This is basically a redo of my last upload, but better quality and done faster. Sarah's AI got confused yet again -- what a surprise! Almost seems better to leave her at Constellation HQ. Anywho, this will likely be my last NG+ run upload for a while as I don't think I can trim off any significant amounts of time -- but perhaps there's a skip somewhere that would vastly improve my speed in which case, please leave a comment and let me know!
As for my last ~55 minute run upload, the audio was so bad toward the end I decided its best to make it unlisted. I want my channel to show case the highest quality content that I can produce and last video doesn't make the cut. Linked below for your viewing pleasure:

Also as a related sidenote -- with a couple exceptions, most of my newer KZfaq videos are processed through Blender for the purposes of video trimming, adding effects, and adding text where applicable. Blender is a great program that I highly recommend as its so versatile for so many different applications, and while it looks intimidating at first, after a few edits it feels very easy to use. Best of all -- it's completely free! Link below:

That said, the last few months I've had issues with Blender crashing (including bluescreens) which is why I had been uploading less frequently as I was unable to render long format video. As it turns out, Intel 13th generation processors, such as my 13900K, have some strange issues that results in crashes during heavy loads (e.g. rendering). I read its related to the memory controller but not sure. I've RMA'd this processor once already and could maybe fix by RMAing again but this gaming machine is also my work machine. I can't -- and honestly don't have the patience -- to wait another week for Intel to fix / swap a buggy processor yet again. I'll consider it my penance for preordering a new CPU. For now I've adjusted my bios settings such that my Turbo Boost Power Max is 220W and Turbo Boost Short Power Max is 253W (on an air cooler you'd likely want to go lower with Turbo Boost Power Max = 153W; these also may be labeled as TDP1/TDP2 and/or PL1/PL2 respectively depending on your manufacturer). That in combination with Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to reduce P-core ratio to 44x and E-core ratio to 40x seems to have completely fixed my problem. Your results will vary system to system, but hope this helps. It dropped my processor from constantly thermally throttling at 100C down to an average of 80C under heavy load. I've seen a lot of bug threads on both Intel and Blender forums about this exact issue so figured I'd say my bit here -- thanks for reading!
(Edit: Intel released a statement which seems to help solidify some info that's been floating around. Follow the specifications they list for your 12th / 13th gen processor and make sure your BIOS is up to date: community.inte... )
