  @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.

  @soupybabee @KounaraChan It's not a problem for me to say I'm in a female domiant space when i say I play Candy crush, as if I were a woman and I say , I play RPGs which are male dominant space.

  An anon post rexosted by BAP and other anons just got taken down for “violating the rules” when it was calling Ben Sasse totally out of touch for saying “candy crush is the problem” ending with “kill yourself” It wasn’t even his account, it was a 60 minutes clip, we can’t even use edgy quips to express frustration anymore New regime same as old regime (except the new ones rules are arbitrary)

  @BriansBeacon @60Minutes You also have to ask people why they're not having their second or third child or whatever. In my case it was fertility issues plus health issues plus finances that made us stop at one. Oh and Candy Crush obviously.

  @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.

  @_laurabee_x @johndrewmarkley The problem is that those deceptive stats benefit no one -candy crush players don't care about the "gamer" label -male gamers are upset to be lumped in with candy crush players -female gamers are upset because it groups them with the wrong demographic ("women" instead of "gamer")

  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

  @sleepy_devo Leave it to a retarded lib to completely miss the point. He's saying if you spent your time more wisely, you would be able afford kids. It's a prioritization issue. If candy crush is that important to you, we really don't want you having kids anyways.

  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.

  @jaderants @AI_EmeraldApple Majority of gamers are men..... They include candy crush in those demographics which skews into all the women who play it on their phones and iPads....... And also no man had an issue with lightning from FF, Samus from Metroid, or even Lara from tomb raider

  @****** 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.

  @PersephoneK @SkolRant He’s diminishing the problems people encounter related to child rearing into being addicted to candy crush. That is a pretty fuckerish statement.

  @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.

  @SarcasmStardust If Candy Crush was the only thing stopping me from having kids I would’ve had one 15 years ago. I haven’t played it at all since then, nor any of its cousins. I don’t play any mobile games & rarely console games. Too busy working.

  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.

  @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.

  @Roo_VT See, the problem there is that mobile games skew the statistics and candy crush isn't exactly what people are talking about when they talk about video games.

  @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 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.
