And also, selling 10 cursors and 5 grandmas is not going to give you enough cookies for a portal... unless you've already spent a really long time getting cookies with your grandmas and cursors. probably optimal to buy farms/mines/factories at some point.

Yeah, the numbers are made up entirely as I disclaimed. I was simply making the point that you can sell to gain faster producing infrastructure in the early game and net far more cookies than waiting until you can afford to buy without selling.

Hmmm, that does seem to work (and actuallly be a good idea even if not going for achievements). However, I think this is a bit of an edge case - it only helps early in the game, and probably only once or twice.

This seems like less of an edge case after last night's nerf to heavenly chips.

I recently gave up the cookie clicker addiction after getting every achievement, 500 heavenly chips and having 10's of quadrillions in the bank.

But if you guys want other pointless yet strangely addictive games, check out progress quest.

Those damn cookies are strangely compelling.  Thankfully I only lost part of this afternoon; the usual trick worked to get me off the hook:

Code: [Select]

for i in {1..100000}; do xdotool mousemove 200 400 click 1; done
If you're addicted and use Windows, I'm afraid it's beyond my powers to save you.

And it's also an app on iOS.  So you can slam your finger down over and over on the screen.  Definitely not as good as the browser version, though.

You may think your attack is full of grimness and storminess, but it is counter-mined by your obvious state of delusional dreaminess

Tonight my wife gets her first tattoo. A severe arachnophobe, she is facing her fears by having a steampunk spider put on her body. Granted, it's on her back, so I guess "facing" is not correct, but still…

And she did very well for standing inside a tattoo parlor called "Grimm's" during Halloween season.

I finally got every achievement in Cookie Clicker.  The only Shadow Achievements I have so far are Hardcore and True Neverclick.

[Tables]

For some reason, I decided to play Cookie Cliker. It's now perpetually running in the background, or in the foreground as I do something else like playing Pokemon. I got Speed Baking I on my first play, is that normal? Seems pretty easy to get.

Perhaps it's because I'm a mathematician, but I made a spreadsheet to calculate stuff for me. At first I just input data and got some useful results on what was cost efficient, but then I added and added and now it pretty much tells me what to buy next (although it does use a few approximations, and doesn't realise that e.g. saving up for 2 hours to buy something isn't as good as upgrading something with a slightly lower efficiency but cheaper cost).

I was really slow my first play through.  It was probably at least ten minutes before I realized you could buy cursors, grandmas etc.  I thought it was just a silly rating system. Then on my first reset I was going for True Neverclick, so I didn't even get my first cursor for a good ten or fifteen minutes.  I intend to at least get Speed Baking II next time I reset.

Something fun I realised is that, due to upgrades to cursors, cookies and kittens, while each Farm might only increase my CPS by 80, the overall CPS increase is over 9000*

*Actually over 30,000, but you know, 9K sounds better.

Also, I've just had three clots in a row, followed by a ruin and then another clot. My resolve to not Pledge until after a Cookie Chain/Elder Frenzy/Clicking Frenzy is being tested, but I think that's still probably the best way of doing things.

Edit: And then another clot. According to the wiki and crunching some numbers, after getting a bad red cookie there's a 56.5% chance of getting something good after a bad cookie. Eh, I guess that's not too unreasonable.

That's why I stick with golden cookies...

When you have all the golden cookie upgrades, you can get other things during a frenzy, and that can help a lot.

[SirPeebles]

And 4 trillion cookies for a one hour pledge is nothing when you are raking in a quadrillion cookies per combo.

[liopoil]

Right now I'm at 186 trillion per combo (22billion cps)... pledge, covenant, or nothing? Right now I'm using covenant, just because it's simpler

The dots are only moving in straight lines.

I finally got around to writing out a mathematical proof that those really are straight lines.

What would it look like if the balls weren't sinusoid-ing back and forth, but instead moved with constant speed?

What if the radius of the inner "circle" were not exactly equal to half that of the outer? How would that affect the paths the balls would take? Some sort of weird cycloid or something?
