I refuse to be at the mercy of the Grandmapocalypse.
I have 250 grannies but I won't let them unite to One Mind.
The Grandmapocalypse was so unpleasant in 2013 that it made me abandon the game. I'm gay, I don't react well to old hags blackmailing me with negativity 
Right now I'm getting a big kick out of this game. I'm burning with anticipatory suspense with enough reward moments to keep it going, all the way to the top. I listen music, standup comedy, post Shroomery, chat and have fun on SL, time is not wasted. It's like I'm on a good stim, that desire and focus, its sweet.
Its much more fun than 7 years ago, you can tell a community and an army of mathematicians had fun perfecting this.
I'm gonna REACH that 17th building, the ultimate, and without cheating.
The point of games like these is honing your skills and weaponizing your frustration tolerance to a twisted pleasure, like getting kicks out of watching a horror movie.
Patience is a virtue.

If you have not renamed your bakery, there is an achievement for doing that. There are a bunch of easy ones. Making the window small enough to "dunk the cookie" in the milk is another one.

Thats cheating though. The game wont know but you will. You will always know that whatever you accomplish, how high you climb, that you used dishonorable tactics to get there.
Sounds fucking Miyamoto Musashi of me but - I mean that.
You will ALWAYS have the memory of dishonor tainting your victory if you, at one point, cheat.

No, that isn't cheating. It's a normal part of the game.

Not what I'm talking about. The "dunk the cookie" achievement is obtained by making the window small enough that the cookie touches the milk. There are a bunch of achievements for silly things like this.

I was referring to this.
This is cheating, because you are setting yourself up for winning way more than you are capable of on a normal sized screen where the amount of cookies you can catch in a cookie storm is limited by the number of them you can chase across the screen, vs catchoing them all through cheating.

It's just an achievement you can get during normal gameplay. Achievements contribute to production through the kitten upgrades. There are a lot that you get for having a threshold number of a certain building or CPS level etc and there are a few goofy ones where you just have to know what to do, or trigger the conditions accidentally. Usually by clicking on something in the UI or on the stats page. You can see on the stats page which ones you have and it will say what the kitten multiplier is.

I thought it was Day 6 but its Day 5.
Since the making of the ingame screenshot I have moved up from 163 to 250 trillion/sec 
I saved up a bunch of cookies and bought into several upgrades at once.

Patience is a virtue.
Have you tried Dark Souls? this is my typical argument trying to sell people on the series and always come back to the point that "the central lesson of Dark Souls is patience"
however...........

Sounds fucking Miyamoto Musashi of me but - I mean that.
You will ALWAYS have the memory of dishonor tainting your victory if you, at one point, cheat.
in the context of Musashi, one of the things that he became famous for was his flexibility in dueling he was able to beat a number of masters of specific techniques by having a broad 'style' that meant he could briefly refocus his training to hard counter his opponents specialties
one of the things that was "unfortunate" with the social norms involved in dueling was that he did not really get to go back and face his challenges again, as a video game allows and that was sort of the "source" of the Book of the Five Rings -- reflecting on how the knowledge he had attained by the end of life would change how he accomplished things if he could redo them
so, with respect for the fact that you have adopted this attitude more for fun 
how do you feel about things like cheats and exploits and shortcuts on replays?
this is something that has come up in interest for me, after continually being alerted to the fact that there are apparently a number of trans people in the Speedrunning community
but Speedrunning is about getting so familiar with the experiences of a game as to be able to complete them in astonishing times some allow limited use of exploits; some do not as the goal of the speedrun is to complete all content as quickly as possible basically a function of doing 100% of the game or just whatever % pertains to the main storyline
Dark Souls, to me, is about patience and perserverance and taking 40+ hours to clear a play through even on a revisit Dark Souls, to speedrunners, is getting to the end in a single sitting of a few hours
my patience is good; their skill and familiarity is far beyond
dunno where this post was going any longer -- Dark Souls is made by the same team that made Sekiro tho, so there was definitely a good start back at the initial reference to patience!
