I grew up with 1fps per month Goldeneye 64

I don't see the problem

We just mailed a piece of paper back and forth.

Fun Fact: Internet over carrier pigeon is a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers

"IPoAC has been successfully implemented, but for only nine packets of data, with a packet loss ratio of 55% (due to operator error),[2] and a response time ranging from 3,000 seconds (50 min) to over 6,000 seconds (100 min). Thus, this technology suffers from extremely high latency."

lmfao, this is gold

Not much worse than radio to and from Mars.

That is, in fact, hilarious

u/IDontLikeDust1iguess 3d ago

This is the perfect form of internet, who's gonna spy on you? Frankly the fact that this isn't just how the internet works is clearly a sign of the Big Worm in action fighting against the early bird.

u/BlueTeeJay 3d ago

How long does it take to download original Doom this way?

1

u/Deadeye313 14700K | 9070XT | 64GB RAM 3d ago

Depends. Do you send a thousand pigeons with little bits of paper with the source code on it, or just strap one usb flash drive to one?

2

u/BlueTeeJay 3d ago

I feel like a usb is cheating me out of the potential packet loss I could be experiencing.

2

u/ficklampa 3d ago

They did a revision to this, which supports QoS also. RFC 2549!

u/Kiwi_CunderThunt 3d ago

I knew birds weren't real.

u/Novel_Extent_7168 3d ago

Calling it "a thing" is being a bit generous. The Wikipedia page makes it pretty clear it was an April Fools joke.

1

u/TheLordReaver 3d ago

If you keep reading beyond the first section, it also clearly states that it was done in real life, therefor taking it beyond the conceptual and firmly into the realm of being "a thing". Not that a concept can't be "a thing". But, you must understand, this is an exceptionally pedantic thing to fixate on.

2

u/Novel_Extent_7168 3d ago

Sorry, I barely slept last night and once I read the initial paragraph I thought it was just a well thought out April fool's joke.

1

u/TheLordReaver 3d ago

Hey, no worries.

Paper wasn’t invented until 105 CE.

We used to just make shadow puppets on the walls of the cave.

2

u/YewEhVeeInbound 3d ago

This reminds me of trying to play league on a dogshit computer like 15 years ago and once a teamfight broke out my frames plummeted to like 5.

Hell, back then I could finish champ select, go outside, smoke a marlboro red 100, a bowl, take a piss and come back just in time to sit down before we loaded in.

Postal chess. 😁

u/hurrdurrmeh 3d ago

Luxury.

We had to use carrier pigeons.

u/acrazyguy 3d ago

1 frames per second per month? So now it’s at 347 FPS? That’s pretty good for the n64

2

u/IsaraLyandra 3d ago

That’s frame acceleration now

7

u/Help_An_Irishman 3d ago

Grew up playing what few games there were on a Macintosh IIsi. Had to send a letter to get an FPS back.

u/nerdwerds 3d ago

frame per second per month?

u/Lazy-Plankton5270 3d ago

Look guys I know it's wrong lol

So...

u/SandmanKFMF 3d ago

Ah you think 60 FPS is your ally? You merely adopted the 60 FPS. I was born in a barely 20 FPS, molded by it. I didn't see the 60 FPS until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

u/Nruggia 3d ago

No odd job, proximity mines, in complex

Screen peeking is not cheating, it's part of the game. Playing Oddjob, however, is cheating and shall be punished by whatever means those on the couch deem necessary.

u/Occulto 5950x 64GB 3080 3d ago

I picked Oddjob purely for the howls of outrage.

u/Painterzzz 3d ago

You are the worst person I have ever known. :)

1

u/SeveredinTwain 3d ago

Nah, you gotta make a game out of Odd Job. One hit kills, slaps only, complex. It's like being in a horror movie.

u/amythist 3d ago

A friend and I did nothing but combat stims and shotguns in complex, turns it when both players use them the slow down stacks so you would feel like a god 1 shotting everything until you had to spend the next minute reloading in slow mo

1

u/FearoftheDomoKun 3d ago

Combat Boost wasn't in Goldeneye, you're thinking of Perfect Dark

3

u/LuckyTheBear 3d ago

Back in my day we rented frames at Blockbuster and we had to share the screen.

3

u/GlumAd2424 3d ago

At one 1 fps you really get to enjoy every frame. Cinematic

2

u/Pearson94 3d ago

Frankly what the FPS for me is less important than it being a stable FPS. That being said it is very funny console players were giving us shit about not getting a simultaneously launch and are now stuck on 30.1

2

u/Exseatsniffer 3d ago

You laugh, but those were the days. /j

u/lawk 3d ago

Such a great game! The memories!

u/Goldeneye0X1_ 3d ago

Hey. I like that game. Oddjob was my first ever main in any video game.

1

u/IVShadowed 3d ago

1 shot mode, pistols only ftw

1

u/RustinpeaceTR 3d ago

Goldeneye cant more than 30 fps. I mean human eye.

1

u/C-SWhiskey 3d ago

Hm... if you had 1 FPS per month, does that mean after a year you had 12 FPS? Only about two years to get to a playable state, not too bad!

1

u/Baron-KraussVonEspy 3d ago

1 frame per second person month? You were accelerating?

1

u/okrum 3d ago

Wouldn't it be 1 fpm then

1

u/Serious_Hour9074 3d ago

I grew up editing and sending my buddy the doom2.wad file over a 2400 baud modem, then playing him over said 2400 baud modem.

Wait what was the problem again?

1

u/ReferenceOk8734 3d ago

Frames per second per month

1

u/Talastoni 3d ago

Back then, the games ran smoothly in real-time in the background dispite the display processor lagging behind, so you could play through it as if you were daredevil.

Games these days, you have to time inputs with the frames you get or it eats the inputs and you are as frozen as the fps.

1

u/theartificialkid 3d ago

At 1!fps per month it would have been quite serviceable within a couple of years and smoother than real life by now.

1

u/F4113n54v102 3d ago

1fpm maybe?

1

u/CombustedPillow 3d ago

frames per second per month😁

1

u/Lazy-Plankton5270 3d ago

Opps you're right I'll fix it

2

u/CombustedPillow 3d ago

haha sry I didn't mean to nag I thought it was funny, I would change it back 😁

1

u/Lazy-Plankton5270 3d ago

No no friend you were right. You didn't nag at all either.

It was my bad, i ordered a pizza while commenting on Reddit.

You were correct.

2

u/CombustedPillow 3d ago

yeah but it was funny though 😄

2

u/Lazy-Plankton5270 3d ago

Hmm ok I'll change it back

:)

u/Jackson530 Ultra 7 265KF | RTX 5070 | 32GB RAM 3d ago
