Here's a link to the Wikipedia article of Reddit - it mentions the protests that ensued after her firing.

Here's a good r/OutOfTheLoop post about her.

Edit: Let's round off our coverage of Victoria with a Snopes article about her firing.

A rather infamous Reddit employee/administrator who's generally regarded as being responsible for the Golden aga of IAMA on Reddit (as she personally vetted and brought in some big name AMAs).

She was let go, which was one of the first instances of Reddit's foray into the realm of anti-community bullshit.

DHCP as in it's an ethernet connection to a residential router that provides the device with connectivity details.

Normally this isn't considered as secure as a bad actor can cut the power or connecting cables (e.g. If you're using dsl) to kick your system offline.

And, yeah, my old security system absolutely had an old 2G/EDGE modem to connect and send basic signals (as a fallback, in case of the above power cutting scenario). Was great.

It's bizarre.

In my last apartment, I literally had to fight to get a DHCP/ethernet + EDGE (yes, really) connection installed.

They kept asking me why I want two 😅

Yeah, I recently bought the GL-MT6000 and it's been great.

Those responses on Twitter are surprisingly wholesome. Sucks that there was a leak, but I doubt it'll affect the launch much.

Really hoping this'll be a great game; fingers crossed.

If you don't want to pre-order, don't. But don't just assume that the cancelation of a playtest means the game is broken.

Announcing they've gone gold, two months prior to launch, is surely to assuage doubts that the game is being rushed or incomplete.

It's the correct move, and shows that they believe in their product. Hopefully it isn't a deception.

Genuinely hope this one turns out great, as I loved the first game.

That's not what "going gold" means.

It means that they've completed development and are prepping their final release CDs/builds.

Functionally, it means development has stopped because the dev team has deemed it complete enough for physical release builds.

As a Turkish person, ooph. Sorry you had to deal with that.

We've got some nice coming from Turkey, but also a bunch of shit heels. These days the latter outnumber the former, sadly.

Nameless Puppet was definitely harder than Isshin, in my opinion.

Isshin was tough but very fairly designed. Part of NP's moveset in Phase 2 is a bit gimmicky and hard to dodge/block, which is a bit of a pain.

I think Isshin is easier only in that it's a better designed fight that rewards you more for learning his moves and tells.

If a summon was available, I'd use it. My logic is that the designers gave me access to these tools, why not?

Having said that, the Nameless Puppet is the only fight where you don't get the summon - so that's the one time the designers expect you to "git gud".

Great fight, the hardest I've ever seen in a Souls-like, but technically fair. Just gotta learn those parry timings, yo.

They most likely mean expensive. I disagree, what with the game's quality and runtime, but that's me. I love Lies of P.
