The brilliant, highly respected emulator developer Near (previously known as Byuu) appears to have taken their own life.

Concerns first arose yesterday evening, when the famously private programmer tweeted a photo of themselves followed by a string of messages suggesting suicidal intent.

Then, early this morning, well-known security consultant and hacker Hector “Marcan” Martin shared a Google document (content warning: contains explicit details) said to be authored by a real-life friend of Near’s, which is widely being accepted as proof of their death.
 
This makes me sick to my stomach that someone would be so cruel towards another human being, nonetheless someone who was supposed to be there friend. I can merely speculate that it was something in the document that lead to his demise. It's unfortunate when people let others cause them sadness and frustration. I will pray for this person as I can feel in my heart, (a lot) that they have no yet passed on but we welcomed into Heaven any time they want. I get vibes and I am not a complete psychic but have been known to be right on some things when there was no way to know how. May he rest in peace and be with the lord jesus christ.
 
That's really tough to read, as someone who has struggled with similar issues. It's not right to bully someone for being the person they are, and everybody deserves compassion. I wish he could have gotten the support he needed.
 
Absolutely disgusting! @Demon_Skeith could you censor the name Kiwi Farms, and it's URL? I feel that it would be insensitive to allow members to post links to such an awful forum!

Rest in peace, Near...

And to the drones at Kiwi Farms: You will eventually get what you deserve! I hope the worst things happen to your forums, and I hope Anonymous DDoSes your site back to the STONE AGE!!! I unleash my Fire and Ice powers and burn, freeze and cast you all down to the deepest depths of Hades!!!
