  I am not normally a gambler, I sometimes do lotto but usually forget, anyway, I recently went on a website to bet for Restore to win the general election and after I spent my money I had some change, about £2.50 and though I’d draw it out and buy an online lotto scratch card but I remembered I hate them and noticed there were games on the betting site like online bingo, roulette, and some candy crush looking games. Well, I like roulette, we had a toy mini table as kids and the other side was a mini snooker table. Me and my siblings spent hours in the summer holidays honing our psychic skills, trying to guess or mentally will the ball to land on a number. So I thought, why not? It’s only £2.5. I like roulette. So I clicked on the game thinking ‘how does this work is it like online scratch cards and already decided?’ and it was a real roulette table and someone spinning the ball 😮 I thought this looks like it costs money to run and there can’t be many people playing cos it’s 4pm I thought it was just me and maybe another person playing for some reason, But then after the ball lands there’s a rolling list of the account names and their wins ; some were wining small others BIG. ‘If that’s what people are winning wtf are they losing?’ And then I remembered I saw another type of roulette advertised on the site and so I went and checked and yes there must have been at least half a dozen different live roulette games happening at once, and then there were other genres; poker, horse racing, one armed bandit type games, etc That was just one website. So, anyway I’m starting to suspect the UK has a gambling problem on a scale I dread to imagine Anyway, I like Roulette, so I put my change on the roulette table won a bit and left as soon as I had doubled my money. I still got those psychic powers from my teen years training But I can’t stop thinking about what I saw; so many opportunities to gamble Should adverts for gambling be banned? For the first time I think maybe we should have food stamps style benefits for people so they are not tempted to gamble because surely some are.

  @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.

  @arcanistsaphras @56pearo People have a problem with the direction the entire art is taking and the other person is spot on the money with blaming you for it. Saying "its not that bad" because they throw you crumbs is the saddest form a consumer can take. I wish people like you would stick 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. Follow @ClustzContact for more tech stories that explain what the headline is really hiding. #Xbox #Microsoft #Layoffs

  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.

  @shaunmeasom @ClashofClans What an L take, nerfs are to make everyone happy. Just because you like to abuse broken stuffs, that doesn't mean everyone feels the same. If you don't like to use some braincell to play this game, you have candy crush on the playstore.

  A high-school dropout coded a game after work each night. Microsoft paid $2,500,000,000 in cash for it. Edsbyn, Sweden. Markus Persson grows up in a house coming apart. His father cycles through alcohol, amphetamines, and jail for robberies. His parents split when he is 12. His younger sister runs away into drugs. He fakes stomachaches to skip school and sit at the family Commodore for hours. By 8 he is writing code. He never finishes high school. His mother, a nurse working the graveyard shift, forces him into an online programming course. That course becomes the whole career. 2004: he lands a job at a Stockholm game studio, the outfit that later builds Candy Crush. He keeps a paycheck by day and tinkers on his own worlds at night. 2009: he starts a blocky side project on indie forums and calls it Minecraft. He built the first version in about a week. It spread by word of mouth with no marketing. By 2014: 15,000,000 copies sold across consoles and PC. The pressure of being the sole god of a phenomenon wears him down. September 2014: Microsoft buys his studio Mojang for $2,500,000,000 in cash. His 71% stake makes him a billionaire overnight and lands him on the Forbes list. The audit: Minecraft passed 300,000,000 copies, the best-selling game in history. The 2025 movie grossed over $950,000,000. Forbes marks Persson near $1,300,000,000 today. His father went to jail. The dropout son built the best-selling game ever made.

  @thomaslhorrocks Imagine believing the argument is that candy crush is the problem and not a placeholder/analogy for the overall problem of materialism… also blaming costs doesn’t hold water when you learn that poorer people are having more kids than the rich.

  The new boss of Xbox took one of its biggest games and put it on PlayStation, the console its arch-rival sells. It sounds like a mistake. Instead, it became the best-selling new game on PlayStation last year and has passed 5 million copies, beating Sony's own new games. That single move tells you what Asha Sharma is really doing. She took over Xbox in February 2026, after Phil Spencer, who had run it for years, retired. At Bloomberg's tech conference this week, an interviewer asked what winning would look like by 2030. Her answer was blunt: the number one gaming and entertainment company in the world. Xbox is not there yet. She even called the business "not in a healthy spot," with sales falling in four of the last six quarters. So she stopped trying to win the old fight. For decades, consoles worked one way: you keep your best games locked to your own machine, so people have to buy it to play them. Sony does this better than anyone, selling close to three PlayStations for every Xbox. Sharma looked at those odds and walked away. Now she sells Xbox's games to the people who already bought a PlayStation, and last year Forza, Doom, Indiana Jones, and a stack of others showed up on Sony's console. A 70 dollar game brings in the same 70 dollars no matter whose machine you play it on. The bigger prize is reach. A few years back, Microsoft paid 75.4 billion dollars for the company behind Call of Duty and Candy Crush, the most expensive deal gaming has ever seen. Candy Crush alone has more than 200 million players a month, most of them on their phones, not on an Xbox. Count every phone, PC, console, and TV, and a Microsoft game now reaches over 500 million people a month. Sony's online network reaches 132 million. Her other moves point the same way. She cut the price of Game Pass, the monthly games subscription that works like Netflix, after admitting last year's price jump had chased people off. Sign-ups started climbing again. She scrapped an Xbox AI assistant because players did not want it and it solved no real problem. And she revealed the next Xbox, a machine built to play both Xbox games and PC games. None of this is a sure thing. The chips Xbox needs keep getting pricier instead of cheaper, because the AI boom is buying them up, and Sony still crushes Xbox on console sales. What Sharma has done is change the scoreboard. She is racing to reach the most players on every device that exists, and by that count, Xbox already sits near the top.

  @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?
