The most true thing on the web right now is people admitting how much they miss having enough money to go out. Gas, cover charge, parking, dinner it all has massively increased to impossible amounts of expensive. I used to go out in Texas with 20 dollars, and come back home with most of it in tact after seeing a concert. Men claim on websites they will pay for dates and never show up, and so you can only go out when you have extra cash yourself. My phone used to be lit up like a Christmas tree before I moved to the toilet known as Virginia. It is particularly annoying as Halloween has great concerts finally headed near here, and all of it looks expensive as a nightmare. No haunted house costume with a chainsaw looks as scary as the prices to get gas for the trip to the haunted house. #scaryhalloweenprices
Pretty much true of downtown music scenes everywhere. Parking, gas for travel, cabs, dinner, and seeing a bands used to cost less than $20 a night. Now at far greater rates than pay has risen every part of downtown across the USA is a con-artist crime pit. I now know why Europe has raves in warehouses not music venues as music venues can be attacked out of existence by government regulations. Yes you can meet bad people at clubs, but you could also meet them at grocery stores or libraries. Are they ALL going to be witch hunted next?
I can’t believe they are destroying the Elysium in Austin, TX. Valhalla was bad but Elysium sucks more in comparison. The venue was highly rated as “The Best of Austin” by newspapers. I was a regular there for years before I moved to the horrible place that is Virginia. They are making having a social life unaffordable everywhere.
I really hope the real Myspace makes a comeback. ABC news said they were back in a story. In fact I never quit using Livejournal. Algorithm free online posting was a far better way to read people’s posts online. There is a Boondocks show episode where a musician wants to have fans over for a party, and a kid posts it to Myspace. A huge party packed with people afterwards results. People forget online posting was fun once. #myspacereturn
In theory algorithms were going to show you the top posts of your friends and family. They would weed out the spamming they claimed. Instead they doubled the spam posts, and hid the friends posts. Net trolls and hate mongers thrive in algorithms. Nothing has stepped up to fill the void of old Facebook as new FB is non-stop spam daily and Instagram is only a Facebook clone.
I remember that Myspace had issues as well. People would fight about friends in the top 8 list. Users would make a Myspace they never updated, and dead people still had profiles up. People married with 4 kids had a Myspace up that said single from high school. If Myspace makes a comeback it needs to delete inactive profiles this time around. #inactivedelete
New Black and Purple House – how to make the beach spooky at Heartopia. Anyone can make a Halloween game dark and artsy, but it is a challenge to make the cutie games moody and dark! I am not the one person doing this task. I have seen 8 scary cathedral houses today, and they have the best prizes at the prize doors. I am glad I found a game as hypnotic as Heartopia right as my family is having issues so I can keep from dwelling on the stressful and negative.

June and July mark my last trips in 2023 to downtown RVA near the entertainment district in Shockoe. I take screenshots of my last check-ins to remember it has been years. I used to go to the Fallout dance-club and clubs around in Shockoe Bottom area as it vaguely reminded me of far better music clubs in other states with good concerts, friends, poetry readings, and dancing. Going out used to make people friends. My phone was lit up like a tree with friend calls. Unfortunately, Shockoe is a garbage-toilet filled with human sewage con-artist identity theft robbery scumbags. It is not just occasionally filled with bad jerks in downtown Shockoe, VA it is ALL jerks there. My last night there I had to flee in terror from people trying to rob me and force me to buy garbage property, and stealing my information for fraud. I changed addresses from the first place I lived in Virginia, and they instantly knew and demanded I update my information. How did they know unless they were USING my information behind my back without permission? Oceans of credit cards I didn’t apply for kept asking me for contact information correction. A real problem of showing ID cards to get into clubs is everyone sees your card and can copy the information for fraud. I am so glad I used fake ID cards and addresses with them so all their scams would fail. I barely got away. I still love live music as I lived in far friendlier towns for years. I am careful to ONLY buy tickets for road-trips to shows in other states for music and friends as something horrific is happening with nightlife and making friends in the Virginia local areas. Since vowing to never talk to downtown Richmond people my life has improved massively, I am passing night school, and I wish I had never made the mistake of wasting time in Shockoe. I am saving my money to move forever to a less horrible area. My review is I desperately tried for years to find a place in Virginia that is not a garbage-toilet, but it is all a disgusting garbage-toilet. #HateVirginiaForever
Wave Goodbye to the good old WordPress URL of https://frozenhistory7publishing.wordpress.com/ as my main webpage of Fh7publishing.com is down due to the URL being the new WordPress home for FH7publishing. Now instead of the page having a link to my blog, my blog will just BE at the URL. The page is down due to a webhosting site migration. Godaddy was the service I was using, but I have used WordPress longer in comparison to Godaddy, and their prices and service have become really bad. In contrast, WordPress hosting and email has become better and cheaper. Goodbye many online mirror pages, and hello more streamlined posting and e-mailing from the great JetPack app on my phone.
I am glad I got to get tickets for the Friday music show. Yet I had to desperately save up cash to get tickets. Corporations have made every square foot of all downtown areas a money pit. The last few concerts I went to I only saw a tiny bit of music, and had to leave. One big problem is cameras on phones. If you have one bad night and fall on your rear everyone will have a photo they post for 20 years. If you have an abusive ex-boyfriend that is bitter they can take a picture of you dressed up for going out, and Photoshop a mistake into existence.
When my older relatives were in college going out was cheap. If you did a bit of babysitting or lawnmower work, and had 20 bucks you could do everything. Art gallery shows, poetry readings, and music concerts were everywhere and people met friends and could date constantly. Husbands met future wives that way. Food and drinks were cheap, and available in many flavors day and night. Cover-charge was rare, and only $2 now minimum $20. Pay parking was rare, and now is expensive everywhere downtown in every major town. Uber and Lyft are 50 or 60 bucks for small drives, and the app deactivates riders for tiny issues. Free ride home services never show up, and I used to drive for Uber so I heard people speak in horror of dangerous situations they were in when waiting for a non-existent free ride.
Then I saw the post below on Instagram. It talks about New York nightlife, but it is true of every city. Then people in comments said move to the country. Country rent is cheaper, but you still need massive down payment and rent. Next, to live in the country you have to have a vehicle to do anything and pay for insurance and repairs. That is before you buy super expensive gas and parking. Driving everywhere takes a long time so you will want a hotel room to rest in which has also gone up massively in price. I am not the one person to notice that art and nightlife are not just difficult it is nearly impossible to do anymore. The friends and happiness nightlife art created have gone forever with it. Congratulations corporations you have not made being non-lonely difficult you have made it impossible. #music #art #futureUSA
Intro: Sims 4 is a popular video game with spell-casters and vampires. Did you know people can play a spell-caster mixed with a vampire and many other occult types? The FH7podcast reviews books and videogames with book connections. On Tuesdays we do a podcast at FH7 with videos. See more about how the story of Sims 4 mixes these two magical occult stories, and how to place food in nightclubs at https://www.patreon.com/cw/FH7Productions7 #Sims 4, #Spell-Caster mixed with Vampire.
Sims 4 is an ultra-popular video game where people can make a millionaire dream life and compare photos of it online with other users. If you buy the vampire pack you can play vampires. If you buy the spell-caster magic pack you can do magic. The problem is if you buy both they are so fun it is hard to pick what things you will give your main characters! Fortunately, you don’t have to! Here are a few tips and tricks that I wish I had known when playing spell-caster vampires. Use the cheat menu on a spell caster, and you can give it a vampire energy bar. They will be able to drink blood and order blood packs on the computer and drink them. The spell-caster vampires also never age, and burn in full daylight when not under an umbrella or tree. If you love vampire characters get the seasons pack so the characters can have umbrellas. Surprisingly the characters do not glitch out too bad, and use all the spells like Copypasto, and Repairo well using vampire energy to power the spells. Spell-caster vampires can no longer rise in vampire ranks, and cannot become master vampires. They can make vampire drinks at the bar, and know vampire secrets.
To make a spell caster vampire:
Press Ctrl + Shift + C (then enter)
Type testingcheats true (then press enter)
Type traits.equipt_trait_OccultVampire (then press enter)
Poof, vampire bar is now in the spell-caster menu!
If you have a vampire, you must have them cure their vampire state, turn them into spell-casters, and then re-add the vampire trait. In this way you can complete both the storylines in the game, and use all items in both packs. Unfortunately, if you try to put vampires in a house with non-vampire spell-casters they will try to eat them to death. Have a vampire reach high level vampire lore, gather 5 garlic, and make a garlic braid. This braid will protect non-vampires in the house from bites. Give all magic users brooms and set to “always use brooms” so they can power up magic spells. Vampire spell-casters can also eat food. You can place food at nightclubs by pressing edit when in night-club mode, and type in the search “stall” for food stalls to turn all night clubs to restaurants.
A good book to compare and contrast this video game’s details to is called “Press Stat The History of Video Gaming” by Erwan Cario. A visually stunning book available on Amazon that talks about the roots of video games from 1958 until modern day with details on Sims, Minecraft, and Fortnite.

No going out for me this weekend. Internet friends were meeting me at a concert and music night in Maryland, and I was going to be free as a bird. Yet I have gone back to school, and have several papers due this week. Going back to night school means cutting back on fun, and not just saying you are making good grades online. Guess I am going to be an angry bird for a while.
