Episode Date: June 14, 2025

We Have Yet another Rainy Saturday.

Good morning, everyone. It is now 557 today's Saturday is June 14th 2025 another month that's just flying by Today's kind of a rainy day a little bit every Saturday for seven or eight weeks. We've had some sort of rain. So But was yeah, it was really nice out yesterday yesterday we did oh I worked in my closet so where my gaming workbench is beyond that is a closet so well actually a walk-in closet it's pretty big closet and I spent most of the day reorganizing that out I I pushed my big long, I have a curved TV, I pushed it way out

and now it's kind of blocking the closet but in order to do that I need a little more board at the end and I took out some cabinets and moved around a lot of stuff. My PS4 GameStop PS4 GameStop Death Stranding kiosk is back there so we had to move that around kept it together I have all the pieces for it and speaking about death stranding we're getting down there to I think 10 days they put down to 10 days when the game comes out so I'm gonna start a countdown starting today maybe I'll see if the game will I might pre-order it and maybe we'll come out a little bit earlier so we'll see I'll check on that but we're definitely gonna get that it's a little pricey I'm just gonna get the cheapest version I don't need it I don't need all the other who-how that comes

with it I just want the game itself and then we'll just go from there See what happens alright, so let's see and then yesterday. Oh, I did I pulled out my Vintage computers my laptop to Shiba laptops from earlier to the old T. Shiba I got a cool brand a satellite Pro 430 CDT so we're working on that. I have a second one that works and it's got Windows 95 And I'm really excited about so now I have one that's Windows 98 and Windows 195 So that I can compare games to see if each one plays Specifically and I had a memory upgrade for both of those Each brings it up to 48k which is pretty awesome compared to only

the six it starts with so it should be enough to play all the games that I have so but I still need to test two other lenses two other screen assemblies because I had four of these total two motherboards are taken out and then I guess if I can fix one more. Maybe it's the power supply, I gotta go back and look. So lots of fun stuff with those. And I got four, like I said, to have more than one of something makes a lot better.

Especially when each one's a different issue. And then that's even easier than to kind of like swap things around and eventually kind of figure it out. I don't know electronics. I don't know how to test things. I mean, I could learn, but I just don't. But I can troubleshoot the heck out of stuff. So if I get more than one then we can swap things around. So we're all excited about that. So that's how I ended my day. The disk drive's not working but I've got two other disk drives. We'll figure that out.

Two of them are not closing. I'm not sure why but I was hoping my windows 95 disk that I thought I had Was in one of those but it's not We're gonna invest in one. I have a whole sealed Windows 95 diskettes Floppies, but I don't have a disk All right, so let's see what's going on this morning It's kind of a bit chilly out there so you've seen a lot of Resident Evil Rectum now, which is Resident Evil 9.

7 and 8 I've played and completed. So this is like some, I already destroyed some jets. I don't know if jets uh... talk about war but it's a lot of it going on it's only get worse can be the mortal shell too i have a game and i would play it was really really hard and some is really hard and i just can't get anywhere and i just give up that's

it and please just goes into my Outer Worlds 2. I can't remember if I ever played Outer Worlds. Let's see what's going on. Lots of good games. I mean the the mini games just gonna go get even get more and more great as they go forward that looks like a cool game the expansion on RS reborn so 2026 or so alright so let's see what else is going on. So let's start my morning here.

Parchmark. Again, I haven't really done anything else with it. Just those 20-somethings. And then I really messed up on my Etsy. I had that big order. I would have loved to have it, but I already sold it. That's the only thing about cross-listing is if you put something somewhere from another place and you sell it there you

gotta make sure you take it off and I forgot there's a big order so I'm gonna find out right now whether that buyer slammed me with that because I had to give his money back I had no choice as soon as I realized he ordered it I left him a message first saying sorry I don't have it I sold it. Most of the things I have on Etsy are just little guys. It was an untested tube I had for Apple Macintosh Color Classic. It was a Sony Trinitron tube which was worth a little bit I didn't sell it for that much that he bought it for here and I'd see and it was to try to ship it was a real nightmare but I never heard back either

way on it the buyer never on it from eBay never left me any sort of feedback or I never had an issue and there is a video of me packing that thing that you that was a nightmare I did the best I could found the biggest box I could everything I could possibly do so Let's see what's going on that see so let's see I just said that one sale. It's pretty much like it's one sale per week I Should put some more stuff on it too, which I probably will. So let's go to RSS. Let's check out my podcast. So rss.com. We're up to 324 podcasts I've done now.

So I've done a lot of them. Two downloads. Cool. I'm at 80 in the last 30 days. So staying consistent. So of course I'm always in existence and thank you for Lindell and Ashburn always always there for me Toronto we've had a lot downloads from Toronto too it's pretty awesome

besides that it's pretty quiet it's my message in a bottle over the Internet Ocean so I like to see comparisons so we just keep plugging away at it. I do this every day. It's part of my routine. Alright, so let's... Let's go to YouTube. We've been losing... We've been losing subscribers. That was my goal. Not really the goal, We've been losing subscribers.

That was my goal. Not really the goal, but to see what happens when I just stopped. I stopped all promotions. We got to 46,655. That was my peak. Now I'm at 46,603 So we're still within the 600, but we've lost 50 something 52 subscribers Nope, that means I

don't know if I gained any and then I lost some and Yesterday was my rebuild a Toshiba satellite Pro 430 That was a fun little video. I've been been doing little close-up views boot up Cyrus Crashers, let's see if we get some new comments here boot up Yeah, I will have to try that I will have To try that must be a game. I think cry us up try that must be a game I think cryus I'll try that boot up side Kyrus it's a different one of it's a game what that is I'll have to try that so yo windows 10 change

of a closet I see people in Spanish so let's do Spanish to English is a common here Spanish to English. Let's do that. I Don't know what it means So let's go to Spanish to English Okay, I can't help you I don't speak Spanish so if you send me Enter text So let's yes, it's possible that Windows 10 can be installed graphics can be changed Copy

So then what I do now, so what I do if I see a comment in any other language I will reply In English so then somebody else who doesn't want to translate they don't have to. It says yes it is possible that Windows 10 can be installed and its graphics can be changed. This was a closet of Sega Saturn. Not sure why the comment was there but and then this guy well I see you That's and then we're talking about that we going on back and forth about a we model 10 Because of the oh let me ask... let me look here... so my view hours are at 134.2K

and my watch hours are down to 738.2 but the key thing always is I made 58 cents since yesterday. That's pretty crazy. $34.54 and all my flash is I've made 58 cents since yesterday. That's pretty crazy. $34.54. And all my flash, I do flash 15 seconds now. So I get a lot more views that way. So every short video, if I do a minute,

I also first do a 15 second flash, and then the minute, whatever the video is. And then sometimes I'll do a three minute but I also do now I also flash all my long videos and I do a three a quick three minute too so I'm trying to compensate for not paying for uh promotions and trying different different way and so it's not getting me any more uh subscribers but and it it's not getting me any more subscribers, but it's really not getting me any more views either. So it's not really helping, but it's just a different approach. So you got to keep mixing it up.

So they only had 21 views for my rebuild. Whereas if I would have done, let's say 27 on this one, but if I would have done promotion even for five dollars It would have been probably in the hundreds, but we're not doing that Maybe next month, but I really I just I'm kind of tapped out of doing that Alright, let's go to eBay which has been pretty steady Let's see what we got here going on. So this is where my day really gets going. Oh, we only have two things going on,

so we're not really going too far. Offer, oh, motherboard. Okay, I see a Nintendo Wii motherboard. Let's see if we had any more. Let's look at the feedback, because I was stuck with that neutral one. Besides that, cool, we got some good stuff going on here. So let's look at my feedback. I always look forward to anything that's positive.

Fast shipping, I am as described, exactly as described, very happy with purchase. Great seller, great communication, ordered ship quickly, and arrived in good condition on-side metal that's these are all n64 stuff great cell easy to communicate with orders quickly that's pretty awesome great cell easy to communicate with orders quickly vanilla great seller same autumn so it's pretty much all the, these are the same Wavebirds, Nintendo Gamecube Wavebirds. Thanks, exactly as described, well packed, and ship time was great. So that was the Wavebird I had. It's a Nintendo Gamecube, the wireless controller, it was called a Wavebird. But it required a dongle, which is a funny word. I think dongle is just like one of the funniest words ever.

But I sold the dongle. I only had two. I sold those separate a while ago. But I still had eight wave birds. So without a dongle you can't do anything with it. But I finally sold those. So that's pretty awesome. And I only have one order.

I think I just have one order. Which is fine. I've got plenty of things I can do. I like to have orders all the time, but yesterday had pretty consistent on orders. So we have a Nintendo Wii 40 board. I have two more of those left. And we're gonna ship that one out what else I think I had an offer offer 24 dollars in a Nintendo Gamecube lets see what that is

2 times 12 yeah I'll do that, that's alright these are the Nintendo GameCube the front ports covers and then the flaps so it's for two so I don't mind doing it for two because then like the shipping cost is already recovered So we're on Saturday or so. Cool. cool alright, let's see what time we're at 15 minutes, we'll do an early, quicker

we'll just keep looking around and see if I missed anything this morning, it needs to be done so just one order or two orders at two orders now okay that's cool and my YouTube is pretty cool so today we're gonna I really gotta do Sega Saturn but first we're gonna look at I'm gonna double back to that ps3 fat that I have it's the model a that fully works. I want to test those out of disk drives. But I also have some more. I need to retest some cartridge slots on the Super Fancom. I found a couple Super Nintendo, another Super Nintendo power supply. I'm going to test that. I sold one of those. So I still have the Super Nintendo motherboard.

Oh, and I found another sound box. So I have two sound boxes, one's listed. So we'll probably look at those first. Oh, and then I also have Hyperkin Retron 5. Those are cool. I have two of them, both of the there's a teeny little motherboard inside and the motherboard each one of those works it was a cartridge slot on one of them that didn't work for whatever I think the clip

was broken or something so therefore made the the Retron 5 and it keep giving an error and that's why. But the cartridge slot itself, all the slots are good, so I'm going to sell that as parts because somebody can pull that cartridge slot off and put it on theirs because usually the Super Nintendo is the one that gets worn out from being just really the only one they use. But remember Super Nintendo and Super Famicom are the same game. You just gotta get rid of the cartridge slot and then you can play either or. Just like N64. Very important to know that. So you don't need to run out and have to get one or the other if you have either game. Just get one and then just pull the top off and play them like that. That's

all you have to do. Or you can modify it in a way that the card stock is not blocking the game. So let's see what else we got going on here. I think that's pretty much it for this morning. Again I haven't done any sales yet on Parchmog. I may never get a sale. Who knows. But I like that I've got 925 followers now so today or tomorrow no definitely today I will list I have 28 listings so far at Parchmark I'm gonna add at least should get up to about a hundred especially if I'm getting followers that quickly but so that would some of them I've got four things tagged as as little hearts there I've got a you know plus I also I can also probably list some clothes stuff that I may have

So Parchmark I think long term will be a good investment. It doesn't cost me anything to be here So that's not bad. So like Etsy it does cost me to be there It's 20 cents per listing. So I have a hundred and some listings right now 146 listings So you times that by 20 cents and every few months you get hit with that so that That does cost so not me only get one order Per week if I'm lucky and that's he's not

really good thing bar schmuck is new and so doesn't matter but just be good I'm glad I did it because now I can see where I can use it if not just more another social media followers kind of thing just like tick to TikTok and things like that. YouTube, all of them are just little mirrors trying to bounce back to the store, to a store, or all my stores actually. They're all pretty much the same stuff in each store but you may, some people just purchase through Etsy instead of eBay for whatever reason. So we got the two orders now. Those will be real easy to do. I was hunting down a motherboard for the PS3 Slim yesterday. The KTE-001 which is the 3000 model. I couldn't find

a second one anywhere. I sold two for parts. Okay, remember motherboards sell for parts just as much as they sell for fully working. Because people take chips off them, they use them for dough. I call them defective donor. So if you have a broken one, you always want to sell those too. I sold every single one of my PS3 broken motherboards except for the first model, the 2001. That's the DYN-001 but I couldn't find the KTE-001 yesterday anywhere the second one so I contacted the buyer I found out a 2101

which uses a SUR-001 motherboard and he took that one instead so I still was able to get him out two orders two boards that didn't work, but it wasn't two of the same. And they want the chips that are on those. So I don't know if that's a problem or not, but I don't really do board work. And I definitely am not taking chips off. I'd like to learn, but just never can just get to it. All right, so now I think we're ready. That's it, two offers here. Let's see, so just kind of breezing through. So we still have a sale going on, that will be on for till tomorrow,

and then we'll do another sale. We'll always have sales. It helps a lot. So, again, as I always say, always said just pretty much every day the sales on eBay is how we survive Someday I'll make another hundred dollars in Etsy. I mean on YouTube getting there almost there We'll talk about it. I'm not gonna go outside or anything today. Oh I have a spring I sold yesterday too, a Nintendo spring. For the Nintendo GameCube, the top cover, there's one spring and the silver and the orange but you can also put the spring in the other two buttons and then you can boost it up so it gets a little bit firmer and it's original so that's pretty cool. So always stuff that you can

get and you I learn all the stuff as I go here. I've learned so much in the last eight years. It's pretty crazy. Alright so we're gonna now we're at normal time. So you guys have a good afternoon and we'll see you tomorrow on Sunday. Alright bye.
