The Screenshot Thread

Yes! The Rimworld posts have made the move here! I look forward to some more.

A couple from the early stages of Control from me:

Gosh I love Mad Max, and I also remember that its photo mode was so widely used that it seemed to have just kickstarted a lot of photo modes in other games as well.

Really like Nvidia's Ansel for screenshots. Shame it's not used by many games

Rimworld



The goal of my current playthrough is to wipe every pirate base off the map. I started with 19, now there are only 3 left, up in the northern tundra. My base is down in the south-east so it's going to be a long trek and lots of preparation to get there. I spent a season breeding guinea pigs to make warm clothes (their fur has the best heat insulation), tamed a herd of bison as pack animals because I'm worried my horses will freeze to death, and I'm bringing my two royal pawns so they can call in shuttles if things go really south. Probably overkill, but I'm sending my best and don't want to lose them to something as stupid as cold weather.



A typical pirate base: A couple of turrets and about 20 enemy pawns. Sometimes they have a mortar forcing you to rush in and neutralise it before they can start shelling you.

Destroying the pirate bases isn't a big issue, it's mostly the long journeys and leaving your home base with only a skeleton crew of defenders that's dangerous. My strike team is just 6 people, so they're always outnumbered, but between their excellent gear, bionic upgrades and psypowers they're essentially wizard terminators at this point. They could probably take on a hundred enemies without breaking a sweat.



Once the enemies are cleared out and the turrets disabled we claim the whole base, set up a hoopstone ring for recreation and make a stockpile zone in the kitchen where we drag in all the corpses. Our chef, Baud, spends the evening butchering them up and cooking some yummy human meals. They don't last long on the road without refrigeration so it's not worth cooking all of them, but human leather is valuable so we butcher them all up anyway.



The next morning before packing it all up and leaving I have Hertz set fire to the crops and piles of corpse-tainted clothes. She's a pyromaniac so she loves throwing molotovs around. There's no real gameplay reason for this, it just seems appropriate.



When you attack a base they call for reinforcements, but they take 4 days to arrive. By that time we're long gone and all they'll find are burnt fields, ruins, and leftover piles of human meat.



Back in my base Crouca still reigns supreme in my gladiatorial arena with 16 victories under her belt. This last one kinda went a little far though. Poor Parrot got both her eyes cut out, and lost an ear. Parrot wasn't even a raider that came to attack us. She'd done nothing to deserve this. Her tribe set up a work camp close to us and *we* raided *them*, and carried her off with us after we'd killed (and later ate) all her friends. I hadn't even looked at her profile before; she's a 59 year old healer with no combat skills and severe asthma. I kidnapped and imprisoned her and made her fight in a death match she never had any chance of winning. She survived and my rules say she'd earned her freedom but I couldn't let her go like this.


I made her two new bionic eyes and an ear, transplanted two new lungs to cure her asthma and shoved her in a biosculpting pod for a week to fix her scarred foot and regrow a finger before releasing her. All better now. Better than when you arrived even. Just don't ask where I got a pair of spare lungs.



Here's my freezer room after a raid on our base. A lot of corn, some elephants and thrumbos, and er, 88 human corpses. I'm very careful about not letting visiting guests anywhere near my freezer.

If it seems like something you'd enjoy I heartily recommend it. There's a bit of a learning curve when you start out (especially with the DLCs) and it's a game where you often have to set your own goals and find your own fun, but there's nothing else quite like it and it's much more approachable than Dwarf Fortress. It also has a very healthy modding scene, so plenty of room to tinker with it if you're into that.

I too enjoy the rimworld updates. Shame it's not on console.

Ah, okay. In DF you had to dispose of corpses in special rooms, because if they were not in the open, they would produce a cloud of miasma, which gave everyone passing through it very negative thoughts. I usually made a 1 tile dump with a hole in the bottom covered by a hatch that was linked to a lever, so that I could empty it into a pit below it, which was then closed off by the hatch and thus trapped the miasma cloud inside.

But yeah, since z-levels don't seem to exist in Rimworld, that wouldn't be possible anyway.

In a recent playthrough my colony, The Skin Bandits, had human leather cowboy hats and dusters, was a lot of fun until Randy Random ended it all :/

Ir's hard to believe some of those pics are from just a videogame.

Cheers crash! GoT really had such stunning visuals and the best photo mode of any Sony first party game, so it was hard not to get a bit obsessed about capturing a screenshot every few minutes of gameplay 😀.
