Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Friday 1-3-2025

Episode Date: January 3, 2025

Already going into another Weekend after Holiday Break.

Good morning, everyone. It is 5, a little after 5, 5.14. So we're on Friday. Of course, we're going right into another weekend. So it's been like holiday, short weekend, into the weekend, and then holiday again. But now it's this weekend. So, yesterday, what did I do yesterday? Oh, I got a lot of stuff done yesterday. Did some videos, played around with some stuff. Oh, no, it was a good day.

I got a lot of things accomplished yesterday. And I got my orders out because I had orders for over the New Year's Day. So, there was no post office. So, we got some orders out. And the news. The news is still pretty glum. But we'll leave it at that. And.

Anything else going on? No let's see. So we'll just go. Oh I did Xbox One yesterday. I did all the way through to the Series X. S and X Just a boot process just to get a kind of Idea of what kind of things going on there

I was hoping that the The white Series X All digital was maybe a little bit More of an upgrade but it's not The same as the Series X So for 50 bucks More I might as well get the one with the hard disk drive.

I'm not getting anything now, but down in the future. Or maybe I'll just wait until the next... So 2025, definitely 2026 will be an exciting year for all new systems. I'm expecting no more PS5s after the Pro just came out.

And also, I don't think the Xbox One series is going to have anything else. So now we just kind of sit back and wait and see what comes next. So that's pretty exciting. Alright, so let's, um... And of course, there's lots of fun games coming out. 2025, 2026, and beyond. Uh, Death Stranding 2 being my

number one game. And also Subnautical 2. I'm a big fan of Subnauticals. It's really fun. It says the Fermi Paradox Technology Time Bombs.

I'm not sure what that is. Sounds interesting though. Try to read little articles. Now I know how to combine a couple of small articles into one podcast. So I try to keep it around 20 minutes.

I find that a good time. So looking through the news. Let's see if I see anything. So today good time. So, looking through the news. Let's see if I see anything. So, today is Friday. Let's see. When and where to see Quantra Tides 2025's first media shower. Oh, cool.

All right, so I'm not seeing anything earth-shattering in the news other than the last two big things. All right, so let's go on to, says best PS5 games. So I think 2024 was a terrible year for games. I didn't really see anything that really jumped out. It was like, whoa. And then I bought a few of them that were not really that good.

So, well, you stop doing that. It's got to be something that's really got to catch my eye unless it's on sale like i had that strays game i've been playing well i don't know if we're gonna play it anymore because i got stuck but it was fun it was on sale so that was pretty cool all right so let's go to etsy oh i got to connect the internet i didn't realize i'm not connected yet hold on a second that's why the news hasn't changed. So.

I just realized that. Alright, so I got to plug the internet in. I was wondering, like, the news looked like the same from yesterday. So I have the Wi-Fi modem in my room. And it has a bright light on it. So at night time I'll get up in the middle of the night. And if my mother is going to sleep. I can just unplug it.

Because in the old days with the cable boxes. Those things took so much energy. And they were always running so, so hot. Those things were a fire hazard. So anytime I could unplug them, I would. Especially overnight when you're not sleeping anywhere and they just run for no reason. Same with the Wi-Fi box now. Same thing.

It's not as energy draining. And then I have everything in my room is on some sort of a switch so as soon as i go to bed i before i go to bed i hit a couple of switches and it shuts all the power off everywhere so i try to save power and i'll leave nothing running nothing on anywhere i don't leave like phones charged overnight. I don't do any of that. I watch every, yeah, anytime something's charged, it's

automatically unplugged. Even the charger plugged into the plug in the wall, I take out. Because those are where your fires happen. Especially like overnight when you're sleeping. Same, like down in my basement i have lots of technology uh down there but there's nothing plugged in anywhere it's just all

unplugged and stacked fun stuff so i'm just waiting for my internet to connect another minute or two and then we'll go on to see now. Then we'll go back to the news again. Yeah, so I downloaded WavePad. WavePad, I want to say it's called. And I was able to learn pretty quickly. WavePad Sound Editor. It came with some other stuff too.

Mixpad and some other stuff. And I can easily take too short audios and just kind of like put them together. It's pretty cool. Never did that before. So lots of new stuff I've been doing. Since... Oh, here we go.

I think we're active now. Cool. Since I started doing podcasts, I've learned how to do other stuff that's kind of relevant to help me out. Alright, so let's see now what the internet says. Okay. Now we've went to a new

updated page here. As posted before. So now let's breeze the news again. Again, it's MSN. Nothing. Even if everyone time travels, they may not remember or capture it. Even if someone time travels,

they may not remember or capture it. Interesting. So you can't just, like in the movies, just travel to a certain place and everything will be the same again. Seems very difficult. Hard to believe that could happen.

There's a football. There's another Fantastic Four coming out. But they haven't showed what it's about yet again I go back to all comics, DC Comics and Marvel how many times are we going to

redo the same characters over and over again it seems I mean they're fun but it just gets old there's a new Superman coming out. It looks weird. Alright so now I can get the Etsy. I couldn't get that before.

Now we're on the internet. Oh I may have an order. That'd be cool. Because I had to pay out my negative. Oh I did have an order. That'd be cool. Because I had to pay out my negative. Oh, I did have an order. That's cool. Very fun.

Let's see what order we got. Oh, yeah, cool. The, um... Super Nintendo, those purple buttons, and the things that come with them. I found another set, actually. And I also have some that are... They get dark.

But I have some that are the true purple. So that's cool. So I saw a set of that. So hopefully maybe this month I'll get positive again. can almost i gotta see if i can find i can relist that too because i have one more i found the other half is the um so the super fancom uh is so much better design we got robbed here in the united states even the fancom is so much better looking compared to the NES and the Super Nintendo

blah and they got those terrible purple buttons that darken over all these years but luckily once in a while I get ones that are still um ok but most of the ones I have are darkened or they're like half darkened

or and then they get really ugly purple after that so that's never fun people don't want those so I've just found a couple so we'll get those listed today I mean we'll get those sold and I'll set up put another listing up for another one I'm going to change my ink my toner rather I call it ink but it's not well it still is ink

it's a laser printer that I've had forever it still works but the toner is really low. But I let it go way past when it says it's out of ink. Never go by that. I've printed out 500 things since it said I was out of

ink. You take it out, you shake it up a little bit, and then you put it back in and you can use it some more. You just keep doing that until it just finally doesn't do it anymore. It's a one-man shop. You gotta pull these little things to try to

save money. Then I get the cheap ink toners on eBay. Two for the price I would pay if I bought an original one. All right, so let's go to RSS feed.

Let's see what we're at here this morning. Podbean always comes up. So Podbean was another, podbean.com. That was the other option. I went with the rss.com. Not sure if it was better or worse. It's been fun so far.

I just do it as a routine now. Because I'm very routine orientated. It's very important. If you have some sort of mental health struggles. And if you have sobriety. You need a routine. But it's got to be a healthy routine. And one that will work for what you're doing.

So I keep a good routine so i had two downloads last night so this was an added routine i can add things to my routine i usually don't take things away not that often sometimes i will um so let's see oh i don't see the dots today where's my dots go oh that's a bummer it doesn't show them doesn't show the map i wonder why oh maybe i went too far i went too far okay so the map so the dot so i figured out i figured out on these dots the dots change as the locations change so then uh so i got a few more people around the united states i welcome anybody that wants to come and hang out try to keep it interesting i try to mix up some stuff it's not always gaming related it can be vintage computing or uh in the future computing

because i'm really into the quantum computing stuff. So all the way around there. And, of course, I do my groundhog day every morning because it's just what I do. All right, so we'll go to YouTube. We're getting there. We're climbing. Climbing the ladder. Ladder?

Ladder. Ladder. climbing the ladder ladder ladder ladder although uh it does not mean you're making any more money which we've learned for for me anyway from my studio let's see oh so i'm at 8348 subscribers again i'm making sure I don't say subs because that's a sandwich. And it's not a... It's disrespectful to all these people that join and want to hang out with you. Got a few comments.

Let's see. Oh, yesterday I did Sega Game Gear Teardown. Testing in Teardown. I have three of them. Two are really corroded inside. Three different motherboards in there. I found a VA5, a VA1, and one that had no VA marking on it.

My estimated revenue is going up to $38.03. So I've gone up a dollar. Although I've gone up hundreds of subscribers, I've only gone up a dollar because that doesn't really matter it doesn't matter how many you get the people that sit and watch your stuff and as we always talk my duration although a little bit better

2 minutes and 10 seconds is my overall issue so let's see my comments I've got a few a cute video that's my phone it's my video of me on the couch when I got my present thank you this this that's an S not C

you're welcome S not C I don't understand that question that's an S not C no that's a that is a model G

with I spelled something wrong but I don't see it I have to look PS3 fat model G I spelled something wrong but I don't see it. I'll have to look. PS3 Fat Model G. Maybe I have something spelled wrong and I'm not seeing it. Got some emoji action for ColecoVision.

And reply. I don't know how to reply to an emoji. Do I put my own emoji? What if I don't know what that emoji means? A lot of times, I don't know the whole emoji thing. Hearts is pretty self-explanatory. I like to just reply. Once in a while maybe I'll get a little conversation

going. If it's good. If it's something weird, then I ain't gonna do that. Overall, we're still plugging away here. I'm just a little channel that could. Which is pretty exciting to see where it goes. That's just kind of how I am. I just put things out there and see where it goes. That's just kind of how I am.

I just put things out there and see where it goes. PS3, defective donor, motherboards. I got a lot of videos on that one. A lot of views. Well, for me, a lot of views is 500. Oh, so my Google for the month, last month was $128 I spent on uh promotions i knew i was gonna get hit hard but that got me pretty far to where i am now but it's again i've only made 38 so that means

and then the month before i think i was like 60 or something so probably almost at 200 i've put into promotions i have 38.3 cents that i can't get to because it's locked in until you make $100. So at least if I could just throw that back into the promotions, I would. That would only make sense. Just keep promoting until maybe I get enough of a volume of watchers out of all the subscribers it's really the kind of the only the only option i have left here but it's still fun though again i just throw things against the wall see what sticks and once in a while stuff does so that's pretty cool all right so we'll go there oh i want to fix a couple of my um so if you do a live feed on your phone

vertical it only gives you the thumbnail of your picture so I have to go back to the next day I put the next day to throw a photo I mean one of the images of what Of what I'm doing. So I'll do that. As a thumbnail. So I'll do that. And then I did. Oh Game Gear. I did Game Gear 2. A little bit of a live stream on that. And I also had this IQ thing going on.

That is $19 a month. So. I'm really investing in it. And the other interesting thing that I'm wondering is what happens if TikTok does get actually banned? How that works? Will that affect YouTube? Meaning, will a lot of people come over to YouTube? As another option? I'm kind of banking on that in a way i do put videos on tiktok all the time

but i haven't really done anything else because because why should i i can't count on it i'm sure there's tons of ways to make tons and tons of money there i have no idea how but i'm thinking maybe people will transfer over here or they'll make a new one i think seesaw would be a cool name for uh a video thing seesaw right that makes sense see and saw so somebody comes up with a website called seesaw so tiktok it's seesaw i thought that would be fun all right so let's go to eBay. Oh, what's my time here? Almost 20 minutes. Piercing.

Gene, express study reveals human brain cell types. So the brain, we can't replicate the brain know why that is basically the first thing we try to replicate all right so let's go to eBay to wrap it's been a little bit slower a little bit on target right now you know for me every sale is I live by the sales just to pay bills basically I don't get ahead in any way

at all and sometimes I'm behind so trying to get ahead a little bit I don't need money for anything just to pay bills that's it. Buy some fun stuff.

So. A couple good feedbacks. For it arrived quickly. Battery holder. So that's good. Good feedback there. Oh I got one item in yesterday. My wireless audio mics.

That I use for my phones. I I got two I ordered two sets in there have little rechargeable plug-in things we're gonna look at those a little while I'm very excited about that I use those for both phones so what I'm doing videos I get better sound so we'll look at those in a bit. So no, we have a feedback. Three orders. Let's see what else we got here. Thank you for your kindness. Spirit, may I come work for your company? This guy keeps asking me to come work for me.

I don't know what that's all about. Let me know if you get any SD-ID boards for the OG motherboards. I might have one of those. He's asking about the... Let me check. I think I do. I might have one. So on the original 01 through 05 original Xbox, there's the dreaded Samsung disk drives. But of the Samsung disk drives, there's an SDG-605F and then there's an SDG-605B.

They're different and one is more sought after. But I sell the boards. The F1 is the one people don't want the g the b is the one i think i have one let me check i think i have one not listed again very important the first thing you do when I get up after I go through my whole podcast morning here is to reply to my messages. Normally, what I used to do, this would have been the first thing that I always did until I started the podcast in my early morning grown-up day,

is I would be right on this. Got to check all messages, reply to any buyers. I am I will never be sure how to help you this guy's asking kind of strange questions about working phone

I will never be sure how to help you how to help you. How to help you. He just keeps saying he wants to come work for me. So he likes my spirit. So that's cool. I try to have a good spirit. About stuff. Keep it upbeat, positive, and fun. Why not, right?

Just as I get older definitely my spirit is definitely pretty good although I have days usually it's a sale or an issue with eBay and my spirit goes the wrong way really fast but most of the time it's pretty cool try to keep but I get annoyed pretty easy all right so I sold Nintendo Wii U inner and around screws no front plate screws I sold a ps3 S3 CECH 2001 power button board. Oh, and I sold 10 Nintendo Wii

square nuts. So it's the square, there's a little square nut inside when you take a Wii apart. And that holds the battery compartment screw. So, there's 10 of those little nuts. I've got to go find 10 of them. So I sold those.

That's pretty cool. They're only a few bucks here and a few bucks there. I have no big orders since the last few. So I sent out some big orders over the weekend I haven't seen any feedback yet on those I don't like sent but I don't like really shipping big things but I do and I have to I'm gonna put a couple more big things up soon we'll test them and do all the videos for them too as well so makes for a video and then I can try to get up for sale so let's see right at the cusp of my ink being done but I keep printing things out

anyway as long as I can see the printing label I'm gonna keep using it I do a packing chip slip with every order so I can I have two stamps, one's a thank you stamp and the other is a if there's any problems stamp, a rubber stamp most times when you get orders

from other people there's some sort of comment card in there or a thank you card, those cost money and for me last last time i checked i was at 27 000 parts so if i would have done one comment card at 50 cents each for that many orders that's a lot of money the lowest stamp cards i use a stamp i rub stamp champs and i got a three inch and like a six-inch bigger stamp. And I just stamp stuff.

And every once in a while, I have to get a new stamp pad. That's it. And then I sign it. I sign everything saying thank you. I have the worst handwriting and the worst signature ever. But I sign each and every one of them before I ship it. Once in a while, I sign it so quickly that I spell it wrong. Something's spelled wrong.

So once in a while I get somebody that says thank you. I say thank you. I put the efforts there. I'm just trying to say thanks. So that's how I do my shipping. And rubber stamp champs. Big fan. I've been champs. Big fan. I've been using the same rubber stamp.

I had two. I had three. But I got rid of one. I didn't need any more. So I just had the two. And. I've stamped. Tens of thousands of things.

Literally tens of thousands of stuff. With those two. And I've gone through some stamp pads. Obviously. Probably. I don't know, 30. But I found them cheaper. But they have to be wider to fit the bigger stamp that I have. Alright, so that looks like my day.

Pretty wide open. And I'm going to do... What am I doing today? Oh, I'm going to do... I'm going to go back to my Ataris 800s. I have two of them to get listed at the motherboards. And then I might list some of these Sega Game Gear stuff that I just took apart yesterday. I started a new listing of stuff for that system. All those little parts. Because even if I get a couple things up, then Baris will ask if I have other stuff. Right now I don't have anything for the game gear listed. But today I think I'll do that. Set the screws up and a few other things.

Even the broken boards, they're all corroded, but they may be good for somebody else. The screen may be good, but the screen's all attached to it. So there's really no way to... At least I don't know how to do it. Okay. So that's my two. And then I'll pick...

Oh, we're going to do PS4 today. The boot process. We'll start with the original 3. And see how long that takes. I did all the Xbox Ones yesterday and Series X yesterday. So we'll stop there and then we'll see where we go.

Alright. So that's my orders for the day. Looks pretty cool. Alright, so you have a good afternoon and I'll do some PS4 stuff later on. Alright, talk to you later. Bye.
