Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Now you’re all gone, got your makeup on
And you’re not coming back [x]

Inspired by the beautiful indie game, Gone Home.

I got enough nugs to get to Nug IV.

That sucker has WAR PAINT on.

The Coventry Carol is super perplexing and mysterious when people chose to leave out the verse about Herod. Like, if you’re gonna leave that out, why put the song on a Christmas compilation anyway?

Pre-purchased AC: Liberation HD on Steam. I’m super excited that it got released on PC finally.

Merry Happy New Year to me.

Finally figure out how to do something in MS Word, and it decides to…freeze up. Word is like, “Oh, were you trying to do something? Maybe you want to reconsider that decision.”

I spent so much time in Early Modern and Medieval English lit that between that and Mass Effect, I have to think really hard about how to spell that word that means “person who herds sheep.”

Because I will spell it wrong if my full concentration is not on it.

Notice how I did not even bother trying to spell it just now.

THOU = “YOU” WHEN YOU’RE FUCKING DOING SOMETHING.

THEE = “YOU” WHEN YOU’RE HAVING SOMETHING FUCKING DONE TO YOU.

THY = “YOUR” AND “YOURS” WHEN THE THING YOU OWN BEGINS WITH A FUCKING VOWEL.

THINE = “YOUR” AND “YOURS” WHEN THE THING YOU OWN BEGINS WITH A FUCKING CONSONANT.

IF YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE SHITTY OLD ENGLISH TEXT POSTS, DO IT RIGHT.

ST/EST ending = “you” verbs.

TH/ETH ending = “she/he/it” verbs.

NO ENDING FOR “I” VERBS.

“old english”

if you want to be a pretentious dick about obsolete pronoun forms, at least be pretentious the right way

I’m open to hearing corrections.
I’m all for the learning (is it “middle”?).

It’s actually Early Modern English. Early Modern is sometimes called Elizabethan English, so think Shakespeare.

Middle English is a lot less regular about spelling. Think Chaucer.

Old English is super not like our English. Think Beowulf
