The Controls Wouldn't Obey Me
Thinking about it, since it's a two-person party, the boss difficulty has increased.
Oh, right. Usually it's an easy map that you can clear alone.
“What? Why are you telling me this now?”
-I didn't ask. I just assumed you'd know.
-Still, it's early in the game. Even with three players, one person can handle it easily.
-The problem is that dodging feels extremely slow.
-Lmao, the reaction speed is way too slow.
“Wait, even if I press the arrow keys, it doesn't move at all. How am I supposed to do this?”
-Pressing it means I can't press it.
-Blocking means I can't block.
-Dodging means I can't dodge.
-Lmao, what kind of three-hit combo is this?
I clearly dodged to the right, but it didn't move at all.
I was so frustrated.
I pressed the diagonal left direction, but it didn't go down. I pressed right, but it didn't go diagonally down.
For some reason, it wasn't registering what I pressed.
“I really pressed it, but it didn't move properly.”
-But if it's 1-1, you can clear it with auto, right?
-Yeah, lol. Early story mode is so easy.
-Story mode doesn't get affected by equipment or stats except basic abilities.
-In the end, story mode is all about level grinding lol.
I eventually turned off the game and took a break.
Today's content was over too, and I didn't want to stream anymore.
I may not be great at games, but getting stuck from the beginning made me not want to do it anymore.
“Then I'll turn off the game too and take a break here.”
LatestTV: Already taking a break? I came too late.
-No way. The host should extend the stream.
-The host should extend the stream.
-Extend it. Extend it.
“I can't show you anything since I can't play the game. From now on, I'll stop doing game streams.”
-Calling yourself a man. Where did the man go?
-You seem upset.
-It's okay if you can't, but I hope you keep streaming.
“I'm not upset. It's not like it has anything to do with being manly, right?”
Even manly guys get angry when they can't play games?
Manly guys are people too.
Even if I press it and it doesn't work, even a manly guy would get angry.
“Then if you all play games well, let's do PVP arena.”
-No matter what, newbie slaughter is a bit much.
-I bet Zero would cry if he got slaughtered.
-I want to see Zero sobbing.
“Men don't cry.”
I said this boldly to the viewers.
If crying over a game is the worst, then what?
I might lose too.
I really didn't move properly a moment ago.
-Pretending to be tough is so cute.
-You're really cute, so maybe I don't care about games anymore.
-Lmao, videos of game superstars are better watched on WeTube. Here, just enjoy the cuteness.
LatestTV: There are tons of good game streams.
“If you win in the arena, I'll give you chicken as a gift.”
-This is just getting wiped out, isn't it?
-I can't get carried away by Zero.
LatestTV: You don't have to. Just do it for fun.
“Everyone seems to have misunderstood. I never said I was doing it.”
I wasn't planning to do arena with the viewers. Minji was going to do it.
Minji is really good at games, unlike me.
Minji doesn't play games much, but if she did, she could become a pro gamer.
Minji seems to like games, but she prefers playing with me more than gaming.
Even if I can't play games, it might be okay for Minji to take over as the main streamer when we're playing.
“Minji. It's a sudden decision, but it's okay?”
“Of course. I said I'd keep helping with the stream, right?”
“I thought about it. Since I can't play games, when we play, I want Minji to be the main on my stream.”
“Got it. When playing games, I'll be the main.”
“Now Minji is going to play the game. If you send bad chats to Minji, I'll never read them.”
I switched seats with Minji, and for the first time on the stream, Minji's face was revealed.
It's only been two days since we started streaming, but Minji's face was going to be revealed soon.
Just send bad chats to Minji.
I'll permanently ban you immediately.
-Oh wow. She's a complete model level?
-Zero's appearance is on another level, so of course. Minji-nim is also quite pretty.
-She's top-tier among entertainers.
-How can a handsome face and cuteness be best friends?
-Our orcs and goblins get along too.
-Yeah, lol.
“Our Minji is really pretty, right?”
“Thank you. Everyone.”
“I'm glad I started streaming here. There are no bad chats, so it's really nice.”
“If this platform didn't exist, I wouldn't have started streaming like this.”
Fortunately, there were no bad chats about Minji.
Even if there were, my friends would handle it.
In severe cases, I'll introduce you to the police station.
I won't read them at all.
-I heard that on old broadcasting platforms, streamers get depression because of toxic viewers.
-This place is really good because there are extremely few toxic viewers.
-Often streamers get aggro from toxic viewers, their mental breaks, and the stream becomes boring.
-Lmao. A few bad apples make most viewers suffer.
-You can aggro or joke with them, but you can't touch their mental health.
-Viewers here are mostly nice, so I like it.
-All bad viewers have been permanently banned.
-If Zero stops streaming because of toxic viewers, I won't leave them alone.
-Lmao, I'll track their IQ and get revenge.
-IP, idiot.
I honestly think no streaming platform that favors streamers can be popular with viewers.
Streamer income comes from viewer ads, donations, etc.
Even free viewers generate ad revenue, so all viewers except toxic ones are precious to streamers.
Donating viewers are few, but they can't be toxic.
Unless they are greatly disappointed and turn against the streamer, most aren't.
And if free viewers increase, so will donors.
I think the reason people donate is to mention themselves or because they like the streamer.
Most toxic viewers don't donate.
So, from a streamer perspective, it's better to drop toxic viewers.
There are only some toxic viewers among the viewers, and streamers who care about even those are probably rare.
So, how did this platform gather free viewers?
On other platforms, free viewers would find it much more comfortable to chat without worrying about permanent bans, but a platform where you can get permanently banned can't be popular with free viewers.
So, viewers on this platform can save 10-20% of the ad revenue they see.
They can use that money to donate back to the streamer or exchange it.
And there's a system where streamers can return the income they earn from ads or donations to the viewers.
Of course, other platforms can do this too, but this platform makes it very easy.
That's why chicken gift cards can be given immediately.
If you right-click a specific viewer, click the donate button, and select from the menu, it deducts easily from the ad and donation amount I received, and the viewer can receive the gift card via text or email.
Although it's a system that hurts the streamer's revenue, the greatest advantage is that it attracts many viewers and helps maintain mental health.
Still, like the garbage disposal law, there are toxic viewers.
They are extremely few and easy to detect, so they can be permanently banned immediately.
Even if managers miss them, good viewers report them.
Viewers who report them will receive gift cards.
“Then shall we do 1:1 private battle?”
-But Zero's face isn't visible.
LatestTV: I'm watching the stream to see Zero. Please show your face a bit.
-Yeah, yeah.
-Zero wants to see the face.
“Jiyoung, come here.”
“Huh?”
“This way both of us will be visible.”
Minji suddenly pulled me over and sat me between her legs.
If I sat on a separate chair, my figure wouldn't show on the cam, so I had to get into Minji's lap to show both of us.
I leaned on Minji and sat comfortably.
-Look, she slipped right into my lap. Lmao.
-So cute.
-I want to hug Zero like that while playing games too.
-But if you widen the cam a bit, both of you will be visible, right?
“Shh. Be quiet.”
Without me noticing, Minji suddenly banned one viewer from chatting.
When a viewer is banned from chatting, that chat disappears and can't be read.
What were they talking about just now?
Minji suddenly pulled me and I couldn't see the chat. Could it be a toxic viewer?
“Was that viewer not toxic? Why was it a 10-minute chat ban instead of permanent?”
-It wasn't toxic. It was just because they interrupted my fun.
-You were targeting them? Lmao. So calculated?
-Really smart? The moment I saw the chat, you instantly made Zero unable to read it.
-The reaction speed is no joke.
LatestTV: I'm really envious. I want to be hugged too.
“LatestTV, we agreed to hug when we combine.”
LatestTV: When we combine, do you hug?
“That's not hard at all.”
LatestTV: Wow, really? Hooray. I'm glad I donated.
-When I combine, do you hug too?
-Why would I combine with you? Wake up from the dream lol.
-Lmao.
-Actually, I don't even stream lol.
They were so happy about being hugged.
LatestTV is also really pretty and a good person, so being hugged is no problem at all.
With this chance, if we become really close, I'll hug you often.
There's a slight reluctance if I'm not close to a man, but hugging a woman is a habit, so I can do it often.
“Hugging women is fine, no burden. But if I'm close to a man, it might be okay, but there's not much opportunity.”
LatestTV: Oh, this is the first time I've thought it was fortunate to be born as a woman.
-Damn, if I go to Thailand, does that mean female recognition?
-I lived as a woman. I have to ask for hugs at fan meetings.
-I'm also a woman, and I'm really looking forward to the fan meeting. Lmao.
-I really want to go to a fan meeting.
-But my heart is female, can I do it?
-Then go to Thailand.
-Lmao.
“Thailand is a joke, right? A fan meeting on my second day of streaming? That's too early, isn't it?”
“Then how about a WeTube 1 million event?”
-You're not saying no to that, are you?
“Minjeong and Minji finished editing and reviewing the video and uploaded it to WeTube right away.”
It really seems like everyone else was thoroughly prepared except me.
What would I have done if I didn't have friends?
I said the stream was short yesterday, but my friends must have edited and uploaded it super fast.
I heard they edited, but I didn't know they'd finish and upload in just one day.
Thanks to my friends, I became a YouTuber too.
