    The “synthesized big watermelon” translation given by Google Translate is not wrong. 合成 means both synthesize and synthesized, and without the context it’s impossible to tell; in this case the correct translation would be “synthesizing big watermelons”. Rendering 合成 as “merge” is fine but not a literal translation; the word 合成 is a chemical term not in everyday use, so “synthesize” is appropriate.

    This game is about some *extremely* deep mathematics: epidemiology and dynamical systems. Just because you didn’t throw PDEs on the screen doesn’t mean they weren’t there in the background.

    Oh man, I remember playing a lot of mindless 2048 back in the day. I discovered the corner strat pretty early on. It does inevitably get tricky with the very large numbers... although I guess it's heavily luck-based by that point.
    I think a lot of people just didn't play the game long enough or get invested enough to find out about the corner strat. It was easy to pick up and seemed difficult to master, and that was enough.

    I remember, several years before Suika Game was a thing, I played a game with the same general concept...that was called "Couch 2048" and used the 2048 numbers on the circles instead of fruits. (It wasn't exactly the same; the walls were much shallower, which changed the gameplay significantly, but it still makes the whole situation much more complicated...)

    9:08 see for anyone "online app you need to pay hosting if you want more than 2 people to play the game " and also the ui and elements use frameworks which are not paid, adverts are a good way to keep the game running as long the adverts dont ruin the experiance

    12:10 the words he cheng means 'merge' but can also be 'synthesise'. you're right that Google translate ignored the word 'big', but that's a sort of exaggerating feature of Chinese that can often be ignored in daily speech. for example to say a hill is flat in English, you would say 'that hill IS flat'. however no native Chinese speaker goes around saying 'that hill IS flat' (那山是平的) unless they're a primary school teacher or something, they would say, directly translated, 'that hill very flat' (那山很平). children sometimes are taught to add an adjective to words as they learn, for example green grass vs just grass, big watermelon vs just watermelon. not to say that google translate is correct because it literally called the watermelons synthetic, but I would personally translate the game as 'Watermelon Merger', and leave out the part about them being big.

    1024 is actually the first game of this kind I played many years ago! Only some time later I played 2048 and thought about it as "1024's clone" (the number is bigger, so I assumed 1024 to be the first and more natural, as 2^10 is a "round" number!), while... I never, ever heard about Threes until now! 🤣🤣
    edit: ohhh... looks like I had to play some clone of 1024 or something.. I don't remember the name, but it was on Kongregate in flash player, many many years ago :D

    frankly, this is the first i've heard of 2048, I've only played 2248, which is.... not really a math's game but masquerading as one, I think? You match as many tiles as you can, starting with at least two of one kind, and then the next in the series and the next and the next and they all add together. It's pretty great in my opinion. There's a 2048 knock off I've seen that's a mix of tetris and 2248, and I'm not a huge fan.... idk I feel like I'm missing something. Maybe it's because I'm on Android.
