All we have to go on is one guy who supposedly knows him and spent 90 minutes on the phone with him yet did nothing to stop him. What's even fishier about this is that there is zero evidence that he's dead.

No one had even looked at that thread until Byuu emailed the admin at KiwiFarms and attempted to extort him into taking down the thread and further threatened suicide if he didn't. Apparently pointing out people being unethical or crazy is 'harassment' now. The 'severe harassment' consists of a 13 page thread that no one had posted to in months pointing out numerous instances of Byuu/Near behaving badly. Parts of the emulator created to keep Stephen Hawking's voice synthesizer working in the final years of the famous physicist's life were even borrowed from higan's open source code. If you've played any of the indie games influenced by EarthBound, aka Mother 2, then odds are good that game's designer had a copy of EarthBound open in higan for reference.

Near's bsnes was the first Super Nintendo emulator with 100% compatibility, and higan is a multi-system emulator supporting 26 different devices including the NES, SNES, Game Boy and Game Boy Advance, Sega Master System and Genesis/Mega Drive, and PC Engine. The linked document also focuses on the Kiwi Farms forum and the doxing and harassing of Near and their friends. Subsequently, Hector Martin, an IT consultant and Linux hacker, posted a message about Near from a mutual friend (CW: contains explicit details of Near's method of suicide) and said that they had confirmed Near's death with police in a follow-up tweet. Near posted a thread on Twitter explaining how they were affected by a campaign of harassment organized against them on the Kiwi Farms forum. Hmmmmmm shares a report from PC Gamer: Near, also known by their username Byuu, the creator of several groundbreaking videogame emulators and a recent celebrated translation of JRPG Bahamut Lagoon, has died by suicide.
