Somewhere, Cliff Bleszinski is inconsolable.

I've been out of touch with anything SA related for a while now and randomly got a message from an old friend telling me about what happened. I had no idea he'd been such a trainwreck or was so vilified here, even if some of it is deserved, and really it doesn't matter to me. Whenever I feel nostalgic about the late 90s and early 00s, particularly the lawless land of the internet at that time, SA and the community here is a big part of what made it memorable.

So what happens next? Do we all get entombed alive with Lowtax, so we can give him 10bux avy purchases in the afterlife?

Lowtax had a lot of issues but nobody deserves to be in a place where they take their own life. It isn't funny to think of even an assholes being so deeply mired in despair they reach that point.

You don't have to glorify someone but some of the jokes being made are all kinds of foul.

hey if i squander the laziest cash cow in history while beating my wives like rented mules, you can talk as much poo poo about my death as your heart desires

Lowtax posted about needing money for a surgery for his back. It turned out he lied about it. We donated tens of thousands of dollars to him for his medical bills that turned out to not be real.

I believe that was part of the TOS, yes. He spent all his money though so there may not a grand tomb after all.

His exes calling him out, and public records from all of the court cases he was involved in. Lowtax was a scam artist, liar, and abuser. I dont care that he killed himself. The world is a better place now. The family he left behind needs money but that is being taken care of thankfully.

And that year, for his birthday, he got six pink ping pong balls in a little pink backpack.
From clever internet misanthrope to a grifting abuser who couldn't rise to the challenges in his life, Lowtax died as he lived: hurting the women around him, any way he could.

The judge decided Rich willfully squandered the marital estate to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars to get out of paying the right amount of owed child support and alimony, then handed down a gently caress-you amount of support he had to pay like $95,000 up front and $3500/month for two years or something.

He apparently owed $95,000, plus $3500 a month for the next two years. He boned himself though. Fucker had only himself to blame for his horrible choices.

As I posted earlier, I tried to off myself back in the day and I'm still fuming loving mad at old me for trying to kill new me. I got help and am better. Lowtax didn't, it's unfortunate.

Somebody last night said he owed like 92k lump sum plus 3.5k a month over a certain period of time. So yeah if true that’s quite a smack down for a guy deep throating summer sausage for 5 bucks on stream.

Meh, he had plenty of chances, the SA forums defended and supported him through all of them too up until the site was sold. He took advantage of us and lied about what was going on too.
