WARNING!! The circumstances of Near’s death include depression, bullying, online harassment, among others. If any of these things are triggering to you, I would strongly urge you to NOT read this.

I am devastated by this. I’ve been following Near/byuu for a few years now and his work has been nothing short of phenomenal. bsnes continues to be my favourite SNES emulator. And the work he did on Bahamut Lagoon was amazing (even if I didn’t dig the game itself).

      I had never heard of “Kiwi Farms” before and thought the name was pretty innocent, until I checked it out. What a sick group of people.

      Same here. And I couldn’t agree more. Despite my better judgment, I checked out a few forum threads on KF. It’s a cesspool of anger, hatred and bigotry. Absolutely disgusting.
