Stream Summary: 2020-12-08, Second UsaKen Minecraft

Second glyph making stream.

>Twitter voice clip, rubber-band, and humidifier
Apologizes for yesterday's no stream especially because she said in the previous stream that she would stream that day, so she decided to release a Twitter voice clip. A feature that she hasn't really been using before and is by no means an expert, which made her worry how people would react to it. Chat says; "It was cute so we'll forgive you" and she is content with that.
She went to bed after the Twitter clip but ended up waking up very early today, and she felt sluggish for the entire time which made her unable to get out of bed and use her computer, so instead she laid in bed playing with a rubber band for all the excessive free time she had. She said it was boring and that in hindsight she should have streamed instead but occasionally she will feel very worn-out or exhausted to the point of feeling like this, so instead of getting up to the PC she'll just want to lay in bed.
She talks a bit about all the recommendations for a humidifier she has gotten since she asked about it for some time ago. And while reading she noticed that a lot of recommendations were for a steam humidifier that does not require a lot of cleaning and she thought that the nousagi were making fun of her by recommending this in particular. She rants that the nousagi are awful for implying she doesn't clean up and that when the time comes that she must clean, then she does clean. Sure she admits that her Minecraft chests, for example, are usually a mess but she describes herself as someone who'll clean up on a whim rather than on a schedule, like she'll eventually get the feeling of "Now I have to clean", then she'll do it.

>"What does きｔら！ mean?"
She gets a superchat from a western fan asking what きｔら means. She draws a good equivalent at the start by comparing it to something like "Yatta!", basically a word to be used when something good or long-awaited finally happens. But, funnily enough her inexperience in English eventually leads her to translating it into "Come!" which would be a bad translation. Something like "It's here!" or "Finally!" would probably a be more apt translation although she also settles on a "Yes yes yes!" kind of feeling which works to some degree. Not that expressions like these need to have a proper translation to get their meaning across, just listening to the way it is used should clue you in on its meaning.

>Treating herself to some luxury
Because she felt sluggish she decided to try and reverse that feeling with some home-delivered sushi. She wondered if it is fine to treat herself like this, but ended up thinking that during days like these when she is feeling extra bad it should be fine. She specifically mentions the medium-fatty tuna and sea urchin as particularly good. She says that since she has reached a million it is fine with some luxury, and chat teases her again calling her a Tengu(Calling someone a Tengu in Japanese means calling someone conceited, as Tengus are associated with vanity and pride).
She gets asked if she gave any to her mother and she says she didn't. She says that there was no need to give her anything since it was a gift for herself, chat teases her and says; "So you have changed after all..." and she says that she definitely haven't and that the next time she orders sushi she'll give some to her mother too. She also throws out that she gives her mother a shoulder massage from time to time.
>Made to sing English songs during English class
She leads into this by singing some of The Beatles's "Yellow Submarine" and says that she was taught how to sing some English songs during English class by their teacher. Every time at the start of the class they would be made to sing an English song which seemed to change every week. Her favorite song from that time was Backstreet boys's "I want it that way" and it was from those English classes that she come to love it

>Doing her best at avoiding having to communicate with people
Says that she does her utmost at avoiding communication with people from "This world"(Says 下界). Even to the point of not answering the door if it rings, so instead of opening she'll just wait for the person to put it in their home delivery box and as soon as he goes away she'll open and take whatever was left. Someone asks if she does the same with Ubereats and she says they are very convenient and can leave it by the door, although sometimes she mistimes it and opens the door while the person is still there meaning they unfortunately make eye-contact, but she says that sometimes such unpleasant things also happen.

>Holofes and Christmas
She asks if chat has forgotten what happens on the 21st until someone says Holofes and she does her exaggerated idol-act to ask for everyone to please be there. Someone says that they have a date planned for that night and she tells him that there is no choice but to cancel it since he can always go on a date with his girlfriend but Pekora's live can't be rescheduled. She says he can do it on Christmas instead but then remembers that she has plans on Christmas as well so everyone should cancel their Christmas plans too.
Someone says that they actually have things to do then and she asks what could be more important than herself? Someone says family and she relents, saying that if it is for their family then she'll forgive them. Family should be treasured after all.
Another says that he took a day off on those two days and Pekora responds; "You took days off for my sake? That makes me happy!" and he responds with that it wasn't for your sake, she doesn't fall for the bait and instead calls him a tsundere.

>Christmas food and Grandma's cooking
Someone from chat mentions Kentucky and Pekora lights up asking what everyone usually eats on Christmas, she says Kentucky and is about to say something more but can't come up with anything else(For those who might not know, Kentucky Fried Chicken have for reasons beyond human comprehension become synonymous with Japanese Christmas, it is so heavily ingrained in their culture that eating Kentucky for Christmas is common)
Someone mentions Grandma's home-made chicken and Pekora goes on to talk about her Grandma and how her food was always really good. She gets the question if her Grandma is still alive and she says that she is since residents of Pekoland eat nothing but carrots therefore they live long. She mentions that she wants to see her again but since she lives far away she would most likely not be able to stream, and since she wants to stream she is divided on what to do. She ends up saying that "Sometime" surely.

>Masochists and pain
The lead up to this conversation was that Pekora said that she has recently been paying attention to how she speaks to avoid being too foul-mouthed since she has kids watching, this prompted someone from chat to say she has mellowed out(The word used was 丸くなる which can both mean "To mellow(Personality)" or "To be rounded") she snaps at him and asks in which way he meant, her attitude or her body? She continues on to say that the nousagi are very rude when it comes to talking to a lady and that they'll end up being beaten up if they aren't careful.
Eventually someone says that; "What if I want that?" and Pekora responds that she has been thinking about masochists and how they can become happy from pain since she herself sees that as impossible, and asks chat to explain that train of thought to her.
A nousagi says that he likes being verbally abused and Pekora says that there are a lot of perverts in the chat and for someone to call the police. Continuing on she says that she is very bad with pain and if she ever feels pain she'll immediately outwardly express that she is in pain.
Someone says that; "I want to see a Pekora in pain" which makes her say that "There are even worse perverts in the chat, please save me"

>Not always genki
A short little insight into her life where one in chat says that he likes that Pekora is always energetic. And while she admits that during streams when she is able to talk to nousagi she will be energetic but that there are times where she isn't so, especially so on days where she feels sluggish. She also says that if the nousagi saw her off-stream room life-style they'd be shocked and mentions the fact that she'll lay in bed for a long time as an example.
She starts talking about how off-collabs reveal a different side of her to the point of people being surprised at seeing her in that way compared to her stream self(This is a bit freebased since she breaks up half-way into the sentence to greet the Russian invasion, but from what little she said and the previous context, I can't imagine she meant anything other than this)
>Mutual feeling regarding poor language use
The Russian invasion starts around here and she remembers a talking point she's had for a while where she often sees western fans work hard at learning Japanese and whenever she sees poor Japanese writing from a western fan she finds it adorable, and she thinks that it is the same for the western fans regarding her poor English use and she says that one day she'll show off proper English.

>Evolving UsadaKen logo
She gets the question if she'll change the logo if she gets more employees and she says that is a pretty difficult question. Although if it is something simple then she thinks she can add it. As long as there is open space available it should work.
>All Sankisei member off-collab
She gets asked if there is going to be an all member off-collab and she doesn't know and wonders if anyone said that, someone asks if she has drifted away from her partners and she says she doesn't think so. Chat immediately drops the "あっ…"s and asks if perhaps she was left out and she says that it is probably not the case and if there actually was a collab then she'd be told. If it was the case that she was left out then it'd be pretty bad but if it is a Sankisei all member collab then there is no way she wouldn't be told, because she is a Sankisei member after all.
She gets gaslighted a bit more by the chat and she says that even if she wasn't told she'd show up, saying something like "You look like you are doing something fun" then she'll enter. Chat calls her mentally strong but she says that she'd cry at the time if it was the case.

>Oversleeping and would rather be scolded
It gets brought up that there is a collab tomorrow so she shouldn't oversleep and Pekora says it has only happened once although even tho it was just that one time she felt like death when she woke up, thinking she had really done it now. Despite herself barely being able to think of anything to say the Discord was filled with nothing but support, saying it was fine and all. She says she is weak to kind words during situations like those, even to the point of ending up crying, but at the same time she would rather people be angry at her when she makes a mistake herself. She reiterates it again after a while saying that not being criticized when you've made a mistake yourself is the most painful thing about the situation.
