Retiring.txt

Hey, all --

I wanted to let you know that I'm planning on retiring from work in the public hacking scene.

Atmosphere (and my work on the Switch) have been an enormous labor of love for me for the past eight and a half years, and it's been an honor for me to dedicate so much of my life towards this kind of work.

That said, I am getting older. I find myself with less time to dedicate towards it, more responsibilities, and a changing personal life.

Particularly with my hoping to have kids in a foreseeable time horizon, I'm thinking I have to re-evaluate how much time I can spend on hobby projects.

I have the kind of personality that doesn't want to put in only a little work; I think that less-than-a-full retirement would likely lead to no actual changes in the time I put in.

I've truly appreciated getting to work with so many talented people (many of whom have been close friends for so many years), and I appreciate everyone's understanding as I try to transition to the next phase of my life.

With all my love,
SciresM

Thanks for all your work! Best of luck growing your fam :)

Good luck!

Hey, all love, thank you. Don't want to say that anyone owes you, but there are many grateful people. If you ever need help, there's a fat chance you won't end up alone. o7

Thank you sooo much for your awesome work with Nintendo Switch scene, without you I've couldn't enjoy the console as much as I did it, not only playing but following your steps with all the code and project organization.

¡Muchas gracias por todo! 🩵

Thank you for all your work, that everything good happens in your life, be well.

Thx for all your hard work the almost last decade.
Wish you all the best for your future, hope your family plans will come true.
The community will miss you mate.

Sad for switch scene, glad for you. Tyvm for your hard work and inmense contributions to the scene, Pokémon and probably many things I don't know about . I hope one day I can contribute the scene even if just a 1% of what you did for all of us. Happy parenting hehe. GodSpeed. You are a referent for many of us. Good luck on next life stages :)

I've always been impressed by your sheer dedication over the years, the constant cat and mouse game with nintendo is one that I very quickly realized wasn't for me, and you went above and beyond to track every little change and build what is most of the difficult part of a compatible operating system. It's crazy what you managed to do, really. Wish you well on your future endeavors :)

youve been the man, good luck for the future!

Thank you for your huge contribution, for me you are an inspiration for fully committing to hobbies for several years.
I hope you will continue living the life you choose in the terms that are best for you!
And last thing, things in life might seem like they always change, but the future will always stay the next steppingstone of the present.

Thank you for everything you've contributed and created.
