Yes, it's time for THAT video.
You know the one.
The one about e-begggggingggggggg.

Mmmmm, old computers, they're bloody great.
Look at that one, and that one, these things
need to be shared with people!
In that respect, Youtube is bloody great.
I watch a lot of Youtube videos by lots of
creators.
Some of those creators I support through a
platform called Patreon.
Patreon allows you to tip creators you enjoy,
and in return, receive perks, and I think
it's fantastic.
It allows smaller creators and creators of
more niche, but interesting content, to compete
with these huge companies with massive budgets
and big sponsorship deals.
If you can support a channel you enjoy then
I strongly implore you to.
Especially the smaller channels, because they're
the channels which can really benefit from
it and they're the ones who REALLY need it
to survive.

Like many others, I have my own Patreon page,
and it's been like a god send.
Without support from my Patreon community,
this channel wouldn't exist anymore and I
wouldn't be creating the things I love, every
day.
I owe a lot to them.
So, to try and return that favour, just a
little bit, here's some of the rewards I offer
to my Patreon community;
All supporters get Ad-free & early access
to new videos.
You can watch them before anyone else, and
without any of those irritating Skip buttons
popping up.
You'll also be a part of exclusive updates,
polls, Q&A sessions and videos, ranging from
Office tours to deciding what the next system
story should be.
You get access to the Nostalgia Nerd Discord
community, which is basically like a giant
Yahoo chat room of the 90s, but with better,
less thirsty people, AND you get my continuous
and unwavering appreciation.
Seriously, it means a hell of a lot. That you appreciate what I do, and you want to keep it going.
For those wanting a bit more bang for their
buck, you can become an Official channel member,
and receive a Membership pack in the post.
Including stuff like this.
Yes, it'll feel like you're 10 years old again,
waiting for your Desperate Dan badge and membership card from
Dandy.
I'll also be hosting member exclusive streams,
including behind the scenes video editing
and problem solving.
Members also get their name in every video.
If it takes your fancy, you can upgrade to
higher tiers, and get a Co-producer credit,
which will appear at the start of select videos,
along with an exclusive monthly behind the
scenes email, from me, directly to your inbox.
Oh, and you get to be a VIP on Twitch, and
some other stuff.
Step up to the final levels, and you get THINGS
sent in the post, from my signed book to the
Nostalgia Mystery box, packed full of treasures,
trinkets and things of both old, and that
companies have sent me, but are taking up
too much space in my office.
All your support is ploughed directly back
into the channel, through either rent, equipment
costs, expenses, or for new glorious items
to share with you, and then likely preserve
on a shelf for all of eternity.
Ensuring one of those people who turn ZX Spectrum's
into framed gifts doesn't get hold of them,
and DESTROY a thing of pure beauty.
So there we go.
That's my pitch.
Be sure to prioritise smaller channels over
mine, but if you want to get involved in my
Patreon, then the link is below.
In any case, thank you for watching, and have
a great evening.
