Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Wednesday 1-29-2025

Episode Date: January 29, 2025

Today will be a SEGA Dreamcast Day.

Good morning everyone. It is now 6.33. Alright, so let's see what we got going on here this morning. So yesterday I worked on... Oh, what I did yesterday I did for my system. I did 3DO, Panasonic 3DO. And then I did... I topped it off with Atari Jaguar I went through the

cartridges and stuff like that on those two so that was pretty fun today I'm going to do we're on to the Philips CDI and also we'll do some Amiga 32 which is a European

kind of in that same era. Pretty fun games but they were well the Amiga 32s were a little bit better games. And so we'll do some of that. And then yesterday I pulled out all the rest of my Apple stuff. I have a few other things but pretty much that was it. All the different

little mini monitors there. Macintosh Classic and then the 5 2 12 k uh mouses are terrible i gotta find some sort of a i can't really even move around at all unless i maybe it might be the the i don't have the correct track uh i mean um mouse pad that may be the issue i'm not really sure but so we pulled around on those a little bit I've got one I know that doesn't work there's one more somewhere I believe I had

five total and then I also had that color classic which I took all apart and I listed lots of parts for that yesterday too everything left for that pretty much except for the monitor the Sony Trinitron monitor all of it's untested I

just don't know sold the front panel sold the front little label thing so we'll see I put a bunch of other stuff up everything I had left of it and again most of it is untested but we're gonna do all I tested my Apple there's some accessories I have I have two, three disk drives. The floppies, none of them eject. Even the ones on the monitor don't eject. The 512K, I've got a disk in there, I can't get it out. Even I tried pushing the button and I can't get it out.

So it must be a common thing. But I have a hard drive, a 20 megabyte hard drive. It's got like a couple games on it but it works and i have the manual so i'm going to sell that i don't need this giant hard drive that's pretty cool though so we'll get that one up listed maybe today and those uh those other floppy drives as for parts i've got one two three like i said one i'll keep i think the other one works i'm not sure yet and then I have a floppy drive for the Apple IIc as well so we'll test that at some point because we found out my other Apple

my little portable Apple IIc works it just needs oh I got a little monitor for it a little mini monitor a little mini me and it has a flicker to it but i can at least tell it works that's all i really care about all right so let's see what we got going on this morning here has been solved white house claims the white house claims that all those drones are approved. It says the mystery sighting has been solved. Claims this was not the enemy. All those drones. White House claims the Ivex seen in of New Jersey was authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Many drones were hobbies, recreational, private individuals that enjoyed flying drones. Okay. So they're saying those are all. It just seems kind of odd, but that's what they're saying. That's what they're saying. That's what they're saying.

Monster Hunter Wilds. That looks pretty cool. No games I really want to get until Death Stranding 2 comes out. So, three pages of Charlie Puck with Josh McNeil. That's cool. Let's see if there's any other news here. Habitable planet circling sun

discovered by scientists huge breakthrough another planet let's see so it looks nothing else oh American F-13 I don't see anything else in the news

oh I want to try I've been trying to load on to that deep seek but I can't see anything else in the news. Oh, I want to try. I've been trying to load on to that deep seek, but I can't seem to get it to load for me. It's the new thing for AI. I go to the login process, and I never can get it quite finished. It doesn't give me the code. When it gives it to me, it's way late.

And then by then I gave up, and then I try to go back and put the code on and it says it's not the right code we'll try it again today so deep sink seek we're going to see a significant amount of new ai stuff in 2025 and beyond it's just going to get really crazy very exciting though all right so let's look at Etsy I had an order yesterday at sea maybe another order so that's he also came alive which I thought it would just had to kind of sit on it a little bit and get it to get stuff so the bottom side loader the NES bottom case for the Super Nintendo so that's pretty cool that's about that so got a couple orders here and there I haven't still yet not going back to my cart to cart now i really need to keep it it's a subscription which is a pain but

i may have enough stuff up i want to migrate some more things from ebay that are over 20 years old and put them on my etsy i'd like to get up to 200 things on etsy or more actually it's really the only way I can do it. I could do... Again, it's 20 cents per listing. So I just can't throw every single listing on. A thousand listings, that's a whole... Alright, so that's one

order there. I think I had... Oh, I have another order from yesterday, too. So, two orders from Etsy. Yay. Etsy used to be my little good little side quest then it kind of stopped so i shut it down but now i went back to it and fixed some stuff and added some stuff so it seems like it's coming around cool all right so let's go to rss feed this morning see where we're at downloads only been a couple here and there. But I just like sending these out, like I said, message in a bottle. Over the internet ocean, see where it goes. I find it very fascinating.

So, I try to keep them going to a day. I started out with three, but that was too much. Two, I can pretty much. My midday is my hard one because I've got gotta keep coming up on ideas to make it gaming related now so then there's something changed I have downloads and then I have listeners huh what do listeners is listeners is in purple what does that mean so instead of they just listen to it instead of downloading it,

I didn't know there was a difference until right now. Something new that just popped up. Listeners. It says a listener is an individual who listens to one or more episodes of your podcast as opposed to a download, which they obviously downloaded. So what does that put in me? So maybe a lot of these that I think, when it says there's no downloads, they're actually listeners? Oh, that's cool.

I didn't know that. Oh, great. I appreciate anybody that comes along here. So let's see. It doesn't specify who's listening compared to who's downloading. It just says three downloads. 42 in the last 14 days of listeners. 43 downloads in 14 days.

So that's pretty exciting. Anyone is just great to me. To create something new on your own and have people actually check it out. It's pretty exciting. Especially if it goes around the world. That's even more fun. Where else can you do something like that? I did this as another thing to add to my YouTube. And it's actually one of the funnest things I like to do.

Especially in the morning here. Because I'm up anyway, so I might as well just chat about what's going on and I call it Groundhog Day because it's the routine is the same what comes out of it is completely different each morning so all right so let's go to YouTube speaking to YouTube let's see we oh we hit 15,000 subscribers actually I'm always over that so that was really exciting so what's we're right there I did a live stream yesterday later while I was playing around with all my Apple stuff and I also did a regular video across my podcast a couple shorts

so we're at 15,340 but as always my revenue is $31.63 and it says here my average duration was 6 minutes and 12 seconds which is a lot for me. Whoa, that's a lot.

No comments. Comments have been pretty, just a little bit here and there. So my view hours have gone up a little bit. They're consistently staying higher. Because I have more subscribers. But it necessarily doesn't mean that the subscribers I get are actually really watching anything. Other than just subscribing and that's it. You know what I mean?

So we got lots of... So I got some new subscribers to click on i i try to auto i wish it was an auto subscribe but there isn't i don't see why there wouldn't be it would make my life so much easier because of course if you subscribe to me i'm gonna i would automatically want to resubscribe to you right just kind of spread the spread it around so six minutes and 12 seconds that's pretty cool and i had some stuff oh my survival hustle is hanging in there how to uh finding your survival hustle in 2025 that was my last one-on-one and then i had a lot my little i had a crack in my road from the earthquake in maine and i'm in Rhode Island. It's a significant crack too, I thought. I was like, whoa, that's a big crack.

So we, of course, we promoted those. Anything that's like that, if it's not to do with my gaming or if it's all to do with YouTube, then I'll definitely promote it. Because I have a new hat coming in too.

Zelda hat coming in. Maybe tomorrow. Today or tomorrow. As soon as the hat comes in. We'll do another one on one. But I only like to do that maybe once a week. Because I basically talk really about the same thing. It's hard to come up with new stuff about YouTube. I can only talk about.

Where my YouTube is going. And I'm not professional at it. So I went the long way around to get to where I'm at professional at it so I I went the long way around to get to where I'm at the very very long way around so it's kind of hard to I guess if you're on my end you it's good to listen to the other side of it other than the professionals on YouTube they just talk about YouTube all right so let's go on to so we went to RSS feed YouTube of course be base my final stop here this morning I thought I saw two messages let's see you go back to those oh so we had a message here. No offense related to Dreamcast on this listing.

Do you have a spare VA 2.1 I need? I think I have one. So I think I have at least one. So we're talking Sega Dreamcast. There's the VAO original original board then the va1 and then there's the last one the va 2.1 i think at least one to sell not listed not listed yet i will look today so that'll see so normally if i see a message

about something this will trigger me to do that as some sort of a uh uh i'll do it as a video later on i think i have at least one to sell not yet listed. Okay. And then the other guy. I have to finish his thing about Sega. I don't know why he said no funds related. I don't understand what that is. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Alright. It says the power button door flap. It says I need the one piece. Curbside. I don't know. I don't understand what you mean. I do not. These would sell as a set.

These will sell as a set. Flaps will be $16, but you can offer $8 to go with the buttons. I was waiting to hear back. I was waiting to hear. Hear back from you. I will list. Sometimes buyers ask me about stuff. I get questions all the time, but then I never hear back from them. So I'm not going to keep progressing on something they ask me about unless I hear back.

Would be the point. I was waiting. Not wanting. Waiting. I put wanting. I was waiting to hear from you. I will list those this morning. So I'm going to list them at 16. He only wants one.

So set a set. All right. I'm just going to sell them as a set. I'm not going to just give them one because then I have one. I have nothing to do with it So alright, so I sent that out and alright says and then somebody asked me about the Is this the piece that covers the GameCube? No, this is the listing is for the

ports no No, this this is we Ports. No. No. This is Wii. Wii. Top hinge cover. I have the bottom port covers for GameCube listed. listed are since see order and you print out yet done print order get this morning ship feedback here me is a man may again i always say everything happens overnight i did not have any orders uh looks good best condition and price i could find let's see which one that one is for feedback

uh microsoft serial panel oh it looks great best condition and price I could find. Yeah, that's right. He asked me. First, the offer was really low. This is the side panel for the Xbox 360. The white panel. I sell them all the time.

But I have to sell it for at least $17. That's my listing price. By the time I get out the door, it for at least $17. That's my listing price. Again, by the time I get out the door, it's like almost $14 now. Again, I've got to make a couple bucks or it's not even worth it. Excellent as described, so that's cool. Feedback's been good.

I like when things are all good and positive. So I try to make it so that it's always that way. But it necessarily doesn't mean that's how it goes. Selling anything that's just it's really hard to find that one that color classic there if you look for color classic on eBay complete there and almost $1,000. So I break those parts down in a pretty high amount. I sold a couple things off of them.

Maybe I'll sell a few more. Alright, so I think that's it for the morning. Oh, I have one order I have to print out here. Yeah, so this was a multi order I had gotten this morning which was a few few things it's again for the 360 fat it is a top hot hard drive panel grill well actually a fan cover, white fan cover and then the serial cover side for the

Xbox 360 so that was one order so we gotta reprint that out didn't get a chance to print it last night I have lots of 360's when I used to get lots of stuff local, for every one system or anything else I would get,

I'd get like 10 360s. So I have amassed a major pile of them. And I still have about at least 100 left that are still intact. Other than the front panel, I took the front panels off. So this summer, when i start my mass recycle which is coming very soon i'm going to get a dumpster i decided and i'm going to get somebody to help me too uh i'll stop videoing all that that'll be pretty interesting to watch there is uh i gotta reorganize all the rest of my 360s that are still not torn apart yet and then i've got like 75 to 100 wee boards and those things take up a lot of space so we're

gonna reorganize all of that somewhere on its own so i can pick through it find some more stuff i pick off them but that's we're in the we're in the deep winter right now so that's that's forecasted somewhere maybe april i'll start doing it save up some money get a dumpsters are expensive even a 10 yard dumpster is expensive three four hundred bucks i need actually really need a 15 yarder to do to really get rid of a lot of stuff. My whole gazebo needs a 15-yard dumpster probably itself. But we'll see. So that'll be some really fun stuff this summer to check out. I'll make sure I video all of it.

Of course I will. All right, so that's it for this morning. Later on, we're going to work on the Philips CDI discs. Those are disc-based, as well as the the amiga 32 cd which is also disc based all right so you guys have a good afternoon and i'll talk to you later all right bye
