I'm wanting to post this question real quick to ask: It's 2015, and emulators like ReGen, Snes9x Next (SuperFX Emulation) and even Dolphin has an overclock feature. Hasn't been confirmed dead, with the only proof being from a random friendĢ.Hello. Now… We are victims too, and now we are without our friend. More people who cares than he knew about. KiwiFarms should be ashamed to have let this happen, and their sponsors and hosts need to act. Seems like blood is on your handsĪ call to action was proclaimed on a retweet of the original thread, with Twitter user serving as the main hub tweet for people to air their frustrations about Kiwi Farms, as well as openly make plans for attacking the site for what they perceive to be the cause of the alleged suicide. So if you lived nearby, knew Near was having these issues, and knew which police department to contact about this case, why did you not do anything? And same to the anonymous friend who listened to him take his own life instead of trying to help.
Other users online took umbrage with the document and said that the person who wrote it, and himself for knowing these things and not attempting to help Near, indicates that they should have more to answer for. Mind DMing me the number you called so I can confirm? Twitter user replied to one of original tweets, asking for the number of the police department for verification, and was quickly blocked. While many have been using this time for mourning, others have been skeptical while calling into question certain parts of the story as well as the suicide itself. Now that light hopefully has passed to us all to carry on that legacy. That willingness to do better, and keep doing better, setting the bar higher and higher.
He was a light to the community of emulation enthusiasts. After finishing the Higan emulator, which was also allegedly used in helping to give Stephen Hawking his voice, Near turned their attention to the collecting and dumping of retro video games online. At a young age, Byuu had always expressed interest in translating retro games and in 2004 decided to create the most accurate SNES emulator possible, ultimately finishing this task in 2011.
īyuu, called Near in other parts of the internet, was a prolific figure in the world of emulation making. The post pointed out a long-standing history of abuse online aimed at Byuu (more recently at the hands of Kiwi Farms) and cyberbullying, resulting in the apparent suicide.Ī message about Near from a mutual friend. This past Sunday, a tweet from the account (Hector Martin), a security consultant and hacker, was posted on Twitter with a document attached that contained a personal account of someone claiming to be a mutual friend of Byuu, detailing their final interaction before they died. Kiwi Farms, the discussion forum and online community dedicated to gossip about various internet users, has once again found itself in hot water this week after reports of BSNES emulator creator Byuu's alleged suicide on Sunday led to an immense outcry online. If you need support or are dealing with suicidal thoughts, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline's website or call 1-80.
