Become a sponsor to Alexey Cluster

Hi! My name is Alexey Cluster, and I'm a software and hardware developer. I like retro videogame consoles and make some stuff for them. I have many projects for NES and Famicom. Also, I have a YouTube channel about it.
You can support my open source work 😊

Debugging Duck Emergency Fund

Sometimes, the only thing standing between a programmer and total madness is a trusty rubber duck. For just $3, you can sponsor a new debugging duck to join my ever-growing army. These brave little heroes listen patiently to my endless rants about semicolons, mysterious segfaults, and why Wi-Fi only breaks on weekends. Without them, I might have to start talking to my plants instead. Save the plants!

$4 one time

Keyboard Key Replacement Fund

Ever smashed your keyboard’s ESC key in frustration? Me too. For just $4, you can sponsor the replacement of a key lost in battle with an especially stubborn bug. Every new keycap is a symbol of hope, renewal, and slightly cleaner code (but only slightly).

$5 one time

Select

Syntax Error Survival Kit

There’s nothing quite like the sinking feeling of seeing “SyntaxError” after an hour of furious typing. For $5, you sponsor a care package of digital snacks and gentle reminders to actually close those brackets. Your contribution may prevent at least one existential crisis this month.

$7 one time

Select

Stack Overflow Scrolling Marathon

For $7, you fund a heroic scroll through dozens of Stack Overflow threads in search of That One Solution™. Your support helps keep my F5 key in working order and my patience intact (well, mostly). Bonus: you’ll be spiritually present during every “have you tried turning it off and on again?” moment.

$9 one time

Coffee Spill Recovery Plan

Spilled coffee on my desk again? Oops. For $9, you provide the moral (and, occasionally, physical) support needed to clean up the mess and keep the code flowing. With your help, keyboards stay drier, and my codebase survives another caffeine tsunami.

$10 one time

Fresh Solder Roll Initiative

There’s no feeling quite like peeling the wrapper off a brand new roll of solder and realizing you still don’t know what you’re doing. For just $10, you’re directly enabling the creation of circuits that may or may not release magic smoke. Your support helps me keep the magic (and the soldering iron) hot — and ensures I’ll have enough to fix at least two projects and break three more. Support electronics chaos today!

$12 one time

Select

Breadboard Wire Resupply

Where do all the jumper wires go? Nobody knows. For $12, you help replenish my endless supply of wires, clips, and those mysterious little bits that always disappear right before I need them. Maybe now my circuits will be slightly less spaghetti and slightly more masterpiece.

$20 one time

Retro Cartridge Resuscitation

Remember the ancient ritual of blowing into a game cartridge, convinced it would summon the gaming gods? With $20, you help me keep those nostalgic traditions alive. Whether it’s a Famicom disk drive, a suspicious NES cart, or something that’s half melted, your support gives me the courage to keep tinkering with old-school tech — and occasionally, to believe in miracles.

$50 one time

Select

Spaghetti Code Exorcism

We’ve all got that one file named “final_final_v4_really_final.c” that haunts our dreams. With $50, you sponsor a brave expedition into the tangled jungle of legacy code. Will I emerge victorious or be consumed by cryptic variable names and 3AM hacks? Only time (and your support) will tell. Help me fight the good fight for cleaner, slightly less embarrassing source code!

The Ultimate Sponsor Supreme

For $100, you don’t just support a project — you become a myth whispered about in README files. Maybe I’ll upgrade my tools. Maybe I’ll buy a coffee so strong it opens a portal to the fourth dimension. Maybe I’ll finally figure out why that one bug keeps happening only on Tuesdays. Either way, your support is legendary, and the universe itself probably owes you a favor now. Thank you for making the impossible just a bit more likely!
