please help a cute queer disabled bean get their PC fixed and get them working again

At 3/4 of the way there, just need a tiny bit more, so will keep making noise hoping the right people notice. Huge thanks to everyone who has pitched in! 💜

My PC died, preventing me from accepting contract work, my only source of income for the last few years. My setup is old (i5-7500, DDR3) so even though only my motherboard is fried, I practically need to replace my CPU and RAM, too.
I'm stuck w/o assistance: no PC => can't work => can't fix PC.

An amazing friend drafted a to help (gofundme.com/f/new-pc-for-shis), and I'm close to my goal: enough money for the cheapest local micro-ATX A520 mobo, a Ryzen 5 5500 and 2x16GB of DDR4.

If you are able and willing, every tiny bit helps! If GFM is not your jam, I've listed other ways to help out below in a 👇 reply 👇

some other ways to help out

  1. hire me!
    I know how to do a LOT of things.
    Recently I have done e.g. audio editing and sound design of SFW & NSFW ASMR, video editing stuff - motion graphics, light VFX, etc., and coding - a Discord bot for youtube and patreon notifications, a system for mirroring a Carrd site to a custom domain w/o paying for Carrd Pro, just to name two cool projects.
    I'm flexible with rates, and willing to hear any kind of offer and idea. DM me!

  2. You can also buy my music shinmai.bandcamp.com
    It's all PWYW, most of it is some form of Creative Commons, usually there are instrumental versions available to buy with a very permissive CC license for use in projects.

  3. Other ways to donate
    My PayPal [paypal.me] (masked link b/c of deadname)
    My Ko-fi ko-fi.com/shi (goes to the PayPal after Ko-fi's cut, but I know some people prefer it)
    I also have MobilePay (for people in Finland/the Nordics), DM me for deets.

Thanks for your time if you made it this far! 💖

shinmaishinmaiI'm an enby geek gamedev who dabbles in electronic music and chiptunes. Atari Testarossa is my nom de plume for synthwavey stuff, Abe Skerries is for most other music and shinmai is what I go by online in general.
