The Mission: Saving the Digital Past

We are living in an era where classic gaming websites, developer interviews and community mods are disappearing every day. My goal with The Valiant and the PC Gaming Shelter is to build a permanent sanctuary where this history is safe. When you support the channel, you are not just paying for a video, you are helping me index, archive and preserve the stories and technical data that defined PC gaming.

Current Mission Status: The PC Gaming Shelter launched in early 2026 and is currently in its foundation phase. A synchronized event calendar and a custom Discord bot for gaming events are currently in development. Stay tuned for further technical updates.

Fueling the Archive

Since 2020, I have dedicated thousands of hours to leveling up The Valiant by improving audio quality, better editing and diving deep into research to bring you the best and most accurate content possible. Just by watching the videos and exploring the Website/Wiki, you are already supporting the mission. Your viewership is the primary engine that keeps the Channel running! However, if you want to help me focus 100% of my time on this community and the PC Gaming Shelter, there are several ways to contribute.

How your support affects the  Mission (Ko-fi, YouTube Memberships, or Affiliate Links):

  • Expanded Content: More developer interviews, game spotlights and technical guides.
  • More & Bigger Events: Game Anniversaries, Noob Nights, Round Table Discussions or Virtual Lan Parties.
  • Archive Growth: Maintaining and growing a dedicated PC Gaming Wiki, a vault for gaming history and community content.

What if you want to support but not with money?

I know not everyone can contribute financially and that is perfectly fine. There are plenty of ways to support The Valiant and the PC Gaming Shelter without breaking the bank:

 

  • Join the Discord: This is our community! Come chat about gaming history, share your setup or just hang out. 
  • Engage with the Videos: Every like, comment and share tells the algorithm that gaming history matters. It’s the easiest way to help.
  • Spread the Word: Tell a fellow gamer about the channel or invite a friend to the adventure.

Whether it’s a coffee or a comment, your support is what makes this project possible. Together, we are making sure these classic games and stories are not lost to time.

Thanks for being part of the crew!
