I reset around 150 Heavenly Chips. I was up to 95 Antimatter Condensers. NINETY-FIVE! And I couldn’t get those last few without days of waiting, or hours chasing after every Golden Cookie. I had to reset again. Hopefully I will make it this time. 260 HC better be enough to make it to those last 2 Achievements. Also, I bought some cookies a week ago, and they are almost gone… In the time it has taken me to eat 30 cookies, I have baked 33,687,000,000,000,000 more. We may have a problem soon. ---

I had 100 on everything except time machines and AMCs (and about 130 cursors). I’d gotten 69 achievements and 69 upgrades and was in the process of stockpiling trillions of cookies in a run-up to a reset when my computer crashed. When I turned it back on, all my data was gone. No buildings, no cookies, no achievements, no nothing. A complete wipe. All those hours of clicking - gone. And in that moment, my one thought was… \*\*I’m free! Free! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! FREEEEEEEEEE!!! \*\* So there’s that. ---

I back up my save every so often just so I can actually finish the damn thing without having to start over. I’m making 22.7B cps. I’ve had over 162,000 manual cookie clicks (in 5 and half days). The only things I’m missing are the achievements for 777 golden cookies (23 to go), 100 of every building (just 9 more condensers, but they get pretty fucking expensive towards the end), and the 4 for resetting the game with X cookies made. Almost there. 22 golden cookies to go… ---

And done. All upgrades and achievements, and only reset to gain the final four achievements (that is, I got my 100 condensers without resetting). I have no intention of pursuing the shadow achievements (7777 golden cookie clicks would take me another two weeks or so). Final CpS about 25 billion, total of 45.5 quadrillion cookies baked. ---

That seems a bit gloomy, I feel confident in saying that all the cookies I have produced must have solved world hunger several times over…and may have caused a global obesity epidemic, but nobody’s perfect. ---

In any case, this is the type of game I could never be truly done with, personally. The dev has said he plans to keep adding to it, more updates and buildings and events, so I can easily see myself checking in every so often and playing in day-long spurts of sheer addictiveness. ---

[The 18 Stages of Cookie Clicker Addition.](http://www.buzzfeed.com/awesomer/the-18-stages-of-a-full-blown-cookie-clicker-addiction) Some unthinking twit explained to me about “exporting” my saves. Just click export save, then copy the text provided into a Word or other document. Then if you need o re-start your game you can do so by copying that text to the “Import Save” box. The bastard even provided save text of his own that would put me back almost exactly where I left off. Frackin’ enablers man! Misery loves company! ::shakes fist:: ---

Noob question: I have 102/103 upgrades now, but there’s nothing left to buy except Elder Covenant which I’ve already bought before. Where’s my last upgrade? Last thing I bought was Kitten Overseers for 900T.
