  • What about the loss of habitat, anyone who knows even a little bit about birds, at least in the western hemisphere, know that thousands of species only mate in certain areas in certain times of years. The loss of habitats for mating, the loss of food sources in the remaining habitats from pesticides, and the fact that many pesticides and other pollutants LITERALLY DEGRADE BIRD SHELLS AND KILL THEM BEFORE THEY HATCH

    House cats shouldn’t be putting a fucking dent in bird populations and it’s both absurd to think they’re the real threat and disingenuous to the causes of ill that plague our ecology

    I’m not shitting on you, OP, but in definitely shitting on the person who made this infographic and I’m shitting on the people who continue to push the myth that cats are the leading cause of loss in bird populations. They may kill many birds, but they’re not the reason we’re losing them. Not at all by far.



  • There was only one dev for the original project, but he went by two names. (If someone else had taken up the work I don’t know, I got a steam deck and do all my emulation on that)

    Stenzek was his original username, he changed it to Tahlreth to get away from his reputation. He had previously abandoned another project due to harassment that turned out to be over blown. He claimed people were stealing his code and could never prove it and claimed harassment and abandoned his project. Was also a dick to people and was banned from forums for his tone.

    Pretty much as soon as I joined this discord he was a dick and claiming harassment, and at the time I didn’t even know it was the same person. I found out later, not too long before he quit this one.

    And after he quit Aether he sabotaged the last build he uploaded by making it run worse and putting ads in it.

    “If everywhere you go smells like shit, check your shoe”, honestly. Rude, crying all the time, claiming harassment, claiming theft of code, making up and then deleting death threats, etc. Several years of history of just horrible behavior



  • The dev was a toxic person who had mental health issues. Not the first time they freaked out and claimed they were being targeted for harassment and throwing a hissy fit and leaving while being a toxic turd to so many people along the way

    Told people to kill themselves for asking questions and actually got caught making up “evidence of targeted harassment” it was a pretty big issue in the community at the time. He made up death threats. For attention.

    At first people were sympathetic until we learned this isn’t the first time this dev has done this

    You can also find links to screen caps of how he was an asshole all of the time in his discord, banning people left and right for asinine reasons


  • I was never a participant in the discord only a passive observer who was their for the downloads section. If you were there you’d understand exactly what I was talking about.

    They would say very hateful things to some users just for asking questions and on multiple occasions told people to kill themselves just for, get this, asking questions.

    Amd it turned out that much of the harassment was faked by the dev, yes actually faked by a person for attention. It was a big controversy in the community at the time
