I clicked that link expecting to be horrified and was still shocked by the first thing I glanced at. Thanks for linking, but I wouldn't advise anyone to click it. It's not worth it.

To be fair, I have a much better fursona now ^-^;; https://twitter.com/Kampidh/status/1234029776144175110 (it's G-rated, don't worry.)

Your Fursona is adorable, though, uhh.. what species are you?

I would like to point out that byuu's recent response to that thread was composed and dignified: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/byuu-byuu_nyan-setsunakun0.430... . As someone with who wasn't familiar with the drama I came away with the impression that byuu handled it rather well in the end (and also has grown as a person thanks to it). It does make me wonder if from the perspective of PR and reducing further trolling…

Hey it could be worse, imagine having a link to your own KF thread in a frontpage HN article. Now that's a bad look ^-^; Referring to GP, of course. I appreciate the link to my reply. For any folks here that read the post, please also read my reply if you don't mind. For folks who don't read the thread at all, just note that this is about me saying dumb things online, mostly when I was a young adult. I haven't actual…

Apologizing to internet trolls is a zero sum game.

If you enjoy working on it, and others enjoy using your work, keep doing it and just ignore the idiots on the internet, they'll eventually get bored and go find someone more interesting to harass.

Thank you! Been calling them a dracat. Half-dragon, half-cat hybrid. It's a play on having traits and tendencies of both ^-^

I was referring to the immediate n-word. Furries are fine, shaming people for what they enjoy is cringe. Fwiw I think your fursona is adorable.

Ah, yeah. Lovely bunch there.

> Fwiw I think your fursona is adorable.

Thank you very much ^-^

I was thinking dutch angel dragon or something, so I was confused.

Byuu, your code base is awesome and I've been studying it a lot lately. I'm not programming emulators, I'm studying your architectural design more than anything. Your passion and dedication really shows. Best of luck in your future.

I've also had bouts of RSI and it can really be frustrating, especially when what you do shapes so much of how one thinks of oneself, and that starts to whittle away.

Thank you kindly! The structural design aspects of programming was one of my favorite parts. I may've gone a bit too far in the final releases of higan with the reference-counted tree to describe system states (specifically serializing the tree is quite involved), but I'm still really happy with the result ^-^;

Hopefully a respite from coding in my spare time will help my hands recover a bit.

As someone that was just curious about what sort of drama was going on I think you responded well and if it's made you a better person there isn't anything to feel bad about. I have seen stuff from you pop up on here from time to time that I found impressive and cool. I hope you still find motivation to do cool and impressive things and share them with the world even if you are closing this chapter of your journey.

I'll take my leave from HN as well now.

It's truly been an honor! I've always greatly appreciated the links to my articles shared here, and the discussions with everyone on these and other submissions on the site.

I'm hoping to return one day when things settle down a bit in my life. Hopefully when that day comes I'll have some great new things to share. Until then, take care everyone!
