    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?! 😭

    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.

      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.

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

        Edit: Halo is leaking :p

          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.

        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

    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.

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