Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Tuesday 2/25/2025

Episode Date: February 25, 2025

I am going to make this a GameCube Day.

Good morning everyone. It is actually late this morning 713 So we've got three good days. I slept in a little bit Didn't really go to bed any later. I just slept later But we have three good days of 50 degree weather so I'm not really gonna do much outside But it's just nice to know that it's on its way And then the forecast going forward seems like we're gonna hit a little bit of cold again And then we're starting to see more the 40s and 50s, so that's cool So I think we're on our way, and I think as I said yesterday. I think that we set our clocks

spring forward So you lose an hour sleep? Coming up very soon, so we'll go back to the normal Savings time I don't know what did what for on daylight savings time now. I think we are and we go back to the normal savings time I don't know what did what for on daylight savings time now I think we are and we go back to the normal schedule so it kind of messes you up a little bit going back and forth and I've always lived where there's always been three seasons so I so we're always going through the highs and lows of a long season, winter, and then you get into

the spring, which is great. And then in that long summer, even though it's nice to be in the summer, towards the end of summer it gets really hot and you're just kind of sick of it. And you're like, oh, I can't wait for winter. So it's always that ups and downs. And then you get the mids in between, then get the fall which is awesome so so falls and springs are the best but End of winter and in like I said even the end of summer is kind of like blah Definitely end of winter though not as much in there some but still you still start complaining about being too hot and muggy and crazy weather and all that so So they have pretty much to always lived in Rhode Island so we've always

had I've always been around seasons so probably won't plan on really going anywhere else so we'll just kind of live out my life in the seasons just kind of to go through the highs and lows like I said but I'm mostly always inside anyway so they're really matter either way all right so let's see what's going on here late morning yesterday I worked on some Sega I was doing Sega 1631s the dreaded motherboards although most the ones I have were version VOZ VA 0 VA 1 those all kind of worked pretty much I had some that broken LED light on them or the power ports loose or there's a little bit static so those little ones I was doing yesterday I have I thought I have two 2.3 versions which are pretty

good and then a version 3 VA 3 which if you're gonna get one of those you want to have the va 3 And I also have a va 4 va 4 being the last board of the Sega Genesis 1631 alright, so let's just go on this one. Let's check the news And Rodgers is going somewhere else And Rodgers is going somewhere else Let's see what we got going on the government's going crazy as usual But It's going somewhere I'm not really sure where it's gonna go, but it's definitely going somewhere definitely a new direction that's definitely needed so let's see not see

anything really jumping out all right so let's go to Etsy this morning. Let's see what we got going on. I had a couple orders on Etsy yesterday, so that's always exciting. I did add more stuff to Etsy. A little bit bigger in stuff. I'm still waiting for something. But I have not seen it yet. It's coming. So we checked my feedback looks good I got my orders out

for Etsy yesterday pretty cool I've had sold two thousand and forty three things on Etsy over the years but I took a big three three month break and I think since then I think I sold about 40 somethings. So pretty cool. And I have 192 things listed. I'm gonna go to my export store and do some more listings, add some more listings. All right, so let's look at RSS feed. So this is where I upload my podcasts,

podcasts every morning and Then we then they go out to as I called for the message in a bottle over the internet ocean Wherever it may land which is always fun. You never know I'm just down to one per day. Oh, this is unusual. I've had four fourteen downloads Yeah, we go. That's pretty cool. So I think if I keep pulling this out, so I've had I've never had it for I've never had 14 downloads before that's pretty cool Very exciting new people. I appreciate anybody that likes to come in Maybe it's just just, there's only like,

it has a map and it has little red dots on the RSS feed here where I can see kind of where people were downloaded from. Ashburn, always Ashburn, I appreciate that. Potomac, that's pretty cool, they had 12 downloads. Interesting, it says 14, but I can't see. So that's pretty neat. Canada, Toronto, appreciate it. Hudson, United States.

Forney, United States. Cool, I've been in Europe in a while, a little bit. I was doing some across the pond there and in Asia and stuff. So, haven't seen much of that lately, but it's cool just to have anybody that downloads your stuff. I try to do some good content in the morning. My groundhog day again, as always revolves around.

My basic routine I do every morning. I did get my little buddies out of the way first this morning. I got up late so I was out there. I have a bird. I have a little rocket, my little hamster. He's fairly new. And then my guinea pig spot. So I like to get those guys all cleaned up as soon as I get up.

Change all their food, water, spot. I change his cage a little bit, and then clean him up a little bit. So if I sleep late, I like to get them done first, because that means they've been, and they depend on you 110%, you know, without you going in there and doing anything to their cage, they would, you know,

bad things would happen. So I always make sure I'm in there. And at nighttime, before I go to bed, they all get fresh new water, food, change the cage. So I do it twice a day. And then in midday, I will add some food and water and stuff like that. So it's a very much part of my life.

It gives me that like sense of caring, you know, which is really, really good to have, to learn. Learned a lot from my little buddies. Definitely have. I'm only down to a few. I had a whole bunch of them, but unfortunately they're heartbreakers. Their life cycle's not that long.

Although my guinea pig has lasted. I just lost my brownie just a few weeks ago. Really bummed out about that. And I had Mr. Bear, who I really liked. Mr. Bear, the hamster, he passed away about a few months ago, really bummed out about that. And I had Mr. Bear, who I really liked, Mr. Bear, the hamster, he passed away about a few months ago now. But yeah, the legs, so it gives you that, it helps you understand the passing of something.

Normally when I can tell that they're getting ready to pass on, I'll sit down with them, put them on my stomach or something, and just kinda pet them for a little bit, and you can tell that they're struggling, get them all comfortable, sort of like a hosp just kind of pet them for a little bit and you can tell that they're struggling get them all comfortable Sort of like a hospice kind of situation and then then they just passed Then I bury him nice put a nice little put him in a nice little box and find a nice spot for him So that's really helped me out

Over the years. All right, so let's go on to YouTube. We were climbing. We're always climbing on YouTube. I've got more ideas for YouTube other than what I do every day on YouTube. I just... The thing I want to do is going to take a while. Oh, I was doing wheeze yesterday. I had another stack

of wheeze. So I pulled those out. I found some really fun stocked-up wheeze. So I pulled those out. I found some really fun stock, I call them stocked up wheeze. They're all home brewed. And they are all, yeah they're all home brewed. Just about all of them. And they all got loaded with lots of stuff. It's really fun. I like finding those. And they're ones I never had. I didn't make a homebrewed thing. I do have the homebrewed thing to do it, but they were already done.

I just turned them on and it was all this fun stuff on them. So right now on my YouTube, I'm at 19,616 subscribers. In the last 28 days days I've gone up 4780 says my average duration here is nine minutes and 23 seconds. So that's a lot However, as always I say my revenue has not changed this month $28.09 My wacky wizard. That was my first my second stop motion That got me one. So 1.9 K a Yodicity. That's when I did move in my

I'm gonna do it. I did that in the vertical view, but I got some views in that one I put a little money on the promoter for five dollars here in there All right, so let's see that's gonna be that Everything else is pretty much... Oh, I did one live feed yesterday. Yeah, we're doing Sega Genesis. So I've tried to get my live feed up at least once a day. As much as I can.

I try to keep it consistent. But at the same time, trying to look for new ideas. To grow my YouTube. Just give people lots of different stuff to look at. So, and I'm waiting for a silly hat to come in. I'll do another one-on-one, which we'll talk about how my YouTube is, but it really overall hasn't really changed,

although except for the growing amount of subscribers. But I still go on to another one-on-one but I like to do with a silly hat and I ordered one and from Europe I don't know if I'll ever see the darn thing I should have paid a few more bucks and I could have got it just local and yeah United States that is it's a funny the cosplay Zelda airmuffs with little ears on it and stuff pretty cool I thought it would be a fun hat to have it's not really a hat more it's more airmuffs But it's still something silly just throw in your head while you're doing one-on-one So when that comes in we'll play around with it if it comes in

Alright, so let's go on to eBay eBay has has sold a few things, got the rest of the weekend done yesterday. I know it's significant in a lot of orders, but I had enough. Keep me busy. Let's see what this morning brings. Oh, we got some numbers here. So let's see what message is. Let's see if it's all messages. Oh yeah, it looks like it's mostly item delivered. So I have a return. I'm going to do a quick little return log.

It's something I shouldn't have had a return on it, but it did. So I just had to take it back. Ten dollars for... $10 for... No, I'm not doing that. So I'm not taking anything with $10 anymore. I'll take a dollar off for my real low stuff. And definitely no, no, if you put change, I said talked about this for If I have some of my listings are most of the listings are my minimum now is $13 So if you come at me with change as an offer like this guy is $12.40

That's a heck. No rid of that anything that's got change in it. I don't want to hear it Though my things are low enough. You don't need to throw me an offer knocking me down when we change. Because they always say free shipping isn't free for me. About $8 might cost out the door. So if you're throwing change at me it means you're pulling change out of my what I would have made and I didn't have it in there. I declined 99.9% of the time because it's only gonna leave me a couple dollars so what's the point or why am I doing it? If it's a big order offer so 50 see these are all 58. These are half off prices. I'm just not doing that I

Just just client all if you give me a half off. I'm not having a half off sale I've had half off sales, but not not So I've just declined every Yeah, every one of these've just declined every one of these. I just declined. I'd rather just keep something than never sell it. Then sell it for a little bit. Especially that one.

Halo 4. I have a cool Halo 4 set. I rebuilt it the best I could. The guy's only offering me $100 less less than I have. I don't hear that. I mean I'll take 5 bucks off if I'm lucky. Alright let's look at, I think I had one more. So let's see what this one is. Alright so this one I will take. My Soundbox motherboard. Yeah, I'll give you that one. Yeah, I'll take that one.

That was for the Super Nintendo. I sold all the Soundbox motherboards and the ones without Soundbox. You can get, they have either or in them. I sell them as defective donor. Most stuff I sell as defective donor because most of it is. But buyers still use it for lots of stuff. Alright, so let's check out my feedback. Let's see. this was the Microsoft, I had a motherboard the 0405 1.6 motherboard

and it had an AMD Duo chip on it, so I sold it to this guy, it says interesting to see if I can revive this board, so he's gonna see if he can fix it. That's cool. Second one was a power supply received item in good time excellent condition for use part although not resolving my specific PlayStation Pro troubleshoot. The part is leagues above the original that was replaced. So he replaced it and it didn't fix his issue but he was a good buyer and didn't return it on me and I appreciate that. That's what I call manning up. If you get something and it doesn't fix your issue or you order something and it wasn't

what you... you didn't read it, read the listing or do something correctly, you man up and you keep it or just resell it. Don't send it back to me because that means I have to pay the shipping to get it to you, all the hard work to get it out as quickly as possible the same day and then you're gonna return it on me because you made a mistake and then I have to pay the shipping backwards back so I had to pay the round trip for nothing so that's a bummer but this guy obviously it didn't fix his issue but but he didn't return it. I really appreciate that And then the last one is Gamecube all

Metal inside I saw lots of those great seller fast shipping So, let's see oh I did get yesterday I think I believe I got in my today I'm gonna work on Atari I think I believe I got in my today. I'm gonna work on Atari 1040 STF Motherboard there's what they call a t-dos chipset inside six of them if it's a socket I can take things off, so this is a six chip set socket Upgraded to rainbow 1.4, so that's what we're gonna play around with later on today after I do orders and stuff getting a late start here so it means I have four orders and see it's funny when I'm up this early and I just declined an offer and I already got another counter. Let's see what we got here. Yeah.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Alright, so let's uh... $61. Alright, so my four orders... Oh yeah, today I'm gonna work on the Nintendo Gamecube. And good segue into that is because I sold one of the spindles. So I gotta retest spindles today. Cartridge slot I sold for Super Nintendo and then I sold four pin power supply no for the Xbox 360 fat there's the NIDEC fan it's supposed to be quieter it's a four pin this must been the guy that only offered me a lot less or something I can't or he had change in his offer so I declined it so I

have that and then I have a bottom 7001 powers ps2 slim 7000 bottom case just empty case so I sell stuff lots of things I sell are the outer cases, covers, pieces to a top cover, pieces to bottom covers, buttons. Those are all the things that people really look for. As opposed to anything that's inside, working or not. It's all the other stuff. I try to have a lot of that other stuff listed because that always sells. I don't really get a lot, but it does sell. So I've got a few orders this morning, so that's pretty cool. Let's see what else we got going on here.

So everything looks pretty positive this morning. We like it positive. Again, I had a bunch of offers, but nothing I was interested in at this time. Some of them were way off, so again, I won't even, I don't want to hear it And if it's something special I'll just keep it for myself it's nothing I need to I don't need to rush it out the door Once in a while I might I mean if I have a really big I had a real couple of really high-end things

I took a really low offer I had a couple of really high end things that I took a really low offer. Just because it was like, all right, it's time to let that go. But not often. Not half off, definitely not. I mean, I may take like a hundred dollars off something that's a few hundred dollars. But normally, if it's a $13 listing. I'm not going to take off $5 and Or $9 change Alright, so we're gonna go with that all right, so you guys have a good afternoon and

Keep an eye on my YouTube. I'm always putting videos up on I will get back to doing a second podcast Still working on thinking about it I'm always putting videos up. I will get back to doing a second podcast. I'm still working on thinking about it. But I'm always doing fun videos, so make sure you come by and check out what's going on. Try and get some more creative stuff going on, so we'll work on that too. As we go forward here, I'll always be on, so you can hear me every morning,

unless God forbid something were to happen, you would know something's up, because you don't hear me anymore, or no more videos. But I think I'll be around for a while. So, pretty cool. All right, so you guys have a good day, and I will talk to you later. All right, bye.
