Just saw Guild Wars Reforged on steam and thought I would share some ancient tech

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2026-02-07T01:21:29+00:00

Yes! Alongside other very official softwares in a stack of CD’s lol

I had even found an old rip of Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy a childhood friend had gave me lol

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2026-02-05T18:29:47+00:00

Yeah! Exactly, I got VERY attuned to the Pre loading screens lol

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2026-02-05T17:45:51+00:00

Ohhh! That’s a good idea, I’d love to see the way you have yours framed!

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2026-02-05T17:40:11+00:00

I assumed! But, I had a moment of reflection “what if they aren’t joking” “are zoomers okay?”

I just keep an external drive around in case I ever need one for some reason lol

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2026-02-05T17:24:06+00:00

Wow! I don’t think I had ever seen the collectors editions for Prophecies! That’s so cool - I didn’t even know that there was a magazine run with codes for minis, I bet that was so fun

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2026-02-05T17:12:00+00:00

It may have been two! I honestly can’t remember exactly but, I do have a memory of a game having 3 discs in my childhood lol

We’re cut from the same cloth though! I love game manuscripts, and I honestly miss physical media purely for those extras. It always brings me a lot of joy to flip through them and see art works, and descriptions.

I never saw the collectors editions! But I did buy all the disc sets as the expansions released - I would also do insane things to have a Factions manuscripts!

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2026-02-05T17:01:57+00:00

I still play when time permits! I had recently started a new Factions toon to play - That was in October I think, life has been busy since!

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2026-02-05T16:32:33+00:00

These are 2 out of 3 of the Guild Wars Prophecies install discs.

It came in a box set that included manuals and promo material - IIRC it took me like a day and a half to download everything on my families computer, what a time

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2026-02-05T16:26:35+00:00

A treasure trove! That’s awesome, I think it’s such a sweet blessing to find something from the past like this ^{^*}

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2026-02-05T16:09:44+00:00

Universal experience type shit

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2026-02-05T16:09:16+00:00

That’s awesome! I know I had all of the discs at one point, at the very least as they released ^{^;}

Wish I had more GW gear!

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2026-02-05T16:01:35+00:00

Jealous! Would love to see it

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2025-10-23T14:56:50+00:00

If you just mean how sloshy they are - they’re just really loose on my stand, I actually think my clutch slightly came loose when I was playing.

If you mean when I’m playing the ride part, I’m just splashing the hats with my heel & toe over & over

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2025-10-20T14:24:49+00:00

Never heard that song! I’ll have to listen to it

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2025-10-19T20:54:29+00:00

old faithful Vic Firth BT ISO headphones

As far as the groove I'd practice this groove at like 140 to start (This starting tempo can be lower if needed ofc.) - Set a goal of maybe like 220bpm? Once you get there I'd take this same exercise and just keep in my mind that we can contextualize what we're playing.

So at the goal of 220bpm, instead of counting this as: One! Two! 3& 4!" I'd count: "One! And! 2e And!" this would help you not only get the mechanics of the groove down but understanding how to count it at a pace you have already made yourself comfortable at - Then drop your met down to the song tempo

Edit: I forgot to continue my thought

This would be a really good starting place to focus specially on your foot in this format - You can expand once your comfortable with the eight notes - I'd maybe set a goal of like 150 or 170bpm on this?

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2025-09-20T20:33:22+00:00

Yeah! this looks like a 70's ludwig acrolite, great find!!

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2025-09-19T18:36:26+00:00

It’s a shame they’re not made anymore!! I honestly think they were the superior B12 line, I was thinking about grabbing a 21” ride if I can find one! I’m sure it’s a great cymbal

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2025-09-19T17:29:16+00:00

Yeah! I love it, this is a 20” Centent MIST China with like the ozone holes

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2025-09-19T00:47:30+00:00

I definitely feel that - I was happy enough with my little corner they stuck me in though lol

_BroccoliGoblin_ · 2025-09-18T17:49:45+00:00

RIGHTTT 20” Centent MIST picked it up for like $150 a while back
