As if that team wouldnt queue exclusively on cs_office.
The seven horsemen of the 90s workplace computer apocalypse.
Alas, Access was too powerful to make the transition to the cloud. It couldn’t be allowed to survive.
Getting ptsd flashbacks from having to work with access.
Database corruption was so common I’ve had scripts in place to run automatic recoveries.
Terrible security, performance, and SQL feature support.
I’m so glad that thing is buried deep where it belongsAccess got FoxPro’d, right in the kisser
I’m still pissed off that they dropped the gold(ish) colour for Outlook.
Outlook 2000 was magic, even if it had more security warnings than a trip to Yemen. The current iteration of Outlook that they’re pushing with Office 365 is an absolute disaster, as if they’ve dragged it down to Teams’ level and let it rot away.
As you can tell, I’m not a fan.
The big problems is outlook like every mail client from the early 2000s collected tons of features during the mail client wars where every client needed to do a billion different things, so now there’s dozens of random little features baked in that very few people use but those who do have built entire business processes around.
For example I observed while working at a bank that the backend finance people would use the voting feature to vote on whether to bundle certain loans together. I’ve never before or since seen anyone in any business actively use that feature. There’s lots of other little features and tunables buried deep in Outlook and it’s a royal pain as an IT person to quickly learn about whatever obscure feature a user is complaining stopped working and of course figure out what the intended workflow for the feature is to begin with before I can even start troubleshooting how to fix it
I can’t blame Microsoft for wanting to greenfield Outlook development to a new standard base that’s shared between webmail and the application, but holy crap the amount of technical debt Outlook accumulated is going to take ages to escape from.
Personally, I don’t mind Outlook (new). It sends and receives emails, it shows my Teams meetings on the calendar, and it lets me easily schedule calendar events and Teams meetings, which is all I really need. Most importantly it bypasses a ton of annoying quirks of Outlook (classic)'s license verification and M365 authentication so I generally encourage my users to use it if they don’t otherwise have a strong preference, because it saves me tickets (especially the dreaded “outlook lost teams integration” complaints where Outlook (classic) misplaced its own extension for communicating with Teams (new) and usually involves uninstalling all versions of Teams then installing Teams (Classic) and upgrading it in-place 3x to resolve)
I’m holding to old outlook for as long as I can. I’ll bitch and moan when they rip it out of my hands.
I prefer the new color.
And hot take: I like the icons of O365 forWortWord, Outlook, Excel and Powerpoint. And I prefer those over 2007. But I can compromise with the icons from 2013.Edit: Halo is leaking :p
Wort wort wort!
I was wondering what you meant. Until I carefully read my post again and noticed…
All I can say is WORT WORT WORT
Agreed, the current batch of Office icons - and the updated versions rolling out soon - are excellent. I’m a big fan. But I still wish Outlook was gold.
GG! Easy match! If the players are anything like the actual software, they’re slow, extremely unresponsive when you need anything critical done, and will crash out of the lobby before the game ends.
Nah I’ve seen word.exe, they’re so good they’re banned from tournaments
You will play against them next match tho, and the one after that, and so on. Your boss will force you to only play with them from now on, even tho format is portable.
Back when Dota 2 had player icons in a vertical collumn I once saw a Kim Jong Il team with names like “his glorious head” and “his glorious hands”.
Absolutely mopped the floor with them, but still funny.
Good times, I remember that and the face of Gaben.
Gaben’s glorious brow
Gaben’s wise eyes
Gaben’s sculpted nose
Gaben’s loving smile
Gaben’s modest chinSomething like that.
My friends and I used to play CS as TheCatsPajamas, TheBeesKnees, TheSnakesHips, etc
word is cheating
They’re called “macros”.
It’s the Microsoft Team.
Get ready to be excelcuted.
Let me make One Note here since you Power-Pointed that out.
Got any last Word?
Excel-sior!
Pretty sure the second P is Publisher? Yes, I looked it up. Yes, I do have other things I should be doing.
Not for long, they’re shit-canning it October next year.
Yep, its Publisher. I used the shit out of it for middle school projects/presentations, great for little posters and whatnot
You had to look it up?
If they’re removing it soon, I think it’s safe to say not many people use it.
They just couldn’t shoehorn AI into it, so they’re cutting it loose
Are there enough Teams logos/Icons to do a full 5 player roster?
I think there’s enough for way more than that if we dip into the whole O365 suite.
Can you imagine if they also got the correct arrow colors above their profile pictures? What a day that would be to be alive.
If they were queued together they could’ve, you can pick your preferred colour in the lobby
I can’t imagine they weren’t, so what kind of savages are they that they didn’t pick their correct colors?! 😭
I’ve had similar but they were all Raising Canes menu items with matching picture. Canes Tenders, Canes Crinkle Fries, Canes Toast, Canes Sauce, Canes Coleslaw.
Word is the team leader
PowerPoint is the one that talks to sponsors
Note is the team tactician
Excel is the stats guy
Publisher is the social influencer
Why would you pay for Microsoft Word? It’s so strange to subscribe to a word processor. I feel like I’ve landed on an alien planet and these people just are the type of creatures that you can’t see their faces because their faces are stuck up their own assholes. There is literally a free and open source software that just works the same as Word. That is free. And it ain’t going nowhere because it has European backing now. Because now the Europeans don’t trust Microsoft. Thank you spaghetti monster. It’s like you’re fucking up. You’re doing it wrong. Delete the virus that is called Microsoft.
This would’ve been gold if the opposing team was Libre Office.
Disarming spreadsheet…
