Of all the words to leave untranslated like a bad anime fansub, you say "dexter" instead of "right."

A little googlin tells me this is lore text from fucking Destiny. Leaving obscure phrasing was probably trying to make it sound even more philosowank.

Destiny?

The glorified rental?

There's a heavy emphasis on multiplayer and cooperative team missions, but you can also just enjoy the game by yourself, as long as you're connected to the Internet. It's one of these games where if your connection is down or PlayStation Network goes down or something, you've got to then go play your Sega Genesis. Enjoy games that DON'T need to be connected to the Internet to work, like M.U.S.H.A., Herzog Zwei, or Revenge of Shinobi. So basically, no matter how much you pay for Destiny, you're just renting it, because at any point they can just shut it down and force you to buy the next one. Ah, the future of video games. It doesn't even matter if your game console works in ten years, because the games won't. So hang onto that Atari, kids. It'll serve you well.

It’s actually free to play, angry-guy

How much of the content is locked behind $40-$60 "seasons"/expansions though? Maybe it's merely a failure of their marketing, but I always got the impression that if I wanted to play everything I'd be shilling out over $100/year.

Why are you guys so upset that the people who write stories might use words you don’t recognize? Done purely to fluff things up in spite of empty content - sure that can be lame, but a writer using a single Latin word in an otherwise interesting short parable is somehow a bridge too far, requiring squelching of the conversation (+3, -3)? Nuts lmoa

I'm not upset. My swearing was just expressing amusement that the text game from a shooter game. Hey +3,-3 is better than 0,-3 eh.

Of course, I was using the general “youse guises”. Considering the other options served up today though I don’t really see the grounds for complaint lol

Did you like the piece?

Do you think this was written in Latin originally?

Who says "the dexter road?"

Not any normal human being alive today.

You may as well have said "The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft a'gley" because that's how the phrase originally went.

Maybe the author didn’t want to use the sinister road in his story? Who knows
