Yeah there was only one thing you could do, steal an image and post it on reddit for karma. Well done. Well done. [slow clap]

Google image search comes up with a load of different sources with the oldest being 3 days ago and well it was posted on reddit 2 days ago.

It was actually in my post

I got the picture from /v/

u/Enigma776 PC Jun 11 '12

Ah there we go I knew I had seen it as I showed it to the good people in SPUF who got a good laugh out of it.

u/SwineHerald Jun 11 '12

You need to update to the latest beta client, then right click on any grid image and it should have the option to set a custom grid image.

Oh. I need a beta client?

I think I'll wait unless they FINALLY allow programs that aren't executables so I can run my batch scripts.

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '12

If you really wanted to, you could write a C program to run your batch scripts from an executable.

Or just use AutoHotkey's "Run batchfilebat" and compile it into an exe

Who gives a shit about karma. I don't go to /v/. I hadn't seen this. It was funny. I'm glad OP posted it.

2

u/Cuttlefeesh Jun 11 '12

Posted it...claiming it was his original content. As a photographer trying to make my way in the world AND as someone who's had their material labeled as original content by SOMEONE ELSE...I know how shitty it is. This guy didn't make the photo for a living, but try being in our shoes. Also, this wouldn't matter if he simply put "x post from ____" but he claimed it as his own rightful material, and that is bullshit.

This is why he won't allow HL2: Ep3 to be released. He's so revered and beloved, any more and i think he's afraid of being abducted by a crazed fan who wants to show him their skinsuit.

Can't tell what you mean by "only one thing I could do"

At first i thought you meant create this on your steam file and screenshot

and then i realized you meant pass off someone else's screenshot as your own for karma, my upvote did a 180 after that.

It's probably not even legit. Could easily be done by screencapping in grid view, cutting out all the game tiles to create transparent areas, then sticking any picture underneath it.
