Just shy of two weeks since the last time the hype train record has been broken by Neuro-sama, the Swarm decided "that's not enough".

And oh boy, did they deliver.

In case you can't see the image above or the graphic on the article preview (shoutout to fFrequence for making that fire graphic), the Swarm has gifted ~126,273 subs and donated 1,194,921 bits, breaking our own Hype Train record from 123 + 99% to 126 + 53%.

Additional knock-on effects of the 7-hour-long treasure train:

• Camila is now commissioning a new outfit for Neuro.
• Camila is also going to show feet (can we not talk about this please?)
• The collab with Layna got slightly delayed (by ~45 minutes).

In an attempt to keep this hype train from reaching so high, Vedal tried multiple tactics to divert or distract the Swarm, including:

• Adjusting the music to be extremely loud while Neuro is quiet.
• Playing the low health warning soundbyte from Pokémon Platinum when the timer is about to end.
• Actively not joining the stream during the train.

Despite this, however, the Swarm pushed through and reached the new hype train record in just under 2 weeks from the last one.

There were so many subs gifted that Twitch started to, uh, break a little. First, obviously, the Twitch site and app started lagging as more and more gifts were piling on at once. Then, the hype train disappeared even though the train was still going on, but this was fixed pretty quickly. Finally, Twitch started crashing and hanging people's tabs, using up absurd amounts of memory, forcing some people to have to go to the chat-only panel to be able to even follow along. To top all that off there was also at least one Twitch staff in the chat, likely enjoying (or suffering in) the chaos that was the Swarm at that time.

This hype train put Vedal at #5 most subscribed to channel on Twitch ever, surpassing other popular streamers like Ludwig and Ninja. This also furthers Vedal's lead in current amount of subscribers.
