You don't even play games. It's Friday night, and you'd rather bait post here. I'm just popping in to call you a faggot before I go back to Quake.

that's based though

>>12824490
based on what?
>>
>>12824728
On how people used to speak.

Name 532 examples or shut up

>>12824363
Thee doth speaketh thou truth, dost thouest not?
>>
>>12824826
Did they though?
>>
>>12825704
It's more based on how people thought people used to speak.
>>
>>12824826
>used to speak.
People still pronounce "ye" as it is supposed to be said as: "thee" not the word, but the fancier way of saying: "the". Yes, it's not a "Y" sound and never was.
>>
>>12825704
Yes, even if it's Shakesperean English and not actual old english that even Shakespeare wouldn't understand. It's no longer tacky or kitsch now that the average person talks like a nigger.

Thee is not a fancy way of saying the. It means you. As in "O ye(thee) of little faith".
>>
>>12826505
Re-read my post, Anon. I know. I was saying that the "Y" (Thorn NOT the letter "Y") is said as *like* thee, not the word three.

So to be sure: "Ye"= You and said as "Yeee" (or as thee), sorry for the mix-up. I wanted to repost so you knew I wasn't being rude or butthurt.

Btw the only game I play that has that language is pic related. It's also using the word correctly as "the" pronounced "thee" not the word thee. ;)
>>
>>12826545
If ye = thee = you then that is an incorrect usage.
>>
>>12826560
You just don't read. YE=THE
PRONOUNCED AS: THEE.
>>
>>12826560
>>12826545
*gah I messed Up. Of course it does NOT mean "you", but "the".
This is what happens when one posts off and on when they're cleaning their house.
>>

>>12826604
>YE=THE
No it doesn't.
>>
>>
>>12826634
Yes it does. It is not a letter Y that we use, it's THORN. Go check.
"Your Rapids"?
Come on, Anon. At this point, you're trolling or just rolling around in ignorance.
>>
>>12826637
It means you. I literally cited an example of it used that way here
>>12826505
>>
>>12826640
Nope. In some instances it's a pronoun, but those are rare. You're trying to tell me that "Ye Old Blacksmith" is meaning to say "You[r] Olde Blacksmith" and that's wrong. It's "The Olde Blacksmith."
>>
>>12826634
nta but they used Y instead of Þ when using early printing presses where they didn't have Þ or something like that (and 'th' wasn't used yet), so in op's case
ye olde english = þe olde english = the olde english

but in the case of "ye faithful" the meaning is "you faithful"
>>
>>12826642
Ye old blacksmith is grammatically incorrect and was only used in the 1800's to make things sound olde.
>>
>>12826647
>*moves goalposts*
Vidya like this?
Anyway, in Dragon's Lair, those signs are not saying "Your Rapids" or "Your Boulders".
>>
>>12826649
You don't even know what the goal post is.
>>
>>12826653
Anon, let it go, you're wrong and insisting that you're right. Wikipedia, AI, and regular websites agree with me, so do all teachers and professors. Have a good day. :)
>>
>>
>>12826654
Nice concession.
>>
>>12826661
No one is arguing that.
>>
>>12826697
>ok, everyone else says you're right, so I AM RIGHT

lol
I wonder if anyone in the history of video games has ever beaten Dragon's Lair II on their first try. I bet not.
>>
>>12826703
You didn't refute me here
>>12826653
>>
>>12826718
No need to refute someone who is clearly incorrect. Have a great day, and I mean that. Play some N64 or something, videobro.
>>
>>12826723
Oh so you don't know what the goalpost is? Well thats funny.
>>
>>12826731
Please keep the thread on topic. You have been warned.
>>
>>12826736
What's your favorite video game with Ye, in it?
>>
>>12824363
Oftentimes it's not even grammatically correct.

doesnt happen that much
but thats why i prefer the GBC ver of DW1 over the NES one. nob makes a great case for why in-game character-per-screen limits should be the primary concern for all translations, with everything else being distant secondary and tertiary concerns. the gameplay speed and snappiness of the GBC port just makes it better to play imo, and a lot of that is because its lady lora, not princess gwyndeilowylyynmk

for all nip->eng translations, in level of importance, the translators concerns should be
>physical character limit
POWER GAP


>localization
>direct translation
>muh artistic vision
only when all of the above are satisfied, should the ones beneath be considered

clean as an elven arse

>>12828376
Because our society has been slowly going illiterate, case in point everyone says "old english" like a fucking retard if not "ye olde english" like it's the cleverest shit ever when it's straightup mental retardation to think and believe that.
Furthermore, people cannot even spell or grasp modern English grammar as it is today, you think they're using thee/thou correctly? Do you know the difference? You could look it up, people can't even look things up.
>>
>>12837261
ummm yeah well i thinketh ye are naught but a sticke in yon mudd :))
>>
>>12837607
Bodied that freak.
>>
>>12826632
That's pretty cool if true anon. But yeah you're probably too late now sadly.
>>
The problem is that normalfags call Shakespearean/Early Modern English "Old English", like it's fucking Beowulf, while also not knowing the difference between "thou" and "thee" or any of the conjugations. ESLs bitch about it because they get filtered even harder. People are illiterate retards.
