Why thank you good sir/madam.
I'm pretty sure Austin did and talked about it in one of the e3 day wrap up things. And in a podcast too.
That's weird, the embed page source code has changed the url, adding a 'x' prior to the filename. Did you manually edit yours to remove the x?
Yes. Remove it and it works.
Guess we'll find out next week if it's intentional...

I don't want to derail this thread too much, but is anybody else watching Reddit implode, live, before our eyes?
I just got home, gimme the cliff notes or a link.

/r/SubredditDrama.
I can't guarantee that link will be valid soon. Basically, a storm has been brewing for months mostly revolving around Reddit's very controversial CEO Ellen Pao. Tonight, a user-favorite Admin was abruptly fired and many popular (read: DEFAULT) subs have gone private.
The hashtags I'm seeing are #TheDarkening and #RedditRevolt.
Even in the middle of an imploding controversy that site is still fucking impossible to read or comprehend.
It's pretty nuts, but this is what happens when a business relies so heavily on a community but doesn't really involve them. It's why companies like CCP have community ambassadors/representatives - no matter how ceremonial the role may actually be, it's the appearance of being involved in the discussion which counts.
This Victoria thing just seems to be the straw that broke the camel's back - lots of the most dedicated mods over there have been complaining for months/years about the lack of communication.

they were idiots for getting rid of the linchpin, let's just put it like that.

So what's the deal with Ellen Pao? Sorry for being ignorant as I don't follow Reddit very much (though I understand how huge it is).

So all of the Reddit people migrated from Digg, where are they going to go now?

It was going to be something that triggered it, but firing an admin that was well-known to be beloved by the community seems... I don't know, calculated? Symbolic, maybe? Intentional even.
I have been a daily, avid Reddit user for years, but I am all for burning it to the ground at this point.
I'm going to try to be as even-handed as I can here. She recently lost a gender discrimination lawsuit against her former employer, and is considered by some to be an icon of the victim culture/third-wave feminist type.

New female CEO and all the dark corners of Reddit think she's driving some SJW-fueled conspiracy against freeze peach because they started banning some of the worst of the worst subs.
In the context of other decisions (not the Fattening stuff, prior to that particular buttermine), I think the admins are just out of touch with their own platform.
Yeah I have no idea what the fuck i'm looking at in that subreddit drama link

Goddamn, they're going after frozen peaches now? But they are so delicious and refreshing!

She has a funny nickname, Chairman Pao, that's about as much as I know.
She's the one who shut down those hateful Subreddits right? I thought that was a good thing.
I dated a girl back in the 90s who had a cat named Chairman Meow, which was an even better name.
Her other cat was named Alex P. Kitten
wow, that's pseudo-racist. or maybe a great pun. I actually legitimately can't tell.

Reddit is honestly decent if you just go to the very specific subreddits, like cricket, masterchef and yogapants.

The guy's been a free agent for less than two full days and already people are saying that he's drawing out the process needlessly and he just wants attention. People do this every year, but they never seem to realize that any in-demand free agent is going to weigh all his options carefully before deciding. NBA careers are at most 10-20 years for the very best/most durable players, so you'd probably want to think really hard before committing 1/4 or more of that time to one team.
