3 months ago Good read, although it could use a little reformatting, by using headings such as: "Playing for years", "The game's current state", "Forums' closings", "Experimenting with the archaic", "Experiment's findings and consequences", and "Finding a fix".
Splitting up the blog into such talking points, could make its sections more focused and approachable, (especially for skim readers), as well as making it easier to write!
How researching TrackMania United Forever got my account bricked | BulbToys
My love for TrackMania stems all the way back to the late 2000s and early 2010s, when my uncle bought me this little old game called TrackMania Sunrise for new years. As my second or third ever racing game (after Need for Speed: Carbon and Undercover), I instantly fell in love with it, especially its unique Stunts mode which eventually made its way to TMUF, as well as the unforunately long forgotten Crazy mode (that I’ve been meaning to make a documentary about for the longest time, with a bunch of drafted scripts now collecting dust for years lol). Here’s a screenshot of me playing on an online server 14 years ago:
