    I was just searching for sixus and found a store at renderosity for sixus1.  I found this https://www.renderosity.com/marketplace/products/126346/galactic-tyrant which looks promising?

    Has Sixus1 done anything for Genesis 9?

    I found something at the daz3d store. https://www.daz3d.com/siorga-dorcha-hd-character-for-genesis-9

    I own lots of their stuff from here and Rendo

    I don't think you can link to the latter though unless asked and even then it's iffy

    no commercial offsite links, understandably  DAZ want their forum to support their own store

    I can't listen to Rachmaninoff. I love the music, but it makes me want to dance; but since I never learned to dance, it just leaves me feeling terribly frustrated.

    But life goes on, doesn't  it? Until it stops...and then comes the mystery...unless it doesn't. 

    I'll be 70 near the end of this month, so I'm practicing rambling like the old frat that I am.

    I don't dance either.  My parents scared dancing out of me at an early age, trying to include clueless me in their Friday night square dancing in the early '50s.no 

    But I do sway to music and there are places in the Rachmaninoff 2nd Symphony where I dip and sway and go with the flow.  Parts of the 2nd symphony, from any of the four movements, come to me when I'm doing dishes, or when my brain is otherwise idle or mellow, and play in my head like an ear-worm.  But not an earworm, because it's maleable instead of annoyingly repeating.  I can "hear" the themes in my head and mash them up or modify(i.e. misremember) them a bit, and run different parts together, and compose my own internal brain music and sway to that, which makes observers curious, especially out in public.blush  I only wish I could open my mouth and sing out what I "hear", and infect nearby people with what I feel, and let them sway too.  I tell people that when I'm gone, there won't be a funeral or memorial, or burial.  But if they want to remember me, they'll find me peeking out from the Rachmaninoff 2nd Symphony if they listen carefully.

    Complaint:  Speaking of ear-worms, I've been plagued recently by random snippets from Gilbert & Sullivan's opera "The Mikado" attacking me without warning.  I swear..., if I mouth the words "I've got a little list" or "My object all sublime", or "Oh willow, tit-willow, tit-willow" any more, they'll find me writhing on the floor, blathering, foaming at the mouth, wearing a komono or montsuki.frown  The "I've got a little list" ear-worm often attacks me while watching the news, or police videos of overly drunk or entitled drivers refusing to be arrested.indecision

    Non-complaint:  Weather:  Still gorgeous.  Mid 70s, partly cloudy, slight breeze, not noticebly humid.yes  Time to toddle off to the store for groceries.

    ...apparently our good fortune here has run out.  It's been in the 70s and 80s most to the summer so far (occasionally a day in the low 90s here and there)  which is rather "normal" for Portland during the summer.  Unfortunately everything changes when a mini heat dome hits here with 101° tomorrow (Sunday) followed by 106° on Monday. 104° on Tuesday and 99° (probably 100°) on Wednesday. 

    Of course the week I will be at the Washington State coast it will be back down into the 70s and 80s again.

    With my fans not working (and I don't have the funds to replace them or the technical expertise to get them working since it must be an issue with the digital thermostat) not sure how to deal with the heat.

    Take a washcloth, dampen it, put it in a ziplock bag, put it in the fridge. When chilled, take the cloth and wipe lightly on your face, neck and wrists. Repeat as necessary.  Works with fevers as well.

    You should move up here, the temperatures should be around 20C (68F) this week and going down to 15C (60F) next week. End of summer is here.

    Today I told a scammer I was pick pocketing a master farmer.  They told me I shouldn't do it or something like that.  I said I did it because I couldn't talk to the master farmer.   I forgot to tell the scammer that the master farmer is in a game I play and there are only two options for him, examine and pickpocket.

    The farmer will talk to you, though! "Cor blimey mate, what are ye doing in me pockets?"

    I am texting Apple because my iPad touch ID isn't working right.  I thought that Apple might help better than Zuchinni.

    Grandpa passed away;  found out this morning. His Apple Watch stated the heart rate stopped around 10pm,  which is just two hours after I saw him last and just a little before I went to bed myself for the night. 

    Sorry that I'm popping in just to say something so un-fun  but I guess that's what this thread is for  -  not just fun, but complaints too.  Though its less a Complaint and more "Hey, this happened"

     

    But I guess I can share this too,  a silly thing I did alongside some friends/acquaintances since they were all doing something similar too

     

    For the context;  Twitter's rebrand to 'X'  and a lot of Kingdom Hearts fans were making memes about that

    Then dance like nobody is watching!! Let your body twitch and your feet move !! Like back when we were in the 1960's and 70's just move to the music and smile .I chair dance now that I've got mobility issues ,roll around on an office chair and wiggle what wiggles and swing what'll swing ,and some times cry while I'm doing it both for joy and long gone youth .........

    ...Canada correct? No can do as it's extremely difficult to emigrate there.  Also not very fond of "real winter" which is why I left Wisconsin many years ago. . One slip on the ice at my age and it's broken bones and the cold weather goes deep into these creaky bones and joints of mine.

    The high here today (Monday) was 108° which is a record for the entire month of August.  108° also occurred the first day of that "heat dome" we had two years ago which broke the old long standing record for the city of 107°.  The next two days saw two new records set at 112° and 116°.before it finally cooled down.

    I did manage to get my window fans working though just in time, long story but it's late and my brain hurts. Let's just say the "Han Solo School of Technology Maintenance" does work in real Life sometimes.

    ...Complaint:

    They need to take a break from playing with the store and such and take some time to deal with the forum servers.  A day doesn't go by without at least one "server" or "bad gateway" error.
