  @MrWaDdLeSeY @TJWilkinson @ArcRaiderAlerts You’re delusional, my lobbies have been mostly friendly for weeks and nothing has changed. It’s literally a PVPVE game, and a EXTRACTION shooter.. the folks the come on here and cry because they occasionally get shot at need to go play candy crush and get their dopamine fix there

  The art of warming up. I never realised the importance of warming up until I pulled my hamstring. I am trying to get my life sorted, rebuild myself and share the journey, and it’s chaotic because there are so many options. Writing is one of the greatest passions I own, and sometimes it seems like I have nothing. Nothing comes up, no ideas, no thoughts, just nothing. Fed up, I stand up and go on a run. That’s where I pulled my hamstring. Nothing serious, but the issue was that I just didn’t warm up. Basically, I couldn’t perform. Same with my pen and paper. Couldn’t perform. Maybe I could have warmed up cognitively. But how. I thought I’d play a little Candy Crush before writing. Or Tetris. And yes, turns out you do have to warm up. Great writers do that. They take a paper and write whatever comes to them. Literally anything. The other day I wrote about, well, I don’t know how to sound not disgusting, but my problem with digestion and after digestion (phew!) And that led me to think of so many ideas. It was a drastic change. Not that writing about THAT helped me, but writing about anything before actual writing helped me warm up. Cognitive warm-up. That’s a real thing. It's the bridge between having nothing and having everything

  another great Chinese invention after DeepSeek and GLM-5.2: 90-second fake billionaire divorce dramas that somehow make more money than Netflix on mobile sounds stupid until you look at the business model it’s not really “streaming” it’s TikTok + soap opera + mobile game monetization you get a crazy opening: poor girl secretly married the billionaire CEO evil stepmom humiliates her ex-boyfriend appears someone gets slapped then right before the reveal… episode ends next episode costs coins this is the important part: Chinese short dramas are not competing with HBO they’re competing with TikTok, Candy Crush, gambling loops, romance novels, and boredom the user is not thinking: “is this cinema?” they’re thinking: “wait what happens next?” that is a much stronger business than people want to admit the format exploded in China because it solved 3 problems at once: creators could produce much faster than normal film/TV platforms already had short-video traffic web-novel style storytelling already trained users to pay chapter by chapter China basically turned internet novels into vertical video vending machines and the unit economics are brutal traditional streaming: spend huge money make 8 episodes hope people subscribe wait months for feedback short drama: make cheap episodes test the hook immediately kill what doesn’t convert scale what makes people pay it’s closer to mobile gaming than Hollywood and that’s why the App Store rankings look insane you now have these short drama apps ranking above serious billion-dollar streaming platforms not because the shows are better because the loop is sharper Netflix asks for attention short dramas demand resolution big difference the other interesting part: this format is now going global ReelShort, DramaBox, ShortMax, DramaWave, NetShort, etc. same structure, localized tropes: US market: werewolves, mafia romance, secret babies, billionaire husbands China market: revenge, family status, hidden identity, social mobility fantasy SEA/LATAM/India: localized melodrama + mobile-first payment loops this is also why AI video matters Seedance 2.0 and similar models won’t instantly create a perfect 90-minute movie wrong mental model the first real use case is much smaller: generate test scenes make fake trailers localize actors/backgrounds A/B test hooks turn scripts into animatics make ads faster produce low-budget vertical scenes cheaper short drama is one of the first entertainment categories where “AI slop” may actually be economically native because the audience is not paying for prestige they’re paying for: plot velocity emotional payoff identity fantasy cliffhanger resolution so the question is not: “can AI make cinema?” the question is: “can AI make the next 90 seconds addictive enough that someone pays 99 cents?” that is a much easier problem and probably a much bigger market than people think my take: short dramas will not replace Netflix but they will take time and spend from mobile games, romance apps, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and casual entertainment the next big entertainment company may not look like Disney it may look like a game studio running hundreds of tiny soap operas with AI-assisted production and casino-level retention math

  @soupybabee @naheshas but the problem isn’t mobile gaming? nobody ever talks about that and you know it you’re just being dishonest, mobile gaming is an outlier and is only big because phones are a requirement in our lives trying to include candy crush moms into conversation about gaming is insane

  1st: you don't decide **** (luckily). Every project is an endeavour, something people believes in it, so they put money in where they think people will be entertained, and they are right considering the pre-ordering numbers. Considering i'm working in an indie studio, i can tell you that the gaming market is structured like this: hard-core gamers = failed niche / casual players = the rest of the world. People play "Candy Crush Saga" and care less of "more interesting products that think outside of the box". Making games cost A LOT, that's why companies "seems" to care more about money than the product quality. And i said "seems". It's a perception, because the reality is different.

  Do you know the casual candy crush **** they want you to play to entertain 1 billion people? Get ready.. because they're gutting their studios of creatives and pushing AI to make their games hard. Being human is a problem at XBOX.

  Xbox just hit reset. Hard. 🎮 Microsoft is cutting ~4,800 jobs — 2.1% of its workforce. Xbox alone faces ~3,200 cuts through FY27, with 1,600 roles gone immediately. And four studios are leaving Microsoft’s gaming empire. This isn’t just “layoffs.” It’s Xbox admitting the old playbook broke. Game Pass + multi-platform + buying studios was supposed to make Xbox unavoidable. Instead, Xbox got stuck with: - lower margins - weaker console momentum - rising hardware costs - too many management layers - too many bets chasing too little return Translation? Microsoft doesn’t want to own every cool studio anymore. It wants fewer experiments, bigger franchises, cleaner execution, and businesses that actually print money. That means more focus on Minecraft, Candy Crush, Call of Duty-scale IP, PC, mobile, cloud, and subscription economics that don’t bleed quietly in the background. The AI angle is subtle but important: Microsoft says these roles aren’t being replaced by AI. But AI is clearly changing where Big Tech spends money. Less headcount in slow-growth units. More capital toward AI infrastructure, cloud, automation, and high-margin software. For Xbox, the next chapter probably looks less like a console war… and more like a platform war. Xbox everywhere. Fewer studios. More discipline. More pressure on Game Pass. And maybe fewer “passion projects” unless they can scale. Bad news for nostalgia. Good news for Microsoft’s margins. Scary news for any studio that doesn’t look like a platform. Unpopular opinion: This reset was coming the moment Xbox started acting like Netflix without Netflix-level pricing power.

  @mcahogarth The problem is that "gaming" has come to mean everything, including solitaire or Candy Crush. Yes, these are games, but playing them isn't "Gaming". "Gaming" is more involved (or can be), usually more time consuming. Like a video game version of a tabletop RPG.

  @threelinestudio @onyxicca The only problem with the statistic is that they consider your grandma that booted candy crush once a "gamer". Women consume more mobile video games than men, and this has somewhat poisoned the overall statistic.

  @LOVETHEW0RLD What irritates me. When I was a kid, my mom would play Sonic 2. Beat it. We played other games. She beat Crash 1 - 3(100% btw). She almost beat Banjo and kazooie. Stuff happens. Now she plays "candy crush" type games. And said video games are overwhelming. Wtf do you mean!? 😭

  @PiereChangstein @TheJFreakinC This issue is, obviously, far too complex for your feeble brain. The legislators that passed the VRA would look upon you as they would a child - wonderous but woefully ill equipped to grasp the gravity of the subject matter, and the moment. Perhaps a round of Candy Crush?

  @EAMaddenNFL Beta testing showing @EAMaddenNFL @EASPORTS still don’t know how to build franchise features. FA looks like another Candy Crush gambling loop borrowed from MUT. People want to play as NFL GMs, not get pushed into app-style mechanics. Same issue as scouting: boring and bare bones.

  Makes sense — it's not much better on the consumer side either. Windows keeps "fixing" the wrong things: Windows 8: ugly design → backlash. Windows 10: fixed it → everyone happy. Logical next step for Windows 11? Fix bugs. Cut bloat. Speed it up. What did Microsoft do instead? Redesigned it all over again. 🙃 The actual to-do list sat there, untouched: • Start menu — stripped down, centered by default, less customizable than 2015's version • Ads — built into the Start menu and lock screen. A $2,000 laptop that also sells you Candy Crush. • Copilot — wedged into every corner, nobody asked • TPM 2.0 — legit security call. But ditching old hardware was the perfect excuse to also ditch the legacy code behind it and ship something leaner. Instead: more bloat, and a higher entry price. Somehow this counts as "innovation."

  Boss, why do you act like the company belongs to your father? It doesn't, right? Then why does approving a leave request give you emotional constipation? The moment I ask for one day off, your face looks like I personally crashed the company's servers. And listen, if I don't come to work for a day, who's going to do my tasks? That's your problem, boss! Isn't that what management is supposed to be about? Keeping backups, planning resources, handling absences? If your entire business collapses because one employee takes a leave, that's not management—that's a group project gone horribly wrong. And HR? Please tell me, what exactly is HR doing? Playing Candy Crush all day? Because whenever employees need help, HR suddenly becomes harder to find than a bug-free production deployment. You pay us wages like we're daily laborers... But expect performance like we're contractors managing five projects, three clients, and the economy itself. Honestly, boss, were you deprived of proper head massages with mustard oil as a child? Because some important development seems to have been skipped.
