It sounds like the story of the AetherSX2 emulator, that happened earlier this year: the main developer got burnt out by all the harassment and threats from toxic individuals and abandoned the project out of frustration.
The internet can be really hard for sensible people, I hope wherever Tahlreth is right now is feeling better.
I don't entirely hope he's feeling better cause he definetly lived for the drams, and hyped it up however he could. He also shit talked a lot of other open source devs, especially of emulators
That doesn’t mean he deserves death threats. What the fuck is wrong with you.
Thank God I never said he did, nor believe it eh
The lack of self awareness is palpable
