The real crime here is using Excel as a database.

That reminds me of my previous job at a factory where a business critical database was maintained as a single Excel file with 15000 rows and 200 columns, and now all of my bones are in attack position.

I'll jump through my window before I ever again spend hours doing dozens of VBA lookups to fix data that got fucked up.

SELECT Insult FROM Insults
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT 1

Excel databases are totally fine if the only reader is human

Why do you have to use fancy stuff like Excel when notepad will do?

It's a power move. You let them see you've brought a licensed copy of office 2007 to the game, and the dm immediately knows you are not to be fucked with. Unless they've got a bigger and better spreadsheet of course.
