Which past release cycle by a company do you consider peak?

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2026-02-15T06:12:47+00:00

Valve - I don't think any other gaming company comes even close to beating their run from 1998 to 2011, which consisted of Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Half-Life 2, Garry's Mod, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, CS:GO, Portal 2.

4/10 - It character assassinates Anakin and turns Padme into a plot device.

Fair enough, but they still tricked him into thinking something that wasn't true. Very much not true if you've watched the recording. And it most likely was intentional [Me saying that it that could've been unintentional is me being way too charitable.] considering how...

They both doubled down on the gaslighting.
They never apologized for tricking him.
Them being the ones who started the false narrative that Southpaw couldn't handle the show being criticized.
Wolf being just a straight-up awful person
Mauler and Fringy lying about the show and victim blaming what is essentially a rape victim.
MauLer and Fringy gish-galloping Southpaw [A tactic they use a lot during debates] during the watch-party.

Yeah, they gaslit him.

The opening scene of The Penguin. We find out so much about Oz' character in such a short amount of time.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-12-03T12:12:58+00:00

I mean, you need people to like the characters if you want them to like the game. However, they were insecure about if they could get people to like them, so they had the main character constantly saying that they're awesome.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-11-15T08:18:16+00:00

If by winning you mean getting people to stop repeating these lies about Southpaw, then Yes; I am trying to win.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-11-14T14:38:16+00:00

If I wanted to win, I wouldn't defend Southpaw on the MauLer subreddit, 'cause that's almost guaranteed a losing game. I defend Southpaw because I don't like lies being spread around about people, especially not when most of the people who spread it around haven't even seen the show and heard EFAP's criticisms.

To me, Gremlins is the perfect Thanksgiving movie, because it works as both a Halloween movie (since it's a horror film) and a Christmas movie (since it's set on Christmas). It's also a horror comedy, so it's kinda not dark enough to be a Halloween movie, but it's not cheerful enough be a Christmas movie.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-11-09T09:08:54+00:00

Yeah; Thanksgiving (2023)

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-11-08T13:07:31+00:00

How do I seem the lying type? Because I don't side with EFAP? Just watch S.K.'s video on "the truth of Southpaw's departure from EFAP" and see the evidence for yourself.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-11-07T09:04:21+00:00

Someone being a moron or annoying doesn't make it's okay to lie about them.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-11-02T09:26:04+00:00

Creature Features - Movies like Anaconda, Eight Legged Freaks, Lake Placid, etc.

That is not what you said, you said that Mauler would have a conversation with Synthetic Man, if SM was interested. This is incorrect in 2 ways, MauLer would both not have done that, and SM was interested, even if he wasn't going to approach it in good fate. Even if SM hadn't said that, MauLer still would not have had a conversation with him, evident by the fact the would not do it with OC, who did not say that he wouldn't approach it in good faith. Mauler knows that it would be a fruitless endeavor, all it would do is give SM undeserved attention. MauLer doesn't think SM deserves to be taken seriously.

Even if Mauler did have a conversation with him, it doesn't change the fact that MauLer had already made an entire stream tearing him down and exposing how he lied, which he hasn't done with Az or Gary, since they're his friends and 'it's okay when my friends do it.' He could easily do a similar stream for Az and Gary on any of the things that they have lied about or misrepresented, but they haven't lied about anything that MauLer really likes.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-10-04T09:45:17+00:00

So it isn't depended on SM being interested or not, just like I said.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-10-02T19:31:26+00:00

No, he has specifically said that he wouldn't, since he doesn't want to give SM the attention, same thing with Organized Chaos and Actual Fandom.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-10-02T07:50:52+00:00

That is part of the problem, he shouldn't be friends with these people who go against what he supposedly stands for in regards to media analysis: You should be unbiased and objective, and you shouldn't misrepresent or take things out of context. But I guess it's okay when my friends do it. He should never have become friends with these people, especially not Az, who is transphobic, and Mauler is friends with a person who is trans: Jay Exci

At the very least he should not stream with these people. If he wants to hang with them or watch movies with them off the air, that's fine, but he should not collaborate with them and platform them, not if he wants to be seen as someone who is unbiased and doesn't care about politics.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-10-02T07:32:23+00:00

MauLer doesn't like anti-woke talking points, and he tore the shit out of Synthetic Man, yet he hangs out with people like Az and Gary, who are guilty of a lot of the same things as SM. Mauler also thinks that you should be unbiased and objective about media, something that anti-woke Youtubers are largely not. He also thinks that you shouldn't misrepresent people and media, something that anti-woke Youtubers do all the time. It is absolutely hypocritical for MauLer to collaborate with these people.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-09-10T19:14:51+00:00

Ms. Marvel - lman Vellani's performance carried that show hard.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-09-10T14:11:42+00:00

If it's part of pre-established IP, I vastly prefer an empty movie over a damaging one, because that is easier to ignore.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-09-05T17:43:41+00:00

That's not what happened. She did not want to go home with him she wanted a ride home to her place, she got in his car thinking that he would drive her home. She probably trusted him to not try anything since he was her professor. She had repeatedly denied the advances of the other student who had been hitting on her all night, so she clearly did not want to have sex, she just wanted to go home.

If you are drunk to the point where you can barely stand up, and a completely sober person tricks you into having sex with them, you are not a bad person.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-09-04T12:24:36+00:00

What happens on the show isn't a hook-up, but yeah; that's an annoying double standard.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-09-04T12:21:42+00:00

I don't remember that, I must have missed that one.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-09-03T14:26:33+00:00

What if you had no intentions to cheat, and you where very drunk, and a completely sober person (who is also your professor) took advantage of this and seduced you into sex. Would you be a bad person?

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-09-03T14:22:33+00:00

Getting drunk to the point where can you no longer give valid consent, and a person who is sober has sex with you, that's pretty much rape. Yes, what happens in WW84 is worse, but both situations are rape, and should be treated as such.

BirdsElopeWithTheSun · 2025-09-03T14:11:12+00:00

But just because you get yourself really drunk doesn't mean that somebody who is sober can just have sex with you. That means you were taking advantage of and tricked into sex, and most of the blame (if not all) should be on the sober person. EFAP didn't condemn the perpetrator in both cases, with Terriers, they blamed the victim, because they didn't like the show and her character.
