Twitch streamer Aikobliss recently experienced an emotional moment when she received a surprising gift from her sponsor: a brand new computer. This one was intended to replace its almost 10-year-old predecessor, which regularly let it down by crashing during its streams.
Who is Aikobliss? With an impressive following of over 130,000 followers on Twitch, Aikobliss has established herself as one of the leading figures in gaming content. She is particularly known for her thrilling streams as part of GTA roleplay on the NoPixel server.
But even as she took on virtual roles, her performance was often hampered by the limitations of her outdated computer.

What problem was she struggling with? For those familiar with GTA roleplay, it is clear that technical problems can disrupt the flow of the game. In an environment based on immersion and authenticity, constant crashes and interruptions caused by an unstable PC are a real nuisance.
Aikobliss, although not to blame for the problems, still had to deal with the consequences. Not only did this cause her frustration, but it could also impact her audience’s gaming experience.
In late January, she shared a snippet on Twitter showing GTA running on her nine-year-old computer, accompanied by the statement that her PC was doing its best:
“This is one of the nicest things I have ever received”
What has changed now? The turning point came when Aikobliss received a surprisingly large package from her sponsor in one of her streams. With curious anticipation, she tried to open the package and reveal the contents.
When she finally pulled out the pink and purple Japanese-style computer that was lovingly packaged, she couldn’t hold back her tears. Overwhelmed by the generosity of this gift, she began to shake and cry as she marveled at the magnificence of the new PC.
As she tried to hold herself together, she was heard saying, “This is one of the nicest things I’ve ever gotten.”
Last year, prominent Twitch streamer MontanaBlack also decided to make a significant investment in his gaming equipment. With a budget of 15,000 euros, he purchased a state-of-the-art gaming PC that was not only powerful but also included a built-in PlayStation 5. This innovative combination allowed him to not only play and stream the latest PC games at high performance, but also enjoy exclusive titles from Sony’s popular gaming console.
How did your community react? Aikobliss’ emotional reaction was felt not only by her sponsor, but also by her community. Her chat exploded with joy and support, with comments like “Well deserved” and “We’re so happy for you” filling the screen.
Twitch streamer Kyedae also enjoyed two packages from her sponsor Riot Games with a selection of gifts and a heartfelt letter. You can read more about it here: Twitch: Riot is giving the Valorant streamer a “Cozy Care Package” so that she feels comfortable despite her serious illness
