Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Thursday 3/27/2025

Episode Date: March 27, 2025

Today is an Apple SMapple day.

Good morning everyone. It is now 6 25 on March 27th 2025 taste Thursday, so Midweek is going by pretty quick today. I was up a little bit earlier this morning I was working on my little buddies out there again I got a little extra mouth to feet so and I gotta make sure he's cleaned up and I also took my little Rockets cage And clean it all out I also took my little rocket's cage and cleaned it all out. So that took a while to do. So I wanted to get him all cleaned up

through another extra tube in there so he could get some more tube action. He loves his little tubes. He's a little peanut, as I call him. For a hamster, he's like a little runt, but we like him. He flies around, but I can clean him up pretty easily now because he'll stay in the tube while I'm cleaning another part, so we did that.

I would video it again, but I decided not to. Just clean him up. So, yesterday I worked on my Dell Inspiron computer for a little while. Upgraded the CPU, basically just dropping, pulling out one, putting the other in. Again, you really can't tell any difference between the one I already had in there and that one, but fun. And then I did get Some of the ports in the back the mouse wasn't working

But I managed to after I finished the video I set it up to its original This the basic where it's gonna stay. I'm not gonna upgrade the operating system Just want to leave it as it as it is and eventually oh and then a video card came in for it So I'll have a little video card so I'll be all up nice and upgraded and again now down the road I'll sell it as a little for games I'll throw some games on there that's what we're gonna do I'll get all the Kings quest space quest police quests we'll throw those on there as a little bonus and then we will sell it it's a cute little small form I want to call it I think it's called and then

yesterday or I've been really into Silent Hill 2 I'm well into the hospital I think I think I finished the pool I think I'm going to third floor second floor oh I need to go back to x-ray I'm trying to find floor, second floor. Oh, I need to go back to X-Ray. I'm trying to find three bands for an arm. So we played Silent Hill 2, the remake. It's really good. Actually, you know what? I want to say, Silent Hill 2, I like it better

than any of the Resident Evil remakes. Just to get out of here, I went a lot more places than I thought I was going to go, even in the hospital. Lots of cool puzzles. So I'm going to say that the remake of the Silent Hill 2 is probably as good if not better than the original Resident Evil 2 remake. Resident Evil 3, yeah, it was okay. Regular 4 was pretty fun too. But I'm really digging the Silent Hill 2. Of course, I always have it on the easiest setting so I never really die. Once in a while I will.

But it's kind of freaky. I finally got a shotgun too. Just randomly in a locker. But all in all it's been pretty fun. I'm going to finish. I'm at eight and a half hours or so. So we're going to finish this one up up And then we'll go on to this I'm looking at some forever skies I'm thinking in in April my birthday is coming. I'll be 57 Thank goodness. I made it. I never would have if it wasn't for the fact that I've been

Cleaning sober since 2011 basically was a lifesaver there So well, yeah, so we 57 so April 8th is my birthday and I'm looking for a couple of games I'm gonna get the remaster for Days Gone of course. Best, probably one of my best if not best zombie games ever. Never finished it or even got a quarter away through it but with the remake it's only ten bucks I can do that and then I think I'm gonna get forever skies it looks pretty cool though it isn't first person but it's supposed to be like subnautical but in the sky so we'll give it a whirl it

wasn't too much only thirty one dollars I can handle that the games are I made a mistake by getting a monster while monster hunter wiles Not really a fan of it. It's alright, but it's so hard to just kill one thing It's kind of annoying that was like, you know 70 bucks. So no more that Until death stranding 2 comes out. I've already see I can already see the pre-order death stranding 2 and also Snake Metal Gear snake Metal Gear Solid Snake. Looks pretty cool too actually so those will probably be in the future but that's about it and I'm saying the outside catches my attention. Let's see what's going on in the world. So I've been up since like 5 530 I get up early this morning because I

was out there with my little buddies I sit my little my little my new guinea big we call him precious after I clean his cage I sit on the couch with him and he kind of sits on sits on my stomach it's pretty funny I want to get him to used to my other two guys never really can hey I couldn't hang out with them so I'm trying to get him in the mood. My other two guys never really can hang out with them. So I'm trying to get him in the mood. I put him on the couch too in the afternoon if my mother goes out. My buddy Precious sits on the couch.

I put a little pad down. Usually it's me, Roxie and Ranger, my two dogs. But now I throw him on there too. He just sits there and hangs out. He doesn't know what to do himself. He just kind of looks around. It's really funny. The dog doesn't bother him.

He doesn't really mind. I got a nice picture of them. I have a video too of him hanging out there. Alright, so on the news... I'm not seeing anything. Lots of football and just trades and things like that government's going crazy as always

all right so I'm not seeing anything else all right so let's go on to Etsy this morning I do have sales in a couple places. Let's go to Etsy. I have a message here. PS1. Let's see. PS1. I gave you the list. I thought I did. I just gave you the list. I thought I gave you the link. Oh wait, there's another guy with the screws too? Can't be. I didn't see the bottom screws. How much for just one screw? Oh yeah, so.

This is sorry. This guy's asking about one screw. Sorry. My minimum order is... Oh wait. I can add the screw for you. This is for about a PS1. It's two different people that asked me about a PS1.

The one, the this order. My minimum is this. I can add the one screw with this order. Okay, so we've answered his question. So no mess no Sales two different people so we got a feedback left listed product exactly as described Delivered quickly so that's cool. Try to get everything else You know It's going out the same day yesterday. I made it a special trip. Oh

So I sold a tube Really nervous about it, but I did the best I can. And then that's it. That's all I can do. So a tube is a video. I packed up a tube. I gave the guy a good deal on it and I shipped it out yesterday. I even made a second trip personally. I wasn't going to go back out again to the post office so I could get it out. So it was banging around in the mailman's thing. But then I had a lot of orders after. I may have a lot of orders today, we'll see.

So you can see it's extra packed. I put it in a foam cocoon, another box, and then I packed it on top of that because it has a yoke, so the whole thing of it is really fragile. And I gave it everything I had, so we'll see. It's got insurance on it, so I mean, it doesn't make it, I'm. So we'll see. It's got insurance on it. I'm hoping it should make it, but we'll see.

What else did I do yesterday? I worked on that thing for the day. Oh yeah, it took me a while to do that. I had lots of orders yesterday because the other thing I've done is I started a sale. I do them often, but I had a big one like a 30% off but after all the coupons and everything so it really ramped up my sales were really fast which is I needed it because the end of the month because as I always say eBay is my lifeline so I live basically by sale by sale because it's

my only income really. So we're at RSS feed and any downloads at all it's my only income really. I swear at RSS feed and any downloads at all. It's kind of a bummer, but It's still zero. So now we've got none in the last 14 days so that's And then last seven days I moved over to last 14 days because I've had any in the last seven days, but but haven't really done anything else trying to again again this goes to my YouTube as well but my downloads through the the rest of RSS feed have been zero but I haven't really have been doing much else with it just my morning

podcast here so it's pretty quiet that actually is as quiet as you can get zero all right so let's go to YouTube we were still climbing in there let's see what we're at now I haven't been promoting anything because right now I can't afford to do it even if even the five dollars I gotta find out what it's gonna cost me this month I'm at twenty nine thousand three hundred fourteen subscribers My Revenue is still thirty one dollars and fourteen cents Viewing hours is ninety nine point eight K watch hours is nine hundred sixty two point seven K seven point seven rather no K there No comments.

Let's see, again without promoting most of my top videos are really 3, 400. If I promote, like if I do like a 10 or 20 dollar promotion I can get up to 1,600. My number one video now is my life in a double shave at 6000 views So that's pretty cool. I'm gonna do another one when we for my birthday. I just hit my head yesterday But I'm waiting for So if I don't promote like I did in spron yesterday only have 12 years If I don't promote it at all

even with 29,000 314 subscribers and but I think lots of them are just fake or They just come in subscribing and they never look again. I even have a place to post to all of them, but it doesn't really help Kind of just is what it is at this point So but I always do videos and live streams daily anyway, cuz I'm always doing stuff Alright, let's see how my ae bay's going That's been really helping me out now well a couple things Go to a few more days of

the higher $50 fifty dollars let's see what else we have I'm not going to take that I'll decline that one I'll use what I got I want to sell stuff but I'm going to wait on that one it cost me twenty dollars to ship it I got to sell stuff but I'm going to wait on that one. It cost me $20 to ship it so I ain't going to.

I got to order so. And I, let's see my feedback here. Great seller fast shipping. CD defective zone, oh yeah he got that quick. It was the Sega CD. It's two different models of the Sega CD. There's two different models of the Sega CD. One is the MK4102 and then there's the MK4102A. And the A is the one I sent him and has the ribbon cable.

And the A was the newer of the two motherboards made. And it had no power. So I gave him half off on that. So that's my feedback. I only have a couple or oh my Dell Inspiron video card came in. It's a GT730 4GB DDR3

120bit for low profile for my Inspiron so we're gonna play around that and then only I have left is an Intel for Coming in so but we're gonna order a couple little things today. I finally have a little bit of stuff. I Need to get my PS Vita PS for Vita. I need to get my PS Vita, PS4 Vita. I want to, let's see, oh I sold a Tandy 1000 exact disk drive, pretty cool. I sold another port, some more inner outer screws for the Nintendo Wii, I sell those all the time. And I sold PS2 motherboard, PS2 FAD, the 39001, the GH-019 motherboard, and then some

intermedals for the GameCube. So since I started my little sale Things have gone up significantly which is great again is always bills to pay no matter what you do Yeah, so we've gone significantly, so that's cool So we'll get all that out today, and I'll do videos around that. Let's see what I look at that All that stuff has already been rate real pulled so I've been really trying to add more vintage gaming parts to my store and it significantly helps me out. That one just, I sold two things off of TN-1000HX and EX. I sold the keyboard of the HX yesterday and then I just sold the disk drive off the

EX today. So that's pretty cool. I have one of the disk drives to list actually. I was going to list the other one but I didn't. But I'll get that listed today. And the prices were pretty high because I knew I was going to do a sale. So, start out high and then you put the sale to get it down lower. Plus I also have best offers all the time as well so it doesn't matter what I have something priced at, someone's going to offer me whatever. If I'm interested I'll take it. I took a bunch of lower stuff but I wasn't going to do the... so this is the one that the guy offered me $50 is it SNK Neo Geo CD front motherboard. It's the whole motherboard assembly down the bottom part of it.

So it's no disk drive just the whole motherboard. So I'm gonna get a little bit more for that. Also I'll hold off on that. Plus I think I have it discounted anyway. Let's see what else is going on. So that's really the only feedback I have. So yeah, so my PS4 Vita, I need both, I'm going to order them this morning actually, the directionals left and right. I'm going to get a new left and right directional for it. I did a video taking it apart a few days ago.

But I was waiting to save up a little bit of money so that I can get some parts. And then there's something else I gotta get. Oh I need to get a from my Sinclair ZX Spectrum. I need to get a 8-pin to scrap output but I only can only find them in Germany so I'm gonna order one of those. Of course there's as much to ship it as it does but that's the only way you can get it. So I'm gonna get one of those and then what you do is you take that scrap connection and you connect it to a little box that goes from scrap to each DMI. I do have one although I don't know if it works or not So if not all I have to get that that's just so I can get video out into the TV at some point So that's the hardest thing on all vintage computing is all that trying to find monitors that

Everyone in those in the old days was different different RGB, then there's CRT and I can't I still haven't got it all correctly understood. I constantly have to keep going and asking my buddy Zippy which one is this. I have gotten a bunch of original monitors, more than I need, but I won't sell them. Again, I just shipped out a tube, my fingers and my toes are crossed on that one. I don't know what else to put it in. Again, I put it in foam, I put it in all kinds of stuff. So, it's going to Virginia, so we'll see what happens with that. I'll let you know either way, good or bad.

We always talk about the bad just as much as the good. Because I had the video of doing it, so you can see the video of me giving it everything I have. And then if something goes wrong then we'll talk about it. Alright, let's see. So let's see what's just a question about a screw. See, I can't ship just one screw. My minimum order now is $13.

By the time I put one screw in a little teeny box, even if I put it in a padded envelope, a small one, it's going to be over an ounce. It's going to be almost about five dollars now to ship even one screw. So therefore and then obviously Etsy is going to charge you for selling it so it's like another buck and a half. So almost seven bucks there. Yeah, so my minimum I gotta make a few dollars so people think I can just throw a screw in a Stamped envelope which is not possible because they'll feel that there's something in there And then they'll they'll charge you the five dollars anyway, so that's not you can't do that I've had something come to me somebody tried to ship it as a stamped envelope, and then I ended up having to had to pay the five dollars So minimum is $13. It's a door-to-door service Somebody tried to ship it as a stamped envelope and then I ended up having to pay the $5

So minimum is $13. It's a door-to-door service if you want one screw sure I can get you one screw but It's best to order something else with it and then I can just add that to it and that's what I gave him a message Yes All right, so it looks like it for this morning pretty cool Looking got a good little business going into the weekend. That helps me out. Cool.

And then we'll get some more little things I have to upgrade so that I can fix some stuff. And then we'll look at my other computer. I'm going to go to Apple today. Try to mix it up. I'm going to go back to my Apple Schmappel today because I want to retest the power board and I may sell another tube, we'll see and I also have a Radio Shack Model 4p downstairs that it's been sitting forever

It's got an upgrade for the board and video card I just need to spot wire something and I just haven't got back to it. So we're gonna pull that out I think. That would be fun. All right, so you guys have a good day and I will talk to you tomorrow. Make sure you come by YouTube.

I'll be doing all kinds of stuff today, tomorrow, every day. All right, talk to you later, bye.
