    I added a couple of non-suggested themes used in previous contest, just to keep track and maybe reuse them in the future

Theme idea: I can do that!

Let your toxic trait speak, and show a screenshot of something cool that made you think "I can totally do that, too!"

  • For comedic purposes, you have the worlds hardest parcore course and say, "I can do that!"

  • I had a shortcut for looking if someone already said chickens. I did a word search in my browser, and quickly scanned the page for the word "chicken". Hooray for me I guess.

    Well, my wife left me today. The last thing she said to me was: “What’s more important, the Cuccos or me?!” I chose the Cuccos. — The Bow Master, Journal of Various Worries, BotW

Theme Idea: On the Edge of the Cliff

Imagine your favorite hero, standing over a cliff (or hanging on it to make suspense) over looking anything, looking cool... (or bad if it adds a bit of intensity to your image)

Theme Idea: Memorable Logos

When launching games, usually a few logos will display for the game developers/publishers. Occasionally, developers have some fun with them. Like this:

Theme Idea: Instant Regrets

    So... "8-bit/16-bit" is the theme? Aren't all video games coloured squares?
    – Joachim
    Commented Feb 8 at 18:38
  • I would ask if Minecraft counts due to the textures being blocky like a 16-bit game, but Minecraft is a higher bit rate game, wouldn't it?

Theme idea: Mascots Interacting

This would be screenshots of two video game mascots from different franchises interacting with each other in some way. For example you could have Mario beating Sonic in a race in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Sora fighting Donkey Kong in Super Smash Bros, the Assassins Creed Easter egg in Witcher 2, Fortnite has lots of skins, Mortal Kombat had a version with Kratos, Shovel Knight had cross-overs with Kratos and Battletoads in PS4 and Xbox respectively, Soulcalibur had many crossovers, etc.

    I’ve always been frustrated playing Sonic in a race, and being beaten by literally everyone else. Like… why? How?

Theme idea: Winner's favorites

A regular screenshot from any game the winner from the last Screenshot of the Week likes. The games would either depend on the tags they answer, or maybe games they say they like in their bio.

(May need some extra heads up so participants can update their bio)

  • This means only one entry from the current winner? So where's the contest?
    – pinckerman
    Commented Apr 23 at 10:42
  • No, an entry from everyone, but it has to be a game the Winner has showed interest in on this site.
