In rules in the same line about 2 shots per post:
If i did it wrong, then fine, i'll remove my post entirely.

what you added aren't thumbnails though 
They're the full picture, just downsized in the browser. That will put a serious hit on people who browse this thread on mobile: they have to pull the complete shot. So please do as everyone else: post 2 shots per post, then no need to quote them. No need to remove the post, just keep 2 shots in the post, post the rest later on

Oh yeah, another one: please no jpeg format, eventhough your compression is really low

Welcome aboard!
JPG's are fine, if you know what you're doing... There is a handy guide in the OP that explains how to resize/convert images using FastStone Image Viewer.Oh yeah, another one: please no jpeg format, eventhough your compression is really low
Then the OP is at odds with itself:
- Compression: Don't compress your screens or use a host that compresses them (Steam, Imgur).
If done correctly, the compression is not noticeable to the human eye as stated within the link from the first page. There are also comparison shots.
There really is no need for PNG's if done right.
Guys, PNG's are compressed as well. DEFLATE is what it's called. You can further use other algorithms (PNGcrush, Paeth, whatever). At times a lossless compression PNG can be smaller than a 100 percent jpeg. There's no single optimal way to make sure your files aren't bigger than they need to be. (I'm no expert on these matters by far, mind. Please correct me if talking out of the ass.)
They're aren't as compressed as JPGs though.

I've brought this up before. Basically it seems the point is to let people know anything with apparent visual compression artifacts is a no-no, seeing as Steam applies lossy compression to uploads (and downscales 1080p+ uploads afaik), and Imgur too for images over a certain filesize (despite their FAQ, though depending on the image it can be imperceptible). Though it could just say that. *Shrug*
I suppose it would be more accurate to say 'don't post screens with compression artifacts or use a host that heavily compresses them (Steam, Imgur)' or something along those lines.
Anyways, the jpg compression guide is in the OP as well, and generally speaking ~98% jpg (not 100%
) is significantly smaller than a png and indistinguishable from lossless in most situations.

They really need to upgrade that engine.

Imgur can have lossless uploads.

According to their current FAQ any non-animated images over 1MB for anonymous uploads and 5MB for registered users are lossily compressed (apart from lossless optimizations like the removal of metadata/etc). So for registered users it's probably fine for the most part. For large PNGs I'm not sure how it's handled, potentially so long as you keep below the 20MB non-animated upload limit it may be lossless.
Someone said they didn't believe there was any compression of JPEGs on Imgur a couple weeks ago and uploaded two JPEG screenshots, one on Abload the other on Imgur. I did a difference comparison in Photoshop and they weren't identical (as per the FAQ suggests), though the compression in that case was barely perceptible. They've become a lot better than what it used to be.

Really liking those shots Lime.
I just replayed a couple years ago, but man do i have a Mass Effect-sized hole in my heart where Andromeda was supposed to go, and it's really making me want to replay the trilogy.
It's really impressive what the texture packs do to make the game look "modern"

These are nice.
