Inactive Byuu / byuu_nyan / setsunakun0 / Near / David Ginder - "Non-binary" furry programmer who wrote a Super Nintendo emulator, tried to blackmail Null into removing his thread, and is probably actually dead lol

Byuu is dead(Again), Gamergate is making the rounds, Chris is banned from a bronycon and Trump is running for election.
Don't forget that there's a viral epidemic and another Sonic the Hedgehog movie is due out this year.
Now, if everyone is forced to shut in their own house because of a despotic government, we'll have a full monty.
 
This fool was so unimportant to the rest of his species that several years have passed and still no one can say for certain that he is actually dead.

Really think for a second how fucking trivial your existence would have to become that for several years, no one even knew if you had died. Most of you reading this would be missed within six hours of disappearing. The rest: twelve, twenty-four, forty-eight tops. This one has been "maybe dead" for literally years now.

This is not a tragedy. A tragedy is when a loved one, an admired mentor, a cherished friend is lost. This death has meant less than a lost iPhone - because no one spends several years being "not sure" if they have lost their phone.

This person's life and death meant absolutely nothing.
 
One of the things that stuck with me through this whole retarded ordeal was how many times Hector claimed that hard evidence wouldn't matter to us, and no amount of the "proof" he claimed to have would influence us.

Years pass without evidence, so we stick to our initial assessment. New evidence surfaces thanks to a Kiwi Farmer. We spend 4-6 hours verifying it. Once it's verified, 98% of us changed our position.

How the fuck to people keep pretending we aren't fair?

Wishful thinking for a favored internet bogeyman.

That faggot told us not to expect a death certificate because that's "not how it works." Well Hector, you nigger, we have the fucking death certificate now. How are you not a disingenuous spic?
Would the people involved even have cared about his death if kiwifarms wasn't what they tried to martyr him for?
Definitely not as much.
 
Not gonna read the 50 pages of the thread, but at least ouside KF on twitter, nobody cares. I found out by chance when I checked the home page, which I never do (I bookmarked Watched Threads) and if I didn't, I would have never known.

RIP I guess, but the guy was truly irrelevant. Nobody's trying to take down KF (aside from the people who do it regularly), another proof that the whole Keffals shenanigans were highly astroturfed.
 
I still can't get over the fact that nobody, not even his parents, wrote an obituary to mark his passing. The best he got was the faggot Marcan bitching about us on Twitter. His whole life ended and used to bludgeon a little web forum where people say the no-no words. It almost makes me pity him, but not quite.
Huh so the guy Keffals lied about being dead to push the trans genocide narrative is actually dead now?

Man fuck you, you made me feel sorry for this asshole :stress:
 
They adopted what happened with marcan, byuu and null and tried to use it to deplatform the site for three years. Now that the full story is out? Nothing. None of these people actually care about what happened.

It's looking more obvious as time goes on that marcan's first reaction and inconsistent story is a reflection of his own guilt about not doing something earlier. Maybe he felt like he could have saved byuu by talking him out of it over the phone. It's incredibly unrealistic to think like that.

Byuu said himself that the method of suicide was near instant. The autopsy report notes that he had a quick death. For pretty much the entire hour the stupid music was playing, he was already dead. There is nothing marcan could have done by himself except call the police, which he stalled on for several hours. It was all wishful thinking and bargaining.

Judging by marcan's relative silence after this information was released, I think he came to the same conclusion.
 
Some byuu name-dropping on the zsnes boards. Some insight into byuu's character in the early days and this stuff has been brewing for a long time, long before Kiwi Farm's existence.

Apparently even as early as 2010, he already alienated the SNES/emu community or got alienated. There are also claims that byuu doxxed someone's IP address? The emulation scene is very autistic and the zsnes community are self-described "acidic" so take their words with a grain of salt.
Many of those posts are from mudlord, who is as much of a histrionic bpd retard as byuu was so take anything he says with a huge grain of salt... he also admitted much of the a-logging came from a place of jealousy

mudlord: 10 years ago, byuu shat on me for working on old n64 stuff
mudlord: saying its completely pointless, etc
mudlord: because back then hle was the only way being done
mudlord: and of course, byuu had issues with that
mudlord: byuu constantly berated me that everything i did was a waste of time
mudlord: so i gave up everything
mudlord: including the VBA stuff
mudlord: and i had trouble with MAMEdev for the same reason
 
From what I know, it has been documented that Byuu's Japanese was less than great. I have even seen it described as "a poor grasp of the Japanese language"

Like I said, I have vague memories of browsing byuu's board many years ago, but my best guess is that he would be JLPT N3 level at best.

They adopted what happened with marcan, byuu and null and tried to use it to deplatform the site for three years. Now that the full story is out? Nothing. None of these people actually care about what happened.

I was half expecting there to be renewed efforts in DDoSing the site after Null's death certificate confirmation.

I'm pretty sure TwinAphex of RetroArch who had conflicts with byuu is quite the retard as well though I don't know much about that situation. As a third party looking in, all I see are retards retarding on other retards.

Why are people in the emudev "community" so autistic, even more autistic than speedrunners? If you ask me, people in the emulation scene can't afford to act like retards or autists and they need better PR if they want recognition or respect for the things they do. Otherwise it's just a really bad look to normies using their emulators. Speedrunners are massive autists too but at least sometimes they dial back their autism to focus on playing their games and entertaining the normie audience. Emu devs in contrast, mainly work behind the scenes so they don't get as many opportunities to play the public facing role, educating the public on what they do, show off their technical wizardry, give a human face to the emulators we use, and to give a good overall impression.
 
Like I said previously,KF was the least of Byuus problems. It seems like he was selfish person, involved in a circle with even worse people, incapable of irl relationships seeing how he totally disregarded his husband & never showed any respect or concern for his feelings or situation. It's obvious none of the people he chose to confide in gave a fuck nor wanted to take any time or effort to try to talk him down or urge him to seek any kind of reputable professional counseling, or mental healthcare opting instead to refer him to bathtub troonshine and some back alley Dr to remove his balls. He never showed any real concern about his thread,even took the time to come post & seemed semi-well received here & it was basically dead. But suddenly out of nowhere he emails null trying to extort/blackmail null. I think it was some weirdo who put him up to it or at least put the idea in his head. For the freaks to suddenly act like they cared anything about him & try to put the blame on KF is pure hypocrisy & pathetic.

It's been mentioned in the thread. They are on par in my opinion. As to why, in order to make an emulator you have to do a few things. First, reverse engineer the entire (or large portion of) the console hardware. For this task you most often have the homebrew game wikis and reverse engineered code of some more common games. That is a good starting point, but almost always (especially when making an emulator for a completely new system) you have to continue that work to make sure you have every single detail. Writing a game that can run on the console means that you need to know as much as your game will use. Writing an emulator means that you aim to recreate the machine in so much detail that it can run any game ever conceived for it.

That's a task that cannot be done blindly, i.e. I would not be surprised if most emu devs had a few different revisions of the consoles they are emulating to compare the behavior. The beauty (or horror) of those times was that game developers had little resources available and resorted to all sorts of non-obvious hacks. For example some Mario games (I don't remember which ones) switch color palettes mid-frame to fit more colors on screen (they switch it to render the underwater tiles with a different color). This is not something obvious from reading the documentation, if there is any available, but rather something you learn from analysing the game's code. This shit really takes time so if you have a life outside the computer, it's going to take even longer.

Of course they are doing it all for free and with zero official documentation, on the contrary people hired by Nintendo to develop the emulators for older games likely had full access to all design documentation and maybe even contact with the original engineers.

Byuu took that idea to the extreme and decided that contemporary SNES emulators suck and he has to make one that emulates a SNES perfectly, down to some special cases of special cases of edge cases that maybe one or two obscure games ever used. Those are features that your average emulator player does not give half a shit about, they would instead prefer that their emulator had Discord integration, or ran on Android so they can play on their smart TV, or supported loading .iso files (wink wink)

I'm convinced that one of the factors that led to Byuucide was his finishing of the BSNES. This was a huge project that took an enormous amount of work and once he finished it, his life was filled with a vacuum. Such a shock could be lethal or psychosis-inducing alone. Another factor was his "social" circle where he had no real world friends and was filled with the same kind of autists, so there was nobody to slap him in the back and say "good work". There was absolutely no need for a cycle accurate SNES emulator, for the 99.9% of people it brings nothing new in terms of games. The third factor was that he was a degenerate furry gaijin in a country of traditional values. He was sticking out like a sore thumb and his negative social skills made this even worse. I'm quite sure there could be weeks where he has not talked to other people outside work. His online friends were a cult who coerced him to start taking hormones that catastrophically alter everything about your body.

He concluded he has no purpose anymore, and started a chain of bad decisions which ended around 1 pm on June 27, 2021 as he woke up for the last time and hanged himself on an extension cord. In the circumstances and mental state he was, it would be hard to not kill oneself.
