  @GrageDustin Genuinely curious to hear how this is the result of a staffing problem? Do we want an officer on every street corner playing candy crush most of the time? We do need more staffing for other purposes but IMO if the force was at full capacity it's not going to stop these incidents.

  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.

  @photo_matt "Why did Candy Crush replace Bejeweled?" --> This is likely more of a business than an art question (though I am willing to be wrong here). I don't think making money off of art is bad. Art doesn't have to be L'shem Shamayim. I think one of the biggest problems in classical music right now is that they make their money off of grants and institutional patrons instead of from ticket, concession sales, tours, and merchandise. It warps the entire incentive structure and is the reason why modern opera is largely crap. Some of the greatest art is/was made to satisfy consumer or individual patrons. But I think there is a difference when you are pandering to lowest common denominator human (I mean be real with Candy Crush, any 3rd worlder with a phone can play it) and when your art is aimed towards people that have more of an intelligent/intellectual base.

  @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.

  If you're being disruptive, that's a loud music and inconsiderate ******* problem, not a video game problem. Just, wear ******* headphones. But the only people who don't do that are literally boomers. The amount of unmuted Candy Crush I've heard from women pushing 70 is absurd.

  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.

  Zohran’s admin has done zilch for my neighborhood. Public services are the same: buses are slow/infrequent, park issues not fixed, trash everywhere, cops play candy crush, poor and homeless people remain unhelped. If you think these PR stunts matter, you are truly a muppet.

  Having knowledge of both worlds, there is a reason why the classics are the classics and what a rando 19 year old from Hong Kong makes will be forgotten in the next 20-50 years. It's something you can learn to feel. You can learn to have the good taste to understand the difference between contemporary works (as good as they are) and classical works. I don't mean this in a snobby way. I remember a decade ago when the game Undertale was all the rage. Where is it now? Do people still talk about it? Do people even care about it? On sale for 75% on steam. Now, will there be "classical video games"? I don't have doubts here actually. It will be curated, however, and it won't be any random video game. Candy Crush (3B+ downloads) likely won't be there. Maybe the random 19 year old from Hong Kong will make something that transcends its time and place, but I wouldn't bet on it. Every year there is a top-100 chart. How many of those songs will be played 100 years from now when all of the teenagers who listened to it during their formative years are no longer there? The classics may be limping along now because we are in an era that does not appreciate transcendental beauty enough. Even people trying to produce new art in the classical form have this problem (this is at least true in classical music/opera space). But the hope is that it will survive and limp along until another Mozart or Handel or Bach comes along. And despite all of the troubles the classics has, you can still listen to pretty rare/obscure pieces if you want and appreciate them along with the commonly appreciated ones.

  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

  @CREID2852 @Empty_America Candy Crush is played a few hours a day, a huge chunk of the players way past fertility. What our society does, keep trying the same stupid solutions is the very definition of insanity. The reality is, there is not fix and we don't need one.

  @Sir_Dammed The big issue is how the demographics of games like Candy Crush is used to torture statistics and give companies misleading data. There is no amount of gay race feminism that will get Candy Crush moms to play Call of Duty.

  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.

  @JohnnyGaming9 @khaliltooshort Yeah this isnt true because men and women play different genres entirely which is where the issues in making games are. Also, this stat likely includes mobile gaming which is a joke. The stats need to show how many people console and apC game. Not mobile. Every phone had candy crush on it for example. That doesnt mean upu are a gamer.
