    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.

    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

    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 chin

      Something like that.

    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.

      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.

        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 belongs

          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.

      I’m still pissed off that they dropped the gold(ish) colour for Outlook.

        I prefer the new color.
        And hot take: I like the icons of O365 for Wort, Outlook, Excel and Powerpoint. And I prefer those over 2007. But I can compromise with the icons from 2013.

        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.

    Pretty sure the second P is Publisher? Yes, I looked it up. Yes, I do have other things I should be doing.
