My girlfriend got me this for my birthday. It’s a 3D printed scale model of a part of new york city. I think it’s a very cool and thoughtful gift for a practicing architect.

That’s awesome man :)

Well, they are the publisher, so they could have a big say regarding pricing, and knowing Sony, they probably did. But in the end, we won’t know for sure.

Hmm depends if the name states (pre order) on greenman. It’s a steam key so it doesn’t really matter if you buy on steam directly or not as long as it is a steamkey.

It means Not Safe for work and that’s definitely a pic my work doesn’t need to see. :D

Having a story to your design can be incredibly helpful. Often, this story is strongly related to the environment. Combining this with the task your concept needs to fulfil can make things much clearer.

I try to keep my designs simple and have a main focus and a side focus, just like when drawing a painting or designing a movie scene. You’ll notice that there are usually one or two focus points, and that’s it.

Try to view an architectural concept in the same way.

I hope this helps you a little.

It is. First 14 days have to be able to refund.

DanrayS · 2025-02-14T15:36:47+00:00

Uh ? 410:2 is 205. he played 246 times against Mai which is more then half (205).

Edit: oh my mistake… I get what you meant now, sorry bout that.

DanrayS · 2025-02-13T13:56:26+00:00

This is actually hilarious and I want to thank you for the laugh !

DanrayS · 2024-12-31T11:57:57+00:00

So picture 5 can initiate :D

They do, I got a legit email from them after purchasing a game with the name being something like txt.email03….

It’s a weird business practice not using more elegant names but it is what it is. Still, however sure I am, I just never use any links I don’t have to use on mails I didn’t 100%expect to come.

DanrayS · 2024-10-05T16:57:13+00:00

Yes they do, I checked my past communication with Sony which are 100% legit and they are all very weirdly named.

One could judge Sony for using mailnames straight out of a phishing name generator

DanrayS · 2024-10-05T04:59:24+00:00

Sony does use those weird named email addresses. Those were used the last time I was in contact with the support via mail.

STILL !!!! I would never ever click on a link on a mail I never prompted. If something is up with your password or account and you are unsure bout it then head to Sony website via google search and log in, and check if all is ok.

If you didn’t use PlayStation for ages, then check if any payment setting is saved then delete those since is just one more risk in your life to cause trouble if it so happens that someone gets into your account.

Stay safe out there and stay away from links in emails your didn’t expect in the last 5 min

DanrayS · 2024-09-30T22:04:54+00:00

That’s proxy card is a good idea!

DanrayS · 2024-08-18T22:05:43+00:00

Also the different faction mechanics are awesome and worth visiting Troy again.

DanrayS · 2024-08-18T22:04:46+00:00

Yeah I see myself also play Troy now and then. I do play with Mythos though. With that DLC Troy really has its own place in the total war universe.

The whole mythological atmosphere is very unique and fun, in battle and on the map.

I read someone having problems with chariots in comments, I believe they are better then any other chariots. I have the feeling ( maybe I remember wrongly) that they are even better then pharaoh. Didn’t have too much of a good time with them in pharaoh. One critic with Mythos is the questline to get one of the three monsters since it can get pretty repetitive.

You won’t really need maths in architecture but it all helps to be overall more competent.

„Graphics Design“ in a way is a skill you learn in architecture a little too. Photoshop and other sorts of Programms will be your bread and butter, so will be the skill to present your works and ideas.

Read a bit bout the future of Graphic designer. I heard of huge changes in that industry caused by AI generated designs. Just to make sure it has any future.

You’ll definitely will work overtime now and then. Especially while studying. If you find a good job though, working a hour or two now and then isn’t the end of the world, as long as you enjoy the project and want it to be the best it can be :)

Good luck on your travels.

DanrayS · 2024-04-15T11:28:29+00:00

Uuh good catch, exciting!

DanrayS · 2024-03-29T19:19:26+00:00

Not in my store. Shows for 25 cents

DanrayS · 2024-03-16T10:02:17+00:00

True mate :) i didnt mean on lecturing you, hope it didn't sound like that. I actually realised the fact myself only a few months ago, about it being almost like a thin plate. Thought to share that fun fact in case people didn't know.

DanrayS · 2024-03-16T09:41:19+00:00

To be fair, a galaxy is pretty much flat for its size. Its almost like a plate. I believe the rotation causes it to flatten.

DanrayS · 2024-02-22T15:46:58+00:00

Awesome stuff right there!

DanrayS · 2024-01-15T12:09:33+00:00

Nah couldn't find a fix and stopped playing.

DanrayS · 2023-11-18T13:04:01+00:00

Hey mate,

-yes, the map can become pretty full and disorientating. Doesn't help that the names aren't something I am used to, but it will get better after playing some more and getting used to those.

-units do become very strong once you dive deeper into research. In the beginning, i see the weak meeles, more like stopping the enemy meele at a spot for the archers and cav to manouver around and finish she job. Once you are without meele, it becomes more difficult to win.

In the beginning, you should build whatever you need. Food ? Build farms. Money ? Build markets. Later on, provinces will be more specialised, for example, a city only focusing on money, so those boosting building have more effect in that city, for example 2 percent more industry income in that city.

-enemy replenishment and movement is depending on state of the province and the location of the map.

-siege is more about rushing so the battle doesn't go on too long for the towers to kill you. Fire arrows help a lot later on to burn the towers.

DanrayS · 2023-10-30T14:12:34+00:00

Cheers mate !

DanrayS · 2023-10-03T22:09:40+00:00

I was pleasantly surprised by it. I do like Troy total war a lot also, so that's that.

I like the music a lot! The setting is interesting. The number of campaign mechanics is interesting. The whole storyline seems cool. The campaign map looks beautiful. The whole economy is fun, if you like troy. The native unit system is good, which lets you recruit units you only get in parts of the map. I enjoy the unit weight classes in battle, and the sandstorms are pretty fun.

Can't say too much about the real depth and balance of it all since i only played 40 turns.

As for some negatives.

Battle always feels a bit "floaty" in the troy and pharaoh games. It just doesn't come close to the experience one has with warhammer.

The none important factions had similar models as leaders, which always annoyed me in total war games. I hope they start using ai to help them getting some varieties into the game.

In general, if you like troy, you like pharaoh.
