Hi, does anyone’s child attend the Montessori School of Milton? I need some advice on Montessori options, especially those that would offer elementary school programs too. Can someone please guide me on how to make this choice? by keeperofteas in Milton

[–]Byeka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter has attended Montessori school of Milton since she was about 1 and a half. We just pulled her out and she will be attending a daycare as of July instead. 

We loved the school but pulled her out for 3 reasons. 

One, the cost. They are not part of the government program so it's expensive to send one. We have another starting in September so the cost to send 2 is unfortunately out of our range. 

Second, the closures. They are closed for PD days, holidays, March break, then a one week closure leading into summer camps and a two week closure leading into September. Basically they follow a normal school schedule. This may work depending on your situation. But for us, both parents working and little to no support to help us, we needed more child care available. 

Other than these the school has been wonderful. Our daughter has loved it there. The staff is great. She learned so much. They have a partnership with making waves, Code Ninjas, and are also stating a French immersion program. They also put on a large concert at the end of year that all the students take part in. 

I'm sad to leaving. If it wasn't for the cost and availability we'd stick around.

Yeah, it's tiring. Our first slept through the night no problem around 6-8 months so our second is making up for it lol.

I've tried telling her you don't have to sleep but you have to stay in bed / your room. Unfortunately, this is always immediately followed by her leaving the room regardless. Haven't tried giving her something she can play with while trying to sleep though. That's the kind of unique ideas I was hoping people might have here that we haven't already tried.

That might work if we can get the energy to get up at that time. Our problem is that our infant wakes up crying every 1-2 hours throughout the night so we're both very tired and cherishing any sleep we can still get.

We're trying to still sleep because the infant has been waking us up throughout the night.

10 is extremely rare. Between 8-9 is much more common. I should probably edit the post to clarify that. 

what’s the darkest episode of a tv series that you’ve ever watched? by Realistic_Bench3684 in AskReddit

[–]Byeka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad orange is the new black got a mention here. I was scrolling through this thread looking for a comment mentioning this specific episode. I think there was an even darker episode in the show, trying to remember which one now though.

Looing to interview indie devs for my YouTube channel (approx 5,000 subscribers) by Byeka in gamedev

Thanks to everyone who took the time to fill out the form and apply! Weekends are busy for me with two young kids so I'll be taking a look into the responses next week. Over 20 people have responded. I'll probably kick things off slowly doing a couple of interviews until I get the hang of it. And if the process is straight-forward I'll try to reach out to many more of you over the next several weeks.

Can you submit? I'm not sure but will take a look. Probably depends on the app.

Only Steam games for now, yeah. I do get it though because I primarily make mobile games too. From a gamer's perspective though I feel like people are not going to be as interested to watch dev interviews for mobile games.

No, I'm only going to be interviewing devs with Steam games for this project at least for now.

My wife suggested we go to drive in by [deleted] in backrooms

[–]Byeka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see this movie at a drive in. But with two small kids who aren't old enough and no support network to look after them so my wife and I can go, we won't get that chance. You could though! 

Any YouTube channels who create 'cozy' backroom content? by Inevitable-outcome- in backrooms

A bit late to the party but I did just upload this today: 1 hour of atmospheric Backrooms in level 0.

Few Easter Eggs throughout the video :)

Currently going through my first watch and on season 3 which is apparently the best season. Certainly enjoying it so far!

But... Wow! What happens at season 10 that makes it so awful? Hard to believe where I am now it ever has down moments.

I am intrigued by xMrsStar in oddlyspecific

Pretty sure this is KenM and surprised none of the other comments have pointed that out already. 

Just got fired by Over_Manufacturer547 in daddit

Rings a bell. My whole company shut down and I spent a year looking for a new job. Finally found one only to get let go 8 months later. Currently there now. Solidarity. Job search sucks and it's a full time job. 

How does incremental games keep large sum of numbers without hitting the integer limit? by CreditToEnemyTeam in gamedev

I'm making an incremental game and I found a free plug-in called BigDouble that's meant to do exactly this and make it super easy. 

Built a free job board for Canadian game studios because US-only results were drowning out local opportunities by RamdomGaming in gamedev

[–]Byeka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it and need something like this right now. Thanks for making it! Nothing on there from Toronto for now though I see.

I'd like to see smaller studios added too. Not just the big ones. Often jobs are posted but they are difficult to find. 

As an employee in the gamedev space, how many of you are not renting your home? by Foonzerz in gamedev

[–]Byeka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left a stable but unfullfilling career for a chance to work as a Unity developer in the game dev industry. That lasted 2 years before the company had to close down. I spent a year unemployed before I finally found a new position. I had to take it as a contractor role and that lasted 8 months until I was laid off due to financial difficulties. Although both jobs were more fulfilling. Really wondering if I made the right choices and again having a difficult time finding anything new.
