Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Friday 4/18/2025

Episode Date: April 18, 2025

I will look at my IBM 5150 Today.

Good morning, everyone. It is now 552 days Friday It is 418 2025 Alright, so we're going into the weekend so yesterday I worked on

Later in the day though. I did my desktop my first It's a compact EVO 510. And we learned how to, it was very, very pretty simple. I bought a kit for IDE to compact flash as my, and then I had gotten some compact flash, 16 gigabytes and a couple of eight gigabytes to use as my hard drive.

So it was pretty easy setup. I'd use XP on there there I was gonna use window 2000 is what it was really originally set up for but I thought I had the disk but I don't and it's really expensive so we just went to XP again it's just for games and stuff just to learn how to do it so I had a kit for the extender and the compact flash and I put it on I just had to Delete the partition that was there and then it was an easy peasy setup really fast law to set up the window at XP because Basically, it's like having a solid state drive, but it's just a little compact flash pretty awesome

So we worked on that for a little bit towards the end of the day and then We're pretty much done and now I just got to get drivers actually most of the drivers look like they loaded I have a I put the best CPU I could find in it and I also found a cool WinFast lead tech video card for it so so we're at that's that's the stage we just got it set up I still got a lot to work to do I checked to see all the drivers there's tons of drivers I can put on it they'll have to download and put them on individually so we'll do that later on but that's the first stage and then I

have a second older desktop in my Dell XPS 500 that we're gonna do the same thing to when that's gonna be Windows 98 that's what it was made for so we'll set that one up at some point but today I might go back to my IBM 5150 I found the keyboard and I still have the monitor out and takes up half my workspace so we're gonna go look at that again see where we're at for the next phase for that remember I have two other motherboards That I know nothing about so hopefully I Think the first one that's in it works now with least with bank zero only as Ram. I pulled all the other Ram

So maybe so it must be a RAM problem somewhere and then I spent before that I spent a good two hours I'm really into Raspberry Pi coding I can't do it myself obviously I don't think I'd ever would be able to it seems pretty cool but I use my buddy Zippy of course and I give it ideas and it just spits out a code and then we try it out and then I keep I do I use my overnight project journeyman and it's working out pretty good I finally got in my power adapter the original power adapter for the Raspberry Pi 5 the Raspberry Pi 5 I have and I was using other power adapters

but it kept giving me a low voltage code issue. So I finally got the original one yesterday last night. It came in right before I went to set up my scene for the night. I call it sleeping art and we ran some things overnight. so we'll keep but it took me a while just to get that to run so I have the projector on the side of my screen keep everything quiet I have sound machines so it's a boot setting mood lighting and I think I maybe had a the night before had over 3,000 views last night I think I had at least a thousand or so. Pretty cool. And then we'll keep changing the projector on the wall ideas. And then eventually I'll do, every once in a while I'll do an audio.

Add some audio back in there. It's all mixed up every night. And I got over five face masks now. So I switched up face masks. I put on a new one that I just got in last night. And then in the middle of the night, I switched it over to my frog eyes. I like my frog eyes, which I want.

So this is pretty fun. Just something different. I get those 12 hours, I wanna use it for something. So that's what we're doing. Pretty cool. All right, let's see what's going on this morning. Okay, it's really, it's just a completely different sleep, sleeping on scene.

Very much. It's really weird. All right, so let's see. Let's see, checking some news. Last of Us 2 is out, the second season. I couldn't get into the first season. I don't't know I just don't like the characters they they picked I'll try to look at it again maybe maybe I will give it another whirl but I believe if I read correctly they want a different direction in this season 2 which I bet

means that scene is not in there there's no way they would have put that scene in there. So if you've played that game you know the scene I'm talking about. It changes the whole game. It was like the most brutal scene ever. I was shocked when I watched it. I was like, whoa, what's going on here? But it sets up the game so it makes sense. Just wasn't a fan of that scene Windows 11 Windows 12 is coming out next year you have 16 gigabytes in order and you guys have a really better RAM CPU so I see no difference between Windows 10

Windows 11 I have some computers that have either or depending on if it could upgrade or not so I don't see any difference. Uda Uda Buddha 25.05. Plucky Puff is now available. I want to also put some of my desktops into other operating systems. Like I've been planning around the Raspberry Pi operating system. Pretty just for just for my projects though right now I tried to do it in console mode no not in desktop mode but I confused about what we were doing so I had them my buddy Zippy put me back back into desktop mode because it's really difficult to understand I mean I get it but it just I just wanted to do get my my set for the night So I didn't have time to really try to learn

new quantum game showcases the promises of quantum computers So quantum is quantum computers is one of the big things that I'm interested in All right, so I'll see anything going on sorry, so let's look at my things Alright, sounds like nothing is going on. Alright, so let's look at my things this morning. Alright, so we're on Etsy. Let's see what we got for Etsy. I had somebody leave a comment yesterday on my, when I was doing my desktop yesterday that you couldn't hear me.

Sound. I got two sound things off attach it right to my Neck on my whatever I'm wearing maybe the sound will come up better Because other times I've had people tell me that there's too much crinkling and banging and in the background So either the sounds not loud enough or it's too loud for the background. So it's really hard to I Thought I had the sound is the I got the best mics I could find so it looks like nothing here on Etsy I did a lots of promotions yesterday on eBay which included doing some? Sharing to YouTube I also did some more sales, so we'll see Let's see if that helped any does it been pretty quiet. I Did sell a few things yesterday afternoon though

Before the the for the day of shipping ended So let's go to our says you dive and haven't really had any downloads but I still do these face-full every day because it just helps me wake up I can sit here and talk while I'm going through my routine. Of course it's a Groundhog Day because things pretty much routine stays the same. Downloads. So I had three downloads last night. Awesome.

You never know. Again, it's my message in a bottle States, Mila, Milana, Manola, Manola, there it is. So we had three dots, I can see the map which is pretty exciting. I'd like to see where other cities we get. So those are the three that I've come up I Welcome anybody that comes in and of course go to my YouTube. I pretty much mom now 24-7

in some fashion or another So just trying to create some new stuff Maybe something you want to check out But a lot of it is gate mostly is gaming related during the midday plus I do a few other things I'm working on I got another stop motion coming up I just I found some stuff and I'm gonna I'm gonna do another stop motion I like doing those those take a good hour so to do our two so we'll we'll work on another one of those maybe over the weekend all right so let's go to YouTube so we we had again, I think there's 1100. Let's see how many

overnight views I had. The night before I had a ton more. 1.1k last night overnight. Pretty cools went up 87 watch time watch hours nightly projects So the night before was 3.3k and then last night was 1.1k I'm not sure why that one night. I had that that many. That's pretty awesome though And the script was different on the wall. It'll change As we go here. Revenue again the same $28.40. All this work for just for fun basically. I'm hoping it someday maybe it'll pay off. I just don't have what it takes to make it pay off I guess. Oh well. But I enjoy doing it so it kind of adds to

the routine of the day. Oh it's 676 for my 510. I don't know if I promoted that or not. Let me check that out. I'm doing my overnight now. Yeah, so we were 1,003 feeds from my overnight, so we'll go back in a little while and I will Put in the Session feed in prints I call them and then we'll put a couple marks in and different times at night We'll check it all we'll do all that later on. Let's check, actually let's go to live feed now. And of course this will be something I'll do nightly.

I've got lots of face masks now. Yeah, I have to have a face mask in order to do this. I can't sleep without too much light. I used to sleep in the dark. So this is completely different animal for me now But I can Hey with the mask I could sleep pretty fine And I don't really but I get a little more spooky sleep on the mask cuz you're like blocked off from Once in a while, I'll lift my mask because I think I hear something I freaked myself out so it's just something I decided to do because I had those 12 hours I was like I'm gonna put something in those 12 hours and it's

kind of where I'm at anyway so so we're gonna add I have a session feed imprint template I stick in and I'll go back and actually add some more stuff to it. Alright so that's just working on this let's go to eBay and see what's going on. See if I got any luck with my eBay So I so through eBay I can you do some Promoting in a different way way so we're trying that out it's free advertisement if I can get it to work if I can get it to work so clicking on that but in the end of the day no matter what I do any place it doesn't even know every thing is on for our revenue. I never make any. What a bummer.

Alright so let's go to you bet so be my lifeline It's hoping for more but A couple things Lots of sales up tried to advertise more three sales I had I sent a port replacement decent condition as described as described, but dirty. I think I said it was dirty Yeah, I wasn't like dirty The one time I don't clean a fan all the fan blades on something I get a

Get it's dirty See what my orders are here So we've got oh, the overnight we had a Xbox 360, it's the power brick but it's the one with the notch. So you have to have your own notch cord, I just don't have any. The dreaded SG-54 board, oh good, yeah I have one more of those boards I think I seen it somewhere and Sega Genesis 1601 flaps and screws so three three things there for orders Let's see, let's just check the feedback here. Yeah, metalware, they have metalware on them, there's nothing I can really do about that. Because any place that's exposed to outside air, any sort of component, so you're taking

a Super Nintendo, the cartridge slot, other than the flaps kind of blocking the air a little bit it's exposed Therefore there the cartridge slot itself is usually pretty worn metalware and so and such try to make sure to make sure I Make that there isn't any other things on it, but it's usually just that so Alright, so it's just a few orders overnight let's see if I can do these promotions send some more offers so we'll do those separate and then today oh yeah I'm going to go to IBM 5150 today that's on my mind we'll do that today I'm just doing a couple from uh you can send oh I can send an offer as well five five percent so I'm up to like I don't know 40% off pretty much if you add all the stuff together and still I haven't really done any sales except three all right so let's see what else we got going on here

I'd like to keep 20 minutes going when I can so let's go back to YouTube let's see if we had any more comments oh the hamster mafia has been around so let's see if we had any more comments all the hamster mafia's been around so let's see if they've been hit me with oh yes this guy said it was never now you can filter comments by most relevant or filter yeah I said I need a new mic or something just some advice can barely hear you at all I said I have upgraded sound turn up the volume we'll say the other noise too much other noise I can never win I'm so damn some office came replied again no good they're gone I usually I don't really delete any comments unless they're really off And I usually I'll reply when I can see them, but then after a while

Comments get buried in and I I don't know that somebody replied back to it. So I never get a chance to go back So I try to look breeze through the ones that In a lot of them. I like the ones are there about questions Asking me something if I could fix something. Oh the other thing that I had is somebody that in a lot of them I like the ones where they're about questions asking me something if I could fix something oh the other thing that I had is somebody commented me I have two Toshiba T1000s I could never get them to work but somebody commented me saying that the battery has to be charged in order to for all for it turn on so I'm gonna go back to those I have those I have two of them I bought a second

one usually if I get something local and it doesn't work I'll try to get a second one see if I can make one good one out of the two now if not right away down the road so let's I'm gonna make that a project going on this. I'm gonna bring them up, we'll go through the T1000. I actually have an original box for the T1000. I have a really cool Toshiba T3200 that fully works except for it needs an internal battery as they all do. So it's really big, it's like a luggage size but it's supposed to be a laptop it's pretty neat so you guys always have to start with the original old stuff the

original stuff that's what I did I went back to all the original IBM's and the Toshiba's and things like that all my TRS 80s all my Tandy's so you got to see from the beginning and then you can kind of understand how where computer came computing came from listen for me it seems to work and then it's just like I could never do all this when I was a kid because obviously didn't have AI when I was a kid but now I can do it I'm basically still a kid and I can learn it all now so you learn then or now and now is even better because now. So, you learn then or now. And now is even better because now there's also

whatever was ever made for it is out there, if you can find it, original, upgrades, stuff like that. And then there's also modernization of stuff, Raspberry Pi things and stuff like that. So that makes it 10 times more fun to look at old computer stuff now as compared to when you grow growing up with it at least I think so and I have AI so I can I can actually look at each chip on a board

type it into my buddy Zippy and he'll tell me exactly what that chip is and that is freaking awesome for me to learn All right, so that's a little bit more for the morning, so you guys have a good day, and I will be back on Tomorrow morning, but you can see me 24 7 pretty much on YouTube Oh, and I'm also doing the sec a second live stream for tickiktok overnight as well in the same setup but it just tiktok keeps kicking off it doesn't because i don't have enough things going on in the background so it's kicking off but i am trying to do tiktok as well same view same video i'm putting videos up too now but i haven't been able to get the live feed to stay my live feed for YouTube stays overnight no problem well took me a while to figure it out but I got it to stay but tick tock I'm not sure how long it's staying on for still working on that alright

I'll talk to you guys later alright bye
