Since the second best time to create a YouTube channel is now, I have decided to make one however the only piece of equipment I have is an office laptop that has a 2 GB vram. It can run games from 2010-2021 on 60 fps ( not all AAA ) and can edit videos. My question is this: how do I make a video of me playing a single-player game exciting? Since the lets play format has died, what would make a first playthrough of a game interesting enough for a viewer to watch. Multiplayer games are easier since the game does most of the attention capturing but sadly I can't run any at a decent level for content creation.

 

 For context:

• I have a Lenovo laptop with i-1235u cpu, integrated mx550 gpu and 16 gb ram
• It will take a few months till I can save up for an xbox series x to stream which might attract more people. Can't get a PC since I travel around often.
• Some games I got in mind are Forgive me Father 2, Evil within series and Witcher 2+3

Life has hit hard and now I’m given two options. Either I can work a proper 9-5 office job which might require me to work overtime often and most of my time would be dedicated to the job and commute. Or I could work a few dead end retail jobs to pay the bills while working on comics and cartoons. I understand this may seem very optimistic since I haven’t drawn at all for around 10+ years but I believe in myself and my ideas and I’m willing to put the effort in. Has anyone been in the same boat? What would you recommend?
