No Oddjob crouching! Paintball mode and Proximity mines. Thinking back at that single centered joystick + D-pad makes me wonder how we ever played it to begin with.

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 30 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Putting proximity mines on the ammo crates and then immediately picking up the crates so they respawned and the mine was invisible was just... chef's kiss

IIRC mines wouldn't be triggered if it was yours and you interacted with them in some way. But because the way Goldeneye handled objects like the ammo crate, anything that was considered "a part of it", such as the mine, disappeared so a new one could spawn. The overall game code knew the mine was still there so if another player grabbed the ammo crate, thus interacted with the mine, it would detonate and kill the other player.

Hope that explains it.

[–] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This inspired me to fire up the N64 and try it. First attempt, I blew up the mine accidentally and lost all my health, so you can definitely trigger your own mines. Second attempt, I placed it and picked up the crate, and the mine disappeared! And it could definitely blow up in that state too. But when I tried it again and let the crate respawn, I could see the mine again. So, shrug?

But I'm impressed, I never knew about this till now.

[–] techwithjake@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Thanks for confirming! 20 years later, memories fade lol.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Holy fuck you just resolved the mystery for me!

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

That's so evil

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

We just didn't know any different! Compared to the precision of FPS games that we're used to now, it would probably feel like painful slow-motion to watch our old Goldeneye matches...

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Circle strafing, camping, and screen watching.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 4 months ago

The definition of a screen watcher is someone who thinks everyone screenwatches!

Godzilla mode rules them all.

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

What if the only reason I know what dk mode is, is from a just cause 3 Easter egg? Do I get a nice back?

Edit: I know what words are I swear (spelling)

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Your back probably has a few good years left in it, lol

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If my knees are anything to go by I’ll simply have no spine by my mid 20s

I have arthritis and I saw an ad for the med I take for it and everyone was like 60 or 70 💀

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh damn, arthritis meds by your (guessing) early 20s is rough. Sorry to hear that.

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but medication I’m on really helped :D

[–] nalinna@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Um, super weird question, but would you DM me what that medication is? I'm dealing with some aggressive degeneration and trying to get out in front of it as much as possible, so entertaining all possible options.

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

The best thing I ever did for my back was take up weightlifting (Specifically deadlifts) I've got degenerative disease plus a herniated disc plus spinal arthritis and was living with chronic pain, and now I feel like I'm 20 again. I would encourage anybody with back pain to add deadlifts to their life if possible. Anybody needs any help getting started can drop me a line

[–] nalinna@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would heart this if I could. I just started lifting about 2 months ago.

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

That's awesome! Honestly I think its the best possible thing you can do for yourself. As your strength level comes up you start getting more useful and harder to injure

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Man, that sounds exactly like me, only trying to get back to lifting (I used to, long before the back issues) was brutal pain. Just couldn't hack it.

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I’ll just throw it out but it’s xelganz

Idk if I got the spelling right but please talk to your doctor about it, I am not a doctor

[–] nalinna@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just wanna add emphasis on the I’m not a doctor part, I don’t know how well “it worked for an internet stranger” will hold up with your doctor

[–] nalinna@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

🤣 I'll be sure to use that exact line on her. I'm sure she'll love it.

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

It’ll work like a charm

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hell of a way to deliver a posture check

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Align your spine as if you lived in DK mode

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The only house rules we had with Goldeneye was that we always had the "handicap" set such that you could only survive 1 or 2 hits to the body unless you had the body armor and got like 2 more before death.

But then we would just use remote mines and the quick detonation trick anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We played license to kill almost exclusively. Our go to was with the pistols. Feel like it set me up for great success in first person shooters later in life

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Same. When I was in college we played on the big TV in the rec room and it was always License to Kill. Took too damn long otherwise.

[–] EvilEyedPanda@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Man I've been playing Far Cry 6 all day, and it's actually really sore, I should stretch

[–] icedcoffee@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Slappers only

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I slipped a disk reading this.

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

It's not feeling fine todayyyyyyyyyyy

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Owww. Why did you have to remind me?!?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

...and if you don't get it, fuck your back in particular!

(I'm old enough for this meme, but didn't play -- [checks comments] -- GoldenEye.)

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

No. My whole body hurts.

[–] Adalast@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

It's not. Thanks for the concern.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

If only Bourne had said this to Marie
