This N64 Zelda Game was LIQUID DAMAGED - Let's Try to Save it! A viewer sent me this Zelda Ocarina of Time Nintendo 64 game because they were hoping I could fix it and get it working again. The outside of the game looked pretty good but the inside was a different sorry. So much liquid damag! But you know I like a challenge.

my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer 12 years ago. They did chemo and gave her 6 months to live. 12 years later and she is still going strong. It wasnt so much the treatments as it was the attitude and mindset that kept her positive and exercising through the toughest times. Positive energy, and love from Cape Town SA.

I was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma 2 years ago. My right kidney was almost the size of a yellow squash and I had to have emergency surgery. Fortunately, it didn't spread that much, but it did spread to a couple spots in my lungs and ribs. The medication I'm on is called cabozantinib, it's not exactly chemo but it does have some side effects (although not as much). It prevents new small blood vessels from growing, which does have side effects of severely reduced energy, slower wound healing, etc, but it disproportionally affects cancer cells. The only symptoms I had leading up to it were fever, cough, and acid reflux...my doctor thought it was covid until every test came back negative, and they did a CT to find out what it was. I really should've died, somehow didn't...only because I was in very good health right before. I only recovered to maybe 60% of where I was, and I look and feel 20 years older overnight. They did a bunch of tests and it's genetic, I've been a ticking time bomb all my life. I have a mutation that causes both leiomyoma (benign arm bumps - which my mother and grandfather also had), and kidney cancer. It's pretty much 100% and usually happens in your 20's or 30's. I lasted until 49...51 now. This will eventually be terminal, but there's no way to tell how much time I have left. I went from looking and feeling 30, to looking and feeling my age overnight.

I couldn’t help but remember a line from the very first video I saw on this channel. Referring to a board repair: "This is not pretty, but it doesn’t need to be, just like my haircut." Steve, your haircut was never pretty, balding isn’t necessarily better, but it represents something much more important for all of us: your fight against this cancer. We are all here waiting to celebrate together your imminent victory!

Steve...I had a melanoma removed 14 years ago. Scariest time of my life. I can understand what you're going through and I think you're doing the right thing. Being open and honest and just trying to carry on with your life without pretending there's nothing wrong. It's hard to accept but accepting the bad stuff makes it easier to push through. I got incredibly lucky in that it was all removed through a minor surgery and no further treatment was needed. Dr and oncologist both said it was caught as early as it possibly could have been... found by accident actually. Keep up doing what you're doing and don't be afraid to let people help you when you need it. Also please don't worry about disappointing any of us if you're not feeling up to putting it new content. I'm sure I speak for all your viewers when I say that we'd rather see you happy and healthy than just fixing stuff.
