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.

How the actual fuck did you expect people to know that? 😂

When someone in the artist community says OC, it always means that, and nobody ever actually spells it out. So my thinking was, if there were as many artists on here as I thought there would be, someone might have one they could talk about.

Should I not assume people won’t think USA stands for Uncle Sam Association?

I mean “EU” is spanish for “USA” (Estados Unidos) and it’s a bit disorienting to me when I read the news in my native language as I always read it as “European Union”

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

I don’t normally open carry, though to do regularly concealed carry. Have been told by others a few times they were happy I was carrying, made them feel better when we happened to get into a seedy area. Luckily nothing came of it, and hopefully it stays that way forever.

I haven’t done that in a long time.

Most recently I probably overclocked my original playstation portable.

That just raises further questions.

It’s a term in the artist community to refer to characters that are standalone, as in they aren’t from a particular work of fiction, which are in turn stereotypically (but not always) used for purposes of roleplaying.
