Hello and welcome to the channel! I'm TheCheeseball81 (or Cheeseball, Cheese, whatever) and I am a retro variety streamer.
+ She/Her
+ I live in New York (EST)
+ I do not have a set schedule; Twitch is more a hobby for me
+ I'm super laid back and want us all to have a fun and chill time here
Ideally, I want this channel to be an outlet; a place where we can all hang out to unwind, relax, disconnect and reconnect with the nostalgia of retro games. **Games don't just let you escape, they also help you remember.** So come hang out with us!
Oh look, here is [Cheeseball's Twitter](https://twitter.com/TheCheeseball81)
And sometimes I do [Retro Achievements](https://retroachievements.org/user/TheCheeseball81)
EMOTES! I recommend installing the BTTV and FrankerFaceZ plugins so you can enjoy all the cool and fun emotes in this channel and others!

I want everyone to have fun, and I also want to continually keep this a fun, chill and positive place! Some here's some basic rules:
+ Be kind and respectful to others
+ No trolling, bullying, sexism, racism, homophobia or other hate-based chat
+ No ethnic, sexual, religious, disability or transphobic slurs
+ Swearing is okay! Fuck!
+ No advertising or self-promotion
+ Don’t argue with people over chat; especially the moderators
+ Don't complain about what I play nor tell me what to play
+ No using the word "moist" I despise that word and you will get timed out if you try, then banned if you try again
+ Just be cool and don't be a jerk! :)
As a child of the 80's, retro games are near and dear to my heart so that is mostly what you will see here. On occasion, I will play modern games, arcade games and romhacks.
I am a retired speedrunner. I will no longer be speedrunning games, only playing casually now.
Speedrunning was (mostly) a positive experience and I am proud of what I accomplished and proud of what I was able to share with the speedrunning community; as far as sharing strats, advice, tutorials, etc.
I am happy to still help anyone with questions regarding the games I ran.

Thank you to those who have supported me and the channel over the last 5 years. I've been blown away by the generosity from the viewers. Between bits, gift subs, donations - just all of it - I don't even have the words to say how much I appreciate all of you. As someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, the community that we've built here has been a bright spot in my life that I never expected. You're all amazing!
