The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 139
46. Vlog (1)
Before departing for Japan.
I turned on the stream for a moment while at the duty-free shop.
[Rubisword donated 10,000 won.]
[Almond! But what about the broadcast while you’re competing in the finals? ㅠㅠ]
I’m crying
-Take responsibility, princess!
-Two weeks off? No way~
-Wait, you really can’t stream there?
That’s right ㅠ
To viewers worried about whether I’d stop streaming entirely once in Japan, I responded this way.
“Maybe I could upload vlogs or something?”
At the accommodation, there was a high probability I wouldn’t be able to use the capsule except during practice sessions, making game streams difficult.
So I’d replace gaming content with daily life broadcasts instead.
Previously, I streamed while gaming and rested during daily life, but in Japan it would be the opposite.
Bringing streaming into my daily routine would be exhausting in various ways.
But even I thought two weeks without streaming was a bit much.
-A vlog??
-How are you gonna do that lol
-“So today I got a sushi sponsorship~” is the plan lol
-Aren’t vlogs something girls with that sparkly aesthetic do? lol
-It’s nice seeing your face though lol
-I love it
Some people liked the idea, but others were skeptical or even joked about how I’d manage it.
[Nutsmiman donated 5,000 won.]
[Nut Shake, if you don’t even know what a vlog is, that’s hilarious~ lol]
-lololol for real
-Good point~
-222222
-333
-lol sounds like you’re just talking about outdoor streaming
The reason they said this was because vlogs had a completely different flavor from typical gaming streamer aesthetics.
“I do know, though?”
-You know? lololol
-Yeah, you know everything.
-lololol you’re lying
I did know.
It wasn’t about creating vlogs in that typical sense.
It meant doing daily broadcasts in my own style.
The problem was that this statement gradually became distorted.

* * *
After the broadcast I started at the airport.
On the Triby forum, viewers who missed Almond’s broadcast began posting their regrets.
Did you watch Almond’s broadcast today? Oh no ㅠㅠ There’s no replay either ㅠㅠ
-Outdoor broadcasts can’t have VODs due to right of publicity issues
They say it’s because of nighttime activities ㅠㅠ
-Who’s gonna watch if he goes live that early in the morning lol
└For the 0-fans, that’s right when they’re checking their phones before bed
└Makes sense lol
Since the broadcast went live early in the morning and was an outdoor stream with no VOD available, I understood why people were lamenting that they missed it.
Meanwhile, viewers who did catch the broadcast were posting about it on Tseugae as if bragging.
[Today’s Almond morning broadcast outfit]
[Almond went live briefly at the duty-free shop]
[Is this Almond’s first outdoor broadcast? I’m watching for the first time and his visuals are seriously…]
[Almond’s airport fashion departing the country lol]
The capsule cam implementation can’t keep up with the appearance. Just throw it away lol.
Since it wasn’t a gaming broadcast, most posts focused on what he was wearing and his appearance, much like celebrity departure news articles.
He’d simply thrown on the most comfortable clothes from an SPA brand, yet it became airport fashion.
Comments even appeared saying the expensive dedicated capsule camera was worse than a smartphone camera.
Since this was different from the usual topics that came up during gaming broadcasts, fans considered it even more rare and valuable.
In other words, those who missed the broadcast couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
-Damn it, why didn’t I see it
-I should’ve gotten up when Mom woke me… I’m just waking up now! Mother!!!
A college student without morning classes cries.
-Starting the day with regret… how refreshing!
As those who missed it lamented, those who watched felt their shoulders rise even higher.
-As a 0-fan myself, I watched it very easily since it was before bedtime?
-The early bird gets the Almond
I saw it haha lol
Those who missed it couldn’t even speculate about what happened during the broadcast except by listening to what those who watched were saying.
[Almond broadcast summary: I’m gonna do a vlog]
They could only understand it without grasping the exact nuance.
-??
-A vlog??
└Yeah, he said he can’t broadcast while in Japan so he’s doing a vlog!
└Wow that’s crazy lol
Especially since they couldn’t properly understand the intent behind this vlog announcement.
-What lol, does that mean he’s uploading it to YouTube in vlog format?
└Is that not it??
└Something feels off about it lol
└Wait, don’t tell me he’s doing one of those things where he stretches in the morning sunlight coming through the window?
└Lmaooooo
The viewers’ understanding of vlogging didn’t match Almond’s usual broadcast atmosphere at all, leaving people confused.
-How does a live stream become a vlog?
└Almond seems to not know what a vlog is
└Probably just “video recording” lol
As rumors swirled endlessly.
That evening, Almond’s broadcast went live.
Ding.
[Almond has started streaming!]
-Wow
Something big is coming ㄷㄷ
-Let’s goooo
-Is he doing a city night view vlog? lol
ha-ha
After a brief delay, the title appeared.
The title was a vlog, just as he’d announced today.
[Vlog EP.1) Almond VS Takoyaki]
-??? Is this a game stream?
-Taco collab??
-It’s been a while since Takoyaki
-This crazy guy lol just slapped “vlog” in front when he’s doing a game stream lolol
-Huh?
-Did Taco lose his hair and gain courage? How is he going up against Almond?
With VS attached to Takoyaki’s name, viewers mistakenly thought Almond and Taco were facing off in a game.
However—
Pop.
Once the broadcast screen came up, their thoughts had no choice but to change.

* * *
Once the camera connected, what came into view was an old, weathered table.
On top of it sat a glass of draft beer gleaming golden, and a plate piled high with round, puffy bread.
-???
-What
-What is it?
Hello hello
The round, golden bread was generously drizzled with sweet teriyaki sauce and mayonnaise, while crispy bonito flakes danced atop the blue scallions.
White steam rose from it as someone picked it up with chopsticks and popped the whole thing into their mouth.
“Wow. Delicious.”
-??
-Oh
Haha, mukbang??
-Whoa
-Wow
-First one since the kimchi jjigae mukbang? This is legendary
-Wait, is this a vlog??
The one contentedly eating takoyaki with one cheek puffed out was Almond.
“Ah. Now you can see it, I guess.”
After seeing the chat reactions, Almond finally looked at the camera.
Since he’d switched from a phone camera to a proper one, the connection had been delayed slightly, and the image quality was completely different from what he’d seen at the duty-free shop.
The only issue was that the angle was a bit odd.
-But why are we seeing this from a hobbit’s perspective?
-ㅋㅋㅋ Is the almond tree 2 meters tall?
The legendary moment when he steals takoyaki crumbs lol
-How is he still handsome from this angle? Is it a bug?
Without a tripod, he’d leaned the camera against the menu board and tilted it upward.
Regardless, he continued the broadcast.
“This vlog’s concept is food fighter.”
-Takoyaki place?
-So where is this
So the almond vs takoyaki thing was this? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Looks tasty though
“I’m currently winning, by the way.”
Almond said this while popping another takoyaki into his mouth.
Nah lol, is there even a way for takoyaki to win?
They’re winning lol
I’m dying laughing
“Thish ish really yummy.”
He meant this is really delicious.
It wasn’t just the broadcast—the taste was unmistakably different from what I’d eaten back in Korea.
haha
-Almond eats delicious things. Everything’s delicious~
The taco got eaten by my younger sibling… lol, they really went to town on it.
-Damn, that place is pretty tasty (don’t know where it is)
The sauce and toppings were roughly similar, but the essential elements—the batter consistency and the octopus flavor—were overwhelmingly different.
When my teeth first bit into the takoyaki’s outer shell, it crackled and shattered delicately, and then the batter wrapped around my mouth warm and moist.
Poorly made takoyaki doesn’t chew properly on the outside and stays chewy throughout, but this one delivered only a crispy texture as if such a thing had never existed, then vanished.
Then the octopus’s aroma and chewiness poured in together with the sauce’s flavor.
“Mmm.”
I found myself reaching for a beer.
Why are you eating so deliciously? ㅋㅋㅋ
-Wasn’t Almond only supposed to eat nuts???
-I mean, it doesn’t make sense to only eat your own kind from the start.
-But where is this place anyway
Haha, but you eat well though, don’t you?
As the viewers know, I’m not much of an eater.
Before living with Juhyeok, I often just got by on almond cereal alone.
But after living with him, did I start opening my eyes to actually delicious things?
I’m eating quite well.
“I said it was delicious~ I only fish for fish, not people~”
People react to the voice coming from across the table.
-Pangeo?
Pang-eorang best friends lol
-Oh Pangeo!
Ah, so Pang’er came first because the unemployed fleet arrived early ㅠㅋㅋ
I stopped eating for a moment after seeing the chat and panned the camera around.
“Oh. Pangeo hyung is here. And other people too.”
It’s not just Pangeo—Danggeun, Spam, and Ratte are here as well.
“Waaaaaah!”
Everyone greets me warmly.
Hahaha
-Did you go to conquer Tsushima?
-Damn, it’s the archer squad
Looks like everyone came here because they heard it was a delicious restaurant lol
After a very brief introduction, the camera returns to me.
Whoosh.
I hold out a takoyaki ball in front of me.
“Yap.”
With that short word, I put it back in my mouth.
-Eating again?
-This, this is a vlog???
Huh?? Hahaha
-Yap! The disappearing takoyaki magic trick!
Haha, it’s just a mukbang lol
He’s supposed to be vlogging, but he’s just got a live stream on and keeps eating takoyaki ㅋㅋㅋ
-Vlog) Solo ranked grinding
The chat had plenty to say about the situation, but Almond simply continued eating takoyaki with dedication.
Since he’d decided to do a mukbang, he was being faithful to it.
And so, he gradually finished off an entire plate of takoyaki….
Ding.
[Rubisword donated 30,000 won.]
[Please order negi taco.]
Hahahahahahaha
-The princess is treating us!
-Kyaa
-That’s extra money?
-What takoyaki costs 30,000 won~
“Ah. Rubisword, thank you. I’ll order it right away.”
Almond asked Pangeo to place the order, and he, who spoke some Japanese, skillfully ordered Maekju as well.
Shortly after, the ordered negi taco arrived.
Negi taco wasn’t anything special—it was just takoyaki with an overwhelming amount of scallions sprinkled on top.
“Wow… I’ll eat well.”
Ding.
[Soryongpo donated 30,000 won.]
[Maekju too]
not lol
-He’s making money while eating Maekju!?
Haha, mukbang is so fun/addictive.
“Ah. Yes. Maekju….”
Almond found himself drinking Maekju with each sip they requested without even thinking.
“Ahh. This is nice. As expected.”
Ding.
[Gaji-bokkeun donated 2,000 won.]
[Why grind for days pulling off super plays and struggle, when you can just make money eating takoyaki and drinking Maekju!?]
-The one who talks the most for 2,000 won…
Hahaha
lol that’s so funny haha
-???: Why go to work grinding for money every day!? Just raid your little brother’s piggy bank!
-This is legit food fighter material~
Almond didn’t particularly respond to Gaji-bokkeun’s donation and reached for the takoyaki.
[Jjapaguri donated 10,000 won.]
[Show it to the camera!]
“Ah. Understood. Thank you.”
He held up the takoyaki and brought it toward the camera.
“This is it.”
After shaking it slightly, the focus snapped into place.
The numerous green onions clinging to the sauce were impressive.
Hahahaha
-Wow
That looks delicious ㅠ
-Ahhhhh
-Takoyaki wins!
After showing off the takoyaki for a moment.
“Yap.”
He made his signature sound effect and popped it into his mouth.
Are you seriously going to keep doing that?ㅋㅋㅋ
lol that’s hilarious
Ugh, you’re so annoying lol
haha lol
“Oh…!”
The fragrant aroma of green onions burst across his palate, transforming the slight greasiness of the takoyaki into pure refreshment.
“This is real delicious…!”
Almond continued eating, thinking ‘This really is delicious…!’ and finished another entire plate of takoyaki.
In the meantime, donations had been pouring in steadily.
-Maybe Nut Shake has talent for mukbang?
He/She eats better than I thought lol
Streaming food fighter lol
-I want to be the takoyaki in his mouth…(swoon)
‘I have no talent for mukbang.’
He knew it himself. The attention came from the fact that someone who never did mukbang was doing it now—he didn’t actually have any particular skill when it came to eating.
“Alright~”
Clap.
He clapped once, marking the edit point.
“Vlog over.”
He ended the broadcast.
-???
No, haha
-You crazy bastard!
Haha
-Did you hit the 1 million won donation goal? Why’d it end!?
-That’s such a tease
Was it supposed to end after eating takoyaki? lol
It went exactly as the title said lol
-So who won?
Ugh, they’re gone again.
The viewers were disappointed by the broadcast that appeared suddenly and disappeared just as quickly.
However, that very night, surprisingly, another broadcast went live.
[Vlog EP.2) Almond VS Whiskey]
Is this a drinking mukbang this time? ㅋㅋㅋ
-Oh Whiskey?
“ㄷㄷ nuts alcohol mukbang for the first time”
-Lol
-Japan’s famous for that too apparently
-Don’t tell me it’s that whiskey?
