Yesterday’s article was eventually lost, so it doesn’t matter whether you support it or not. The key point is that this is not something we can discuss.
I have been sick for the past two days. My throat felt uncomfortable last night. After I delivered the night report, my fever started to rise to 38.5. I slept soundly all night. Now the fever has subsided, and I am starting to have a runny nose and cough. All these symptoms make it seem like I have become positive again.
The virus that terrified us a few years ago has now become part of our daily lives. My family gave me a universal prescription: drink more water, get more sleep, and that's it.
When I was watching the news this afternoon, I found that the housing price data for August was released. This is an important data that I observe month by month, and I immediately became excited:
Overall, it is still the same, with no improvement. Except for Jilin, the remaining 69 cities are all falling. Beijing and Shanghai have been flat for two months, and joined the falling army in August.
The sales prices of second-hand homes in first-tier cities fell by 0.9% month-on-month, an increase of 0.4 percentage points from the previous month; the sales prices of second-hand homes in second- and third-tier cities fell by 1.0% and 0.9% month-on-month, respectively, an increase of 0.2 and 0.1 percentage points from the previous month.
Instead of slowing down, the decline accelerated.
The most outrageous is Xiamen, which fell 2.2% month-on-month and 14.6% year-on-year, and this is the official data. How many months will it take for Xiamen locals to earn back the 2.2% drop in housing prices in one month?
Another city that rose 2% month-on-month is Huizhou, a second-tier city in Guangdong. Previously, the concept of Shenzhen spillover has been hyped. Now Shenzhen is struggling, and the surrounding cities will only be worse. This is just like stock speculation. Once the leading stock collapses, the second, third and fourth dragons that seem to have less growth and are cheaper will fall more.
Every time I publish this table, someone will ask why Suzhou is not included. Isn’t it good that it is not included? If the data is not released, it means there is no decline. Otherwise, it is quite annoying to look at it every month.
The past two years have been a good time for those who are waiting to see what happens, or those who are planning to upgrade their housing to a bigger house. The monthly drop in housing prices is equivalent to 3-5 months of their salary. They can earn five years of free money by lying down for a year. However, those who have been working hard on the traditional path have been hit hard. Many people have left me messages complaining that if they hadn't worked so hard in the past few years, they wouldn't have lost so much money now.
In short, the trend is still a typical downward wave, with no signs of improvement. It is recommended to continue to wait and see.
……
Let's talk about something else. I used my free time these days to play Black Myth again, either for the second round or by starting a new game and playing it again.
The first time I played it, it took me 43 hours to complete it. The second time, I was familiar with the game and it only took me 22 hours. This is about the normal process time after the game is squeezed out of water. I opened the statistics of the little black box and found that I died 27 times in total, 8 of which were at the little yellow dragon. Most of the other bosses were not stuck.
This does not necessarily mean that the Little Yellow Dragon is the most difficult boss in the entire game, but that when you first encounter it in the normal process, its level is usually relatively low. As an optional boss for the side quest, its health is a bit thick, and the tolerance rate is low when fighting it.
There is a hot topic now, which is whether Black Myth can win the Game of the Year award at TGA next year?
There is still a chance, because 2024 happens to be a small year for games, and there are not many blockbuster works in the world. The current popular ones are Final Fantasy 7 Remake, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, and Warhammer 40k. The highest-rated one among them is FF7 Remake, but usually the best game is not awarded to a remake. I was in the second grade of junior high school when FF7 was first released, and it has been almost 30 years.
As for the remaining two, objectively speaking, I think they have no advantage over Black Myth. Even putting aside nationality, I think Monkey King is more fun.
Based on my feeling, I think there is a 30-40% chance of winning the grand prize, and at least a few sub-categories such as picture and music.
I tested it a few days ago and found that I could live broadcast in the video account linked to the official account. I played for a while and more than 40,000 netizens watched it. It was my first time playing in front of so many people, so I was a little nervous. As a result, I went out to fight a small soldier and failed.
That is not my normal strength. I will resume broadcasting after I have recovered in a few days.
