>play retro rpg>everyone talks in ye olde english
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.
>>12824363that's based though
perchance
>>12824490based on what?
>>12824728On how people used to speak.
Name 532 examples or shut up
>>12824363Thee doth speaketh thou truth, dost thouest not?
>>12824826Did they though?
>>12825704It'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.
>>12825704Yes, 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.
>Frogpost thread>It's fucking dogshit
>>12824363WHAT HATH THE REDDIT FROGGE TO DOON WITH THAT?>WHAT HATH THE REDDIT FROGGE TO DOON WITH THAT?WHAT HATH THE REDDIT FROGGE TO DOON WITH THAT?>WHAT HATH THE REDDIT FROGGE TO DOON WITH THAT?
>>12824363Yeah the thee/thou shit gets really old.
>>12825982>>12826092
>>12825878Thee is not a fancy way of saying the. It means you. As in "O ye(thee) of little faith".
>>12826505Re-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. ;)
>>12826545If ye = thee = you then that is an incorrect usage.
>>12826560You just don't read. YE=THEPRONOUNCED 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.
þes þræd me myngode þæt ic nu geo zeldan ealdspell on eald englisc awende. ne hlod ic swa þeah mine awendunge up on þæt net þaþa heo fulfremed wæs ne ic nu ne mæg for ðon ealle weorold wenð on gedwolan þæt hio mid gay ai geworht wære.
>>12826604>YE=THENo it doesn't.
>>12826634Yes 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.
>>12826637It means you. I literally cited an example of it used that way here>>12826505
>>12826640Nope. 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."
>>12826634nta 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 caseye olde english = þe olde english = the olde englishbut in the case of "ye faithful" the meaning is "you faithful"
>>12826642Ye 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".
>>12826649You don't even know what the goal post is.
>>12826653Anon, 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. :)
>>12826654Nice concession.
>>12826661No 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.
>>12826703You didn't refute me here>>12826653
>>12826718No need to refute someone who is clearly incorrect. Have a great day, and I mean that. Play some N64 or something, videobro.
>>12826723Oh so you don't know what the goalpost is? Well thats funny.
>>12826731Please keep the thread on topic. You have been warned.
>>12826736What's your favorite video game with Ye, in it?
>>12824363Oftentimes it's not even grammatically correct.
>>12826293based
>>12827406how so?
>>12824363Fuketh off ye olde frog poster
>>12828420why are you so mad?
I guess OP tried to play an Ultima game
>>12824363did you want the characters in a fantasy setting to be saying YEA YEA YEA NIGGA to each other?
>>12824363
>>12831763yes
>>12824363doesnt happen that muchbut 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 gwyndeilowylyynmkfor all nip->eng translations, in level of importance, the translators concerns should be>physical character limitPOWER GAP>localization>direct translation>muh artistic visiononly when all of the above are satisfied, should the ones beneath be considered
>>12832271what
>>12832696cheater butt LOL
>>12826092frog from chrono trigger talks in ye olde english
>>12824363>play fan translated rpg>everyone talks in a shitty mockery of ye olde english, and the dialogue is riddled with eyeball kicks that almost certainly weren't in the original japanese.>play professionally translated rpg>a lot of weird rewrites that don't make much sense, and the female characters' personalities are changed to girlbosses.
clean as an elven arse
>>12828376Because 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.
>>12837261ummm yeah well i thinketh ye are naught but a sticke in yon mudd :))
>>12837607Bodied that freak.
>>12826632That'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.
>>12837632Art thou madde? Ye frustrated?
