I think I read it somewhere, not sure if here or on /pcg/ or discord but Uruka said something along the lines of it only taking them half a week to record the stuff, not sure if that was true, but yeah they were probably just taking a vacation and enjoying their time, I mean they weren't even supposed to go to NYC according to Lia, that was an optional thing that they chose to do, but it just is kind of dumb for Pippa to try and hype things up like she's going to be doing a bunch of offcollabs and all this and that and all the content she can get out of it and the ideas she has and nothing really does come out of it, but that's a thing Pippa does even beyond this stuff, still waiting on all those ideas she has written down, but I guess that's just the way things are, like with all that wonders ai crap.I'm not sure exactly what the recording schedule was like or how much flexibility they had with access to the studio, but she really needed to factor that in when scheduling everything else on the trip. It really does feel like they were spending most of their non-recording time dicking around which in itself is fair, it's a rare opportunity to experience another culture, might as well make the most of it - but it meant she'd then just come back too tired and/or drunk for the regular streams. I think anyone reasonable would be fine with the streams being short and more scuffed if she's busy and away from her regular setup, but actually showing up to those streams and not breaking the chain should be as much of a priority as showing up to the recording sessions.
