Glad you're doing alright. I usually don't reach out to KZbinrs on a hiatus because I feel that makes me come off as entitled to new videos whenever I want, but you truly are one of my favorite people on KZbin and I love seeing new videos from you on my feed. A little sad to see you leave North America, but I'm excited for the possibility of you sharing Brazil life with your global audience!

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

Yeah I'm half excited, half scared! I think portable and travel content will go together really well.

[@markvandesande8855]

Whatever makes you happy. Good luck with your move.😊 Change is a Great thing!

[@moiseszuniga6575]

I am happy to know about the situation you are getting through, great video and luck with your new life situation!

[@greenprotag]

I am sorry to hear about your struggles. I am sad to see you get rid of your handhelds, BUT sometimes it's healthy for us to downsize. I hope to see more content if you settle into a good working space. Please include your every-day-carry videos periodically. Those are excellent videos. I honestly miss the days when you would constantly review handhelds and portable emulation, but I hope the travel content and handheld content hybrid is a successful model for you.

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

I've been meaning to make a new EDC video. My stuff has changed quite a bit from my last EDC!

[@SomeOrangeCat]

I felt so freed after selling off my retro collection.

[@stephanlarge2878]

Hey Izzy, I wish you all the best in your new chapter! Im looking forward to your travel content.👍👍

[@devilishmode]

Travel & Handheld gaming sounds like an amazing concept Izzy, good luck with it all. We’ll be here 👍🏾

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

Here's hoping you guys like it!

Hey man, I hope you're OK and you moving back to Brazil will fulfill you 😊 I really like your work, I hope you'll find the fun of it again soon! Have a nice one

[@Jerryman15]

I hope you feel happier in Brazil, I wish you the best! And hope you can get inspiration from the Retro Sega and Zeboo consoles over there!

[@lazarous123]

Hope everything goes well for you moving forward with your life!

[@yoba1450]

Good luck with the relocation, hope you find new excitement and inspiration! I too reached a point in my life when I just had to go someplace else, to find a new drive, new motivation, explore and escape the stereotypes. It can be very difficult and stressful at first but the reward is great. So hope all works for you, and I take your word and looking fwd for some Brasil introduction (but I will also be happy if you keep doing some handhelds tech videos from time to time) ;) Cheers!

[@celinelava87]

I miss watching your videos, wishing you all the best 😘

[@tea.23]

So glad to know that you are doing well! been missing your videos a lot but it is understandable. I hope you do great in life from here onward.

@@TheIzzyNobreShow you’re very welcome friend! Looking forward to your content :)

[@macsucktwice]

How dare you tug on my heart strings bringing up the dingo a320. Love your channel and your passion. Hope the move goes well

[@Atalas5]

watching your video's actually got me to buy a PSP to mod. and then I started delving even further into gaming handhelds. Researching price versus power, and really resparked my love for emulation. Glad to hear your, maybe not where you want to be, but have a focus and an idea of where you wish to take yourself.

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

Yeah man! It's honestly the first time in the last 5 or 6 years that I have an actual direction.

Btw where is that A320 video, can't seem to find it :D

Hey found your channel from a comment, awesome stuff!

Working on my Miyoo Mini Plus review TODAY!

[@kadaverf]

As someone who does not fly, I will be looking forward to seeing stuff from you from Brazil! I wish you all the best, All the way from Holland :)

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

To the best of my knowledge, you're the first Hollander who commented on a video of mine! Thank you for stopping by!

[@kadaverf]

@@TheIzzyNobreShow awesome! I came to your channel some 5 years ago, because I had recently bought a new psp, I love that console ever since I had one as a 15 year old in 2005. The first, fat one is still my favorite because of the heft it has. If ever you come to Holland, you are always welcome to have a cup of tea, glass of wine or a steaming bowl of "snert" (dutch special pea soup, perfect for rainy days :) )

As a brazilian living in the Netherlands I'd like to send my greetings too. :)

[@ilhamnoeryosan9918]

Never thought that you really work in medical field since in that video about diagnosing game you talk about it a syour dream, but yea, as fellow medical worker, those year's sucks. But really, your videos are some of the most interesting in youtube, heck it even inspires me to build my own EDC. Good luck with evrything Izzy, wish your videos got even more interesting!

[@ana-101]

Looking forward to seeing your new videos

[@onailuj195]

Voltou para o brasa , bacana em

You seem to have a certain sense of calm (if thats the right word) compared to previous videos friend. Brazil is obviously where you need to be. Good luck with the move! :)

[@csbkota]

Midlife crisis? You had the same life forcthe last 20 years ( as you have phrased it). There is nothing wrong with wanting a change in scenery, or other circumstances. Good luck!

[@cryptonite91]

good luck and love your content. You truly are unique on youtube i hope you get that. If i think "video game handhelds" you are one of two maybe three people that immediately pops in my mind. You do have a passion for what you create, it's very easy to see that. Once again, good luck! :D

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

Thank you so much for your words of inspiration, man. I'll remember this when I'm feeling down and without energy to create. Trust me when I say it, it pains me that my emotional situation over the past few months kept me away from creating this content. Thank you.

[@julianofs6041]

Finally! I missed your english videos Izzy!

[@Anna_Rae]

While it is bigger and more expensive, the Steam Deck has become my favorite retro gaming machine. It can easily go up to Gamecube/Wii and handle very high end emulation features that you mostly only find capable on a good PC. The other big thing I like is the dock. I love handhelds, but I still love playing a lot of retro games on my nice TV. Being able to seamlessly play the same game portably and docked to a TV is so nice. Steam Deck also lets you use any controller you want. Currently I’m playing Legend of Dragoon, and when it’s connected to the TV I’ll be playing the game with the Dualsense Edge; it’s a lot of fun. And it’s pretty easy to setup. Emudeck handles pretty much everything for you. It sets up all the emulators, you just gotta put the roms in the right folder and that’s it. It’ll even compress your roms into the optimal file format that’s still playable but saves a lot of space.

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

How's the PS2 emulation on it? Is it capable of anything higher than a PS2?

[@Anna_Rae]

@@TheIzzyNobreShow I’ve not tried PS2 emulation myself, but I know people are enjoying PS2 games on it. Consoles above PS2 can vary quite a bit. Wii U seems decent, while PS3, 360, and Switch can be very tough (but that’s difficult even on a great PC).

Izzy Yes, and it even runs most Switch and Game Cube games.

[@andrewdo8192]

Gonna miss your content bro, but excited for the content pivot.

[@jasonaragon2766]

I barely pre-ordered the ASUS ROG Ally. I believe it will be all I want when it comes to Retro gaming up to everything on Steam. Let us know what you think.

[@frogdude1337]

i love my handhelds. i would hate to sell them. and especially as they are powerful enough to play the games I used to play in my living room, it is a brand new amazing experience to play them in my hands and on the go

[@Enriel_]

hope your content still continues on when you're in brazil, or at least have your brazil channel have english subs, would be nice

That's actually an interesting idea. Izzy, try to find someone who creates subtitles, maybe it's a reasonable price versus the potential access increase. Another option could be trying to offload that to the community, some people might be interested in help you out with this.

[@ungratefulmango]

Travel/Handheld content sounds awesome. Really suits me. Also, I use my Steam Deck almost daily, mostly for emulation or fan games. Hardly ever for my Steam library

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

The thing is, for emulation, I really prefer the mini devices. Something about being able to bust it out of my pocket at any moment for a quick play session...

[@ungratefulmango]

@@TheIzzyNobreShow I feel that. I usually carry around my RG280M for that exact reason. Just fits anywhere

A suggestion regarding Steam Deck: in your shoes I'd consider getting one, making a couple of videos (even if just stating why you prefer smaller portables) and then selling it in Brazil. Keep in mind that there cheaper model is 399 USD but is sold on Mercado Livre for 4000 BRL ;-)

[@grafvinestarry]

Greet to see you are ok

[@kidsharkloq]

I'd love to see you take portable gaming devices on a trip in Brazil. And some local food would be nice.

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

Oh boy, don't get me started on the food... I put on some 20ish lbs last time I was there. It's all so good, and so much more affordable than I'm used to in Canada...

[@bladechik]

Which state are you moving to . My wife is from Minas

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

I'll be in Ceará for the first 6 to 12 months, then São Paulo, as I have a lot of friends and business associates there.

[@gamingwithlacks]

Interesting choice. Hope the brazil content doesnt get bogged down by all the taxes and import bs you'll have to put up with.

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

Here's hoping, too!

[@evansmith4767]

I would love to see which ones you pair down to. Which one is the one to rule them all. And my vote isn’t the steam deck. Maybe the Analogue Pocket or similar form factor device.

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

The Analogue isn't a great option for me because space will come at a premium in my life right now. I need them smaller. The Miyoo Mini Plus is the frontrunner right now!

[@standley_steamers]

Miss you

[@Chatetris]

Lol, fun little tidbit, I was just browsing through Facebook market place and lo and behold, I saw that you had the gameboy micro up for sale (at a steal of a price). I thought "isn't that the KZbin guy?", we must live in the same city.

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

Are you Bobby, by any chance...? I was approached by him the other day in Kensington, I don't often get recognized in public here in Canada so it was a very memorable moment. It's stuff like that that makes me resent being away from you guys for so long...

[@Chatetris]

@@TheIzzyNobreShow Lol that was not me, but I am often in Kensington, so maybe one day!

[@IlIilLlIlILIliLIIiLIlI]

just sold my steam deck and got the aokzoe a1 pro

[@burnzy3210]

Portable gaming is essentially china's baby now. You should probably buy a steamdeck before you leave Canada, probably much cheaper than in Brazil and will give you something to do on the flight.

[@beardyhat9547]

Keep at it, pal. Perhaps this is the parasocial coming out in me, but you seem like a genuinely nice person and you're fun to listen to. I enjoy your voice and cadence; while I may not comment on social media about your absence, it is certainly noted when I'm not seeing new Izzy videos popping-up on my regular KZbin refreshes. There are few KZbinrs I regularly look forward to new videos from and you are one. Sorry about your struggles in life; things are pretty tough right now in general. I know during a depressive episode it seems like the darkness will never end and it's always been that way, but once you've done it enough--I certainly have--you can remember that things do get better and it isn't forever, even if it feels like it in the moment. So, get well, make content that's interesting to you and the audience will follow. Handhelds are great, I love them, but there's fewer interesting things that someone who is genuinely excited about something.

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

Thank you so much for your kind words, man. Makes me miss being closer to my community all the more. I have a ton on my plate today but I'm super excited to share my thoughts on the Miyoo Mini Plus with you guys. Working on that one today!

[@marciliootamegane8379]

[@hugohirose]

Well, the era of portable video games as we used to have is definitely over. I can´t imagine any company, other than maybe Nintendo, releasing a brand new handheld to develop and release new games exclusive for this new portable device, like the era of game boy, game gear or psp. From now on I think we will only have handhelds for emulation of old games or some sort of portable PC with the shape of a handheld so you can play the PC games you already have on the go. I just hope this tecnology of portable PC becames popular and cheap soon, like the smartphones nowadays.

[@jamesb.6177]

Damn, Izzy hasn’t aged a day since 2014

[@andrewjensen]

I see you’ve been creating new Brazilian content, but unfortunately I don’t speak Portuguese and would love new English content, or maybe just English versions of your Portuguese content. I hope you’re doing well. :)

[@ChrisPTenders]

I'm not gonna pester you about it, but I'd say the reason you don't play your Steam library is BECAUSE you don't have a Steam Deck yet. I watched this on my Steam Deck, it's kind of my ultimate piece of tech right now. I'd say for a travel heavy lifestyle a Miyoo, a Steam Deck, and a laptop will keep you covered for games. This is all entertainment, so whatever you do, whatever you buy, whatever you play, whatever you make, do it because you enjoy it and no other reason. Best of wishes with the lifestyle changes and new channel direction. Love your content.

ROG ally or Aya NEO don't get the steam deck it's a fatass gaming device. It's not super comfortable and it's heavy . This why the ROG ALLY is one of the best est for thr money not the performance or game g potential even . I do hope and need portable smartphone type gaming needs to end and pc console type gaming needs to happen NOW WE have crazy Nintendo switch power or even Hella faster.
