Legacy of the Void


  • Archon mode is just a more limited v. of Melee from BW.  Really the best case would be a custom mode that allows for players to be placed on teams (including combined forces) any way they please.
    • Assuming that limiting parameters is part of pandering to official ranked competitive play.

Rainbow Six Siege Beta

  • Can’t put suppressor on / take it off during the mission anymore.
  • No map.
  • Specialists are limiting; would rather just fully customize.
    • Only one of them knows how to use a sledge hammer lol.
  • Having multiple insertions is good (bringing back a good old feature).
  • Spawning is stupid, like WTF are the police doing not cordoning off the area?  Baddies obviously spawning from previously cleared areas during the defusing process.  Early titles did it better ~ finite number of targets.
  • Tagging is shitty.  It points at their feet and doesn’t turn off soon enough after you see them in a new position.
  • Can’t tag them yourself?  You need a bot?  No fiber optic cable, so once your bot is gone you’re not very SWATy.  Like why the fuck have a breaching charge when you can’t figure out what’s behind the door anyway?
  • Progression system already looks obnoxiously slow to encourage in-game purchase.
  • No Campaign (co-op campaign was half the fun of Vegas & Vegas 2).
  • No split screen (so R91 won’t buy it because V35 can’t play w/ him if he did).

Excel


  • Yay!  I can finally open two different windows at the same time.  (Made it much easier to fill in my timesheet w/ hours excel file open simultaneously.)
  • The way updated cells (e.g. from a forumula) occur is nifty.

El Capitan


  • They just now realized how useful it is to organize windows side by side on a page.
    • They have not yet realized that I want a keyboard shortcut & not this dragging & holding shit.
    • Also, since it's part of the universally obnoxious 'hide the bar that I use all the time' function I can't resize the windows after putting them on opposite sides.
    • This is basically the most obvious arena in which using a PC is beating Mac (I use both.  One for work & one for home.)
  • Couldn't tell if Photos is still fucked up.
    • When iPhoto changed to Photos it lost the ability to edit events after the fact.  So then it was like, 'those pictures your mom sent you of a tree, and that party you were at, happened at the same time, so they are the same event'.
    • There was a thing at the end of the starting tutorial saying, 'any questions?  type at the top of this window!' I did.  It took to me to a google search.  WTF if I wanted a google search I'll go there myself.
    • Can't randomly view photos, sync them in any intelligent way to mobile (just their limited collections options).  Since all the photos are stuck in the database, I can't use third party apps like Pheonix Slids to view images randomly.  So I took all my photos out of Photos & just use Adobe Bridge for now...
  • The new spinning beach ball makes me feel physically ill to look at.
  • New Notes is underwhelming
    • Can't even make subcategories in a checklist.
    • Added mediocre functionality that has been present in other note apps for some 5 years now.
  • Software/Driver Problems - edit* seem to be working now 11/9/15 (crossing my fingers)
    • Scrivener can't open for shit anymore.
    • Computer can't detect printer anymore (it's a printer/scanner combo ~ it still recognizes the scanner.
    • Cintique no longer working.
