Rachel Bryk, an active developer for the Dolphin Emulator[*] project, passed away on the 23rd of April at the age of 23.
While this is hardly the kind of news that would shake the tech world and be featured on major news site, I think the SoylentNews community can fully appreciate her work and commemorate that tragic loss with the team and the retro gaming and TAS community at large.
Most of her work was focused on making the Dolphin more suited to make tool assisted speedruns.
A full announcement and commemorative post can be found on the official Dolphin project blog.
Dolphin is an emulator for two recent Nintendo video game consoles: the GameCube and the Wii. It allows PC gamers to enjoy games for these two consoles in full HD (1080p) with several enhancements: compatibility with all PC controllers, turbo speed, networked multiplayer, and even more!

The way you have responded and coped with your life experiences is perfectly rational
That is when you get mad not more depressed.
You are dealing with an industry that builds itself on psudo-intellectualism. You will deal with a *LOT* of people who dont really care and think they are good at it. It is not your fault it is theirs. Sometimes money makes people think what they are doing is a good job. When it is further from the truth. Move on and just try the next dude. I am sad to say in that field you will have to go thru a lot more than 6.
Do this. Find a group (or groups) try them out. But not for the support, they will spew the same goop. Ask for references (your real mission). You will find 'oh try this dude he is amazing'. After awhile you will see some patterns. For example I have been misdiagnosed for years with my eyes. Found the right doctor and my eyesight is actually the best it has been in 40 years with a lower prescription than I had before and judging by my eyesight recently I need to go down again. I have been thru no less than 10 different doctors over the years. My current dude rocks. I to got him thru no less than 5 different people recommending him.
Getting the right doctor is a chore but *very* worth it. The best part is they are a dime a dozen. So you have lots to sift thru. The downside is 'time wasted' but you learn to find the ones who are any good pretty quickly.
