I suppose I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced problems like this with an overclocked CPU in other resource-intensive situations? Everything I can find seems to suggest that CPU overclock problems are usually limited to hardlocks, gameplay stuttering, overheating, or inability to POST, all of which I thought I'd satisfactorily tested for with my 3.6GHz configuration.

Discovered last night that The Crew 2 (which Phen and I have otherwise been enjoying) has an endless-loading glitch that only happens when my CPU is overclocked (from 3.0 to 3.6GHz). I tried a variety of voltage configurations, but as far as I can tell, some part of the way the game caches world geometry is tuned for stock speeds only.

(I'm not particularly a fan of the KH series, nor Disney itself, but I have nostalgia for 1 and 2 and am very interested in trying to make sense of its awkwardness as both a game series and a multi-part story)

I stopped by Retro Game Trader today to accompany Phen in trading in their old Pokemon carts; the shop had Kingdom Hearts 2.5 on PS3 for $8, so I grabbed it and received a free Faith No More CD from their bonus (presumably the "these came in boxes of games traded in by uncaring parents") pile. Excellent store; would shop again

Quantic Dream could make a really, really good police-procedural Telltale game if Cage kept his ambitions, misogyny, and racism in check

Similarly audacious: "I'm going to write a story that mirrors the American Civil Rights movement!" -> "Which requires me to create a protagonist who becomes leader to that movement!" -> "This protagonist struts in and tells them how to operate!" -> "I'll show off the obvious 'right' and 'wrong' paths to equality..." -> "...and write speeches to be delivered using the voice and likeness of a black actor!" Both the producer and the lead writer are white

Phen and I finished watching the Best Friends LP of this. Pretty resentful of the Holocaust imagery in one of the optional late-game segments. After credits, the game has the audacity to ask the you if you were emotionally moved by scenes in it. I mean, yeah, sure, by aesthetically looting unspeakably tragic and inhumane actions that happened in actual history for this robot game, said game is now successful at making me feel sad, congratulations
