    I remember being very confused about the 'arrow in the knee' meme, because my first Skyrim play through was as an Argonian and the guards were too busy abusing me and calling me a lizard to regale me with their rich backstories.

    When Pokemon OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire came out (remakes of Ruby/Sapphire), there was an infamously memed review that gave the games 7.8 (a lower score then the originals) a key complaint being "too much water", despite there being no difference in the amount of liquid between them. 3 years later in Pokemon Sun/Moon, you got access to a camera mode that made funny comments when you took pictures. One such comment is "7.8/10 too much water". Pretty easy to guess what the developers were poking fun at there.

    Given its lifespan it's no surprise, but Pokémon has a fair few of these. One of my favourites is in Pokémon Sun and Moon and their "Ultra" versions. When you take a picture in one of the photo locations near water, you'll sometimes get the comment "7.8 out of 10, too much water". This is a reference to a 2014 review for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (the previous games in the series) which rated the games 7.8 out of 10 and cited the region having too many water routes as a con, which became a meme among Pokémon fans basically overnight.
    Another, albeit less self-referential one is in Pokémon X and Y where a specific Psychic trainer will state after you beat him that your power must be "Over 9000!" referencing the iconic Dragon Ball Z quote meme.

    I don't think it was ever a meme but in Dishonored there is a guard in the Knife of Dunwall DLC that congratulates another guard for getting their own squad.(If you listen to the guards talking one will often ask if they think the other will get their own squad after what happened last night.)
    Or if you pick up a cigar in Prey (A different Arkane game)the description will say it smells like whiskey (another reference to something the guards say in Dishonored)

The glitch in question was that leaders had an agression rating and Ghandi's was as low as it could be, however, (iirc) the Democracy govenment type lowered agression for any leader that used it which in the case of Ghandi caused his aggression rating to roll over and become maximum. Basically, once India discovered democracy they became incredibly warlike and would indeed use nukes, if available, at the drop of a hat.
