suicide, kiwifarms 

near, the developer of bsnes and higan and a number of other wonderful things, is dead

they were basically singlehandedly responsible for the push toward accurate snes emulation, and they were a legend in game preservation

a harassment campaign by kiwifarms drove near to suicide

in near we have lost a great mind. i hope they find peace in rest, and i hope the murderers responsible for this never have peace again

suicide, kiwifarms 

this type of shit, pushing people to end their lives, is absolutely disgusting. they really are murderers.

re: suicide, kiwifarms 

@typhlosion Fucking hell. Every time I hear about KF it's nothing but a den of people being the shittiest of the shitbags. I really wish that place would get wiped off the internet.

re: suicide, kiwifarms 

@typhlosion Not long after reading this, I was trying to explain to a couple friends of mine what an amazing person we just lost. I hadn't read the doc yet, though, and... it finally caught up to me.

There's a _lot_ to process here.

near will not be forgotten.
