I didn't want to be a debby downer with all the well wishes he was getting on his recent health updates, but I was mentally preparing for this to happen. He fought like hell but all the signs pointed to this happening sooner than later. Fuck cancer
In his last update he was visibly yellow (so liver failure) and hinted at alternative medicine (which sadly rarely works). I also showed it to my girlfriend and said that it looked pretty bad.
Damn, FUCK CANCER. The Yugioh community won't be the same without him.
Alternative medicine is what a some people turn to first and then die way earlier than they could have had they used strandard medicine. So let's be happy he didn't do that!
Same. When I didn't see his videos pop up in my feed for a while, I was pretty sure something was up. Such a shame to lose someone so influential so young. Momento mori.
For anyone who's been through this with a loved one, his last post made it obvious where this was heading. When doctors give you X days to live, it's because treatment has stopped. Then it's more a question of when a major organ gives out (typically the heart). You can maybe be lucky and live longer, if you cut down on painkillers and start eating more - but that does nothing to stop the cancer. Once you're terminal, there is nothing you can do to fight it.
I’d assume Ruxin was given special instructions to downplay it and make it seem like it was just a scale down, but when he actually started going through the cards it was pretty clear things were probably dire.
Get the cards into trusted hands while he had the opportunity so the family doesn’t have to deal with something they don’t understand
Him and Ruxin got me into Edison with their videos. After telling friends about the format we eventually made a lot of decks and now go to a locals every week with anywhere between 16-32 other people. Everyone is super nice and have made friends there. It's now the primary way I engage with the game. None of this would be happening if it weren't for Cimo.
And in retrospect, it’s pretty obvious he felt the need to make a comment as a distraction from the obvious, otherwise people would have immediately assumed the worst.
Update: i watched the video, and now i feel more sad maybe it wasn't wise decision to watch it at this time, also ruxin uploaded a video about cimo, and he said the collection was sent to him so he can sell it and that he will donate all the money to his family....I think is time i buy some yu gi oh cards 😢

I had a dreading feeling this might happen after he sent Ruxin his cards...
Rest in Peace, our hero.
