Yeah I meant to say Golden cokies ---

I left it running for about a week while I was out of town, and when I returned the golden cookies had become invisible, though I could still see the red ones (I could tell they were there by shrinking the window down and clicking for a couple minutes to try and catch one). Other things like building icons also dropped out of view. It all resolved itself when I reset. There is some kind of bug in the program. ---

Oh, and, Woohoo, bicentennial! To be followed by the next tier of reset-with-a-bunch-of-cookies achievement, as soon as I decide to restart, but with the 200 prisms boost, I think I might as well leave it go for a while longer now. ---

You beat me to it, you bastard. If I hadn’t just reset, I might have it by now. ---

The Beta is very unbalanced and the upgrades are bugged. Don’t upgrade your current games to the beta. With a few million HC, you can “finish” the game in a matter of days. I started over in the beta with a different browser. Almost ready to “Ascend” for the first time, and bake some Heavenly cookies and purchase Prestige upgrades. Should be a great new addition to the game, and add a lot more variety to the standard strategies. ---

Are you guys finding that the beta has no heavenly chips? And no “reset” button, only “Wipe Save”? Or am I just having trouble because I tried to load my game into it? ---

> [@TruCelt](#): > > Are you guys finding that the beta has no heavenly chips? And no “reset” button, only “Wipe Save”? Or am I just having trouble because I tried to load my game into it? They just changed. To reset, you now click on “Legacy” then “Ascend” (you can only Ascend once you have earned a Heavenly Chip). Your Heavenly Chips can then be used to purchase permanent upgrades or to bake Heavenly Cookies, which work like Heavenly Chips used to. ---

Finally got 200 prisms, and am now cruising along at 92.5 quadrillion per second. I didn’t think it would take so long! I’ve been running the beta in parallel in the meantime. In less than 10 days I’m approaching 2 sextillion, with no ascending yet. I think the beta run could surpass my other game in not too long. ---

Yeah, I finally got 200 prisms, but I may never get 400 cursors. They just get too expensive for so little reward. And my default season still seems to be Easter? It does seem like it’s closer to Halloween than Easter. I’ve seen a bunch of pumpkins about. Though unfortunately I’ve also seen a few Santas in the local stores. ---

The beta keeps overheating my computer. I can’t for the life of me figure out why that be. I’ve got the graphics and other options set way low. I’m only up to about 550k per second. I’m really confused as to what could be using so much processor time. ---

My laptop was overheating and spontaneously shutting down a few months ago. I blew some canned air through the cooling fan vents, blew out a bunch of dust, and it has been good ever since. ---

]I usually don’t tell people this for fear of being judged or, y’know, diagnosed, but I think those of you on this thread will be able to relate. When I was a small child, I would sometimes stare at a digital clock for hours at a time. Thank you, **Idle Thoughts** , for returning me to this simple, childlike pleasure. I’m going to hunt you down and kill you. 24 hours in, I am rapidly approaching my quadrillionth cookie and am churning them out at 30 bn cps. I just upgraded to the Elder Santa. I have 45 Prisms and slightly larger numbers of antimatter condensers, time machines, and portals; everything else except grandmothers (I have 111) seems to be a waste of time. I have 46% of possible acheivements and 51% of possible upgrades; Having read the first few pages of this thread, I have not purchased One Mind! I have serious marital difficulties and have caused one small kitchen fire thus far due to distraction by cookies. ---
