It begins with her own memory of the event, where she's basically a polished, professional V-Tuber with her own theme song. When we actually see the stream, shw wears an African tribal mask because she's camera shy, fumbles to open the CD case, and ends up singing karaoke since she lost the actual game. Present day Tama is mortified by what she sees.
