> [@Hal\_Briston](#): > > 100 Trillion CpS. Daaaaamn, I like this new upgrade. 1.099 Quadrillion CpS … I just started the game up again about 20 minutes ago after not doing anything with it for over a month and was able to buy 100 Prisms right off the bat. Whee! I need almost 2 Sextillion to get the 198th antimatter condenser, though. Yikes! ---

I fired up the game again to see the new stuff. I reset to get my 1000+ HCs, and spent an hour or so buying buildings etc. and my laptop suddenly shut down w/out warning. I assume the laptop over heated. It was _very_ hot. Not sure I can play the game anymore if that’s going to happen. The game ain’t worth my laptop! ---

If you can overhead the laptop using javascript in a browser, something is wrong. Check to make sure your fans are working and clear. The game is cranking out cookies with all the particle stuff on my machine now, and CPU use is at about 5 percent. This game seems to hog memory like it’s going out of style (particularly in IE 11, so I switched to Firefox), but it’s very low on the CPU scale. ---

2670 hours and 1900 heavenly chips later and this game still feels like a grind. Worst part is, I’m probably never going to max out the achievements because I can’t speed click fast enough. ---

This game seems to hog memory like it’s going out of style (particularly in IE 11, so I switched to Firefox), but it’s very low on the CPU scale. Is there an app for that? 🙂 I run Cookie Monster on top of Cookie Clicker. Does that heat things up? ---

> [@Amblydoper](#): > > Hold your mouse in front of you and rapidly click with both index fingers as fast as possible. I only do any speed-clicking when I get a x666 or x777 multiplier (as well as the first few x7’s after a reset). I find the most effective way is to use the + key on my keyboard’s numpad. I’m able to beat on a keyboard key much more effectively than I can a mouse. ---

Two things I’ve learned: One, Cookie Monster doesn’t properly account for One Mind, Communal Brainsweep, and Elder Covenant. As a result, Grandmothers are significantly better than Cookie Monster thinks they are (about 30x better, in my game (~200 grandmothers), though that will vary depending on how many grandmothers and portals you have). Two, either Cookie Clicker or Cookie Monster now has a terrible, horrible memory leak in it somewhere, to the tune of tens of gigs if you let it run overnight (at least, on Firefox and OSX). Since I need my computer and web browser to be fully functional first thing in the morning when I get up, I’m forced to retire this game. ---

Since I need my computer and web browser to be fully functional first thing in the morning when I get up, I’m forced to retire this game. 1. I’ve never used Cookie Monster and 2. I use Google Chrome to play Cookie Clicker. I’ve been leaving it on all night for about 2 months now and I’ve never had this problem. So if you’re ever called back to this game (and you know how THAT can be), that’s the way to go. ---

Same here – I’ve been running this non-stop on Chrome with no cheat programs since September (with a few shutdowns/reboots for real-life-based reasons), and no issues here. ---

> [@Hal\_Briston](#): > > Any cheats, Cookie Monster, etc.? No I never used any cheats, I usually leave the game running 24 hours a day. When I’m watching a movie, i’ll usually click on the golden cookies. I still need to get 200 of everything for my last achievement though. Too make the game a little more fun, i’ll reset and see how fast I can get 100 antimatters. last time I did that, I got 100 of them in less than 20 minutes. ---

A new update is online for April Fool’s Day. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much to it. I only see it adding one new achievement, for having 150 of everything. ---
