Alright, finally getting my submission in. Not the most technically advanced game these days, but one of the top game experiences I've ever had, and on elf the games that you can easily use in the "games as art" debate IMO. Tried to capture the feeling of melancholy and loneliness present in the game, while also getting some of the scale seen in the architecture.

My favorite game ever. Was thinking to install the game just to take some pics for the competition (had the bridge with the waterfall in the background in mind, right path of the castle when facing it).

I took like 100 pics of the game and picked the one I thought I liked the most. I'm not sure I really did because it's so hard to pick "the best" when this entire game is like a work of art.

I asked my wife pick my entry, she picked one that looks like Star Wars according to her. 🤷‍♀️

Forgive the old pic but it's the best I had to hand.

Now this is beautiful. I call it 'Batonga Batonga Batonga'. 60 people and a couple of dogs died to bring you this dynamic screenshot. Note the lovely details like the guy in solitary using the head. Second pic is only for wider context.

I'll take the prize in small unmarked bills.

The staff unhappy bit, it kinda reminds me of the private mod section.

They are always bitching about me.

It's a jealously thing, my flowing red looks, my smoldering eye, just look at my avatar, perfection personified.

Talking about Star wars, you could ask your wife if the picture above is the Millenium Falcon, if i squint slightly it kinda does look like it,

I like your fighter plane screenshot, but stop trying to cash in on Top gun, you Tom cruise wannabe.(aka Short arse)

I’ve made so many good screenshots this month. But the choice is mortifying.
I can’t choose. I have good 4-5 games from this year too 15 years ago and not only that but I’ve made a rule for myself to maybe only use one of the screenshots taken this month…. Ooof

Can't believe I actually managed to make a placement.

Maybe it will make me take pics more frequently.
