No. If we get proof of life or proof of death it'll get featured, until then this is a toilet thread for shitting into.
There's already a thread on me I am a halal lolcow.

I've been fuckin dead to the world (do I credit my "death" to Kiwifarms or no) for the past little bit, nobody still has any credible info??? God damn. What a letdown.
They're gonna find him like they found that one missing Chinese girl at an internet cafe or something.

Irony is wasted on these ones.
Even if you were to show them the entire story of Trans Lifeline, how before the "harassment" they wouldn't help 41%ing trans for shit, how it had the worst waiting time to date, and how after the two idiots left, after they both led someone to suicide and used her death as a gotcha despite her wife's will not to, while the farms somehow respected that will, and how the hotline started being somewhat helpful only after KF's threads on it, these idiots would still say that KF should've kept quiet and let those leeching bastards get away with their scams. What a bunch of assholes.
Also, I didn't knew that telling someone to do it's job was harassing, lol.
Oy, twitter reader: start by plugging-in your brain and disconnect yourself from the hive mind.
Here, watch this video.

Bro who cares what they think we are still creeps who make fun of fat women and dogfucking trannies our morality is in the toilet regardless of who we did and didn't murder and that's fine.

Shit like that makes me think that First world problems require Third world solutions as much as Third world Problems require First world solutions. Hopefully it wouldn't come to that. Besides, KF has done more help than harm by exposing the bullshit drama and lies that people in those circles spew.
True, KF has become a boogyman to spergs. It's not just helped put dumb kids in place but also expose a lot of pedos and rats, yeah it's not the most optimistic place but at least you can still get a lot of laughs at seeing idiots fucking up. If I had to chose between those fuckers and KF, I'd chose KF every time because at least people here will respect it if you make a few stupid mistakes and learn from them while these fuckers would do anything to drive you to off yourself and then blame someone else if you don't play ball. If KF really did lead to people killing themselves, there would be hell to pay and Josh as well as some KF top dogs would be jailed, it's just a shame these people don't get jailed but yeah, at least they get to live in a hell of their own making. Besides, every sane Kiwi know they should never go out and harass people or become members of some retards personal army of doxers.

During the DDoS I actually saw multiple retards on /g/ saying that KF was responsible for Terry getting kicked out by his parents (and thus for his death). My understanding has always been that /g/ sent him the drum set, so for them to blame KF for what happened to Terry is pretty fucking rich.

Obituary – Near
Hi there community,
last Sunday a tragedy befell the emulation community, when Near tragically took their own life. While we feel Near needs no introduction, we feel it is only right to let people know of the extent to which Near’s work laid the foundational framework of Libretro/RetroArch, and what other great projects they worked on, including of course bsnes (which needs no introduction at this point).
Among Near’s other great accomplishments: libsnes (which later turned into our fork, libretro), libco (a cooperative multi-threading library), Higan (a multi-system emulator), Ares, and various other auxiliary projects.
Out of respect for Near’s untimely passing, we have delayed the release of the next RetroArch by a full week. You won’t be seeing us doing any promotional material or coverage for it until then, and who knows, we might even skip going into it at all. We feel this right now is more important and should get front and center coverage.
We asked three people familiar with Near to provide their own eulogy. Recognize that we speak from the heart and that our purpose in doing this is to pay proper respect and tribute to a great programmer in the emulation scene, the likes of whom we might never get again.

About 15 years ago, I was just getting into open-source software and the Super Nintendo was always my favorite console, so I was excited to find a relatively new open-source emulator that ran even the weird, unpopular games. The author of the emu had a forum where they posted their releases and all the cool stuff they were working on, and that forum was home to a tight community of other smart, creative folks.
That forum was the old bboard, and that emu author was, of course, Near. As we all know, Near was extremely prolific, driven in their pursuit of perfection, and generous enough to share their many accomplishments with the world at large. In addition to their work on bsnes, Near also documented their relentless reverse engineering escapades on the bboard, along with their efforts to understand the entirety of as many facets of software development as they could, top to bottom. The bboard was home to some pretty epic (in the classical sense) threads in which Near would dive head-first into topics–like the fundamentals of signal resampling–that most of us outside of graduate-level computer engineering programs consider black magic.
It is no exaggeration when I say: without Near and the community they cultivated on the bboard, there would be no libretro and no RetroArch.
Libsnes (which would serve as the basis for libretro) was Near’s design to decouple their backend code from the endless frustrations of frontend coding. The bboard is where Themaister first developed and released SSNES, which would become RetroArch. They met Twinaphex while attempting to port bsnes to the PS3 via libsnes+SSNES on Near’s behalf. To this day, many of our cores depend on Near’s libco cooperative threading library. I could go on.
With that said, we did not always agree or even get along. Near’s perfectionism frequently put them at loggerheads with individuals who felt some thing or other was already “good enough” (that is basically the tl;dr of how libsnes became libretro), and, on a personal level, I do not presume Near considered me a “friend” (or even thought of me much at all, for better or for worse). Like most of the people reading this, I suspect Near had a much larger effect on my life than I had on theirs.
Nevertheless, I hope Near understood the immense positive effect they had on my life and the lives of countless other individuals, not just through their numerous accomplishments but also as a compassionate and insightful human being. The world is a less-interesting place now, without Near.

We were never the closest friends; I was around for a while, but I was always more interested in bsnes than you, Near.
I now realize I was wrong. Too many open source maintainers are valued only for their contributions and otherwise taken for granted, leading to tragedies like this.
May you finally have the peace you were denied in life.

I have been a bsnes fan since the very beginning when it was first announced. I remember running Mega Man X2 on an Pentium 4 PC at the time in 2005 with a premature version of bsnes and feeling that finally there was an emulator that could get the sound exactly right, and it played exactly right. Those are memories and experiences that I will always cherish.
I was not even really involved in programming until around half a decade later. I had a chance meeting with Themaister around 2010 when Near was trying to see if bsnes could run acceptably well on a PlayStation3. It didn’t, and we pretty much got stuck at the 50fps mark, but what that chance occurrence did show me was the massive potential of libsnes as an emulation abstraction layer and how easily software could be ported across platforms so effortlessly without having to maintain multiple copies of a codebase per platform. I was sold there and then on the entire potential of libsnes and SSNES. And one thing lead to another.
Fast-forward to 2021 and it’s been well over a decade since the project started and I’ve been running it now for all this time. You now know of libsnes as libretro and SSNES as RetroArch but the core concept has remained fundamentally the same, right down to the same API. Where there was in 2010 only one emulator implemented as a core (bsnes), now there is nearly 200 implementations, and not all of them even emulators. The only credit I can take in this is that I have put an inhuman amount of time in building the road so that people will come with daily maintenance and coordinating of projects so that everything works well within Libretro/RetroArch as an ecosystem. But Near absolutely deserves the credit for coming up with the foundational pillar on which this all stands. While I won’t profess to be a brilliant coder myself, I do recognize brilliance and potential where I see it. And projects like hiro, libco, and libsnes definitely show that raw genius that was in Near. I’m afraid it will be highly unlikely we will ever see a programmer as gifted involved in open-source emulation again, certainly not one with as much commitment and passion. Everyone with an appreciation for the Super Nintendo (yes, even Nintendo themselves) owes a huge amount of debt to Near for doing the near impossible in documenting and preserving this system and its back catalogue for all of posterity. It is very rare that you see someone with such selfless commitment dedicating themselves towards fully preserving a system.

Near was a very kind and sweet person, who cared for others. They were very talented and was amazing at what they did. I hope that they have found peace.
