For technology, you can spend a lot of money, especially as a tech enthusiast. However, Twitch streamer Mizkif recently came across a setup that left him speechless.
Who is it about? Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo was still working as a cameraman for the controversial Twitch streamer Ice Poseidon in 2018. Today, the 27-year-old is one of the biggest streamers on the platform. Mizkif recently made headlines after he rejected a pretty lucrative deal.
The streamer has over 2 million followers on Twitch. He streams in categories such as Just Chatting, but has also recently shown games like Mario Kart or Counter Strike.
In one of his latest streams, Mizkif watched various videos from viewers who conducted small tours of their rooms and showed their PC setups.
A viewer caught Mizkif’s attention with a $500 donation – because he really wanted Mizkif to check out his setup.
Cameras, Monitors, PCs, and Lights – “Why?”
Mizkif engaged with the viewer, who claimed to have the best room of all. He asked on Twitter: “Who has setups better than mine? I’m waiting.”
Mizkif felt challenged. He doubted that any viewer could have a better setup than him. So, he watched the video.
This is what the viewer shows: The video features a kind of production room filled with unusual lighting and a lot of technology. The viewer points out various tech toys, but also really expensive devices that he uses for his streams.
You can see how that looks here in the video:
Among other things, the viewer speaks of four Red-V-Raptor camera production kits, each costing over $30,000. Additionally, there are numerous monitors and a total of four PCs with two 3090 and two 3090Ti graphics cards, which are not exactly cheap either.
Additional cameras from Sony, lighting, and more complete the picture. Among other things, there is also decoration that the viewer particularly highlights: various collectibles in the background, as well as so-called “Nano Leaf” lighting, which is arranged in a detailed manner to illuminate the setting.
Furthermore, the viewer points out a cloud-like ceiling, pandas riding doves, and a moon in the background, which is meant to give a little “Japanese Forest vibe” – along with cherry blossoms and leaves on the wall.
Additionally, the name “SniperPanda” is visible again and again – that’s what the viewer calls himself.
Twitch streamer is amazed by this tech overkill
This is how Mizkif reacts: The room of “SniperPanda” definitely caught Mizkif off guard. He repeatedly looks in disbelief at what is being shown to him: “Why the hell do you have leaves and trees in your room?”, he asks. The sheer number of cameras shocks the streamer: “What the hell do you want to do? Do you want to film heads, shoulders, knees, and toes? What is the point?”
The viewer has more cameras than Mizkif’s entire production company, the streamer claims: “I didn’t know cameras could grow. He harvests those cameras,” Mizkif comments on the camera garden. The many monitors also confuse him: “What is the reason? Why do you need a TV on the floor?”
For the streamer, the room seems to have too much of everything somehow:
I would always prefer my setup. Instead of these antennas, soundboard, keyboard. That’s wasting money. I don’t want to be rude. Do your thing. But that looks like so much work. I just find that it’s not necessary. You have more cameras than the entire production of OTK. What’s that good for?
For Mizkif, all this technology is pointless: “That’s probably worth half a million dollars,” the streamer estimates. In his view, it’s not needed: “Is that better? No. But man, you have a lot of tech. If you ever have a garage sale, let me know.
Also, the comments mainly express confusion about why one would need such a large amount of high-end technology at all.
What is the setup good for? Mizkif is still searching in his stream for the viewer, to find out who he actually is. The viewer turns out to be “Neon Sniper Panda” – a streamer who is also active on Twitch.
He also counts more than a million followers on the platform, but his viewer numbers are in a significantly lower range. In his production room, he primarily produces a podcast – among other things, with other streamers, but also with e-girls.
“I always say, other people have streams, we have productions,” he commented on his setup at the start of the video. On Twitter, he also reacted to Mizkif’s criticism:
“Bro, @REALMizkif just flamed my setup. I told him I have a development company, Bro told me to develop some viewers.
What do you think of the setup? Do you think it’s nonsense, or does the production room appeal to you? Let us know in the comments!
