Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Thursday 12/26/2024

Episode Date: December 26, 2024

Play "Strays" On PS4 or PS5. I am now a Huge Fan of this game.

Good morning everyone. It is almost 6 o'clock. It's the day after Christmas. So now people are getting ready to do returns and anything post Christmas. We usually leave up our decorations until the new year. So technically the holiday season is still going strong. Although we've gone past the... So a lot of people are now getting ready to turn around and go back home. Or some people are staying for the weekend. And some people stay longer until the new year.

And then the real winter starts after the new year. In 2025. Yesterday we had a fun day. Just me and my mother and my dogs. Put some nice videos up. I actually got a video

of me. So that's fun. My mother always gets me something. Something fun. Some socks and some other stuff. So it was pretty cool again I try to cherish every moment because I just don't know how much time I have for her or for me you never know I before all of us we're all we're all on a time schedule here so I continue to try to take as many videos as I can and pictures as well so let's see what

today brings so post office is open again so the Chiefs beat up on the Steelers Chiefs are looking pretty good for the Super Bowl they might be a three-peat it's been I don't know how many Bowl. They might be a three-peat. I don't know how many years it's been since a three-peat of the Super Bowl. I don't know the last team that did that. I know the Patriots didn't do it. So I think the Chiefs are on their way. I don't see them barring some other team on the other side, like Detroit or something maybe.

They may have a hard time. Then the Ravens, which I'm not a fan of, beat up on the Texans, which I like. But the Texans only got two points. They just scored two points. That's weird. Even a two-point conversion is only two points. But that's after you get a foot uh a touchdown two points oh safety safety is two points that's right so they must have uh got him and got

somebody in the uh end zone so yeah safety is two points So they got a safety and that was it. Ravens are going to be tough to beat too. Alright, so that's enough football. Let's look through my early news here. Is a six core CPU enough? Six cores. Is reality just a simulation? That's what I think. I think we're just in a simulation ourselves.

Because if you look at space itself, there was a... Space is just more of an illusion for us. We really can't go anywhere. That's why we never see anything. Really. I mean, we have the Hubble Space Station and all...

I mean, the Hubble... And then the other, James Watt there. We see stuff out there, but it's just an illusion. I think we're in some sort of a simulation. Although, if, if, if the world here

was my sim, I'd tell you why I'd be hitting reset, because it's pretty, pretty messed up. Two physics discoverers, special properties on stable atoms with magic numbers alright so no around it followed Santa Claus that's pretty cool that's pretty fun

let's see anything else news sports is pretty much simple alright so let's see where we're going today. So even though I had a day off yesterday, I mean, I really never have a day off, but I still did a lot of stuff.

I put up my Apple retested again, but I can't get it to work. I don't think I have the right monitor. It's Apple 2C. It's a portable with the power adapter somebody will get it working or it may it may work i just don't have the

right monitor i'm not really sure um there was a plane crash all right so let's go to etsy um no orders there still a negative on etsy let's see what my negative on that is i had three orders so it's still sold some stuff but i am still negative 53 jesus I just cannot even at some point it's gonna it may have been a bust I want to keep it going but I just can't seem to get in the positive to I sold some stuff

but not a bummer that's not working out hopefully as I was hoping it would after I restarted it. And tried to update the listings a little bit. I have 174 active listings. The problem is I get 20 cents per listing. And then it's keeping me in the negative. Unless I get a couple of good sales.

I had a couple of decent sales. I had a couple decent sales, but nothing that is helping me get back out of the positive, into the positive, actually. Alright, so let's go on to my RSS feed. I put a few things on yesterday. I did PS2 fat boots. That was fun. And I make sure

I hit every single motherboard. Including the Japan model there. With the PC card in the back. So that was a fun one. Next one I'll do today. We decided it was going to be. Oh Xbox 360. Yeah let's do that.

Lots of boards there too. So I try to hit the different revisions. And see how the boot is different. And how. Each company. Changed. And we found out that Sega. Significantly went backwards.

After the original. High definition. Every version after that was worse. And worse. Sony seemed to improve. So I have four downloads. I've had 195 since I started doing this. Pretty exciting stuff.

I only had a couple yesterday. Not really any new dots. A few more. Alright, so that's pretty fun. Alright, so let's go to YouTube. Supercomputer actually run the world. Tesla supercomputers. Twin galaxies.

NGC4496A and NGC 4496A and NGC 4496B oh that's right the Chiefs and the Steelers game was on Netflix yesterday I heard there's still some issues but I think the

amount of play they get on on there is significantly more so I believe that'll be the next new thing. Live streams on. All the platforms. Because it's more of a worldwide thing.

But it can get low cost. Get a lot more income. Alright so YouTube. That's where we're at. I added a few things yesterday. I was playing around. Oh oh those all those vintage computers I did first thing yesterday morning only because I had a

vintage photo up back in the 70s here so I decided to pull out I was digging them out anyway oh I went so I'm now well past 6,000 subscribers can I say that? Subscribers.

I've actually made it to $34.39. As of early yesterday, I was at $32. I went backwards again. And then midday, I went to $34. So now I'm at $34.39. Do I have any comments I don't see any comments very slow

so my subscribers keep going up which is wonderful but it doesn't impact any sort of monetization so at this point I really probably won't really talk try not to talk much about it anymore because it's the moot point it's not gonna change unless something but we'll just stick with the positive of having added more subscribers we'll leave it at that for now if something

significant change is good or bad i will uh point it out and i had been doing videos about it but i think i'm just about done with doing that i'll just go back to doing my thing and then see where things go from there or not we'll see all right so you i mean yeah youtube more people very exciting i'm gonna add subscribers today we'll do some fun stuff there's always something to do i got there's not a day where i couldn't have a whole day of doing videos of things that i have and i can mix it up pretty much i try not to keep on the same thing i try to completely throw something different in there so let's see i've been trying to do different views different angles on the video live stream all that fun stuff all right so let's go to our eBay let's take a

breath here and see what we got going on I'm really quiet I got one offer boink that was it that's for my target for the yes Sega that's a gum sorry Sega. Not Sega, I'm sorry. Super Nintendo. The Mini. Two offers. Let's check my feedback. Laptop. Which laptop? Let's see.

Let's look at some positive feedback here. Everything's been positive. Macintosh. Oh, the PowerBook. Arrived in excellent working edition cool and then I had a thank you for power inject button ps3 that's cool that's all you do is uh it's I got a exactly what I needed thank you for helping me out. The purplish buttons for the Sega Saturn.

Yeah, a button set. And then I needed some screws and stuff. Love the shell. Great price. Honest seller. That was a vanilla empty shell. It's cool. Wrapped quickly. So, everything's been good and positive,

which is nice for the holidays. Not a fan of negative or neutral stuff. So, let's see. So, all I have then, so no sales, but I have two offers, or at least one offer. No, two offers.

Probably take both, just so I can have a couple sales. But I won't take that one. No, I'm not taking that one. That's negative. I'll take the other one though.

So I'll give me one sale. It's for the Mini on the Super Nintendo Mini Junior. Uh, yeah, so I'll take that. That's cool. I also had a, um, top loader for the NES I just sold. Motherboard. So we'll take that one oh that's that kitty I know actually I know that buyer too so someone that ordered a

few things from me over the years so we'll take that that's cool so I'll give me one order for the day a few dollars let's see and I've sold a few other things over the weekend not many stuff but some of that a little bit more price so I have to keep putting on up things that are worth a little bit more although that's hard to really sell things that are worth more but I always have best to offer so often even if I have something really high and normally I price

by what I see other prices on eBay and then usually I'll take a little bit off but I won't do like a half offer half off offer ever I did have half off and nobody took advantage of it on cyber cyber Monday I put my whole store on half off and I got like two orders and then somebody offered me something more than the half off i already had i certainly not going to do that i'm not going to take i'm not going to give half off everything

and then take more off so that's what most buyers want they want to no matter how much you give for discounts and coupons and i have best offers they use the best offers to ask for more. I just decline happily. Especially if it's something that's even slashed more than already. But I've got lots of fun stuff up. All right, so let's see what we're at here. 40 minutes. So I just had that one offer that came in. Let's see, my YouTube.

Looking pretty good. Etsy I got to work on. I got to get some more stuff listed on Etsy. But the problem is every time I list something it's another 20 cents. See on eBay you don't get charged per listing. If I did I don't know if I could do it that way. Because I have almost a thousand things listed. Etsy they also charge you that 20 cents per listing.

So and I believe it's once a month. So if I have 200 items items 20 cents that's what 20 bucks I'm gonna review let's review item as described and well packed that's on Etsy so Etsy saw a couple people favored my shop again I'm rebuilding his so this is gonna take a while so I've had two good feedbacks on Etsy we've had a few sales I'm gonna commit to it even though I'm not making money on it yeah I had a website pattern but I shut that down and Etsy also had an Etsy plus supposed to add extra marketing and stuff and I shut that off I can't really I can't

for those are both the Etsy plus was an extra $10 the pattern which was another extra $15 so there's 25 bucks right there I took out I had to I went all in when I first turned it back on but all in didn't didn't really help me out down the road maybe if we see some more positive stuff then i can but i got lots of fun stuff on etsy that's not on ebay parts wise and i have the migration company that i use. It's called Three Colts. Weird name. But on Three Colts, the name of the migration.

So you've got to migrate. If you're on one selling platform, you've got to find a website to migrate to another. You can do it instantly, like all of it, but it's really expensive. And I'm also trying to get my steam account up and running because there's a program I want to learn how to play. So the three cults it's called cart to cart. That's the name of the company, the migration.

So when you migrate from eBay to Etsy, it's completely different. So you can only do, unless you pay a company to do it for you, and the hundreds of dollars. But I can't because Etsy is supposed to be 20 years or older items. Therefore, original Xbox 0105, basically, era. So, my cart-to-cart, it migrated all my eBay stuff to that cart.

And then from there, I have to individually do, I pick items that I want to put onto Etsy. And it's another subscription. So, it's cart-to-cart. That's And it's another subscription. So it's something else that costs money. So it's cart to cart. That's what it's called.

So I'm going to, maybe today I'll add some more stuff to it. Maybe a couple bigger things. I think I'm going to add a couple bigger things that I have. And I may actually put some computer stuff on Etsy as well. Because it's all vintage.

Apple computers. So I'll probably do that, I think. Instead of bringing more little parts that cost me 20 cents per listing. I bring something over to Etsy that's, you know, 100 or 200 bucks. And if I could sell something like that on Etsy. I have a clamshell. On Etsy. I have a clamshell on Etsy. That's worth a few bucks.

A couple people favored it but nobody's purchased it. And I also have best offers on Etsy, which I added. Sales and best offers. Oh, and the last thing I want to talk about before I go is yesterday or a couple days ago I, once in a while I'll go on my PS5

and I'll look for the games that are for sale. So there was a game called Strays. You're a Cat. It's the coolest game ever. I was so, and I finally sat down last night. I got Strays, and then I got Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I was going to play that first.

But it's co-op. You have to sign up for that. And that's like Skull and Bones. I got Skull and Bones way back to play. And it's also the same. So you have to have a subscription. So I couldn't play Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Because I can't afford another subscription. So I couldn't play Texas Jack. Because I can't afford another subscription.

So I turned on Strays. It is really really fun. If you're really into something. No killing. No nothing. Just very. It's kind of like a puzzle game. But you got to find stuff.

And it has robots involved. Which I didn't know I guess I didn't remember something about robots and now then the robots you communicate as a cat with a robot and you have special equipment and a little guy that B-12

that's attached to you that can translate stuff it's really fun I was like wow this is what I was looking for cause I'm not really into that really fast paced shooting killing It's really fun. I was like wow. This is what I was looking for. Because I'm not really into that really fast paced. Shooting and killing. And it's third person. So the cat is your person.

I had no idea what it was about. When it first started out. You got to give it time. Until you get to the robots. And then it really kicks in. And you're like oh this is pretty fun. Before that you're just a cat kind of wandering around you get lost you and you have to find your way back it's what you're doing

and you're way down in the robot slums but i suggest if you like something that's really cool you can sit back and just have fun with strays is my number one new game for an older person like me or someone that just likes, it's got a little bit puzzled to it, you jump around a little bit here, but you don't really die oh no you do die, cause there's those little there's these little guys that attach to you and they'll kill you, I forget what they're called

Zorks or Zerks or something alright so I'm gonna end my note on that if you like PS5 or it might be on ps4 as well i believe it is strays uh it was really cheap it was like half off and i'm a huge fan so that's my i'm gonna play more of that i'm gonna take some videos uh little video today later on playing it because it's really really fun the interaction to the robots and the concept of and it's like not really english but it is and it's just really fun it's such a different game

than i've played in a long time all right so i'll talk to you guys later on we'll pick up we'll do xbox 360 boots and there's lots of motherboards i don't really know them off by hand off off the top of my head but i kind of understand most of them so we'll look at that later all right have a good afternoon talk to you then
