  Gen-Z is not lazy or stupid, and telling them they are will just make things worse. They have executive function issues as a result of being handed a screen ever since they were children by moms who became addicted to candy crush by the time the kids were around 7.

  @thomaslhorrocks It’s both, my good sir. Candy Crush is just shorthand for the problem he means to indicate, and I think you know that. But that’s a micro reason. One macro reason is what you correctly mention: It’s much harder to afford early-20C domesticity than Boomers would like to believe.

  @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.

  I’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.

  Makes sense — it's not much better on the consumer side either. Windows keeps "fixing" the wrong things: Windows 8: ugly design → backlash. Windows 10: fixed it → everyone happy. Logical next step for Windows 11? Fix bugs. Cut bloat. Speed it up. What did Microsoft do instead? Redesigned it all over again. 🙃 The actual to-do list sat there, untouched: • Start menu — stripped down, centered by default, less customizable than 2015's version • Ads — built into the Start menu and lock screen. A $2,000 laptop that also sells you Candy Crush. • Copilot — wedged into every corner, nobody asked • TPM 2.0 — legit security call. But ditching old hardware was the perfect excuse to also ditch the legacy code behind it and ship something leaner. Instead: more bloat, and a higher entry price. Somehow this counts as "innovation."

  @KoryNParker @Taxeconomist I feel for him and his family, but hard pass. I’m tired of the media trying to get us to listen to this guy. He’s so out of touch. Saying Americans are playing Candy Crush instead of having babies…he’s done nothing to address affordability issues during his tenure in the Senate

  5. He played Candy Crush and used some other apps for seeing what's happening in the stock market and YouTube. YT is where I encountered the problem with the feed he was getting. It was filled with the complete AI slop of PM Modi. Any nonsense about Modi it would be there.

  2. 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)

  @thomaslhorrocks I see a lot of ugly people posting things like this…someone needs to let them know it’s not a problem for them - they’ll never be forced to choose between candy crush and mating

  Maybe, it’s the fact nobody can afford anything, stock buybacks, etc. not “candy crush” also, so what? Your moloch gets hungry?! Sounds like a you problem.

  @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.

  @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.

  @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.

  The crash also caused Officer McGinn to forfeit level 46,384 of Candy Crush.

  @Gravantus That means you've been infected by Candy Crush, and have no mental ability to understand or overcome it. This is a real problem. Deal with it.

  @IdleSloth84_ Honestly, it seems that management over Xbox Studios and Bethesda was the main issue. For sure some employee redundancy led to layoffs, but I don't know if Xbox would be better or worse w/o ABK. At least, CoD before BO7, Warzone and Candy Crush probably brought some money.

  @JessicaHamel19 @MeghanEMurphy it’s better to spend 18 hours a day yelling at internet people then playing a game that has puzzles and requires problem solving. They are just jealous they suck at 99% of games besides Candy Crush

  @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?

  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.
