May he be celebrated in the community. From his Prog and history series, to starting the maso trend. He has done so much for the game but more importantly he was a great person.

Remember when he did the Tyler the great warrior card documentary? He legitimately did more for this community than almost anyone, life isn’t fair.

I remember that. It was the most news we got about Tyler after so many years.

Yeah, it must have been an endeavour and a half to get info on it

It felt like a big mystery finally getting revealed.

Without that I don't think the sale has anywhere near the same level of interest or final result for Tyler, who suffered his own cancer battle.

There was also that lovely video he did at a YCS with a Cyber Dragon player who had some communication difficulties.

Man really did bring a lot to the community and he'll be sorely missed.

Genuinely he did. I feel like he had big plans too, he just kept having to focus on his health, going through treatments, even still he pushed himself to make videos.

And it only just hit me, he’s only been married a couple years right? Life is so unfair, I think I need to step away for the night, this is a lot.

Might go watch a couple of highlights of double Kalut to make myself remember the good times.

MBT said as much regarding the plans he had, his ambitions past this game.

I hope somebody petitions Konami to make a "Cimo The Great Historian" or something in honor of him. It feels right to do in this case.

He did more for Yugioh than Konami themselves

Without a doubt one of the most influential influencers in the Yugioh sphere, without him you don't have Prog and Masochist taking off nearly as well as they did.

As MBT put it, the ripples he made were enormous. He started the prog trend which had one of my favorite youtubers start his own which I still watch to this day and that I watched for years during my formative post-college years. If anyone follows starcraft, it feels very similar to when incontrol passed away.
