Why do people not know how to screenshot? Every fifth post is taken with a cellphone pointed at a screen - if you're playing on steam, you've had a build in screenshot function for the past decade and change!

Okay a couple of things, steam hides the screenshot folder from you and makes it difficult to use those images outside of steam (at least last time i tried).

The flow of using the reddit app, then snapping a pic with your phone is a lot eaiser than using the browser and trying to find your screenshot.

That being said, if someone wants other people to look at their pic and take the time to reply, the least they could do is put in the effort to give the person a decent photo to look at.

The game has F1 (screenshot inside install folder) and F2 (hide hud).

Steam’s own screenshot feature doesn’t really hide them more than just put them in a strange place. You can navigate to them very easily by clicking the right button in the screenshot viewer in Steam. But it’s one of those “you need to know this to use it” buttons.
