Brandon Farley (@TheRealFarley) reportedWhat I saw/experienced on my regular 1-hour walk today through my Northwest Portland neighborhood: Right outside my place, a junkie who stood 3 feet tall was arched over smoking Fentanyl; to which, I told him to take that **** somewhere else; he was later discovered in a doorway, one block away, arched over with his bare *** exposed to the sidewalk. I watched another homeless man getting jacked off in another doorway by a crackhead. Progress: I saw that TriMet had fixed the Streetcar glass that was broken yesterday by a flock of open-air junkies across from Safeway in the once-thriving Pearl District. A white woman flapping her ******** in the wind was jogging, crossed my path, and immediately fell on her face; to which, I stared at her blankly, never breaking stride. Grown adults with extremely gay tattoos consuming endless amounts of sugar and playing with kid's toys, because they don't know what else to spend their money on. The gamification of society, packaged as a Candy Crush injection of tiny scrollable dopamine hits on a hand-sized device that depletes your soul's essence. Dogs that bark at me for no apparent reason. (**** dogs) Endless amounts of trash, tents, broken glass, unlevel sidewalks, pedestrian crosswalks crevassed in potholes, people texting while driving, people walking while texting and stepping in (possibly human) ****.. I mean.. the list goes on and on. Portland is just one big ******* catastrophe after another. It's gotten so "normal" out here that I don't even know what to film or photograph anymore.. Everything all around me is... CRAZY - that's the only word I can use, at this point. If I were to stop and film it all, I'd never get my steps in. But, don't take my temporary absence as "giving up" or a form of complacency. Sometimes, I need a few days, weeks, or even MONTHS, to decompress, because **** is really hectic out here, it's literally turning me insane; and I've been documenting the decay for 8 years. Very few of us go out and do this - I'd rather be spending my time maintaining good physical and psychological health - along with my new favorite hobby, AI art.. unfortunately, I always go back to covering the same insanity.. When will Portland get on the right track? Maybe never... Somehow.. I'm still standing.

Anish Moonka (@anishmoonka) reportedThe 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.

Chris Fox (@heychrisfox) reported@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.

Doodooballs (@poopkatana) reported@Imlying14 @xShephardx Bro are you actually 8 do you honestly think I play candy crush the rage bait might be working

becky goop (@neuroshmancer) reportedre asha saying "we want 1BN daily users" it's better to think like, well that's obviously not achievable with a console model, what other ways might they add to measure that? for example MS owns candy crush, /w a MS login that's thousands of daily active users from the NYPD alone

Scarebro 💀 🦴 (@TheScarebro) reported@Fernan1393 @prettyantipod The Internet just keeps getting shittier. Before it was just the nerds who knew how to get a modem working. Then it was the people who could afford cable and a computer. Then it was the libtards who could buy an iPhone. And then it got to the point even grandma had a phone for Candy Crush and Facebook. The DV is just the talk radio fanbase escaping containment from Facebook as radio dies and transitions to streaming. Except without the awareness that the Internet needs to stay on the Internet, because there was always that one crazy person on a forum or a Usenet group who would totally visit you and stab you in the face if he could put an address to your username.

Boney R. (@boney2r) reportedA 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.

AEGI Phoenix (@AEGI_Phoenix) reported2. Difficult Content is the worse part of Dokkan. (Remember this for future takes). Makes people enjoy a unit less (OMG they’re bad against Phy Bio-Broly? ***” Often rewards aren’t worth the effort. (Call it a skill issue, idc. It’s like calling someone bad at candy crush)

Mama Moose🫎 (@Cqtheresa) reported@CandyCrushSaga seriously. This game has tested my patience this week. Yet again it crashed just as I earned the super colour bomb. Please fix this issue,

Gabe Rosner (@grapesrosman) reportedI think it’s crazy that, in a city where idling a car is illegal, this morning I passed at least 250 EMPTY NYPD vehicles, all idling with their windows open. Summer Streets feels like a huge police grift I swear the Candy Crush servers will crash today @NYC_DOT @NYCMayor

Rob (@SamuraiPizzaRob) reported@conrat4567 Using the term “non gamers” in your own tweet sort of helps make the point that attitudes have not really shifted that much. Which is half the problem. Someone can play Candy Crush every day on their commute and will still say ‘oh my know I’m not one of *those* people’.

Techguy (@paradoxx97) reported@Cyberdost Let me tell you the reality. I have visited cyber cell for atleast 20 times and I have never seen your officers working. They are either watching reels, playing candy crush or having chit chat with colleagues over cup of tea.

Steve Zrimec (@ZrimecSteve) reportedBut are we totally sure the problem isn’t Candy Crush?
-
Ararara Lebortini (@lebortini96910) reported@SoraJoestar1 @adamstannow @illusPlatypus For beast it in fact is, beast's lead easily two turns every boss in the game with no issues, which mean that both actives are in fact enough. Get better at the candy crush with flashy animations ig
-
Edgy Boi (@Deadfool6969) reported@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.
-
Ange (@Ange1736496) reported@CandyCrushSaga why tf did yall push me back a level? I was not on this level I passed this level already. Your game is buggin out and yall need to get it together and fix it. It’s not even fun to play anymore . Cash grab *** game don’t ever install this game yall
-
Koko210 (@Koko21100) reported@cappytainswag @shitpost_2049 They play games as much as your auntie plays Candy Crush imo. Not judging, play what you want, but they dismiss the entire OS because their 2-3 zoomer sweat farms are purposely blocked on it. People who play gameS plural would not have many issues at all.
-
Participator (@NickGomenis) reported@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
-
Kynnigos (@kynnigos) reported@The_Epic_Mike they really think candy crush and farmville makes them gamers the problem is that the development companies believe this too they think they can convert the candy crush crowd to AAA games, which is just pure insanity I know zero women who own a PS5 or Xbox, zero, none

Marco Capelli (@adamdived1) reported1st: 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.

Allegedly M (@SoAllegedly) reportedI’m not having kids because there’s endless wars, humans are destroying the environment, healthcare is expensive, college costs are high, the housing market sucks, and I have a lot of health issues that I don’t want to pass on but yeah, candy crush.
