Unlocking Dock.app's "genie-speed" variable

Can somebody figure out how to get slowed genie effect on the macOS Dock back. I can't remember the app I used back in the powerPC days, but it was possible. I did some digging for strings in the Dock.app with Terminal using: strings /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/MacOS/Dock In the list is "genie-speed" I tried to input: defaults write com.apple.dock genie-speed -float 6; killall Dock but I can't seem to get it to change at all. Holding Shift slows the genie effect way too much and holding Ctrl and minimizing is much closer to what I'd set it to all the time. There has to be a way to change it!

Can somebody figure out how to get slowed genie effect on the macOS Dock back. I can't remember the app I used back in the powerPC days, but it was possible.

I did some digging for strings in the Dock.app with Terminal using:

strings /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/MacOS/Dock

In the list is "genie-speed"

I tried to input:

defaults write com.apple.dock genie-speed -float 6; killall Dock

but I can't seem to get it to change at all. Holding Shift slows the genie effect way too much and holding Ctrl and minimizing is much closer to what I'd set it to all the time.
