I forgot Lowtax did some gaming garbage videos with one of his kids sometimes. They seemed kinda happy joking around back then

His daughters were always funnier than he was.

Then again, Captain von Trapp was an abusive father who lived in a big house and had zero marketable skill, and ended up exploiting his children for money. What an idyllic musical that was.

'Hope' is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune, without the words, and never stops--at all.

Holy cats.
I remember going to a RiffTrax Live event where Lowtax showed some videos he made with his little girl (not that kind, you sicko Goons), they were very sweet and that little girl was adorable and very creative.

Also, without SA, Chickam would not exist. So RIP Lowtax, and thanks. :unsmith:

Yeah im clicking around the videos and he got stuck on some geometry and his daughter corrected him instantly with "I am ONE with the door." Was really not expecting a kid to be that quick witted.

He and shmorky had some cool chemistry too

had a lot of fun experiences & met a lot of great people thru this site, and laughed at lots of lowtax content in the past. Regardless of his faults he contributed some amount of good to the world, for a lot of people, and I appreciate that. Rip.

It's certainly possible. They seem to be more of like a "pawn shop that sells guns" kind of place as opposed to somewhere you would get a FN Five-seven, but who knows?

It wasn't for money it was to escape from the government who wanted him to get back to his old job

That was definitely my reaction--hard to see what value SA would have had that would justify a value anywhere close to the price paid for Reddit., but I guess I don't have any knowledge of SA's finances

As busted as a lot of forum features have been historically, SA doesn't look like a lovely BBS from the 90s like Reddit and I would bet money it was a lot more lucrative with the reg fees than Reddit too

This is a solid google 360 streetview of depressing Missouri btw.

Edit: I almost drove with a buddy that night to meet lowtax and play farcry 4 apparently.
Instead we stayed in town took acid and went to a strip club. so overall i guess a better night.

It's interesting seeing old SomethingAwful clash with new SomethingAwful in this thread. Modern SA is very milquetoast, PC, lets-not-offend-anyone while old SA was a very angry and offensive place full of juvenile gutter humor. Lowtax ventilating himself has kind of drawn that contrast into sharp relief.

I remember when the drama with Integral went down back in like 03-04, I felt really bad for her because the forums piled on her so hard. Now we know why she took off and everything went to poo poo. I kind of wish she'd come back to comment.

edit: If Lowtax had actually maintained, updated, or shown any actual managerial interest in SomethingAwful he could've been wealthy beyond belief. The guy was just a big bag of bad decisions. SA was Reddit and Twitter before there was Reddit and Twitter.

Lowtax's absolutely birdbrained schemes that would somehow help the forums in his mind were all delightfully poorly thought out. It sucked poo poo at the time but his incompetence at everything except being funny was probably the most endearing thing about him, looking back

I loved that he was such a gently caress up, but he always tried something he believed in. One time it worked at the perfect time, like getting hit by a magical internet car late one night.
