Hello, adventurer~!

Are you having a fun and wise time living in Erinn?

We woke up in Tir Chonaill in Erinn without any clue why,

met all kinds of people, passed through different towns, and even ended up meeting the goddess Morrighan!

We’ve really been through a lot together~

And among all those moments,

there are probably memories you want to treasure and pull out again later.

So how do you save those kinds of moments?

I usually use the screenshot function to capture and organize those little snapshots in time.

Let me give you a quick look at how I record and sort mine.

I hope this helps you make an album that feels like your very own, adventurer😉

Let’s sort your records

Most of you probably already know that you can press the PrtSc button, or press the Windows logo key and PrtSc together,

to save the moment you want as an image.

Before you know it, screenshots with date-based file names start piling up in chronological order...

Instead of leaving them all in one big pile, sorting them in detail makes them so much nicer to look back on later.

1 Let’s separate story screenshots from non-story ones

How about separating the screenshots you take while following the main story

from the ones you take just to keep as personal memories?

It makes it easier to tell when and in what moment each screenshot was taken,

and it also makes things much easier to find when you want to revisit that story later~

I recommend making a Story folder, then splitting it into Main, Side, and Event folders inside

If breaking things down too much feels like a hassle,

just keep it simple and divide everything into Story and Not Story!

2 Let’s separate group photos from solo shots

Once you’ve divided your screenshots into story-related and non-story ones,

it’s time to sort your personal screenshots too.

Try separating group photos taken with guildmates or friends from screenshots you took on your own

Group photos are great for bringing back memories from that moment,

and solo shots are perfect for checking what your character looked like at the time.

That’s why I carefully sort mine into group and solo folders and save them separately.

For group photos, it’s handy to put who you took them with in the file name~

And if you add what was going on too, it’ll be even easier to bring that memory back, right?

Example) [Guild Group Photo] With A and B / [New Year Event] With A, B, and C

Let’s back them up on your personal blog

Once you’ve finished sorting everything, just in case you ever lose your image files for any reason,

go ahead and back them up on your personal blog too!

When you write a post, here’s a nice order for the main body!

Story-related content → Event-related content → Moments spent with acquaintances and friends

→ Other personal content

If you upload things in this order, it’ll look nice and tidy👍

Under each photo, add a short note with the specific details of what happened then,

and lightly write down how you felt at the time too~

That way, you can happily look back and think, “Ah, that’s how it was then~”

or maybe even, “Wait, I was like that?” and come away with a whole new feeling😁✨

You don’t need to record absolutely everything like I do!

Even if you only save the parts you especially want to keep, it can still become a wonderful archive all your own~

For example, how about making an event participation album

and collecting only screenshots from special events held during certain seasons?

Or if you love clothes and enjoy trying all kinds of outfit combinations,

it could be fun to record the outfits you wore by taking front, back, and side-view shots

You could end up with your very own style book~

Or maybe it’d be fun to become an NPC investigator for each town!

You could sort them by town and take photos of each NPC to keep on record.

Saving conversations with your favorite NPCs would be a lovely idea too.

Whatever little stories happened in Erinn,

be sure to archive them in your own way, with your own rules~

With that, I hope you make lots of precious memories and keep building them up,

and I’ll wrap things up here for today!

Let’s meet again next time, adventurer🖐🖐🖐
