If you’ve ever loved #bloodbowl, you’ll know who Pete Knifton is, from his artwork.
Sadly, Pete passed away last night. He was a funny, clever and immensely talented guy who always had time to chat. He’ll be very much missed.

Have you seen the comic from the digital deluxe edition for how they met? It's hilarious but also kind of touching in a weird way.

#DispatchGame New Dog Meme Just Dropped

A man in a yellow shirt who looks like black Einstein holds a chubby dog in his arms, looking at another man in a blue shirt.

Text reads

"Chase: Robert, I would literally let everyone here melt in eternal hell,"-

A man who looks like black einstein in a yellow shirt holding a chubby dog is looking at a man in a blue shirt.

The superheroine Blonde Blazer, who wears a blue mask, has blonde hair, and has a blue and yellow outfit with a red gem on her chest, is walking into view behind them.

Text continues: "Chase: including you, before anything happens to this dog."

#DispatchGame This is... honestly one of the funniest bits in the game so far to me, I love how matter of fact the two of them are about it.

Phenomaman, a powerfully built older male hero with brown hair, in a red, gold and blue outfit, with muttonchop mustache/beard and brown hair, and very dark circles under his eyes from serious emotional distress. He has a serious expression, and a hand on the shoulder of a skinnier man with no beard and lighter brown hair who is facing towards Phenomaman.

The text reads

Phenomaman: "It seems the velocity with which I sat up has shot shards of glass into your chest."

Robert Robertson the Third, a thin man in a blue shirt, looks down at small shards of glass sticking through his shirt and embedded in his chest.

The text reads

Robert: "Oh, shit."

I also can't help but feel like some of this article applies to WoW. I'm not sure how on board I am with this idea that fans should be so active in deciding on the story. Especially the angle where fans start to tie morality to storytelling.

In the Discworld books, every now and then a new technology is invented that messes up the fabric of reality so badly it causes a tear in the universe and the Discworld is nearly destroyed by horrible things from the dungeon dimensions.

I think AI is going to be that technology for our own world.

The "hard-men" of Gondor were getting their shit kicked in until they were rescued by foreigners and a girl.

The Shire was doing fine until they let a fascist demagogue ("Sharkey" aka Saruman) take over, close the gates, impose a bunch of thug-enforced rules, and despoil nature for profit.

A screenshot of a tweet by Elon Musk (@elonmusk). The tweet reads:

“When Tolkien wrote about the hobbits, he was referring to the gentlefolk of the English shires, who don’t realize the horrors that take place far away.

They were able to live their lives in peace and tranquility, but only because they were protected by the hard men of Gondor.

What happened to the nice man who was brutally murdered while walking his dog will happen to all of England if the tide of illegal immigration is not turned.

It is time for the English to ally with the hard men, like Tommy Robinson, and fight for their survival or they shall surely all die.”

Below the tweet is a grey box that says: “This post is unavailable" indicating that the Tommy Robinson tweet he's QT'ing is missing.

The timestamp reads: “8:02 AM · Oct 29, 2025 · 1.9M Views”.

Steam at least try to not destroy the spirit of the community that brought it up. I feel that something like Epic that have shareholders who demand profits over anything else would completely disrupt the ecossystem in exchange of some stock growth.

"250x bigger and lost" is pretty insane. Imagine 250 Steam competitors all spinning their wheels

And it's not like the labor is crap. It's not like thousands and thousands of people did their job wrong

They had shit captains who will experience no repercussions for Shadow Realming billions of $$$

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

Ethan Evans, former Amazon VP

As VP of Prime Gaming at Amazon, we failed multiple times to disrupt the game platform Steam. We were at least 250x bigger, and we tried everything. But ultimately, Goliath lost. Here's why:

The 15+ year long attempt to challenge Steam started before I was VP of Prime Gaming, but we never cracked the code. Not under my leadership or anyone else's.

The first way we tried to enter the online-game-store market was through acquisition. We acquired Reflexive Entertainment (a small PC game store) and tried to scale it. It went nowhere.

Then, after buying Twitch, we created our own PC games store. Our assumption was that gamers would naturally buy from us because they were already using Twitch. Wrong.

Finally, we built "Luna," a game streaming service that let people play without a high-end PC. Around the same time, Google tried the same thing with their
product "Stadia." Neither gained significant traction. The whole time, Steam dominated despite being a relatively small company (compared to Amazon and Google).

The mistake was that we underestimated what made consumers use Steam

It was a store, a social network, a library, and a trophy case all in one. And it worked well.

At Amazon, we assumed that size and visibility would be enough to attract customers, but we underestimated the power of existing user habits We never validated our core assumptions before investing heavily in solutions. The truth is that gamers already had the solution to their problems and they weren't going to switch platforms just because a new one was available

We needed to build something dramatically better, but we failed to do so. And we needed to validate our assumptions about our customers before starting to build. But we never really did that either.

Just because you are big enough to build something doesn't mean people will use it

Useful for gathering gold if you're playing aggressively. Some heroes have the ability to recruit Vogelfrey and Konkorda neutral bandit units right out the gate in Skirmish so they're a lot of fun, and getting access to them late in the campaign is a nice twist after fighting them earlier on. 7/7

Giles Mutterscrawl @mutterscrawl.bsky.social · 1d

The Vogelfrey also have good theming in their abilities.
3 POWER, 2 HEALTH, BANDING ROGUE, PILLAGE 2, and EVASION 2
These are fragile units but evasion means they're good at not getting trampled by cavalry, so they're a natural enemy to early game thousand kingdoms armies, and pillage makes them6/7

Giles Mutterscrawl @mutterscrawl.bsky.social · 1d

It gives you general information and lets you come to a conclusion. Even in the stages of the campaign where Lorelai fights the Konkorda who have taken over the Anholt region, she observes that the Konkorda must've had a hard life and it's noted that the old Anholt nobles were awful and corrupt 5/7

Giles Mutterscrawl @mutterscrawl.bsky.social · 1d

we don't know if the mark is something everyone is born with (though on units we'll see later we know some folks are) and who exactly Talis (Celestial? Primordial?) is despite getting a very simple view of Ezra in the opening cinematic.

The game doesn't tell you the Vogelfrey are evil or good 4/7

Giles Mutterscrawl @mutterscrawl.bsky.social · 1d

What kind of theft? What constitutes blasphemy when the Church is noted in the Rites and Wrath acolyte descriptions as zealous and burning nonbelievers? Is treason against an evil ruler actually wrong? Etc... The description also notes the mark of ezra the traitor and the horns of Talis, but 3/7

Giles Mutterscrawl @mutterscrawl.bsky.social · 1d

By specifically noting that people can be expelled for many reasons it lists a few examples of varying severity, people generally think of theft and treason as pretty big deals but a cheeky mouth? Expelling someone for that definitely feels extreme... but then that also makes you think. 2/7

Giles Mutterscrawl @mutterscrawl.bsky.social · 1d

#SongsOfSilence So continuing our lore discussion and early analysis of the campaign with Queen Lorelai we're going to talk a bit about the neutral units, starting with the Vogelfrey Infantry.

The Vogelfrey flavor text helps put something I love about the setting's worldbuilding into context 1/7

Songs of Silence unit Vogelfrey Infantry with the traits Starborn, Infantry, Rogue

The image shows three individuals with blue feathered clothes, one of whom is bald with an orange scarf and two others whom are hooded, trading with a merchant in more typical blue and gold clothes, with piles of coins and scales on the table between them.

The text reads:
Marauders who find strength in numbers.

There are many reasons for which one can be expelled from a High house - theft, blasphemy, treason, or simply a cheeky mouth. The outcasts bear the mark of Ezra the Traitor, often accompanied by the horns of Talis if they have joined the Konkorda rogues.

I realise that Azeroth is way bigger than what can realistically be portrayed in game, but I do think people should still show some restraint when making up their own locations. A good rule of thumb is: Would it make sense for a character from that in-game region to have never heard of it?
