he killed himself because he was too stupid to understand the difference between civil and criminal court

remember when he kept saying "I've never been convicted of anything" or whatever? He killed himself because he thought he couldn't keep saying that but he totally could have, lol

I don't disagree that the dopamine was quickly depleted, but I'm not convinced that was the main issue.

I’m hiring ghost hunters to walk through the doom house and see if his soul still haunts to this day.

Someone keeps recording rancid beer farts and cookie orders on their spectral radio but I’m pretty sure that’s interference from the Mrs. Fields drive-thru down the street.

I think that was a mentally-unwell person throwing a fit in the memorial thread, wasn't it? I mostly remember Screamy the fish, but do remember someone eating a lot of probes for being unhinged in that thread.

Lowtax's legacy is.... complicated, to say the least. But, I think at least we can agree that Something Awful is one of the best things he ever did. I wasn't privy to all his later shenanigans until just a couple weeks ago; I didn't know he killed himself. Last time I paid attention to Lowtax was during the Uwe Boll situation.

Shame the dude's life played out the way it did. Guess that's all I have to say. Tragic, in the way a person parking their car on active railroad tracks is tragic.

The posters on the SA forums actually have zero responsibility for the children of Lowtax. It's sad they lost their dad in such a brutal and selfish way but the guy led a legitimately hilarious trainwreck of a life and injected himself into the forums whenever it benefited him.

We needn't adopt some contrived sense of solemnity on the off chance one of his offspring decide to visit the forums.

I mean if nothing else, he was a good salesman. Or whoever it was that wrote the old ad spiel for people to join the forums. Where they point out that when you compare the amount of entertainment a movie ticket buys you for its cost, even a good movie, vs the amount of entertainment even an account you barely use will buy you, it's kind of insane not to get one.

He was also funny too, at one time, before he got lazy and self-obsessed.

But making a cool website and being a funny person at one point do not make up for, you know, being an abusive piece of poo poo who was a toxic influence on basically every person that had the misfortune of becoming involved with him. It's a shame Lowtax chose to kill himself rather than try and better himself and be the father his children deserved, but it's not like anything of value was really lost.
