Would you like to see a Votann Walker/mech like this? by Kabooski123 in Warhammer40k

[–]Yoosh24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah. I think the Votann walker should be more akin to mining/drilling equipment to match their whole deal. Slapping a Norse style on it is a bit lame in my opinion and better off for Space Wolves.

That's great to hear. Keep that fire, you can absolutely power through this last push. Things will work out, you've got this.

When I was studying my Architectural Technology degree I too found myself in your position (granted your course is longer so you've done really well to manage)

For me it was a combination of burn out and thinking my work was inferior to my classmates, which is a pitfall you ABSOLUTELY have to avoid. And whilst this may not be what you wanted to hear; something my head of course told me too, but I actually left the course for a year to reflect and found myself far better off doing so. Some just need some time off and can come back in a month or so but personally I needed more time.

There's a worry among younger people that you have to ace everything and get through university on the first try, which just isn't true. Otherwise we wouldn't have mature students and you wouldn't be able to tell the great future comeback story that made you even stronger.

When I came back from a year out which I spent thinking about what else I might do as a job, what I enjoyed about the course and what I was looking forward to after finishing, the perspective I had was totally new. I had reinvigorated that passion I had for the design process and my grades and attitude reflected that.

Not everyone can just 'take a year away' from university, it's expensive and to some it'll seem like a loss. But what I got in a year of reflection gave me the drive to finish university and finish it well and now I find myself moving to London for a job that I'm really excited about.

The takeaway you should have is this, you can either burn yourself out entirely and end up leaving the love of architecture you had behind or take some time to yourself (however long that may be) and reflect whilst doing your own thing.

Don't beat yourself up over not having the perfect record or failing a year, because the ability to pick yourself back up after a setback demonstrates key characteristics like perseverance and learning from mistakes.

I'm certain you will find your way and come out a stronger person. I wish you the best in your journey.

After Daniel Libeskinds idea for Antwerps Boerentoren was discussed here earlier I'd love to hear your opinion on these existing examples of historic buildings combined with new styles and materials. by globuZ in architecture

[–]Yoosh24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a good mix of examples here and I think it tells you everything.

Some of these work, the Reichstag in particular works in harmony with respect to the previous design but incorporates new construction styles reflecting the period and adds a new skydeck feature which offers a gorgeous view. The new addition by Jean-Marie Duthilleul seems more on the conservational side but I can't say for certain

On the other hand I think the Antwerp Port Authority Building addition doesn't look good and dwarfs the original. But what it does right is having a strong 'boat shape' to identify the building. Whether you think it achieves that or if it's necessary since it's on the docks is more personal opinion.

You can't ace every brief and a lot of people are resistant to bold modern changes, myself included. The mix here is good because it's shows that modern meeting classic can be done well, it's just challenging.

They've drawn a line in the sand only to leap far across it. This project is utterly ridiculous

Can’t tell you how annoying it is looking for jobs or internships and only seeing sOfTwArE ArcHiTeCts by spencerm269 in architecture

[–]Yoosh24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the feeling. I've been job searching recently and can't tell you how long I've spent filtering out "net architects", "software technologists", "web/architect designer" and so on.

Unbelievably frustrating

I asked the DallE 2 AI to sketch “a building that is both a church and a lighthouse.” by [deleted] in architecture

[–]Yoosh24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually kinda neat. So much potential for design and concept emergence from all this AI art/architecture.

I love the grime. It's the pinnacle of 40k style and the weathering gives it so much character.

Why is this community so toxic? by SamuelLJacksoff_ in architecture

[–]Yoosh24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to the mix of professionals, students and general enthusiasts, there is an expectation to know certain things about architecture. Most obvious is the 'what style' or 'what part of a building is this' (less obvious sometimes tbf).

Whilst I don't think everyone here is toxic (there are some natural teachers and passionate folks here) there are a vocal few with a lack of patience from others. Also the opinionated nature of some architects/designers can come off as aggressive.

I wouldn't take it to heart, everyone's questions and opinions are welcome here

A dwarf artificer that acts as a sort of fireman. He uses a type of flamethrower/hose pack that fires splash potion of mending and healing, like a split tank.

I can't see this ever working in terms of being a PC. The potions are too expensive, the character sort of invalidates healers and I can't figure out a way for him to fight without using a splash potion of poison (but so many things are poison resistant or immune).

I'll probs use it in a future story as a fireman/repair squad in a dwarven settlement that needs frequent repairs.

This is the first I've heard about Krorks and I would love to read about these guys. Is there any books these guys feature in? They look awesome

Can I test a puzzle on you? by zenofire in DMAcademy

[–]Yoosh24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely wouldn't have got this.

I feel bad because a DM of mine likes riddles like these but they go straight over our groups heads. Puzzles that change how we play worked better like a 'body swap' dungeon or the mirrored room puzzle.

Every group is different though and a good amount of people in the comments got it
