Inactive Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka - Deadbeat (emphasis on "Dead") founder of Something Awful, forced out of his own community, on his second divorce, stuck his dick in crazy, "Birth Giver"

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Does his dying even prevent Maplewife from getting the what’s laid out in the divorce settlement? I wonder if he left a spiteful will?

It’s a little strange her lawyer informed her of his demise. Made me wonder if he offed himself somewhere other than home - like the parking lot of the courthouse or some shit.

Either way the timing makes his suicide look like it was driven purely out of spite. Hell of a reason to kill yourself.

Lowtax was a weird but culturally important dude done in by his own numerous shortcomings. Anything good about the little bit of "edgy internet" that still exists can trace much of its DNA back to his site. It's a real pity it turned out this way if he is indeed dead.

One of my fondest Lowtax memories came from his spastic fight with Uwe Boll. After naïvely expecting a goofy sparring session and instead getting fucking rocked, some "ringside commentary" woman with a microphone asked him what it was like getting punched in the head repeatedly. He smirked as he said something alone the lines of "well, I can show you if you like!"

edit I found it it's the first 15 seconds of this lol. It's such an on-brand moment for him.

Sometimes the best thing you can say about a person’s life is that it shows the next generation what not to do.
Valé Lowtax, you exceptionally complex individual.

Lowtax's ex offers a little glimpse behind the veil of what it was like to be married to him.

I'd also like to address this, with me, Rich did not get physical. I am 5'11 and I used to weight lift and was in shape, by this I mean I was physically his equal if not stronger than him. There was one instance where he rushed me and I put my arms out to stop him, another where he pinned me down on the bed, but from what I can recall right now the rest was emotional, financial, verbal and lots of intimidation like punching holes in the wall, throwing and breaking things, screaming in my face.

He did get physical multiple times with his first wife and once with his girlfriend after me.

I don't know why I feel the need to clear this up, but, I do.

I know that all three of us spouses loved him very much when we first got together. He was a complex man and it's devastating that there was so much potential there for a happier life if he tried to heal his demons and addictions successfully, and it ended like this.

Most humans are all not good or all bad. I have behaved in ways in my life that I'm not proud of. I don't know what I'm trying to say here really other than that grief is really loving complicated and I wish he had tried harder to heal if not for himself then for his kids. I hated him in recent times, but I also at one time loved him deeply.

My daughter is five, she will fare better than his other children who are in their teens and risk seeing people celebrating their fathers death.
