Somebody here said that he was going trough similar stuff as Hykem, I think they got put under pressure or something. Although I do remember some drama happening with Pingo about a 3DS downgrader or something.
Very little similarity between their situations, aside from the delays. Hykem didn't deserve the hate, while he didn't release anything he still contributed a lot to the scene.
JustPingo needlessly overhyped his "safe" downgrader. At first he claimed he was going to exploit SNShax, when he realized it was too much for someone who can't actually code he decided to wait for memchunk2. In the meantime he decided to create his own .tpp format which were just .rar archives with headers, now that's fine and all but some of these weren't labeled properly (9.2 actually being 9.0 files and shit like that) and there were stories of guaranteed bricks using these files floating around.
There was no reason for this to take this long to develop and it shouldn't have received any hype either, the downgrader was out and stable already, JustPingo just wanted his hype train to go full throttle, which is why he called his downgrader "safe" at first instead of "noob proof".

tl;dr Hykem actually did important shit, JustPingo was JustHype.

Thanks both of you for the clarification. Yeah I remember the JustPingo drama now, I knew his "safe" downgrader was a bunch of BS anyways so I just used sysupdater and it worked 100% fine.

Right, right...that's because no one has problems, everyone is happy and we all live in paradise because that's what we want so it definetly goes that way. No point in further discussing the matter with you.

Thats your problem then.

how life works? you make it work how ever you wish.
So (for example) it's my fault I have depression?

Also what has this thread turned into? Do we really have nothing better to do with our lives than to flood a thread based on a tweet made by someone now marginally involved in a release with wild speculation and/or shitposts?
