Topic: WE HAVE A WINNER - The 2021 Screenshot of the Year Competition

@Sorteddan Just wanted to thank you for your comment on the front page story about this competition, buddy. It was real kind of you to say!

R&C was my GOTY this year, you can tell from the amount of pictures I took. There were so many I could've picked but these four were my absolute favourites.

@RogerRoger
All good mate.
I imagine it takes time, effort and most importantly commitment to run and organise things like this. Hopefully the article will direct a bunch of newcomers to the forum sections.
If so then they should know that you are the resident good guy and one of the contributors who help make this place what it is.

And it's a shame but I literally never use photo features in games, unless a trophy requirement makes me do so!

They're all brilliant.

I have so many good pictures, but bit lazy to get them from ps5 to usb and then from usb to here.

Great competition and incredible organisation as always. More than happy to submit a few of my own shots this year (9GB of my PS5 SSD is shares!).

I can't figure out what I did wrong. I followed the steps, but the pictures won't load! Any help from the mods would be appreciated!

@amersga make sure to use brackets '' [ '' instead of parenthesis . If you uploaded the pictures to an image sharing site , you have to open the picture in a new tab , i.e. get the exact direct link of the picture .

OR

just edit your current post , by putting '' .jpeg '' at the end of each pictures link .

[ img ] directpictureurl .jpeg [ /img ] (no spaces though)

@nomither6 thanks for the help! I had the brackets in there, so that was good. I tried the .jpeg extension but still no dice! :-/

@amersga Try uploading to imgbb instead. No account needed and you can set the images to autodelete if you want.

Personally, I have a throwaway Twitter account just for uploading screenshots but I know not everyone wants an account.

@Thrillho Thanks for your advice. I ended up going with another image uploading site and it worked. Must have been something with the other one(?). Anyways, thanks again!

@Sorteddan Thank you, that's real generous of you to say! This feels like a disproportionate reply, but what you wrote means a bunch, and really made me smile. I'm just trying to live up to the legacy left by @themcnoisy who was a freakin' hero when it came to forum polls and contests.

***

@Bamila No pressure but, if the ol' USB shuffle is a bit much, you can always send me your screenshots in a PSN message, and I'll get 'em posted on here before the deadline.

***

@amersga Yeah, I'm being prompted to sign in to Amazon to see your shots. I didn't even know Amazon provided an image-hosting service! If you're not comfortable using ImgBB or any of the other free alternatives, I'll repeat the "please send them to my PSN account" advice given above. I'm sorry for all this trouble, and am grateful for your repeated attempts!

@amersga Oh, I can see them now! Never mind, then!

Thanks for playing, and to @nomither6 and @Thrillho for helping you out back there!

@RogerRoger Yeah, lesson learned there (went with another free image-hosting service). Thanks!

Posting on behalf of @themcnoisy here.

Hey @kyleforrester87 @BAMozzy @frigate @star-lord @leuitenantfatman @kyroki fancy posting your screenshots lads? We need you!

Would love to but I don't see the point in taking screenshots in games I play. I write that after checking out all of these and seeing how good they look! Also, I loved taking screenshots in Mario Odyssey! So maybe I should get into it :')

Also, I have only really been playing Pillars of Eternity 2, Diablo 2 and Neir Replicant this year.

Keep the great entries coming though.

Great! I love the screenshot of the year contest. Some amazing shots have been uploaded so far, this time of the year is an awesome opportunity to hoard some great wallpapers! XD
Before I start writing an essay, allow me to upload some of mine, haha.

Sorry if this year's shots aren't as good as last year, I spent this year practically replaying my favorite games all over again lol. There was a shortage of 2021 screenshots. Thanks for tagging me for this year too, by the way. Can never thank the judges enough for the sheer effort they put into organizing this every year. You guys are doing god's work out here.
Thank you.
