It's streamer responsibility to balance all audio sources volume so none of them would be too loud, be it game, bgm or discord call. Viewers can't really do anything about it on their side.

>> No.5735923

>>5735271
I think the issue Polka that gets Polka into trouble the most is that her volume has a huge range to it. Polka usually has a low and relaxed tone, but when she gets excited she shrieks excitedly, bumping up both her volume and her pitch substantially. Part of what I love about her is how variable her voice is, but I can understand that if you had your volume turned to pick up a consistently quiet girl (like Lamy) then when Polka gets excited it could be genuinely painful.

>>5735923
People who complain that Polka is too loud are just jelly that they can't hear their oshi when two or three people talk at the same time. But the fact is that Polka is not too loud. She just has that wide vocal range that allows her to cut through the noise and still be auditable. People are just confused about loud in the volume sense and being distinct in having good separation in the frequency sense.

Most women only have a 2 to 3 octave vocal range, which becomes more restrictive when they are doing the character voices on stream. So often their voices overlap in the same sound frequencies and get jumbled together. Where as Polka has a 4+ octave vocal range and is using her IRL voice when streaming. So she is always going be better at cutting through the noise even at the same volume.

By the time she left voice chat you can already tell she was teetering between tipsy and drunk, which a bad drinking mood can amplify and bring social anxiety out when around too many people.

The poor girl just wants to be seen as cheerful and energetic by outsiders, but that can be a problem for some who see it as her trying to steal their oshi's spotlight. As others said, she mostly cannot help it. Her voice stands out regardless of volume because she naturally projects and varies her voice up. Probably something she's been bullied over her entire life.

So I finished whole stream and still don't get at which part could cause these comments. Could it be that there always are people complaining and she only took it like this because of being nervous, alcohol or online being higher than usual?
I remember her occasionally picking up "Polka urusai" when setting up audio balance, but always though it was inside joke, like "Sui-chan chiisai".

It's honestly not that hard to get into most of the JP crew even if you don't speak a single word, but it's infinitely better when you can understand most of what's going on. Polka is at the top of being universally fun to watch without really understanding her because of her zany energy and ability to emote. Even the few that I think require a solid grasp with speaking JP still can be enjoyed in most cases, but it'd probably be tough to get into them.

If you can get ahold of grade school learning materials for Japanese, that's your best bet, but all resources are helpful. You really have to immerse yourself and dedicate to learning a language. You can only memorize so much. You have to USE the language to really cement it.

Duolingo is built specifically for the purpose of being addictive, because the number one issue in language learning is motivation, according to it's founder. It's use as an accurate educational tool is secondary. But it can still be useful as a jumping off point, just don't use it for a 300 day streak and complain why you can't understand what なんでやねん or やばい means.
I think most people will tell you to start with Hiragana and follow the JLPT path, which is probably okay if you're motivated, and most people seem to do okay? In general for learning languages, language is spoken before it is written, so I would advise finding something that teaches the spoken language more directly, like those French language videos that teach entirely in French by showing you easy to understand situations.
Alternatively, as a Vtuber fan, you can find a couple Vtubers that actually teach the basics. For example, Iofi from Hololive ID has some beginner streams on her channel that starts at hiragana.
There's much more to be said about the subject but this post is already getting a bit lengthy.

There's a reason her early ASMRs are well regarded.

Although Polka is somewhat guarded with her emotions normally, if she's feeling down (and around people she trusts) she's an open book. She is highly self-conscious person and wants validation. Early on in her Hololive career she basically breaks down in Membership streams telling her Members that she loves them for loving her.

She is Pagliacci, literally. The bright happy clown on the outside, but behind closed doors she's lonely and introspective.

This whole "loud" stuff probably dredged up bad feelings. We may be in for a ride at tonight's ASMR.

f your focus is limited to watching Polka and joining JOP watchers, kanji becomes less important than vocab. JLPT steps are still useful for learning sentence structure, but particles can be ignored. After that, you need to watch a lot of VODs to understand slangs not taught in any textbook.

Doulingo is the start to it. It's entertaining enough for you to learn hira and kata, but it's only good for that. You won't really learn grammar, sentence structure, ect. from there.
There are other sites that people recommend, but I've been working out of a used textbook that I scooped up for 8 bucks
>which I am now realizing that, in the condition that it was in, is a fucking steal
https://www.amazon.com/Reading-Japanese-Yale-Language-English/dp/0300019130
This plus reading tweets and deepl help slowly build up my kanji. Don't be shy to visit a local bookstore, you might find something.
Best way to do it is slowly, it's a language that, to english, is very different. It's a journey, not something a video game can teach

Best of luck, have a polka for encouragement!

POLMAO guide to start learning JaPOLnese

EOP chama:
If you have time take a Japolnes course at your local community college. Just ask to sit in and listen, your not doing it for a grade. The goal is to learn the basics like alphabet and sentence structure.

But I'm a hiki tha't cant go to class:
Get the Genki I-III Japolnese books and study them. They are similar enough to class room text books. Use youtube videos as audio source material to learn how to sound the alphabet and simple words.

I know the basics:
Get a learn to speak Japolnese audio course. preferably Pimsuler. It was used by US diplomats to get a crash course in other languages. The goal here is to follow the tapes and mimic the phrases spoken so you can associate meaning to the sounds. This is the same way babies learn to speak. This will help with your listening skills because textbooks and classrooms don't prep you for how people actually talk. Otherwise you still won't be able to pick apart a spoken sentence when you listen to it.

I am now semi fluent in Japolnese:
Great! Now is the time to build your vocab. Use things like Dual Lingo or Rosetta Stone. Just keep practicing every day to build that vocab.

I now have a good grasp of the vocab:
Re-watch VOD's to pick up on slang and other colloquial phrases that are not thought by language courses. You will be amazed at what you will pick up after a 2nd watching. If you come up against words or phrases that don't appear in a online dictionary like Nihongodic, Romanjidesu, or Wordhippo, then it's probably slang.


Once you have done this you should be able to watch and understand streams well enough. How well will depend on how well practiced you are at speaking Japanese and how big your vocab is. Keep in mind this is not geared towards learning kanji and being able to read high school level Japanese or pass a written test. We have Deep L for that to save time. This is the quickest way to learn spoken Japanese without having a native speaker to practice with.

Any additional advice from others are welcomed. What other methods worked for fluent polkas>?

I honestly don't know if I could recommend this especially if you're a brainlet like me. I did 2 semesters of japanese as I needed a language as part of my major. I have literally never worked as hard for a class and simultaneously come that close to failing despite my actual best effort than I did in Japanese 101. Shit went so blistering fast I was constantly struggling just to keep my head above water.

NGL a lot of my reluctance and lack of motivation on starting up again come from how hard that one class was and just how awful I am at bulk memorization.

Of course I don't expect her to ever recognise me personally for what I'm doing, but I keep up my gym reps and sometimes force myself to do my JP reps. Around November I was pretty badly hit by an unknown illness which broke my joints and forced me to learn how to walk again, and mostly cause of that my gf broke up with me. Around that time I started watching Holo and our fennec always cheered me up after another day of looking at other people in public to figure out the mechanigs of going down the stairs like a fucking alien.

From my WoD things experience (Vampires and Mages) it's too much of a commitment and a timesink. If she really wants it (like mentions on memstream or somewhere else) we should encourage her to do it but don't pressure her. Also Hunter is kinda boring IMO, too much slice-of-life, something like classic Vampire or exotic like Orpheus would've fit better.

Just dropping some lyrics I found online for Polka's cover. Apparently Polka sees it as a companion piece to Loser Girl, as she specifically had the MV made by the same person.
https://youtu.be/Lx1PNCat-Q0


Do you know who I am?
Do you think I look cute?
What do you think about my singing?
Did I manage to sing well?

My costume and make-up,
Do I look cute wearing them?
My dancing and my fanservice too,
Do they make you happy?

My hands are getting cold
And my legs are shaking
Even so, I still wanted to keep on fighting
Because I’m an idol

I hate the people who make fun of me
I don’t like to be looked down on either
And words like “Idols are nothing”
Don’t say them when you haven’t even actually seen them!

Don’t take my hard work for granted
Don’t force an image on me
And words like “Idols are nothing”
are the one thing I hate the most in this world!

Because you can’t see my private life
I don’t think you’d know this side of me
My personality is actually pretty bad
Did I manage to fool you?

But it’s the truth, I’m being serious
Please love me the way I am
And become my fan
Is that a selfish thing to ask?

I’m sure that I’m not cute
I already knew it all
Even so, I still wanted to be liked
Because I’m an idol

I hate people who say sarcastic things
I hate people who keep making excuses too
And words like “Is that all?”
Don’t just say them so lightly!

Don’t just set limits on me
Don’t make a fool out of me
And words like “Idols are nothing”
are the one thing I hate the most in this world!

Cutting through the headwinds
A proud idol

“Let’s aim to be one”

Without all the support
I can’t do any work
I can’t live my life
by doing only the things that I like

Even though I’m supposed to give you energy,
I continue to receive them instead
Until the day I can repay you comes,
Wait for me!

Even when the cheering have died down
Even when people have gotten bored of me
I still wanted to keep smiling
Because I’m an idol

With the love given by my passionate fans
With the love given by the staff members
With the love my family have always given me
I continue to live

“As an idol”

I hate the people who make fun of me
I don’t like to be looked down on either
And words like “Idols are nothing”
Don’t say them when you haven’t even actually seen them!

Don’t take my hard work for granted
Don’t force an image on me
And words like “Idols are nothing”
are the one thing I hate the most in this world!

They are incredibly cute horse girls, and the main game essentially spends time fleshing out each of their individual stories/personalities and exploring their interactions with other girls/supports. The gameplay draw itself is a mystery to me other than the "raising your favorite horse girl idols" aspect, but it makes sense for a horse racing game to be largely RNG based. Guess it falls into a more 'pure gacha' experience. It's comfy watching her and Flare having fun, at least.

Yeah, some of these lines give me a bit of deja vu to things Polka has said in the past. For instance:

In the song:" Even though I’m supposed to give you energy, I continue to receive them instead"

Thing Polka said in her last member's post: "You don't have to comfort me, so let me comfort you guys instead"

Same with "Please love me the way I am", something she said in one of her codependent members posts.

She's definitely picking some of these songs specifically because she relates to the lyrics.

Rushia keeps tabs on her biggest gachikoi and reads into their activities by stalking their social media accounts. She genuinely wants to marry one of her fans one day and gets sad or anxious if something one of them does offends her definition of "love". She expects her most devoted fans to watch nobody else, and had a genuine breakdown when one of her top tier fans started supporting someone new. It's uh, pretty intense.

I find Polka a lot more comfortable because she loves her fans collectively (rather than giving large amounts of attention to top donators/contributors, etc) and says she doesn't mind her omaru-za watching other girls as well.

But these are edge cases though, and you wouldn't pick up on these philosophical differences just by hopping into a member's stream casually.

>Rushia keeps tabs on her biggest gachikoi and reads into their activities by stalking their social media accounts. She genuinely wants to marry one of her fans one day and gets sad or anxious if something one of them does offends her definition of "love". She expects her most devoted fans to watch nobody else, and had a genuine breakdown when one of her top tier fans started supporting someone new. It's uh, pretty intense.

Rushia is possessive.
Polka is dependent.

>> No.5833562

>>5833332
You'd get a better explanation in the Rushia thread I presume, but basically Rushia made a massive member's post while she was in a really bad headspace where she threatened to "disappear" if people kept saying "I love you" to her without meaning it. This seemed to be aimed squarely at one of her biggest supporters, who recently began supporting another girl. (an indie, I think?) She quickly deleted it, but there are still screencaps kicking around and too many people were talking about it at once for it to be fake drama.

I always forget that these girls are kinda fucked in the head one way or the other, and that streaming in general takes a lot of mental fortitude whether it's the good or bad kind

We're all mutually fucked up in the head and codependent, just as things should be. That said, we're not actually all that fucked up and it could be much, much worse when you stop to consider the unbridled depravity and general shittyness of a "normal" person. Our dark corner of life is full of people just wanting to support people they like and feel loved in an interesting way, and the entertainers having a safe outlet to actually 'love' the fans back without us invading every facet of their life and their privacy.
