From my experience, every idle game ends when you ask yourself, "why the fuck am I doing this?"

YouTube recommendations doing a good job today. I remember showing Cookie Clicker to my boss back in 2015, he didn't get any work done for days after that.

Cookie Clicker reminds me of when I was in school and I would take out my calculator and type something like 99 + 99 and then mash the = button and watch as the number goes up and up and up by 99 by every press of the = button.

The reason I particularly like Idle games is that it makes me feel like I'm not wasting time. It makes me feel "productive", I'm working AND playing a game. I love games, when I spend time away from playing games, it makes me feel something similar to FOMO, having an idle game run in the background reduces that feeling and helps me actually work better.

My save is so old that it simply says I started "A long while ago" rather than giving a specific amount of days; I believe it was sometime in September of 2013, maybe slightly earlier. I check in on the game from time to time at this point, and if theres a new building or achievement, I'll grind it out for a bit until I get them, or reach a point where it becomes quite slow to progress again. Either way, definitely put in my fair share of time into this, and I suspect I'll be finding myself returning to it until the game no longer is up.

When I heard that guy say the satisfying part of cookie clicker was optimisation I immediately remembered why I loved the game. It's not about increasing the number, its about accelerating. The same thing is what drives most businessmen, because 100 million cookies may seem inconsequential if you have 10 billion, but if you truly understand the game, that can put you 100x further than you wouldve been otherwise in a months time.

and the first thing you do each time is to name your bakery "Orteil" to get that sweet shadow achievement.

Something that makes Cookie Clicker stand out above other idle games is you can tell it wasn't made to earn money. So many idle games are time sinks because they want you to put in real money and skip the boring parts, but in a game all about the "boring" part that design becomes predatory

I started playing this game when it came out and I had a save going up until 2018 when I lost my save switching computers. I mourn that savegame to this day, I was at like septillions of cookies per second.

There is actually something a little sinister about the game's underlying mechanics. The fact that we get pleasure out of "anticipation" of reward is absolutely true and some people have exploited it for other purposes, such as implementing it in slot machines in Les Vegas and making people develop gambling addictions, which result in financial ruins and destroy lives.

i remember playing this in school back in primary... i had a home save that had some sextillion cookies at one point, but recently i have got back into it and realised there is a massive community of people who help to try and make things as optimised as possible and i love that... This is an amazing video...

I remember back in the day leaving it on with autoclicker while going to school, then coming back and making big bucks.

I like how this went from cookie clicker to existential crisis.

When that professor lady talked about “playing to plan” and “planning your schedule to maximize your experience” or whatever, I immediately thought of clash of clans. I get joy just thinking about when my upgrades will be done and making sure I have enough coin to start the next upgrade right away to maximize efficiency. Funny how that idle type of game is such a banger with society.
