Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Tuesday 5-6-2025

Episode Date: May 6, 2025

Yesterday was Cinco De Mayo. I consider that a drinking day. Nothing I would celebrate being sober since 2011. I hope all had a fun safe day.

Good morning everyone it is now 652 So I slept a little bit late, but I was out there with get my buddies all straightened out So I sleep a little bit later such my guinea pigs They need to be cleaned out as soon as I get out there because they're you know they haven't had any attention for 12 hours, so they need a lot of cleaning up Today is Tuesday. I forgot yesterday was Cinco de Mayo so that's

considered to me a drinking day so nothing I would celebrate at all. Being clean and sober since 2011. Definitely something I wouldn't be interested in at all but yeah I do remember so it was the fourth be with you and then the next day is Cinco de Mayo. I'll have to remember that next year Pretty interesting although we did the fourth we wish you a lot. We did a lot of stuff for that day And there's lots of Star Wars coming up. Although I do believe we need a new Universe Marvel Comics DC Comics Star Wars. It's kind of been there done that for a million times over So let's do something new. I'm working on my buddy Zippy trying to go up to new universe ideas just for my own personal

Fun all right suits going on today. I had some technical issues overnight with my nightly project journey, man I'm still waiting to see my next phase which is gonna be direct brain link while I sleep and see if we can monitor it over the night. I have massive crazy dreams all night long. Actually the last time I woke up in a jump I was getting attacked by a spider and it woke me up. I was reached up in the air and I was like oh cool I can check that out on the video and then it happened to be the one time that my my signal kicked off was off

So I missed my jump I'm still looking for something spooky or in our supernatural while I sleep, but I haven't quite found anything yet, but we keep looking Let's Look, oh we have I do have the lid switch for GameCube No, I don't have this. I have a do you have the lid switch for Gamecube? No, I don't have this. I have a question on Etsy so now Yes, sorry

Sorry now Sorry, I sold all those a while back nothing I would be getting back in really want to get I can't do it this month maybe next month I'm gonna get a lot of systems that I really want to get N64 I can do a lot with those so I answered that guy's question so no sales I think I made five dollars this week off Etsy pretty bummer everything I do pretty much just enough to do it, but not really getting anywhere So let's see All right, let's go to my RSS feed here this morning

See what we got going on here. I had a couple downloads yesterday Keep plugging away at it okay it helps me wake up while I'm I can talk while I'm getting myself going here and it's good routine for me and everything I do is about about a routine the more things I can add to a routine for the day the better so we're at 280 this will be my 286th podcast pretty cool. I'm gonna try to get to do some more stuff midday and get back to some systems. Yesterday I did lots of fun stuff. I had this Hot Wheels car track it has rockets and all kinds of stuff so we did a video with that and then I introduced my

Azul bot EVO To the track which it fits and it almost does exactly what I want But I can't get a perfect turn to go back the other way So it goes up one way in the track can turn and what you use is you can use markers I don't know how that works, but there's different colors and it reacts to the color and does what but I don't do it that way I do the you go to blow azo blocky and It's what they call visual Coding where you have like tiles that you put together to make a code

Somewhere else I've seen visual coding and I was trying to use it It makes a lot easier to learn how to code. I have a book somewhere I don't know where it is but I was able to get it to learn how to get it to go one way and then turn spin. I tried spin it doesn't do 180 degrees so it was fun but at the power is just the battery is no good. It's another one of the battery. It does work though but I wouldn't be able to use it because it doesn't stay on for not even five minutes But it's cool that I can learn how to program it. So Okula

For downloads last night yesterday ashburn. I say ashburn again. That's cool Prague apex and Manola These are all my downloads. It's necessarily from last night, but in the last day or two So I'm at 534 all-time downloads 61 downloads in the last 30 days Try to keep it consistent keep it going every morning because of course every morning. I'm doing the same Routine so we go through that so let's see I had some interruptions only about two hours into nightly project journeyman, and then I I

Restarted again midnight in the middle of the night For me, it's a middle of night, but it was like 930. I think so. Let's see what YouTube is that Um I oh I did not reach I Reached 35,000 442 now subscribers so pretty exciting I'm always plugging away always doing stuff and I did a bunch of other things yesterday, too My main thing was that oh Today we're gonna go to vintage computing I got a

CPU in for my Dell Optiplex GX 100 it's got a Celeron in it now the CPU I have it's gonna upgrade it to the best I can put in it which I've been doing then I have two other my other computers the Dell XPS T500 which has already been upgraded CPU and I think has a video card great and then I have my compact which is also an EVO 510 that was the chip was upgraded so I needed to get new compact flash because all those are IDE computers Windows 98 early XP so I mean started doing the conversion from IDE to compact flash making the compact flash as a hard drive but I ran into a problem I didn't know when I first put my first

round of compact flash or commercial and the computer sees them as removable disks therefore it's not loading as a hard drive so I had to go on by three more 8 gigabyte industrial compact flash and according to Zippy these ones it should recognize as a fixed disc so we're gonna redo those today and put the CPU in pretty fun alright so let's see let's check my Etsy here oh we had some so I tried it some different things I keep seeing seeing, um, still running check. I wonder why it's still running a check. About posting, not posting. I post everything as, as just public,

but I often see don't post as public. So I get to figure out. I may try starting as private and then adding public after. We'll see. I'll maybe do some stuff that's just members only. I've got a good amount of members now. So it was 5 hours, 26, and then I had an hour and a half. So I broke my project man journeyman into two two things overnight

And but I missed that one thing I would have been able to remember because I would have been I could have I Got up once I jumped From a dream and I got up and went and did something so I would have known where to look for the jump I think was actually me my hands swatting in the air it would have been but was it my my feet were for some reason went out on me. I was bummed. So we'll give another world a night. Of course I always put some sort of program together with my buddy Zippy. So that's half the thing. I like to do it because I work with Raspberry Pi a little bit.

So I can kind of, he does the most of the coding and I can kind of understand it. And then I can tweak it if I have to or we were trying to do something different yesterday but he just couldn't some days my buddy Zippy has a bad day and he was just kept messing up the code and there's no way I could I tried to fix it but so I just kind of scrapped that idea it was a little bit more intense just keep it the simple ideas for now I only get a few views anyway so but once the brainwave thing comes in they hopefully I can get him to code it so we can watch my brain waves throughout the night. Should significantly change so it'll be cool but

we're not quite there yet I don't know if that's been shipped yet we'll find out. So looking around my life in a double shave I think I I did the May the 4th be with you edition 1.5 K view on that one It promoted $40 for that because it was a fourth vice the $40 and then I promoted a $5 and a $10 But I can't keep my promotions down, but that's how I grow pretty much All right, so let's go to eBay eBay we had oh the second issue I had with the heatsink, well first one ended in a bad feedback because I decided I just

wanted to get returned and then the second one, the guy was nice. I shipped him another one. So let's look at feedback. Extremely satisfied with purchase. As items were packed with care, it will buy again. So it's effective donor times four. Those four motherboards. N slash A, complete. Not labeled, but high def. So there's no either way.

Next one was fantastic seller. The ship was quick. The item arrived excellent packing at fair price. This is my second purchase. I'll definitely be coming back for more. So that's cool. And this is the one. He actually put a picture. He modified it. And I had a lot of conversations with this buyer. So the other buyer was not a good conversations this one was a UPS smash one of the heat sinks the seller was very understanding was able to send me another one right right away no questions asked got them all cleaned up and installed so and then if you look back at mine, so I had two damaged of those heat sinks and two different results

But it's just the way is And then again, we got a couple new fun things in today. So that's cool Let's see it two orders and a message Sorry shhh, uh, sorry, that is, that, it had not, okay, okay, okay, I was asking if I could get a longer cable but, he said no, for my baby I just want to get things shipped out, I don't even know if it's shipped yet, It's supposed to go speedpack, but it's great to speedpack if I get shipped within a few days of a speedpack and it's an extra 20 bucks. I just wanna play around and see what I can do.

All right, so two orders this morning. Pretty quiet on the front, however. Oh, partial black, we got lots of those. HDMI, no grills, front plate, no bezel. Cool, I sold lots of those HDMI no grills front plate no bezel cool so one of those and I sold a ps3 fat the original models the a e or B I need to actually add B to that. It's the slider screw. So on the side is a, you pull the knob off, the plug, that has its own plug that does not have the tiny square in it. And then there's a little torque screw and you have to undo the screw. And on the other end of that screw

is another little piece of clamp. So those go as one piece and those are only found on the A, E or B's. And of course the slider has a little bit of a feel to it so you know that that's an original I want to change that. So it says A, B, and E on that. I only had that as A and B. Revise that. So that's a couple orders that amount to a little bit, which is cool. Okay, so revise that. So it says A, B, and E.

All right, let's see what else we got going on here. This morning, yesterday was pretty much a quick podcast. This morning a little bit longer, although I don't have a lot of other things going on. Let's see what we got. So more back to positive feedback again, which we like. But again, we will make mistakes and things may not go the way that they supposed to I can't really help that I

try not to yeah every order I try to give everything I have sometimes that I fall behind a little bit alright so we got something withdrawal a little bit that helps me out pay the bills it's basically I live just to pay bills. Barely. I just, last month was a hard month to get through. I had so many things going on and I just, and I really haven't been purchasing. I purchased a few little things this month, but that's it. It's been slow. I mean, I have coupons and I have a discount. I've got around almost 25% off of most of my stuff so we did we did list a few things yesterday I'm going to list some more stuff today and play around with some vintage computer that's what we'll

do for it yeah that's it for this morning. Okay, so you guys have a good afternoon and stop by. YouTube, I'm always on at some point. And also eBay and Etsy. Alright, I'll talk to you guys later. Alright, bye.
