*looking up thief from tear ring saga*

*comes to warn you all to probably not give a google for the word yuni*

Apparently there's a deviant art artist by the name with... tastes. Either that or it's a word with a hella' meaning in some other language.

Like. Bendy is good. But it can maybe go a little far?

... this is why doors come with locks.

And if yours doesn't, let me just speak from personal experience and tell you that doorknobs are both fairly inexpensive and quite easy to install.

Sounds like typical American climate politics to me.

Yeeeeup. S'pretty much par for the course.

Hnyeah, three's good for a decent game. I'll leave y'all to it... no point in dragging a game down if there's enough bodies already. Someone take autobombs for me

...m'also considerably more tired today than I thought I would be... probably going to sleep through the starting time, ha.

That... sort of came out of left field, didn't it? At what point did I reference B&W, or even suggest mechanics like those in it? I'm talking about a management game/ship designer/FTL-like combination. Also, from a purely technical standpoint, ships don't, as you put it, "shit".

Bioships, you princessless fool! Not only do they shit, when they do it, it counts as orbital bombardment. The great death poo from the sky! *rainbow*

... seriously though, as Cul notes, ships have unwanted byproducts just as much as fleshier things. They just tend to have to have folks climb around inside them and manually remove their crap, instead of the ship doing the work itself. _{On that thought, though, I'm now wondering if it wouldn't be better if ships were built to take the occasional potty break.}

And that's who QBs is targeted at. I sort of automatically have more respect for anyone at a business that works with Quickbooks, because I know they had to put up with it and learn it, which is no mean feat for Southerns living in BFE selling truck parts.

But yeah, there are several layers of stupid built into QBs, from the user level to the developer level. Why they have two different APIs for Canada/US boggles the mind.

... and ah. Yeah, respect for that, but what I picked up from it is they don't know software well enough (well, more like haven't been exposed to it long enough to pick up a sense of decent aesthetics re: functionality.) to know they're getting shit peddled to them. Which... I can understand. I don't have beef with people that use QB. Just the bastards that made it, who I currently want to strangle the incompetence out of.

Also tells me there's a potential market there, which I'm terribly surprised someone hasn't exploited. It wouldn't be terribly difficult (in a relative sense -- it'd still take a lot of work, s'just the bar to pass isn't exactly high) to make something that's less of a train wreck than QB. Doubly makes me wonder why the blazes QB hasn't fixed their mess and locked the market down. Someone is being monumentally stupid, it seems.

Forget one thing -> Have to re-enter roughly an hour's worth of data entry. Because, of course, there's no means of correcting the mistake. At all.

Fuck. Quickbooks.

Just... if it hasn't been implied. Going through school now to help make getting into the accounting field a bit easier. Once I'm there? I will never. Ever. Purchase any piece of Intuit software for professional use. I will also strongly suggest to anyone who asks: Do not buy from those incompetent pieces of shit.

I will sooner do the goddamn accounting by hand, scribing the numbers on parchment made from my own flesh with ink forged the blood of my customers. Than ever willingly add another iota of profit to that godforsaken company.
