I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

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.

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago

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

Access got FoxPro'd, right in the kisser

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

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] tibi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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.

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.

[–] Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 months ago

Nah I've seen word.exe, they're so good they're banned from tournaments

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 months ago

Ah the shitty North Korea style exodia

My friends and I used to play CS as TheCatsPajamas, TheBeesKnees, TheSnakesHips, etc

Get ready to be excelcuted.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Let me make One Note here since you Power-Pointed that out.

[–] owl@infosec.pub 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Excel-sior!

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (5 children)

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

[–] swizzlestick@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 months ago

Not for long, they're shit-canning it October next year.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

Yep, its Publisher. I used the shit out of it for middle school projects/presentations, great for little posters and whatnot

They’re called “macros”.

Are there enough Teams logos/Icons to do a full 5 player roster?

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I think there's enough for way more than that if we dip into the whole O365 suite.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can you imagine if they also got the correct arrow colors above their profile pictures? What a day that would be to be alive.

[–] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If they were queued together they could’ve, you can pick your preferred colour in the lobby

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I can't imagine they weren't, so what kind of savages are they that they didn't pick their correct colors?! 😭

[–] hex@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

It's the Microsoft Team.

[–] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

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.

Disarming spreadsheet…

[–] OfficerBribe@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

This would've been gold if the opposing team was Libre Office.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How'd you like their presentation?

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Powerful and to the Point

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

I ran into Napoleon and Vasco De Gama in the same match.
