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
Happy Birthday to Alexandria Menzies who I went to Octoberfest and Jason’s Deli for birthday party lunch. It was particularly important for Anne to have a nice day before she had to go into the hospital. We ended up not staying at the Octoberfest as the vendor prices and nasty food were horrible. It reminded me that every cell in my body hates the downtown area of Richmond, Virginia. My review is that all of Virginia rates one star for having horrible music and food. I still love seeing music and eating, but going on road trips to other states is the one way to be near anything good.
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.
This week I am obsessed with the Palia game on Steam. All of the apps named Discord and Twitch are obsessed with it so I wanted to understand the hype. Palia is a game which somehow manages to have the good parts of many other top ranking MMO games while having none of the problems. It fully mimics World of Warcraft at many sections so I will compare and contrast it with a Warcraft book for a video-game and book-review video this week.
My Twitch ID has changed. The Twitch drops for games got better. I am now Poedaughter with nothing after it. Not Poedaughter7, or PoedaughterFH7, or Poedaughter777 those are old accounts I don’t get into anymore. Now that it has finally let me into my normal account again I will resume playing video games on there. I was hating Twitch as it locked me out of my account, but now the game rewards have brought me back.
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.
P.S. My screen name is Poedaughter7 at user ID 2rky87n9 for chat.
Happy Bastille Day holiday to France. I was traveling in France for the first Bastille Day I saw as a kid. It is also celebrated in New Orleans, Louisiana in the USA as it was originally a French colony. Many people still speak French in the area.
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
