The Brilliant SNES Emulator Author Known As Near Has Died
kotaku.com
The author of bsnes and higan, Near consistently pushed emulation's state of the art

Near was an inspiration with their archival emulator work, and influenced my interest in this topic enormously (╥﹏╥)

    He could still get parodied cuz of something completely unrelated, so that doesn't really change anything.

    Also, no offense, but I noticed your account was created like 15 minutes ago, so that's a lil :amogus: .

      This information is all available elsewhere. I am consolidating it for anyone who wants to dig more. Anyone who thinks that creating an alt for this purpose is bad practice should not partake. Do not click the links on the KF home page (currently showing a 404 with an “explanation” of Near’s death)
