  Gen-Z is not lazy or stupid, and telling them they are will just make things worse. They have executive function issues as a result of being handed a screen ever since they were children by moms who became addicted to candy crush by the time the kids were around 7.

  @solana_sailor @0xShubho_sol @solanagaming Its a common issue everywhere. Once upon a time even Candy Crush was a brand new game that only a few people were interested in playing.

  Low TFR is a problem, but Candy crush is red herring here. Real problem is expensive housing. Need real incentives like 33% off taxes for every child under 18

  it's like seeing someone you know crash out from **** years ago, and now after intervention, every six weeks they have a new addiction (did you hear about candy crush?) and they just can't quite get it together.

  @LateNightCandi_ 20-30% And im not including women who play mobile games like candy crush. Talking about real games. And I would actually agree except the last about 3-4 years has seen a massive industry wide push in high profile games and studios that feels 100% forced New ips, no issue

  @TheOnlyDSC I'm pretty sure she had money for the many piercings she's sporting, but she has a problem having to pay for her own candy as the taxpayers (you and me) won't be supplimenting your fat arse with our money. A part time job might cover you candy crush, but you'd have to work.

  @not__vee To be fair cowgirls exist. 🐮 Games can be hobby for both males and females. That's fine. Problem is trying to make all the games for both. That doesn't work because women want to play dress-up games and candy crush, while men want to crush enemies and have a cute Khajiit wife.

  @MR3Dev It's because dev teams are bloated with a bunch of fake girl boss jobs for non-gamers. Because so many devs now are non-gamers, they can't compete in the arena of ideas regarding design and gameplay. Cause the only game they ever played was Candy Crush. So they instead focus on every possible thing possible EXCEPT gameplay because they don't understand it. This is why we get such a push for accessibility. "Blind people aren't competitive in our racing game, how can we solve this?" Or "some people have anxiety, how do we make it easier for them to complete all the achievements, too?" These non-gaming girl bosses scour the internet looking for feedback and complaints they can champion like they're feeding the poor or saving the world. This is why we end up with 15 page options screens, because a girl boss found the one person n the world who has a specific edge case issue and so she advocated for an obscure option until real devs finally gave in to shut her up. Or maybe you're making a card game, but non-gaming girl bosses like Anita Sarkeesian demand you add a "phobia mode" for people who might be triggered by the names of certain cards. When you're trying to ship a game and you're carry 30-50% of a dev team focused on everything EXCEPT the gameplay experience itself, you can start to understand why games are so ******* expensive to make.

  @****** I usually find that people that spank are just kind of stupid. Like they don't want to genuinely invest into the relationship with their kid and doom scroll, so when their kid acts out they want to just resort to violence, "stop the problem", then go back to candy crush.

  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.

  1. The Start Menu Ad Board Situation: You open the Start Menu to launch your core tools, expecting a clean grid of your installed software. Instead, half your visual field is polluted with "Pinned" apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Candy Crush. You assume these are pre-installed programs taking up valuable disk space, but they are actually just paid corporate advertisements waiting for a misclick to trigger a background download. System: Right-click and unpin every single piece of corporate bloatware immediately. Do not leave a single one. Then, go to Settings > Personalization > Start and aggressively turn off "Show recommendations for tips, shortcuts, new apps, and more". Why it works: You reclaim your visual real estate and cognitive load. The Start Menu goes back to being a pure, functional launcher that obeys your commands, not a digital strip mall designed to steal your attention before you even begin working.

  Meta charges you up to 4x more per impression on Audience Network placements that convert at near-zero And the toggle to turn them off is buried 3 menus deep in ad set settings When you launch a Meta ad it runs on 4 placements by default: Facebook Feed, Instagram Feed, Stories/Reels, and Audience Network. You probably know about the first 3. The 4th is where Meta sends your ad to random apps and websites to fill cheap inventory Audience Network CPMs are cheap. $1-3. That looks good in your dashboard. The problem: conversion rates on Audience Network are near-zero for ecom because the "viewer" is playing a mobile game and your ad is a banner they accidentally tapped trying to close it. The click was accidental. She didn't want your product. She wanted to get back to Candy Crush Your ad dashboard shows a blended CPM across all placements. The $6 CPM you see is actually $14 on Facebook Feed (where people buy) and $2 on Audience Network (where nobody buys). Meta blends them to make the number look good. Your real cost to reach a buyer is $14. You think it's $6 The fix: - go to ad set level - click "Placements" - switch from "Advantage+ Placements" to "Manual Placements" - uncheck "Audience Network" entirely - while you're there uncheck "Messenger" too (same problem, different placement) Your CPM will "increase" on the dashboard because you removed the cheap garbage placements. Your cost per PURCHASE will decrease because every impression now goes to a placement where people actually buy things One operator turned off Audience Network and Messenger. Dashboard CPM went from $8 to $13. Cost per purchase went from $22 to $14. He was paying $22 per customer while Meta showed him an $8 CPM that included thousands of accidental taps from people playing mobile games Meta defaults to all placements because Meta gets paid per impression regardless of whether it converts. The more placements your ad runs on the more impressions Meta sells. Their incentive is volume. Your incentive is conversions. These are different goals. The default setting serves their goal not yours 3 clicks deep in your ad settings. 2 minutes. Your cost per purchase drops and your dashboard finally shows real numbers instead of blended fiction

  @Zengeku @ShitpostRock2 The issue is that Candy Crush is a bad example of a video game. It's like saying Garfield is a comic. Yeah, it is. But most people who talk about comics are thinking about X-Men or Spiderman, not Garfield.

  @WestsideLAGuy Candy crush is just the first thing that his boomer brain could think of, but his broader point about smart phones is likely true. The problem is definitely deeper than raising costs or lack of social programs.

  I really don’t like working with white trash people. “Yeah was a **** addict for 10 years but my kids are all still on drugs” I don’t care, we’re not equals. Stay away from me, I’m not going to explain how a 401k works. Go play candy crush on your Walmart phone.

  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.
