House fire destroyed my home
Arseen:
That looks discusting.
If those are carts some of those bottom row games might still have functioning boards, so they just need new shells.
But if those are disc cases...
And depending on cancer Stage 3-4 can still be recoverable.

That's insane. I can't imagine if my whole collection was destroyed like that. I probably wouldn't even have the mental energy to try and re-build it. I'd just get my top 3-4 favorite retro consoles and get some everdrives or something. Maybe a few of my favorite games on cart.

Jesus dude..... I am so so so sorry. I feel just terrible about everything. Life is a bitch but you will get through this. You will be ok. It may take time but you will.

I've went through about everything, and I was able to save around 300, as long as the heat didn't get the boards/disc data. I spot checked a few and they appeared ok. That bottom shelf was gba, the smoke damage was horrible inside and I likely won't chance it. Some of the carts were a bit warped. I was able to save almost everything for ds, 3ds, switch, wii, and wii u. A couple from everything else, but it's odd that the Nintendo stuff survived and almost nothing else. Wonder what they put in their stuff lol.
Yes, that picture was my facebook post.

Here's before and after pics for anyone that may want to see. It's very graphic and hard to look at
