A small Twitch streamer known as “swiftyfeets” was happily streaming VALORANT before realizing something terrible: her taquitos were on the verge of destruction. Like any other sane, taquito-loving citizen would do, she made a sprint for the kitchen to snag them before they ended up a burnt mess. The catch? She accidentally took her stationary streaming setup with her.
After enough hours of gaming, a headset can start to feel like an extension of the body. In fact, it’s easy to forget it even exists upon your head. Unfortunately for swifty, this was indeed the case.
Expensive tragedy aside, her reaction was priceless. After casually muttering “I need to go make some food,” swifty realized that she had already done just that. Eyes instantly blooming as wide as saucers, she let out a hysteric, “My f**king taquitos!” before making a break for it.
Based on the smashing sounds and wild camera footage, her headset took everything on her desk down. The worst part: her computer was apparently sitting up there too.
Users found the disaster horrific yet hilarious. Despite only housing 79 followers on her channel, the clip picked up over 80,000 views in a single day. Redditors were quick to offer their condolences on the scuffed equipment.
Luckily, the small streamer found a way to continue streaming. One day later, she is live and still streaming VALORANT. However, her title now reads – “no, the computer is not okay, no we don’t need to talk about it! let’s just play some valorant :) :) :) <3” – indicating a good mixture of humor and shame.
This isn’t the first time a streamer has dealt with equipment trauma. Recently, another small streamer was attempting to assemble his new PC before it turned into a smoking ruin. Yellowspoongirl also annihilated her mouse and keyboard last fall by spilling water all over the place.
When is comes to taquitos, few things are more important. Burning the delicious food is a heinous act so it’s hard to blame swifty for her hurried reaction. Although her computer is now in shambles – at least there was a plate of taquitos waiting to help balance out the misery.
