ok so I’ve thought of another way to waste my time
I’m fairly certain I developed over the years a crippling addiction to taking organizing and reminiscing about screenshots I take in games
I think the first time I got bitten by this wonderful bug was when I found out you could let steam take screenshots in a specific directory of your choosing (and for some reason it’s still not PNG by default afaik🫠) and figured out it’s very easy to group them by the appid being at the start of the file names and made too many “systems” to handle them (because why use something that already exists when you don’t have a job to make money with right?)
nowadays I’m still very much enthralled by the screenshotting demons although I have largely stopped using my PC for games (apart from that One Game) and instead mostly play on my switch, meaning I every day thank the nintendo overlords for adding the USB screenshot copy thingy to the switch as I cannot be bothered to take the sd card out and do the whole procedure of powering it off, doing the copy blablabla just no.
unfortunately this makes my job more annoying as I nowadays have mostly adapted my picture handling to using Immich and thus need to tackle this last little bit of a pickle, because for some reason nobody in the console space has ever thought about using EXIF tags in their pictures to say, somehow, what game it’s in the screenshot. very. infuriating.
so now, because of course I can’t rest easy like this, J have to make my own new set of scripts to produce an XMP sidecar (so it’s more xml. good lord.) as I need to not tamper with the original files to not make my importing process painful while still keeping the raw files on disk, based off of the stupid little folder they’re in.
