment on Thief has a new spiritual sequel, built by the Deus Ex and System Shock devs 1 week ago:
Only online “games” this maybe wouldn’t apply to would have to be peer to peer, serverless, and probably open source to be safe… and, even then, you’d have to provide a sufficient amount of players to replay them a decade on, as, lacking any actual game, they’re useless without other players.
As for offline games, sure, publishers might attempt to use them in the same way, but it’s much more expensive since a minimum amount of game must actually exist in order for players to fall for it, and they can’t fake it using other players. Asset flips are obviously a thing, but easily detected and avoided. And, most importantly, even those will remain equally playable or unplayable in a few decades, while an online “game” will be unplayable the instant it doesn’t have enough players.

I’m not sure what you mean by
get your customers to make the content for you for free
I mean that (besides always-online DRM, and scamming your victims with subscriptions and microtransactions) the main reason for perpetrating an online multiplayer computer game is that you can get away with not writing a story, or lore, or quests, or puzzles, or NPCs, or AI, or any actual gameplay, or anything even remotely resembling a proper game through the magic of scamming your customers (or rather victims) into paying you for the privilege of filling in the gaps and acting as NPCs, and gameplay, and whatnot.
You get away with selling the rotting carcass of what could have been a game, and scamming your customers into believing it’s still alive just because it’s (temporarily) crawling with maggots.
I can get any old single player game and, provided I can replicate its environment, play it and enjoy it just as much as I could have when it came out, or even more.
Even if it was possible to enjoy an online game, on the other hand, it will have been stillborn to start with, a mere shell of a game, an insult to real games, a sad parody only resembling a game as long as there’s enough victims trapped in the scam; the second they start leaving (supposing the scammers don’t turn the servers off before that, to drive their victims to their latest shiny defecation) it’ll go back to being the empty unplayable shell it’s always been, utterly devoid of enjoyability or replayability.
The very concept is insulting, revolting, and a clear intentional predatory attack on computer game players and the very concept of computer games.

Why the hate for multiplayer?
Lazy way to get the players to make the content for you for free (and as a result the content is absolute garbage).
Just an excuse to implement always-online DRM.
Extremely hostile and unenjoyable experience.
Nothing wrong with being a masochist, but I ain’t one.
I play games to get away from people, not to get an overdose of the damn fuckers. If I for some self destructive reason wanted that I could just go outside.

Seeing that silt strider just outside Seyda Neen after the intro to what looked like your run of the mill D&D style fantasy RPG was a surprise, to say the least…
… and it was just the beginning.
It’s a real shame later Elder Scrolls games mostly lost that otherworldly feel.

known species with a human level of higher intelligence
- Humans (allegedly; evidence points to most being dumb as a rock).
- Some species of extinct hominids (sure, but they’re extinct).
- Dolphins (and orcas); absolute creeps, though.
- Some species of octopods.
- Some species of parrots.
- Some species of corvids.
- I swear some of those black and white sheepdogs seem more intelligent than many of the people I know.

You say that like it’d be a bad thing… YouTube died (or rather was murdered by Google) a long time ago; what Google turned its bloated corpse into needs to be destroyed so that proper alternatives have space to grow.

We’re talking about Donald Trump here… you could replace him with an animatronic muppet and the only thing people would notice is that he looked healthier and didn’t smell as bad.

- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 2 months ago:
Because they’re not pro life, they’re pro suffering.
And they want to control others (against their will if possible), so ending someone’s life and forcing someone to gestate a baby or die in the process fall in exactly the same bag.

Anyone who doesn’t exclusively survive on naturally dried up lichen ain’t no real vegan in my book!
