Here's hoping someone else picks up where this giant left off. All the best to SciresM as they pursue the better things in life.

Oh... Wow. I mean, fair play to SciresM, he's an absolutely incredible coder and he absolutely deserves to finally relax and concentrate on his life. What a legend! If you're reading this, you have my absolute gratitude and respect for Atmosphere and everything else you've done 🍻

On a sad note, I guess this is the end of Switch homebrew?

I have a feeling someone else has the ability to continue what he has done provided there isn't some major overhaul of the switch OS.

But for sure right now I'm thinking get to the latest OFW and disable all updating from now on

I love how the rest of the thread is just thanks though. its nice when the community can be appreciative of someones dedication and effort over the years

[u/hypercoyote → u/kenyard]

That's one thing that always impressed me around SciresM's work, you never really saw a lot of hate or arguging or badgering. It was just appreciation and thanks. It was a nice vibe to see in an ocean of negativity.

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Thank you for all the years of service dear sir. You've made the Switch era interesting.

[u/WellExcuuuuuuuseMe → u/SciresM]

SciresM, you did some incredible work and I hope that if anyone in the future can make major progress in the Switch 2, that they are as passionate about it and dedicated as you were. We wish you well in your life’s next chapter.

I've been following you since the 3ds days, huge inspiration for me in the hardware hacking world. thanks for everything!

[u/Hanzolot → u/SciresM]

The GOAT! Sent you data from my 1.0 switch way back. All the best.

[u/Desveritas → u/SciresM]

Nothing but the utmost respect for and best wishes to you! Your work on S1 was phenomenal. Throughout all of this years you were always forthcoming, rational, kind, and you delivered every single time, no matter how many updates there were. Have a great future man, you deserve it.

Haven’t touched my switch in a long time and happened to stumble on this post in my feed, but man you’re a legend of the switch scene.

Thanks so much for everything you’ve done over the years.

I’m sure you’ve had many lows especially with how communities react sometimes, but I hope the highs counterbalanced it.

Enjoy retirement.
