I think my favorite overclock was back in the early Conroe days when Intel first released the core m processor. I bought an Asus white book and after assembling everything and doing on a power-on test I immediately powered it off and did a pin modification to force the socket from 100 megahertz front side bus to 133 megahertz front side bus.

It was such a simple modification that netted me significant performance improvements and voided my warranty in the first 5 minutes.

let this a lesson for ya: don't assume everyone has the same set of abbreviations as your niche.

I've never so much as shot a gun, so no, never had an open carry.

I haven't done that in a long time.

Most recently I probably overclocked my original playstation portable.

Christ aye, the last time I had Optical Catheters was an experience I won't forget for a long time

Is it even possible to own an Orange County?

I thought about getting some OC spray but decided it wouldn't fit in my bike bag

I have a lot of original content, mostly Tom Swifty jokes here on lemmy at !tomswifty@midwest.social

I do not own any Orange Camels.

Actually yes, my wife bought 6 outdoor chairs this summer (and a matching table) but we didn’t really get the weather to use them.

I get that OC can mean lots of things, but I think most people in this thread are willfully misunderstanding you because of preconceived biases about original characters being 'childish.'

I will instead attempt to engage in good faith. Here is an original character I conceived for a Star Control D&D game I ran. Archivist Ryll (pictured at right) is an Yllk who joined the crew after they performed a mission to help him study an anomalous neutron star. He is pragmatic and cheerful, and always game to help out, but dislikes authority figures. He lost his rear legs in an accident involving IDF (interdimensional fatigue). He is shown here in the epilogue of the campaign in his capacity as archivist, assisting with the official documents as the Alliance of Free Stars signs a formal cease-fire with the VUX Admiralty after the Battle of the Sa-Matra and subsequent dissolution of the Ur-Quan Hierarchy of Battle Thralls.

Oatmeal Crackers? Sure. Very nutritious and no sugar. Kind of hard on the dental work though.

Does a sentient instance count as an OC?

Other than that, I got a few but none I can talk about everywhere.

Progress pictures for the drawing

This is Goodie! 😃 I think about him a lot. He's a mischevious little biblically accurate angel baby, so he's still learning! In my world, angels start off small and simple, and then mature into larger, more complicated forms. Goodie enjoys nothing more than stealing gems and other precious items from the demons. In this drawing, he's found a magical stopwatch that can invert time, which is useful to the angels in reversing the wrongdoings of the demons. The mini seraphs tend to find him a little annoying, but appreciate just how passionate he is at such a young age.

I'm actually thinking about drawing a picture of him except it's what he looks like as an adult. I'm not sure about giving him eyes just yet though! But he definitely could do with some wings to make him look more angel-like...

I have so many fucking OCs but I'm playing a dangerous game, I already don't do nearly enough to hide my identity on here. If anyone who knows me irl saw me talking about my iconic character [REDACTED], I'd be screwed.

But yeah I love dreaming up stories and worlds, even though I've never really completed a work of fiction 😅 but I always have new drawing ideas or scenarios to entertain myself during a slow workday, by torturing my handmade blorbo.

ETA what I will say about [REDACTED] is that he was a one-off antagonist from a comic I planned to draw, but I ended up liking him more than the main characters. I hadn't realized until that point but all my characters were pretty straightforwardly cute or silly. He's a sleazy, rowdy, unkempt man who likes to cause problems just to feel something. It was so fun to come up with ways for him to be a dick and get himself in danger that I don't think I've created a normal cute protagonist ever since.
