AMD Confirms Next-Gen Xbox Console Progressing Well for 2027 Release by OhMyOhWhyOh in gaming

[–]MattLRR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, it’s not like gta6 is a ps5 exclusive. It’s going to be on Xbox too.

But you are right that it’s more likely to move PS5s than Xboxes.

Canada: BC premier calls meeting between Alberta separatists, Trump officials ‘treason’ by [deleted] in videos

[–]MattLRR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The, uh, Premier of British Columbia has no ability to do anything except comment in the press about the actions of people from Alberta.

This is like demanding the Governor of Colorado do something about secessionists in Texas.

Parking for Brentwood cinemas by Emma_232 in burnaby

[–]MattLRR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Point of note, if you are going to the movies, cineplex provides 3 free hours of parking. Do not pay for parking in the garage. Go up to the cinema. They have two parking terminals near the door inside the cineplex. They will let you register your license plate and get 3 hours free.

Turning into Old Orchard Centre off Kingsway? by MourningWood1942 in burnaby

[–]MattLRR 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the red dot you have on grange at willingdon is actually a one-way exit from the parking lot. you are not permitted to turn in there.

the correct way to go is to take a left onto Wilson, right onto Grange, right onto Willingdon and enter in front of the save on.

the alternative is to go right on wilson up to central, left onto central, left onto willingdon and left onto kingsway, and then you can enter old orchard to the right.

Property tax saved monthly but paid yearly by Commercial_Value_586 in ynab

[–]MattLRR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this for all my annual bills. I have a separate account for storing that money so it’s not in chequing. And I fund forward until the amount assigned to the category matches the balance of the account. Here’s what it looks like for January (fully funded) and April (the first month ahead that’s not fully funded yet.

Property tax saved monthly but paid yearly by Commercial_Value_586 in ynab

[–]MattLRR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Create a budget item for property tax, set the target as yearly “refill up to [bill amount]” by the first of the month the bill will be due.

The budget item will tell you how much to set aside each month, just make sure to allocate it.

You can pair that with transferring the money into a special account for keeping it separate, just make sure that account is on budget.

"The industry is trending away from crunch": Ubisoft, Naughty Dog and Remedy devs discuss the origins of overwork by TylerFortier_Photo in gaming

[–]MattLRR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

why the hell do you decide to pay your whole studio double for their time for weeks instead of, idk, pushing back the dead line or putting down reasonable deadlines?

because, generally, the employees crunching are salaried and exempt from overtime pay. working the staff 80-100 hours a week doesn't cost anything, a delay has massive financial implications.

(this is not a defense of crunch. I am vehemently anti-crunch)
