<p>Last but certainly not least, one of my goals is to build a community for great people to just chill, have fun, and help each other out when the need arises.

Everyone is welcome to join the community, all I ask is that you simply just be excellent to each other. Easy enough, right?</p>
<p>These worlds are open to everyone who would like to play on them. There are no mods installed, I am open to adding mods in the future and even adding more worlds, just let me know!</p>

title: Welcome to Bit Goblin!
---
Welcome! My name is Greg Ballantine and Bit Goblin is my passion project for creating YouTube videos on tech. I love tinkering with all things related to computers, and I enjoy documenting the things that I do so that others can use my struggles to ease their own. Whether it's buildings PCs, playing with networking gear, or exploring the beauty of Linux, there are lots of things to play with and try to help others with.

The primary way to support my work is through donations on [my Patreon page](https://patreon.com/BitGoblin). I don't have any reward tiers over there yet, but I do plan on adding some rewards at some point in the future.
You can also support me by [joining Honey using my referral link](https://www.joinhoney.com/ref/9ohqcf9)! Honey helps you save money on popular websites by searching for coupons to get you discounts while you're shopping. And the best part is that it's free!
If you're looking for a cloud VPS, consider giving [Vultr](https://www.vultr.com/?ref=9589122-8H) a shot! I've been using it for several years at this point, and it has treated me very well and been extremely reliable over the years.
