Yeah, that one is probably some months away, unless something is introduced beyond prisms. At the moment, I have 293 cursors, so I’ll probably hit 300 by this evening and then reset for the HC bonus. At the moment, I’m approaching 10 sextillion cookies all-time while putting out 1.7 quadrillion CpS. ---

It’s kind of humbling to see that there’s now an upgrade which costs more than twice my entire all-time total. ---

I’ve got 9.2 sextillion cookies all-time. I think I can get the kitten managers tonight or tomorrow- I am expecting a massive increase in production. ---

Oh wait, I see. I still only have a thousand, but it would cost me infinity to buy another one. And I magically also have infinity cursors, and am making infinity per second; which is surprisingly dull. ---

Apparently, there was a bug briefly where if you were in the middle of a cookie chain while a frenzy ended, you got a ludicrous amount of cookies. That might have happened to you. How many Heavenly Chips does it say you have? ---

Well, I have all my upgrades except the one I get for invoking Elder Pledge 10 times. That should give me 193/194. Can’t figure out what the last one is. I’ve invoked and revoked Elder Covenant. Only one achievement left, popping 200 reindeer. Working on that now. That should bring me to 149/149 achievs. Business Day was kinda lame. It changed the graphics but didn’t give out any goodies. ---

How the heck did you get to 200 prisms and 400 cursors without getting 200 reindeer? Do you have Octillion Fingers, all 7 Christmas cookies, and all 7 Halloween cookies? ---

I have Octillion Fingers and all the cookies. Aren’t there only six each of the holiday cookies? I reset and lost my reindeer maybe. I rushed through Christmas to get the cookies and move on. ---

Pretty unlikely, considering one would have popped a good amount just to get the christmas cookies but the man says 193/194 so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. I’m sitting at 2.266 quadrillion/sec, 17.484 sextillion all time, 173,404 HC’s, and 175/194 upgrades. 143/153 achievements. I’ve got 300 cursors, 200 grandma’s and 150 of everything else. It’s these damn prisms that are taking forever. Instead of just letting it run, I reset every week or two to get more HC’s but it doesn’t seem to be a very rewarding strategy. ETA: There are 7 xmas cookies. Christmas tree, snowflake, snowman, holly, candycane, bell, and present box. ---

> [@](#): > > I reset and lost my reindeer maybe. I rushed through Christmas to get the cookies and move on. But beyond staying in Halloween and Valentine’s Day just long enough to get their seasonal cookies, there’s no reason ever to not be in Christmas. Eldeers (clicking a reindeer during an Elder Frenzy) are the single biggest cookie-earner, and even if you’re not getting those, the occasional deer is still better than the nothing any of the other seasons gets you, and by the time it unlocks the Season Switcher is so cheap that it might as well be considered free. ---

OK, so in the settings now there is an option for “Short Numbers” which at some level turns numbers in scientific notation to “Infinity.” It still calculates and builds normally, with you eventually running out of cookies with which to buy new stuff, but the nomenclature will still say “Infinity.” ---

LOL! that’s for sure. I’m working up to 1500 of everything. I’m kinda stalled around 1450 on most things though, especially the Prisms which are at just 1422 and I think it would take a full day to get the next one. I’m in Christmas right now, trying to get reindeer #200 (Thank you lev! I couldn’t figure out what that one would be! I thought I was milk related.) ---

If you cheated your way up to 1422 prisms, what’s stopping you from cheating the last 78, too? ---

I cheated a few things, but not to the extent you are assuming. I cheated for the shadow achievements etc. which are (or used to be!) built into the game. In a game like this, there’s a gray area of cheat/hack/find the easter eggs and everybody has to find those lines for themselves. I don’t just cheat up some cookies, but I will skip to the end of a grind process. Another good example, I’ve clicked 50 reindeer, there’s a good chance that later today I’ll borrow some auto-clicker code and just close that one out. ---

I played the game without cheating for a long time. After awhile I got bored and started playing with Cookie Cheat. Sometimes I cheated quite a lot, like giving myself nothing but Elder Frenzies and Click Frenzies over and over. Eventually I started having overheating problems, cheating or not, so I had to lay off the game for awhile. Now I did a wipe and have started over, only now I’m using Frozen Cookie. I’m using it as an auto player to click & buy stuff for me, as well as speed clicking Click Frenzies when they come up. I guess that’s cheating, but it doesn’t just _give_ you stuff; it still has to be earned. It’s a compromise. I can’t leave my laptop running all the time so letting Frozen Cookie play it for me sort of makes up for the time I can’t leave it running for hours and hours. I’m up to 156 HCs. I plan on resetting a lot, and see how long it takes to build up HCs without the gratuitous cheating I did before.
