  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Oh this takes me back. Early 2000s, a pre-holiday release of one of the Gears of War - I forget which, and then: Christmas Morning.

Thousands of people having just opened the game immediately jumping into multiplayer and getting absolutely massacred. What an amazing Christmas present.

Now I'm the fodder, on a good day.

Playing marvel rivals is this for me. I just fixed my nephew's PC for him. To test for overheating I opened up his account to run a dozen games. His MMR is so high I'm getting disinfected like a pesky germ. I ruined his KDA, but at least he's not complaining because he can still rely on me for tech support.
