ItвЂ™s always hurt me deeply enough that I canвЂ™t describe it in words. From my earliest grade school memories to now. The honest truth is, IвЂ™ve been bullied, ridiculed, and humiliated my entire life. HereвЂ™s the statement Near released prior to the suicide: The suicide was due to the cyberbullying efforts of forum site Kiwi Farms. They also bought an entire North American and Japanese SNES/Super Famicom collection to dump them and ensure the ROMs were as faithful as possible. Their work in retro gaming preservation is remarkable apart from working on BNES since 2004, he also assisted the developers of SNES9X to improve its emulation capabilities. Pretty sure higan/bsnes's existence has benefited and inspired so many more people than some obscure game's prototype being released.A message about Near from a mutual friend. Personally berating something like that is just entitled dickness and ignoring the bigger picture for your own selfish benefit, even if prototypes and rare things are cool, the bigger picture is that legal distribution is sketchy and questionable, while hardware reverse engineering and using such projects that come out of it is not in any way, shape or form as long as the patents have expired. I wonder if near/byuu's game prototype collection - which remained unreleased - provoked extra circlejerking from that community, which is something even a lot of people outside KF took issue with. I have to wonder too if this had relations to their ROM/game 'hoarding' thing too - while hating on transgender people, more specifically far-left furries/weeaboos who tend to lean adjacent to these types of communities as a whole, is a common theme among KF users. If anyone made us all aware of just how important the integrity of such things are within emulation, it's them. Near/byuu will always remain in the spirit of future projects due to him pushing the focus back onto accuracy and preservation of hardware to the point of being able to do 1:1 replication on different devices. Guess it's corruption at its finest, and on both sides of the political spectrum, corruption is bad. The worst part about the whole scenario is that KiwiFarms will likely be able to survive for as long as the owner remains close friends with CloudFlare's higher-ups since well, we all know that one CDN has essentially half the entire internet under its name somewhere along the lines.

(Also, fuck, I remember that with Rachel Bryk - haven't heard that name in a long time, but damn that brings back some memories.) Jul 10th They offered their entire life savings to get the thread taken down I believe. Trying to remain 'neutral' enables the oppressors.

There is no neutral position on this matter. I also want to reiterate that we at the melonDS team stand with our fellow emudevs, and against all practices of discrimination and harassment like those that have led to the deaths of too many of our fellows already. The amount of time and effort they poured into this is well over what I can hope to do, so I can only commend the dedication they have showed. These domains are important to me, thus I've always had great respect for Near's work. Their work on emulation and preservation has been astounding. While the consequences leading to this sort of event can be complex, the role bullying and harassment have played into this is clear. Our fellow emudev Near committed suicide. This is not the kind of thing we can ignore. Well, today I was going to work on DMA timings (besides, the notes in the previous post aren't quite right, go figure), but I learnt about what just happened and decided I would write this post instead.
