The National Suicide Prevention Hotline in the U.S. They also contributed to the famous fan translation of Mother 3, and recently released a improved re-translation of the SNES game Bahamut Lagoon. He was a towering figure in the field, and will be sorely missed. His work raised the bar for emulator accuracy and the preservation of video games. They authored higan (formerly bsnes), which is generally considered the most accurate Super Nintendo emulator available. Near (Byuu) has previously appeared on HN as the author of BSNES, Higan, and other emulators for retro gaming systems. Near, who previously went by the handle Byuu, was a notable fixture of the online emulation scene. However, that abuse had intensified in recent months due to the toxic cyberbullying forum Kiwi Farms. Near-who was nonbinary-stated in their Twitter thread that they had suffered a lifetime of harassment and abuse from bullies over the years. The Google doc has been accepted by many as proof of Near's death, in part due to the hacker's intensely private nature. Later, on June 28, Martin said that he spoke to the police department in charge of the investigation, who confirmed that Near died on June 27.
Then, on June 27, notable hacker Hector Martin posted a Google document that he said was authored by a close friend of Near's, which contains explicit details of Near's death. Several friends of the developer grew concerned when Near posted a photo of themselves along with several messages that seemed to suggest suicidal ideation. The emulator developer Near-a highly-respected luminary in the fan emulation scene-has died, according to social media posts from a close friend. As long as the drama and the ass bring turnover, the gafa will let it go.Content warning: this article mentions suicide and self-harm.

On a more sombre note, I've been playing this one through on BSNES on my PC and Phone, and I was saddened to find that the Author passed away last week. It's very rewarding, especially since they are at times very well hidden. Now, later in the game, I'm constantly surprised at the number of secrets I'm stumbling on. Initially I found it tough I've played a lot of modern metroidvanias this year, and they all are pretty hand-holdy in comparison.Īs I worked my way through the opening areas I started to appreciate the unguided problem solving and exploration. As usual it's a blind playthrough, no walkthrough. Yes! I finally got the gravity suit, this is my first play through of Super Metroid.
