Found a deleted Reddit AMA from 2014 in the Wayback Machine
I was digging around for old gaming stuff and stumbled on a cached version of an AMA that got pulled like an hour after it went up. The guy claimed he worked on a canceled Half-Life project and dropped some wild details about cut levels. I grabbed screenshots before the cache updated because I knew it would vanish again. Has anyone else found deleted stuff that way before?

My internet archaeology mostly just digs up my own old LiveJournal rants about anime, so congrats on finding something cool.

Dude, I tried the Wayback Machine once to find a deleted MySpace profile from 2008 and ended up in a cached version of my own cringey blog about how much I loved Guitar Hero. Consider yourself lucky you found something that actually matters. At least your find is cool and not a digital time capsule of bad fashion choices and even worse opinions. Now I'm just jealous my internet archaeology skills are only good for excavating my own cringey past.
