You know it would’ve been easy for Virgil to continue showing up and drawing the paycheck despite his heart no longer being in it, and he probably should’ve done just that

AnEdgelord posted:The only reason aliens would be interested in us is to study us for scientific reasons. All that requires is observation and occasional abductions, any more contact than that may effect our behavior too much for them to harvest useful sociological data. My favorite theory about why aliens would visit us is to watch the lunar eclipse. If aliens are statistically common enough that another intelligent species could reach our planet, then intelligent life isn’t particularly rare or interesting. Maybe humans have some kind of outlier characteristic (which is a fun brand of Sci-fi where we’re not the middle of the pack Everyman surrounded by superhuman or super weird aliens) that would make them want to study us. But it’s rare for a planet to have a very large moon like ours that is also almost exactly the same diameter in the sky as the local star. So our total eclipses I think are very rare.

Good decision, a horrible burden lifted from the podcast. Bad Faith is utter garbage Halloween Liker fucked around with this message at 05:01 on May 20, 2021 |

I enjoy the Virgil/Brianna chemistry but most of the time Virgil doesn't even speak during the interviews lol.

What was the last Chapo thing Virgil was even part of? I can't remember the last time he was on the show. Amber too, but I guess she's writing her book.

I remember Matt being irate about him on his streams after he ghosted when Bernie lost the primary, but that could have simply been due to being constantly asked "Where's Virgil?" It's a shame because he was a very good and active part of the crew before that.

It must be incredible to have the luxury to just walk away from the easiest job in the world. You just collect the fattest paycheck of basically anyone you know outside of finance for what could not possibly have been more than 4-5 hours a week of work, and you just incidentally become popular and famous and get to meet all these awesome people. I wish him well, I miss Amber more anyways. Having her name on the end of that letter rings extremely hollow to me for some reason.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le7Fqbsrrm8 There's this video from last year about the navy pilot footage that explains the pilots are just dumb guys staring through the flir cameras. The footage is either; a plane too far away to get range so they tell the pilot no one is in front of him, gimbal camera refracting the light of a inverse infrared view of a jet's plume, or balloons getting different wind speed/direction at different altitude than the jet.

I miss Virgil, I heard him back on an old Talking Simpsons and the man used to talk! Sometimes in complete sentences! It's a shame he decided to split but you can kind of see why, Virgil wants to try and change the world through podcasts and The Dry Boys want to talk about what films are secretly about having sex with your dad the President.

Previa_fun posted:I enjoy the Virgil/Brianna chemistry but most of the time Virgil doesn't even speak during the interviews lol. This is my take. I like Bad Faith, it’s got interesting guests a lot of the time. But yeah, Virgil is mostly silent and it just stands in stark contrast to how loving funny he was on Chapo. Like, I can’t remember what it was but he had a single line in the episode about Alex Morse and it was the hardest I’d laughed that ep. So it goes, and it’s not like it truly affects me, but I really enjoyed having the 5 hosts and the rotations/combinations they would have.

Getting owned so badly online you leave a job where you make 15k a month for saying like 10 sentences a week on a podcast.

there's a part of me that is annoyed at him for walking away from such easy money. it's like, what kind of cossetted, impossibly comfortable son of a bitch leaves such a cushy gig behind. the wastefulness of it! then there's a part of me that wonders, maybe he isn't cossetted and comfortable, and maybe it is an act of some kind of artistic integrity, or whatever analog of that a podcaster would have. and I could almost respect that but then I remember that bad faith does not appeal to me and go back to being annoyed. he didn't do that much on chapo but I liked his contributions

Virgil is very funny and he and Felix were good subs for each other. I'm glad Felix is showing up to nearly every episode lately to fill the niche.

Jabronie posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le7Fqbsrrm8 Seems incredibly unlikely even without watching the video. You might be able to hand wave away civilian sightings with poo poo like that but navy pilots are a slightly different matter. Especially when they are telling their story on national television with pentagon backing. Whatever is happening it is not mere optical illusion. Doesn't mean they're actual aliens though and if you want a much more compelling explanation then I give you this: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/40054/adversary-drones-are-spying-on-the-u-s-and-the-pentagon-acts-like-theyre-ufos

It is a little unfortunate that one of my strongest memories of Virgil is the whole Love Shack thing. It's not even that crazy, it just stuck with me.

I hope he comes back as a guest occasionally for the beltway garage but it sounds unlikely. Probably no more tabletop gaming episodes either which is a shame.

This is total outsider speculation but I always got a vibe from Virgil that he is the sort of person who likes to run their own show, and he wasn't as comfortable being in an ensemble situation. Sometimes the conversation would start in (or travel to) a place he wasn't interested in, it seemed to me. Not that Briahna isn't an equal partner but he presumably has a lot more say in where Bad Faith goes than where Chapo did.
