I wouldn't classify Lowtax as a cuck. He's 100% a bipolar person who self-medicates with alcohol, which is probably the worst thing you can self-medicate with as a bipolar person. I honestly feel bad for the guy. He's a deeply depressed person who can't climb out of the hole he's in. I don't think he ever really healed from his divorce and losing custody of his kids. That and he really didn't have any dreams outside of his forum, which went the complete opposite of the way he wanted it to and is unfixable. Yeah, he could sell out a bit and get more ad revenue, but there's no way to suck the SJW poison out of the userbase at this point. Stick a fork in it, it's done. When I hung out at the strip mall office he'd be walking around in basketball shorts, a stained T shirt, and no shoes. Do a little work in his office, then go in the game room and play vidya and the empty bottles on the table would just pile up. Cutting alcohol out of his life wouldn't totally fix him, but it'd be a major improvement. I let him try my kratom once to see if he would like it, but he was a baby who couldn't handle the bitter taste. I kind of feel bad for contributing to his alcohol problem - I would buy him his favorite beer and liquor to try and bribe him into letting me be a mod. Asshole always said no, though.
Everything had an air of neglect, even the office was filthy and full of bugs. The bathroom was all scummy and the toilet was full of shit stains. Lowtax's office looked like an episode of hoarders threw up in there. The backdoor actually had vines growing through it that slowly started to spread to the hallway. The place was literally starting to look like an abandoned Legend of Zelda temple. That's what alcohol does to a bipolar person, I know first hand. It suppresses that manic phase, and you need that manic phase to get shit done and clean your house for hours like a meth head. If he had a good solid manic phase he might be able to at least get the forums running on modern technology. His issue really is that he just got old before his time, mentally and emotionally. He's set in his ways, refuses to change, and refuses to adapt to the times, which is vital when you're running an internet business. He tried to get Gaming Garbage to take off in a time when Youtube LPing was a market that was already milked for the most part and everyone was moving on to Twitch. Instead of riffing on popular games, he and Shmork played shit from Game Maker and when the gimmick didn't catch on, instead of switching strategies he just put out more of the same. He's terrible at keeping on top of online money making trends. Does he even have a Patreon? That's where the money is now.
Also his new wife is a cunt. They invited me and Shmork over to their place once and I was bedridden with nausea and pain so I couldn't go and she took it as a personal offense and never reached out to us again out of spite. Petty bitch if you ask me.
