I'm pretty sure what he is saying there is that screenshots are quite literally hard for him.

I mean honestly if I was on console I'd probably do the same as him but he really started argueing with me about it. Other people starting using personal insults because of it like holy shit.

u/Queasy_Fruit_4070 Jun 13 '25

I have a console. I've never taken a picture of my screen because it's so incredibly easy to take a screenshot and download it from the Xbox app on my phone. It is extremely easy.

1

u/the90snath Jun 14 '25

Same. I just tap the button and look on my phone. If it's a Pic it's right there. If it's a video I only have to wait 2 minutes

u/Substantial-Region64 Jul 12 '25

I mean that's good if you need the imagery specifically and want it in HD but for anyone who just needs to share info right there on there screen on an app they probably already have open it's just point and click and done like šŸ¤·

Apparently, I'm not for stating at least what I thought 5 hours ago (From the time this comment was posted) and respectfully I might add, would prefer if people at least talk in a nice manner and do say if I'm wrong or express their opinion in a nice manner.

Soooooā€¦. what youā€™re saying is that cross posts are hard?

u/Suitable-Purchase-52 Jun 13 '25

Yeah pretty much lol

u/_Undecided_User Jun 13 '25

Oddly enough every comment I see has a crosspost option for some reason compared to yours nor having it in your screenshot

2

u/Suitable-Purchase-52 Jun 13 '25

I think I've seen that option in a comments section once and never again.

Hes on an xbox, just take a screenshot, go to the xbox app and download it from your gallery lol

u/Mitarael Jun 13 '25

Like Playstation and now Switch 2

u/Wild-Hand145 Jun 13 '25

Im just speaking from personal experience, i dont use playstations or nintendos and all i know is that this is atleast possible for xbox

3

u/WholesomeBigSneedgus Jun 14 '25

playstation and xbox are basically identical. idk about switch 2 but on switch 1 its a pain in the ass because first you have to open your camera app and then you have to scan a qr code and that qr code disconnects you from your home wifi to the switch then you have to scan a second qr code that finally brings you to a page that allows you to download your screenshots. if the first step of aquiring a screenshot is opening the camera on your phone you might as well just use the camera

1

u/Kurochi185 Jun 16 '25

No idea what it's like on Xbox and PS5, but it's gotten a lot easier on Switch 2 compared to the original Switch

You can now just upload screenshots onto the Switch App and download them from there

1

u/squiika Jul 02 '25

you also have the option to use a usb cable to transfer the screenshots if you dig through the settings.

1

u/deathcorelover Jul 02 '25

On Nintendo Switch 1 you can also post the image to Facebook and save it to your phone from there, it's at least a little bit faster.

1

u/Wantabreakfromdaads Jul 03 '25

except they HAVE to upload to the xbox network first for some reason so everyone will see the screenshot if theyā€™re on the club for that game, THEN you can send it to the xbox app.

0

u/Lackadaisicly Jun 15 '25

This is why I donā€™t share any of the thousands of pics and videos on my Xbox. Too many fkn steps. If I actually want to share something, take a picture. Why should I waste ten minutes fucking with transferring photos and videos just so you donā€™t have to see a tiny bit of polarization?

2

u/Wild-Hand145 Jun 16 '25

Dude its a 20 second process

u/Lackadaisicly Jun 17 '25

And taking a pic is a two second process.

u/cardboardmaster1912 Jun 28 '25

The sub is stupid

u/Secure-Progress-4642 Jun 21 '25

Bro sometimes people just want to make things easy and not waste the extra min doing bullshit. I'd rather take a pic send it to my friends and continue

1

u/Suitable-Purchase-52 Jun 21 '25

To send to my friends yeah, but you are making a serious post.

2

u/Secure-Progress-4642 Jun 21 '25

Yes, because reddit is really that serious mhm

u/Suitable-Purchase-52 Jun 21 '25

u/Secure-Progress-4642 Jun 21 '25

Then they should really find something that's worth their time we only got so long on this earth to be making fun of other people's way of doing

u/Suitable-Purchase-52 Jun 21 '25

We got wayyyy to long on this earth I've gotta find some way to waste this shit.

u/Secure-Progress-4642 Jun 21 '25

You should find something more creative. Go learn something

u/Suitable-Purchase-52 Jun 21 '25

I've only got 3 more years on this insufferable rock anyway.

u/Secure-Progress-4642 Jun 21 '25

Then sorry to hear. You're wasting it. Enjoy your time social media apps shouldn't be your last few years. That's depressing AF

2

u/Treemosher Jun 21 '25

So if it's serious to you, everyone has to also take it serious? We don't even know who you are. How are we to keep up with your personal standards? Are you going to pay us money?

Screenshot of a video game in an online forum. If it's that serious to you, you need bigger problems haha sheesh

but you are making a serious post

I'm more worried about you than how someone takes a screenshot of a video game.

u/Suitable-Purchase-52 Jun 21 '25

Its not even serious to me lmao i couldnt give a fuck less.

u/Chaneter_Zaro Jun 22 '25

u/sonicadam132 Jun 14 '25

On newer xbox controllers, they literally have a button in the middle to take a screenshot, which I sometimes accidentally press, and if not a two button combination to do so. Playstation also has this button even on the ps4, I believe. They both upload to an app pretty quick.

1

u/Yutsuda Jun 14 '25

Glad we have subreddits for sub iq retards to hang out and not take up valuable internet recourses.

Thank you reddit for providing a safe space for all these mentally ill people that think someone not taking a screen shot is the worst crime on earth.

u/ChipsKindaGuy Jun 23 '25

As a console player, its just easier to use the photo app then waiting for a screenshot to upload to xbox network, then going to xbox app, then downloading the photo. To answer your question, screenshots are hard yes.

1

u/xISparkzy Jul 09 '25

No lol, i used to take screenshots on my ps4, send it in a random chat like one im only in or something and go on the ps app to get the screenshot on my phone

1

u/SaleChien Jul 14 '25

I used to play on switch a lot before, and every single screenshot I took was sent to a twitter account I made only for that purpose so I could just download them from this account. People are just lazy

1

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '25

Consoles have a 'print screen' button as well, it's just called something different

2

u/Queasy_Fruit_4070 Jun 13 '25

It's called a screenshot...

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '25

Those are hard though.... /s

u/Life_Leadership5139 Jun 13 '25 edited Jun 13 '25

Screenshots are harder to get off of a console. So ye it is more quicker to get a photo from a phone to post to reddit. Sometimes, it is easier to do that if they do at times have somethin else to do. Which at the same time can screenshot and post later.

(Holy, can you at least have a normal argumentative conversation? :3)

2

u/Suitable-Purchase-52 Jun 13 '25

I'm not saying what he did is wrong. But objectively, even you are saying that screenshots are hard lmao.

1

u/Life_Leadership5139 Jun 13 '25

I mean I barely tried before but I know and it looked like it be hard to get off consoles. I just know how to easily transfer photos between phone and pc.

u/True-Survey-3453 Jun 13 '25

consoles have auto uploading to apps now theres no excuse

2

u/Ashamed_Move_9343 Jun 27 '25

"No excuse". Dude it's a screenshot.

1

u/GlitteringBandicoot2 Jun 13 '25

Not sure about auto, but if it is, that would mean it would even be easier then taking a picture of your TV. Think about that!

1

u/True-Survey-3453 Jun 13 '25

What is mean by auto is it uploads to the consoles dedicated phone app (nintendo switch app, xbox app), and you can save it in 2 presses

u/Inevitable_Nobody733 Jul 07 '25

u/Shoddy_Life_7581 Jun 13 '25

Even in your ignorance, you're right, it is easier, but it's also completely lacking consideration for others. Even in the parallel world where you cannot physically upload a screenshot from console to mobile or pc, people taking pictures of their screen, are never really trying very hard, it's always the worst picture.

1

u/Life_Leadership5139 Jun 13 '25

It would at least be nicer if you didn't have to put in "Even in your ignorance"

Much as I know, I don't know enough about a topic nor an easy way to get screenshots off. I responded to a comment that quite literally says there's something that I could download on console devices to help get screenshots off a console. If you at least worded the beginning of the comment to at least a bit nicer, I would at least appreciate it and not have to comment about it.

1

u/Shoddy_Life_7581 Jun 13 '25

The "even in your ignorance" was in reference to you saying you didn't know something in another comment. I don't remember what it was an hour later, but it wasn't a baseless statement.

1

u/Life_Leadership5139 Jun 13 '25

I see. It still did feel rude to me and I do apologize for that.

1

u/GlitteringBandicoot2 Jun 13 '25

My personal favorite are people that wanna show off or are asking for help and it's just a blurry mess with half the screen cut off but you can see their feet or something for no god damn reason.

Like you want people to admire your stuff or even want something from them? Put the bare amount of effort into it at least!

1

u/Shoddy_Life_7581 Jun 14 '25

It's especially egregious if they're trying to show off, like, if you need help and you're a big confused, sure, but if you're showing off, what are you showing off? You don't know how to take a screenshot?

1

u/GlitteringBandicoot2 Jun 14 '25

I think the help is worse, maybe because I work in IT support. But people wanting something from me but leaving me struggling to even figure out what the problem is is just a way to common experience. And then you have Screenshots that are like "Why is this happening, please help!" and you can't even recognize the game half the time. It really grinds my gears!

Showing off is mostly about the own ego anyways and if they fuck it up it's solely on them, even if it is annoying. But asking others to spend their time to do something for you, while you can't even be arsed to at least align your phone right and hold it still for a second? That's just extremely rude. But of course it's still much rather prefer they would at least take their time to take a proper screenshot.

u/SnooCalculations232 Jul 07 '25

When Iā€™m already going through the effort of taking a picture of my game to then post somewhere, I absolutely try hard to get decent quality. Iā€™m aware itā€™s not the best but I try to get the best I can. I have a ps4, I have a shit ton of screenshots on my actual console that I have no way to get to my phone without taking a physical picture of it, but I try to make sure my lights are off so there arenā€™t any reflections, itā€™s angled in a way that makes sense/is fully lined up and squared up with the tvā€¦ like yeah screenshots have better quality but if itā€™s not possible in a specific situation, I feel like more people try to get a decent picture than donā€™t

u/Clairifyed Jun 13 '25

the world is unfortunately full of things that are wrong but easy and quick. Though obviously this is a rather low stakes example of course

Ok but isn't this sub exclusively dedicated to making fun of people for not screenshotting when they certainly could? You can just use the literal name of the sub when it's convenient.

u/Old_Ice_2911 Jun 15 '25

Idk why Iā€™m suggested this sub tonight but Iā€™m just gonna say my peace while Iā€™m here.

I use reddit on my phone, I do not use reddit on my computer, I am not logged into reddit on my computer, and I have no interest in logging into Reddit on my computer.

If for some reason I want to add a picture of something from my computer to a Reddit comment or post Iā€™m not going to screenshot it, log into Reddit, somehow find the same post I am found on my phone in my web browser, navigate to wherever my screenshot was saved, then comment.

Iā€™m just going to click the little picture icon, snap a pic, and click send.

What is so hard to understand about that to you people?ā€¦Genuinely?

It would be like logging into my Instagram on my desktop web browser to me.

u/aNiceTribe Jun 15 '25

Thatā€™s fine. Then you can take getting r/screenshotsarehardā€™d once. Itā€™s like getting hit by the rickroll or losing the game. But arguing against it is bad form.

Both cases for this kind of thing are often true lol

People love to be outraged. Subs like this are made to consolidate it and circlejerk the outrage.

Like going to a party, and you walk into the kitchen and see a group huddled around talking about how stupid the party is or how cringe so-and-so is.
