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 emulator:

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!

    So THAT'S why this is "newsworthy".

    If it was some vanilla forever alone cis-man contributor to dolphin we wouldn't be reading about it (because that story wouldn't do anything to further the cause of promoting cis-guilt).

    SN has definitely jumped the shark. Time to find a less SJW sympathetic site.

    Riiiiiiight... If this article is all about some kind of "positive discrimination" towards transgendered folks, why isn't that even mentioned in the summary, genius?

    Take your persecution complex elsewhere.
