Oh man. In 1997 a sweet looking car Called a Plymouth Prowler came out and little tween me made my aim name, email, and eventually ebay name Prowler1234 (numbers changed).
I never thought about how totally sketch it was to be on aim and in forums with the screen name Prowler. Lol
I think I still have a couple in my garage with the settings printed on a piece of paper I had taped to them. What a pain. No more cable select for us!
When I was 10, all games looked like Minecraft's textures. And you can forget 3D. And the controllers were square-edged bricks that left stinging blisters in your sweaty palms after 12 hours of Super Mario 3. And the flickering CRT leaving your eyes dry as a desert with a pounding headache. Those were the days let me tell you.
But you know what we also had? Instant loading times, no waiting on updates, and no lootboxes.
I don’t think it is necessarily bad grammer, maybe it is obsolete? Keep in mind I am not a native speaker.
“Risen” in this case is not a verb but acts more like an adjective, “the one who has risen”. I always interpret sentences like this as “He is the one who has risen.”
They’re quoting the KJV of the Bible, it’s incorrect in modern language, but I found this:
“It’s an archaic use of English which conjugates verbs of motion with be in present perfect, in much the same way as French still does. The statement is the equivalent of “Christ has risen” and is stating a present-perfect fact.”
