Byuu / byuu_nyan / setsunakun0 - "Non-binary" furry programmer who wrote a Super Nintendo emulator

[???]

If byuu released the dump hashes then it's a simple if extremely tedious task to find which existing torrents have each dump that matches his. It could be partially automated, then the results - a list of games and torrents where they are located - could be published. Most important of all it provides him with deniability, especially if some anon makes a 4chan post on the process, archives it, and then goes further in another post.

Byuu announced his retirement. One of the reasons is the wake-up call he had in 2018 when he got called out online. He posted the OP of this thread on reddit as a reference

Self-reflection from a lolcow? A rare and beautiful sight!

Self-reflection from a lolcow?

Seems more like part of his usual melodramatic erratic behaviour (and self-flagellation fetish) and exactly in-line with being a lolcow tbh.

More than likely his health is declining due to shit diet and lack of exercise. Most nerds have a bizarre aversion to fitness, they associate it with the "jocks" (normal people) who "bullied" (ignored) them.

All he needs to do is buy a set of adjustable dumbbells, and adjustable bench, a sit-up bench, and an exercise bike. Combine that with a decent fitness plan and in 6 months he'll feel like a teenager again, minus the ability to drink hard and skip sleep.

He "quit social media" again.

Nah, he just said he's taking a break for a while on Twitter and his website. He'll be back as soon as he gets lonely again like he always does.

The Near account got deleted though. So much for that.

Zir valuable KiwiFarms Verified Blu CheckMark™ account is still up! Come back to us Near! We don't just hate you, we hate everyone!

Once a cow, always a cow, Near.

The only way out is to do the world a favor and join the 41%. I recommend the Terry Davis approach.

Just think of all the asspats your troon followers will give you in your eulogy!

Byuu (and a bunch of emulator authors) really should have taken their own advice and stayed out of online drama. Openly declaring you're leaving the internet forever is the wrong way of going about it, and really nobody is going to believe that.

While I agree in general, he didn't say he was leaving forever.

Farewell

byuu.org

"I'll be taking a leave from the internet for the foreseeable future. I am not sure for how long. I'll still check in from time to time, though."

He did the same thing in 2015 and again in 2018, because he suffers from depression. He usually stays gone for a couple months each time. He'll be back.

Look I'm feeling a little generous after reading the furry drama general horror today, so since I know you're reading this, Byuu no one actually wants you to leave for good or die. Unlike most cows here, you did good work and God knows only your autismal talents could save the N64. Go get some anti-depressants and learn to stop hating yourself. It's so obvious you're overly sensitive, but everyone gets the piss taken out of them online, it's just words man. You were starting to do a little better, and you're finally self-aware. When you do come back, stay the fuck off 4chan and Kiwifarms. It's doing nothing for your mental health to read these places. And get out of the furry fandom, you don't belong in a scene full of sexual degenerates and animal abusers just to stick it to us.

Speaking of emulator authors, any word on the community watch general? I've been saving screencaps and logs from Squarepusher for a while now. He'd be a great target until Byuu inevitably returns. Mudlord and StapleButter could be really good ones too. Emulator development is an autismo goldmine.

So much for quitting emulation. Or the name Near.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Is it the same Byuu? I thought he was giving up that name to the community? Maybe its a new Dread Pirate Roberts?

 

[Near Throwaway]

I thought this might get posted here.
I wrote that in February for Ars as a more mainstream version of https://byuu.org/articles/edge-of-emulation
It just took this long to get approved and posted. I'm still on hiatus for the time being.
You can track my activity here if you like: https://github.com/byuu

I'm sure I'll be back eventually though, I just need a break for a while.
If I can get over some real-life issues, I'll start committing patches to emulation projects again.
If I can get over some anxiety issues, I'll start tweeting again.

I like Near more as it's less self-deprecating (byuu means "mistake"), but either name's fine with me.
I did drop the alt Twitter account that restarted this thread since it didn't serve any purpose, though.

I got some screenshots and context of all of them except that butter guy.

You're in for a treat. He's a homeless, socialist, suicidal troon.

I remember when he was just knocking off the Acmlm forum and it ending in some autistic freakout.
Now he's trying to knock off an entire sex lol.

Basically any site running on Acmlm forked or Acmlm inspired software seems to be filled with mentally ills.
I recall recently on board2, squidempress was caught faking his suicide and they have an entire subforum for the usual tranny whining.

 

[Joe Biden's Left Testicle]

Another Byuu twitter. He's making an N64 emulator now that the HW Verilog code is out in the public.
https://twitter.com/ares_emu
The N64 is notoriously hard to emulate. I'm in before a spergout after he works himself up doing this

 

[whatever I feel like]

Lets hope we get a real emulator out of it before he inevitably hangs himself out of frustration.

More Kiwi spergouts. If you are so much better, why can't you let it go?
He says all this despite the fact that his Twitter comments are still full of pronoun furries, and no doubt he still does what he does best on a private account.

Wait, Byuu is a gay, socialist, suicidal, furry troon?
