>>50543377>how many times did she streamed at the same time as Luna played Micra?The short answer is, one time this year. Luna has 10 streams of Micra since Jan1, Polka only streamed on 3 of those days, one of which was a large among us collab, and another was the short story time, which was several hours before Luna streamed.
>It kept catching my attention since then how often it happened that she and Flare both scheduled streams almost or exactly at the same time, streaming some generic game-of-the-month stuff like Splatoon or yet another horage, nothing that would looked important.As far as this goes, there's at least two things at play that I am aware of. For one, "spontaneous" collabs aren't as simple as a lot of people seem to think. If two people are playing the same game already then yeah, easy to hop into VC. But if not, it can mean making sure games are patched/up-to-date, making new tumbnails, changing streaming settings, etc. That's not to say it's not possible, but it can mean delaying the other persons stream while you get yourself sorted out, which no one wants to do. And the second is a Cover autism thing, but apparently once a stream starts, they are not supposed to show/play anything that isn't what their frame is labelled as. If you remember a week or two back when Pekora saw Polka streaming GodField and asked to play a few games, Peko wasn't able to show the gameplay on her stream because it wasn't a stream for GodfIeld. So changing your stream to play something else with someone typically means killing the whole the thing to start over.
That's not to say you are wrong mind you, it's still a possibility. But when you consider the complications involved, and the fact that Polka's been averaging around an hour and a half stream time since their Live practice started, it's not hard to see why it hasn't been happening. And, for what it's worth, it not just her. Nene and Botan have had to cancel streams recently due to the business of their schedule currently, and Nene had a members post along the same context as Polka's recent members stream, so they are all feeling swamped by it.
