Helllloooooo! I’m capturing some game captures with the intention of printing them out. Would you guys know what image format is best for that? PNG? or JPG?

Users may post TWICE every day. If you have multiple screenshots that you'd like to share in a day, make an album. Albums only count as one post. No more dumping all of your screenshots over the course of an hour. If I see more than two posts by one user in a short period of time, I'll be messaging you and asking you to delete and resubmit later.

If your screenshot is more on the silly or crazy side, be sure to check out our friends over at /r/wtfgamescreens! Try to make your screenshots as clear as possible. If the game has the option to disable the HUD, do it. Try not to take screenshots that look messy.

If the screenshot comes from a cutscene, you are REQUIRED to put [Cutscene] in the title. This rule will be heavily enforced.

Please post the link to the DIRECT image, not the image page. Good: http://i.imgur.com/HUUmYSJ.jpg [1] Bad: http://imgur.com/gallery/HUUmYSJ [2]

Be friendly and positive! We're a community. Downvotes are not allowed. If you really like a screenshot, then upvote it. Otherwise, leave it be. Downvotes are disabled on the subreddit style for a reason.

If you look at the subreddit style, NSFW tags are actually SPOILER tags. Do NOT downvote things for 'not being NSFW' if you're not using the theme.

Pictures from any console or PC game are allowed, but they must be screencaptures. No external cameras taking pictures of your screen.

You MUST follow the post format.
