Talk:Synthesia (video game)

Untitled

• This isn't even the right word the correct spelling would be Synesthesia or Synaesthesia

So I'm removing the following:

Synthesia is the medical term for the rare ability to detect numbers and letters as colors, as well as in their traditional form. Its cause is not known, but some neuroscientists suggest it might be due to the brain combining multiple senses (for example, those of sight and sound, or taste and smell) into larger, all-encompassing senses, permitting a person with synthesia to perceive the world in ways most people cannot.

and redirecting to Synaesthesia where all of this information is already J E Bailey 02:45, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Features

• Should the features that are included in the current version be listed on the wiki page of Synthesia?

I also think it would be helpful to update this article with the current features of Synthesia. It has changed significantly, with many more features being only in the paid version. The current version of Synthesia only allows you to play a few sample songs, and all other songs or midi files cannot be played unless you pay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.198.125.137 (talk) 07:54, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Closing source

• This article implies that for computer software, "open source" and "commercial" are mutually-exclusive. Such is not the case. Pmocek (talk) 07:58, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
• No source for the description of the author's reasoning for ceasing to make the software's source code available to other people is cited. Pmocek (talk) 07:58, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

On Linux

• The article states, that it is for "as well as Linux using Wine".

Wine is not an emulator (strictly speaking) and it's impractical and misleading to list emulated platforms as done here. After all, almost every Windows application can be run on Linux using Wine with a little work. I don't know if there is some guideline or policy regarding the matter, but until someone better educated in this subject says otherwise, I'll remove this section.

Synthesia → Synthesia (software) – Since the article Synthesia (company) was created on March 4, pageviews have increased to levels similar to this article. I'm not sure, however, if it should be disambiguated as "software" or "video game". –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:31, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

• Support Synthesia (video game). It was originally called "Piano Hero", and the cease and desist letter sent by Activision to the developer as well as the developer's response, specifically claims it is a "video game". That seems like open-and-shut evidence to me. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:59, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
• Support per nom. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:28, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
• Support making the base location a disambiguaiton page -- 65.92.244.127 (talk) 10:20, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
• Support Synthesia (video game) because it seems like "Synthesia (software)" may also refer to the software made by Synthesia (company). BegbertBiggs (talk) 13:48, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
