Hi, I Just wondered if anyone knows how Near is doing. I appreciate he is retired and taking his life in a new direction but I just wanted to know how he is. I hope he is doing well especially with all the lockdowns and things. I noticed byuu.org site has been down for a while so it made me more concerned. Thank you very much to anyone who knows how they are and is kind enough to update me. Cheers. Bob. |

I just wondered if anyone knows how Near is doing Ares v120 was released about a month ago. Though it seems like he has deleted his reddit account. I noticed his byuu.org site has been down for a while https://ares.dev https://bsnes.dev https://higan.dev https://twitter.com/ares_emu My current setup: Super Famicom ("2/1/3" SNS-CPU-1CHIP-02) → SCART → OSSC → StarTech USB3HDCAP → AmaRecTV 3.10 |

Posted by Kawa Hi, I remember him saying he was changing his name to Near but wasn't sure if he was still using Near either or was now using a different name. Now I know Near is still being used by him I will use that from now on. Thanks very much for the heads up. Regardless I just hope he is healthy, happy and doing well. Best wishes. Bob. |

It's even on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27652814 ...Damn, I have no words about this. I'm coming from a 6-hour city-wide blackout just to learn this. It's miserable how some parts of mankind love watching the world burn. In the meanwhile, mankind overall has lost another misunderstood genius. Truly horrible, I have nothing else to say. UPDATE: Oh man, didn't knew his lifetime dream was now a thing: http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=32952 This only makes the whole situation even more painful...

... There is a special place reserved in hell for the people who did this to him. I am tempted to throw the gauntlet to 4chan or 2chan and destroy these people by the very same method they themselves use; at the same time, I know it would accomplish nothing. These guys are mindless bee drones. Kill one, two more takes their place. The SWAT party van will arrive at their house one day too. The problem is not them per se but the dehumanization going on. I can't even put words to describe my feelings of rage, sadness and disgust to what these people do. R.I.P. Near. |

Thankyou very much for the links and info above about Near everyone. It does seem to be true from those links but I pray it is a mistake as I am finding it hard to accept this If it is true this is so damn upsetting, I just don't get this world what the hell is going on. Near gave so much. I was very lucky to communicate with him personally to thank him from the bottom of my heart for all he has done and continued to do. I told him he had a truly beautiful mind and was so incredibly gifted and a such a wonderful person. He was suffering not only with mental health issues but also with his hands from years of coding. I knew he loved food from all his twitter posts and after much persuasion he eventually accepted a donation to buy himself a nice meal and have a glass of wine as a huge thank you from me. I will never forget him and may he rest in peace at long last. I am gutted. Bob. |

Just found this too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms#Suicide_of_Chloe_Sagal Mentions Near on here. I don't understand how people can do this to someone it is beyond words. |

Posted by Bob-P- I'm afraid the room for "mistake" has grown incredibly slim over the past two days. It is heartbreaking, but real. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by CaptainJistuce Yes you are right, it is just starting to sink in. This is heart breaking and absolutely tragic. I am upset and very angry as well. It is hard to put in to words how I feel. |

I just read this now, and I'm a bit tearing up and my fingers are trembling. Admittedly I interacted with Near far less than others in this board and the prior one through the years. And as far as talent or sheer determination I'm a mere pleb compared to them and others here. But I do enjoy frequenting here, even just to lurk around or post some random nonsense. But the things other creatures do to people are just beyond appalling, disgusting, infuriating... im beyond words, but virtually powerless to do do anything. I still have yet to understand the inner workings to why these things happen to people who absolutely do not deserve it.I just pray to the powers that be that these vermin eventually get their just desserts. Somewhere, some how, some day. Rest in Peace, Near. You will missed. I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |
