Is it only me?

If you think flying through space is thrilling, imagine how thrilling it is to forget to save for the past half an hour and see that load symbol slowly start to freeze because you walked into a shop.... ...

Adding a pic of the merch I got today at least.

There is debugging software that can limit the amount of CPU time a program gets, delay I/O completion, or limit memory that a program can access, designed to stress-test software as it gets near resource limits. Well, there is in Linux, and I'm sure that someone makes equivalent software for Windows. Dunno about failing requests for video memory, but that probably exists too.

I imagine that it'd be possible to run Starfield under them and see whether, on a given system, the frequency of stability issues increases.
