  Lakota Ma'am (@Blacknatwatch) reported 44 seconds ago

  @SmashJT The problem Anita has is that her company advocates for representation of groups that don't buy many video games. Women overwhelmingly play stuff like the Sims or Candy Crush. It actively hurts these companies when they try to market to their non-core demographics (men).

  @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,

  @_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")

  @mpm773 @CWBChicago Nah not really. Main problem is nobody wants to work anymore. Cops would rather play candy crush in their cars for their shift

  @UmberHouse @Sir_Dammed Yes, *I* make it a quality issue. The whole problem, at its core, is a quality issue. Anyone can eat cheap fast food, that doesn't make everyone a gourmet. Just like anyone can play candy crush and that doesn't make them gamers

  @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.

  Been working on level progression for my little piano game And been thinking; what happens if candy crush (and those sorts of games) wanted to add new levels at beginner stages? Or remove levels? Is level 10 on the original candy crush still the same level 10 now? I doubt it. I’m guessing they just replace the level and those who already finishes never knew. But I just never considered that before

  @quadrapuni @_Hero_Hei_ The only issue I have with this is they are not easy to replace. Viewing devs as replaceable commodities is how we ended up in this situation. We fired the expensive people with talent, and hired Jessica who said she played candy crush 1 time, losing all that institutional knowledge.

  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

  @MiaAI_lab I have been long time arguing that we are approaching situation where most of the models, including the best local models, are good enough for most tasks. As the models improve in agentic usage & coding it will be increasingly more more expensive & difficult to test them. They will all do pretty good Tetris, Flappy Birds or Candy Crush Saga clone etc. I feel guilt that I have been testing Ainiux more or less just ad hoc there and there. My recent 6 different tests on a multi-million lines of code base is not enough. I would need to do hundreds of tests like that, but that would consume far more time and token credits that I have. While theoretically a solo developer can create something very large and complex, he/she will not likely have the resources to test and finetune it as much the big best funded labs have. This means the leading AI development will remain to capital intensive. Those who have capital will have a massive advantage. They can deploy swarm of tens of thousands of AI agents to do the work for them - those working in loop graph testing, verifying, benchmarking and improving each other's work. I feel we are soon at this stage they will start self-improving, assuming you have these kind of resources. I'm afraid nobody here in Europe has.

  @dissidentwest I rely on Facebook...to login to Candy Crush. Am I going to lose all my progress?

  You remember when Facebook was the go-to social media for gacha games back then? It's because that social media site had one huge selling point; It was the only social media that let you save your progress across devices. Say for example you upgrade your phone but need to move your account to your new device. That's where Facebook's login feature comes in for games like Clash of Clans, Candy Crush, and even those Korean gacha games.

  @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.

  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.

  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.

  @kananaskinyeti they also have no problem with the vampire capitalists rigging everything online with casino addiction marketing, all those candy crush games of sparkle and jingle made to psychologically snare them in a dopamine loop to suck money out of them.

  @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.

  @LateNightCandi_ They get these darn data sets that show all these female gamers but don't know its mostly Candy Crush and Bejeweled. This female tsunami of girl bosses in games is going to really help collapse a lot of AAA and Government funded devs. And Sony is having a real tough time. They keep doing this. Whats worse is these radicals pushing this in studios are unable to self-reflect and admit a mistake. Always blame anything but the real problem.

  @CollinRugg This is not a bad thing of course, but I don't understand why they can't use cell signal blockers around the school to prevent cell phone use (allowing kids to keep them on their person) and have it set up so that in the event of an emergency, a kill switch is activated deactivating the cell signal blockers. Seems more reasonable to me; gets the desired result (no cellphone use in class) and also allows immediate access to emergency help in the event of an emergency. Is the problem with this idea that kids use their phones even without cell signals? To do what? Play an offline version of Candy Crush or something?

  The Air India Boeing 787 has flight recorders, satellite feeds, and NVM chips tracking everything down to the pilot's heart rate, but the government is still convinced Aunt Priya's Candy Crush high score holds the key to the crash.

  @soupybabee @naheshas but the problem isn’t mobile gaming? nobody ever talks about that and you know it you’re just being dishonest, mobile gaming is an outlier and is only big because phones are a requirement in our lives trying to include candy crush moms into conversation about gaming is insane
