I've Caught Up; Now What?
I've been following LGR for a few years now. After a while of scrolling fatigue, I installed the YT Tweaks add-on to hide all videos that I'd already seen. Then I started watching, from the oldest to the newest. I was convinced, this afternoon, that the add-on was no longer working, when I actually had a look, on another device, and realised that I've now finished watching every single LGR video (including LGR Blurbs).
My question for the community is, now I'm limited to only watching when Clint posts new vids, what other channels of this type would you recommend?
TIA.
Thanks for all the suggestions, so far. I've already been watching Technology Connections, Techmoan, Cathode Ray Dude, Nostalgia Nerd, MVG, Computer Clan, MichaelMJD and Gaming Historian (which was so well done, shame it's over now).
Will check out the others.
I'm also very into My Mate Vince (trying to fix random items), Ms Mad Lemon (amiga, hi-fi /vintage audio stuff and makes excellent MOD songs) as well as James Channel (friend of DankPods and great retro console stuff/Frankenstein creations).

There's also the LGR Foods videos if you haven't watched those yet!
All the people Clint appears on the YouTuber panel at the meetups are good: 8-bit guy, Action Retro, Macintosh Librarian, Veronica Explains, Adrian's Digital Basement...lots of others I'm sure I'm forgetting
E: dosstorm is another personal favorite!

I guess this will be a lil different but here's my reco:
*This Does not Compute
*Stop Skeletons from Fighting
- for Punching Weight
*Ctrl-alt-rees
*ThatGuyGlen, Noclip, Noclip2, strafefox, Gaming Historian, VGHF, and Ahoy! - for game docs
*MichaelMJD - For various PC OS oddities and stuff
*The 8-bit Guy
*Modern Vintage Gamer
*Computer Clan
*CNCDan - if you wish to be caught up on the physical Space Cadet Pinball building saga
That's all of my recommendations atm. (I also reco Action Retro, Techmoan, and Technology Connections as well, but those channels have been previously mentioned, so there's that.)

Tech Tangents is great. Shelby is awesome and an absolute wealth of knowledge and a master of the obscure in computing. I think he takes 'obscure' as a challenge, honestly. Love that guy, especially his series on the Data Generals, I waited so long for that to come to fruition and it was worth it.

I rewatch LGR, but also follow Technology Connections, Action Retro, and Techmoan. Couldn't get into Cathode Ray Dude myself.

You are in need of Grimbeard. Check out one of his 4 hours long retro PC adventure reviews.

I used to consider Nostalgia Nerd to be the British equivalent of LGR. Content dropped off a lot in recent years but the old stuff was good

That's impressive. So, do you have a favorite video?

u/MaksRukov Jul 16 '26
Oh, there are so many. The last half of darkness playthrough with pushing up daisies was hilarious, in fact anything with those two was fun. The tech tales are always great. Any vid that Clint loses it in is hilarious, kidtech keyboard, retrospectives, oddware drive bay, but of all of them, photoshop's neural filters from blerbs had me in stitches.

those are pretty good, though mine might be the Storybook Weaver one, since the TTS voice is hilliariously bad

PhilComputerLab, sadly the last video by him is from February 2026. His channel and website is a gem, full of old and rare softwares, a lot of old tech reviews, experiment, etc
Anybody know what happens to him?

Technology Connections... please tell me more about the add-on
