For whatever reason I’ve had major network issues on my end (fucking AT&T man). I’d have to assume it’s on my end because as far as I’ve heard there was no major outage, but I did get today’s out even if it’s a bit late. Today’s game is Max Payne. I wanted to play this January, since I assume December/January was when this takes place.
I went ahead and left it at its natural resolution out of laziness but to be honest, I might leave it like this. It doesn’t look bad at all and it helps mask the harsh jagged edges I’d see at 4k.
I also went ahead and installed the adaptive difficulty fix, and it makes a world of difference. For people who don’t know, the PC version is bugged and the enemies after a bit will cap out at the hardest difficulty values because it doesn’t account for death like it’s supposed to.
I’m keeping today a bit short because I already wasted enough time trying to get this actually posted, but I went all the way to the hotel before stopping.
With the fix I installed I was mowing through enemies like a lawn mower, it was a good feeling after already being exhausted by that level the last time I played
It makes the game far more enjoyable so I’d suggest it for anyone wanting to play (unless you want the adaptive difficulty of course)
Just wanted to say I look forward to these posts even tho I don’t give a fig about gaming. Proud of you for forming a daily habit involving something you love
I’m a college student with a lot of free time. My only two hobbies are Programming, Photos, and Gaming. Programming I’m already doing in my class, so i usually spend my free time just taking photos in video games (and playing them obviously)

It’s definitely one of the most persistent habits I’ve ever formed. At this point it’s like brushing my teeth or showering. I just can’t forget too.
Haha, that’s awesome! That’s kinda how meditating has become for me, my day feels weird if I don’t do it
Why did you play Max Payne 2 before 1? This doesn’t sit right with me! 😀
I played 1 before 2 on my first playthrough. Now I do it based on seasonal lineup lol. I know 2 is sometime in the fall while the first is Late winter
Heh, an interesting way to play them.

mirrors are more fun than television!
Hell yeah, much love for Remedy
How do you find the time and motivation to game everyday?
