It's the Microsoft Team.

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.

They’re called “macros”.

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

It's gotten so dummy. It's so funny. Poo Poo. Doopity doo doo squeak Squeak of the Squeaky toy. Did you make a boo boo? The lick of the shoe. Let me squeeze all the juice out of you. Stuck in time because we ran by swine. All I hear is... Yack yack yack yack... All work and no play makes a dull boy!.....

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 6 points 22 hours 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.

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

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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 13 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day 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.

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 72 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 6 points 19 hours 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

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

Access got FoxPro'd, right in the kisser

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 18 hours ago

Wort wort wort!

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 1 points 18 hours ago

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.

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago (1 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 19 hours 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.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] owl 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Get ready to be excelcuted.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Excel-sior!

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day 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 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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

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 12 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

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

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.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Disarming spreadsheet…

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

How'd you like their presentation?

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Powerful and to the Point

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I ran?!??! Iran?!??!
