Cobra Commanda

I'm hoping it might help others during these strange times we're living in. Anyway, I'll see you around! ☺️

I'm still around and I'm fine, but I want to make sense of things (as much as I can) and possibly make some content adjustments before ramping back up again. Part of that might actually include talking about my long-term emotional/spiritual journey and perspectives, if anyone would be interested. ✨

As we know social media can be very toxic and stress-inducing, and over the years I've learned to listen to internal warning signals and slow down/reassess rather than push myself to the point of depletion purely out of routine/habit. Not sure how long this will take--hopefully not too long!

Hey all, just a quick update: While I'm thankfully feeling better than I was the other night (thank you so much for your kind and supportive messages 💜), I still feel like I need a bit of a break to try to sort through some stuff physically and emotionally. [Part 1/4 ⬇️]

Thank you! 💜 Also I felt bad that I couldn't respond to you more about Tunic during the GTA chaos. I really did enjoy it--also the hardcover of the manual from Fangamer.com arrived and it is incredible quality! I haven't wanted to take off the plastic wrap yet cause it's so nice 😆

Thanks @th4tgamerchick.bsky.social, you rock! 💜

Thanks Abby, I really appreciate that 💜🤗

Hi all, an hour or two ago I started getting a bad anxiety attack out of the blue and am unfortunately not feeling up to streaming tonight anymore. I'll let you all know when I'm up for it again--hopefully soon. Thank you for understanding 💜

We were JUST making fun of this in @neonarcade.bsky.social's chat last night because someone requested Doki Doki Panic--how every time you mention SMB2 in Retro Twitch some rando has to interject, "DID YOU KNOW that this was originally Doki Doki Panic?" to try to sound "impressive" 🤦‍♀️ YES WE ALL KNOW

It was fun kicking off GTA San Andreas on Friday! Tonight we'll get back to retro adventure games kicking off my first-ever playthrough of Quest for Glory V! While I'm not excited for 3D polygons, I am excited for ancient Grecian theming! 🇬🇷🏦🏝️⛵️🐉 See you there!

It’s on

You asked for it, well it's BACK. See you tonight 😎

TUNIC Hardcover Instruction Book A sacred book.  This special printing presents TUNIC's in-game manual (also available inside Nintendo Switch, PlayStation®4, and XBox copies of the game) in a big (9.5x7.25-inch) hardcover edition pac...

Very nice! The whole game is definitely a mood/vibe, as the kids say. I actually ended up ordering the hardcover instruction manual: www.fangamer.com/collections/...

The SHMUPmaster strikes again! 🚀👾💫

Gotta say, TUNIC was a great experience and a really fun game to play--I do absolutely recommend it! 💜 But rather than take Friday off as usual, I'm going to take tonight off instead to prepare for an exciting event kicking off that night (8/1), so get ready everyone...! 😉😎🥳

I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing weekend! ☺️ Tonight we get back to more TUNIC on Twitch tonight--apparently I've reached the part that I'm going to enjoy the most, so I'm really looking forward to it! 🥳 Hope to see you there 💜

For Wednesday's marathon I (mostly) chose the games; now it's your turn! 😉 Join us at CobraCommanda on Twitch in an hour or two for Viewer's Choice Retro Console Grab Bag Night and go wild! 😎🎮📺

I wasn't sure at all what to expect with my first-ever sub-a-thon yesterday, but we ended up going for 11 1/2 hours 😱 and that was all thanks to your *incredible*/generosity. I appreciate it SO MUCH and ended up having a really great time. See you Saturday for Grab Bag Night! 💜

LIVE NOW! 🥳

Hi all, no stream tonight because tomorrow 7/23 is my 1-year Twitch Partnerversary! 🥳I'm doing a Sub-a-Thon which means chat can donate to make me stream as long as they want. 😬😅 Been too scared to do one before! We'll have giveaway raffles and fun festive times--Be there! 😎

Despite not being a big survival horror fan, I played Post Trauma twice as long as I expected to--it's quite good, I recommend checking it out! And ofc I LOVE Blue Prints, actually rolled credits last night off-stream (but there's still more to do!) Tonight is more TUNIC 🦊🧝

Tonight we're in for a SCARY stream checking out Post Trauma on the PC! 😳 I'm not usually much of one for survival horror, but I hear it's really good--if it gets too scary we can switch back to Blue Prince, my current addiction of choice. 🤪 I'm super close to Room 46!

I did a quick informal Discord poll on what to play tonight: 63% of the community chose Tunic, so we have a clear winner! However I'll admit I'm now completely addicted to Blue Prince, so if enough people want it, maybe I'll try to squeeze in a few runs towards the end... 💙🤴

Happy Birthday Dreamy! 🥳

That was a fun grab bag night playing PC games on Friday! Tonight I'm very excited to check out a game I've heard amazing things about: Blue Prince, developed by @dogubomb.bsky.social and published by @rawfury.bsky.social. I hear the game is partly inspired by the 1985 puzzle book Maze. 9:30ish EST!

I'm live on #Twitch with 👢GENESIS DOESN'T - Weird Homebrew and Bootlegs on Real Hardware. Want to see the darker, stranger, and downright terrifying side of the #Genesis? Tune in now. twitch.tv/neon_arcade #retrogaming #twitchpartner

Big progress on my Playdate game this week: you can now talk to the egret. The egret is not very chatty tho #Playdate #PlaydateDev

It has been a wonky week scheduling-wise due to jury duty and we have plans for tmrw night, so my Grab Bag Stream is being moved to TODAY! And it's a very special one: I'll be taking your requests for DOS and Amiga games on the MiSTer!! 🥳💾 CobraCommanda on Twitch & YouTube! 📺

Hi all, I'm taking today/night off streaming as I thought might happen (thus why I streamed last Friday night when I normally wouldn't). Will hope to see you all on Thursday, take care in the meantime! 💜 (Photo is something I took on a walk the other evening)

TONIGHT! Assuming our tech/setup is working 😅 I plan to begin playing Tunic on the Switch, a game that has been *heavily* recommended to me by multiple different people. Come join me on Twitch (aiming for 9:30 EST) and let's see what all the fuss is about!
