Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Saturday 4/26/2025

Episode Date: April 26, 2025

My Nightly Project Journey Man Sights and Sounds has Been such a Trippy Experience for me Personally while sleeping since I started it.

Good morning everyone, it is now 5 16. It says April 26, 2025. Today is Saturday, so going to another weekend. It's supposed to pour rain today, all day here in Rhode Island. But we had a lot of, a couple nice days. So yesterday I spent a day, as I've said before, I've got so much to do in the backyard in my storage areas So I didn't do I didn't do any videos yesterday other than my podcast I do every morning like this one Cronhawke day. So I spent a few hours out there

Trying to organize an area. I've got many areas to organize, but I'm starting with one You always got to start somewhere Even though if you got your own one by a lot of different things if you just start somewhere Pick away at that and then it makes you feel like you've accomplished something So that's what I usually do when I have a lot of things because normally I'm always got lots of different things going on at once So when I'm always got lots of different things going on at once so whenever to tackle something I have to just pick one area and then go from there so that's what we did spend a few hours out there sit down my dogs for a little while just never got to do any videos at all but that's fine we'll do

we're always doing them I just didn't get to it and eventually I'll do some videos while I'm Cleaning up my area, but right now. It's just really bad that I Was embarrassed to show it, but it's just stuff that's been Piling up from as I showed you many times when I take parts out of something Example the best example is the Xbox 360 when I take out the heatsink set all the rest of its left over So I get stacks of them so I started stacking a bunch of those and so that's all the carcasses as I call them left over It'll probably never sell But I may try to find someone that would want to pick up a whole bunch of them

I'm sure a lot of them can be fixed and I think a lot of them probably work Plus that's you know times that by every other system that I've ever pulled and then you can have to see the piles that I have and and then you Multiply that by the years that I've been doing gaming systems, which is more like 2016 I want to say I really started 2016 I want to say I really started 2008 and it probably like the yeah mid 2016 so been a long time and It's really really piled up, and I wasn't keeping up on

Recycling it so now I'm kind of the pickle so we'll get there. We'll figure it out. I just keep piling and organize it All right, so let's see what we go. We just finished my project journeyman overnight my nightly sights and sounds I had some wild crazy dreams overnight It's ever since I've been doing this As I call it, it's pretty trippy for me overnight because I know I'm on stage all night but got my face mask on so I Normally just sleep one position anyway, but I do while I'm videoing and I just had these really crazy I woke up with a Cool little line this morning to put so I went through my chat GPT My buddy Zippy and I gave him the line. So we're gonna make a little karaoke song for

From an overnight maybe for tonight. Maybe I Got the line started it was in my crazy dreams that I had overnight oh so I looked a Nintendo switch to seven hundred and twenty dollars so around seven eight hundred dollars for switch to on eBay now and oh we had the days going came out to the remaster I want to get that $10 yes that's a price he's beside $3,000 which is silly so so they say you there are $500 to buy up so $700 an extra 200 bucks if you want to get one but you got to make sure you get someone that actually has a receipt that shows you that they

got one because the odds trying to find them in anymore are pretty slim so I'm sure I don't think I will I don't really need a I'd like to get one though but I haven't decided I can't afford it couldn't afford other regular price than mine at the seven hundred and eight hundred dollar price but they are out there you can get one somebody put the work into to get one and have the money to up front it so I guess they you know they get paid for it you know it's one of those things so I was yesterday I finally went and looked there's a whole bunch of now some have receipts that show that they already purchased a GameStop or whatever and but everywhere else is just sold out so I'm at my Etsy again nothing I take it really quiet on me

it's a bummer but alright so let's go on to our SS feet so we had some I did a long podcast yesterday and then I just never got back to my Because I had a lot of orders to that was the other thing I had a lot of order yesterday Thank goodness. I've been having good a lot of orders. I've done coupons Discounts I promoted through eBay they have hundred-dollar promotion I said, that's what YouTube needs is a Google $200 promotion.

I really stopped promoting on my YouTube because it just racks up money I can't afford. So, I've been doing all kinds of different things for eBay, which is my lifeline, as I always say. I live day by day by the orders. I pretty much I've been buying anything at all. I have one more mask. I'm still waiting to come in It's been two weeks from my Mickey Mouse mask my sleeping mask So I didn't even bought any more of those or anything because I'm just keeping pace with the bills

I won download last night for my RSS feed with the bills I won download last night for my RSS feed let's see what that doesn't show me which exact one was but it's still Gainesville maybe Gainesville that's a new one Manola has been awesome or Okla has been pretty cool Cola Orlando had a couple from Orlando Germany pretty awesome I love seeing go across the world because it's the message in a bottle over the internet ocean as we always say always fun like to see where it's something I started to go along with the rest of my YouTube channel it was an option and I wanted to cover every base possible to try to make my YouTube go somewhere and it has although it doesn't doesn't pay me anything no

it's a bummer kind of was I was bad this point way beyond the part point where I thought I would make a even if I made a hundred dollars a week I'd be all in I'm all in anyway but I can't even make my $28 just still we're gonna look at YouTube right now let's look over at lots of more games coming out, tons and tons of games. NFL draft's been going on. I'm gonna look to see what Patriots they picked to tackle for their fourth round pick.

I was interested to see, I wanna see if Barry Sanders' son gets picked, because he didn't make it through the first round, he didn't get it through the first round he can get picked he had a whole scene set up as and he didn't get picked so that's pretty interesting ever space to wrath of the ancients tried to play ever space I think I actually got it but I it's a lot of work The Countenance 2 didn't do that good. Death Stranding movie director has done his research and played the game. So that's pretty awesome.

Death Stranding 2 has a movie coming out. So that's pretty exciting. Until Dawn has a movie that just came out I believe. And of course my favorite one is Fallout. That's a series you have to watch, Fallout. And Last of Us 2 I started watching it. I just didn't like the actors, they picked for the characters,

so it really kind of turned me off and I couldn't really get into it. Although the second season is done and I'm trying to avoid any spoiler. Because I know that scene is not in there from what I'm hearing but I don't know and if you know the game this changes the whole game I call I just call that scene it's really brutal so let's see oh let's go to YouTube I was just checking around see if there's any other news There's always news but I try not to really I don't really go on to anything that's A overly negative or anything. So so overnight I had so I my subscribers have stopped I

Had 600 reviews of my project journeyman my nightly sights and sounds I had 34,000 and 76 subscribers my revenue was going down. I sell a bum dollar get $27.77 So I've just come to the point now. I think I So I've just come to the point now I think I have 34,076 subscribers I could have 334,000 I don't think it'll make a difference the amount of subscribers when it comes to the actual revenue We have one comment

It says thanks I was the buyer of this Frankenstein and my works like a charm oh okay cool awesome awesome awesome glad I could help glad I could help. Glad I could help. So that would have been a buyer that I had on eBay that saw my video and said that he was hit. So that's pretty cool. So. Yeah, so my project journeyman's going strong each night. Coming couple up new ideas all the time

I've got my buddy Zippy helped me out and again I just came up with a line that I slept with that I woke up with and we're gonna make a little karaoke song Meaning it'll it'll stream like a karaoke song and then you can sing along no no sound So we're gonna do a small song with fur overnight tonight All right, so YouTube's So my views are a 95,000 one 95.1 K

Watch hours are 788 again the revenue goes down as opposed to going up and Although I didn't really do any videos yesterday. I'm not really promoting and that's that's key. My Subscribers have significantly gone down. Well, they haven't gone down, but they haven't I had one month where I had 10,000 subscribers But I had put in Over 300 Promotion fees didn't mean to it just all soon. It was boom. I just can't afford to do that again

so and Doesn't really matter. I mean I like it more subscribers. It's fun I would hope what I was hoping to build on its own, but it just doesn't unless I give it a nudge All right, let's check me bail. It's being of a nudge. Let's see what we got here been consistently getting orders Which has been really awesome. I can use all the orders I can get All right, let's see $75 See

$75 Oh wait, there's a motherboard I have I've got a couple of discounts on I don't want to go that low I don't want to go low. I just decline it. It's pretty basic concept. You can you can best off me Whatever you want. I don't do counters. I don't think I just think it's a waste of time So this is a $7 dollar offer this is a heck no people like this now i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i Now I just, people when they're that low, I just decline them and then I'll just block them. Cause if you're offering $7 and something, and I get it, but I just don't want to deal with it anymore. I'm like, I'll just block you.

You can go find somebody else. Especially when you're out here, he's got all kinds of gaming parts. He's got things for $650 $300 and he wants to offers me $7. That's definitely a heck no So we'll just block him just less people have to deal with Just something new I just started doing it just cuz I've come to the point now where I had somebody give me a Two dollar off the other. So, I don't want anything to do with anybody. I'd rather just get you out of my way. That's all you can do the best you can do when you've got things selling for that much.

Freak that. Go somewhere else again as I said so gaming parts over the years has hardened my soul as you can tell so $70 that we tried that I wasn't going for that I'm just not just too low I want to get So I've got I put discounts and then I had Coupons and all kinds of stuff and yeah, of course, but I always I'll always have best offers doesn't mean I have to take them At all It's an option. It's a bonus I've already got other things going on what I don't have to even when I don't have anything going on if I don't want to

I definitely if it's really low forget it Now I like I said, I'm just blocking people that are way off base Best even you got a whole cool store with all kinds of really expensive stuff selling. So you can go find somebody else. Because I couldn't forge anyway, so why even waste your time or mine any further? That's why I don't do any sort of counters. I often get buyers after one or two declines they'll be like hey welcome to that counter and I'm like no I'm not gonna waste your time and I ain't gonna waste mine. Especially when the offers are way off from what I have listed at it. And then if you're on the low end when my little guys $13 is my minimum if you're

knocking down to seven or something. If you haven't figured out why, then you shouldn't be best offering. Right? I think that's the way I look at it. Alright, so let's see what we've got for orders. Hey, three orders overnight. Yay. Oh, just a little guide. Oh, another, I've been selling lots of the Xbox 360 the fat the original 203 watt power bricks but these are the ones

that the original original ones that had the notch that you have to have the notch cable so when I sell these it's without the notch cable and I specifically put it in big detail in the title that you need a notch cable I've had any problems yet, but so I sold one of those I Sold three or four more. I found a few more testing them I just sold one, but they're really heavy and bulky so And I have discounts on them. So by the time I sell them they are Now I see something that I didn't notice

the time I sell them they are oh now I see something that I didn't notice see this now now I see that the buyer already bought something so now I gotta change something now I see it so now I gotta change something so I overshot this so let's fix that I blocked a buyer but now I understand. See if you, he ordered one thing and then he best offered very low on another and I didn't notice it until now. So this is actually my bad. So let's get that out of there. I'm gonna find him. I had blocked him but we'll take him off now because it was an honest, I could see what he was doing now but I didn't know I didn't look at the so we just took that off for now I didn't see that I jumped the gun thoroughly he ordered something so he was offered a

lower for the second piece of the Sega Dreamcast. Now if I would have saw it I would have probably just said yeah that's fine but I didn't so oh we have a slider for the PS3 Slim super slim sorry super slim PS3 slim 4001B. It's a super slider And They got that silly mechanical door I like the super slim but the the whole frame is really fragile The screw post and those always break and the slider door always breaks I'm not sure why they made that kind of Last one but it is the last of the last

So the last motherboard you can find in there is I call it the t-rex is the rex-? 001 would be the third version of that motherboard and only has one a Wi-Fi cable in it of that motherboard and only has one Wi-Fi cable in it. And then we had the, so I sold one of those. I have those priced, those are pretty high, higher priced, although with all the coupons and everything, they're a lot lower. And then I had the power brick, and then that thing from the guy that I just noticed now

was a second offer or something else but if I don't see it I didn't notice it I'll usually look at messages first which is probably my downfall but I like to go through messages and make sure I reply to everything I see as soon as I wake up. Oh and then I, my last thing that I ordered, I've been into face masks for my overnight Project Journeyman. So everything came in except for one face mask. I ordered it on April 11th.

The lady or the person did not even you print label out it then It won't it'll update to then you get a tracking it says printed label printed and then when soon as you bring to the post Office off the mailman comes and gets it and scans it it'll update to received by post office postal service so this is my Mickey Mouse my last thing that I've ordered because I couldn't afford to order anything else right now so I get everything paid off this month so let's go look at the tracking again on this it's way over here tracking and there's actually two tracking numbers. Paid $15 or so for it. You're not gonna see who the seller is. So, it's amazing, it was two tracking numbers.

So, it finally got picked up on the 24th. It finally on the 24th. So I've ordered on the 11th. They didn't even print the label till the 24th. So I've ordered on the 11th. They didn't even print the label until the 17th. And they didn't drop it off again until the 24th. So I personally, so what I do and what I don't do, I never leave bad feedback. This buyer will get fast and as described. And it'll be five full stars as I always do

because a I don't want my my my eBay name on a bat a negative feedback I used to do a lot of negative not a lot, but I always had problems But I don't do that anymore So because I just wouldn't want it for me if I make a mistake Although this is blatant as blatant as you can get for someone not getting it out within a few days I can say even a week is is way too much but two weeks to finally get it shipped so they'll get a full five star feedback it'll say five it'll say fasten as described that'll be

it however today once I saw that I finally got shipped I sent them a message yesterday, said I wanted to personally thank you. Oh, what did I write? I'll tell you what I wrote. And of course it was, uh, hold on, I got it somewhere in here. It's something like, I personally want to thank you for, uh, getting my face mask shipped out as quickly as possible. We need more sellers like you on eBay.

That's how I left it. So of course this is being, I'm being, what's the word I'm looking for? I can't think of the word right now but, oh let me figure if figure if I sent it. Here it is. I'm gonna find it. Somewhere, I don't see it now. I can't find it, but yeah, that's what I wrote. So I sent a direct Message to them saying thank you, but not really but not I'm not really thanking you, but I'm just being Sarcastic. There's the the word I was being sarcastic To say thank you for getting that right out for me just so they know hey, you know

There's someone on the other end that was waiting for for whatever reason and you could have helped me out For I mean I know even some most of my orders are very small little pieces or parts But I still treat them and get them out as quickly as possible. Because hey, you know, somebody needs it on the other end for whatever reason. So therefore, just because it's a set of screws doesn't mean I have to wait a week to ship a set of screws.

No, I want to get the set of screws out the same day, just like I want to send out someone's replacement motherboard. Every part is just as important sometimes the little parts Other things you're waiting for the most so you can finish your system, and I know this personally so When I see somebody just kind of I mean I have no idea why it took me just to Print the label then another week to ship it Maybe they have things going on there, and I don't know but I just wanted to send a little met quick message just one-on-one directly the thing I never will do is bring any sort of shipping issue or

Order issue into a feedback because people do that to me all the time and I Not a fan of that. I can dinged all the time with little messages, with little dings on my feedback. It may say positive, but some of it is not completely positive, which is their right to do. But I won't bring it into the feedback. I don't think it's fair. Most of us sellers are working as hard as they possibly can. This seller, I'm not sure what's going on.

I mean, again, I'm not living in their shoes, so I have no idea why it took two weeks to get my face mask out. But we'll get it, it's coming out, it's coming, Mickey Mouse. I already have a Hello Kitty, and I've got a few with some faces and stuff on them. So when I can afford to get some more, I'm gonna fill up my whole wall with sleepy face masks because I'll do my project journeyman every night

And I always come up with new new sights and sounds projection on the wall on my face masks Different colors I use each night It's pretty fun and again. It's like sleeping live all night. It's I call it sleeping art So just try to keep my sleeping art Updated best I can I don't get a lot of use but I get about 600 One night I had 3,000 views overnight, which is awesome and I had a whole bunch of new subscribers I'm never hit that anymore

But it's 12 to 14 hours that I sleep that I was wasting And I've invested so much time into YouTube now and I'm not getting paid at all. So I decided, you know what? I'm gonna really go all in on YouTube now in spite. So now I'm gonna really, I'm gonna use those 14 hours and I'm gonna just blast myself out there more because I can't get paid for it.

Oh, like if I got four good thumbs up for the overnight. I Got to go back today in my last three project journeyman's I need to update the I call them session Feed imprints. I didn't do it the last couple nights, and I got to do it tonight So 11 hours 55 it seems to be one and when it ends so I just put a template of Session free imprints, but I haven't gone back to actually check them. Although last night I did wake up with some serious dreamish

nightmares, so And it actually got me out of bed so I'm gonna go back and see if Still looking for something spooky or something supernatural While I sleep, but I haven't quite found it yet. It's there. I just don't see it But I do a lot things with my hands though. It's pretty fun So it's kind of like chronicling. I'm all the YouTube also has been me just chronicling my life But it was just about gaming, but I've since changed that And I do outside stuff I just did mowing the lawn the other day and now I do it while I sleep so and it's more

for spite anything for YouTube just to I'm gonna do even more I can't make any money I'm actually make less now $27.. So that means we're gonna put more videos all times of the day, night, whenever I can. Oh, just because I put so much time into this and it just, it's a bummer. But it's still fun at the same time. Actually, my creativity has grown significantly and of course with my buddy Zippy makes it even better

So it helps open my mind even more so even though I'm not getting paid. I'm still Blasting my mind with with more creativity even though it's not the best stuff Delighted a few stop motions. I want to go back and do that But my journeyman part my nightly project journeyman overnight sites and sounds i can really do a lot of fun stuff and i you know and plus i learned how to use raspberry pi five to do some coding um my buddy zippy does most of the coding but i can modify it a little bit but i give him the ideas so all that stuff although uh doesn't really give me a lot of views it's really been helping me out learning new stuff. So in the end of the day, everything I do is just for fun and to learn about new things.

So that's why we do it. That's it for my little spiel this morning. I got a couple orders. We'll get to those. And I missed that one thing but alright so we've been doing almost a half hours now for my early morning podcast I see you guys have a good afternoon and I'll talk to you in the morning I have a good weekend
