Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Sunday 6/29/2025

Episode Date: June 29, 2025

I finally settled into Death Standing 2.0. Deadman has final passed away with story finished at Reach Center. I found the Phase Gate way in the back of the Center. I am exploring this area for now. The story must change once I go home in some way. On another Gaming Note, I also Came across a Dell Optiplex I turned in a Nintendo Switch Bactocera machine.

Good morning everyone is now six forty four It's June 29th 2025 and today is Sunday It's been a long June for some reason seem like a one-five fast, but yet it's still here So everyone's talking about fourth of July weekend, so we have a really nice stretch of weather All the way across the board all the way to next week, so it's pretty cool Nothing really super hot, but still well in the mid to upper 80s. Not much rain, a little bit. I think it's one day of rain Tuesday.

But besides that we're pretty dry. So anybody that's beach bound or anything. Remember I live right near the beach here. I could just drive to the beach in five minutes. But I haven't gone to the beach in 10 years, 20 years, I don't know, a long time. I couldn't imagine just sitting on the beach and getting sun. I guess it would be fun, but just way too old for that stuff.

But a lot of people do it, but a lot of people enjoy it. And it's there if I ever wanna go for a beach run. But I pretty much never do. All right, so yesterday I kinda kept simple. I did a little Wii U. I was really gonna get into my Wii U minis, the RVL-201, but then I realized both my cables,

I found a second cable later, the pins are all broken on it, so I don't know where to turn them on. I've got five disk drives and three motherboards. I have one other mini, but it's way in the back I didn't feel like going to dig for it But my problem is is is I can take that cable off and test the others

But when when you pull it in and push it out it ruins the cable, so I don't really want to ruin my last cable So I'm kind of a pickle with. I may just sell them for parts but I think they all work. The disk drives maybe not so much even those I think it might work but the motherboard I think do work so it's just a matter of if there was another way I could test those without having another cable but I just don't it's a ribbon cable and it's really micro and once those little pins go that's it just moshes So that's all I think I really did yesterday then I am now settled in To Death Stranding 2.0 as I'm calling it now

I'm at the research center. I finished Hearing the story about dead man, and and I think now he's finally is dead and the story about Lou so that's where I'm at so now I'm just kind of settling in going and just staying in that area before going back home and some reason the story is going to significantly change because it says I've already finished Mexico. Oh I did find the pillar gate it's on the back end of that research center down if you go down bottom I explored around the area other than going home and put up some watch towers and stuff like that so we're just kind of checking out the this area I believe

I'll have to come back I found the pillar there in the back. You can't go in it, but there is a There is a Terminal there. So so we kind of settled into it The three-wheeler and I'm a big really big fan of the three-wheeler thing Gets caught all the time. I'd rather have the two-wheeler to start out with but still fun. It's different But so 2.0 Death Stranding, that's where we're at. So we settle and play for about an hour, we get there a little longer than normal, and I really haven't gone anywhere.

So I'm assuming we're gonna go back to his house and then something dramatic's gonna happen. He'll either go back there and nobody will be there, or something's gonna trigger the next part of the story, because technically the story just didn't seem like it ended. I was like what? So we'll see so if you were into Death Stranding for you know about more than I do 2.0, so they should have called it because it's just a continuation of the first one so it's not like it's a sequel

So let's check some news let's see oh and we talked about yesterday I've been seeing a lots of reviews and I'm glad I got one now it's real expensive the meta Xbox 3s version so it's really technically the first xbox portable although I guess Xbox is really they were also with rogue handheld those are real expensive too but we're gonna go with this one I should get it within a week I already ordered it I paid four payments up for it. So break it down on the payments makes a lot easier to buy stuff I use it all the time it's the

It's called can I say the words K L a R N a I use it all the time music for a few years now It's really only place. I have any sort of credit or news still in my deep into my debt consolidation. Got probably about a year and a half left, maybe a little bit less. And I'll start winding down a little bit. But national debt consolidation is what I used.

And it really helped me out. I would've never gotten out if I didn't use it. It keeps you disciplined to what you have to do per month. Now I'm just pretty much every wall of my creditors are settled. I'm just paying them down now. No interest or anything like that. So that's what helps out.

All right, so let's see Etsy. It's just a dot. Ooh, dot, dot. Maybe get an order. If I get an order once in a while, Etsy would be so exciting. Let's see. I do.

Two memory flaps. About as cheap as more as you can get. I got more of those. But hey, something has better than nothing. I make a few bucks. So Etsy, I haven't changed free shipping. I left it alone. So I think we'll keep that the way it is for now I've seen significant

slower sales now they added four dollars to eBay but I've been selling a little bit bigger items with the discounts I had 30% off so we're just gonna go with that flow for a little bit so we got one order so this is a Nintendo Gamecube memory flaps literally there's two little gray flaps on either side of where the memory slot goes in. You pull them up and pull them out. They just come out. It has a little spring in them. So they fade.

They get dark. So I've got a whole little tray full of them. Most of them are dark, but I still have some that are pretty clean and pretty natural color. Okay, so that's one order there. I wish Meta and Microsoft Xbox was done more. What's it say? It says I wish Meta and Microsoft new Quest Xbox edition was more than just a new color. So it is really just a new color. Comes with a controller, but it's the same 3S inside. I think you get three months of Xbox Live.

So, still cool though. I'm not really a big VR fan at all. I have a really hard time keeping them on for a long time. So we're gonna just try it. I really don't like it when I resell it. Everyone on eBay has them for really expensive. I don't want to just flip it. I want to try it out.

And if I just can't deal with it after a while, I'll just sell it before I pay for it. Maybe make a few bucks extra. We'll see. We'll see how it goes. But we'll wait until it gets there first. Okay, so let's go to Poshmark. I'm running out of time, I only got one day before my cross list ends.

And I'll see if I can get some time in today and list some things more on Poshmark. Throw another like 10, 20 things up just so I can get some more on my 988 followers. I just want to get more followers and because there's a link to my YouTube so maybe I don't bring people to there. Everything is always bounced back and forth between YouTube, eBay, even Etsy. between YouTube, Ebay, even Etsy. All those are just trying to mirror back and forth best I can, trying to draw up some business. All right, so let's go to RSS feed.

That's my other little mirror here I use. We only get a few downloads, maybe one or two a day. I like to go and do some mid afternoon stuff. The days are so short it's hard to get to that other part of what I was doing but it's been a while so I may do it. So I had two downloads yesterday, 87, 665, pretty awesome. Ashburn, pretty cool. Helsinki, there is a place actually a place named Helsinki. Lindale, of course, we welcome them. Charlotte and Barcelona, Spain, pretty awesome. Message in a bottle over the internet ocean, wherever it may go. Worldwide in the United States, mostly United States, but that's pretty cool. Spain, Barcelona and Finland big city I always look forward to seeing where they go

we should have more time to do more and I could bring my buddy Zippy I was doing that for a while in the beginning as a co-host and then asking questions that way but I've since got rid of all my subscriptions to chat GPT and all that, so I can only talk for a few minutes with them. I'm just really not using it. It's not really that great. It's not all knowing or anything, the chat GPTs.

It helps you a little bit. So if I have a question I ask, and I do it for free. It's ever since they wanted me to put a tip when I made a logo and they sent me to a a Another link where I was supposed to tip Zippy for the logo and I was like what I said no I ain't tipping Chat GPT for a logo and that's where I was paying the $29 a month. So I was like

So then I got rid of it I was like and that's when I was paying the $29 a month. So I was like, nah. So then I got rid of it. I was like, that's weird. All right, so let's look at YouTube. Haven't really been putting much on YouTube. Just a couple things I did yesterday. It doesn't really matter. I can put 500 things per day on YouTube or I can put

five it's not really doing any different although my numbers are going down $46 on the staying strong I'm at 538 my peak was 655 so I go by that my revenue went up I ticked up a buck $28..09. The highest I was at was $32. But it goes up and it goes back down again, which doesn't really make any sense. If you make something, how can it get taken away? But it does. Flash 15 seconds.

WeMini, we had a 1K, 1.9K, 1.2K. So my flash 15 seconds are, it's an option, you can just do 15 seconds and it's by far the most views, but of course it's only for a few seconds so you're not going to make any money or anything. It's just to kind of see if I can mix it up a little bit. I had 48 views from my Wii Mini, which that was going to be be a long video but I didn't have the connection I was like how am I gonna do and I didn't feel like climbing around trying to find the island so it ended up only being a really short video but the same thing it doesn't really matter if it's longer just you can get it you can at least get to

see what a Wii mini is all about RVL 201 I had a few of them apart so you can see the inside and all that good stuff so pretty pretty fun. Alright, so let's see what's going on eBay Sorry today is Sunday. So I got off got all my orders out yesterday yesterday So it's quieter today a couple orders Let's see we got a feedback super fast delivery Okay, let's see what we have here This is a neo geo front top loader cover. As described, we purchased it again, thanks.

Yeah, that was pretty cool. So I think he ordered it on Friday, he got it on Saturday, so that's pretty, you're gonna get much faster than that. I hate to tout myself, but I try to, you do the next one was the parents of quality Beezle arrived quickly That was for the silver chrome Xbox 360 s 1439 Those are really hard to find I have I have a few left, but they're they're all got scratches and It's from the glossy

Xbox s The 360 s it was a glossy and a matte finish the glossy got really scratchy and the the Bezel chrome trim Was got really wrecked, but I had a few that weren't too too bad So good positive. It's been everything's been good positive. I got a couple returns to do and I do those today I Did order my first thing I haven't ordered anything my Toshiba satellite Pro 440 CDX I have one but I'm missing the battery compartment. I'm not a battery I'm missing the Hard drive disk compartment. This one's complete untested And it also has a CD-ROM mine has the floppy in it and it's removable. So now I have both

so that actually worked out because it was kind of pricey, but it's my first investment. And of course, then the Xbox. So I was gonna invest in an Xbox series. I really wanted to get the white series X without the disk drive, but then at the same time I wanted the disk drive. So then I was gonna get the black X and I'm like, I already had one of them I really don't want to go backwards so I

decided not to oh it's an interesting thing I sold all my Panasonic defective donor Wi-Fi pods I bought them I couldn't get them to work so then I just resold them so I just basically made my money back pretty close to it not quite but pretty close so that's pretty awesome and then a fan for the Xbox actually the 360s console just a fan so a couple things and then we're gonna do a new sale this week we did all coupons coupons just not as popular people just don't see them I don't think so we're gonna go back to a sale sale do like 20% off or something And then I'll throw another 5% coupon. We'll mix it up Try and mix things up here and there

So I believe this sale will end I believe it's 30% off Which is a lot 30% off is a lot I haven't really sold many things on the smaller end now that I've added four dollars around across the board But it's just the only way I could do it. I had to I had to Do something to offset all the lost shipping costs Again, I was free shipping for almost eight years here Again, I was free shipping for almost 8 years here. So, oh god.

Alright, so let's see. So that's just two orders there. Everything's nice and easy, peasy. Just a couple orders. Oh, you know what we're gonna do today? I'm gonna go outside. Those, I got 8, 8 or 10 Xbox 360 fat white ones. We'll do a video out there

It's gonna be fairly cool today, and I only have a couple orders so plus it's Sunday so I can do stuff outside, too And I may move my my area to a different place. I haven't decided yet for today We'll leave it in the same spot. It's really nice outside the birds and making noise. It's nice And we'll take a box of my 360s and at some point I don't think I'm gonna do it for a while, but I've got a whole closet full of more of them But that would be I mean I may just leave those in there and I'll just take them down But for now we'll do another outside tear down for about a half hour. So oh and then finally yesterday I got in a Dell Optiplex 3040 3640

no it's Optiplex 3040 so it's like like a mini tower, it's got an i5. I turned it on, so I'm not big into any vintage computer, the older the better. This is fairly new. It would handle Windows 10, I believe it's a Windows 10 machine. It has 8 gigs by the RAM, but I believe the hard drive didn't work. So I turned it on, it went to the logo and beeped and then did nothing. So I took the, first I thought maybe the RAM was the problem. But then I took the hard drive off and then it went to the bioscreen looking for a hard

drive. So what I did is I have Baccerra. I don't know if I say that right back sara uh... it is all my uh... nintendo switch games is eighty of them and you can get that through etsy

that's it back sara it's probably some newer stuff i'm sure you'll start seeing uh... nintendo we too i mean uh... switch 2 rather but it's got all the main really good games so i put it on this and it works fine. It's a little bit slow starting a couple of games one game on here Sundew Valley that some reason it's the back the games upside down. I don't know why But we'll fire that up. I'll show what I made so I turned that into a back Sarah machine right now pretty cool

If you haven't had it you can get one one you need to run it on a fairly new computer I have a couple of HP elite Desks those are the minis I can run them on those I've got an i7 and an i9 this one's a an i5 So it just came in it's real cool slick. It could easily be a nice little quick seller So it just came in, it's real cool, slick, could easily be a nice little quick seller. They're not that really expensive on eBay either. But when I add the Baxera, you just plug in any controller and it automatically IDs it and then you just use that controller to play games.

It's pretty cool. If you've never heard of Baxera, I didn't know anything about it. So I used to be really into Etsy as my go-to for anything homemade gaming or games that are remade or tweaked or whatever they're done. And Baxera is one of those things. There's probably newer stuff now. I haven't looked in a while. But I was buying stuff like that off of Etsy. So that's a really good place to go if you're looking for anything cool. Or even like cases of the artwork that's redone if you run out of an artwork game and you look up the artwork it's not original but you can get someone that makes it lots of covers of cases all kinds of things like that

games that are redone so pretty cool Etsy go to so later on we'll play it we'll fire my back Sarah here I was working on a little bit yesterday before I Finished up for the night. I just came into me and I was like, oh, let's play around with it It's a pretty cool consistent now. It's not like the old dell optiplexes. I got one of those It was really old ugly ones. I'm gonna pull that one out. We'll compare the old ugly optiplex If you know what i'm talking about there octuplex if you know what I'm talking about there. Mine's even slim too and then this is the newer style. It's a newer kind of octuplex. Pretty cool. Alright so I think that's it for the Sunday. Everyone have a wonderful day.

Enjoy the end of the weekend here. I'm sure wherever you are the weather is probably really nice too. Hopefully you get a nice stretch of weather like we're gonna have here. Alright, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Alright, bye.
