Why are the Latinized/Romanized forms of ancient Greek names more popular? (fedia.io)
 

E.g. Tartarus instead of Tartaros, Daedalus instead of Daidalos, Cerberus instead of Kerberos, Cassandra instead of Kassandra... There are a lot of these names that are more widely used in their Romanized forms. Yet if we talk about mythological names instead the Greek names are more widely used (althrough this was different over 200 years ago)

What's required to recreate an ancient musical instrument? (fedia.io)
 

E.g. reference designs, sizes, etc.

Are UI design languages like Microsoft Fluent Design or Google Material Design considered ideas? (fedia.io)
 

Does this mean that they can be used in any platform regardless on whether they are officially supported by the design language's creators?

What are the best Halloween-themed music for today?

Is Elden Ring a good Breath of the Wild replacement? (fedia.io)
 

Title. If not what games are almost direct BotW replacements

It used to be available between August 2021 and August 2022

Can a software's version codenames be names taken from popular culture? (fedia.io)
 

e.g. Can a software use a naming scheme based on Genshin characters, WoW locations/zones, etc. for their version codenames?

Why video games exist after all? (fedia.io)
 

Since they don't have any useful value other than providing entertainment to the user, why they exist?

11
Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom for Xbox? (fedia.io)
 

Sadly these two games are exclusive to Nintendo platforms, is there a way to play them on a Xbox Series S through emulation, using a legitimate (not pirated) copy?

19
Why other OS vendors haven't copied Android's Material You theming? (fedia.io)
 

That's a feature added in Android 12 that changes the apps themes based on the wallpaper. While other OS'es like Windows 10 and 11 have a similar feature, on Android it's more complete and app backgrounds etc. are also tinted based on the wallpaper's colors as well. Why they haven't implemented a similar feature in their OS?

Additionally, a few years ago, I have seen a post on Reddit about a town in Canada whose streets were named after Warcraft universe locations. (I have forgotten the post but it was really about this)

That was about AI generated artworks actually.

Are UI layouts of video games subject to IP protection? (fedia.io)
 

I couldn't get a real answer to this question. Can just the layouts be reused with everything else (i.e. overall design) being original?

Historical figures, too many to specify

Yes.

What games have relatively simple artstyles, but that are still hard to learn & reproduce? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

P.S.: Do you agree with me that the art styles of Hades and Genshin Impact are hard to recreate? I may be wrong but since I'm not an artist at all, I may be right too.

If you were to reproduce the art style of a video game, what video game would you choose? in c/[email protected]

Furthermore, if the selection of games was restricted to games released in the last 5 years, what game would you choose? (This is separate from the main question)

In 2023, Baldur's Gate 3 became the first game to win Game of the Year awards on all of the five major game awards (The Game Awards, Golden Joystick, DICE Awards, Game Developers Choice Awards and BAF in c/[email protected]

If you are interested in the historical vote split for past awards, just go to the article linked in my post and look under the "Awards and ceremonies" section. Then look for the awarded games between 2014 (the year that The Game Awards launched) and now.

Reddit's spam filters are the worst in my opinion. They filtered me yesterday on a 7 day old account, that could previously post without issues. Anyone else has the same problem? I deleted my account in c/[email protected]

Not to mention shadowbanning. Even through Reddit introduced account suspensions as an alternative to shadowbans in 2015, they still shadowban users today, especially newly registered users.
