This reeks of a publicity stunt to increase traffic. Especially after the bullshit answer given.

I'm not being funny but that is the purpose of nearly any askreddit IAMA (is what I meant) thread. Any celebrity that comes on is always doing it to promote their new film/show for example.

Yeah and this guy was offering that trade-off in terms of the things he wanted to nerd out about.

The marketing department looked at reddits demographic and said 'hey wouldn't it be cool if we sent a geek to hang out with all the other geeks' and then sent out one of their top geeks and put their feet up.

He's a systems engineer. I have absolutely no doubt he has zero control over what ads are run.

I also know that it's absolutely par for the course in a large company for the left hand to not know what the right hand is really doing. But both left and right hands know that when asked tricky questions about one another they don't just immediately drop the other in the shit.

You basically say something along the lines of 'Errrr I'll ask the manager,' and get back to them later.

How do you fart in a space-suit ?

Could you be any painfully more millennial with your game jams and travelling and quirky company name and beards and macs and zelda figurines and casual gameboys "accidentally" left in shot with clearly adult man?

I expected nothing less as a reply.

All the best.
