Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Monday 6/16/2025

Episode Date: June 16, 2025

I did Videos with Nintendo SNES, Famicom, Super Famicom, & N64 on Sunday.

Good morning everyone it is late this morning. It is seven o'clock. Well 748. It's almost eight o'clock actually I've been really into watching movies at nighttime before I go to bed. I stay I step now. It's like six or seven and it's Been cooler, which has been nice, but I see in the forecast We have a 96 degree weather coming up on next week So it's gonna be really hot and muggy. Therefore, another reason why I stay up a little bit. My little area where my loft bed is,

or bunk bed, or whatever you wanna call it, is all the heat goes right in that spot. But luckily I have my fan air-conditioning right behind me there, so I can use that to cool off. I normally don't leave air-conditioning on at night, just the fan, but I'll turn it on just to cool off I normally don't leave air conditioning on at night just a fan but I'll turn it on just to cool that corner before we go into bed and then I'll turn it down to fan because I don't want to blow an air conditioning on top of me. I have it cornered so it blows to the side so it's not right

on the bed. I just happened to put that air conditioning right there I wish I would have put it in a different place but that's where it ended up going so and a lot better obviously came later. I wasn't thinking about that at the time. So yesterday we um did some fun stuff. I did lots of videos yesterday. We did um we did a few different things. I'm trying to think what did oh we did Nintendo Super fancom and fancom super Nintendo, so we did lots of cool videos. I found some modded fancom That we videoed a little bit and two out of the three Modded mean they have the HDMI. I mean I see my audio video cable to it

Whereas a normal Famicicon only has just RF and two of the three that I have work which is pretty awesome. I rebuilt one for now just to keep and I'll sell the other two. One has a cool chip to it on board that replaced the PPU chip but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure why. But that'll be a fun one to sell. As defective. Somebody will fix it. Whatever reason, whatever is wrong with it. Oh and yesterday also I sold something where it was a local pickup. It's for the IBM 5155.

I got it local and it came in a soft case and I've had the soft case forever and I wanted a lot more before it because to find a soft case for an IBM 5155 was pretty hard. But I've been holding off. I've been declining offers for about a year or so. And finally I always wait for when I think maybe this could benefit me and I found it And this guy has somebody local here in westerly where I live that could pick it up. So I took a little offer Plus I was hoping and thinking he might be able to help me fix mine because I have an IBM 5155 that has no power

so I have an IBM 5155 that has no power. So according to the person that picked it up, sounds like his stepfather, the guy is really smart and he messaged me a few times and is willing to help me try to fix mine. So I'm really excited about that. Plus I also have an extra power supply, but I'm not sure even if it's the power supply problem. So maybe I can hopefully get him some kind of deal where he can help me fix mine and then I give him the extra power supply which you can easily fix if you're really smart and you could resell that make a lot of money so either way I'll have something so it's really exciting that I found connection

that's he's in Massachusetts but he has family here in West early where I live so with the odds of that and he wanted something from a 51 55 so finally He's in Massachusetts, but he has family here in West L.A. where I live. So with the odds of that, and he wanted something from a $51.55. So it finally fit what I was looking for. That's why I hold off on a lot of things. I just don't give things away. Especially if they're harder to find. Any vintage gaming, I mean vintage computing is really expensive to buy.

I know because I purchased a lot of stuff It monitors things like that are really really expensive to get original so so that was exciting I'm really excited about that guys his stepfather came picked it up yesterday late day and When you check on see if there's any more messages He said maybe in a couple weeks he'd be in the area and maybe actually have him come over and see if he can help me fix it. That would be really cool. And of course I get all the money to pay for it but I can always find stuff to give him.

If he's a computer guy I'm sure he's got, I've got two IBM 5150s motherboards that don't work. That could be a good trade right there. So lots of stuff. Alright so let me see what's going on this morning Hope they found that they caught that guy And they captured that guy there it's just so much crazy stuff going on Pakistan's kind of worried about there's all kinds of

always said it's gonna start out in the Middle East and it's all right. Well, it's been going on but now it's really going on It's about as much I'm gonna say on that Another billionaire died at 92. I didn't realize Murdoch lived to be 102 and He wanted to be he wanted to live to be 125 which is I don't think it's theoretically possible for a human being to live that long but he lived to be 102 all that money he can't take it with you so wonder what happens I'm excited to think that there's another step after this so good thing it's time for him to move on to couldn't if I wanted to be 102 some days

I think I could live to be 102 as a day's lucky if I make it to 60 So I feel something Overall music health is pretty good. I hardly ever get sick or anything, but never know it's time each time Then we'll move on to something new and fun All right, so we're not seeing anything. Well. I've seen lots of things that are doom and gloom in the world But we don't talk about that All right, let's go to Parchmark Nothing sold that I'm aware of

I don't really see a place where it say you sold something I have 942 followers, so I think I've gone down now Nowhere do I see anywhere where it says I sold anything. My offers, my likes. So we'll leave it at that. So it's still just a social media thing. Become a Posh Ambassador. But I have to sell stuff first before I can do any of that.

So there's another thing there. So let's go look at Etsy here this morning. Let's see, nothing going on there. I had that really big order. I had to refund the guy. Somewhere that's gonna come back and bite me. Hopefully he won't take too much. I just forgot I had it cross listed from eBay and I forgot

to take it down when I sold on eBay I would have sold it for much more on Etsy but I didn't have it so I had to refund them Alright, so, let's see... We're gonna go on to Etsy. Oh, let's go to my RSS feed here this morning. Try to stay on track. Makaria was gonna start it, but I just haven't gotten to it. I have to do something. Oh, I gotta sign up for an app and then somewhere in there I can register to verify my name that is all right so

let's see we had yesterday we had one download 82 and last I've had 633 so far since I started podcasts which is a three four months maybe more than that now oh at five from Toronto the last seven days Ashburn always Lindale always always great to see them and Manhattan Beach is another one Nothing on the world and the other part of the world though I was really doing all kinds of fun stuff in the other part of the world, but I haven't seen it quite some time now But it's always out there my message in a bottle over the internet ocean wherever it may go never know it's gonna go and it's on like Apple podcast again this is another

thing where I don't make any money doing it it's just another addition that I added to my YouTube Dune Awakening is out but I didn't realize it's only on stream and I'm not really signing up for stream. I don't play games that often. However, we're on countdown day 8 for Death Stranding 2. We'll do another video, just a short one. So we're gonna do a countdown every day until the game plays. And I've never done that before but we're doing that. And of course I do flash 15 second videos, shorts, and then I do the quick 3 minute or

1 minute videos just to rack up some extra views. So let's go to YouTube while we're talking about that. That is next on my helmet set. Oh, she's got I see crush he's climbing to all right, so let's see All right, so we continue to go down on subscribers remember we were at forty six thousand six hundred fifty five That was my peak from all the promotions. I had done in the last few months this month We haven't done any promotions, which I would love to do a lot of promotions, but I stopped it so now. I'm at 46,000

580 so I've gone down you know 20 55 65 75 But I may have gained some along the way and then lost some too So I don't know I wouldn't know that exactly which ones they are Let's look at some Let's see if we can add subscribers I haven't done that a little bit So we subscribe to anybody that subscribes to me. So yes, this is a new new phase. I'm in

It's just trying to see what else I can do other than paying for promotions, which is great. I don't mind doing it. I can't afford it, but I was really almost $300 last month. But it significantly has ticked me up. But if having all these subscribers as I said Were to help me out and that is the estimated revenue which I'm at thirty five dollars and six cents So I made some change overnight But that's about it zero to fifty cents if that every once in a while pretty much All my flash 15 seconds have the most views 2.9k which is significant so but my long videos I have 36 views now we own and then we did n64 yesterday

too that's right the controllers I have a bunch of tremor packs memory cards even got more I get a lot more memory cards so we did some lots of fun N64 so I did three different kinds of Nintendo stuff yesterday was pretty cool each video only because I'm again not promoting even if I promote for five bucks but I I've determined that this month I'm not doing it at all maybe next month I'll throw a couple few to five dollars I'll throw a couple few dollars, five dollars. Yeah, N64 yesterday. So pretty fun.

So I always mix it up. I don't want to keep doing the same thing. So today we'll do something completely different. Sega Genesis I need to get to. So we'll go onto Sega Genesis because I have a board, which is the model 1631, model 2. There are many different motherboard models but there is a VA 2.3 which has a specific Yamaha sound chip on it that a buyer wants and I found a second it's the only one of all the boards so on the 1631 there's the VA 0, VA 1, there's a VA 2 and there's the VA 2.3

oh there's also VA 1.8 that's the dreaded 1.8 and then there's the VA 3 which is preferred in VA 4 is the last but the 2.3 is the only one that has that Yamaha chip on it and for some reason he has somebody that wants those chips So so we're gonna do my Death Stranding countdown Quick video and then we will Go on to some Sega stuff later on today. Let's but let's check out eBay Let's see what eBay is gonna bring me today. Been quiet, quiet weekend but I sold a few things here and there and yesterday we did a local pickup. I know

we don't do it but I took the low offer with consideration that it was a local pickup and it also got me maybe somebody to help me out. Let's see what this we white I'm missing this only for my Wii yeah I have to do that so it's just a Wii little panel side panel I can do those I got tons of those that makes sense I'll make a few bucks I say I'm not doing anymore ten dollars but and with change but I do it anyway ten dollars and thirty five cents so everything is the lowest I have is thirteen dollars but I do have discounts too so

it is what it is he just needs one side little white panel I'm not gonna decline that that would be silly for me to do that. Just to make it some extra few change. Good condition, match photos and described. That was one of the controllers, I had two controllers, the pro controllers that I sold spindle, used accessory, replaced spindle on childhood game cube, which is pretty awesome. So that's good. I like things that are good and positive. So I took that one.

Oh then we had an offer here. I mean we have a... let's see this is a question. Whoa. Hi is it possible to bundle these items along with some others? I want to work a deal to get some 360 parts that you need from you for some build with him following additional items so he wants to do a... sure I can do that let's see what he's got wow he's got lots of stuff here. Polygons for the long list of... okay okay okay okay let me work on that. Let me work on a exact bulk order with everything you need. I can show you all included with pictures and of course pictures and of course and of course again videos so we'll do a little video anything I can video to put on YouTube it's different, that's buyer related, I will do

it. And then of course now we're going to give him a link to my YouTube page. Because every person I can add to my YouTube, I will. So if somebody asks me for something specific that's, this is going to take a quite a, I can say yes, I can do that. And I can also show you my YouTube page where I'll make a video of putting all your stuff together. Right?

So that makes me a new video, helps the buyer out, helps me out. The wall of text. So these are all Xbox 360s, 1439 to Xbox 360 black joint, oh he wants the joint, task serial, I think I have that, 360 fat, serial ports, so all stuff easily I can do, easy peasy. It's just all 360 and it's a bulk listing. So I'll have to make something and make it fair, right? Because technically, yeah, it's a bulk listing so I'll have to make something and make it fair right because technically yeah it's a really only thing it's harder to find would be that joint task which is a specific black Xbox 360 fat that was made

I think it's for I'm not sure what it was for it was a custom-made one it's kind of ugly looking but the best one is the green halo 3. I have those pieces too still. So let's see what else we got. So we have two orders and then we're quiet weekend. I actually got my orders done yesterday so I'm not really doing many orders today. I just got to do just the two that I just that are that came in plus I can work on getting that guy's order put together which is awesome so I'll do that for him and we'll make a video of course. Alright so let's see what else is going on here this morning. So we'll go a little bit longer today, so I don't see anything else that is...

Everything has been pretty positive last month. I mean I've had a few little things here and there, but it's gonna happen. I just can't be perfect. I try. I come close. That's all I can do. Right? If you go... if you're trying to do as much as you possibly can do, and you just keep doing you every day, that's all you can do. Just do you. That's what I do.

I just do me the best I can, but not perfect. Try to mix things up as much as possible. Have fun stuff to share where I can, which we always do so yeah, oh my Since I got rid of Promotions and I went to flash 15 seconds. It's flipped where I get a lot more views and 147.7 K views so they've gone up significantly But my watch hours are going down, but they've always been down anyway, and my average duration is only 33 seconds and at 36 so it's kicked up some videos are like my average duration left for a long video is almost four minutes so in that time there should be some commercials that should pay something but it doesn't like I have max I'm a big

fan of Apple TV. I changed over to No, not a prime prime I got rid of the commercials, but I still have it on max commercials and they get I get commercials like watching a Series now I found two cool series of the head Hardly suggest it. It's kind of like it's that's not like the thing you've seen the movie thing out in Antarctica It's kind of like that, but I don't think is any actual creatures I think it's just a back of terrier or some kind so the head I started watching which is pretty awesome and The doc matters I believe the other one's cool his doc matters or something like that

And but this commercial is like every other minute It's really I gotta get the commercials off of that because they can't really sit there watch it It takes it half the time. There's only a few dollars more to get rid of the commercials So we're gonna do that for max today Come big fan of max. Oh peacemaker 2 is coming out in August. There's a guy you gotta watch peacemaker She's watch the it's just crazy and silly and and graphic For but it's a superhero crazy series graphic. You gotta must watch that.

So I put that on your list of things to see on Macs. And I'm a big fan of Apple TV. Lots of really cool shows. I mean I have Netflix, but I haven't even watched it because there's a million things on Netflix. There's really not that many good things on Netflix. Apple TV, Prime, and Macs don't have as much stuff, but they have really good stuff. And I just started a couple of

new series, so. Pretty fun, but the commercials, I gotta get those. So my point was that my videos, the commercials come on, and that usually just kicks people off. They see the commercial and then they stop, and then that's it. So being monetized has a double-edged sword to it. Whereas you want to make money but you can only make money through commercials and they're just not on long enough, they don't start in the beginning or something. They're like mid-frame and most people don't stay on my videos that long so therefore I stick, I get stuck with the $35.06 after four months but it's just one of those things we just at some point just realize this is it this is the best it's gonna get and there's

really no other way to do it I can think of but we just keep plugging away maybe more AI interaction with some stuff it's supposed to be tagging stuff with AI now so if you were selling something or talking about something it gets tagged more AI interaction with some stuff. It's supposed to be tagging stuff with AI now. So if you are selling something or talking about something it gets tagged and then maybe you can make money that way but I really don't do anything like that. Mostly that's beauty products. You get a beauty product and then you put it on your face and talk about it and do all that whoo-wow and then somehow you get revenue from that it's called the affiliate revenue I've never gotten any so there's ways the other revenue I just

don't have to find something and sit and talk about it and you get these companies where you can pick stuff but then you have to actually buy it and you have to have it in order to do it and to me it's just really all beauty related it's not much else stuff so I can get something and put it on my face and talk about it I do have some t-shirts though and some others my French Friday Freddy and the other hot news that's my cartoon I haven't gotten back to in a while and I did some inspirational t- logos, but gaming related But that's when I wasn't really spelling

Spelling correctly on an image, so I haven't gone back to try try some new ones we will All right, so I'll say get this morning It's Monday So everyone have a good work week, and we're gonna get to the really hot weather now here in Rhode Island We've been really lucky without it, but it's coming all right, so you guys have a good work week and we're gonna get to the really hot weather now here in Rhode Island. We've been really lucky without it but it's coming. Alright so you guys have a good day and I will talk to you tomorrow. Bye.
