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"

Discourse is not very well liked, the main thing it has going for it is being newer at this point. People from old forms don't like it because it uses a phone-esque UI (there's no ctrl-F search, infinite scroll is dumb), and when I tried to use it 2-3 years ago it was more fragile than old PHP based forums were. They only distributed

Thank you for letting me know what that abomination of a 'forum' is called. No ctrl-f is possibly the worst design decision you can make for a forum.

City Name Sports Team was such a good idea. I really wanted some of the merch as a teen but even as a smooth brained mongoloid teen goon I couldn't shell out for merch that bad.

If he had actually tried to ape a sports design and had more than just shitty shirts it could have become a minor internet phenomenon.

I had suggested earlier he could have done "City Name/Sports team" in the style of all the NFL teams and for the Redskins done "City Name/Racial Slur" to get woke points. But asking a goon to do this work and buying the rights for a pitiance because "Lowtax <3" was too much effort and work.

You already said it but doing that would have required effort. He would have needed a marketing person and an ops person and… oh, he banged that person literally and figuratively and then banged himself.

I think I had more fun in this thread over the past week than anything ever on the Something Awful forums, even back when they were kinda good

 

[pwnest injun]

He was an addict given way too much money for doing nothing productive. I'm not sure how this could have ended any differently.

Lowtax is deffo a data point against the idea of universal basic income. He was a legitimately above average person, given enough that he didn't have to work to live and he degenerated in every aspect until he unceremoniously blew his brains out.

Yup.
And again, for those not sure who Lowtax was, this is why everyone hated him. He could have made a few hundred thousand on those shirts; I mean he made 20K in a week off of "my spine is crumbling ". But he didn't because he's that fucking workshy.

Its like the MS paint spaceships when he was making fun on star citizen which was clever. Nigga couldn't even deliver those.

It was nice he finally accomplished something for once (removing an abusive pillhead from the planet) but even then did it laziest, gooniest way possible. Not even a suicide note addressed to the "Gooftroop who finds me"

They would do other stuff, like probate your account for 30 days AND ban you so you have to pay $10 but you still cannot post again for 30 days

or 12 years, in certain cases. you see, being silly on the internet and not conforming to the trans-inclusive gay pride agenda is a very serious crime.

rich was actually pretty laid back until all the faggots and hairy purple shemales took over

So, he was laid back for all about 5 years after founding the site.

 

[Shig O'nella]

Her post reads like someone who doesn't want to hold a grudge against a guy who blew his fucking brains out.

Nah. Her post reads like a woman with a daughter who will one day go online and search her Dad's name.

 

[Back me up!]

Even now and then Lowtax would awake from his slumber and actually post something on GBS that would cause the mods to just seethe. The best was about 2 or so years ago he posted a thread making fun of games journalist and since the mods /admins could not close the thread a good time was had by all until Lowtax fuck off again.

And then he attempts to pick up relevance by teaming up with sarkesian last month

He raises interesting concerns I hadn't thought about too. I never considered that your UBI could be stolen because you knocked a woman up and things didn't work out. Baby mama drama would lead to Multiversal Super Incomes, where thots collect 6-figure incomes on top of welfare and food stamps, while foolish men are driven back into the Big Mac mines and fenced out of the jobless utopia, to serve out their crimes by crafting Happy Meals for their illegitimate chillun.

What a moron. Rich killing himself really was a way for him to fuck with his ex-wife's mental state one last time.

Yeah and "wait it out"? Would she become less illegal over time? Do you get a discount when you leave your visa expired after a few years? Girl the dude lied to you, that's what he did. Nearly everything he said was a lie. So many people didn't even believe he ever had real pain even though he did because he lied so damn much and would be bouncing around trashed and clearly exaggerating his claims.

The thread has moved along over 100 pages since I last checked, so I'm being a lazy aspie about this: anyone know if he left a note or in any way indicated he was in the throes of horrible despair when he punched his own ticket? Asking for a friend.

Edited to add: thank you for the swift replies

No but he had been suicide baiting on his stream for several weeks and I have found that he was actually telling his friends he was literally going to kill himself, minus the wacky zany part, in PMs for the couple of weeks between his last stream and the divorce finalization. Nobody did shit but be like "lol golddigging women amirite," including the women.

Eh if you had ordered them you would never have gotten them anyway. Seems that it was more likely you would get that shit in exchange for banging Lowtax than actually paying money for them.

The Facebook page for his account has been taken down. I have basically everything. I have more than what actually got posted here, and what was 10-15 minutes every few days will be a project, and this isn't the time of year for that, but what is already here is a more than clear enough of a picture, with dates included (thread was in realtime). We also have court records, and eventually we'll have more detail on those, as much as FOIA will allow. I'm sure plenty of detractors will come in and say that we fabricated every single status and SA post Lowtax and Logan made, PLUS the tedious and extremely detailed case.net screenshots, but whatever. If that's a problem for you then get your GED and come back when you can read.

You know, this reminds me of a girl I hired to clean my house when I moved several years ago. Turns out she was friends with a guy who ran a furniture store I bought some stuff from for the same house, although neither recommended the other to me, finding them both was a coincidence. Cleaning houses and offices wasn't her full time job, she was just doing it on the side, advertising on craigslist and facebook.

The guy at the furniture store offered to help her start a full time gig cleaning service. She asked me if I thought the guy was trustworthy and I specifically told her "no one is trustworthy, do not go along with any suggestion that 'you will make this much money' or you are getting scammed." So what does she say the next time I ran into her? "I can't wait to start this business, he said I'm going to make xyz amount of money, look at the business cards he got for me."

tl;dr: people are fucking stupid. A lot of women can't even consider their own existence outside of the context of a man giving them something. You can do whatever to try to convince them that no one is sitting around waiting to do them a favor just because they are female, they won't listen, they'll just move on to the next simp and get scammed by the next baby daddy.

Will anything you do make any difference? No.

Is this worth anything but entertainment? No.

Should anyone care about Lowtax's baby mamas? No.

It's not like it was a huge surprise. Even I was "joking" about him pulling a Budd Dwyer on his last stream. Except I wasn't joking. It was pretty obvious he was going in that direction.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I cannot get thru to a lot of women saying things like, "You don't need a man to survive, just work and take care of yourself, you'll be fine and if you want another relationship you'll be better for it," and "Honey you can just start a business yourself under your name and later you just file the paperwork and pay the $100 or whatever to get a company name, you don't need to join that MLM or have a man organize and bankroll it (even better if it's a side business and you're already working)" but any mention of numbers or lifting something over 20lbs and it's "LOL I can't do that that's too hard!!"

Yeah Ashli is dumb, she is an unreliable narrator and I know she has rental income, I don't give a shit because the court knows a lot more about those specific figures than I do and they've worked on this case for months. Watching her try to justify his abusive behavior like "He didn't get physical with me but that's just because I fought him off," is fucking heartbreaking. Those kids are going to have to deal with that their entire lives, and we're not exactly the ones that told them. He did it immediately after court, and of course they were the first to know.

And again, Ashli didn't post here. Idgaf how many kiwis were hanging off her tits because she didn't have an account, she didn't post and she specifically told her friends not to repost anything she said. I got literally all my info from Lowtax. If she did post here then link to the account. I know we just have a few shots of some Twitter posts that got hidden after being discovered and that's about it. That just proves she didn't want anything she said to show up here. Dumb, but not nearly as retarded as Lowtax.

That dead egged cunt void burger is probably dancing on his grave. I know a lot of users here are doing that too but I was as much of a fan as one could stand of lowtax until the end. I was hoping he could get his shit together but after he sold the site, I knew it was over. I thought Gaming Garbage was still funny, expect when he would go on whiny rants about how much his life sucks and 'woe is me'. His podcast 'Murder the Internet' was funny as fuck. It was two pill popping drunks rambling at each other about nonsensical bullshit. But again, that was far too much hassle for Rich. I'm in the minority here as an actual fan but this confirms that if you cross the troon mafia, you either flee the country or join the 41%.
