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.
