Good morning everyone. It is now 638 today is June 4th 2025 We had think we're gonna be our warmest day yet today almost in the 90s. We're on the coast So we're always a little bit cooler here in West early, but the state itself we're down here Make it a 90 degree day some places, but just pretty exciting Well past the heat that I like I'm a 60 degree 70 degree kind of guy And that's about it really after that and you got to use air conditioners and ceiling fans and all that stuff right now You don't have to use any of that so that's also saving lots of energy not having to do any of that

So but we'll have to fire all those up at some point So but we'll have to fire all those up at some point So yesterday I didn't really do much video. I did my life in a double shave midday. I had some time So we did that and unfortunately, like I said, I'm not promoting anymore. So it's not gonna get a lot of views However, I did try to see if I can make a shorter preview Doing a short of that long video. It's only about 28 minutes there was a quick life and a double shave yesterday didn't really have a lot to talk about and My new razor I can shave my head really fast. So it's pretty cool We did for about a half hour and I put that up

So it's a long video and then I actually did a 15 second short preview and then you get a three minute short preview so we're gonna try those and previews as a shorts to as opposed to paying for promotions see if maybe it'll work it's just a new idea I just came up with not sure if it'll work or not but at least people will see it for a few seconds anyway so we'll increase the Shorts Which we always do anyway, but I wasn't Taking long videos and making shorts out of them But now i'm going to just to see if I can do it as a preview see if it it'll

And then i'll put the link from the preview of the short over to the longer video So let's check it out because I I cannot afford any more promotions. You can't do it And then see was oh yesterday. We did some some people asked me some questions about different things white ps2 slims the Japan models I found One anyway, and in one wanted the logos strip off it So I listed that and then somebody asked me about Yamaha chips off the model to Sega Genesis

2.3 I have two of those motherboards both of them had the chip that he wanted. We'll see if he ordered those today And I had some other orders Normally and then my day was pretty much done and I'm still working on Silent Hill 2 I always spent a good well only spent about a half hour I'm in another block. I just finished block D I got another week. So now I'm gonna go back and open up another door. I tell you it's a long game I said it was only 10 hours, but I must be 20 hours into the darn thing so but it's from real fun my best remake of a better than all the

Although I do like all the Resident evils. I'm looking forward to see what the resident evil 1 that's gonna be awesome. I Still agree makes other fun And Star Wars has got that remake coming out. So Evil 1 that's gonna be awesome I still like remakes so they're fun and Star Wars got that remake coming out so remasters not as much fun but remakes are really cool so we'll see what's coming up this year for remakes all right so let's see what's going on here all right let's check around some news action not really seeing much that's I mean there's always lots of doom and gloom but we don't really talk about that

found an artifact 500 year old artifacts and Mexican cave interesting okay so let's just go right on to my stuff here this morning at sea we had one order I get one order every week or two let's see if we had any activity just one full five star feedback that's. I'll take it I Sold the baskets at the bottom of the Nintendo GameCube all the metal baskets in the Clamps and stuff as an order So that's all I saw yesterday

I'm still trying to get to adding Makari and Parchmark. I paid for a month of subscription to Crosslist, so I gotta start using it. So we'll see. So we got the two Death Stranding 2, could have a golden opportunity. And then Metal Gear Solid looks pretty cool too. Never was into the sneaky kind of game but it looks really cool but the games are so expensive now you're talking almost like 70-80 bucks. So it's really really new investing I just I just bought that revenge of the salvage plan which is pretty fun it's not exactly what I thought it was gonna be but pretty cool that's 50 bucks right there so games are so expensive and of

course there's no such thing of taking a game and reselling or anything anymore obviously cuz you selling or anything anymore obviously cuz you okay so let's let's go to YouTube see what's going on so we should significantly stop getting should go down real well although so see my life in a double shave see I oh that's the 15 second okay I wasn't say whoa we got a lot of views so 15 seconds for my life a double shave I got 386 views let's see what we got for my full video unpromoted 20 views see there is but I just have no so it just doesn't it didn't really work it's kind of hopefully if you would go over to see

that so if I would have promoted that normally a life and double shave I'll promote like 20 bucks and I can get a few you know a few thousand views I think those are one of my number one views but I just can't do it anymore. It's time to be happy with I've got 46,519 subscribers so now it's just a matter of people that I do have subscribers and I had to block my first person I didn't really didn't want to do it but just kept having weird comments and I just was concerned about it so I found I'm gonna have to block this person that was the first guy that my only member I just had no choice I was getting a little little scary so so what we had to do all right so looks

like yeah so my views will start going down. Only ones that will be the high views will be shorts. Shorts are always, especially if you do 15 seconds, which I did. And we'll continue with that idea, see what it does in the future. My revenue is still holding steady at $32.68 view hours are 104.3k watch hours are 729.4 so today are we doing today? I don't know what I'm doing today, actually. I'm really compo- we'll check you- we'll check eBay right now, and then that usually gives me an idea where my day goes.

Let's see. Oh, let's see. Oh, so we also have coupon sales going up. 20% for everything over $24, I think I did. And then I did 8% for anything under $21, something like that. I can't have 20% off of anything under $21, because then I don't really make enough. Perfect buy, need a piece of... So no feedback.

Let's look at... Thanks, I appreciate the fast shipping. It's effective donor. Okay, let's see... $11 offer, buy. It says he could buy hundreds if possible This is a question this guy's been asking me about the Sega Genesis This VA 2.3

If you have any more of the chips sports, let me know about all that My buddy has a synthesizer company and is always looking for them either the wine okay so what other so what other I will I will keep my eye I'll keep my keep my eyes open. So this is about a Yamaha chip. He says he has a buddy. Now that I know. So I'll keep my mind open. I'm gonna keep my eyes open now for them now that I know I asked my buddy Zippy in a few minutes

where I can find Yamaha chips the YM actually let's bring let's bring we haven't done that in a while let's bring my buddy Zippy in this is he said he would buy hundreds of them hundreds of them. Chat GPT. Let's bring my buddies at being for a minute. I'm gonna ask them a question. Again I unsubscribe to all my only because I can't afford it anymore to have subscriptions and it's really the same thing you just get a short amount of time to ask questions which is fine. Let's ask him this question right here what there's two different chips he's looking for the YM 2612 and a YM 3438. What systems what gaming gaming, what systems, what game, uh, systems have these chips?

Let's see what happens. So we're gonna ask those two chips. The YM, it's the Yamaha chip the YM 2612 notably Sega Genesis And the YM34 difference Jefferson my Nomad

Mega Drive some versions So there's just in the Genesis, no other computers or gaming systems. Mostly famously associated with the Sega. They were not widely used in commercial computers or gaming systems. Sega CD, ooh maybe Sega CD, used indirectly. So I'm trying to look at Wonder, Mega, XI, Sega Nomad, so those are good chips. I don't have a note. Those are all real expensive. Sega CD. I may have a Sega CD. I'll have to check to check to Sega CD. Which Genesis, Genesis boards, board models, board models board models

were were these on The YM-2, let's see, revisions, early models. So it's saying the YM-2612 is on VA0, VA12, 3, 4, 5, 6, and then 7, 6.8. It's in the later models. Two variants. V8, most model versions for me. Commonly V8-7. Alright, so, the sayings on all those models will have to look V0. Any on Dreamcast? since on all those models will have to look P0 any on Dreamcast?

no, not on the Dreamcast okay so that answers that question let's go on to uh... finish up my morning here I appreciate the fresh fast shipping I was telling my guy that I sent him a board set and I think it might actually fully work. That's the PS3, the AIM, FAT which is the COK-001. I'm selling it as just a board but I had one, well actually I got many that have the matching drive board so I told him I was shipping that one and probably get the two you have alright so then this guy's asking about those white

strips the PS2 slim the Japan white I need to find the others yet. So I gotta look for those today. Look later today. So lots of things are questions and people want stuff. And then most of the time it turns into an order. So I only had the one order. Let's see if it's the order of that guy. And he did, he bought those two boards so that really helped me out.

So that's awesome. And I'll look around to see if I have any more of those. Cause he said he'd buy them if I have them. So that's pretty cool. Cool, so that really helped me out. So that was an order that was accomplished, but I had to do some work to get it. I had to find what the buyer was looking for. Pretty awesome.

Alright, so that's my morning. Let's see, no new feedback. Orders are out. I got just those two boards to ship out. Again, lots of sales going on or they'll get in a lot of boxes and I had to do a big run a big order of boxes over $300 worth of boxes when I use that what's it called KL ARNA app and that uses How we can break my payments down to four payments I use it all the time I got three orders that came in a boxes and I'm waiting for a big order of boxes

So I'm gonna get those in yeah, I get those like a person So let's do my feedback. I always do my feedback as soon as things come in if I remember. And I always just do fast and as described. And of course I never, I always do five full stars no matter what. No matter how bad I get stuff. And I always and I never bring in any sort of issue into a feedback Because I hate when that happens to me So I would never want to do that to anybody else Oh

That really stinks best if you try to resolve it and they still bring it into your feedback Which happens very often even though you resolve an issue you still get it But so I would never do that nor what I mean and I would always do five full star feedback even if I had some really goofy things that were worse than what my things were but I still gave him five full star any any place I can check a five full star I do So I just would want that and we may we don't make mistakes, you know Or unless it's just a really difficult buyer which has been happening And maybe sometimes I don't react

Correct way, but if you're really difficult, then I'm not going to anyway So that's how it ends up that way, but no matter I would still leave five full stop feedback All right, so I'm waiting on one two three four four different sets of boxes. I got two of them in and some other things Antistatic bags I get the pink ones they're cheaper static bags I get the pink ones they're cheaper. I got a couple things to throw some offers on. So throw another 5% or really cut it down. So alright so let's see what's today. Today it's Wednesday yeah. Well the only thing I'm gonna do is check my RSS feed this morning. Let's do that. We'll do that last now.

Let's see what's going on. Let's see if I have any... I mean, yesterday I didn't have any downloads, which is something. Sometimes I don't get any. Let's see what we got. I have to check. I'm always checking on everything. Oh, this is shocking. I had 16 downloads. What?

That's really on me. I only had 16 downloads. Well I had someone that looked like they did 13 downloads. Apex, Cool, Ashbird, Manola, Newport, and United Kingdom united kingdom hilton head so 16 downloads that's pretty awesome for me that's awesome i'm always i always do one every morning so so that's pretty cool episodes overview does it say where they oh this i never even looked at this so i can see where the episodes are download which ones 314 33 so pretty awesome I'll always do a podcast I really enjoy it in the morning

here this is an extended one yesterday was a shorter one oh not really quite extended one was a 20 minutes I do about 20 minutes and I kind of give you a preview of what my day is gonna be as I find out and Then of course when I'm at on eBay, that's when any sort of damage control negative neutral feedbacks And anything that could escalate from there is where I find out and I find out pretty much live with you guys As I'm talking about it because I don't know it until I check and then eBay as always is Where my day usually takes me but I only had that one order and I already got those boards ready to go Actually in the box and everything. I would have shipped them out yesterday if you would have ordered them

I'm good like that for the mailman I already came but So I'm gonna look around hunt around and see if I can find any more of those chips Now that he asked me he he's saying Sega CD. Let me ask him about that. Which Sega CD model? Board model. The Sega CD also noticeably does not contain its own Instead it relies on the mega to sound also it doesn't have that's right Sega see wouldn't have it It's not present on the board. Oh, I see So Sega model one you're saying V8 with zero V8 one

Okay, XI. I used to have a JVC XI pretty cool wonder mega. I never had that excite i had used to have a gvc excite pretty cool wonder mega never had that chip inside the connected okay so it's not on the board it would be it's relying on the board from the it's just an add-on so that's from my morning this morning uh... and i will talk to you guys tomorrow

alright have a great day alright bye
