BIG News and Channel Update!

[@cnorthwoodrun]

Cryo, I'm terribly sorry for your loss man. I would LOVE to see you take the content full time if possible and if it works for you monetarily. If it does, I would absolutely love to watch your stuff!

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for the kind words and letting me know that you'd like to see more! I'm definitely hoping to make it work and really want to execute on these ideas 😁

[@sirpoopsiepants8535]

@cnorthernwoodrun I completely agree

[@bokocchop]

precisely!

[@sturmp]

Cryo, while I would really love to see the channel go completely full time, the main important thing is you having a stable, consistent income, which is a huge risk on KZbin. Im personally fine with only a few uploads a month, as long as they are of the same quality of the ones you are putting out

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you for the input! I'll definitely be taking my personal and financial health very seriously, regardless of outcome. I'll be applying to jobs if it's not feasible within a few months 🙂

[@drevil1988]

Thats the way to go. At the End of the day KZbin is a gamble. And a Person with your abilities should make easily a stabile income. After that comes the fun and the Chanel...

[@GM_LEONG]

I am so sorry for your loss. You do you, the community can always wait! Thank you so much for all your awesome videos and content + would absolutely love to see more!

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you for watching it and being so supportive! 🙏

[@acarajeh]

Thank you, Kyle! Yes, please make it a full time channel. Your videos are so detailed, you have a captive audience. The more the Steam Deck sells, the more you will be known. Sorry for your loss, I hope the move back goes smoothly for you and your wife. Keep up the good work!

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you SO MUCH for the donation! It's because of donations like this that I can even consider going full-time ❤️

[@lolzforlunch]

Glad youre able to post videos for us again, but please take your time and dont rush for anyone's sake but your own. You're obviously dealing with a bunch of heavy stuff, and i care more about you and yours' mental health + health over a new video. Thank you for keeping us in the loop and in your thoughts, and regarding more videos; Id love to see the newer handhelds coming out be thrown in the loop with your videos! Ive recently gotten an AOKZOE A1 Pro and most videos ive had help in are straight up auto translated youtube videos in various languages. Just an idea for a possible open market if I dont end up doing it out of sheer frustration 😅

[@wiuutahira]

Thanks for everything, you are the first one I've ever donated here on youtube. As a fellow software engineer you are an inspiration. Keep up the good work and good luck with everything

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for everything, I'm just doing my best to help the community ❤️

[@Buraikun1]

Love your channel. You're an instant watch for me every time. So, if it's possible I think you should go for it!

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for letting me know, it means so much to hear you say that and I'm really looking forward to executing on my ideas! 🙂

[@GotSka81]

I'll second this comment. There are very few channels that I have set up for notifications, and yours is one. I'm sorry for your loss and I'm sorry that it didn't work out how you would have wanted. I would personally, selfishly, love to see you put out more content, but whatever happens next, I hope you take care of yourself and your loved ones. Your KZbin community will be happy and waiting for whatever you can put out!

[@florianzahl6856]

Thanks for everything so far. Good luck for both of you!

[@cryobyte33]

Sorry for the delay, my life has been crazy and I'm working to catch up now. Thank you so much for the support, both verbal and financial! ❤️

[@MadaoAU]

As someone that is searching for software dev jobs myself and lived mostly in EU (import taxes oof), i can feel the pain. I hope everything goes well mate, i moved to Australia and things are better here. I love your videos, turning this into full time thing would be awesome. Your breakdowns are the most interesting for me or even how cryoutilities came as an idea

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad that you found a job! As someone who's been in the same position, it's really hard to get your foot in that door. Hopefully that changes soon, though!

[@NikitaKharin]

I'm so so sorry for your loss, I know that our words will not change anything, but I hope we as community can make you feel at least 0,1% better. Take any amount of time you need. And about full time youtube, I would love to see! 100%! My only hope that it will cover your finances.

[@Townsy]

Best of luck to you and your family.

[@cryobyte33]

Sorry for the delay, my life has been crazy and I'm working to catch up now. Thank you so much for the support, both verbal and financial! ❤️

[@sebastianavena]

Steam deck content + Undervolting and energy usage on handheld/laptops it's what I would love to see from this channel. Good luck!!

[@ScorpionF1RE----USA]

Take it from an old guy... Get all your ducks in a row now, while you're young. Everything gets harder as you get older. Everything.

[@TheRealEstate]

Hey, CryoByte! I totally understand where you have been and where you are coming from. Just know you are supported and loved. Yes please do this full time! We need more content from you!!

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for watching, man! I appreciate the understanding and look forward to what's to come 🙏

[@joshuaroughan3350]

Sorry to hear about your grandfather, I recently moved home and I appreciate the difficulties if balancing dreams and realities

[@steviedsretro]

So I just ordered a deck, and subscribed!. And it's because of the community and folks like you that continue to support it with utilities that I bought one. Thanks for all you're doing, and I wish you the best with your move and trial with doing this FT. I'm also an I.T. pro with 24 yrs experience. Tell me what you're looking for should you decide to prioritize a new gig and I'll keep you in mind should I run across something. PEACE!

[@CeciltheGamelord]

Cryo…I would LOVE to see this full time if at all possible. Your channel is the only one I actually have notifications turned on. I subscribe to other channels, but yours are definitely a must-see for me! I hope everything turns out well! Thank you for all of your hard work!

[@doolittle_]

Sending love to you. So sorry for your loss. As far as the channel, I love your stuff and would watch everything you put out.

[@matthewlezama4576]

The detailed explanations and rationale you put into these are 2nd to none dude. Your effort shows, you're gonna crush whatever you do (which is hopefully this full time haha)

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for the kind words and the awesome donation, I definitely hope to make full-time happen! ❤️

[@bennymeyz3306]

Sorry, for you loss. Follow you're heart, I'm staying subscribed!

[@hoemoe2897]

Your work with CryoUtilities has been amazing and this channel is great! It would be awesome to see you expand this channel 💜

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for the kind words, I hope I can make it work!

[@pshearduk]

Sorry to hear of your loss, hope you are ok mate x

[@robbietiz1702]

boooo for the situation, but yayyyyy for your drive. Im not a rich man by any means but id be willing to throw abit of cash each month to help out buddy. Hopefully, your friends and people around you, will suport you as much as they can. Go for it man. You never know your luck in a raffle. Sending you all my best wishes and ill be roughting for you.

[@ИванЛазарев-д8ч]

I'm sorry for your loss... Thank you for all that You doing! I wish You luck and success! Be strong!

[@mr_kraabs6951]

Much love Cryo 😊 I love how you are very open and honest with everything you are saying, even down to the making of this video. I'm just getting into Steam Deck gaming and your videos are helping me so much, keep doing what you're doing mate! All the best to you, your partner and your family ❤

[@Orogenesis]

I'm a new Steam deck owner and randomly found your videos looking for performance tweaks. After watching a few I quickly became a subscriber. Thank you for your highly detailed videos and wonderful demeanor. I'm sorry for your loss and wish you and your wife all the best with the country move (I've done it, I know how draining it can be).

[@frankcastlefan]

I want you to do well and be well, I am sorry for your loss, and whatsmore, I'm interested highly in you making a career of this. I want you to do what is best for Kyle. Don't let my enthusiasm coax you in to taking too risky a chance, but I'm proud to have been on the $2 Patreon tier for months now, all because you were exceptionally kind to me in answering my questions on Reddit, and I will now not withdraw that. THANK YOU FOR POSTING! thank you for reading, and thank you for letting me help.

[@Past_Reflection]

I'm Sorry for your loss, appreciate all that you do, thank you.

[@Gibbygamin038]

I'm very sorry for your loss. Thank you for everything you do!

[@ZoltanFekete]

Day one user of your utilities. You have a huge respect in SteamDeck community and would love to have you full time on that. Best of luck with your move and wish you settle fast!

[@davidlucot733]

Kyle im very sorry for your loss, honestly im new to your channel, but im totally in for the long ride, would love to see all the content you come up with in the future, and the steam deck community definitely appreciates all that you do. I know i sure do. Thanks for taking the time to be thorough, informative, educational, and entertaining. God bless

[@chesterman86]

Sorry for your loss. I know what is to be away when your family is at need. I really like your channel, the best deck/handheld channel.

[@Jamesssssssssssssss]

I'm sorry for your loss, hope everything works out for you and your wife.

[@c44breakfast86]

I am Sorry for your loss! I'm very interested in any SD stuff you have in store. I'm here when you are ready again. Love your work! Greetings from Germany

[@pieceful_puzzling]

Subscribed to your Patreon! I think you can absolutely make this a full-time thing, especially with the steam deck cryo-utilities stuff. In the US you will have WAY more opportunity to do reviews, easier collars with other creators, and I can see your fire just being refueled by how much more engagement you have. Excited to see what you do! So sorry to hear about the loss of your primary father figure, and not being able to see him in the end. That SUCKS. There's a great grief-related piece called the "ball in the box" that I like to refer back to in these moments. It's a great analogy. Good luck with the move!

[@BlobBlobkins]

Sorry for your loss, been through that. Stay strong, that what close one's would wish to us.

[@foxcross]

Sorry for your los, and the difficulties you're having to deal with. I would love a full channel your swap file and everything in your video has helped my SD so much. I see others with issues I never have and I do believe this is from your work so TY for that. Totally for a full channel, you could even do some live stream plays I bet to boose some revenue for you. Good luck!!!

[@TheseAreMyFavorites]

I only just found your channel while researching for my incoming steam deck, but oh my goodness I am hooked! Your content really resonates with me and I've been bingeing all of your videos :) All this to say, count me in as a supporter! I'll be here to watch whatever comes next, whether you choose to go full time with it or not. Thanks for all your work so far, I look forward to seeing what comes next!

[@chrisriceH2O]

Firstly sorry for your loss and my condolences to you and your family. Secondly thank you for all you have done for deck community. Cryobyte utility’s has been a game changer in my opinion! I would love to see more of what you can do here and also what you can do with your video content if you have more time. My advice would be to go for it and see where it takes you. If it doesn’t work out then I’m sure a talented guy like you will have no issue in finding employment. Big respect and good luck whatever you decide. 🙌🏻

[@sanducsendelik1132]

I am very sorry for your loss. Take your time and keep up the great work.

[@zealousGG]

You should without a doubt put everything you can into the channel! I would LOVE to see more performance reviews similar to what you did with TW3 on upcoming titles such as BG3, Starfield, AC, etc. I feel like the deck community (especially reddit) can over value the steam decks performance at time and having someone like yourself test that, figure out the best settings and MANAGE expectations will save people tons of time and money because they wont buy a game that has less than desirable performance. I feel that would be a great direction for this channel because you are extremely thorough and that tickles mine (and many others) nerd senses. PLEASE keep it up, you are a gem!

[@JeffPomaybo]

Thanks for your work for the community!

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for the kind donation, it means more than you know ❤️

[@Fabiuja]

I’m sorry for your loss. Hope you have great time with your choice. You deserve it!

[@beautyandthenerd2133]

I would love to see what you come up with

[@holytoledo333]

Keep up the good work!!! I enjoy your hard work on informing, teaching and making tweaking that much easier for us to get the most out of our Decks!~

[@AndreasBrekken]

Sorry for your loss! I really enjoy watching your videos. You clearly have a passion for this, so it would be awsome to watch even more of your content and see your channel grow! I get your frustation about the cost and shipping time for certain products. I live in Norway, and the extra cost for getting products like the xreal air is insane!

[@michaelreiss8795]

I am very sorry for your loss. I would love for you to do this full time.

[@orlandodelafuentefragoso]

Your channel is already a reference for the steam deck community, be sure you will have our support.

[@PinkMicrowave]

And we all would ADORE to see this full time ❤️❤️ just be careful, it could take alot of time and stress ❤️❤️ do please be careful!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love u!!

[@Siul_987]

Sorry for you loss, I wish your wife a lot of success getting that next job (as a software developer myself is never easy to be unemployed and looking for a chance to prove yourself, I can only imagine how hard to get it from another country). Also take it easy with content, moving is always a huge headache and I can’t imagine how hard would be to move from another country but we will wait patiently until everything is more stable since your content is 100% high quality. I wish you both the best and I hope everything goes very smooth and without headaches!

[@FabioCattaneo]

So sorry for your loss. It would be great to see you working full time on the channel since you’ve already done a lot with less time. Honestly it would be even better to know you’ve been hired by Valve, given your background. Best of luck, whichever options you choose

[@TechnologistAtWork]

I would love to see you doing KZbin full-time, but that takes a lot of time to grow enough for the channel to be your main source of income. Personally, I'd still get a job while growing my channel until it reaches a certain point that you have to do it full time. You are the guy who made the best tool to improve gaming on the Deck and I'm very disappointed that Valve has not offered you a job. I wish you all the luck on your journey and I hope that you get where you want to be in a much shorter period 🤞

[@korn2040]

i love your content and am so sorry for your loss. i hope you know we are all behind you

[@claryteemusic]

I say go balls out.. Keep at it and expand the channel. As long as you're both able to keep your heads above water, then you can ride it out until it gains more momentum. And that's from a channel who hasn't a fraction of the following you have. Your channels content and contributions, and channels like it are a rarity.

[@nunofernandes2294]

I am sorry for your los men. Like the old saying: “Hard times create strong men". Love your channel...stay strong cryo

[@cmdrfokker]

I ordered a Steam Deck after much hemming and hawing a couple days ago, and was directed to your channel after learning about CryoUtilities while doing more research about my incoming SD. I want to say that people like you are an incredible boon to any community, and I'm already grateful for the amount of effort and passion you've put into helping SD owners get the most out of their little box. I am sorry to learn about the troubles you've endured in recent weeks. I wish you the best of luck in rebuilding and resetting things for both yourself and your family at this time. I also wish you the best of luck with where you take this channel. If you take it full time, I believe you will continue to find that many SD owners are thankful to have someone like you putting together all of this information and support for the platform.

[@MrCHUP0N]

You're doing great work. I'd definitely be interested in seeing where this goes with you treating this as a full time gig. And condolences to you and your family--so sorry for your loss.

[@cryobyte33]

Sorry for the delay, my life has been crazy and I'm working to catch up now. Thank you so much for the support, both verbal and financial! ❤️

[@andrewbmaughan]

You are the GOAT when it comes to steam deck vids - you can totally make it a full time gig.

[@edwardfountain3525]

I believe you should do this full Time. You’re extremely professional and knowledgeable.

[@borjalpze]

sorry to hear, so sad story. really hope you can make the channel and Cryo Utilities your full time job, looking forward to it!

[@JOHNLENFLUREGTA6]

Sorry for your loss, thank you for everything

[@chrono3690]

First of all - terribly sorry for your loss. Secondly - there are a lot of channels that do retro/pc/handheld/what have you but I do believe your insightfulness and generally speaking hard software dev background could give the space and us unique perspective. Myself I'd absolutely love for you to do this full-time and am incredibly curious what you would cook up with your ideas.

[@gagz9k]

Thanks for the update. Joining the Patreon, right now.

[@acollus]

I'm sorry for your loss, my friend. I would like to join the prevailing opinion and tell you to keep up creating awesome content related Steam Deck! We all appreciate what you do very much.

[@AlexMartin72201]

Yes full time! Lots of interest here! Your contribution to the Steam Deck community has already been incredible.

[@TheGamebino]

My condolences Cryo. We’re all very thankful for your contributions to the steam deck community. There might not be a lot more you can do to improve it but I do believe Cryo Utilities is your most popular and widespread project. More videos on that will get you more traction to your channel and your work. KZbin is saturated with review channels and such, so it may be difficult to get that to a decent level. Goodluck and will be watching your future content!

[@Aethelbeorn]

I've been following you since the Witcher 3 Next Gen video late last year. I support you. You've been very helpful to get the most out of the Steam Deck. Thank you.

[@SteamDeckDesigns]

I'd love to have this channel be your full time gig!! Your work and recommendations have really given many people so much insight to what's out there and how to use the steam deck. I paid a lot for my steam deck because I was impatient and I found it to be completely worth it.. then I found your recommendations and it made me feel I made 12x more in experience and fun than what I spent. So thank you!

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for the kind words and for letting me know how much of an impact I've had! I haven't had the time to stay up-to-date with the community, so I definitely underestimate my value 😅

[@ckbeat1]

Sorry to hear about your loss. I would absolutely love to see you take the channel to the next level and will continue to watch!

[@PietroPizzi]

If you can make it, it would be great to see more of your content. It would be nice it a non-BS KZbinr can make a living out of it :)! Sorry for your loss!

[@gamingscoobs1133]

please take your time mental health first thank u for ur work have a great rest of your lives

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm definitely taking everything one day at a time and it'll be a while before I'm normalized completely ❤️

[@stilts3117]

I don’t comment on KZbin videos, like EVER. But just 30 minutes ago I installed Cryoutilities 2.0 and I am astounded by how simple it was for me (never owned a gaming PC) to follow your video and reap the benefits. You have gained a loyal follower in me!

[@Phille023]

Sorry for your loss, it sucks. Hope you can keep doing this channel. I've learned alot from your videos. I hope you will also spread into other handhelds because I also got a GPD Win 4 and I feel like it don't get the most out of it when I use it like the SD.

[@zyxel2]

As long as you are happy we are happy. Good luck

[@thetrueandrightfulkingofan5797]

Sorry for your loss. I only recently started following after learning about CryoUtilities and installing Diablo IV. Your work is an incredible benefit to the Steam Deck community. I know I'll keep watching. Best of luck to you in your journey this year.

[@darkempire4182]

Wish you Goodluck!! and do whatevr you wish to do and what make you happy

[@jasonfultz7637]

Keep going! I'm shocked you don't try applying to work for Valve. I'm sure they'd be impressed by your knowledge. Go forward with the channel and much love. Thank you for everything you do for the Deck Community.

[@B_Machine]

Subbed. You add great value to the steam deck community. You're the go to technical guy. I selfishly hope you're able to work on the channel full time. Good luck!

[@JMSessink]

Purchased my first deck last month and I've watched several of your videos already. For new people like me that may not yet have one - I am going to eventually get a skin/wrap for it and would be cool if there was one CryoByte33 themed to commemorate the efforts *you* put into making the deck that much more enjoyable to use. Just wanted to throw that out there! I'll use that money for the time being on Patreon and keep the deck bare :) Hope your move goes well next month.

[@iionas]

Youre an absolute legend mate, lets go full time!!!!!!! Sorry to hear for your loss man its a tough pill to swallow. Things get better in time. Full time, full time,full time,full time,full time,full time,full time,full time,full time,full time,full time,full time,full time,full time,full time,full time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This communinity needs people like you (ie handheld) who do things to help the timmies wanting more performance / other good benefits. I know Ive loved it on my deck.

[@cryobyte33]

Hey man, thank you so much for the donation and the kind words! I have a lot of plans, Steam Deck and otherwise, so hopefully I can make it work 😁

[@caevans432]

I love your steam deck content and I watch every one of them, even the ones about games that I won’t play. Excellent content

[@charlestwoo]

I'm sorry for your loss. (Can't wait for more content for this channel)

[@SpartanCE117]

I'm so sorry to hear for your Loss. Gett Well Kyle. I Wish you the best for your Move. Be Safe! And i wish to see a Fulltime Channel off of you, BUT if not possible to stay above the Water with a Channel than please cut back again.

[@devincurrie4145]

Hey Kyle, thanks for everything that you're doing for the community. I think you'll be in a great place for a position at Valve if they offer you a job opportunity. I think you're making a great contribution to the Steam ecosystem. I'll check out some options you've suggested to help support you. Thanks again for all of your work.

[@lanedj801]

Tough stuff to deal with. It’ll all work out my friend! Things don’t line up for a reason sometimes and you will find out why when you fall in alignment somewhere else.

[@markfredo8867]

I just got a Deck, saw your amazing in depth and 2.0 video, and you've just earned a sub! PLEASE keep doing what you're doing! I'm in the for the long haul. :)

[@kennedymensah6270]

Your channel has so much potential to be a fantastic resource for handheld PCs as a resource for information I truly beleive in you

[@tommyr8787]

sorry about your loss and we'll always ride for you my boi!

[@SoiKi3n]

I wish you success in whatever route you dedicate to my man! :)

[@XxfieryfirexX]

So sorry for you loss buddy. God bless you. Seeing your talent I have no doubt you would easily find a job. But looking at the quality of your videos, your research and narrative style. You have a bright future on KZbin. Especially on how you exploded with just a few videos. We definitely would love to see more videos from you especially on steam deck buddy. And you have our full support. We will share your videos for the Algo too

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I definitely hope to keep doing the videos regardless of outcome, but the rate will obviously differ 🙂 Thanks for supporting the channel and being so kind!

[@theacousticles618]

Thanks for being so honest with your current situation. I am always looking for your videos as you have helped me out so much when it comes to my steam deck. I hope you are able to make the channel work full time financially as I think you deserve it. Good luck!!

[@duckboss8303]

I would love to see you be able to do this full time, but just make sure to keep your financial and mental stress to a manageable level. You have my full support either way man! I love your content and keep your head up! I know it aint easy to move cross country, I had to help my wife move to the States from mexico. I couldnt imagine having to do it a second time 😬

[@BenBoulos]

Your channel is one of the few I have notifications on for, go for it.

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for letting me know, I had no idea anyone did that ❤️

[@rowton001]

You are my favorite Steam Deck youtuber. Your videos are a must watch for me! Please keep doing this channel

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you for the kind words, letting me know, and for watching!

[@FrodoUK]

Sorry for your loss my friend. Hope you are keeping well

[@kingfreemind7314]

This is one of my favorite channels. I'd love if you were able to do it fulltime. You've helpled me with Cryoutilities and are always very helpul. Sorry for your loss and good luck with what ever you choose. Thank you.

[@jordanblake9583]

I love your channel. Your perspective and willingness to go into technical detail in your videos is fantastic. You have helped me to understand concepts that have eluded me for far too long. I sincerely hope you will be able to grow this channel to its full potential. It's exciting to know that you are bursting with ideas for content and I can’t wait to see what you make. Wishing you all the best. I have confidence things will work out even better than one could imagine. Be seeing you :)

[@FatherRabbitt]

Mate, I appreciate your vulnerability on the channel. Losing a father figure is a terrible loss and I’m so sorry. This channel is already an incredibly high value, informative and fun channel and I’m sure with more time, you would make it absolutely insane. You’re like, the lifeblood of the Steam Deck community, lol. You are so, SO incredibly good at this! You’re an excellent educator and communicator and you have a great commentator/narrator voice and you’re very transparent with us about sponsorships and all that stuff too. All that said, a full time Cryo would be awesome to see.

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for the kind words and compliments. I'm still fumbling through the KZbin game a bit, but I really love sharing what I know and even learning alongside everyone, so I hope to keep doing that with all the extra time! The community deserves to have more transparent and open educational content, so here's to hoping 🤞

[@acdnan]

My condolences. I hope you and your family can get through this terrible time.

[@rayzor753]

Keep up the good work man. You’re utilities and the Deck Dive series have been the best. Your deck dives have helped me with multiple games and getting the best graphics / battery balance.
