LIRIK spent his birthday the only way he knows how \u2013 with his Twitch family. Going live for a 29th birthday stream was as easy as waking up in the morning for the streaming superstar, and he was gearing up to play some more Star Citizen. However, halfway through a relatively normal stream, the streamer was shocked by a surprise announcement \u2013 from within the game \u2013 about his special day. The only issue being, the statement scared LIRIK more than it made him feel good. During his October 29 birthday stream, LIRIK was fooling around in Star Citizen completing some missions and doing some exploring. An ominous voice started looming around while he was cave diving, which is already a haunting enough experience. However, once the voice came down and wished him happy birthday, the streamer was spooked. \u201cDid he just say happy birthday,\u201d he asked his chat. He seemed confused at what was happening, even doubting that he heard it in the first place. \u201cI swear to God I just heard that,\u201d he said. What the f***. I think I\u2019m hearing things, there\u2019s no way. How would the alien know?\u201d It seems like the developers coded in this voiceline just for this occasion. LIRIK streams Star Citizen frequently, drawing a lot of attention to the game which has been in development for almost a decade now. He\u2019s been a vital part of their community after a rocky first few years of development saw the game fall behind with setback-after-setback. The developers did actually wish him a nicer happy birthday on Twitter. However, they didn\u2019t live up to their promise of \u201cno stream sniping as a birthday gift\u201d with this gag. Happy birthday @LIRIK who&#8217;s streaming Star Citizen right now. Let&#8217;s all agree to no stream sniping as a birthday gift, shall we?https:\/\/t.co\/a6CGwUcjdh \u2014 Star Citizen (@RobertsSpaceInd) October 29, 2019 The interaction in game was weird, but the sentiment behind it was nice. It\u2019s probably not the birthday gift LIRIK would have asked for, nor expected, but it was appreciated down the line. However, he\u2019d be hoping that next year during his 30th birthday stream that the voiceover is a little more friendly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Star Citizen developers wish LIRIK happy birthday in creepiest way Twitch star Saqib \u2018LIRIK\u2019 Zahid was enjoying his 29th birthday on October 29 with his stream, and the developers of Star Citizen joined in to celebrate \u2013 although in the creepiest way possible.
