LowSpecGamer

Alex, better known online as LowSpecGamer, is a Venezuelan YouTuber. He produces videos on gaming tech history, such as the microprocessor or the PlayStation, using an animated comic-book aesthetic. Before 2022, he was famous for his video guides on how to play various games on low end computers and videos of low end hardware and handhelds, thus helping thousands of people who can't afford modern high-end computers to play their favorite games. 
Currently, LowSpecGamer also runs a parallel channel in Spanish where he simultaneously uploads all new videos.

In his videos, LowSpecGamer explores the stories of different technologies supplementing them with 3D animations, 2d comic-book style animations, historical footage, and stock footage. 
From 2015 to 2021 LowSpecGamer´s primary focus were videos explaining how to tweak graphics settings of different video games to achieve the maximum possible performance on low-end hardware, especially computers with Integrated Graphics, as well as videos dedicated to low end hardware like the Athlon 3000G.
On Dec 27, 2021 LowSpecGamer published a video announcing he would quit his old format, citing the increasing difficulty in modifying modern games, lack of new budget hardware brought on by component shortages connected to the COVID-19 epidemic, and personal burn out on the topic. He then announced he would focus on narrative videos that had rekindled his passion for gaming and technology.
Around May 2022, every non-narrative video was unlisted from the channel, with LowSpecGamer calling it an “An experiment on the YouTube algorithm”. As of August 2022 the videos continue to be unlisted but accessible via a public playlist.
