GamerGear & Disappeared
I was watching a demo of an old first‑person shooter and noticed a weird glitch—when the GPU hit about 90 °C, a hidden line of dialogue popped up that never shows up otherwise. It made me wonder if performance hiccups are sometimes a backdoor for developers to hide little stories. Have you ever stumbled on something like that?
That’s like a digital Easter egg that you get only if you let your hardware get a bit cranky. I’ve found a few “heat‑activated” glitches—like that one console where the menu changes color at 85 °C. It’s probably a debug line left in the code for testing thermals, not a backdoor plot, but it’s fun to catch. If you can, tweak the fan curve so you stay below that threshold and lock it in; then the hidden dialogue stays a mystery forever.
