Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Wednesday 5-7-2025

Episode Date: May 7, 2025

This is always considered the Hump Day of the work week.

Good morning everyone. It is late this morning. It's 730. So normally as I say when I get out, if I get up late, it was up and down all night a few times. My sleep was off. But I was going to take care of my buddies, clean them all up because they've been on their own all night too. So they all need to be cleaned up. Especially my guinea pigs, they're just waiting for to be cleaned and refreshed with water and food and cost you my birdies. He's already tweeting away And my hamster needs to be cleaned up, too So yeah, we had a little

It was a little bit harder. It's getting hot now. So my little pot area where I do my nightly Project journeyman sights and sounds is get that area. It's hot. I won't be able to do it too much longer But we'll do it for a little while. It's fun. I had a new thing each night. I've been learning a lot about Raspberry Pi Five while I'm doing it so But we'll see all right. Let's see what's going on this morning. Let's check the news So June the red Nintendo Switch 2 comes out pretty cool. Nothing I could afford and if I had to get one I'd have to do it on eBay prices and that is way out of my league right now and I really

don't need a Switch. I have all the main Switch games on a Baxera on a computer to play but yeah I didn't play him we lost the second plane this week jet plane and eight days it's pretty terrible quantum theory of gravity brings long sought theory of everything a crucial step forward oh actually everything actually really works but we're all in it just in the simulation anyway so doesn't really matter what people think would they seem to come up with That's my bottom line I think on that All right, so

I'm not looking at the news. Also today is the 5 7 7th 2025 and today is Wednesday. I think today's a Wednesday, yeah. And again, we're just plugging away through June already. I mean, May. We've had some rain. Yesterday was pretty rainy all day. Most of the rain we've had in a while. I think today and tomorrow kind of the same way, but nothing too major. Again, why is it not going to work for us around here we don't get those major major storms but we won't get them but we just haven't got them alright so let's go to Etsy. Etsy I had an order

one order to do this morning just a couple orders two screw sets for the Nintendo Gamecube it is probably the most popular thing I sell here on Etsy. If I sell anything. But we just keep plugging away on it. It's a recent activity. Let's see if we've had any problems. I show something in a cart. Oh, that's someone I purchased. Favors. I got little icons now that show what your Here's my listings icons pretty cool So Etsy's come a long way, too, but it just doesn't it's not really known for gaming But if you go if you need anything homemade gaming of any kind including

Cartridges games themselves that's people tweak and do stuff to Etsy's the place to get them Back Sarah's isn't a good place to get stuff like that. I want to bend I got a lot of stuff through there All right, so let's go to my RSS feed I think I had a couple downloads yesterday my Podcasts have been a little bit shorter. I try to do 20 minutes Just to give you an idea where my morning is where I'm going also yesterday We worked on a computer and unfortunately I think I something happened. I'm really bummed out about it. I have a Dell Optiplex

GX 100 I came across Of course it was Celeron in it and I always want to try to update to the best CPU So I got a CPU on eBay and I didn't retest it before I put another CPU in it But now I can't get it to work and then I put the Celeron back in and still I'll get no video now And I don't know why I don't know if putting that CPU in there did something to it. I Have feeling that's what happened there was a one pin that was a little bit off but I got it straightened out and then it went in correctly as it's supposed to seated correctly but no luck not sure if I ruined it somehow so it's a bummer but I got other stuff in yesterday some pods for my

compact for cocks none of them work but I want to see if maybe I can learn how to fix them and compact flash the industrial style so we will go back to my other two computers try to set those up as disk drives hard drives rather so we did a bunch of stuff yesterday a lot of little videos so so I three downloads pretty awesome let's see we're oklah ashburn Brooklyn Brooklyn like a two down from Brooklyn and pretty awesome Prague one apex mostly in the US but we have one from Prague doesn't say in that list in the last seven days and say which one Doesn't say like in the last day. It just gives you an overview of seven days

So pretty cool. It's always my message in a bottle over the internet ocean as I always say it's pretty fun It's for anybody to find All right, so Let's go to YouTube My nightly project journey man MiriamSights and Sounds is very quiet for views, but I keep it going for now. And then we'll take a break once it gets really warm. Because I got to turn my egg condition on, which is right behind my bed, because it's

super hot in that little corner that I sleep in. So subscribers, 35,781. Pretty awesome. So we're growing. So subscribers thirty five thousand seven hundred and eighty one pretty awesome So we're growing So my next goal would be obviously forty thousand, but we have a way to go Has no bearing at all on views 102 point eight K watched hours are

751 but the main key is revenue 70 20 25 dollars and 10 cents never goes up any further 30 dollar I think I don't think I've ever seen at like 35 or 40 dollars It's pretty weird. So what's the whole way? This is about Coming up there will be a change in how they do it try to make some more so we'll see May 12th I think they said so maybe I can muster up a few more bucks but as of now now nada and I've made $100 but I've spent a lot more in promotion but we're growing so that's cool.

So it's still going in a direction. I'm not sure where it's going to go but stuff I do anyway so I might as well video it and put it on my YouTube channel. And I do overnight stuff for a while and then I'll also do my guinea pigs. I haven't done them in the last couple mornings. I do my good morning my guineas.as let them run for a little while in the morning So let's go to eBay. I don't have a few orders to do this morning I had a guy with a conversation many buyers don't like my answers, but I'm pretty much

I'm pretty straightforward. I had another I'm pretty straightforward I had something listed for $14 it was a harder to find part his first offer was $8 I decline it because again it's going to cost me $8 to ship it let's see some feedback

extremely satisfied with the purchase that's cool, excellent service thanks for the quick pleasant transaction hope to deal with you again pretty cool so yeah he offered me eight dollars of course I declined it ten dollars I really don't want to take a ten dollar plus it was a harder to find part so I wasn't gonna something I have a lot of I may take a ten dollar offer and then make a couple bucks but I declined it and then of course every once in a while I'll get a buyer sent me a 911 message all all wondering why I'm not taking his offer and then I got I just let him happen and he ended up purchasing it

then I told him at the end of all my spiel was that it was $13 as my minimum really and it's a hard-to-find part. I really don't want to sell it for any less actually But so he made him $13 offer and now I'm gonna ship it out But buyers just kind of get it and then I always go through I didn't write the story in there But I always tell the story If you get if someone gives you $8 go through I didn't write this story in there but I always tell the story if you get if someone gives you eight dollars you take your eight dollars to the store and see what you can buy but to you before you can do that you have

to take your eight dollars and spend eight dollars on an uber to get you there so when you get to the store how much do you have left now to spend? That's my concept. Straightforward meaning that it's costing me that $8 to ship it to you. We refunded your money back now, please. Could you check? Yes. I will luckily I leave I full also this is my I got a refund on my brain wave

thing that I ordered after a week to hit and you can ship to yet so whatever you're comfortable do I guess just want to ask you any chance to have the left cover. Oh yes. Oh yes. Yes. I have both sides. Of those not listed yet. Listed yet. I am very easy to work with.

Best offers are the biggest pain in the butt I deal with. Yes, so this is the guy from yesterday that I told you I kind of gave him a whole spiel about which is not a spiel though, the spiel. Retro rewind, perfect thank you, created ships today. Oh yeah, so that one already shipped out. I worked on a black partial Xbox 360 fat. I had to find one that was clean enough. I had to clean up some of the metal around it. I need a COK board that ends in check I will check the check but most so this guy's asking about a ps3 the model a ps3 fat so the original ones but the backwards compatible that's got a co k-o one motherboard and the relevance of that is that it that has the E chip on it for ps2 so it will play mostly all ps2 games So I will need to check but most of mine are still

in the whole bottom case. Is there a way to know know which board is in there, say from the serial number, as I am not tearing to find one unless I really have to because lots of times when people ask me for something and then I find it and then I sent them I send them the link then they never buy it so it's like all that wasted time but I may pull them apart anyway I'll do that as a project I will check so so if you can give me another heads up on how to know what's in that board is like kind of like Nintendo Wii look under the battery compartment you pull it out and there's a little number I'll say an 01 or 21 or 30 or 4 that tells you the motherboard model therefore you don't never have to take the whole thing apart To get to it So that's what I mean, so that's what I'm looking for some kind of quick hint of

What motherboards in there without me and having to tear them each apart? I've got about ten of them. Maybe not that many A's or B's I think I have about have about, I'm like maybe 7. So we have one order. Let's see, $24.00. Oh, a top and bottom 2501A motherboard, empty case. That would be a little bit harder to find, but we'll figure it out. What was the other question? There was something else somebody asked me. Oh, not now.

All right, so we're going to go back to this order. Order was canceled, so I gave up on this guy. So I ordered it from China. And it was a week. Now it's been a week in the handkerchief, okay Yes, I see the Refund I am so disappointed

After all my questions You still had not even shipped it out in over, in about a week. Disappointed. disappointed. Why can't I get disappointed after all my questions you still not yet after a week after I paid you had the $20 extra for Speedpack, yet you were in no rush to ship it to me that makes no sense I would never buy from you again however However, luckily, I only give 5 full star feedback with no mention of any issue. I am really angry.

Angry. Angry. I am really angry about it. So yes, so this is, we refund you my backer, would you please check? Yes, I see the refund. I'm so disappointed after all my questions. You still had not even shipped it out in about a week after I paid You had the $20 extra for the speed back yet. You were no rush to ship it to me. That makes no sense

I would never buy I would never I would never buy from you again. Luckily. I only get five full piece of speed back With no mention of any issues. I'm really angry about it. So that's my comment. So that's what we're going to do right now. I'm going to go to my feedback. Go to my selling output. Fast and as described. All five full stars. And that's it. With no mention of you and no hurry to ship it to me after I... But it was like $150 bucks to do all that. I like, freaked out.

Leave feedback. Totally feedback positive, because I always want my name seen under the positive. There was a time when I used to do lots of negative feedbacks. Because once in a while you get something wrong. Alright, so I'm going to do fast and as described. Described, what did I spell it wrong? Disg... fast as described. And then I click off. Did this item arrive on time? I put yes.

Again, I'm doing all... everything... I'm not... Because I don't like... I hate when I get... I used to already hate, but I dislike getting a hammered. And I'm sure I get lots of not five stars sometimes, but for me, I find it, uh, fulfilling by two at least give that seller all five full stars, even though I told them how I honestly feel right and then that's that we don't worry about that again so we have no so I decided to not worry about getting some kind of a brain thing right now we will get one at some point but

for now we just got the refund it's probably better off anyway right now all right let's see where we're at guys and girls and anybody that comes along about 20 minutes this morning so I just have one order. Let's see where we're at guys and girls and anybody that comes along about 20 minutes this morning So you just have one order. Oh, let's see if any comments down here Someone was saying let's see the comments Something something about I don't nobody likes you Nikki or something. I know what that was all about To prime There's someone somewhere with something that. Where did that go?

Once in a while I see things I want to order on eBay but it's Speedpack. Oh, that was a Speedpack. And now it was... Once in a while I get some kind of weird messages but then they go away. Which is, I think that people just come in,

leave some kind of strange messages and go away. But overall, for a long time I didn't have comments on it all. And I brought them back and it's been pretty good. Most of them are good questions and things like that. I don't really get that many. I'm more of a place where people come in, take a look at stuff for a few minutes and then they're gone. And then some repeat people but not that many therefore that's why my revenue

stays very very low and again it's all the content you have I try to come up with new ideas but at some point you run out of ideas but just do what I do but we're still growing though so we'll see. Alright so you guys have a good day. We're on hump day as Wednesday is always called so three more days and you'll have the weekend. For me every day is a work day pretty much but I do like my Sundays though. Alright so you have a good afternoon and I'll talk to you later. Alright bye.
