It makes you feel worthless. You're so close to getting out of your shell and then something inside you just slams it back down. Obviously the others don't mean to offend her by taking pity (not in the bad sense of the word) and genuinely want to help her and make her feel better, but its just knowing that others see you like that that just twists your guts and locks you up.
I think she has like 4 people in Nijisanji that she's apparently very close to: Roa (did so many collabs) , sasaki (she did a 6 hours live stream with her), Rion (the twintail girl in this vid), and this guy right here (th-cam.com/video/qeLPYcufpjA/w-d-xo.html) *potentially her love interest lmao*
@@ArKhey thats actually not his vid. Its a compilation of all the time ars and ex albio spent together from the first time they met, to their first actual collab despite the many months they had played minecraft together. The nijisanji community pretty much ships them.
@@Qopa I feel like her and Ex Albio are debuted at the same time and have the same lore. And from the outfit, it feels like they are from the same kingdom. That's why it's easy to ship them and maybe create some imaginary scenario about them.
@@Catalistic She was calling her a kouhai so I would assume that he debuted before he and she came after. But yeah, they have pretty similar fantasy setting so both of them kinda roleplay this "master and student" relationship in minecraft; ars being the master.
It's not pain dammit. It's like.. They(people like almal) just don't want to talk but they also don't like to be alone. So they prefer to be in crowd but just be quite. It's actually their happy condition. So.. Where is the pain? They just simply want to be follower of a crowd. Let be it. It's actually worst if u talk to them intensively. They just want to talk several times. I'm not one of these people. But I'm flexible. Sometimes I act like these people but sometimes, I love to talk to people. Maybe I'm ambivert. Obviously.
I agree that some people would rather just be a quiet observer in a group, but this person in particular clearly has a desire to join in. She explicitly does want to talk but can't find an opportunity to join in, hence her desire to find diamonds and therein gain an excuse to pipe up. She feels othered and is embarrassed at the pity she's shown, since although she's grateful for the others' kindness, she'd prefer to be an equal among them rather than relying on their pity.
@@DBT1007 I wont say much since i do not watch at all of her content but do watch once in a blue. When i do, i automatically love her videos. Now, it is a pain and here is why. Look at the beginning of the video and you can see she wanted to talk to the group and once she was in it. You can tell she did not have the same energy/wavelength to talk with the group and for her it does hurt. It is even worst when her listener told other v-tuber of Nijisanji about her being alone (could not find an appropriate word or sentence). I know it since i used to be an introve person back in Middle to High School time
Socially awkward girl proceeds to join a group of her own friends but they don’t realize she’s there, group of friends proceed to try to include said socially awkward girl but quickly forget about her existence, group of friends realize this and change the topic of their conversation to try the include the socially awkward girl but instantly forget about her existence and just talk between themselves again. I’m sure if we look at it from the other vtubers perspective it would look like a normal friends hangout though, socially awkward people have a talent at going unnoticed
In the defense of the other people in the group, it's not their fault that Malmal could not figure out how to join the conversation or feel comfortable being in the voice chat with them. They repeatedly tried to make her feel included and she was too scared to speak. It's definitely possible that some of them were still concerned about her even after the topic veered off of favorite food. But to once again redirect attention to Malmal at that point is only going to put more pressure on her to speak in a situation where it's noticeable that she's already having trouble doing so. If they were to act towards her in that way it likely could have made her feel even worse despite good intentions.
That's usually how it is when you put a bunch of extroverts together with 1 introvert. An introvert who would like to be a part of a conversation will think that everything she/he does will affects the mood of the conversation, therefore ruins it. She's probably also sick of being an introvert but don't know how to change. The biggest problem for them is that they like to overthink things while trying very hard to think about other people before she talks. Which ended up over-stressing her to the point where she can't even strike up a conversation since everyone else is better at it than her. Making Ars think there's really no point of her being there in the first place. Which is mainly why most introverts are loners but inherently they do want friends that's why Ars was there in the first place.
@Tab That's true. Making another introvert friends might be wiser. Most introverts will not get that overly hype or overly excited when they talk, like how the extroverts usually does. That level of excitement usually scares them off coz they felt like if they jumped into the conversation at that moment it will ruins the atmosphere. But her effort makes it seem like she wants to change so I can't really blame her.
@@Qopa "she wants to change" except intro/extraversion is hardwired in our brain so yeah good luck with that. changing how social she would want to be, now that's workable (I'm working on the same myself)
When she was talking to herself about there was no opening to join the convo, I also felt that bc I am like that sometimes. She is so pure... and sad. Please sub to her
I hate going through the comments every time I find this video and finding things that just destroy me and leave me at 1hp like this. I'm like "yes sort of relatable but I am not introverted! nope!", and then I read this and my reaction is similar to aqua eating shit when she leaked her weight or height accidentally
Every introvert feels this. The pity kindness and pity attention they give you hurts more than being ignored. Because it never feels genuine. (I'm not specifically saying that was the case here, but it would be the case in real life for us. The feeling of being a burden in social gatherings.)
Because it feels like they're only doing it because "Oh right, I forgot she was here!" or that they're only doing it because someone is doing it too and it became the topic now, you suddenly became the center of attention.
@@Zharque That's not pity. Its simply being friendly. Should they instead be mean or ignore her? What is the preferred response if she is unwilling to engage more?
pity - to feel sorry for (someone or something) Because it feels like they're doing it because they're sorry for ignoring you. Yes it's friendly but pity isn't a malicious intent so it can overlap with friendliness.
I think this is the closest I've ever seen social anxiety represented even to people who don't experience it This kind of thing... It's really heartbreaking to see, and honestly I wish more people could
This video should be played at schools, everyone should see it so they can understand introvert peple. Most don't know too much about introverts, so they end up making them feels bad despite they were trying too be kind and considerate with them. In this video the others tried to include Almal but they allways end up excluding her and making her feel sad, and that's what usually happens irl. Also most people thinks being an introvert is a problem and feels bad for them, so they hurts them when they try to be nice to them because they're being condescending instead.
@@LINK1V4N This isnt really being introvert though. Introverts would be fine not being part of the conversation. Because they enjoy not being in too much of a social setting. Malmal wants to be part of the group and their conversation. An introvert would not really care for such things. Malmal is portraying social anxiety if anything. Very different from what being a introvert is. Nevertheless, I believe social anxiety is significantly more common than what people think so, any kind of "education" about it and how to perhaps connect with people who have social anxiety would be great. I meself have social anxiety, not in any shape of form as severe as Malmals but still.
It's very abstract being severely anexital and knowing how this feels way to well but still see how distant it seems when you're watching someone else do what you do
@I see A lemon being introvert means you just don't like to talk too much, prefer lonliness and keep things to yourself but you coul perfectly socialice, being shy means you want to socialice but you aren't able to do it
@I see A lemon An introvert can be shy, but being shy does not necessarily mean one is introverted. They are not the same thing; that's like saying all rectangles are squares.
@I see A lemon That wasn't my point. I meant that saying introversion and shyness are the same thing is wrong. Not every introvert is shy, and not every shy person is introverted. Also, what Anikilator has been saying is correct; introverts can be perfectly capable of social interaction, though they typically prefer being alone and keeping to themselves. Shy people, on the other hand, may have a strong desire to socialize with others, but are too nervous to do so. Thus, Malmal may not necessarily be introverted, but she is most definitely shy.
Seeing her go from comfortable and brave yet cautious, into silent...scared and worried about joining in abruptly. Then to crying and feeling worse once people in her VC realise and try to cheer her up. God it just makes me realise I still have a long way to go myself.
Damn I was like "Oh she's all cute and shy" But then she got all sad and cried and all damn it was so painful. Poor girl, I just want her to enjoy playing Minecraft with her friends, I hope she will get better at talking to people.
Man I used to be really awkward like this. Then I learned the art of not caring as much. Your presence is appreciated when you’re with the right people, just gotta teach yourself to not think too much, let it come out naturally
This is super refreshing. I’m feeling bad looking at all the comments of people thinking they can’t do anything about their social anxieties, when you really can. You just gotta let it happen, change your mindset.
Poor baby, i dont even think i can call this just introverted, shes so socially scared and nervous and anxious she started crying. I so wish i could give her a hug and keep her head up. I feel so bad she gets inside her head so much...
I understand that situation very much. It happened a lot to me as well. You joined in to the otaku bunch, you can't really blend in because you're "not otaku enough". Then you go to the normies, same thing happened. And to make things worse, they'd go to you because they realized you're being quiet or being distant to them and they go to you out of concern and basically trying not to make you feel left out of the loop. But that very act is the part where it stings the most. Maybe next time, don't get her involved with everyone when they're in the middle of "frenzy" work. Whoever was that messenger have a bad timing to do it. The intention is good, but the situation is like leaving a child to a group of grown-ups hanging out and they barely paid attention to the child.
actually i think the solution is quite simple, just collab with 2 people not three or more people, once we get used to it than add more people little by little
Man, I hate how relatable this is. This brings back memories of the day. I was always that one guy. You know, sits alone at lunch, the last one chosen for team-oriented sports at p.e., popular target of the school bullies, no friends, etc. This even continued though my college years. It sucked. All attempts at socializing were failures. I was ignored by those who didn't care, and those who did only did so to kick me down to bolster their overinflated ego. One day I just went "screw y'all". Now I'm a boneified loner who enjoys all the solitude I can have. It's a pity that most people I've interacted with just downright suck, but I've dealt with it too much to care anymore. Those of you who have friends, cherish them. Don't take them for granted. You truly have something special with them.
Thanks man, appreciate your support! For me, social anxiety is really difficult to overcome, especially that I was fighting it alone. But realising I had friends that stuck with me for the past 6 - 10 years of school, I fought through it, because I know they won't back either if they were in my shoes. To this day, I'll improve myself to become a more social person! :)
I remember seeing this video and subscribing to her out of support because I could relate to her social struggles a lot. I admittedly don't watch many of her streams nowadays (not because I don't like her current content, just have gotten busy with my life) but I checked in and am glad to she she's doing so well since this clip was released! She's grown a lot not just in terms of her sub count, but her courage and personality as well. I am genuinely happy for her and hope that only more success comes her way.
“There are no openings” Me: I’ll just cut in, I can’t find the appropriate time, screw my autism, I want to be extroverted. Others: Why are you so rude cutting in? Me: WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO STOP?
Thank you so much for this clip, this one clip got me into whole VTuber rabbit hole, and now Im daily supporter of Ookami Mio since 2020 November! And it's all thank to you for making this clip! Thank you very much for finally turning my life for better and have something to cheer for! Im deeply thanking you again!
This hurts to watch. :( I feel so sorry for her but at least she tried. It does help to take baby steps with a good group of people. Personally I'm okay at starting and holding conversations but it helps that my IRL friends are literally all just introverts... Though when it's outside that circle of friends, my natural shyness combined with social anxiety destroys me on the inside, lmao. The social awkwardness is just a cherry on top.
I stumbled upon this clip on January 2020 and this clip is what makes me started to fall into the vtuber hole, not to mention it's my first time experiencing a real, non-scripted, vtuber (not counting kizuna ai, mirai akari, and others). I feel like i can relate to ars so much (being an introvert and all) so i watch more clips of her and then youtube eventually start doing their thing and recommended another vtuber. Basically because of this clip, i knew about nijisanji, i knew about hololive, i knew about voms, a lot of indie vtuber and I'm thankful for that. And it makes 2020 so much better than it should be. So thank you, RollCakeBoy
Just came back after 6 months to comment that this vid is the reason why I fell into the vtuber rabbit hole and now I'm watching vtuber videos everyday. Thanks for the translation!
"i wish I'd been born an extrovert" I know a virtual streamer that similar to this one.. Its really painful for her to talk because shes not really use to it. But she's doing her very best to interact with her viewers. (she's reika miko btw new one) Gonna sub to ars ~
I used to be a socially awkward guy that closed myself to the point that I don't have a single "friend" all the way from elementary school to middle school. When I thought this is my fate and my life was over, I met a friend, a person that I can called "a friend". He was the type of person who (I don't know the words for it) literally opposite to me, he talks alot and easy to get along with. He helped me get out of my socially awkwardness, introduce me to more people that surprisingly has the same hobby as I am. Managed to live to this days all thanks to him
@@ravens4200 well, technology allowed for us to "sustain" ourselves without THAT much physical interaction with people as a side effect... Yeah...that needs changing
Jez Mizuhashi Izayoi I can't even play dungeon/raids in MMOs solo without my gut tightening up and worrying about what the other people will think of me. Even more so if I end up being the one to make the group wipe. Joining a guild or whatever for harder content is impossible
AAAAA THIS HURT SO MUCH I'M PHYSICALY HURTING MYSELF, IT HURT SO MUCH I STARTED CRYING WITH HER, IT HURT SO MUCH I JUST WANTED TO SEE HER HAPPY THIS RELATE TO ME IN SO MUCH PERSONAL LEVEL THAT I WISH I DIDN'T SEE THIS
I'm not an extreme introvert like Malmal but i kind of feel the line "Their kindness hurts" because alot of people who worry about me doesn't seem genuine or i feel as if they just want something from me.
I find myself coming back to this video every now and then, I don't consider myself an introvert more like an ambivert really, but I think I used to be much worse and watching her go through it is painfully relatable.
I remember watching this when I first learned of vtubers and not knowing any of these people. Now I'm coming back to this video and knowing exactly each one of them, how time flies.
I noticed that most of the v-tubers have a near identical setup, my guess is that it helps with the tech support. The memory displayed is a limit used within the minecraft java version. Vanilla Minecraft in general allocates about 2GB of memory, and that is shown here.
Yeah, this is very relatable... Trying to find the timing to jump in while not wanting to ruin other's fun / trying to not be a bother, even if they say you're not. And as shown here, this isn't exclusive to irl. The struggle is real... Poor Malmal needs a hug.
Having just come from her first 3D stream, she’s advanced pretty far. It’s amazing to see how she’s grown from a socially-stunted wallflower to a quietly humorous introvert who’s comfortable in her own skin. In 3D.
I’ve been binge watching Ars clips recently and seeing her cry just breaks my heart. She seems like a really kind person at heart and I just wish she gains strength overtime
Oh wow, I was watching the Japanese highlights of this just the other day. For those not in the know, this is referred to in Japanese as コミュ障 (pronounced 'commu-shou'): it can be directly translated as 'communication problems' and is used to describe anyone who has problems socialising for whatever reason. I also saw the term 陰キャ ('inkya') being used in the comments, but I don't like that term: it means a negative or dark personality, which isn't necessarily true for those with social anxiety - add to that the phrase has bad connotations in Jappers, so one should use it carefully. As for Ars Almal, I wouldn't say she has a negative personality - although she does tend to prefer her own company and do things at her own pace, she can get along quite well with people on a one-to-one basis once she gets used to them. If this video has left you feeling down, I would suggest you go look for some videos of Ars Almal's collab streams with Ex Albio with whom she became good friends: just copy and paste the following line of Japanese characters into the search bar (or use the hashtag #エビマル) and you'll find some good ones to watch. Unfortunately I don't think there are any translated videos, so you'll have to use your skills of linguistic deduction as best you can. Sawrry. :P アルスアルマル エックスアルビオ

Poor girl, I just want her to enjoy playing Minecraft with her friends, I hope she will get better at talking to people.
Ahh it hurts to watch because that is so me. I hate it
Man I used to be really awkward like this. Then I learned the art of not caring as much. Your presence is appreciated when you’re with the right people, just gotta teach yourself to not think too much, let it come out naturally
subtle art of not giving a fuck
This. Life becomes a lot less annoying when you stop expecting too much.
@@bokkodo1 reality of life, abd it's often disappointing (yeah, I just did that)
@@AMEMORYSAY0 lol hurb
This is super refreshing. I’m feeling bad looking at all the comments of people thinking they can’t do anything about their social anxieties, when you really can. You just gotta let it happen, change your mindset.
This is like watamote but instead of feeling like I’ve eaten a lemon i want to give her a hug
Watamote vtuber irl
Poor baby, i dont even think i can call this just introverted, shes so socially scared and nervous and anxious she started crying. I so wish i could give her a hug and keep her head up. I feel so bad she gets inside her head so much...
but she was brave enough to try and she succeeded somewhat
@@stiimuli still, she deserve so much love
Her face is capable of sad emotion(4:22). Even so, she's trying to smile while crying... That hurts me a lot.
@US NN From that moment forward it just hurt more. Especially when she said “I just want to throw myself into this” my heart just sank
I understand that situation very much. It happened a lot to me as well. You joined in to the otaku bunch, you can't really blend in because you're "not otaku enough". Then you go to the normies, same thing happened. And to make things worse, they'd go to you because they realized you're being quiet or being distant to them and they go to you out of concern and basically trying not to make you feel left out of the loop. But that very act is the part where it stings the most.
Maybe next time, don't get her involved with everyone when they're in the middle of "frenzy" work. Whoever was that messenger have a bad timing to do it. The intention is good, but the situation is like leaving a child to a group of grown-ups hanging out and they barely paid attention to the child.
actually i think the solution is quite simple, just collab with 2 people not three or more people, once we get used to it than add more people little by little
That whole "not otaku/normie enough" part is so true.
This is so me. But in my server I have a really great.friend who always talk to anyone who is alone on the voice.chat. which is really sweet of him.
That's really nice of him :)
Aww that's nice :D
That's really heartwarming!
P.S Nice F/GO pfp
“I couldn’t find a single diamond!”
Almal: *ITS TIME TO SHINE*
Man, I hate how relatable this is. This brings back memories of the day. I was always that one guy. You know, sits alone at lunch, the last one chosen for team-oriented sports at p.e., popular target of the school bullies, no friends, etc. This even continued though my college years. It sucked. All attempts at socializing were failures. I was ignored by those who didn't care, and those who did only did so to kick me down to bolster their overinflated ego. One day I just went "screw y'all". Now I'm a boneified loner who enjoys all the solitude I can have. It's a pity that most people I've interacted with just downright suck, but I've dealt with it too much to care anymore. Those of you who have friends, cherish them. Don't take them for granted. You truly have something special with them.
I really appreciate you wrote all of this,I wish the best for you and take care!!
Maybe not entirely, but I know your pain. Take care, sending all the good vibes
Thanks man, appreciate your support! For me, social anxiety is really difficult to overcome, especially that I was fighting it alone.
But realising I had friends that stuck with me for the past 6 - 10 years of school, I fought through it, because I know they won't back either if they were in my shoes. To this day, I'll improve myself to become a more social person! :)
I can feel this...
I actually am good friends with a guy who had a very similar story to yours, we hang out every Friday.
This hurt to watch, but I was rooting for her the entire time, she did it in the end and I was so happy to see her join in the conversation.
I remember seeing this video and subscribing to her out of support because I could relate to her social struggles a lot. I admittedly don't watch many of her streams nowadays (not because I don't like her current content, just have gotten busy with my life) but I checked in and am glad to she she's doing so well since this clip was released! She's grown a lot not just in terms of her sub count, but her courage and personality as well. I am genuinely happy for her and hope that only more success comes her way.
I've never wanted to cry this bad in a while
“There are no openings”
Me: I’ll just cut in, I can’t find the appropriate time, screw my autism, I want to be extroverted.
Others: Why are you so rude cutting in?
Me: WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO STOP?
Yeah exactly except ADHD monke brain
the nostalgia is crazy for me here this was probably the first vtuber clip i ever watched 🥺🥺
I like the triumphant music playing while she tries to get over her social anxiety.
For me it was dramatic music.
9:41 the moment that we're so proud of her growing better
"Their kindness hurts." nearly made me treat up 😭
Ars: "I want everyone to get along"
also Ars: * staying in the corner, talking about poop *
I relate to this too much it actually hurts
The Muss Protecc is strong with this one.
Thank you so much for this clip, this one clip got me into whole VTuber rabbit hole, and now Im daily supporter of Ookami Mio since 2020 November! And it's all thank to you for making this clip! Thank you very much for finally turning my life for better and have something to cheer for! Im deeply thanking you again!
Poor girl, i want to give her a hug :(
Me to
This hurts to watch. :( I feel so sorry for her but at least she tried. It does help to take baby steps with a good group of people. Personally I'm okay at starting and holding conversations but it helps that my IRL friends are literally all just introverts... Though when it's outside that circle of friends, my natural shyness combined with social anxiety destroys me on the inside, lmao. The social awkwardness is just a cherry on top.
Baby steps, just jumping into a conversation to say a small thing is a great way to start. Just gotta keep trying and eventually it'll get easier.
or it gets worse :D
@@vivvy_0 Even if it doesn't go well you can always learn from it :D Just got to keep on trying and we'll get there eventually.
I stumbled upon this clip on January 2020 and this clip is what makes me started to fall into the vtuber hole, not to mention it's my first time experiencing a real, non-scripted, vtuber (not counting kizuna ai, mirai akari, and others). I feel like i can relate to ars so much (being an introvert and all) so i watch more clips of her and then youtube eventually start doing their thing and recommended another vtuber.
Basically because of this clip, i knew about nijisanji, i knew about hololive, i knew about voms, a lot of indie vtuber and I'm thankful for that. And it makes 2020 so much better than it should be.
So thank you, RollCakeBoy
Poor girl, I understand all too well.
“Welcome to our underground labor facility”
Ars: wait I haven’t had anything to eat yet
*eats watermelon*
She produced that emotion of me wanting to protect her like i would my own little sisters. I hope she finds her happiness.
0:44 guess thats why she noped out on maimoto lol
poor almal :c
Add to that the way Maimoto said it was just them on the server xD
Nah, she did that to mess with him, lol.
Just came back after 6 months to comment that this vid is the reason why I fell into the vtuber rabbit hole and now I'm watching vtuber videos everyday. Thanks for the translation!
"i wish I'd been born an extrovert"
I know a virtual streamer that similar to this one.. Its really painful for her to talk because shes not really use to it. But she's doing her very best to interact with her viewers. (she's reika miko btw new one)
Gonna sub to ars ~
TH-camrs: Finding diamonds
Me in singleplayer: House designer in survival
Literally me. Like beating the Ender Dragon don't compare to building a beautiful house ~
You built a house? I’m a caveman the whole game
I used to be a socially awkward guy that closed myself to the point that I don't have a single "friend" all the way from elementary school to middle school.
When I thought this is my fate and my life was over, I met a friend, a person that I can called "a friend". He was the type of person who (I don't know the words for it) literally opposite to me, he talks alot and easy to get along with.
He helped me get out of my socially awkwardness, introduce me to more people that surprisingly has the same hobby as I am.
Managed to live to this days all thanks to him
Im really happy for you,I wish you a Nice day!!
@@Mars4321 Merry Christmas to you too.
@@ravens4200 well, technology allowed for us to "sustain" ourselves without THAT much physical interaction with people as a side effect...
Yeah...that needs changing
You should tell him this if you haven't, I bet it would make him happy to know how much he means to you!
would watch an anime about this story
Your fans are there to support you!
4:34
Wait wait wait is she crying for real!? This is so sad 😩
海外ニキ達もワイらと同じ感想をコメントしてて、安心した
Oof this hits too close to home
I've never related to someone on such an emotional level
This is so relatable and cuz that i play alone or offline
Searching for someone cool to play Minecraft is so hard ...
Jez Mizuhashi Izayoi I can't even play dungeon/raids in MMOs solo without my gut tightening up and worrying about what the other people will think of me. Even more so if I end up being the one to make the group wipe. Joining a guild or whatever for harder content is impossible
Notch get this girl diamonds STAT that sad Vtuber is 100% protect material right here
Where Dinnerbone at?
Damn...
I want to give her a hug now.
AAAAA THIS HURT SO MUCH I'M PHYSICALY HURTING MYSELF, IT HURT SO MUCH I STARTED CRYING WITH HER, IT HURT SO MUCH I JUST WANTED TO SEE HER HAPPY THIS RELATE TO ME IN SO MUCH PERSONAL LEVEL THAT I WISH I DIDN'T SEE THIS
I'm not an extreme introvert like Malmal but i kind of feel the line "Their kindness hurts" because alot of people who worry about me doesn't seem genuine or i feel as if they just want something from me.
Same.
Me: "This anime AI-looking youtubers looks dumb"
*Watches one*
Me: *"OK THEY NEED TO BE PROTECTED"*
I find myself coming back to this video every now and then, I don't consider myself an introvert more like an ambivert really, but I think I used to be much worse and watching her go through it is painfully relatable.
2:50 "There's no place for me"
Oof, that hurts.
the video that made me dive into Nijisanji/Vtuber world....
It's really amazing just how much Ars has grown compared to how she was in this video
"Their kindness hurts" is so real.
I don't want other people to waste their energy on my crappy self.
This sounds so much like an Oregairu reference..
I come back here after her 3D debut! I'm so proud of her.
this hurts so much, physically and psychologically
Their kindness hurts
I can understand her feelings very well cause this is truly me too. And it hurt
I remember watching this when I first learned of vtubers and not knowing any of these people. Now I'm coming back to this video and knowing exactly each one of them, how time flies.
btw, 05:30 can we just appreciate her PC here?! i9-9900k and RTX 2080! ...although she could allow Minecraft to use more of her ram...
I noticed that most of the v-tubers have a near identical setup, my guess is that it helps with the tech support. The memory displayed is a limit used within the minecraft java version. Vanilla Minecraft in general allocates about 2GB of memory, and that is shown here.
Watching this physically hurts me
Yeah, this is very relatable... Trying to find the timing to jump in while not wanting to ruin other's fun / trying to not be a bother, even if they say you're not.
And as shown here, this isn't exclusive to irl. The struggle is real... Poor Malmal needs a hug.
It's really hard being socially awkward
As an socially awkward introvert, I feel anxious right now.
I was hoping to laugh
I got depressed instead
"I'm nervous when there are two people"
So relatable it hurts. Once, I tried to start a conversation first but ended up really awkward, lol.
that moment where she was happy she managed to talk for a bit was way too touching, man.... I'm teary just remembering it...
Thank you. Cheers and Merry Christmas to you.
damn i feel the pain
She’s like me if I was a 2D girl...
this was THE clip that got me into vtubers. what a throwback
Having just come from her first 3D stream, she’s advanced pretty far. It’s amazing to see how she’s grown from a socially-stunted wallflower to a quietly humorous introvert who’s comfortable in her own skin.
In 3D.
5:30 I broke when I saw those system specs 😱
Hololive girls have the same 🤔, maybe office computer?
Ngl I've got the same specs but alot more memory
That avatar is so adorable aswell. I just want to pick her up and cuddle her.
Came back here after watching her growth and greeted her juniors #Thronez, she even make them nervous wwwww.
アルスの可愛さが世界共通で嬉しい
I am glad of prettiness of Ars by world common recognition
"life is cruel"
DAMN GOSH I aM deAd
i'm going to cry omg
I’ve been binge watching Ars clips recently and seeing her cry just breaks my heart. She seems like a really kind person at heart and I just wish she gains strength overtime
Oh wow, I was watching the Japanese highlights of this just the other day.
For those not in the know, this is referred to in Japanese as コミュ障 (pronounced 'commu-shou'): it can be directly translated as 'communication problems' and is used to describe anyone who has problems socialising for whatever reason. I also saw the term 陰キャ ('inkya') being used in the comments, but I don't like that term: it means a negative or dark personality, which isn't necessarily true for those with social anxiety - add to that the phrase has bad connotations in Jappers, so one should use it carefully.
As for Ars Almal, I wouldn't say she has a negative personality - although she does tend to prefer her own company and do things at her own pace, she can get along quite well with people on a one-to-one basis once she gets used to them. If this video has left you feeling down, I would suggest you go look for some videos of Ars Almal's collab streams with Ex Albio with whom she became good friends: just copy and paste the following line of Japanese characters into the search bar (or use the hashtag #エビマル) and you'll find some good ones to watch. Unfortunately I don't think there are any translated videos, so you'll have to use your skills of linguistic deduction as best you can. Sawrry. :P
