    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.

    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 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.

        OC spray, aka ‘oleoresin capsicum spray’, aka pepper spray. People often get it for self defense against humans or bears. The bear version tends to be a much larger and stronger bottle.

      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.

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

    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…

    Here are some examples of OCs I created:

    I’m an artist who creates original characters with my very own art blog, and these were made on Apple Freeform recently that you can find here:

    You can find the hashtag for Apple Freeform to locate all of these drawings and many more.

    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.

      At least you’ll have more time to work on original characters then. Which you do have, right?
