Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Sunday 1-26-2024

Episode Date: January 26, 2025

I finally Started Playing Forespoken on PS5 with Plus Subscription.

Good morning everyone. It is now 4.30 in the morning. So, I got up a little bit early. I got a good night's sleep. I usually do. I go to bed at 4.30 at night. I need a good 12 hours to 14 hours of sleep. I kind of cut my day in half. I do lots of stuff on the up and then I sleep a lot. It kind of just works for me. So let's see what I did yesterday.

Yesterday was Saturday. I had some orders I worked on. I didn't list anything yesterday, but today I'm going to list some stuff. Oh, yesterday I worked on, what was I doing yesterday? I can't remember right now. But I know I did PC Engine. I did all that. Oh, I tried to swap my disc out, lens out.

I did swap my lens out. My new lens came in from my PC Engine Duo, but it didn't fix my issue, which many times that happens. Oh, then I was working on PS1s, PS3 actually. I learned a couple days ago that you can play PS1 games on any PS3. Not PS2 though games.

Just PS1 games. So I had a, I kept one PS3 Super Slim for me. And I never really fully tested it and learned that it needed a disk drive. So I went inside and swapped the drive out. So I did that. And then I tested the theory that PS1, yes, does play on PS3, Super Slim. So it will play on any PS3, any PS1 games, I guess, or most of them anyway. But unfortunately, it will not play the Japan ones.

Because technically, a PS3. Was not region locked. PS1, PS2. But once you get the PS3 and PS4. You can play Japan games. As well as. United States games. Because there's some really fun.

Better games like Evil Within. If you get the Biohazard. Version. From Japan. it's a better game. It has different chapters you can jump to. So there's always better features for the Japan games. And most of them usually play

in English anyway, and they're usually cheaper, except for the special editions like that. So, yeah, I learned that about my PS1. I could play the games on the ps3 but not my uh backwards not not my japan ones because i got some fun japan like uh parasite eve one and two and there's a couple other cool things i've never japan games out but i did then i fit i've put

together me at myself a Japan PS1. And the first disc, I mean the first lens assembly, I was able to get it to work. So now I have a fully working PS1 Japan to play my PS1 Japan games. Pretty fun. I also got a PS2 downstairs I need to, which is also Japan.

It's the 15,000 model, which is different than any of the US models. It has what they call a PC card in the back, instead of the hard drive, for the PS2 fat, that is. And I also have a PS2 Slim, a few of them, that are Japan. I'm gonna make one of those too, so I can play some of those games that I haven't seen, that I've never tried before.

So we worked on that and then yeah, I got a new lens in for my PC Engine duo but no luck. But I did learn a lot yesterday while doing the podcast about PC Engines. So today is football.

They're late games. I won't watch either one of them. The teams I want to win will probably not win. So we'll see what happens there. So we'll see what's going to happen here. Oh, the new Samsung s25 is out now i'm sure they're really really expensive i found no difference i had an s20 forever and i had bought it at uh as a wi-fi only and i got it really cheap and i i used it as more of my real first phone when i started doing listings and everything and then just like last year i finally looked for i found a wi-fi only s25 for about half the price

of what they all usually are and that's what i've been using since i use it as a computer like a handheld computer basically and i use it for my listings and all my videos. So S25 I'm sure is really, really expensive, but I'm sure the upgrade is really no big deal. I found no really difference between the S20 and the S25 except for the camera and the video of what I needed. So we'll see what the prices of those are, but I can't get anything like that. I'd like to get one.

Of course, you always want to get the new thing. So, let's see what the world's doing here. It's not going too crazy as I thought it would be by now, but so far it's starting to see signs of a little craziness in our government, but we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. We'll see where it goes. Hopefully it'll go somewhere good though. Oh, and then yesterday I sat down,

I decided to sign up, I've never signed up for, I fired up my PS5, and then I signed up for PS5 Plus, and I finally got to start playing Forsaken. Is that it? Forspoken. Forspoken, is it? It's always been really, really expensive to buy, but I did the mid-plan for the PlayStation Plus,

and I was able to download it as one of the games I can get and it's really fun. I started out, it's really, really cool. I've never played it and it's been out for a few years. I always wanted to get it. It could be my new game. The technology of it is pretty high tech.

This whole sequence in the beginning of it, the whole cinematic from the when you're in the city, up until now I just transferred over into some other fantasy land, rabbit in a rabbit hole kind of thing. So that's where I'm at now. So pretty, I definitely recommend getting that.

I wouldn't want to pay the full price, but it's pretty cool so far. So we'll talk about that a lot now that I just't want to pay the full price but it's pretty cool so far so we'll talk about that a lot now I just started it all right so let's see if my Etsy orders got some orders thank goodness my Etsy's turned around on me oh no it's not oh no it is some orders I sold another Nintendo Super Nintendo buttons the purple buttons I have one more set that's a good shape cool yeah so Super Nintendo I sold since the spacers I could find another spacer but I think I should have one around and then I also sold bottom PS2 slim just talking about that the bottom six

screws and the little screw caps and one's a little onesie two of them are the the pads for the bottom so i sold those so i get little orders here and here on etsy it'll be all worth it which is cool because any anything a little bit helps because again i always live i live by the or each order uh youtube is technically many more orders than I get on Etsy, but Etsy's been a little bit better. So a little bit here and there, everything adds up. Oops. So print these two out. Try to print out orders as soon as they get up because then that generates the payments

that you'll get quicker. So it won't do anything until you print out your orders. So as soon as I get up, when I wake up my store is open here at 4.30 in the morning. I'm already printing orders and doing all that good stuff. Although today is Sunday so I don't need to worry about shipping them out right now. I do want to get all my lists, I get them all printed out. And I try, unless I get a lot of orders. But I will get some of these. Ready to go for tomorrow morning.

So that way. I'm only getting backed up. I have to keep on pace with orders. If I don't. Then I can get backed up really fast. So there's no time where I can not. Just not do any orders. Before I know it. I would have a whole bunch of them and then people would be unhappy they

weren't shipped out so kind of works in my for my routine because it gives me that that it gets me to the routine of having to do something every day you have something to do every day and then it makes life a lot easier. So, it works for me. And it helps me pay the bills. So, I got to do it. It's not like I'm going to... I like to sit and do videos all day,

but it's not really working out. Speaking of videos, let's go to... to oh first we'll go to rss feed i was getting close to 14 000 subscribers i wonder if i made it there yet no i did promote one thing another five bucks but even though there's a little bit just just to get it out there if i don't promote it at all i don, I don't get any views at all. I mean, I get a few, but even all the subscribers, it doesn't really... I think a lot of them are just fake subscribers. I don't think they're real. I had two downloads.

I'm at 317. So, that's my podcast action, which we're doing right now. Do it every morning, and then I do it in the midday. Today we're gonna do PCFX. Get the game library and it's also by NEC, PCFX. There's a short-lived system and all the games are heavily Japan. There's nothing really US about them at all

to try to play them. So we'll look at those today. And there was also some over 18 versions of Japan games. I don't know what they were. I think I had one or two. I never tried them. But there was a couple. There's a few of them

like that. So we'll figure out how many there were of the over 18 ones. So let's go on to ones all right so let's um go on to oh all right so let's check youtube now see if i made it yet it's getting close it's actually really close but it doesn't as we've seen over and over again here the amount of subscribers the amount of videos all of that really has no bearing on monetizing at all. At least not for me. But it's a work in progress.

As is all my stuff. I do just enough to progress but not to. Oh, I made it. Oh, I'm way over too. So now I'm at fourteen thousand one hundred and five subscribers very important And my revenue is thirty three dollars and seventy two cents I just get a laugh about it cuz I got nothing else for it, but keep sharing my stuff

My tubular my silly hat i got some views uh average duration one one uh one minute 53 seconds if i can get average duration about two or three minutes per but their duration even all it's actually going down nine percent went down and my uh my podcast is getting some good hours 2.5k views 66 hours so that's cool i just added this on because it just seemed like the logical next thing to do to add to the YouTube. So I'm a big fan of doing my podcast

especially in the morning. Kind of helps me wake up and I can talk about it. And if anybody wants to see how the process of working an eBay store goes, they can listen for a little while so

I only do for about 20 minutes so let's see what right now all right so there we go so we made that accomplishment so still we keep striving to the next thing 15,000 would be the next one and today we'll do some other videos in this podcast and one other. I've got to list some stuff today on eBay. Speaking of eBay, now we're going on to the... Okay. So let's go on to eBay. Let's see what we've got here's see what we're ready oh very slow i have one thing popping up here and oh yesterday i had another oh it's my second one now i was doing the podcast

podcast cross reference on ebay about uh cool games for the PC Engine CD and some guy had one really cheap and I ordered it. It was an hour, Knucklehead cancelled it on me. And I contacted him, I was like, what is up? It's just, you know, the second one this week that's cancelled an order on me.

The other one was a really good game that would have been fun to get. The Sega CD one. I was like, what? So, second one. Every time I cross-reference and find something that seems a little... That one wasn't that rare, so I wasn't really worried about it

as much. But it was just a point. I was like, and the worst part, and I was like, you didn't even contact me. What's up with that? Of course, I left him five full stars. Because I only share good, positive, five full star feedback. I said, you're lucky. Oh, I bought a Legend of Zelda baseball hat.

I couldn't really find a good floppy one like the Mario one I just got in. But it's green. It's got some color to it. So that'll be my next silly hat. So I got a couple now. I'll look around for something else. I have a Pokemon one, and I have my Mario and my Zelda, and I'll use those for one-on-ones.

When I do one-on-ones, I'll throw on a silly hat just for extra fun. All so yep so just one order and so and then i got all my orders out yesterday i had a pretty good amount of orders yesterday but i have a couple of the z one okay and i have that so this one's a power supply for the PS3 Fat. There's two different power supplies in the original. The Model A or Model B and Model E. One is the ZSSR5391A. Less common, but same.

And it's the one that's all metal. so therefore they get super super hot those those things just overheated inside the ps3 oh okay yeah it's so one of those pretty cool that's it that was my only water for today so we're going to put some I'm going to go back to some more bigger things today on ebay and go from there so you'll see lots of shorts going up

on my youtube I don't call them advertisement shorts, but they kind of are. I use that to put my links to my YouTube, to my eBay store. People see the shorts, maybe they can go back. I sold some things really quick.

I think adding that has helped. It can't hurt. As I always say, I can't put YouTube links on eBay listings, which is a bummer, because then I could really advertise stuff a lot better. Let's see what else we got going on here. All right, so that's it for YouTube.

That's good. The world looks fairly sane right now from when I woke up. Oh, yeah. So I'm looking around for another hat. Oh, there's a cool official Zelda Elf Link cosplay earmuffs that I want to get. That's what I want to get. That'll be silly. But he's in another country, I think.

Yeah. So I'm going to get that, that's on my list, if it's still around, I really want to get that, it's coming from, what country is that, oh, here's one, that's much cheaper, $20, $9, that's Euro, oh. That's European. Yeah, so they're around $20.00. $9.00 to ship it. It's like fuzzy. It's like a fuzzy ear.

It has Zelda on it. That would be cool. And it gives me those little ear cosplay. All right. I can't get it right now but in a few days I'll look around pick one up alright so that looks like my morning here so we'll get on to

some more computer stuff later on today I want to do listening to some stuff that's how the day goes all good positive feedback feedback's been good I wanted to do. Listening to some stuff. That's how the day goes. It's all good positive feedback. Feedback has been good. Nothing of.

Anything negative or neutral. Which is great. I try to make sure. Every order is done correctly. I try to. I make mistakes. Oh yeah. So I also ordered one. Really cheap. I make mistakes. Oh yeah, so I also ordered one really cheap PC Engine CD. Another one.

The first one I ordered, the guy shipped it already. The second one, the guy canceled on me. I just want to retest my PC Engine Duo with the new lens to see if an original game will play on it. The other one is not original. But I'm sure, I remember playing on my white PC Engine Duo.

It's a different model. This is the black one. So we'll find out. It was really cheap. It was like $8, $9 shipped, which I won't even do that anymore. It's too low. Yeah. So. Alright, so that's my morning. I'm't even do that anymore. It's too low. Yeah. So, all right. So that's my morning. I'm going to stick to it and then we're going to, uh, yeah, I'll be back later on. And yeah, I've been doing the second podcast earlier, so we'll do that in a few hours.

All right. Talk to you guys later. All right. Bye.
