Hey, all! My name's Aidan — I'm a writer, games journalist, and photographer. For the past several years, I've been sharing my CRT photos with y'all on Bluesky and elsewhere, and they've always been shared widely and received a lot of love.

However, my PVM was in slow decline—with several linearity and power supply issues that were getting worse—and without repairs, I wouldn't be able to keep taking and sharing my photos. While I enjoy taking photos of my other CRTs, my PVM has always been, far and away, the most popular among fans.

Unfortunately, the first tech I hired to do a recap and address the issues left it in worse shape than he'd received it (the PVM wouldn't even turn on after I got it back). Fortunately, it's in good hands now... but repairs are going to be pricey.

So, I'm asking for your help! If you've ever enjoyed my CRT photos on Bluesky or other sites, or if you're just a fan of my work as a writer or co-host of the FunFactor Podcast, please consider pitching in a few bucks to help with the repair costs.

If you donate, let me know in a comment or message which game you'd like to see shared as a photo, and I'll do my best to cover as many as possible when my PVM is back to life!

Note: If you already donated via PayPal last week , I've adjusted the GFM goal to account for the donations already received. So, thank you!
