Gooday Gaming Guests - Overcoming Obstacles

Episode Date: November 21, 2024

No Matter how hard you work things still go wrong.

All right, so today was a nice, later on, midday. I called the buyers 911 message. So we'll talk about that, just some things. Basically, I try to do everything I can to get you what you need as quickly as possible in the best condition that I can find. However, these are old systems, not 3D printing new parts at all. So there's certain things that are inside systems that get worn. So we'll do more on this issue. I'm sure i'm gonna get a negative feedback about it

because these days i don't tend to handle things as good as i used to just because it's just a it was a heat sink uh that's been inside of a xbox original xbox 360 most of the heat sinks are usually in the the ones i sell i got tons of videos showing me pulling the heat sinks off of these and they're rough inside they're always uh heat sinks are not meant to be pretty uh their only job is to take out take on the, and the ones that this buyer complained about is usually I can hardly ever find them. They're really hard to find.

And they're basically meant to put the original ones back in and replace the Bolt mod. That's it. That's all there is for a few bucks. So anyway, it's getting returned and we'll see how that all plays out.

So I kind of bummed out my day. The day was going really good, too, besides having to... So I told them just to return it, and it's already being returned. When it comes back, we'll talk about it. Actually, tomorrow I'm'm gonna do some more I got a few more now because they're really hard to find it's the it's my best heatsink set That I make sure I have so buyers can buy them And I've never had a problem before and but again, they're not pretty a lot of them are not pretty inside

But I cleaned it up as much as I could before I shipped it. It just wasn't good enough. And of course the buyer always zooms in on that one spot. The one thin or two that had a little wear on it. As opposed to showing the two heat sinks

that I shipped as a set. That was the best ships I could find. They're really hard to get to. I only have a couple left now. Tomorrow we'll pull some more and show you what they look like. As you pull them. Anytime you go inside of a system, and I've been in hundreds and hundreds of systems,

actually thousands of systems, it's always dusty, dirty, often bugged. But this wasn't bugged or anything. It was just worn. So you've got gotta expect that. Alright, so we're gonna go find something

to do for... Shit. I did a fun little thing about Xbox Ones earlier with my buddy Zippy. Really interested in the advancements in terabytes

to petabytes which is a significant upgrade. Then there's a zetabyte and there's an exabyte and then there's a yodabyte. So many many years away for all those. But petabyte would be the next one.

But even that's going to be a few years away. So I'm very fascinated by it. Where you get that storage from. Because you've got to put it somewhere. It's got to keep going micro inside of a micro, right? does it come from where do you put it all very interesting big companies use those petabytes now she said they're using some of the other stuff to the zettabytes or the exabytes so it's tb for terabyte pb for exabyte and i think it's an XB and then there's a ZB and YB I think. Alright so now I so I do my two stories a night now obstacles so I type in a little idea

obstacles overcoming obstacles in the winter in the winter in the winter four what has troubles in the winter? I like doing animals so kind of an animal theme story about overcoming obstacles in the winter.

I did birds already, so four. Let's see. What has trouble hiding for beer? We'll do it for beer. Overcome obstacles for beer. We'll do it for beer. Overcome obstacles for beer.

Once upon a time, in the heart of a snow-covered forest, lived a young bear named Bramble. Bramble was no ordinary bear. Oh, I'm digging this one already. I'll make sure

it's working. Okay. He was curious, clever, and full of determination. While most beers would be fast asleep in their cozy dens during the cold, harsh winter, Bramble found himself in an unusual predicament. His den had collapsed under the weight of the heavy snow and now he needed to find shelter and food to survive the search for shelter the forest was a winter wonderland but the bramble it felt like a maze of icy challenges. The snow was deep. The cold wind howled through the trees, making it hard to see or hear.

Bramble trudged on, his thick fur barely keeping him warm. He remembered the stories his mother had told him about how the old hollow tree near the frozen river, a tree so big it could fit a bear inside. With renewed hope, Bramble set out towards the river. Along the way, he encountered fallen branches blocking his path and slippery patches of ice that sent them tumbling more than once. But Bramble was determined.

He used his strong claws to clear the branches and his sharp mind to find steady footing on the ice. The Hungry Wolf Pack As Bramble narrow nailed the frozen river, he caught a scent that made his stomach grumble. Berries. He followed the smell and discovered a bush heavy with winter berries. Just as he was about to eat, a low growl stopped him in his tracks. A pack of wolves emerged from the shadows, their eyes gleaming hungrily.

Bramble knew he could not run them on this icy ground, so he needed a plan. He grabbed a branch and used it to sweep the berries away from himself, scattering them across the snow. The wolves, distracted by the easy meal, pounced on the berries, giving Brangle time needed to escape. The Frozen River When Bramble finally reached the frozen river, he found the hollow tree. It was as grand as the stories had said, with a wide opening and a snug interior. But there was a problem. The entrance was half buried in snow and ice. Bramble clawed at the frozen barrier, his muscles aching from his effort. Just when he thought he couldn't dig anymore, he remembered his mother's advice. When the mountain is too high, climb around it.

Taking her words to heart, Bramble used a full branch to chip away at the ice instead of trying to dig through it. Bit by bit, the entrance cleared. At last, Bramble squeezed inside inside curling up in the warmth of his new temporary home lessons learned the rest of the winter passed slowly but safely for bramble the hollow tree provided shelter and bramble found ways to gather food and stay warm even on the coldest nights. He learned the value of persistence and quick thinking and when spring finally arrived he emerged stronger and wiser.

Bramble's story spread through the forest, inspiring other animals to face their challenges with courage and determination. And from that winter on, Bramble was known as the bear who turned every obstacle into an opportunity. The end. It's amazing how fast my zipping can come up with a really cool story like that. That was pretty cool. I like that one. Let's see what else we can do. So we're gonna go

sticking with the overcoming obstacles go finding finding a way back finding a way back let's see everything for a second here where am I at? I tried to do like twenty minutes

so I'm at like eleven so we'll do one more story. I really like to keep the animal theme going. Let's do... The fish yesterday in the water. How about a beaver? Beaver. Beaver. Loses. The beaver loses his way in a flood. I'll just go, the beaver loses his way in a flood.

The beaver loses his way in a flood Beaver loses his way in a flood Let's see what it comes up with The tale of Benny the Beaver That's awesome Deep in the heart of Lush Valley a beaver named Benny lived happily by the river Benny was an expert builder

famous for his sturdy dams that created perfect ponds with his beaver family. Benny's world changed one fateful spring when heavy rain swelled the river into a roaring flood. The storm arrived suddenly, the winds howling and rain pouring down in torrents. Benny's family huddled in their lodge, safe and dry, while the water rose higher and higher. But in the late night, a powerful surge of water broke through the dam. Benny jumped into action, determined to assess the damage.

I'll fix the dam and be right back, Benny called to his family as he swam into the swirling current. But the flood was stronger than he expected. A massive wave tore him from the dam, sweeping him downstream.

Lost in the rapids. When the storm subsided, Benny found himself far from home, stranded in an unfamiliar part of the valley. The water had carried him miles away, to a dense forest where the river split into countless channels his lodge and his family nowhere in sight benny felt a peg of fear the flood had washed away all the landmarks he relied on to navigate the once familiar riverbanks were now chaotic and unorganized. I have to find my way back, Benny said to himself.

But how? As Benny wandered through the muddy banks, he came across a family of otters playing in the pond's calm pool. They noticed his distressed expression and swarmed over. You look lost, the eldest otter said. I am, Benny admitted. The flood carried me from my home when I don't know how to go back. The otters conferred amongst themselves. We know this part of the river well, said one of them. We'll help you find your way navigating the unknown with the otters guiding him benny began to journey upward up river the path was not easy they had to navigate fallen trees debris debris, and swift current.

Along the way, Benny used his building skills to create makeshift bridges and safe crossings. When they reached a fork in the river, Benny felt overwhelmed. Which way do I go? Trust the current, the oldest otter advised. The main river always flows deeper and stronger. Benny observed the water carefully and noticed the slight difference in flow between the channels. He chose the path with the strongest current and the otters nodded in approval finding home as benny paddled onward the landscape began to look

began to look familiar he organized a cluster of willow trees in the bend in the river where he had gathered branches his hot sword finally ben Benny spotted his lodge. Still standing strong despite the flood destruction, his family rushed out to greet him, their faces filled with relief and joy. Lessons from the Flood That night, as they rebuilt their dam together, Benny shared the story of his journey. He told his family about the otter's

kindness, his determination to preserve the river, and the importance of staying calm in the face of uncertainty. From then on Benny was known not just as a great builder but also as a beaver who could find his way, no matter how strong the storm. When the other animals in the valleys faced challenges, they turned to Benny for guidance, knowing he would always help them find their path to the end. Those are two good stories.

I like keeping the animal theme, though. But we'll mix it up, though. Yesterday I did a fish, and what else did I do yesterday? So those are my two stories for the night. So, let's see where we're at now. So I try to keep things inspirational and

about going forward and all that. Try to keep that theme going as much as I can. Even from my own time, things that get difficult, you try to do as much as possible to do everything right and still things blow up

in your face for whatever reason. It just happens. Nothing you can really do about it. You just try to make the most of it. So I guess that'll be it for tonight. Tomorrow we'll do some Groundhog Day in the morning and see what tomorrow brings. And we'll discuss the whole heat sink debacle.

I'm just crazy. We've been talking about a heat sink. It's really crazy. Again, it's a 911 emergency I got for a message. Like the whole world was collapsing because my heat sink had a some, a little bit of grudging on some of the grills.

It's craziness. So, tomorrow we'll talk about that. I got three, I think three more to pull. They're really hard to find, so I've got to pull more. Show you what they look like. You can see the insides of what most systems look like and how bad they can be. And I actually, I use a wire brush, so I cleaned it as much as I could. Wire brushed it.

But, again, they were intact. Just a boast of replay bolt mods. Again, we're talking about the 360 heat sinks. So that kind of ends my night for like, uh, so I'll talk to you guys later. Have a good night.
