because the trade off between quality and bandwidth usage is worth while. there isn't a bandwidth issue w/ game content.

1) push print screen button
2) hunt down and open ms paint
3) find where they buried edit>paste in the new shitmenu format
4) paste
5) save
6) go back and reopen paint and repaste and resave because for some goddamn reason it did it as a jpg the first time
7) dig for wherever the hell "documents > photos > library of photos > paint photos" or wherever it put it is

hit print screen. paste it wherever. if its mspaint you just type mspaint and then paste and save. you are making up steps that you don't have to do. either because you're an idiot or because you're trying to make it look harder than it is.

*crouching behind baobob on african veldt, peers through binoculars* I've done it. After years of painstaking research and endless searching, I have finally hunted down ms paint.

there should be a setting to save directly to disk

(i use greenshot for my literally professional screenshotting needs because the built-in windows functionality doesn't cut it.)

the snipping tool is a good example of microsoft not getting it
