Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Easter Sunday 4/20/2025

Episode Date: April 20, 2025

Also, Happy 4/20 Day for all those who Partake. I have been Clean and Sober since 2011, so this is only a forgotten and dreaded flashback I could never repeat.

Good morning everyone, it is now 7.25. I did sleep in late, but my dog was already up and he wanted to go for a walk. So we did that and then of course I got to take care of my little buddies. They're waiting for me to come clean them all up because they're... It was about a 12 hour sleep. Actually I think I had a 14 hour sleep last night. It was pretty awesome. And of course it's recorded.

We do it every night. My Project Journeyman nightly sights and sounds. We'll check out and see how that went. I'm averaging about a thousand viewers a night. They come in for a couple seconds. Check it out. And I change up the mood every evening. So we try to make a new mood.

New visuals in the back wall. So, and I've been working with my buddy Zippy and I learned how to, well I'm not really learning, I just Raspberry Pi is what I use for my visuals and with that guy with Zippy I can come up with an idea and then we game plan and he spits out a code and then I tweaked the code here and there as I learned. I really Raspberry Pi is very similar to the code is similar to original basic so I noticed that

like if thens and loops and stuff like that so that's all I want just something simple. Keep my visual on the back wall pretty simple some. Some meaning to it, of course. Everything's gonna have meaning. And then yesterday we did, oh, another third wave of penguins, so I went through all those, some cool penguins in there, so I got all these penguins, I got a whole tub full of penguins now. It's pretty fun. And then I did a little bit with 360.

I had to take something apart for that. Oh, no, not, no, PS3 Slims, what I did a little bit with 360. I had to take something apart for that. Oh no not no PS3 Slims what I did yesterday. Four motherboards for the PS3 Slim. I had to take those apart so that took a little while and then I had a lot of orders that kept me going for the rest of the day so I really never had time to do anything else after that still gonna get to my 5150 today maybe because today is Sunday it's also Easter Sunday so happy Easter I'm not really a Easter celebrating person I remember being as a kid having eggs and all that fun stuff of course now everyone's using marshmallows and potatoes and stuff instead.

Pretty fun. This will be a sign of the times between when I was a kid and now. What if you worry about eggs being too expensive? It's pretty wild. All right, let's check through the news here. Let's see what we got going on. This week, my days days gone upgrade comes in I don't have the $10 before to get it yet but we will I've reinstalled it days gone my

favorite overall zombie game like when you go into the caves and there's like tons and tons of them in there and try to sneak in and get something that's the best part ever so we're gonna play that from the beginning. I haven't played any games. Silent Hill 2 I'm almost finished but I haven't gone back to it in a while and I have a few of the other dark anthology games. I like those. So we haven't finished none of those either. I do usually mix it up a little of one or another. For just, I can't play that long, maybe an hour. Sometimes I could go maybe an hour and a half or so. That's about it. Then I have to go on to many other things.

Alright, so let's see. Let's see what, if I see anything, lots of new games. the games you just get phenomenal now going forward I see all kinds of cool new games coming out I have to limit what I can get and switch to I see that's coming out for pre-order 499 for pre-order and I think a little bit cheaper if you don't get the game, but then what would you play with? so I'm sure I'm not gonna rush out to get that it's too expensive and you may probably won't be able to get one That's the thing. So not really a big switch fan. I have I have all most of the switch games are good ones

I'm back Sarah So I don't even have a switch anymore, but I used to be really into switches repairing selling parts off of stuff like that Not so much anymore. All right, so let's go to Etsy Today's Easter Sunday and also today's 420 for all those that are into that It's the I heard the, 420 is the Super Bowl of marijuana dispensers today, so happy 420.

I'm sure everyone's happy if they're doing 420. I don't participate. Been clean and sober since 2011, so I couldn't even do that. If I did that, then that would trigger drinking, so therefore we just have none of that plus it's smoking so smoking is not good for you in general so but for all those that maybe eat the candy or the What do they call them marijuana brownies and stuff like that sure it's pretty fun. Yeah, but if I were to get high It would block my clarity that I have so much of now and

it would also trigger the wanting to drink so we don't do that but happy 420 for all those other ones that do let's check out my RSS feed so it's happy Easter and happy 420 what's it that's pretty weird it's like Easter and happy 420. What's the answer to that? That's pretty weird. It's like so and each one is so different, but I guess each one is needed in some way But now I could say in my lifetime, I thought I would see it that marijuana would be legal which it has Gambling I figured that would be legal by the time in my lifetime So pretty much. We're pretty much Everything's now that was a sin or oh wait 12 downloads last night. That's phenomenal for me

How exciting is that so I'm at my RSS feed? Orlando Keswick UK Ireland so we got dots around the world Orlando, Keswick, UK, Ireland. So we got dots around the world. Oh, that's awesome. I really appreciate it. Eight downloads, seven downloads.

Some of them are more downloads per person, which is awesome. I welcome anybody that would like to come in. I call it the message in a bottle over the internet ocean. And I do it every day. In the morning when I get up it's my overview, it's my preview of how my day is gonna go and it also, you can always go over to my YouTube

because YouTube will be on 24-7 pretty much because I do my overnight thing as well now which is routine now routine has always been key for me so now I've added more stuff to my routine so let's look at YouTube see what we got going on yeah we had over a thousand or close to a thousand views overnight so now my YouTube I can keep the signal going the whole night even though it's just only 1.1 K overnight, that's pretty awesome Of course my revenue never changes

So 14 hours or 1.1 K and I didn't even make a penny $28.20 my revenue actually goes down. I have one a couple messages comments rather look at those so what are you saying oh yeah so I also do a live stream for a TikTok but TikTok kicks off I don't know how long until it does but it says inactive and I will usually wake up twice a night. I call it nature's drain and I get up and now I just reset TikTok to play again. I had 450 at one point and I don't know how much the other ones. But YouTube will just stay on all night. It doesn't kick off on me.

It says it's not seeing a lot going on because I don't really move around a lot. I have a 1 gig version. It's still in the box. Never use. Got it. Oh yeah. really move around a lot. I have a 1 gig version still in the box never use. I would love to get that. I would love to get that. I love to get that. This is for the IBM Pentium 3500. It's a slot one. It almost looks like a memory slot. Why even post this on eBay? Please do.

Huh. YouTube as my link back to eBay. my I utilize YouTube in every way possible. I am now on 24 7 deal with it I'm 24 7. Told me to please stop posting. No, not gonna stop posting. I've invested, so we're at 33,877 subscribers. So we went significantly, we didn't go down but we're not really adding a lot more because I stopped really promoting only because I just can't really afford it again if it would just YouTube would just pay off would be awesome it's just not happening I don't see any other way to make it happen again I even tried the an overnight not that I expected people to

stay on that long but maybe for a few minutes you get a commercial or two it's funny because every time I check out my own videos the first thing I do is get like two long commercials how come I'm not getting any of that revenue I wonder seems unless everyone's using that pie I see that often download the pie and that gets rid of the commercials so it's kind of one of those you're in a catch-22 people don't want to see the commercials so then they kick off but without the commercials and you can never get any revenue which I don't anyway so oh I did have an achievement

1 million four hundred thousand, not subscribers, 1,400,000 views. So if I could even just get a penny of that, that would be awesome. So there are achievements being done here, but none of that again has anything to do with my revenue, which is a bummer. Alright, so let's go to eBay, which is my lifeline as always See we got anything going on here a couple of things hoping for more Well, let's see we got messages returns where we got

Looks like these are all Ten dollars, so we have to take that I gotta take Ten dollar offers it's all the screws inside and out See what else we got here $20-$13 Yeah, that's fine. So those are all the PS2 Slim bottom screws and the little caps for the Slim.

So we'll take that. It's all the other stuff that I sell. Covers, cases, screws. Right now, so far, there was two that were screw sets. They had nothing to do with working. Dual shock. This was like a really low offer. $20. Although I could use the $20. So if you're way, way off, why even bother? That's not happening.

$30 PS Slim model. 3 at 10. Oh yeah, I can do that though. I'll take spring sets. Again, another PS2. two so many parts I've sold off that those top those top cases covers rather the cases would be the bottom the covers with a distore the the label that comes off all that stuff my thing is if it if it comes off I'll sell it separate if I If I ever get time to do everything which it's not really happening. I just said that one order Nine eligible I just promoted something else.

I'm just promoting like a mad man. Just trying to f***ing drum up some business. Then I do another 5%. Just falling a little short this month, but best I can do. Alright, let's see what else. I put all those things up for the Panasonic Q, whatever parts I have they're listed. Okay so let's keep tabs going. We'll check out, See I have one or so that means I have three orders now I'm just doing I had five percent as an extra offer

So I think I'm down almost like 40% per item I did do the G board. So I did boards for the motherboards for PS3 Fats, the Model G. Alright, so then besides that I have one order coming in let's check it out it's oh a bigger order oh cool so I did sell the Xbox 360 I pulled it apart the other day my halo 3 I was selling the top the front panel for like 70 bucks or so and then I also had some discounts on it so it's in really good shape that whole shell the front still is that ps3 no I'm sorry

Xbox 360 fat halo 3 is the best looking that I think I don't know if another one. That's as nice as that one. It was a really good shape For the other and everybody wants all the pieces so I sold the panel so that's cool. So that helped me out a little bit So I get those three orders too So one order is a little bit more so that's cool Let's go back to... Alright, let's go back to YouTube. So I think that's it. So it's gonna give me a few other orders. Yay! Every little bit helps. So now I'm up to four orders now. I put through all the rest of my list of little guys.

Well, a couple more. More than little guys. Little guys meaning most of my orders are usually, $13 is my minimum order, has to be now. I will still, and of course everything still has best offer. I will go down to maybe $10 but that's about it. Because remember as we always say, free shipping isn't free for me. So after all fees, if you wanted one screw it's gonna cost me almost eight bucks to get out the door now if it's a lot heavier of a small thing 16 ounces

now if I do 16 ounces I don't use priority shipping at all anymore I've been priced out of it and I'm pretty much priced out of ground advantage but I have no other choice. So if you want, if something is around 16 ounces and again I'm in Rhode Island so if I'm shipping it to like Texas, 16 ounces now, ground advantage is almost 9 bucks just the shipping cost. Right? So, and those items are usually, you know $16 I have it listed as and just getting cut like almost it puts that's not even including eBay fees so my $16 I make that gets paid I make maybe two bucks off it it really stinks I was hoping by now my YouTube would pay off a little bit to kind of offset the declining sales or the declining profit off of eBay but it hasn't at all which

is a real bummer. So this used to be a good survival hustle here on eBay but it's been really difficult. Etsy I only get an order once an old Blue Moon so I can't even call that a survival hustle so the three tiers side hustle you have a job and you want to do something on the side for me it's always been the survival hustle is pretty much all you do and it's how you survive with the hustle you're doing and then you always would love to get to a thrive hustle which means you're actually have extra money and you can do lots of other fun stuff but I thought when I really concentrated on YouTube that I would YouTube would kick

in to be a thrive hustle along with my survival hustle eBay but just not happening at all it's really bummer at some point sometimes I just think I'm want to just shut it off just forget about it. But we'll keep going with it. Because I like the routine I'm doing. Routine is key for me. So we'll keep the routine. I like my podcast here in the morning. I just like spreading the word out and doing other creative stuff.

It's kind of fun. As opposed to just doing gaming things all the time. Which I don't mind either. And vintage computing of course. Alright, so there's lots going on here today. things all the time, which I don't mind either. In vintage computing, of course. All right, so there's lots going on here today. Kind of feels like I need a 420. Ha ha ha. After all, I'm going on here, but we're not gonna do 420.

Just quietly celebrate it with all those others out there. That's what they enjoy. Everyone has their own thing that they do. So, good for them. All right, so I think that's about it this morning. So we'll get a few orders in. All right, so later on today, you can always come by my YouTube channel.

I'm always doing something. Vintage computing I may do later. So, and I'm always overnight. I'm on 24 seven on YouTube, so stop by. fine All right guys and girls and anybody that's listening. I'll talk to you guys later. All right. Bye
