JackAttackDX
((RETURNS JUNE 10TH)) Retro and Nostalgic Comfort Gamer, and Mental Health Positive streamer. Transparency about mental health is so important! I welcome all chatters and lurkers here in the Bonus Room!
**Hello there!** I'm Jack. I started streaming on Twitch in 2019, and in the time since then I've been settling into my groove. Initially, I simply wanted to play the games that I enjoy, and show people why I love these games so much! Nowadays, I still strive for this philosophy, but I'm genuinely hopeful to make new friends and continue seeking out "my people," as it were.
On my channel, I tend to be focused on playing retro games, especially nostalgic comfort games. A lot of my alerts are based on the SNES game Earthbound, which is basically my favorite game ever! I also tend to play a lot of platforming games, it's practically my comfort genre. Other favorites include *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild*, *Shadow of the Colossus*, *BioShock*, and *Super Mario World*.
I also consider myself a mental health positive streamer. As someone who's battled anxiety disorders and depression most of his adult life, I love being open about my own journey with mental health. Every Monday, I do a Mental Health Discussion stream and I welcome full engagement during these shows.
When I'm not gaming, I'm checking out movies new and old, and supporting my friends when I'm able to! I work full-time, so sometimes it's hard to catch my breath--but I'm always bound and determined to keep walking!
***Be good to yourselves, and be good to each other. Keep spreading love wherever you go, because the world needs more of it!***
I love having all kinds of friendos and mutuals chatting with me! With this said, I have a few ground rules.
***YOU MUST BE 18+ IN ORDER TO CHAT! NO EXCEPTIONS.***
**(1) Be respectful to everyone!** This includes fellow viewers, moderators, and myself. Disrespectful behavior and language will not be tolerated. *Additionally, if you receive unsolicited DMs from other viewers, let me or a moderator know as soon as possible.*
**(2) Do not discuss politics and religion.** This should be a given.
**(3) Ask before offering game hints.** I think the thrill of gaming is solving a puzzle or figuring out a difficult boss fight by myself. I appreciate you wanting to help! I do. Just be sure to ask if I want it first.
**(4) No blatant self-promotion.** I always welcome discussions relating to streaming. With this said, please refrain from speaking in ways that could be perceived as advertising your streams, or your friend's.
**(5) Read the room, and be mindful with what you're saying.** I'm open to discussing several topics, mental health or otherwise. For the sake of keeping the chat a safe environment for other viewers, avoid discussing anything that could be triggering for others.
Repeat violations could lead to timeouts, warnings, or a ban. Any questions, ask.

I have my own community Discord, **The Bonus Room**! There is absolutely no pressure to join; I know that everyone and their grandmother seems to have a Discord server, so join only if you want to. However, if you do join, expect the following: Streaming updates; watch parties; and more! I usually post date, time, or game changes for streams to Discord before social media. Click the panel to join!
**Note that the Bonus Room server is only for those 18 or older.**
### My Current Schedule!
*All streams start at 6PM ET/3PM PT, unless otherwise noted. Please check social media and Discord for any updates.*
**Mondays: Mental Health Matters!**
Every Monday, I put the controller down to discuss a mental health topic. During these streams I encourage viewers to share their stories about said topic! *Note that I am not a licensed therapist; I encourage all viewers to speak with a professional for clinical diagnoses or other help. Users feeling unsafe should contact emergency services.*
**Wednesdays: Wildcard!**
On Wednesdays, it could be anything. Some Just Chatting, another longplay, maybe something else random. Either way, it's another JackAttack stream!
**Fridays: Long Play Day!**
Every Friday, I chip away at a game that takes a little more time to get through! I focus on one longplay at a time.
**Saturdays: Saturday Evening Challenge**
To close out the week, I play a retro game that's known to be slightly more challenging and make it a goal to improve on it until I finish it off! I usually start off casual but eventually work my way towards being an ace at it, if I can help it.
I have an active social media presence! You can find me on most of the major social platforms, such as Twitter and Instagram. I'm also on TikTok and YouTube! Clicking the panel brings you to my website which links to every social media presence I have.
You can also find me on various gaming platforms:
**Steam - JackAttackDX_TTV**
**PSN - JackAttackDX_**
**Xbox - JackAttackDX**
**First and foremost, tips are absolutely NEVER REQUIRED! I appreciate you even considering it.**
However, given the sizable pay split between Twitch and their Affiliates and Partners, tips do more in the long run to directly help your favorite creators. All tips sent to me through this link will be used for expenses that help keep my lights on and continue working so I can make these streams the best they can be!
**Tips are non-refundable.**
**P.S. If you want to buy something for me directly, I do have an [Amazon wishlist!](https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2P8I9DNFFVYH4?ref_=wl_share)**
