Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Wednesday 4/8/2025

Episode Date: April 9, 2025

I got my order directly from PlayStation in one day on my Birthday. Today we will set both up.

Good morning everyone. It is now very late this morning. It's 738. I'm working on my project journey man and I added a mask that I sleep with now. So man did I sleep late last this morning. And then I went out and did my buddies. Fortunately my phone kicked out. The signal ended at like 7 hours. Which is the moment because I would have a nice 14 hour stream but something went wrong with the signal we'll talk about that in my next podcast in my next project journey man or other so yesterday was my birthday of course it was you got to cherish every one I'm now officially 57 my mother got me

a cool thing for my birthday and then I got two things from the PlayStation. I ordered directly the Portal. I got the Midnight Black and I got the disk drive for my PS5 Pro. I'm all in now on PS5. No Xbox. I'm going to wait to see the next generation or maybe there's something about a handheld maybe next year so we're not gonna do anything with Xbox which I think most people don't anyway

because everything that I need Death Stranding 2 is coming out and now on PlayStation you can see all the just announced games like for 2026 a little bit better so that's cool and one of them looked really really fun down the road and I would say assume all games with AI and all that are really gonna make the next next leap generation especially with a PS6 which I believe that's sooner than later so yeah so I pulled everything oh

also I ordered PlayStation from directly from PlayStation it happened to me before I ordered it the night before my birthday and both came in one box for my birthday yesterday so I was able to open the box up and then I did a video and then I opened up each one just to look at them but I haven't set them up today we'll set up both a portal and the disk drive never had a disk drive I've had a portal before I had a portal and a the white portal and I had a PS5 Pro kept them both for one day and then I said trained it in way the pro was too big and it was a little kind of overshot my

budget so I had to get some money back so I lost on that but we'll get a pro I trained it in way the pro was too big and it was a little kind of overshot my budget So I had to get some money back So I lost on that but we'll get a pro another pro or not I mean, I don't really think I will except for the two acts the extra two terabytes I may just add a new an extra M2 Card in my slim could now I have the disk drive although I can put the disk drive in this Pro do I believe

I've never done it. So I got it apart. I got it ready to go. So we'll we'll get some time later on today and See what those two are all about. I have set up a portal before but since I got Since I got rid of the other portal Supposed to have cloud gaming meaning I don't need to leave my ps5 on while using the portal so we'll see so all kinds of fun stuff to check out but again I got it one day I ordered it Wednesday I ordered it Monday and it came in Tuesday for my birthday even better so well worked out pretty cool Let's go on to the news

Chaos is still Raining everywhere and the government Life cycle. Oh, they I just read that they they just de-extinct the dire wolf after 10,000 years That's interesting. So it's basically Jurassic Jurassic Park first Successful Jurassic Park as I would call it now the the dire wolf I wonder what that means. That's kind of a scary situation, but and I'm sure it's not just gonna end there now You know, there'll be people that are gonna wanna actually bring back Jurassic Park. Or at least some of the dinosaurs, right?

So interesting technology. We might be getting our society, humanity, might be at the brink of over technology, I think. And that could be a doom. But we'll see It's interesting to watch it. I Always thought that in my lifetime. I would kind of see the the end of everything I don't know why that is just feel like that's what's gonna happen, but I could be wrong

hopefully I'm wrong for everybody else, but It wouldn't really matter for me because when everything else ended, of course I would have too. But we'll see. All kinds of things I think about all the time. Asteroid in order to come in a few years. Alright, let's look at Etsy. Let's see what's going on here. Yeah, I had the craziest sleep last night. I wish I could have videoed it it was really fun I was all over the place and then what I'll do is later on today I'll review it's only seven hours I got in last night from my project journeyman oh a couple little so

I'm on Etsy a couple of memory flaps I sell sell those. But again, it doesn't matter. Minimal order now is around $12 on Etsy. But a little bit of a discount. So I make a couple dollars per order. Again, it's a door to door service. So I had a guy yesterday that I tried to help out. But he was mad. Because I didn't want to give him any sort of discount.

And then he left a positive feedback. But he dinged me so let's see what happened with that we'll look at that in a minute I'd like to make eBay my last thing to look at I said no more. I tried to help you out and you had to go and throw a ding in my saying I was rude or something. I don't know I am I I didn't want to

And I got it out for him the same day and he got it in a couple days And all I had to say was like a thank you. Oh, I had three downloads. That's awesome So a couple more downloads. I had a lot of Down time with no downloads, but we got a little bit more Chicago Buffalo, Toronto Awesome time with no downloads but we got a little bit more Chicago Buffalo Toronto awesome nothing to go I get any over across the world I don't see I see Canada it's my gets a little map here where I can see the dots the red dots and they're placed along the map across the world and you can kind of see what downloads have happened So that's pretty fun, and I always say it's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean wherever it may land On a daily basis pretty much

Cool. I'm at 258 podcasts I did my first Project journeyman day one through day seven. I'm putting that that is season two episode one and then when I get to my next So that gave me over 20 minutes 20 minutes is key for me for podcasts So I have a tomorrow today. I'm going to pull an audio out of the Sega Saturn video I did which is over an hour less than an hour and I'll do that as a podcast. Alright so let's go to YouTube bummer I could I wish I could have kept I would have had a 14-hour stream last night I'm really bummed out

I'm gonna check it in the middle I get up in the middle of the night I call it nature's calling in the middle of the night actually I get up in the middle of the night, I call it nature's calling. Uh, in the middle of the night, actually I get up twice for nature's calling. So we're at 31,548 subscribers. Yeah. So, uh, loved mom as a candy lady. Happy birthday. I guess I'm happy birthday. Uh, it's cool.

Very exciting. I had 248. Oh, it's let me look at that stream. It just ended. birthday uh... school very exciting at two hundred forty eight parts let me look at that stream it just ended i need to check my phone so the way i video with the phone is the screen is behind so i can't see it so i'm gonna have to take a peek at night make sure the videos this time it didn't uh... power didn't go off it was the connect uh Wi-Fi or the

connection so we'll work on it that was pretty fun too man I went to some deep places last night I haven't really started talking about anything but that's coming up it's very soon project journeyman and lecture So I'm just adding some things to my, and then I'll add some, I call them, um, session feed in print, uh, in prints, which will be, uh, spots. If I can see, I do a quick little run of my video look up, just to kind of pull through it to see if I can find anything that looks a

little off or out of the ordinary and then I will Yeah, I mark them and I'll make a little mark to start and then I ask anybody if they want I've been at anything yet. Maybe I'll never well, I don't know but that they can help me mark more spots if they see stuff Gives me a chance to go look through it hunt for any sort of maybe something is abnormal supernatural at best because that's what we're looking for of course of course I believe in supernatural that's why I'm doing this trying to connect I'm honestly really trying to connect and boy I connected last night whoo man did I connect last night, it was wild. Friday Journeyman, I did my birthday.

Birthday gifts, that was fun. PlayStation stuff. Gifts for myself, of course. But I do it also as a, for my YouTube as well. Share those items. Especially the Midnight Black Portal. But I'm doing I do it also as a for my for my YouTube as well share share Those items especially the midnight black portal. It's fairly new and the disk drive for the PS5 is pretty cool. So all right, so let's get some comments. I had a couple happy birthday comments, which is nice Loved mom as a camera lady.

Hope the day was lovely for both of you. Happy birthday, FF Gaming. I'm late. Happy belated birthday. Oh, awesome. Yes. Every year now is very precious. Now is very precious.

Just don't know. Every year now is very precious. Thank you. Yes, every year now is very precious. It was the best I can always hope for. Another happy birthday. I only had a couple of them, but that's cool. Just to have my small little family is all I want. I'll have a birthday of mine in two weeks or 22nd.

Oh, awesome. Enjoy your day. So this one guy, Timothy, he's always commenting. I have a couple guys that will comment pretty often. It's pretty neat. That's all I ask for. I don't want anything weird or anything off beat. So subscribers, I'm at 31,550 so we've gone up I promoted some stuff I

actually promoted my oh my life in a double shave 1.5 K which is significant compared to my any of my other videos and I only did that because I added $57 to it so I'm at 1,352 views and that's me talking about just I literally shaved twice I shaved my face and I shaved my head and I started calling it life in a double shape because then I sit while I'm doing it. I'm in the mirror for a little while. I had it live behind me, but I'm back to the mirror now one on one and I just talk about stuff. What's going on? Of course. Yes. Yesterday I was talking about my birthday and stuff like that. So you can listen to that and it's pretty personal.

Too personal, but enough just to get an overview of what I'm about and I just got a new razor so my cordless razor we used yesterday was freaking awesome it was so much easier to use that without having the cord banging around because I don't have that little video space to do it in so that's pretty popular that one that's doing good my other life in. So that's pretty popular that one. That's doing good. My other life in double shave that I had done previously, it got me almost 6,000 views. So that's my best by far. So let's look. I think that's still the best one I've had. But this one now is, yeah, my 5,518 for life double shave I did springing into March that was done March 11th

Gooni Gotham Goonies. Oh, I got a lot of five thousand one hundred and a lot of views for that my stop motion And my new YouTube creator wish list is at four thousand nine hundred ninety two. That's my last one-on-one And that's doing pretty well. I extra promoted that one too. But that's it for a while. Because the next thing I know I'll be at $300 I owe. That's how much I owed at $270 last month for promotions. And I've only made $100 plus before that I'm still like another, I don't know, probably like $600 in the hole

now. Promotions. But it's got me subscribers and it's my hours and stuff of watch. I'm hoping at some point it will either balance out or actually go into my favorite where I won't need to promote, but I just can't seem to get there. I really don't have anything else to throw at it that I can think of of what I do which includes my now my project journeyman my overnight I would have had a good 14 hours in last night we'll look

at that later I'm gonna do some session free feed in prints in a little bit I'll do that after I'm done with this all right let's go to eBay yeah I was all aggravated about this guy who left the message. I'm gonna read it to you I'm sure and then of course I replied to it and then I send the reply to that buyer Let's see if he $16 No, he didn't reply quick question. Do you have top loader 68 pins? No No, he didn't reply. Quick question. Do you have top loader 68 pins? No. Sorry.

Sorry, no. He wanted the pin for the 68 pin for the top loader. I don't have one of those. the 68 pin for the top loader. I don't have one of those. Electric $60. I would do that. Where's it going though? I gotta find it. I don't know how I put it. Yeah I would do that. Pennsylvania I can do that. Yeah I'll take that. It's a electric saw. It's a what's it called? W-O-R-X. So it works fine. The oil leaks out of it. I just don't know what the hell it is. I mean I do, but I think I moved it around so many times. So I had a decent offer, so we'll take that. All right. So let's, I'm going to read that. So lots of times I'll get feedback that it's positive, but yet it's not at the same time. And it's always a ding.

Oh, he says I was hostile, somewhat hostile. Of course I was hostile. I mean, I don't think I was hostile. I'm just upfront and honest. All right. So let's read that. Let's look at the feedback first besides his great customer. Do any things. Nice item fact shipping. All right. Here we go. So we'll read that. Let's look at the feedback first, besides his. Great customer. Many thanks.

Nice item, fact shipping. Alright, here we go. So we'll read this one. A seller was somewhat hostile when I asked if he could work with me on the price. The listing has best offer turned on. Of course it does. I decided against the purchase but ended up sending, but he ended up sending me an offer and I accepted it. Being a seller myself though nowhere near his volume I understand the cost and the fees associated. Maybe he was having a bad day. No, I was having a fine day. I just very front-up and honest. The item was packed fine, best, better than described. I would purchase from them again. Thank you for the fair deal

So I I so I I didn't personally send him a directly an offer I Always add 5% to all the off to all my listings as a just a Bulk offer I guess you could say so selling gaming parts over the years has hardened my soul to the core. It's been extremely difficult at best. Best offers are the biggest pain I have to bear.

Most buyers do not understand that free shipping is not free for me. Even one ounce now is $8 my cost out the door. United States Postal Service ground advantage. United States Postal Service has priced me out of priority shipping. I personally decline 99.9% of offers as most would be less than it would cost me to ship it. I am honest and upfront. This is a service door-to-door. I do for a few bucks. Pretty simple. You have the best offer just because it's there. I mean I would have took a dollar. I think I said to him I would have taken a dollar. I'll make a little video out of that later.

Because it's things like that I like to talk about. Because they're, I think they're worth talking about. Because again, there's two sides to every story. I only need the hinges, yeah, yeah, sorry. Sorry. My minimum, minimum order now is $13. So if somebody wants to take an order, it's $14, but those are hard to find.

The Sega Dreamcast hinge in spring. So buyers think, well I just need that one little part, can I have that part? And not the rest. And then of course they're going to want like half off of it, and then it's going to go below, we just talked about, below my cost of me shipping it. So I just put, sorry, no, my minimum is $13. So if you want that for $13, that's fine. I can do that.

Again, it's the door-to-door service. All right, so $50. I think I'm gonna take that too. Decided to take that. Where's that going? New Jersey, yeah, too. Decided to take that. Where's that going? New Jersey, yeah, yeah. So we'll accept that. I think it's time for that.

That is the... That is the Atari 800 XL. It's defective. It has an ALPS keyboard and then the top comes in the top cover. I had it for much, much more, but it's good enough. So we'll get that. So I sold a couple of big things because now I gotta pay for all.

So what I do with the things I got from PlayStation is I break it down into four payments with Carlin. I don't know how you say it, K L A R N A I've been doing this for a long time it's great for me there's no interest it's a lot easier to pay things in four payments it's been a really good thing that I can do I have another offer for $11 So although I'll probably take a little bit less than that, less than the $13, I always should just say it's $11. I mean it's $13 to my lowest offer.

Because again, you're nickel and diming me here. I'm down to $13 for door to door service and then you're trying to get me to sell tea for $5 door to door service. It gets old after a while. Again, that's why I say it's hardened my soul over the years. But I will always have best offers. It doesn't mean I have to take them at all if I don't want to they'll always be there And if you and then some days, I just need extra money, so I'm like alright. Yeah sure I'll uh Do that today. I'll take $11 like I just did instead of 13 It's just a small little this for the ps2 slim

front panel front logo on The slim it's just a little logo logo it's a little little it's as small as it's very small but it's it's a part and it's got to go door to door and I have to pay and I have to have it all that stuff so I've got to make four or five bucks off of all that process right oh then why am I doing it if if if I'm not it's right it would make no sense I'm certainly not gonna ship something

where I have to pay the buyer to ship it to him that ain't gonna happen so there's all those little stuff so we have three or I think I accept two orders there was one other order let's see what this one is orders there was one other order let's see what this one is. Oh so we just took that and the chainsaw. Cool so I just had that and the chainsaw I had to go find it. It'll be a hunt and it's gonna be real expensive although I did accept a big offer still half of it will be gone shipping it. Well not too bad because it's in Pennsylvania I I remember it I own, so once I find it, I

think I know where it is. I will box it up, I got a big box, I just got a big box when I got my PlayStation stuff in it, it may fit in there. I'm hoping. Alright, so that was like it for this morning. Yeah, alright, so you guys have a good day, and we'll do a bunch of PlayStation's new technology videos later And we'll work on project journeyman day 9 And I'll do those every night now So maybe I can find something supernatural someday alright, so I'll talk to you guys later alright. Bye
