Cobra_Commanda

Xennial amazon still living in the 90's. Cozy chillstreams of mostly retro. I love pixel art, point & clicks, fantasy JRPGs. Killer writing wins; I played text-based BBS games before you were born (probably). Playing on OG Hardware courtesy of @Neon_Arcade.

Channel FAQ's

**When do you stream?** My counterpart @neon_arcade and I typically alternate nights, around 9-10 PM EST to 1-2 AM. **Why “Cobra Commanda?"** My name is Amanda, so my G.I. Joe-loving cousin started calling me that as a nickname and it stuck. **Why are you streaming on Twitch?** @neon_arcade said that if I was already playing 4 to 5 hours of video games each night, then I might as well get on Twitch, since people might want to watch me. Turns out, he was right! **Is that *your* cool retro tech equipment behind you?** The only thing that's mine in that room are the GoPro and the Switch; everything else belongs to @neon_arcade. Jump on his stream if you want to ask any questions about it! And yes, we play on the original consoles. **How did you get into video games?** I loved reading and escaping into fantasy books as a child in the 80’s & 90’s; my dad was an early computer adopter, and I got really into text-based games at a young age. My brothers also owned pretty much every major video game console from Atari up through the PS2, although we were (and are) definitely a Nintendo family. I also fell in love with the stories and gorgeous pixel graphics of Sierra and LucasArts point & clicks—particularly *King’s Quest VI*. About a decade ago, I started watching Let’s Plays because they would cheer me up if I was feeling down, reminding me of languid afternoons during the summer and winter breaks of my childhood spent watching my brothers trying to beat a particularly difficult game. It was a feeling of carefree timelessness I cherished and which is hard to find in adulthood, but it’s what I strive for in my own streams. **How long have you been doing this?** My first solo stream was on March 19, 2021, however I had previously joined @neon_arcade for a few streams on his channel.
