So how is this, is the protagonist of this game really a homosexual or what? What is the next topic, how do you pronounce "Ryu"? Cause we all said “gayden” back in the day. I never thought it had anything to do with sex. The dude loves Irene who, through cutscenes, leads me to believe is a woman. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% pronounced it "guy-den", as did everyone I ever heard say it, until well into adulthood. In fact it may well be that VGS is the first time ever heard anyone say "gayden" unironically. Obviously a kid or two may have say "gayden" while teeheeing about it, but we all knew it was properly pronounced "guy-den". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not different countries so much as different eras. While we were all playing NES and saying Gay-den in the 80's, Gloves was a slobbering baby sucking on his momma's teat...

Ehh it's not that surprising, Canadians. Maybe it has something to do with about being a-boot.

Andy_Bogomil | 818 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Gay.. same goes for Mario with a hard A. I say it "incorrectly" but it's just regional accent from the Northeast US/Canada. I use to get flack from my American friends online even though y'all say 'sarry' instead of sorry and pronounce a lot of words that have A as a first vowel with an E sound (ex 'begel' instead of 'bagel') Maybe more of an East/west thing after reading gloves replies, I dunno. Nobody I knew pronounced it guyden when I grew up but it's not like it was a common word/phrase. Edited June 19, 2023 by Andy_Bogomil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody I knew pronounced it guyden when I grew up but it's not like it was a common word/phrase. I find it interesting that short vowels can all sound similar at times. Quick example off the top of my head, try to pronounce the U in "injure" as a short E or I, there is very little difference and often wouldn't be noticeable at all if you heard somebody else do this. Even an O (as in "major") sounds pretty much the same. Maybe this isn't so in Canoodian talk but as someone who grew up in NJ (and doesn't have a "Jersey accent") that's how I am. Canadian, Cunadee-en, Kinadee-in, Kenadian, all sound the same as I would say them. Begel is straight up wrong, though Bagel has a long A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
