In addition, the residentsleeper twitch emote serves as an excellent tool for streamers to express that they are tired, it is getting late, or they have been streaming for too long and are ready for sleep.
Sadly, the emote is no longer available! It’s a shame, as it was so cool!
Twitch removed residentsleeper sometime in 2016 for a valid reason. The reason for the “residentsleeper removed” decision was that the emote was of very poor quality (extremely low pixel count), so it had to be discontinued.
Even worse, there wasn’t an “original” resident sleeper to upgrade and enhance to a higher quality, leaving us streamers empty-handed.
Still, the reality that any true streamer is lamenting is that it appears the twitch sleep emote isn’t returning!
The Story Behind
It’s a humorous tale of how Residentsleeper was created!
Specifically, residentsleeper twitch was created thanks to OddlerPro, a Twitch streamer who participated in a 72-hour marathon and fell asleep during it!
To make matters worse, he dozed off during a Resident Evil marathon!
So lame!
Clearly, that’s why it’s called a resident sleeper! A clever play on words, indeed!
Now, the only thing left for us is to keep our fingers crossed for the residentsleepr to return!
