It's not that one more click per shot will kill me, it's the obscene awareness that THERE IS A WAY, but I can't remember, nor will I resign to suffer, even slightly, on principle.

I think this is why people need REAL REST because I've been at my wit's fucking end since September. Bout to melt down.

I'm also NOT INTERESTED in copy/paste; I need to SAVE AN IMAGE on its own.

It really doesn't help that the standard method (win+alt+prntscrn) does absolutely nothing on my particular system.

I swear the combo before was win + shift/alt + some letter key; didn't involve Snipping Tool at all.

This turns out to be a really finicky issue to web search, because you get a hundred hits that all offer the same methods, NONE OF WHICH ARE THE ONE I WANT.

And IDK when this happened, but apparently google no longer allows Boolean operators like "-omit" to function. asd;kfjasd;kja

There's a way to do this. I've done it before. But every time I go to do it again, I've forgotten, and this insane quest ensues.

The method I'd used employs Game Bar, but NOT by pulling up the overlay or clicking—it's ONE HOTKEY; resulting image goes straight to Captures w window title as filename.

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I’ve been doing. The eternal shame spiral of ADHD just makes it feel like my entire existence is a cycle of “thank you / I’m sorry / we’ll improve next time” so I gotta check myself once in a while.

Thanks, that’s super reassuring, and you’re wonderful!

Oh, no—this is great, but the title reminds me of applicable Kanye lyrics, yikes!

Anyone have an earlier example to cite?
What do we officially call this game mechanic, anyway?

Yikes?

Oh, interesting! An ad he fantasized had been written lol

We could just like…measure each garment. Print the measurements. Call it a day.

But, no. Noooo. That’s no recipe for maximum throughput, how dare we.

Vanity sizing and arbitrary numbered sizing are both ridiculous. Even men’s 31” jeans are typically like 32-33” but it’s consistent across brands, so nobody notices until they get measured, if they ever do, or if they order from one of the few brands that doesn’t play the stupid game.

Oh, the piña colada song, of course

Ugh, boomer moment: thought I shot a slick vid until I hit the shutter and noticed I had not been recording the whole time 😭😂

Is…is this where, “We’re on a mission from God.” came from?

Is this…reverse gentrification?
