Gooday Gaming Guests - I was feeling a Bit Let Down today

Episode Date: November 18, 2024

I am always moving forward each day.

Alright, so today is another end of a long day. I had a lot of orders and stuff, but today I was kind of in a mood where it seemed like I put all the hard work in and something didn't pay off there on YouTube like I thought it would. You can see why I did a couple of videos of it this morning. Getting to the 4,000 hours was quite the feat. I just was expecting something to come out of it after I got there so that I could continue to do more fun stuff. But unfortunately, it's not really working out that way so far.

So we added podcasts, and I've already noticed a little bit of interest in the podcast a little bit. So we're going to continue that. I was able to add it to the apple podcast today for free of course everything is kind of free until you have to upgrade to get more stuff but my rss.com feed is pretty cool it seems to be pushing out to some places tried to attach to some other places but didn't quite get there yet. So I always put in the hard work. I was just a little bummed out today. I've been bummed out since I got to the 4,000. That hasn't really paid off at all.

Really, unless I guess you get millions of views, you can actually make a few bucks. But we'll keep going. I got my eBay and I got all that. So with that theme tonight I was doing, I told AI that I was looking for a story about being let down after all the hard work. So this is the first story I came up with. It's called The Tale of Lumi

The Tale of Lumi the Star Painter In a faraway galaxy hidden in the velvet folds of the cosmos lived Lumi the Star Painter. Lumi's job was to light up the universe by painting stars that shimmered and danced across the night sky. Each evening, Lumi would climb to the top of her crystal tower, tip her magic brush into pots of glowing stardust, and carefully bring life to the stars. For centuries, Lumi painted tirelessly. She took pride in her work, crafting constellations so intricate that travelers on distant planets would look up in awe. Her crowning project was the Celestial River, a swirling pathway of stars designed to guide lost souls home. Lumi spent eons

perfecting its details, pouring her heart into every stroke of her brush. When the celestial river was finally complete, Lumi stood back to admire her masterpiece. It was dazzling, a ribbon of light weaving through the galaxy like a celestial symphony. But as dawn broke on the planets below, something terrible happened. Windstorms from a neighboring star system swept through the sky, scattering Lumine's stars like grains of sand. Her masterpiece was gone. Lumine slumped in her tower. Her light dimmed.

All her hard work, all her endless nights of careful creation seemed wasted. A quick sadness wrapped around her like a cold mist. She felt the weight of the disappointment crushing her spirit. But then something unexpected happened. She heard a soft voice from below. Thank you, Lumi, it said. Looking down, Lumi saw a child on a distant planet. The child was gazing at the scattered stars, her face lit with wonder. The storm made the sky even more beautiful, the girl whispered. Now there are stars everywhere. I'm not afraid of the dark anymore. Lumi's heart stirred. The celestial river was gone, but her work had still touched

someone. Even in chaos, it had brought light and comfort to those who needed it. With renowned repurpose, Lamy picked up her brush. She couldn't undo the storm, but she could start again. This time she painted with bold strokes, letting her stars scatter freely. She created new constellations out of the chaos, patterns she had never imagined before. And as the nights passed, Lumi discovered something beautiful. Even when her work was swept away, the light she created remained. I like that. That's a good one. one again here's the story that I get instantly I just kind of type in a couple ideas, so my next story I wanted to do

so he said the moral of the story is that hard work might not always turn out as planned, but the effort and light you create can leave a lasting impact, sometimes even in disappointment

there's an opportunity to rebuild and shine brighter can leave a lasting impact. Sometimes, even in disappointment, there's an opportunity to rebuild and shine brighter. So that was pretty... This story kind of reflects how I feel, so that actually worked out pretty cool. I'm a big fan of that one. So then I said I'll try to do two stories a night, and that gets me about... I'll try to do 20 minutes a night.

I really don't want to go up to three stories, but we'll do two. So the second one I said, I want a nighttime story about trying new things in life to move forward. So this is the story that was created for me. It's called The Journey of Willow, the Wayfinder. Once upon a time in a quiet sunlit valley, there lived a small bird named Willow. Willow had spent her entire life in the same tree, high on a hill overlooking the fields. She loved her cozy nest, the familiar rustle of the leaves, and the safety of her well-worn branches. But deep in her heart, she felt a restless yearning she could not quite name. One evening, as the sky blushed with colors of twilight, a flock of sparrows landed on a nearby branch.

They chattered about the wondrous places they had seen, mountains that kissed the clouds, rivers that shimmered like silver, and forests so vast they seemed endless. Willow listened with wide eyes, a flutter of excitement and fear stirring within her. You should come with us, said one of the sparrows. The world is so much bigger than this tree.

Willow hesitated. She had never flown beyond the valley. What if she got lost? What if she couldn't find food or shelter? But as the stars began to twinkle, she realized staying in the tree forever wouldn't make her restless heart any quieter. Every morning, as the sun rays of dawn kissed the land, Willow took a deep breath,

spread her wings, and leapt from her branch. The air was cool and unfamiliar against her feathers, and leapt from her branch. The air was cool and unfamiliar against her feathers, and her wings wobbled as she tried to stay steady. But with each beat, she grew stronger and braver. At first, everything felt overwhelming. The field stretched further than she imagined, and the mountains loomed

large on the horizon. But as she flew, Will discovered wonders she had never dreamed of, a meadow bursting with wildflowers, a sparkling stream where dragonflies dance, and a grove where the trees sang softly in the wind. She made friends along the way, a curious fox who taught her the art of listening to whispers in the grass, a wise turtle who showed her how to find courage in stillness, and a beautiful butterfly who reminded her to laugh even when the path felt uncertain. One evening, as Willow perched on the tree, watching the sunset paint the sky, she realized something extraordinary.

The restless ache in her heart was gone, and its place was a quiet joy, a sense of belonging, not tied to a single branch of a tree, but to the journey itself. Willow still returned to her old tree from time to time, but she was no longer the same bird. She had stories to share, wisdom to offer, and a heart full of courage.

She had learned that trying new things wasn't just about finding new places. It was about finding yourself. The moral of this story is that moving forward often means stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things the journey might be uncertain and even challenging but each step brings growth new experiences and this discovery of who you are meant to be so that's kind of cool that's a cool one too i like that one So this is kind of like opposing stories but not really. So it gives you that sense of

I'm always moving forward doing stuff. Because basically life's all about just keep moving forward. And I've been doing lots of different projects. But sometimes you just get to a point where if you do certain things a lot you expect something

to come out of it so i just so ebay my ebay store is the same way i put in years and years in my ebay store it's come a long way but it's still it has its pitfalls ups and downs so anything that you kind of uh have never done before takes while. But we've gotten there pretty much. So as I do every night. I'll get an early bedtime sleep. Which is almost that time. It's a little after 4. I'll stay up until about 4.30.

And then we'll rinse and repeat. And tomorrow is a new day. I'd say it wasn't a bad day or anything it was actually a good day it's just like I was just hoping for more

but nothing's an an instant gratification it takes a while because like I said my eBay store took for a long time

it still does well but it's it's been struggling as of late even though lots of discounts and all one of the things I got to put a lot of different things out there

because it's so much better working from home on your own I've pretty much done that for the last 7 or 8 years learning how to do things that I can do on my own and YouTube was the next adventure and now I'm doing Things that I can do on my own. And YouTube was the next adventure.

And now I'm doing. These podcasts as well. So that will add to my little resume here. And I also got some fun 3D. Projects I want to do with 3D printing. And of course gaming. There's always some gaming thing to do. Earlier I did PS3 Fats.

As my system for the day. Tomorrow I'll figure out something else. Because there's always some gaming thing to do. Earlier, I did PS3 Fats as my system for the day. Tomorrow, I'll figure out something else because there's always something. I mean, eventually, I'll run out of systems to talk about. Then we'll have to kind of go back to ones. But usually, I do it where I have, I'll talk about a system for a little while. Then I bring an AI, which is my Zippy. I call him zippy and i learned some really big things today uh about ps3 fats that i wasn't aware of so that's why i bring them in because it's like my sidekick because every podcast has someone that talks alongside you and i don't

really have anybody else so ai will work and it's basically like talking to somebody. It's really amazing to me. I can just sit there. But I have to stop. Wait until it finishes. Before I ask another question. You can't interrupt it. Because then that messes it up. So if you ask something.

It goes through four, five, six steps. And then it will finally stop. And then you can ask the next question. You can't just. You can't talk over it. Because then it gets confused stop. And then you can ask the next question. You can't just. You can't talk over it. Because then it gets confused and it stops. But it's really fun. So that's my companion.

My Zippy. So tomorrow we'll. We'll do something else. You know. I'll get up in the morning. It's my routine now. I added the. Groundhog Day in the morning.

To give you a quick recap. What's going to go on for the day from what happens overnight. Because mostly everything happens for me, for my orders and stuff, are overnight when I'm sleeping. So my day, again, as I always say, revolves around wherever my orders take me in the morning. And then I add, I look like I'm doing three different podcasts a day one in the morning some kind of gaming system in the afternoon and then i'll do a little nightcap here finishing up um with a couple little stories in about 20 minutes um somewhere around there but yeah i added some more places for these little podcasts to go. So I'm the kind of person that just kind of throws things against the wall and see what sticks.

So we'll see if it goes anywhere. We'll have fun with it. It's pretty fun to do. It's a good way for me to wind down my night. Alright, so I'll see you guys tomorrow.
