A livestream format where the streamer roleplays as a video-game NPC, repeating a small set of scripted lines and reactions on a loop regardless of what chat says or pays to trigger.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Ice cream, so good — ice cream, so good — she's been doing the npc stream loop for six hours straight."

LORE & ORIGIN

Broke out on TikTok LIVE in mid-2023 when streamers discovered looping robotic reactions triggered by gifts was both a joke and a highly monetizable format, spawning countless imitators.
