Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Thursday 1/9/2025

Episode Date: January 9, 2025

Today is a National Day of Mourning for the Late Jimmy Carter.

Good morning everyone. It is now 5 a.m. the 9th of July. Thursday. Today is going to be a national holiday for the passing of Jimmy Carter. So it's a federal holiday today which includes the post office closed today so a little bit of a somber holiday today but that's what today is going to bring um so yesterday we um got a lot of fun stuff done i put some more listings up not a lot of them but i got a couple more up it takes a lot of time to to get motivated to do it so i got a couple things did a couple things for nintendo today i'm going to do my atari 400 systems and a few other stuff today we'll get up listed i worked on my systems yesterday those are fun the amiga 32 cd and the um atari jaguar kind of the same grouping so we did that for a system.

Today I'm going to go on to, oh, the Apple, the Pippin, the iMark. I can't know the exact name of it. It's called an, it's made by Apple. It was an internet-based computer gaming system in Japan. Only Japan. It's really cool design, but you can't play any games on it I never could figure it out I still have some software

But it was all meant to go through the internet Back then They're really really expensive to find now I had a couple of them at one time I sold them both I had some expansion memory for them And all kinds of fun stuff. Don't have those anymore.

But we'll do those. And then I decided. Oh the GX4000. That's another Amiga. Another Amiga gaming system. GX4000. So I'm going to do that one. As well.

I'll do those two. I'm not sure if they're around the same. But that's GX4000 was European. It was PAL based 220 volt. So I had to step up to get to 220 and then I had to use

an NTSC from PAL to NTSC converter that I got on eBay. Again all those are all listed what i'm going to do is i'm going to start typing in all these systems that i've been talking about and i'm going to make categories for them so you can see them uh you can find them easy and any of the ones i've talked about like pc PCFX and all of them, I can easily categorize them now. So I'm going to make that something I'm going to do, just so you can see the really fun ones that we've talked about that are other than the big three.

And then I remember yesterday I was saying that Xbox, the next Xbox One is Xbox Prime. Very exciting about that, Xbox Prime. As far as I know, that's the name they're going to use. But they're saying 2026. So we have a year. 2025 should get significantly better. By 2026, 2027. That should be really exciting.

What we'll be at. And I'll be plugging away. I'll be doing these podcasts every morning. You know, God forbid something happen to me, then if they stop, then that's why. But if not, I'm plugging away. And we had some really bad news

on the west coast. I haven't seen it yet this morning. But it looked pretty terrible. Try not to talk about any bad news not really seeing anything MSN news doesn't give me a so let's hope for the best over there

so no football yeah like I said today's a holiday. I'm going to change a playoff game because of the wildfires there on the West Coast. All right, so I'm not really seeing anything. Well, I know there's that really horrible news, but I'm not going to see anything popping up. All right, so let's go right to what I'm doing here this morning. As always, Etsy. I've had a couple orders but nothing yet

I had one guy want to return one of the two orders that I had I heard back from him I asked him nicely to not return it alright so then let's go so nothing going on Etsy Not return it. Alright.

So then let's go. So nothing going on Etsy. And then we're going to go to my RSS feed. Sys.com. I'm supposed to add some new feature on. I like to try to sign up for any feature that there is for my pillow podcast. Again, it's just a little thing. Everything I do is just enough to be fun,

but I'm not really gaining anything financially at all. It's kind of a bummer. At this point, I could really use some help. I just can't seem to get anything to go. So I have four uploads. 257 all time. Pretty fun. Let's see what we're at. Anywhere news. A couple of Germany's.

A few in the US. So I just do them because I started doing them just because it was I thought it was the next step for me to do. I have to do my videos too. And I really enjoyed doing them. Just in the morning here. It helped me wake up.

And I can kind of talk through what my day is going to be like. And again it's just a message in a bottle. That goes out to the internet ocean. For anybody that may pick them up. So pretty fun. I find that very fun and fascinating. That something I'm doing is going to germany which is awesome or oh actually i had in australia too recently so it's really fun oh yeah there's another thing way to monetize try not to talk about that too much

but i kind of probably do uh it's like anything else as an artist or a creator you eventually want would like to get a little bit of help income wise for all the work but not so much so far but maybe one of these days it'll just break for me but i also do have a gofundingMe page for all my creative work. It's there if anybody wants to donate. It would be awesome. It goes just towards my daily living, paying for bills and stuff like that. I'm really trying to build up because right now, as I've said many times,

I take care of my mother and things are changing. If something were to happen to her, God god forbid then i would be on my own and then uh i'd be in trouble unless i can get something to come come come around uh financially other than ebay because ebay as we've talked about many times is my lifeline here uh and i mean it does all right but it i don't know if I could survive just on eBay. Because right now, like I said, I'm in debt consolidation. Because to get all this fun stuff that I've had over the last couple of years, I had to go out and buy stuff. So now I'm two years into a debt consolidation, the national debt consolidation.

And then I have two more years. Now I'm just down to just payments. So my, we're on YouTube now. And I'm at $10,621. So I'm excited I went over $10,000. That's pretty cool. Revenue, $39.33. So I think it was yesterday i was at 40 so i've never really increased at all actually i went down oh let's see if there's any messages uh probably a scam yeah yeah that's it yeah i wonder what it means I wonder

I wonder I was talking about yesterday I put a These people keep giving me this message That's really weird it sounds like it's in a different language But it's not And it means something but I don't know I wonder what it Means

I'm so Curious what it means. I'm so curious. Some sort of a message. I wonder what it means. I'm so curious now about this message thing. I'll read it to you in one second. Let me find it. So,

I got one a while ago and i just thought the guy was being weird and then i got a few more of them and then yesterday i got like three of them or two of them in a row uh there it is so this is the message i keep getting it says appreciate the detailed breakdown with a exclamation point which is is, I need some advice, so this is, this is, he doesn't need any of that. I have a safe pal wallet with USDT, comma, and I have a seed phrase, dot, exercise, tape, speak, race, clerk, couch, crater, letter. Close parentheses, dot, dot. What's the best way to send them to Beyonce? B-I-N-A-N-C-E.

Then I was thinking, well, maybe it's some sort of, what do they call that, an anagram? Is that all the first letters? A-F-C B-E T-C-H Is that what it's called? An anagram? So that's the message I keep getting.

I'm going to put it, you know what I'll do is I'll put it in my message today But I don't know if it's something weird I had three guys in a row Hit me with that same thing Same exact The other one says Thank you for your amazing video

A bit off topic Was the other start of it And then I wanted to ask a question And then the question is the same. That's SafePalWallet. I don't even know what a SafePalWallet is. I just don't want to check on it. I'm afraid to even check on it.

Because it's got to mean something. I'm sure it is a scam of some kind. But what I did is. Of the three guys that gave me the message. The same exact message. I re-sent them the message from the other guys. So it was like, here, here's a couple of your buddies. Ask them.

Just because it was... So it's a weird comment. I'm not sure what it's about, but... That's why comments... It's been pretty good, though. I can't complain. I have no gripe about the comments lately Everything's been pretty cool up until that thing

So that was the only comment that's Somebody that's a pretty good pretty cool person that does comment me once in a while So that's pretty neat. All right right so let's go from there to oh let's go to ebay see what got going on this morning all right so i figured out i was able to resolve an issue for a buyer a couple days ago he said his Wii wasn't working

and I sent him another board but then I told him some steps to check and he fixed it it was it did work he didn't have the bluetooth board on right or something

so that was resolved I like things that are resolved feedback on right or something so that was resolved i like things that are resolved um feedback a couple of good one or two good feedbacks so feedback's been pretty good i ordered some all all base stuff this week which cost money of course um anti-static bags uh shipping boxes. I have to get all different kinds of shipping boxes. Stuff's all real expensive. As described, cool.

9,000 back port. Okay. So I think I have one. So yeah, so every, I go through so many boxes. It's crazy that I have to I got up front to invest in boxes every once in a while.

Part of the overall cost of shipping stuff out. So. So that's that one. And every three months on eBay with your subscription

the only thing they give you on eBay well it's something. It's something better than nothing. It's a $50 credit towards buying. I buy eBay tape. And so every three months I can put stock

up because I go through so much packing tape and it's always that eBay tape because I can get it. Is this a working motherboard? is this a working motherboard yes as listed and detailed

someone's asking me about I sold, well I've got to get some more PS3 no sorry PS2 Slim motherboards listed although i did the best ones first which is the 9000 model so the ps2 slim 9000 model is the one the last motherboards when i had the internal power supply uh so somebody's asked me if it works and i have it listed as working so i'm not sure why they're

asking again but they do that buyers do that often just to get a double check so yeah and then i need to go i sold some of the 79001 which was the motherboard before this one and that one you did need the power adapter so that's pretty cool and then after before that there's the 7001 model and the 7501 7701 and there's a 7001 two those are the four I have not listed yet and I have a lot to tell them. So we'll make it some sort of a listing today. Or not today, but just in the next few days. I'll try to get some more. Cool. Got a little bit

going on there. I'm going to wait. Oh no. Let's put this stuff over here. I'm going to wait. wait we'll print out the orders i have let's see what kind of orders i got i got a few ebay's been a little bit better uh but only because i've been putting more stuff up and i need to continue that process again it takes a lot of work time and effort so oh I sold one of those F boards all right so I put some the original Xbox so 105 I did a video yesterday about the uh samsung x the samsung uh disk drives there's two of them one's the sdg605b which is uh not as common and and then there's a cdg605a uh f the mother the drive board inside

i need one of each i have one of each so i listed the b because i know somebody wanted one it looks like somebody bought one so that's cool all right so and then let's see we have all the uh xbox 360 the fat top glossy cover or usually it's flat and then I also have a Nintendo Wii front panel I have a few of those left so I got a couple I gotta check to see how many I got so one of those so one of them all of those stuff adds up so we'll get some of that so that's pretty cool see like i think i might have another message here as well let's see no just so it gives me five orders that's cool that's exciting i'm gonna do these five orders so the first one like i said the panel i saw i've so over the years for nintendo wii i've had at least 1300 if not more i mean i i don't think i'm underestimating that either and every single

front panel i've sold off the wii even the ones that are broken i put them in a lot and sell them that way always always one of those things that will always sell. Sometimes not all the time, right away. But lately I've only been selling them once in a while here and there. But I do have a few. And at this point, for a while, I'm not getting anything else. So whatever I have left, that's it pretty much for now. Maybe next year we'll see.

Again, I know everything would be contingent on my YouTube kicking up some income speed steam, but that's not happening. So unless that changes or my podcast somehow can generate something between the two of them then I can get lots of more fun stuff as for now I just basically I live order by order

just enough to pay the bills maybe a couple little things here and there that's about it the days of getting pallets of gaming systems is pretty much over i think unless again if something were to significantly change i can easily find a i have a place in right here in town where i can go get a whole pallet of gaming systems but you got to put up front a lot of money. It's just not happening anymore. Maybe that'll change someday.

But then at the same time. Gaming system parts selling is not as good as it used to be. Or I just don't have enough variety. But I have almost a thousand things up. But selling gaming parts is a lot. It's more. Over time. But I have been selling. And I have sold sold a lot some stuff that's complete now mostly doing that with my vintage computing it's better to

sell those complete although my camera 64 I sold all the motherboards so lots of keyboards same with the 128. So there's still, everybody likes the vintage computing. I think it's more sought after than the actual, but the really early vintage computing. I've got some other computers that are like, you know, Windows 7 and stuff like that. And that just, there's not as much of an interest for that as opposed to dos and you know

tandies and radio shack and all them anything early vintage uh apple uh i sold some good stuff off that really helped me out so those are the kind of stuff i have a few things left of those not many i was getting them local but But I won't be getting any of those anymore. But I got a nice line of Tandy's. And our TRS-80's yet to list. I'm going to keep some though. I really don't need a lot. I got too many of them.

But I wanted to learn about them. I'm still learning about them. And then I'll start listing them. At some point. And I got some with extra goodies that go with them. Let's do all the extra fun. Cards for the back and stuff. Those are the.

You know upgrade memory. Modems and stuff like that. Back then. Usually that's the memory. That's the thing. The memory card. Or a video card of some kind. So I get extra video cards.

For that era. The early, early era. Peripheral cards. You know, like serial ports and stuff like that. Lots of times when I got a system, there was extra cards on it. Even if the system didn't work. And those are the fun ones. I haven't even touched any of that yet.

Alright, so those are two of those. What else do we have here this morning? Oh, that thing for the whatchamacallit. Cool. So I'll get that listed. I'll get that going. So that's about it. Today, like I said, I'm going to

because technically today is now official. It's a day of mourning. I'll leave it at that that but there's no post office so these orders that I'm doing I can just kind of put them aside I'll get them together but I don't have to I would already be

after the podcast here I would be starting to get them together to pack them and get them all out for the day today but I can kind of not do that oh you know what else i started yesterday uh alan wake 2 so i finally settled into my ps5 that i'm going to keep not going to so i started over with my alan wake 2 and i really hadn't gotten far it's really fun so i'm up the point now where i got out of the morgue and um went back to where the where the crime happened and that's where i'm at now it's really fun

nice and easy pace you know i don't have to run around and shoot and kill people or kill stuff all the time i'm just not into that anymore. That one, I did a little bit of Last of Us 2. I started that again. I haven't got to the dreaded scene there yet. Anybody that's playing Last of Us 2 would know that scene. It was a horrible scene. I'm still traumatized by it to this day.

I didn't know it was coming. It totally threw me off. So hopefully, and then I also saw the Last of Us 2 preview for Max, the second season, which is basically the second game. And I'm really curious to find out whether they're going to actually put that scene in there.

I just leave it at that scene because there's never been a more violent scene in a video game that I've ever seen than that one. It was just terrible. Again, I'm still traumatized by it. That's why I talk about it. So I haven't quite gotten to that scene yet on Last of Us 2 yet. So I really haven't gotten far.

I'm hoping I can just skip it. I know how to just skip the cinematography as a scene comes in you click that you push the uh the pad button and then you can skip it so i'm hoping i can skip that because i don't want to see that again or i won't play it because it was terrible and it caused it after that it changed the whole directory of the game which i didn't didn't realize any of that when i first got it it. I got it when it first came out. And then I. That scene game.

And I was traumatized. But then I played it for a while. And I've gone through many PS5s since then. But now I'm settled in. That's what we're going to do. So we've been playing a couple games. After I'm done doing my stuff. So I may do that. I haven't really been videoing the games.

Because it didn't seem to be too popular. although i might throw up a live feed and play awesome alan wake later on so that's about it for this morning lots of stuff going on we'll figure it out and then uh we'll pick those systems for later you'll like those those are really fun and then i'm going to stop making categories for all the systems I've talked about. The ones other than the main ones. The ones from Europe. And the other fun ones that are not as common. And if you didn't go out and look for them, you wouldn't know they were there.

I'm going to make some categories for those today. And start stuffing each one that will be in those categories. So if you want to check them out. Alright. So I'll talk to you guys later on. Alright. Have a good day. Bye.
