I’m pretty sure comparing this spike to the spike from when he actually did drop out is exactly what they intended to do. They’re showing that even though this spike exists relative to recent weeks, it’s small compared to the number of people who were relatively on the ball.
Outer Wilds (and Echoes of the Eye) technically qualifies with the community’s rules, but I think the answer more in keeping with the spirit of things is Shadow of the Colossus. The Opened Way is the most “fighting a building-sized monster as a normal guy but still winning” piece of music I have heard
Honestly I don’t think that is necessary to explain this. China is seeing the same issue as western countries with birth rates way below replacement, but it hardly has any of the immigration that mitigates it for (most of) Europe and North America. It’s not easy for an economy to support an ever-increasing proportion of its population being retirees
So you’ve become a “Great King,” have you? But why do you still continue to speak about “friendship” and about coming to Mt. Ammana?.. For what reason should I call you “friend”?..Do those who are not on familiar terms with each other call each other “friend”? Why then should I call you “friend”? Were you and I born of neighbours? As my grandfather and my father did not call the King of Assyria “friend,” you should not keep writing to me (about) “coming” and “Great King-ship.” It displeases me.
