Episode Date: March 19, 2025

Amstrad CPC 64 and 128 Testing Day

Good morning everyone, it is now 7 o'clock. I slept down a little bit, but I was out there cleaning my buddies because now I have an extra buddy. My little guy, Precious, he's really cool. I take him out of the cage I have for him, let him walk on the ground for a little bit, put him in my lap. He's pretty gentle. Both skinny pigs are gentle, so he's a little still a little skittish, but they usually

are too as well. So I just try to give him a little little comfort and and then I clean out his cage And then I put it back in for now, and I have a Corral that I was using last all last summer for my buddy Brownie who passed away and my other guy's spot was still hanging in there, so we're gonna get that corral out I can't really put them together But I'll put each one. I'll have them out so they can run around that corral out. I can't really put them together But Each one I'll have them out so they can run around the corral for the day

So I gotta get that out. It's just a like a it's almost like a It's a pop-up thing. I think it's really meant for a kid or something But it works perfect for them. That's really light through a couple pads in there And then they can kind of they don't really move around that much I try to get them to to get some more exercise but they don't they're they just kind of like eat and then they sleep pretty much but they're up all the time so guinea pigs are cool they're fun they're a lot of work a lot lots of easier cages now so they're not as bad to clean but I got to clean them twice a day as soon as I get up I have to clean all the pads and everything they have to

start with a fresh cage and then before I go to bed I do the same I give them another fresh cage my hamster is not I don't really do I just cleaned out my hamster a couple days ago my little buddy rocket he's all cleaned up for a little while and then my bird bird and I have to clean him all the time too for one little birdie he poops a lot They all do Alright, so let's see what's going on a little bit earlier later start this morning, but

Let's see what the news is going on looks like some ceasefires But then the other one that was a ceasefire is no longer ceasefire. So yeah It's kind of you can't really go with that some new games coming out of course I'm waiting for death training to subnautical to my favorite ones I think but there's other stuff too 2025 is gonna be a good gaming year for 202626 and beyond is going to be really good because then we'll get the newer systems like PS6, more AI stuff. I see yourself playing a game and then finishing it and then being able to play a completely

different game because AI will redo it for you. Something like that. That's how I see things changing. Or you're in the middle of a game and AI gives you a choice to go portal to a completely different game. But it has some sort of relevancy where you are. There is a game that, oh, Alan Wake is like that. Alan Wake has a portal, I call it the, what do I want to call it, Multi-portal game no so I I'll make to playing for a long time

And then there was a thing on a little TV that you clicked on and it took me into a game where I was a waitress fighting zombies Really funny. It's the first time I've seen that like multiple multi portable portal game of a different game Still I'm still relevant because the waitress was is in the game itself But she becomes she gets a shotgun and you can play like a shooting game Killing a bunch of zombies. This is really funny. So I see a lot more of that happening Quite multiverse not like a multiverse but a multi Play verse multi game verse. I'm calling a multiverse, not like a multiverse, but a multi-play-verse? Multi-game-verse?

We'll call it a multi-game-verse. Yeah, alright, so we'll say it's a portal to a multi-game-verse. Meaning you're in a game and all of a sudden there's something you see that's part of the game but not really, so you click on it and then all of a sudden you're in a completely different game, but it's still relative to the game that you're in a completely different game but it's still relative to the game you're playing or even better it would be you click on it and you'd go to a completely different game so we're gonna call that a multi game verse yeah that's what I'm gonna call it so there's little portals within the games and for Alan Wake the little portal was a TV you clicked on it and you went to being I think it's Rose the waitress

and you start fighting all kinds of zombies are running around shooting chasing you and you shoot you and you're killing them pretty wild so multi-game versus what we're gonna call it pretty cool all right so let's see what is on the docket today this morning. So let's go to Etsy. We stopped in Etsy, not many sales lately. I've had a couple here and there. But every little bit helps. So I live by the sales basically.

So I gotta get some more stuff listed on Etsy. I will do that. Okay, so go to my RSS feed Still the weather hasn't quite broken yet. I haven't got motivated to get outside but We will there'll be a massive amount of stuff. Don't be I'll be doing it outside at some point Usually it's one of those things where I just have to get motivated and then I could spend a whole day just I got to tear one room down get everything out of it so that I can bring all the there's a middle room in my back of my house that I made that's pretty dry and that's where all my crap is right

now all the crap is everywhere but so I had one download 76 so far let's see what we got here yeah so I got to clear out that room and then that's gonna be where all the stuff that's in the house and we still have Christmas stuff up Hattiesburg St. Paul oh United Kingdom perhaps Epson Epson I want to say Milano United States always exciting I welcome anybody that comes in. It's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean for anybody to listen to.

And again, of course, you always go to my YouTube page. I have tons of videos, thousands of videos actually, and I'm always doing at least a few a day, live stream and overview and some shorts and all kinds of stuff. So there's always something, I mix it up every day. So yesterday I was doing, I ended my day yesterday doing Apple computers. I have some M, Apple Classic, no not Color Classic,

Apple Classic, Macintosh Classic, M1420. I transferred a power supply from one to another, and it worked. Then I realized the power supply that didn't work, I pulled out, it had no fuse in it, so I'm not sure if that's the issue, or it just doesn't. So, but I think that power supply doesn't work either way.

We're gonna have to retest it, and we're gonna have to transfer that back over and then put the fuse on. It's pretty easy to swap the power supplies in those. So we did that for a while. And then earlier during the day, I was doing PS2 Slims. Spent about an hour on 70, 75, and 77 models. And some of them were Japan, some of them were Japan some of them were US just get an overview what a few of them I've got about 40 of those or so most of them are

in that range of models some of the 012s as well so we were looking through them. So that's what I did yesterday for some videos. Let's see what else. Alright so let's go on to YouTube. We've been growing significantly. It's been very fun. I like to think watch things grow. Try to do stuff that's entertaining and informational. So we're at 28,218 subscribers. Very cool. My revenue has gone up a little bit more. $28.93. That's maybe the highest it's been in a long time. My Gotham Goonies and all my other ones have gone way down because I stopped promoting. I was moving through and only heard a got a little See Let's see. See it says so the minutes Let's see average duration

Two minutes and 55 seconds. So, let's see. We have a comment. It sounds like it's Got a little Pete I rescued till I... yeah. I just... Add... Yes, I just add... Adopted... Add... Adopted a... Free... I did a furry friend. I was doing small talk while opening my package.

Alright, so let's see what else is going on here on my YouTube. So that was just a message about me talking about my guinea pig that I just got, my little buddy who's really cool. So I promoted maybe one thing yesterday but kind of have to oh yeah so I was doing I was transferring my power board yesterday that was fun I still got to continue on that but I'd like to just I'm gonna do something completely different today I have to pull out all my armstrad CPC the 64k and 128 those are European computers I get the monitor and everything and lots of discs and so we're gonna go we're gonna play around that stuff today it's pretty fun so it's a lot more computer stuff but

it's also gaming because it's lots of games. I got lots of games and stuff. And we will look through all that if you've ever seen an Amstrad. There was a point where I was going around the world. It cost me a lot of money and I'm in a debt consolidation. I've got about another year and a half to go to get out of that. So that I could learn about every system I ever made I went out and tried to find one Which I did pretty much Some most of it I resold all those gaming systems, but there's tons of videos of them However some of my kept so the Amstrad is a computer system. It's really cool

There's one's a cassette and it's built right in and the other one has a floppy, but I changed over to a go tech But I haven't tried any go tech stuff on it yet meaning I just download stuff and put it in there so we'll go through all that today I think I've been meaning to get to it it's been up on my shelf and I'm like oh I want to play around with that even the old games on the cassettes are pretty fun so we will definitely do that. Alright, so let's go to... Let's go to...

Uh... Worst Video Game Sequels of all time. Let's read that for a minute. There's a few of them that were really bad. Devil May Cry 2. Never was really a fan of the Devil May Cry series. Sorry Bomberman was an act zero. Oh Huh? Bomberman school. It's like it's like Pac-Man with bombs Sonic the Hedgehog Tony Hawk Starfox Adventures

Resident Evil 6. Yeah yeah but it's classic now although it was such a different. Metal Gear Survive is is one of the best games ever. Are you kidding me? Metal Gear Survive? If you've never played Metal Gear Survive, it's nothing to do with but it is really cool it was is really cool. It was really really cool. That was a really hard game to play. Not many games I play through is a survival.

It's uninteresting. I thought it was really cool. Melodica Survival. They put it in there and... I disagree with that. Fable 3 would be one I would say would be one I would put in there. Huh, alright, so let's finish. Let's go over to eBay. What's going on? Just a couple things. So let's see what they are.

It's okay. Don't cost much. It's okay. It does, don't cost much. It's okay. It doesn't cost much. You don't have to refund me. Let me keep checking. I will find them at some point to ship you. I just... I just... misplaced... those. Sorry for my mistake. So I just had the one message in regards to... once in a while I can't find something. And I lost something.

Let me keep checking. I know it's somewhere around. It's the Nintendo Wii. There's two grills. There's a long grill on the outer case. And then there's a small grill over the fan on the on the outer case and Then there's a grill a smaller grill over the fan on The outer shell I should say And I saw them as a two-piece, but I lost the little ones I got a few long ones left, but I can't find any more my little ones So sometimes I don't

It's really the hardest part of selling gaming parts is The fact that you have to keep even a small stuff We got more feedback here. Let's check it out And as I pull it I got to put it into something like a little Ziploc bag and then that Ziploc bags got to go into some sort of a box And then I've got to be able to find the box or the Ziploc bag so it gets go into some sort of a box and then I've got to be able to find the box with a Ziploc bag so it gets very very confusing. I have no way to do this. I don't do it in any sort of a good way. So it's just kind of random. Let's look at my

feedback this morning. Texas Instrument TI keyboard. Good shape, well packed. It's the SEJ, SEGIN. There was two different keyboards. Three, actually. One is the SEGIN. We're talking Texas Instrument TI-99 slash 4A. This is the more sought after one is the ALPS, A-L-P-S. Then there's this one, the SEJIN. Different models of the same keyboard. Well, not the same keyboard, different keyboard, but made for the Texas instrument.

Sold all those. They're very popular. Next thing is the three-pin NIDEC fan for the Xbox 360 fat. That's quote unquote quieter. So I sell them for a little bit more. They're hard to find. And you can tell by the black labels, so there's no whites on the outside. So if you don't see the whites of the eyes as I say,

you know you have one of those in there. And then Perfect was two power buttons I'd gotten. I sold for the Dreamcast Just I'm just a button so so again all good positive just way like things And I did order Another I'm still planning on my desktops

I'm gonna resell them. I think after I get them set up So I ordered a small Another I messed up on some of my ordered oh that's what I was doing my desktop yesterday yeah I worked on my piece my CPU upgrade and my video card upgrade I messed up on both of them I don't know how I did that so I have an extra video card and a CPU some reason it was a AMD it was the wrong one so I ordered a different one they're only a few bucks so not too bad let's see my one order is and then my video card I some reason it wasn't a APG and I don't know how or AGV be rather so I just have one order for all of the the grill set for the bottom of the top of the Xbox 360 S1439.

So I sold one set of those. That's really my only order for the day. So quiet day overall. It's been pretty much quiet all week really. Sold a few things. So I gotta get back onto the uh, listing some more stuff. Things get quiet. Well it's kinda mid week so. For me, selling things is so random.

Some days I can have nothing and other days I can have more than a few things. But not, not, I don't really get those as much as I used to so therefore that's why I've been trying to make my YouTube into my second income hasn't quite panned out quite yet but we're getting there so well that's my morning here let's see what else we got going on there so feedback is good if I go back to YouTube here let's see so my average, like I said, is 2 minutes and 55 seconds. That's pretty cool. 22 views.

I've had all kinds of views for different things. I try to keep randomly putting stuff up. Today we're going to do something completely different. I need to do a new one-on-one, which is in my forecast of things to do. Most my average videos are about 225 226 if I promote it I can get up to into like 1k 1.4k my goonies oh I'm gonna do another stop motion too that's's coming. I have ideas. I've got to come up, scrap some stuff together, and make something kind of fun.

So we'll work on that. That's about it this morning. So let's see. Try to get to the good 20 minutes. Yeah, we're just about there now. So I like to hit it with a good 20 minutes. Etsy's quiet. No new feedback.

I can see all my, I always check every feedback on Etsy and eBay. Because if I see something that's brutal or if I made a mistake, I like to do damage control. Very important that you tell your side of the story on feedback. So I'm always amazed when I see other people's feedbacks. Obviously everyone goes right to the negative and then they get slammed with something and then they never reply to it. How could you not want to reply to someone that bashes you? Especially if you've tried to do it right and you made a mistake or it's just a buyer

of the issue. So luckily everything's been good lately but I'm sure something will come up eventually and we'll talk about it. Plus that's what I also do. If I get something negative, the first thing I'm going to do is put it on YouTube and talk about it. Because why not? I do got to talk about the good stuff and the bad stuff.

Most of it's good. Three-quarter, I mean 99.9% of the time everything's good and positive. However, if you look through my feedback, you can go to my negative and neutrals. I've got a lot of them actually. More than I used to have. But they all have a story. Everything has a story to it. On my end too. So.

Alright, so I think that's it for this morning. And you guys have a good afternoon. And I'll talk to you tomorrow. Alright, bye.
