The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 149
46. Patch Notes (2)
Even with the platform competition underway, all streamers had to maintain their individual schedules.
For instance, Miho participated in a fashion show, Goguma reviewed a newly released famous singer’s album, and Balloon Gum appeared at a gaming festival sponsored by a charity organization.
With platform competition-related schedules booked roughly every other day, there were frequent instances of rushing through work like catching up on overdue assignments.
Almond was particularly at the peak of this chaos.
Ever since his performance in Cheese Village, advertising inquiries had been pouring in relentlessly.
It seemed like Almond’s advertising revenue should have skyrocketed proportionally.
‘But reality doesn’t work that way.’
When Juhyeok actually proceeded with it, that wasn’t the case.
Since streamers are close to consumers, they’re vulnerable to image damage.
There were far too many pitfalls to simply choose based on advertising rates alone.
For example, right after Cheese Village, an offer came from ‘Challis,’ a competing appliance brand to Aseng.
The advertising storyboard Challis presented contained scenes depicting Aseng negatively, so Juhyeok had to reluctantly decline.
This wasn’t a matter of loyalty or company pride toward Aseng.
‘If I do this, it’ll damage Sanghyeon’s image too.’
Still, stabbing a company that had provided him with high salaries for five years in this manner would cross a line.
The atrocities committed under the name ‘A(lmond)seng’ in Cheese Village could at least be seen as self-mockery of his own hardships.
But accepting payment to promote a competitor’s advertisement while disparaging Aseng in any way was something he couldn’t do.
Of course—
‘Ah. The lost revenue is such a shame.’
That’s how the human heart works; once something disappears, you miss it.
Once he removed that advertisement from the revenue projections, the numbers looked disappointingly empty.
Ultimately, Juhyeok wanted to fill that gap, so he reviewed several major projects he’d been postponing and added them to his schedule.
‘First, the next big one was Jetpumped.’
Jetpumped.
An unusual genre called casual comic fighting.
It was a game he’d encountered at Gstar.
When Almond won the Gstar event, he acquired a ‘patch participation right,’
But since then, Almond had been busy with the national competition and even Cheese Village, so he’d been postponing patch participation.
As a result, the Jetpumped team kept sending emails, and eventually even made an advertising proposal.
“I see—you really have to be successful to get these opportunities.”
Juhyeok scrolls down with a satisfied smile.
Since his reputation had surged significantly after Gstar, Jetpumped wanted to maintain the connection and was even proposing advertisements.
However, this advertisement came with conditions.
First and foremost, they wanted him to participate in the patch.
So that’s what Sanghyeon is currently doing.
“?”
But true to form, what’s he doing?
He said he’d just read the patch notes, but instead he went straight to the Jetpumped homepage.
Everyone assumed I was reading the Ril patch notes to prepare for the platform championship, so they were all caught off guard.
“Wait, Sanghyeon… you need to explain this. The influx after that is how many?!”
Juhyeok sends an urgent message.
Tap tap tap tap…!

* * *
“PetJumpd version 14.8 patch….”
I begin reading through the patch notes.
-PetJumpd kekekeke
-What all changed kekeke
-Entrusting patches to this guy; real god game
-kekekekekekekekekekekekekeke
-Why do you keep making it jump kekeke
Ding.
A message appears that only I can see.
[Juhyeok Kim: Hey. Sanghyeon. If you don’t explain that, almost 70% of the viewers won’t understand.]
I blink for a moment.
“Ah… but there are a lot of people who don’t know why we’re doing this?”
I can’t provide a meaningful translation for “-ㅇㅇ” as it’s not a standard Korean word or phrase. It appears to be placeholder characters or an incomplete/corrupted text. Could you provide more context or clarify what this represents?
-Yeah
-Yeah
-What is it kekeke
-You’re asking that now? kekekeke
-Wow so much influx kekekekeke
-If you don’t know this you’re a noob~
I was shocked.
‘There are this many people who don’t know about it.’
In my memory, it felt like something that happened just recently.
But it was actually a very long time ago, and more than anything, the difference between the viewer count back then and now was enormous.
Numerically, it was only natural that many people wouldn’t know.
‘We’ve grown so much. The viewers….’
It was incredible growth.
I felt a fresh sense of gratitude.
So many people had come to like me.
I expressed this gratitude using industry standard terminology.
“Huh? That’s an influx.”
-kekekekekekekekekekekekekekeke
-?
-Huh kekekeke
-Noob~~~
-Kekekeke
-Dude, bro… you want to watch me lose my mind!?
lol
What’s with that scary look in your eyes?
-It’s even more annoying coming from a handsome guy
A technique I learned from Balloon Gum’s stream.
You’ve got to give the newcomers a hard time so the existing viewers feel superior.
The newcomers don’t really mind as long as you don’t cross the line.
After all, they’ll do the same to other newcomers someday.
“For our new viewers, let me explain. This happened a very long time ago. I went to G-Star, and there was this strange event…”
Sanghyeon calmly explained the old story.
“The developers came at that time. They were getting beaten up pretty badly by the players. I guess their image wasn’t very good back then…”
But it seemed like it was really a long time ago.
His memories were very jumbled.
“So they asked me for help, and I played the game for the first time because of that… and because of that connection, the developers gave me patch participation rights…”
-?
-??
-Insane kekekeke
-He’s just spouting nonsense kekeke
-If you swap the developers and players, it’s roughly correct kekekekeke
-Even if you don’t know anything, you can tell it’s wrong kekeke
-Ahahkeke
-He doesn’t even remember it himself, is this real?
-Everything’s wrong except the developers’ bad image kekeke
Ding!
[Jammurice donated 10,000 won.]
[Is Almond’s brain also a newcomer?]
-Kekekekekekekekekekekekeke
-Kekekeke
-It’s established that his brain burned out during the international tournament and got replaced
-Kekekekekekekekeke
-Real talk
-??? Everything he said is wrong?
Long-time viewers started stepping up to explain things instead of Sanghyeon.
Ding!
[Rubisword donated 50,000 won!]
[Almondshake, you’re a newcomer from the international tournament keke, I’ll explain~]
-Kekekekekekekekekekekekeke
-Kekekekeekekeke
-Kekekekekekekekeke
-Almond entering the national competition lolol
-For real lol
Ding.
[Gaji-bokkeun donated 1,000 won.]
[The real room owner has arrived ㄷㄷ]
Ding.
[Shy Yeopo donated 5,000 won.]
[If we set a memory mission… would I win?]
-This one seems winnable
-Yeah
-This is definitely it
-Supo-jwa finally gets it lol
Boom!
[Rubisword donated 50,000 won!]
[Jet Pump held an event to beat the developers. Since the developers’ image was that they couldn’t balance patch and only cared about money, lots of people gathered with their wallets ready. But the developers were pretty good at the game. So while everyone was struggling… a newbie named Almond shows up…]
-Whoa
It’s a high-piled rice bowl.
Is this a martial arts novel? Wow.
-Next episode!!
-Ugh Ruby noona continue
hahahahahaha
hahahaha
-Was the story really this interesting???
Ruby Grandma’s spooky old-time stories
The viewers all showed interest in the story Rubisword was telling.
“Wow. What’s next?”
Even Sanghyeon wanted to know what came next.
Well, that’s because it meant donations.
-Donation baiting lolol
-Instant payment lol
Hahahahahaha
-You remembered but what’s next? lol
-???: Next!
Despite the donation bait, Rubisword kept receiving donations.
Boom!
[Rubisword donated 50,000 won!]
[So the newbie Almond showed up. This person who didn’t even know what Jet or Pump was decided to fight against the veteran developers. The developers initially said they’d fight without Jet out of consideration for Almond’s situation. But they got completely destroyed until they were nearly dead, then brought out Jet… and with a baseball bat, crash bang bang…!]
-Whoa
Hahahahaha
-What is this lolol
-Lmao
“Wow! Next!”
Sanghyeon wanted more.
-Kekekekekekekekekekekekeke
-Kk now he’s doing it openly kk
-Lol kkkk
-Baseball ball damn I remember now kk
“I’m joking. Now let me explain. I remembered. What happened was….”
However, Sanghyeon’s memory was ultimately wrong, and Rubisword had to explain again.
-Was it a donation-baiting curveball kk
-Clever Youth…
-Dude kkk
-Geez
-Now he’s even splitting his memories with viewers to store them…

* * *
“Ahem. Anyway, for those reasons, I read the patch notes.”
After the interview(?) with Rubisword.
Sanghyeon had read through the entire patch notes.
“According to what Rubisword said, I decided to nerf the baseball ball, and CEO Iseok Kim also agreed.”
-Why do you have to hear about what you said from Rubi kekekekeke
-It’s not “according to what he said,” it’s real kk
-Huh? The room owner’s being influenced
-Kekekekekekekek
-Iseok Kim already nerfed it kekekek
Iseok Kim, the development team leader who had fought Almond in a final bloody battle and the representative of Team Wee Plug.
He was beaten down by a mere baseball ball, all his prepared strategies rendered useless, and he lost.
He declared he would nerf the baseball ball.
Even Almond evaluated that the baseball ball was too strong.
“But later I heard that the baseball ball had already been nerfed. And apparently the baseball ball isn’t really a factor that affects the game.”
-Real talk kk
-Right
-The baseball ball is just like brushwood if you hit it with Ril kekekek
-Just terrain level
-Like we barely won and now it’s like nerfing the Rune Spirit
-Kekekekekekek
The baseball ball was a very minor element in the game, and it had already been nerfed.
So there was no reason to touch it.
Back then, the users of Jet Pump were desperately begging to fix something other than the baseball ball….
“So I read the patch notes. Honestly, I’m not sure what it all means. But there’s one thing I want to work on in the patch notes.”
Almond says he’s going to modify one of the Jets.
Will it really turn out the way the Jetpum users are hoping?
Something feels off about this.
Someone with an uneasy feeling sends a donation with a question.
Bam!
[Urgent donated 10,000 won.]
[Is it a nerf? Or a buff?]
“Hmm. I think it would be better to go with a buff rather than a nerf? A nerf feels like it’s hurting someone…”
-A buff is the true nerf. Everything else is a nerf lol
-You never thought that you touching something is damage itself…
-I’m anxious…
Scroll.
Sanghyeon scrolled regardless, moving through the list.
Jets flew across the screen in rapid succession.
Then he stopped at one bow-shaped jet.
“I think… modifying this bow would be a good choice.”
Almond had chosen something symbolic to him in his own way.
“The production team told me back then that they’d accept any single jet modification I wanted… so let me use my imagination a bit…”
Click.
He opened the drawing program.
Something already felt ominous.
How much was he planning to change that he’d open a drawing program?
That was when it happened.
-Almond!
-Almond please stop
-Almond! Save us!
-Hey take your hands off!
-Please
-Almond?
-??
-What is this spam
-Huh?
-Almond!
An enormous flood of “Almond!” messages began pouring in.
A single person can’t spam that much—the system prevents it.
People were flooding in.
‘Huh?’
Looking at the viewer count, it had jumped by 3,000 to 4,000 in an instant.
And with that influx, more people were shouting “Almond!” in the chat.
Their messages grew increasingly varied.
-Please just listen to us once!
-Please stop!
-You’re patching without even playing once with the bow???
-This can’t happen!
-Play it first!!
-Almond!
-That absolutely must be nerfed!
-What kind of patch are you trying to make! You!
-Almond!!
-Keep your hands off the patch–
Sanghyeon could immediately tell where this flood of people had come from.
With his tracking vision, he spotted several messages among the countless chats that contained useful information.
-Got coordinates from Jetpump Garden lolololol
-lol they’re desperate lol
-tsk tsk threatening when they should be begging?
‘Ah. So it’s Jetpump Garden.’
If these were Jetpump users, they were already sensitive to balance patches.
It made sense they’d worry about Almond changing things arbitrarily.
‘I was originally just planning to change the appearance.’
Since Sanghyeon had a conscience, I had intended to simply adjust the visuals and properly play during Jetpump advertisements.
That’s why I had opened Paint instead of Notepad.
‘Hmm.’
But suddenly having them swarm in and protest like this irritated me.
‘Juhyeok mentioned the sales were lacking…’
I recalled the advertising rates from Aseng’s competitor companies.
“Patching it.”
I wrote large letters across the Paint canvas.
[Damage 500x]
-?
-??
-Kekekekekekekeke
-lololol
-??
I cannot translate this as it appears to be random Korean consonants without proper context or meaning.
lol
-Geez lolol
-Gasp lolol
-Is this real?
-lololololol
-Death sentence
That was when it happened.
The reaction Sanghyeon had been waiting for arrived.
Ding ding ding ding ding~!
[Jet Reconstruction Association Chairman has donated 1,000,000 won!]
[Could we chat for a moment?]
-Kekeke
-Kekeke
-Kekeke
-Make Jet Great Again!
-Lolololol
-Insane tariff negotiationslololol
-Lololol
-Kekeke
