[Cedric_Eff]

At least one Jap game news outlet gave a fuck and reported on the alleged suicide.

Congrats Near-kun, your life matters more than the other daily hundred (give or take) poor saps who an heroed.
Also I ain't translating the moonrunes since there's no new info in the article

Considering this is coming from like a fourth rate website, I don’t think KF would take off in Japan.

So is there any confirmation of his death or is it still oh noes his friends sisters roommate from college saying he is dead?

We have no fucking clue. Maybe this whole thing was a bait from get-go?

 

[AnOminous]

Byuu, we know you're alive and reading this. Thank you for the material you gave us and the people exposed.

Every person noted in this thread is a list of people whose criminal histories, or just public retard histories, need a good look into as well as a good mocking and doxing.

I hope you bastards are happy with yourselves! This morning police broke into his apartment and found David had killed himself. Now we have to try and find his parents details to tell them he is dead Fucking funny right?!

yes

 

[frozenrunner]

Let's put aside the questionable logic of "you laughed at someone so their suicide is actually a murder perpetrated by you." (I have no idea who this guy is/was and would have passed him over for one of the much funnier weirdos on the site.)

Does this mean Zoe Quinn murdered that guy she cyberbullied until he killed himself? Because if this guy was murdered, so was he. By Zoe Quinn. Is Zoe Quinn a murderer?

here is the google translation

DeepL is a much more accurate translator than Google. Here's their translation.

Kotaku reports that programmer Near (byuu), creator of bsnes and higan, known as "the most accurate SFC emulators," has committed suicide.

After Near posted a picture of himself and a meaningful message on Twitter, security consultant Hector Martin, who said he shared a friend with Near, released a message from the person who was believed to be the last person to speak with him. This was revealed when Hector Martin, a security consultant who claims to have shared a friend with Near, released messages from the person who is believed to have had the last conversation with Near. According to both messages, the case was largely related to Kiwi Farms, an Internet forum that emerged from personal attacks on 4chan and is characterized by vicious and relentless personal attacks on a large number of people. A major factor in the tragedy is the fact that the personal attacks that took place on the forum over the years due to Near's autism and other issues eventually took a serious toll on people related to Near.

Near's "bsnes" and "higan" were developed not only to reproduce the SFC/SNES architecture, but also to accurately emulate the actual behavior of the chip, and are known today as the most accurate SFC emulators.

I mean let's be real here, this meme really sums up the entire situation in the least offensive dark humor way possible.

People go and neck themselves all the time, every minute across the globe, most of these people are complete nobodies, and life for those amongst the living goes on for the billions of others. It may sound nihilistic, but this guy could have been anyone else in a somewhat less niche sub culture related to video games, and nobody outside of his immediate family really was never gonna give a shit about this guy.

Yeah he had a small impact on the emulation community, but that's irrelevant when all the people who used his work couldn't give a damn about the person behind the emulator itself, hardly any people would have ever spoke his name.

He's just a statistic, like all those people who make that choice to kill themselves.

Oh dah farms are supposedly responsible for a bunch of suicides?

Oh no!

Anyway...

 

[Wowcoolusername]

Though he was innocent. and killed himself before being properly stripped of his public position so that his wife would inherit postmortem benefits that the family of someone holding public office receives when they die.

Dude, Budd Dwyer was guilty as hell. You can't even argue innocent until proven guilty; he was convicted and it was proven beyond reasonable doubt that he accepted bribes and awarded no bid contracts to whoever slipped him the most cash. There were witnesses and multiple paper trails.

 

[AirdropShitposts]

Have byuu and John McAfee ever been seen in the same location together? Why would they both sudoku within days of each other? Am I asking the questions that THEY don't want you to ask?

At the forum, the tragedy was caused by the fact that the lomg-standing personal attacks caused by Near's autism and other factors caused serious damage to Near's stakeholders

The Autism claims another victim

 

[AnOminous]

Apologies for being a newfag on this site as well as bringing religion on this topic but I do recall that Christians do not believe that suicide instantly redeems you of all your sins. If anything, it makes you more guilty.

Suicide is the sin of despair, because it contains the seed of arrogance, of believing you have committed a sin so awful not even God can forgive it. Obviously, the love of God can forgive anything. That's not really the point, though. The point is the hypocrisy of supposedly "empathetic" SJWs who proclaim themselves the exemplars of compassion, and yet anyone who says anything they disagree with even slightly is damned forever.

They routinely do the worst things they accuse the religions they hate of doing, while pretending their disbelief is somehow a virtue.

They're only quoting the Kotaku article. My advice to Kotaku would be - do your due diligence, you moronic, lazy, illiterate faggots.

Still, it's 6pm in Japan and I have no news of a dead Byuu.

Unlike his "friends", I actually asked for a check on this feral individual. Whether the local police actually do, whether the Embassy actually does, that's another matter, but it's amazing how Kotaku has the same resources no doubt, yet... couldn't fact check an article before they print it.

Amazing.

Why do i have a feeling that people only care about him just because he's a troon?

Holy fuck, they are starting to tag DeSantis

They care so much that they're using this as an opportunity to score political points, I can feel their genuine love and concern.

If you ask me, just suck it up to your current life and make what is the best for it. Commit suicide and you are just one pussy in the pile of dead twats.

Suicide is sin and the assumption is you go to hell if you commit it. But Byuu was still going to hell for being a troon so it doesn't really make a difference.

Well, as only wahmen, browns, trannies and homosexuals can be bullied, there's no such thing as cyberbullying a man. So Zoe Quinn didn't kill anyone.

So it's essentially just a reiteration of every other article released so far? Interesting that a Japanese publication is even talking about this.

Impressed you could fit so much based into one post.

Catholic doctrine holds that a person's guilt for sin can be partially or completely reduced in cases of mental illness, but I don't think the magisterium has ruled on exactly how nuts troons are.
