I went to the 'party' he held when he shut the SomethingAwful office down. There were maybe 10 people there and the first hour was spent watching him play Far Cry 4 on his brand new Xbox. He bought little Cesar's cheese pizzas to eat then we watched some sorry horror movie that we gave the mst3k treatment. He didn't like it when anyone made a funnier comment than him.

these are the types of anecdotes that keep His memory alive ~*~

He tried to immediately one up but it was rarely better. I feel I am pretty good at making smart rear end comments in real life situations because I get in trouble for it enough and I don't feel lowtax kept up very well.

LT and Shmorky actually made for a good team for LPs, kind of like a grizzled old man and their apprentice dynamic. Also, when his kid did LPs with him they were way funnier than LT himself. LT on his own was sad and unfunny.

I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.

Khad was a pedo? I remember his lps and I vaguely remember him being a mod for a little while too so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised

Lowtax could of basically been the founder of Reddit if he had any buisness sense or was a better person generally, And instead of springboarding the world's largest forum into the world's largest social media platform he managed to turn into a stagnating corpse, who's rotting carcass we now all reside in.

User retention! User retention, Lowtax, you boy! Drained dry. I'm so sorry. Here, if you have a mangosteen, and I have a mangosteen, and I have a straw. There it is, that's a straw, you see? Watch it. Now, my straw reaches acroooooooss the room and starts to drink your mangosteen.

This was after we had agreed on the sale but before anything was signed. I basically figured that he was the sort of person who would need to meet in person to actually sign anything. My sales "strategy" was "try to make him laugh and make sure not to rub in how hosed he is". We did share some sad laughter at his fate, which is a little more haunting knowing what I know now. It was mid-pandemic so we got delivery barbecue, like brisket and ribs and stuff, which was pretty good and he put on a weird horror movie. He had mangosteen juice to drink and goldbelly cookies for dessert. He really did seem pretty laid up as far as back stuff goes, he stayed in his basement and had his bed down there facing a big projector screen. The rest of the house felt like a museum, a place where a family had once been. It was.... heavy, knowing at least some of what he was in for. He still didn't sign anything and stalled for a few more months. That's the story of my lunch with lowtax.
