Turns out my computer remained operational beyond 4000 degrees Kelvin 🤔 Turning my PC into a space heater was worth it for this tho

Ran into some encoder overload one time, so I did what any reasonable person would do 🙃 Pretty stoked about this (so much that I installed all of this) - jumping from a 3070 is still pretty sizeable (especially with my 1440p monitor) Now I'm set 😄

Hmm... I think I might be due for an extra drive (and it doesn't even have all of the VODs 💀) I'm processing most of these to upload them to YouTube this year, will be releasing batches of them progressively - there's like 4-5 years worth of matches in there !

I got fiber since yesterday ! Seeing these kinds of speeds is still kinda wild to me, considering until just a few days ago, it was either using LTE/5G (which I did) or resort to 8Mbps DSL 😂 Credit where credit's due : LTE/5G carried me for the last 5 years. But fiber just hits different 😲

The score attack bug bit me on C-Smash VRS - and now I got a WR off-stream, apparently 🤷‍♂️ (Non-racing game WR at that) Jokes aside, this game is arguably one of my faverite score attack games atm. Expect to see it more on stream ! First Sub 12-sec run aswell, LEGGO #TOTHELINE

After years of players getting "alphabetically sniped" in tied rounds, the latest #Trackmania update is finally overhauling it's tie-breaker logic, looking at who was ahead in the previous checkpoint - as it should have been from the start... Better late than never, I guess ! 😅 THE MEME HAS ENDED

Patch note from Trackmania's latest update, deployed on December 17th 2024.

"Improved ranking of tied players at the end of a round: sorted by race time, then previous checkpoint times, then points, then name."

Post a *perfect* album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains.

Latest TMMH release is currently my main. Gorgeous to look at - and might be my ticket to get Champ Medal #3 😛 Skin by Aqlx. Avaliable on the TMMH (Trackmania Motorsport Heritage) club !

Finally came back from a rather crazy Trackmania World Cup that I commentated on yesterday. Arguably one of my best performances to date on comes, and I even had a go at introducing none other than the GOAT CarlJr. in the grand final. Still got a way to go on execution, but still happy with this 😄

Currently on the way to this year's Paris Games Week, to commentate the Trackmania World Cup tomorrow - in my native French, in front of a live audience on stage. Arguably one of the most important days of my career, gonna give it my all. Rendez-vous à Paris 🫡 #TMWC #TOTHELINE

One last #XPEvo clip : End of day 2, @PacTM2 on the verge of making Day 3. Tried to integrate a different reference than what I'm used to, and I think I stuck it OK 😅 Time to prep for #TMWC24 now, let's finish the year on a high note 👊 #TOTHELINE

Continuing the 2024 #XPEvo dig, here's what it sounds like when things get heated on the racetrack. When all 4 are almost within the same shot on the last sector, you know it's gonna be good ! Sometimes, being a natural "motormouth" comes in handy, although slippage may occur (working on it, tho !)

Going through some of last weekend's #XPEvo matches, here's one of the more "calm" round commentaries I've done w/ Legion2k during the Consolidation Final. Digging through VODs is always cool to spot what you've done right or wrong. Expect more to come in a few days, as I prepare for the TMWC !
