Gooday Gaming Guests - Macy Parade and Dog Show on Thanksgiving Day.

Episode Date: November 28, 2024

Me and my Dog Just want my Mother home for the Holiday.

Good morning everyone. Happy Thanksgiving. It is now 7.38. So I slept in a little bit late because I was on a routine with my dogs because my keep my dogs in the same routine other than what I normally do which is go to sleep like 4 35 I stayed up and watched a movie uh I watched Alien uh Romulus it was pretty fun it was actually really fun I enjoyed that uh I watched a little of uh Deadpool Wolverine but tell you what I just thought that was a mess i didn't understand that movie at all it was jumping all over the place and i don't know it was just weird so i didn't finish watching that i didn't wasn't a fan i like the first deadpool the second deadpool was basically the same one i didn't understand what why that was uh and then this one was just a mess i don't know maybe maybe it's fun as you go but

just i don't know it was just really really weird i couldn't get into i liked aliens so that was pretty cool it was a completely different theme and uh i'm not gonna spoil but there's lots of fun extra stuff that i didn't expect uh and it seems like it's set up for some sort of a sequel in the future. So that's pretty cool. I like the younger cast and all that good fun stuff. It's good to mix it up with the good ideas. So that's pretty amazing. Because it was basically a completely fresh idea with the aliens in it.

And they're really not in it that much. Until it really gets going. But it was a lot of fun. Remind me of the aliens, alien isolation games that you can play. I have that copy somewhere. It all takes place on a ship.

So it's just kind of the same kind of concept. So it was pretty cool. Seems like they might have come up with the idea off of that game I think a little bit because everything really was taking place on the ship but it was for a lot of fun highly recommend Alien Romulus

alright so let's check out so the Macy's parade looks like it got pushed forward to 8.30 this morning as opposed to 8 because of the rain it's raining out not here in Rhode Island yet is it raining. But it's raining in New York where the Macy's Parade is.

Alright. So let's look at YouTube this morning. My dogs. I got them out. I always take my Roxy for a quick little walk so she can do her thing. They're both a little more comfortable today. They're both back in the bed. So they'll sleep for a little while. Yesterday they were not used

to my mother not being here so they were out and about all day. So we'll see what happens today. My mother should be calling me later on today. And then I'll go pick her up so uh my subs went up so that's not i'm having no problem there 3158 subs now and i thank everyone who joins in the last couple days i've been missing uh gaming uh style videos but i'll get back to them probably today. I think.

I'll do some work. Do some stuff later. Revenue. Not so good. $2. That'd be great. $24.78. That's my total now.

So even though subs go significantly up. The average duration is two minutes right now. And views are about four minutes. But yesterday, all I did all day yesterday was a little short podcast. Because I was trying to take care of my little buddy. So I got to fix the thumbnail from yesterday. I did do a little quick little live feed with Mr. Me and Mr. Ranger are sitting on the couch. So I'll throw a little live feed up

on that for a little bit. I did that for about a half hour. But those are really the only places I get any sort of views. Not too long, obviously. 46 minutes I did it yesterday with Mr. Ranger. Just hanging

out on the couch. So I'm going to throw a thumbnail in there for that. Let's see, there's one of my little buddy. Yeah, because it only gives you a generic one. Yeah, there's another good one of my little buddy. Alright, let's see what's going on. So I had some orders orders yesterday i finished a big round of orders for xbox 360 fat top hard drives uh one buyer bought a whole bunch of them i tested and retested and all of them gave them a couple extras that were clean but didn't work in this last lot hopefully all the orders will go good because that was a lot of work and I tried I did everything possible to make sure every one that I ship fully worked wiped you can see the videos and be testing them did two two

rounds of those let's check YouTube here I see what's going on not expecting much so I've had a coupon sale going on and I think it ends today and then I gotta come up with something new for Christmas let's see let's check messages first never know what I'm gonna end up with in the morning

uh so that's some sort of security uh some social security stop communicating with cabro 17 uh someone's trying to uh uh uh so I won't communicate with that person

It says don't communicate with them It's some sort of a That's Donald Akers I don't know what that is So let's see I had two offers this morning One Probably won't take it Don't know what that is so let's see it two offers this morning

one Probably won't take it Someone Yeah, some sort of important security alert about Someone trying to contact me we recommend that take some precautions to secure make sure your account is secure don't respond don't respond to clicks do not click on copy paste no i wouldn't do any of that all right so that's something i don't often see that kind of a message where there's some sort of security

um let me just do this now get this out of the way yeah I'm just gonna take it now so yeah I'll just going to take it now. So yeah, I'll just get rid of that. So I got to kind of sell some stuff. So I have a sale ending today.

I think it's today. And it was significant. It was at 20% off. And it was really hitting my bottom line for my little guy, my little offers. So I don't think i can go that low again um but i'll do another sale all right so i got something for five so i have an offer for 550 the original offer is around after coupon it's like ten dollars so they want to knock it off to half of that again if i as i always say free shipping isn't free for me so even those it's a six long screw sets for the um 01 through 05 original xbox and the pads so my minimum order is around 11 but i've been going much lower with my coupons

down to like eight which means i make a dollar per order 550 not happening because that means that i would have to pay him a dollar 50 to ship it so that's not happening so that's a heck no so that looks like i just had that one i have one order and then i just took the other order so that's a decline and again i don't do any sort of a counter especially if you're going to half offer me on an 11 order down to a 550 order actually so after that i don't want really any part of you pretty much because come on

if I can't sell something for $11 where you get free shipping door to door service the thing that you need I just need to find something else to do it's been really really hard lately even with discounts significantly

I've been really struggling with sales all right so it looks like I have two things for the Super Nintendo power switch and a clear tip front port cable. So we can do that. That's pretty easy peasy. So we'll do that. And then we'll see what else is going on here. I think I had one feedback. Which looks... Everything's still positive so that's cool

yeah for some reason like I said I saw that the Thanksgiving parade was postponed we'll watch that on the dog show later I won't actually

like sit and just watch the whole thing but I'll have it on and I gotta find out what time I'm picking up my mother today hopefully sometime in the afternoon my dogs will love to see her come back

that's the sound of my printer so I'll get those printed out and I'll try to get my dogs fed in a little while yeah they're still they're still a little bit off but they slept pretty good last night I slept in a big bed with them so that was pretty pretty cool not as comfortable for me but yeah and I just sold that so we must just get rid of said that out so get rid of that one too I know what that is so those should be done which about what I was gonna get for I keep trying to sell it

for a little bit. It's a controller that's a part. It's an original. I mean it's the Series X or S controller. Came to me in parts. It's not complete but most of it's there. So we'll just

move that along. And then I'll work on my new sales starting tomorrow through christmas probably i'll do something plus i also throw in little best offers i send offers so again i was down to like 30 off of stuff which is great for the bigger stuff is fine but for my little guys my little 11 dollar sales because most of my minimum is 11 so 30 off 11 gets me down to just making a buck or two for this for the sale so that's kind of a bummer but if i don't have any sales doesn't help me out anyway either so let's see where at today i'm gonna do more uh listings i've two dollars to get whatever after a day or so of

sale and selling stuff then you can withdraw into your account for two dollars you can do it in 30 minutes for free you get it gets the next business day so ebay gets you another two dollars so we're doing that so i'm on a i'm on a run right now we're not buying anything for a long for a while just trying to save up uh to pay stuff off. I have a debt consolidation. I started it about two years ago.

In order to learn everything about gaming systems and all that and try to get one of every gaming systems. It's kind of like going to college. It was like going to college basically. It was before AI came. I had to buy a lot of stuff and I had to rack up my credit. It became a big big uh

credit mess so i started a debt consolidation with the national debt consolidation a couple years ago and i'm still working on it getting there though two more years i'll be done by the time i'm almost 60 I'll have all my debt done. Instead of trying to go bankruptcy or anything like that, which I didn't want to do. So, I have to pay X amount every other week for that.

And it went up now because something else settled. So, the days of getting gaming systems local and all that stuff is pretty much gone now for a while. Unless significantly, I thought I was going to get an income boost from YouTube here as an extra layer, but it's just not working. But we'll just keep plugging away anyway and i got lots of stuff on ebay so that's not a problem oh and i gotta work on my um my youtube store i mean not youtube my um shopify where i started working on it and

i'm gonna get that it'll connect to my um ebay store no i'm sorry it'll connect to my eBay store. No, I'm sorry. It'll connect to my YouTube. And then I can maybe sell some stuff without as much stuff coming off. If I can get it working. We'll see. Because your eBay fee is just crazy. then if you want they want you to promote stuff so you promote it then they take more so for every ten dollars that i make now

eight eight dollars is gone actually right now with the sales it's like nine dollars is gone so it's kind of a bummer product as as described. Oh, that was an N64 top logo. It pops out of the top of the cover. The logo. And the other guy ordered something and didn't know what it was. I don't understand that one. Alright, so that's where we're at now. So, I'm going to go for the day.

Hopefully, my mother will be back later on. I'll talk about that. And then we'll pick a system for later. And I'm going to get some. I need to work on PS2 Slims. It's a must to get up. I've got lots of things. I've got like 50 of them.

I've got 10 of the good 9000 model. Good motherboards. Good disk drives. I may sell some partials. Stuff like that. Lots of Apple stuff. I was testing time capsules. Those work.

I have my iBook. 2009 iBook listed. And I've got some power adapters to list. Some iPod. One system fully works and the others, they're all nanos. One's a shuffle. iPod shuffle.

So I may put that in a little lot and try to sell that. I've got other parts of Apple stuff up listed as well there's always lots of interest buyers but the actual sale doesn't really happen that often but we just gotta keep things listed and then you kinda go from there

so let's see what else we got here it says something about a message no so that should be all there. And then, like I said, YouTube, just plugging away, just doing my thing. Again, yesterday was just all podcast. And it goes to my RSS feed. I signed up for Apple Podcasts, which was so much a year.

Not too bad. So my feed will go through that too as well as other feeds. Let's check that this morning too. I'm a big fan of the RSS.com. That's how I started. It took me three or four days to kind of learn all the steps you need to do to actually start a podcast.

Including, you know, having a mic, having a set up the actual thing on the computer that will record what you're saying or doing. Saying actually. Alright, so there's an analysis section here and since I've been doing podcasts I've had 55 downloads so that's pretty cool five from last night and they give you like a breakdown of around the country where they are location to add a new location now I know what that location is and then there's a map of red dots which shows you the cities so let's see what that one was so this is kind of fun I'm glad I added this this was a huge thing uh Montreal can't marry Canada Canada a couple different places in

Canada and somewhere else there is it doesn't show it so yeah this is a big addition i think for for my for my uh... youtube uh... just another way because originally when i started doing youtube originally i wasn't speaking it was the opposite i was just using video to show what i was doing you can come in and see what i was doing uh because i wasn't really comfortable speaking yet and i didn't

really wasn't ready to start doing that and then i turned over then i started upgrading better lighting better you know desktop and as i could best as i can because I'm just a makeshift um and then I then I added sound and then from sound I had to get better sound and then I had to get better video so it's been quite the little journey here so after all that I started I settled into it got through my 3,000 hours, 4,000 hours with the anticipation of having daily income, but that's not happening at all. So $24.78 for all my hours. I think I just had something that said, congratulations, you've had 9,000 views. So the views are there, the subs are there, 3,158, although the,

the actual income from it is not, but it's just, you know, it just must be because of what I do, I just don't have enough retention, and I did actually open up a GoFundMe page, for all my creativity, you can do it as a creativity thing,

so, obviously I haven't had anybody contribute to that but it's there if you're feeling that i'm doing a lot of good hard uh content and you want to throw me a few bucks i'd appreciate it because times are tough right now and unfortunately the debt is getting higher but i'm going to get through it and then my mother's not doing too well as that would be a dramatic something would happen to her that would really be a dramatic because a lot of the income is from her as well so so things are changing it's a difficult time but thank goodness she's feeling okay and she should be home

today but she's getting older you know know, like anything else. You're trying to take care of a parent. My dogs and my little buddies, too. I take care of all them. So that's my family. My Thanksgiving is for all that. And I appreciate every single thing. I have because it's been a long, long journey here. But I want to hang strong and move forward the best I can because you never know what tomorrow is going to bring.

So for now, so, yeah, so I changed that. So YouTube is looking good. It's progressing. My podcasts are progressing. I've got more ideas I've got to attach my store to YouTube I've got some cool cartoon I'm working on

French Fry Freddy and his up and hot news I'm looking for some sort of AI cartoon way that you can do it add all your characters and it will create a cartoon I'm sure it's there or it's going to be there I've seen AI trailers and stuff like there or it's going to be there i've seen ai trailers and stuff like that so there's definitely options out there i haven't really

tapped into that yet and then i have my inspirational fff gaming logo t-shirts it was a some website you could add to youtube where you can put in designs and ideas. The only thing to draw back was that AI can't... I was doing inspirational gaming themes for my logo t-shirts, but when AI puts the wording on the t-shirt, it can't spell it correctly. So that's kind of a bust because of that. Although people have looked at them, which is fun. So at least they're it kind of that's kind of a bust because of that although people have looked at him which is fun so at least they're looking so that's cool and i'll so i'll get better at that i gotta go back to um the drawing board and see if ai is spelling any better

yet so waiting for a better version of ai and the other thing ai can't do is once it makes you a nice image that you like and then you tell it to put the inspiration on it, but you have to do it at the same time. It can't go back and redo an image once it does it. It's a really big drawback of AI. There's no way I can say, hey, I liked image three. Can you do that?

And then I have all my images from my characters on my cartoon yet i can't say ai take all these images here and put them into a like a montage it doesn't know it just gives you all new characters all new weird ones so that's a bummer so the i the intent is there i got kind of my idea for my only characters for the cartoon. And for my Inspiration Logo t-shirts or stickers or whatever you want to. Although I just haven't been able to completely follow through on those yet. But it gives me more ideas of stuff to do. So Shopify store.

I'll be adding it to YouTube. I thought I already did, but I don't see it added yet. So we're going to go check on that today. And I'm going to go get a coffee. I don't know today. I don't know. Thanksgiving. If Cumberland Farms.

Here in Rhode Island is open. But we're going to find out. Alright. Well have a good Thanksgiving. Have some good turkey. And a good turkey nap. See some football later. And I'll talk to everyone.

Later on. I'll pick out a system for the day. Alright. I'll talk to you later. Alright. Bye.
