Why Powerpoint sucks #234

I’ve never understood why in Powerpoint the “run slideshow” button is so bloody small? It’s one of the most important buttons for the whole interface yet it’s this weird icon of a projector screen. Even in the latest version it’s still not great.

“in terms of “doing nothing” he didn’t mean that it would be a static and mute object -he was interested in an object that didn’t direct one towards specific answers (or in the case of the work of a designer, towards a specific “use”). it followed an ideology found in much of his works, where the power of play is valued as an experience that can be quite powerful in and of itself - and where a sense of wonder can lead to a depth of thought and a kind of expansive understanding (think powers of 10).”

“So what was the working atmosphere like? [all suits with strict working hours vs. lax jeans etc]
No suits. Jeans/shorts. Very intense competition to do hot games. Massive voluntary overtime in order to make your game as hot as possible in the limited amount of time allowed by management. Lots of Friday parties/beer/volleyball. Lots of divorces. All the major competition’s arcade games available to be played at all times for “research purposes”. Ha.”
