I'm LIVE on #Twitch now and checking out the questionable history of ULTRAMAN in video games as #Jankuary continues! Get in here and see what we can find. twitch.tv/neon_arcade #retrogaming #twitchpartner 🎮💜

Tuesday 1/12 Jankuary Streamer Spotlights - Day 5, let's go! 💪😼

My Jankuary spotlight is tonight at 11 PM at CobraCommanda on Twitch! 🥳 Xena is my spirit animal--my first-ever cosplay in 2012, photo is from 2015 (sadly it no longer fits me and is falling apart 😂). We are checking out this Xena jank tonight gifted to me by fellow streamer PurblindGamer! 💜

FINALLY finished Deus Ex last night! 🥳 I'm sure it will come as no surprise that we opted to blow things up and let Earth start over again organically. 😎 Amazing game, thanks for raiding @chaide.bsky.social ShaggyTurtle_Studios @evieblanche.bsky.social @thestytch.bsky.social & captain_jax_vs_games!

Am having a blast with @jankuary.bsky.social so far as a viewer, but I can't get in on the streaming fun until I finally put Deus Ex to bed, so that's happening tonight at twitch.tv/cobracommanda! 🫡😎 Although Deus Ex itself is arguably janky at times... 🙃

If you haven't heard about Jankuary then check out the blog post I wrote and read last years interview so you are ready for the event! Lots of good people play some really Jank stuff

OMG IT'S HAPPENING!!!! TONIGHT at 10 PM @neonarcade.bsky.social it getting an early start to kicking off the whole dang Jankuary event (officially starts at midnight EST)--this is going to be FUN! And terrible! 🥳

Yes, the plan is still to wrap up Deus Ex before my Jankuary spotlight on Sunday night--this game is so good! 🤩 Continuing over at twitch.tv/cobracommanda in an hour or so 💜🎮

From what I understand we're within 2 or 3 streams of completing Deus Ex, so my goal is to finish the game before my Jankuary stream next Sunday (1/11)--We're heading to Paris tonight and I don't know what to expect but am hoping for Broken Sword 1 vibes 😁🥐

Last chance to sign up for Jankuary, everyone! 😱

Today just FLEW by, and my streaming schedule in 2026 is going to be less... shall we say "regimented" than it has for the past nearly 5 years (since I started in March 2021). 🤪 So yeah, tonight we're going with MORE DEUS EX! Still have tons of ground to cover and I'm loving it.

Jankuary spotlight signups close TOMORROW 1/4! There are over 100 streamers signed up already and the schedule is jam-packed with terrible games 🚫📷Make sure to check it before you submit for a spotlight over at jankuary.com/index.php/st... - remaining time slots are in short supply! 📷

TONIGHT I make my triumphant return to Twitch with more glorious Deus Ex conspiracy theory times! 🥳😎 Catch me in a few hours over at CobraCommanda on Twitch ~

I have decided to try to write a new blog post each day for 2026! So expect more of these going forward: "Why Do I Write in Such a Different Style Than Most Blogs?" open.substack.com/pub/cobracom...

Happy New Year! 🍷👑 If your New Year's resolution was to sign up for Jankuary, then you'd best get on that fast because as of today there are only 3 days left until streamer spotlight signups close! 😱 Jankuary.com is the site, you know what to do 🫵😼

Part 2 of my 2025 wrap-up on Substack! In this part I talk more about some of the fantastic games I streamed/played this year, and where I want to head with my content in 2026: cobracommanda.substack.com/p/2025-wrap-...

First Substack post in a year, reflecting on 2025😆😭 Too long so I'm breaking it into 2 parts! 😱 Part 2 coming tomorrow, but in the meantime: open.substack.com/pub/cobracom...

Know your Horsetory! The Faery Tale Adventure on the Mega Drive may have brought us the worlds first onscreen Manswan. But many forget it also brought us the world's first on screen fusion of Man, Woman and Horse. We laugh now but this was bold progressive step in equestrian visibility.

A reminder that I'm taking the rest of 2025 off Twitch--go watch @neonarcade.bsky.social tonight & THANK YOU recent raiders @tawejea.bsky.social @nocturnalhanna.bsky.social @rushpirate1.bsky.social @residentstevil.bsky.social @neimadsattic.bsky.social @retrojenny.bsky.social @n30v3n0m.bsky.social! 💜

I’d been seeing these holiday simmer pot kits for sale everywhere, usually starting at $10–I decided to make my own at home. With the recipe I used, the only additional ingredients I had to buy today were rosemary sprigs and an orange. Turned out great and smells wonderful!

For nearly a decade I've been helping @neonarcadegrant to salvage abandoned CRT TVs on the side of the road; I never understood the appeal until I happened to spot this little cutie while driving home alone from the mall on Saturday night. It even has a built-in VCR!! 🤩📺📼

Assuming we can even stream tonight with these internet issues 😖 here is the door for Day 15 of Neon & Cobra's Christmas Advent-ure on Twitch! 🎄🎅🎁☃️❄️

We were just talking about The Princess Bride in my stream the other night; it was my favorite live action (non-animated) film as a child. Everyone had only positive things to say about it, and he made many other wonderful movies as well. I am very saddened by this news. 😟

I'm posting this a bit later, but I wanted to thank everyone for the phenomenal support on Twitch this year, especially as I moved into Retro Variety with newer titles, themes, and genres I'd never played before. WEIRD NOVEMBER was especially fun. I'm looking forward to 2026! 🥳

Night 13, yay! 🥳 It's a bit delayed because we've been following the very upsetting events happening right near where I used to live in Providence, RI. 😞 I plan to address it briefly at the start of the stream but would appreciate people not bringing it up further, thank you 💜
