Sorry.
I am completely burnt out.

Haven't touched melonDS in forever. Even with gamepad stuff, I'm slow.

My mental health is terrible.

Don't expect much news from me for a long while. As far as the proper 1.0 release is concerned... I don't know.

Sorry.

Apology accepted, sometimes life just hits. I think the transparency about it is the most important part. Hang in there! I trust that melonDS 1.0 will come someday, so just do what you can, and take all the time that you need.

Please don't do anything final.

For everything else, there's time to fix, get help and try to make a positive change. These words sound stupid but try to remember them.

We'll wait for you.

Sincerely, I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Burnout sucks but remember you’ve built something amazing with MelonDS! It’d be a shame to let it sit when so many people appreciate and rely on it. Maybe pace yourself, tackle small things and rediscover the fun in it. You don’t have to rush but don’t give up either! This emu deserves its 1.0 moment and so do you. 💙

Heya, First time posting here, I know you went through with surgery a month or few ago, take it easy captain and relax as needed, as much as I wanna see more features like Netplay come to this, I don't want to see the thing you've been working on destroy your interest in it, you deserve a break for all you've done Ariso.
That and if you drop the torch, I dunno if anyone would be able to carry it.

Also I dunno what's wrong with those two up there, that sounds awfully rude.

I only recently discovered your melonDS, and it has quickly become my favorite emulator. It is excellent! Burnout sucks eggs, especially when working hard on something you are passionate about. Rest easy, shift your focus to something else that brings you joy, and know that you'll have folks happy to see you return whenever you decide you are ready. Rooting for you!

Take it easy! No rush, plenty of time for you to take care of yourself. Focus on yourself and you'll pull through sooner or later. Love your work!

Good work on trying to be an humain being @RickAsley, unfortunately you're stuck at the asshole part of the whole thing.

To Arisotura, I wish you good rest and a good recovery, no matter how much time it takes.

Hey, cheer up.
Take your time. You've come a long way. Concentrate on the good things first. In other words, what you enjoy right now. Recharge your batteries and then maybe you'll move on at some point.
Get well soon
