According to MetaCritic, Zelda: Breath of the Wild topped "best games of the 2010s" lists, appearing in 1st place in 17 of these lists. In 2030, what game of the 2020s decade will appear on the 1st place in most of these lists? (It should be noted that we are in the middle of the 2020s decade so this may change as new games get released).

A full Gregorian cycle lasts 400 years, and interestingly, common years (i.e. those with 365 days) beginning on a Tuesday or Thursday are slightly more frequent than common years beginning in other weekdays. (44 vs. 43 for other weekdays) In leap years, 15 begin on a Sunday or on a Friday, 14 begin on Tuesday or Wednesday and 13 begin on a Saturday, Monday or Thursday. And if you are wanting to know the frequency of specific days falling on a certain weekday: it's between 56 and 58 times on a full cycle, depending of the year type. E.g. October 19 falls on a Saturday in 57 years of a full calendar cycle, but 58 years have it falling on a Monday and 56 years have it falling on a Tuesday. It's just me or is the Gregorian calendar very weird?

    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.

  • For me Genshin Impact and Hades (including Hades II) are two examples. These games have relatively simple art styles in comparison to e.g. the realistically painted art of certain Blizzard games (WoW, Hearthstone hero portraits), but they are hard to learn even to someone more advanced in art creation.

    Reusing names of characters, locations, etc is allowed because they are not subject to copyright (only trademark, and in very specific cases). But it is bad on unfair to do so?

    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.

    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.
