word is cheating
They’re called “macros”.
It’s the Microsoft Team.
This would’ve been gold if the opposing team was Libre Office.
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.
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
What does it do again?
It’s what many should have used instead of doing everything in gigantic macro filled Excel file.
Access let you build visual apps, usually data-entry workflows, around its internal SQL database. You could build small apps with it using Visual Basic and a visual UI editor. Plus, all your work ships as a single file, provided the user also has Access installed. In many ways, it was like Apple’s Hypercard, but also way easier to write than webpages with the same capability. Oh, and you don’t need a server anywhere to make it work; it’s 100% local. It was also the next logical step to take after the most complex things you can do in Excel.
That said, it was crippled from the start - still very useful, but not for heavyweight stuff. It’s limited to a fixed number of UI, pages, database rows, etc, so it wouldn’t compete with more expensive MS solutions (this thing came with Office). I don’t think it got a lot of love because of that, but I personally used it to solve some real problems in the workplace, without need of any (official) developer resources.
In the present day, it would actually compete with a lot of simple business cases that are served in the cloud at some cost.
No one truly knows, but there’s always that one guy in the office using it for god awful things it was never meant to do…
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.
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.
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.
Ah the shitty North Korea style exodia
My friends and I used to play CS as TheCatsPajamas, TheBeesKnees, TheSnakesHips, etc
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.
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
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
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 ran into Napoleon and Vasco De Gama in the same match.
Orange is forsaken?
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.
