Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Sunday 1/19/2025

Episode Date: January 19, 2025

Long Weekend to do some fun projects.

Good morning everyone. It is almost 5 o'clock, 4.52 to be exact. So I got up a little bit earlier. I went to bed early, my normal time, 4.30 I think I went to bed. Which is great for me. Get a good night's sleep and then I'm up and ready to go for the next day here. So yesterday was Saturday. I had a few orders. it took me a little bit to do those. And then we worked on my Tandy 200 laptop. I think it works, it just needs a power button of some kind. And then I also worked on my two original TRS-80 26-101, the 16K, each one has something fun inside of them. So those are upgraded.

Although the monitor, I have a flicker issue, and I can't seem to get it to get in, so I can't really see how those two systems work yet. I tried some alternative cable connections, but that didn't seem to do it. So that's why i'm out on those and then oh yeah i pulled up i think it's called the informer it's a little mini computer system and somebody from youtube uh told me that it's was a data connection to a mainframe

so i listed that yesterday that's pretty neat i like that it works it just comes up to a screen that i've never seen to me it looked like it was something for like the stock market or something it was something it's a terminal is what it is it's a terminal that you use to plug into back then a mainframe uh for ibm and i feel the other one he said was IBM and there was another one digital IBM or digital so some sort of a uh like a like a like a mini plug-in so that you could access other information I believe so I listed that and I also listed something for my IBM 5155. Which is the big IBM portable. And I also. That's pretty much it.

My day. I was doing some other stuff. So we're going to go double back. To some things. Later today. And then it's a long holiday weekend. So therefore we're going into. So say Sunday. So I have a couple days of

Not having to do orders right away Alright let's see what's going on Playoffs yesterday let's see My team's never won that one Let's see who won I was way past my bedtime Today I'll watch the Bills game So now it looks like we have a new your AI companion is created so the

new Microsoft edge AI is slowly integrating Wow Detroit got beat up ha good for Washington oh good I wanted Washington to win. The Commanders won. So much for Detroit going to the Super Bowl. 45-31. That's awesome. Those tickets are real, real expensive. So the Commanders, cool. Good.

That's pretty awesome. After two to loss, it was my fault. They got beat up bad. 45-31. And the Chiefs are still plugging away. They got beat up bad. 45-31. And the Chiefs are still plugging away. They beat the Texans. Texans just don't have that extra edge. Kind of reminds me of the Patriots, which are still winning.

And then the Chiefs couldn't quite get to the Patriots yet. Couldn't quite get there. And then all of a sudden now they're like they're the dominant team. I'm hoping they get their third Super Bowl. That would be cool. Alright, so... So those are two scores from last night.

So one team did make it. Alright, so let's go to... I've had a couple of good orders another one maybe on Etsy comes around a little bit we will help me out see yeah another order oh cool I'll take it little orders nothing I make it a million here off Etsy, but I think I'm finally in the positive now. I've had like three or four little

orders. Then after the shipping costs and all that, I make a couple dollars. So I think I'm close to breaking even since I reopened Etsy. So that's fun. I'm glad I did. That's fun. Glad I did that's cool

And then we'll do some more Oh no, I have an invalid address Let's see what's going on the address is invalid update the address Always he's got Alright, so he's got the address wrong. I can fix that. I need to cut this out. Cut that out.

And then put that there. Okay. I think that fixed it. It should have. Okay. Alright, so now I can do it. Yeah, now the address is correct. Sometimes you put too much stuff on one address line, it messes it up.

So I moved it over. So now we're all set. Alright. Cool. I'll take that. Alright. So let's get that printed out. And then we'll go on to...

So what else is going on this morning? So today we'll... Let me show you what we should do. I'm going to go back to get some more stuff listed on eBay. So we're going to go back to get some more stuff listed on eBay. So we're going to double back to last week I was working on Magnavox motherboards, Intellivision, Intellivision 2 and I also did

Sega CD. So we're going to go back to all those and get some of that stuff listed today and tomorrow. So we're going to go back to all those. And get some of that stuff listed today and tomorrow. So we're going to do a listing day. The next couple of days. So I have probably one of that many videos going on. I may do a live stream anyway. But we'll see. So that's my goal for the next couple of days.

I want to start getting some stuff up for those. Because I tested those. I kind of know where I'm at with those. So we'll get some of that listed. Some of those boards work. Some of them don't. And I sell either or. The way they are.

Because people can use either. A working board. And they can also use a non-working board. As a parts board. For whatever. Or try to fix it. So. Well that's probably where I'm going today.

Definitely today. And then later on, the Buffalo game. I honestly want to see Buffalo lose. But we'll see what happens there. Oh, no, no, I don't. No, it's the Baltimore. I'm not a Baltimore fan at all. So, I want to see Buffalo win.

But I think they're going to lose. Alright, so let's... Because the best thing that ever happened to Buffalo was the running back going to lose. Alright, so let's... The best thing that ever happened to Buffalo was the running back going to there. That made a huge difference for that team. So I think that'll probably put him over the top to beat Buffalo today. Derek Henry, he's awesome.

So, he will probably be the difference maker today because it's going to be really cold and they're going to just run. Baltimore will just run. So Baltimore might have a chance to get the Super Bowl because of Derrick Henry, I think. Because, which you recall, it never seems to he always folds

in the playoffs. The quarterback there. He's really good too, but for some reason he panics in the playoffs and folds. But this year they have Derek Henry. So I'm kind of thinking they're going to make it there. I think they can beat Chiefs too. So two downloads.

294. Let's see. Any more dots up here. So I'm on my rss.com feed. Let's see. Another one in Australia. Let's see. Someone in Australia. That's pretty awesome. Across the world there.

So. Alright. So let's go to YouTube. And these are the things I do. Pretty much every morning. As soon as I get up. Therefore that's why. This morning podcast is called.

Groundhog Day. because it's basically the same thing every morning except the actual things that come out what i end up doing for the day are different so that makes it all right all right so let's see what my youtube is doing how are we doing here i'm gonna see youtube uh not quite there. Twelve. So since I haven't promoted any. My listings really haven't. My subscribers haven't gone up too much.

Not quite making that 13,000 yet. I'm at 12,928. I didn't promote anything. I've been promoting a lot of stuff. Rocket my hamster. That got me a lot of.. Rocket my hamster. That got me a lot of. That's the most feeds. An IBM luggage.

That unlocks a core memory. Awesome. Oh yes. Luggable. Yeah. Core memory. My dad and I worked. Had one for work.

When I was a kid. I remember. Playing some crappy Star Trek game on it. Oh yes. I was a kid. I remember playing some crappy Star Trek game on it. Oh, yes It's it's IBM 51 55 it was a it was a carry-on IBM portable It is used it is huge it is huge it's huge to carry

it needs something on the power supply um so i i actually i have two of the power supplies for it but i'd gotten a second one but neither power supply works something with the transformer yeah it's huge to carry all right so let's see what's going on here 45 seconds i don't understand my revenue it goes down now i'm at 37.94 i never get past 40 there's got to be something i'm missing that it's for for somebody it or it just goes down I know now that it's per month so I'm close to a hundred dollars but I don't know why this when I see summary comes to $37 unless that's for the day but I doubt that that would be great even $37 a day I would take at this point

but so much for that alright so that's where I'm at there looks like it's pretty much let's take a look oh I did Sega Saturn and Sega CD for cartridges yesterday so

so that's what I did yesterday. So normally if I don't promote anything, then I really don't get any views of my listings. And I just can't keep, I can't afford to keep promoting. So I thought I listed it yesterday, but I guess I didn't. So let's put that up.

My Sega boot process. Somehow it never went up. We'll get that up. Oh, I tore it down, my Tandy 200 yesterday too. Took me a minute to figure it out. I had to go to YouTube to figure out how to tear it down, but we did. So we got that tore down. Let's see.

So I'm getting more views for my podcasts than I do for my videos. Not anymore. I mean, I have 25 for my Sega CD and Saturn boot that I did last night. It was pretty fun.

Oh, I bought a... I wasn't going to buy anything, but I... It was a... Sega CD. That was really expensive for everybody else, but this one guy had it kind of cheap, so I bought it. So I need to test Sega CDs. I have some other ones around somewhere.

So when that comes in, we'll play around with that. Oh, and I have those Sega Saturn... No, Sega Genesis. so when that comes in, we'll play around with that, oh, and I have those Sega, Saturn, um, no, Sega Genesis,

three cartridges, I'm going to test today, that I got, that are, they're replicas, remakes, but, they're hard to find games,

and they're worth, well, the original one would be worth something, but not, not the one I got, so, so they were really cheap, so it was pretty cool, alright, so it's pretty cool

all right so let's go to eBay and see what's going on okay Oh, because we're on eBay now. So, let's see what is happening. I had one extra. I got all my orders out yesterday before the mailman came. Let's see what we got going on today. Just a couple orders. Somebody's ordering. I have this Atari. Original Atari box.

I'm going to see what they're offering for it. I just can't. Original Atari box. I want to see the offering for it. I just can't ship it for $2. Yeah. It's awesome. It's awesome. So that's not going to happen. It's all ripped up. But it's still.

It's three quarters of the box. This would cost me $15 just to ship it. Free shipping. He offered me $2 for it. It's really, I mean, it's all ripped open. But it's still an original box. Free shipping is not free

for me. I have it at $30 or something, but it's still original, but the front of it's all ripped up, so. Photo price right.

It says ripped away. Missing empty box. Faded parts. It's Atari CX-2600A. And it's missing all of it. But then it's got three quarters of the box. It's still intact. Obviously we're not going to sell it for $2.

Because that means I would have to pay him lots of money to ship it. And that's not happening. We'll just never ship it. Or never sell it, I should say. Which is fine.

Alright, so... The order was exactly as... So my feedback was good still good i'm so looming i know there's a uh some kind of a negative or neutral feedback looming i'm just unless they unless she doesn't we'll see works perfect in fast shipping oh any connector it's just the simplest thing all right so we have one order Oh, the end connector. It's just the simplest thing. Alright, so... We have one order. Our weekends have been really slow lately. So that's why today we gotta get some new stuff going.

So we're gonna... That's what we're gonna... As I'm pushing some new stuff up, it seems to rev up my shop a little bit. So, we're off to that today and tomorrow. And I'll do little videos here and there. I'll have lots of shorts, though, because I always put all my new listings as shorts as well. And then also that 60 seconds goes on the eBay listing.

So there will be lots of little shorts. So let's see if we got there. Okay. So let's go for that. This order was the bottom black GameCube with all the metal. Bottom case. Let's add one of those. GameCube with all the metal. Bottom case. Let's add one of those.

Alright, so that's my morning. I'm sticking to it. So, well, you can come check out what I'm doing today I'll try to have my live stream up and then we'll let's see what else we could do all right so you guys have a good afternoon and I will talk to you later on all right bye
