[dreamy epoch]

My turn, finally

[sage abyss]

it's gonna happen today unless some tragic Wilds event is upon me

[tall carbon]

ggs

[tall carbon]

how long would a free to play go still any idea?

[dreamy epoch]

6 to 7 months

But, spending every single energy they get. Not wasting time, nor dailies

And I'm almost sure, not spending a single energy on city sweep, unless he can make 80+ kills to farm the arena tokens

[tall carbon]

amazing

[dreamy epoch]

And of course, being reource smart when crafting and saving canns mostly for the skills (those requiring dna, at one point require canns specifically) and when improving gear rarity (I think you shouldn't improve anything that's not lvl 10+ on workbench, unless you already improved everything from those levels)

[sage abyss]

I call that "My leaving armygrid being bullied in PvP masterpiece" (Strong language)

[tall carbon]

perfect ending

any oranges?

[dire flax]

[sage abyss]

Of course not

[dire flax]

but oranges are delicious!

[sage abyss]

Oh, I ate an orange today, but I assumed we were talkng about the 1/17k orange equipment

[dire flax]

i have no idea, lol. just being random but i eat those mandarine oranges like nobody's business

[sage abyss]

Do not leave me alone with a bowl of mandarine oranges

Else I can hand you your empty bowl back

[solar jungle]

1 more

[silk cave]

gg, forgot how apt the badge name is lol

[solar jungle]

which one next?

[silk cave]

what’s the - for? id probably do death by chocolatier just because it’s pretty easy nd if you mess up some you only have to wait a few hours to keep going

[solar jungle]

but i heard thatthe last levels are pretty rng

[silk cave]

they were annoying but i don’t remember them being too awful

chef last stand was also pretty easy if not just boring

if u want non kongsquad i think mob wars is pretty fast, untrusted is the easiest one on there but you just gotta wait for a game to actually start

this might not help at all but i like doing these lol but i'd say green you can get done in a couple days or less, yellow might take a few weeks, orange a month-a couple months, red for way too long-almost impossible

konkr is kinda weird because if you're good at the game it's not hard but if you're not it can take a whileeee to find guides that still work with all the updates

nd astral raiders i was farming before they fixed the hard badges so idk if they're that long or not

[solar jungle]

and the quest is just konkr anyways 😄

the yes/no/-/needJ are just inputs on what to do >.< for MojoMeelee i need a 2nd person cause ....

ffs just checked mojomeelee again to see if i can find a match.... my progress is gone again >.<

[silk cave]

this game somehow looks sm worse than it used to lol

and laggier

if you want i could get on in a few hours to farm it out with you, after you get the duel trophies melee is basically free

jesus it manages to look sm more scummy in dollars instead of kreds 😭

[solar jungle]

that's why i need J ... i force my gf to do it 😄

[silk cave]

ahhh, that's fair enough lol

[solar jungle]

thanks for the tips about the diff, @silk cave

assuming no lvlups that's ... 57 done, credits for 74 more so 131 ... then i need to wait 4 days... if you ignore levels and the rewards

[tall carbon]

lol I think when I played it at the beginning it was bugged and you only needed 75

[solar jungle]

i see, dha abusing all the bugs 😄

[tall carbon]

ahah hard not to abuse, the counter would literally go up 2 at the time If I recall correctly

[solar jungle]

hue hue

[tall carbon]

jokers

[dire flax]

ohh ya. forgot about this game! i gotta circle back to it and make sure i nabbed up the badges

[solar jungle]

DONE

[silk cave]

gg! that badge is such a pain lol

[solar jungle]

put on an anime, let warclicks run next to it.. and it's all fine ... just a tad repetitive 😄

[tall carbon]

warclick is the problem

lol

[solar jungle]

aah there's worse than warclicks 😄

[tall carbon]

definitely, but I'm losing hope to ever finish that badge

[solar jungle]

rather finish far orion? dungeoneers? IEH2?

[tall carbon]

It hasn't been 6 months yet so I can't really tell, will this be longer than far orion? I don't know

dungeoneers and IEH2 I gave up already lol

and they just say they don't have "those kind of staff-hours right now" so they won't adjust the badges

[silk cave]

that all characters level 18 badge still scares me

tho idk if it's better/worse than the 1000 dragons one

[tall carbon]

that hard one is longer than the impossible, people say

the impossible was originally bugged so there's very few who has legit 1000 dragons

but it's obtainable I guess..

the other hard one you need like extreme luck, and even more extreme if you aren't premium

[silk cave]

i got stuck at 9 while trying for the medium badge nd just kinda put it aside from ther lol

yeah i was gonna wait until i saved up enough from the streams to just get premium but

then they ended the streams 😭

[tall carbon]

lol

[solar jungle]

it seems i haven't even started with dungeoneers ... whoops

[sage abyss]

dungeoneers is very conflicting

it's actually fun to play

but the badges ask for such devotion I'm getting burned out looking at the reqs

[sage abyss]

@tall carbon how

[tall carbon]

2x boost and farming developement points

but wait for the big guys to start throwing gold xd

should reach 400+ by the end of the event

maybe the actually won't be that interested, because there's no reward title and they already have capped multiplier

[solar jungle]

GF started IEH2 and was like: yeah, i got my first pet... a blue ghost.... and i don't know if i should be laughing or not

aah that innocent youth

[silk cave]

i love finding new rlly small glitches on this site lol

[frank aurora]

._.

[sage abyss]

even the icons don't want to be near astral raiders

[pallid marlin]

So with my computer messing up and needed to be reset, i lost game saves for.
Burrito Bison: Launcha Libre (was at like rift 8 or so)
Incremental Cubes (i wasn't that far)
Passport Rummy - Card Game (a good bit)
Babel Tower (about floor 7)
Incremental Epic Hero 2 (about guild 41, but i lost this way before my computer broke)
Random Number GOD Idle (was pretty close to getting the hard badge)
Law of the Cat God (a good bit in)

These are the only ones that i was still working on here and there that i lost.

[frank aurora]

Incremental Epic Hero 2?! Aw! Losing that hurts!

One day I will have to get back to it, by the way... I kept grinding ... the daily coins (wow, I already forgot their name...) without doing any world ascension because I wanted to be as prepared as I could. Because I do not even have the time to open it, I have not "played" in months.

[tall carbon]

You probably lost DPS Idle, Idling to rule the gods, and many others.

I could give you a hint for incremental cubes, do the challenges on steam, they are 100 times faster

[sage abyss]

ITRTG has a cloud save if you used it

[tall carbon]

and babel tower you can farm golden bricks by constantly resetting, and then you just need one more run to finish

[sage abyss]

you can also change which # of daily reward you get, it's in local settings

[silk cave]

wtf, i hadn't played for like a couple months, decided to upgrade my squad thinking i'd advance like maybe 10 levels but i went from 80 to the badge pretty much instantly, i'll take it lol

[pallid marlin]

Does anyone know if you can get the Iron Rage 40 star badge without people helping you?

[frank aurora]

Yes, they changed the difficulty curve of those levels at some points. I was struggling, in pain, with that badge when this happened and I was relieved.

[silk cave]

that’s weirdly nice of them damn

[tall carbon]

it would be a good time to come b... no I'm banned lol

[silk cave]

i was wondering how people with like 1/4 my power got it lol

[silk cave]

i didn’t realize they banned you from every game that’s brutal 😭

all for an autoclicker too

[tall carbon]

no only total war

the only game on kongregate I'm banned lol

[frank aurora]

Is it a recent badge or is it an old one? I do not remember much this game, but if the badge is old then you do not need any help; I got it alone.

This is Dragon Age, though, not Total War.

[tall carbon]

ooh

https://i.imgur.com/zFpPrkd.png

I was reading this text lol

then yes! I still need the badge

[silk cave]

you’ll probably be able to get it pretty easily, you didn’t seem too far behind me when i checked + whatever resources stocked up you can just use all of since it’s not a long grind

[tall carbon]

oh wow it's going fast

[silk cave]

yeah no it's crazy

[tall carbon]

they also added a bunch of (a lot of) achievements

so extra rewards backlogged

https://i.imgur.com/16ZLwxo.png

gg lol

[pallid marlin]

Ya its a old badge (as far as i can tell).

[frank aurora]

Then you can get it without help.

Apparently, I got both badges the same day...

[pallid marlin]

Sweet

[silk cave]

honestly i way overcompensated lol i thought i'd need sm more power but it's not too bad

[sage abyss]

no kill like overkill

[hollow torrent]

.

[solar jungle]

whee ... had to reload as it didn't award....

took me ages i was inefficient

[tall carbon]

gg

[solar jungle]

another one off the list >.<

[solar jungle]

and guess Incremental Cubes wants me to start from the beginning again

[pallid marlin]

If i did this on stream, can i export the file to kong for the badges?

[tall carbon]

yes

you can export yourkong progress to steam, finish on steam and export back on kong

[frank aurora]

What a shame that the steam version reuires to have a steam account.

[dreamy lynx]

ya

[solar jungle]

did it without but done 😄 whee

[frank aurora]

Nice!

[dire flax]

well that took a minute

[tall carbon]

gg

[sage abyss]

Now you can purge your friendlist from the Oceamaniacs

[pallid marlin]

This game sucked.

[dire flax]

lol no joke

[tall carbon]

worst badge of 2023

[frank aurora]

stay tuned for worst badge of 2024.......

[sage abyss]

the competition is fierce

[lilac stone]

Lund Mera

[frank aurora]

?

[solar jungle]

one reload away and done with anotehr game

[solar jungle]

finally

[silk cave]

gg, that game rlly takes foreverrrr lol

[frank aurora]

By simply looking at that game picture, I know that I do not want to go after this badge yet...

[solar jungle]

just log in every day and claim everything you can, upgrade a bit, progress a buit then close didn't bother with brawl, ir pvp activity or or or ...

[pallid marlin]

Ya that one wasn't to bad.

[frank aurora]

Five months later...

(DPs IDLE)

[tall carbon]

a

[frank aurora]

a?

[tall carbon]

hello xd

[frank aurora]

...

An update for those of you who want to go after Flash badges:

Until now, to get them normally (without reporting them), one needed to install Flash, a browser supporting Flash and a user script of mine (https://matrix4348.github.io/kongregate/kongregate-and-flash-games).

Too many things to install eh... Well, it is now possible to get them with Ruffle!
You only need the following things:

• A user script manager
• My user script (because Kongregate's implementation of Ruffle is broken)
• A second user script, from a Ruffle developer (which modifies the Kongregate API to make it compatible with Ruffle)

Click the link above for more details about the installation process of everything.

There are still things to install... but at least, people no longer need a specific browser or an outdated version of our beloved Flash.

@dire flax
Hey Tec, could you pin this message please?

[dire flax]

Sure thing

[frank aurora]

Thank you very much!

[frank aurora]

Finally!
... No, Ruffle's terrible performance did not hep. At all.

Well, maybe a little... 😂

[tall carbon]

love DOEO

best game ever tbh

[frank aurora]

Funny little game, yeah.

[frank aurora]

Eight months later...

[tall carbon]

all on kong I assume

[frank aurora]

?

Oh yes, this is the game where challenges are easier on that steam thing, right? Indeed, all on Kongregate.

[silk cave]

knew i shouldn't have opened a new game 😭

[clever steeple]

Let play chessbut Multi on Here

[frank aurora]

?

[spring wave]

I'm trying to get a lot of the Animation throwdown badges, unfortunately it seems some of them are broken? Am I doing something wrong?

[silk cave]

i think you're supposed to like get all stars on each chapter instead of just regularly complete it idk why they still haven't edited it to make that clear

it also used to be broken and just counted player level nd i honestly can't remember if they ever fixed it lol so might need to just report it

[dire flax]

meatboy still playable? i'm remembering i needed to get 1 more bandage or something for a badge

let's see

yeeeup! here we gooooo

[tender copper]

Tried that

Can confirm its just full on broken

I've done the first chapter fully with all stars fully on the black star spot for the 3 fights, and nothing

So yea

Also i've been going through with taking care of the flash game badges when they dont work at all on Kongregate (I dont mind dealing with performance issues if its still playable) by using external players, including Ruffle's own external player

So yea, lots of fun. Been getting accepted with that at least.

Which, im glad, because this would've otherwise been more obnoxious for me heh

Anyway, question: How do i go about proving i've done this badge in Rullo with only 1 screenshot?
The 8x8 stuff is on 3 different screens and it doesn't show an overall thing far as i know so

The other two i've done with no issue, game is pretty easy for me to get through. Just struggling to figure out how im gonna show proof to Kong that i've done it...

[frank aurora]

This is a Flash game, right? Do not bother reporting that, instead use my user script: https://matrix4348.github.io/kongregate/kongregate-and-flash-games
On this page, you will find two ways to get Flash badges to award normally. Everything is described there.

[tender copper]

Oh my god.

I can't believe this exists. Thank you so much

Now im just... more shocked about the flash situation with kongregate and the state of the emulator there.

[tender copper]

Holy... im still shocked this works again.

[tender copper]

I've reported the badges where i just completed the chapters with the 1 fight each character, and Kongregate have given me the badge for it.

So yea, just complete the chapter and let Kong know.

[silk cave]

that's what i ended up doing but then adrian said smth about fully completing them, ig it doesn't rlly matter either way tho gg lol

[tender copper]

Yea heh. I still have to complete Chapter 25 and then get Rank 15 in PVP for that game, but yea

[silk cave]

rank 15 was a slogg, i got lucky since i hadn't played for a while so i accrued a ton of free refills nd shit but once they ran out it took so long

[tender copper]

Im kinda just skipping STUG for the BOTD btw. I unfortunately couldn't get the idle one in time. A save did exist in the comments, but it was only for Day 1, not Day 2, so that didnt help.

I could try, but i dont really wanna try that game with a trackpad

[silk cave]

ik it's not botd anymore but there is a save for that idle one in #🏅│badge-of-the-day-chat somewhere just in case they reuse it lol

[tender copper]

Yea i did find it

Wish i joined this server sooner haha

I got close too, 280 of those runes out of 300

[silk cave]

nd that's fair for stug it can get kinda annoying relying on possibly laggy servers nd bad controls nd technically you can just make a private match with yourself but that's also a bit of a pain

damnn, i'm still surprised they had the medium in rotation i remember it taking a while just to get past a run, nd then actually finishing that took sm longer

ig that's new kong for you tho 😭

[tender copper]

I had to report one of the badges in this lineup too

Because they linked a badge for a game that isn't on the site anymore

So it would've been impossible to get one of the 7 badges this week too

I think it got replaced for Stug

[silk cave]

that mistake was actually crazy i still can't believe it happened

kinda waiting for the week where they mess up enough that no one can get a shiny it feels like we've been heading there a while

[tender copper]

This far in now. Just waiting a few minutes to do the 3rd Chapter 24 fight and then i just need the energy for Chapter 25

(i'd rather be watching the episodes these are based on than playing these btw heh, "devil's hands are idle playthings" is a top tier futurama ep)

[tender copper]

Alright, i have chapter 25 now. Now i gotta wait til i have about 15 adventure energy...

aaand while taking care of some more quests, they refilled my adventure bar back to full so, thats nice

and i legit cant even beat boomhauer

He keeps zapping all attack from my cards and the cards i get in each play suck because its not giving me any rares that i need

Did it.

[tender copper]

Might aswell ask if there's even a fix for Burrito Bison LL?

I managed to break the first cake, but nothing is unlocking. No idea how to track how many launches nor my max speed reached for the first 2 easy ones

Wont progress much more than that for now, cause im seeing many saying they kept losing their saves... and i'd rather not progress a lot into this with broken badges and then next day, all my progress is gone.

[tender copper]

https://www.kongregate.com/games/thepodge/dibbles-4-a-christmas-crisis This one wont work even with the patch. I keep getting a CORS policy screen with it.

[frank aurora]

Finally! Thank you; I noticed a few games with this problem but they were broken ones so I was wondering if working ones could be affected. I will update my script within an hour with a hotfix for this game.

[tender copper]

Happy to have sent a bug report for ya.

[frank aurora]

Version 8.2 is available: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/438325-kongregate-flash-games-fixer
Could you update you copy of the script and check that Dibbles 4 works, please? I am good at failing copy-pastes...

[tender copper]

Yep, fixed. Not like the Kong version where graphics are bugged and crashed after level 1, and it actually plays on this Ruffle now and API working

[frank aurora]

The Kong version?

[tender copper]

Yea. The one that plays with Kong's Ruffle emulator.

When im not using the scripts

[frank aurora]

Ah yes.

[tender copper]

If i find anymore broken games with the script, i'll let ya know.

[frank aurora]

I have reported the issue to Adrian, thank you. I could not do so until now because the other games I noticed the issue in are broken (which is a shame because I am trying my best to get them working - with some success but also many tears...) and reporting those ones could get them removed, eh.

I will work on a way to identify the affected ones automatically. I have something in mind but I was hoping that I would be done with CORs and be able to work on the rest... 😦

[tender copper]

Not a big deal with this one, but https://www.kongregate.com/games/2DArray/spewer?tab=achievements this game has performance issues even with the script, with graphics flickering like the professor in the background or the level select boxes, and depending on how much spew is on screen, it suffers a tremendous amount of slow down. Testing from standalone Ruffle player, the flickering does show (doesnt show on flash player debug) but no slowdown issues.

So far, doesnt make the game unplayable, but thought i'd bring it up.

[frank aurora]

That is a Ruffle issue. I cannot do anything about that, unfortunately.

[frank aurora]

Done.

[tender copper]

http://www.kongregate.com/games/m0rkeulv/castlewars?tab=achievements Sucks about this one overall. Game doesnt work on the script at all, despite working on external players, and even then, the online function doesnt work in any way, so this Castlewars badge so far is just impossible...

https://www.kongregate.com/games/EvilDog/punk-o-matic-2?tab=achievements And another broken with script one. Game works, you can make music just fine and get through the gist of the tutorial as well as clicking to websites and credits for achievements, but after that, you can't click on anything on the bottom half of the screen, you can't practice, if you try you can't even exit it as the back and start buttons aren't clickable, and yea, you can't do anything else with this except kinda sandbox it. Game also starts off kinda wanting to crash, but will proceed after a bit. Doesn't happen on external players.

[tender copper]

https://www.kongregate.com/games/epace/demons-down-under?tab=achievements Another CORS policy blocked game with script. This one actually works perfectly fine without the script, too. @frank aurora

http://www.kongregate.com/games/MezzanineStairs/worlds-end-chapter-2?tab=achievements aaaand another broken game with script, skip cutscenes or dont, it just doesnt go to the fight afterwards and crashes, just like browser. Works fine on external players like Ruffle's.

Sorry for kinda popping these here like they're bug reports for matrix, but feel like these would be important to bring up too incase people touch em for the badges.

[frank aurora]

Use the latest version of my script (8.3) and those issues will no longer occur.

[tender copper]

Perfect heh

Unsure of the rest of what i brought up tho

https://www.kongregate.com/games/esthetix/vortex-point-8 Broken with script. Text box doesnt work, so you cant progress dialogue meaning the game just doesnt work. Works on external players.

Infact, that's pretty much every game of this dev, which is alot

Midnight Spooks, Midnight Spooks 2 and Faraday's Flaw are in the exact same position

[frank aurora]

For the other games, you might want to use Flash instead of Ruffle (instructions can be found at https://matrix4348.github.io/kongregate/kongregate-and-flash-games). All of those issues are Ruffle-related.

Castlewars's multiplayer mode seems to be working (with Flash) but there is nobody there, eh.

[tender copper]

I'm guessing the Browser version of Ruffle has these issues?
Cause again, these work fine on the standalone Ruffle player.

[frank aurora]

Probably.

[tender copper]

Alright.

[frank aurora]

Another thing to note, though, is that when circumventing CORs errors, the workaround could break the game but that would be rare. Most of the times, this will come from Ruffle.

You should report the errors to them: https://ruffle.rs/

[tender copper]

Got it. Cheers.

[frank aurora]

Weird that the standalone version has no issues, though... Hmm...

I guess that you checked with the same game file everytime?

[silk cave]

anyone know how to sign back into war clicks? usually i just refresh nd it fixes it but i'm just logged out completely nd i have no clue how to fix it

[tender copper]

yep

[silk cave]

tried logging in w another account nd same shit so ig it's just a game issue for today woop

[frank aurora]

It seems so. The server seems to be down, or at least unaccessible.

[sage abyss]

Is war clicks fubar'd for anyone else?

just give me the badge and I'll leave that dumb game

[silk cave]

just started working for me now, not sure how bad the server still is tho

[sage abyss]

(I think they switched to websockets and are hitting CORS constantly with Kongregate.com domain, even when using DO NOT SHARE link you get no results)

[tender copper]

https://www.kongregate.com/games/dietzribi/toodee-and-topdee?tab=achievements This was a fun one to complete... mostly because the dev thought it was a good idea to clock the game speed to your CPU...

[sage abyss]

And you'll be happy to know Toodee and Topdee have a full Steam release!

[tender copper]

https://tenor.com/view/clapping-gif-8248312488213405277

I always love hearing when a flash game makes a survival as a full indie release

or a collection release

Already got the Bart Bonte Collection and Elephant Collection, as well as Basement Collection many years ago. Planning to get the Crush the Castle release too.

Also, since i didn't do this already and already did this... multiple times with the steam version... and it was easier that this version... and i did its sequel too

(i hate elephant rave)

(i love jmtb02 but i hate elephant rave)

(happy 10 years since i did the original)

[sage abyss]

I adore jmtb02, the guy pretty much shaped my flash era

Achievement Unlocked series, Ball Revamped series, Four Second series

It just doesn't miss

[tender copper]

Achievement Unlocked and This Is The Only Level were the best

[sage abyss]

I'm so biased towards Ball Revamped and then Four Second Frenzy it's not even funny

[frank aurora]

Ugh... This brings back bad memories.

[tender copper]

Just mainly been on a badge binge lately

...most of it being puzzle games

Though i really drove through all of Medieval Cop games in one sitting heh.

[frank aurora]

I did the same thing when I discovered the series.

Well, not one sitting but I did all the ones that existed back then within... a few days?

[tender copper]

and now im over 1800 badges collected heh. Getting closer to 2000 now

[sage abyss]

Yesss, come to the dark side

[frank aurora]

🥱

[sage abyss]

I'm coming to getchya, in about 10 years I'll get the idle games badges lol

[frank aurora]

I will still be lacking one Dream World badge in ten years. 🤣

[sage abyss]

Oh yeah, I just discounted DW

[frank aurora]

I am at a bit more than 70,000 kills closer to the other one that I am missing, since they released them...

[sage abyss]

I saw I was like level 50, reached 71 in a few days then saw the req is 140

Yeah, that's not happening

[tender copper]

Was gone for years, so i do got catching up to do heh

[silk cave]

legend of pandora was genuinely disappointing, i thought i was getting another long fun rpg to badgehunt for but it's just a glitchy, grindy mess, thank god there's a maneuver halfway through that lets you skip right to the end lol

also don't know why every time you died you had to stare at some half naked gross dude

[sage abyss]

pride month special

[little tangle]

im a peasant compared to you guys

also wow i have 7 impossibles

[sage abyss]

Bear in mind that we're old fricks that were here for 15 years

[little tangle]

i would be proud of that if i was you

[sage abyss]

Well, I am proud, but as they say on the internets "that's not very skibidi sigma of me"

[silk cave]

wtf 😭 i'm assuming this is old but i haven't seen this before

[sage abyss]

that's an ancient one

and those are only from my profile and very basic google searches

[silk cave]

jesus

i kinda forget kong used to be like an actual active/big site lol

[sage abyss]

oh yeah, i missed one i think
https://www.kongregate.com/pages/smm-challenge

[little tangle]

same i also kinda forgot about the glory days of kong

[sage abyss]

I think most if not all of them are Gamestop self promos

but yeah, old Kong no longer exists

[little tangle]

Like Dr Seuss said "Don't cry because it's over but smile because it happened"

[sage abyss]

I cry because it died too young

[sage abyss]

@frank aurora if you're adding different distros, the flash game fixer runs fine on my Vivaldi (Chromium engine)

[frank aurora]

Is this a browser?

[frank aurora]

Did you get these extra points, Trisolis?!

[silk cave]

just the regular 5 for the easy badge 😔

[frank aurora]

And the award, on your profile?

[silk cave]

nope, nothing

[frank aurora]

Okay, thank you.

[silk cave]

kinda wish it did tho that would be cool lol

[frank aurora]

I figured that this was just a visual glitch, but I rathered be sure, eh.

Nowadays, one never knows...

[sage abyss]

Correct: https://vivaldi.com

Essentially a Chromium build with tracking disabled so I don't give my left weewee to M$/Google

[frank aurora]

Okay, thank you. Yes indeed, I always like to know the full scope of browsers that my scripts work in. Which user script manager do you use there, out fof curiosity? Tampermonkey?

[sage abyss]

Yup, Tampermonkey

[sage abyss]

I missed you, Flash on a regular browser

[frank aurora]

Ding!

[sage abyss]

honestly, young magpl2, I'm disappointed in you, you should've gotten that

[little tangle]

as they say it was out with a ding

[tender copper]

Nailed it finally

My 6th impossible badge heh

[tall carbon]

gg

[frank aurora]

Aw, so many good ones out there and you already go after the painful grindpossible ones?

[tender copper]

I was already pretty far in with this specific one when going for the quest

So after taking a few days away, i just kinda went and belted this one out in under 2 days

A fairly harmless impossible, honestly

(i did use an autoclicker tho)

[frank aurora]

Well, there are worse ones indeed.

[tender copper]

Yea

I had to suffer the...shivers...

...farming ones

[frank aurora]

Eeeeew!

I do not feel ready yet for such a punishment.

[tender copper]

Yea. Soon as i got this badge, i ran from the farm game immediately

i do not want to touch it again unless i need to because its like... the only badges left ever on the site for me

[frank aurora]

And went to the tropical one right after? 😂

[tender copper]

i blame BotD

As said before in badge of the day channel, the only badge i have left of the quest is konkr.io

80 campaign levels

And i... desperately need a guide for this

[frank aurora]

I still need three badges, mainly because for a few months I completely forgot that this uest existed.

[tender copper]

Im guessing the farm is one of them

[frank aurora]

You reminded me of that haha.

[tender copper]

Im sorry haha

It was genuinely one of the first things i wanted to check about when i returned to Kong

[frank aurora]

Yup.

I am still upset that they removed the other uests... and released that one, without even announcing it if I recall correctly.

seriously, they do not even announce new uests...

[tall carbon]

quest* singular

[tender copper]

Incremental Adventures is so boring to deal with

[tall carbon]

before abandoning the site

[tender copper]

Gun Range Idle is at least a little neat to look at

and i kinda jive with World of Talesworth

I like what its doing

[frank aurora]

Eh, who knows. They might vom... er, release more in the future.

[tender copper]

i do hate how i keep hearing "just search for a video guide on youtube" with konkr.io. Because i try that, searching the map name and everything and like.... nothing

There's just no guide i can find for literally the first 3 levels after tutorial

[tall carbon]

there are some in the discord

old videos won't work because they changed the AI

[tender copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9Lm83__m-g yea i tried following this one and it just doesnt work at all.

[silk cave]

i might be wrong but i think the hard badge for mergest just requires you to come back after a month (or timeskip ahead), don't have to do anything else if u wanna go for any of those looking at the wrong one mb lol but weirdly enough that one was easier for me than the easy lol

[tender copper]

I mean, to start with, once i get the knight and take care of that kingdom, 3 of my guards get killed by zombies, not 2. so...

[frank aurora]

Aw, you gave me hope and took it back.

You are evil, Trisolis. YOU ARE EVIL

[silk cave]

i'll embrace the evil 😔

[frank aurora]

🫂

[silk cave]

i keep wanting to go for the imps on both of them but it's just so crushing

[frank aurora]

Ugh...

I will go after those ones once I get the Dream World ones.

[silk cave]

if the site is still up by then 😭

[frank aurora]

No way...

[tender copper]

meanwhile, i will genuinely need a guide or someone to guide me through Konkr.io, because otherwise, this badge is impossible to me

[frank aurora]

If you are still struggling when I get back to this game, I will help you haha.

... I struggled uite a lot too on some levels, though...

If I recall correctly, I am at twenty levels completed, or something like that.

[silk cave]

they rlly changed the game too damn it used to just be a wall of levels instead of all these lil island chains

i like how it looks too but ik i'd be pissed if i got stuck behind a level i couldn't beat and just couldn't do the rest lol

[tender copper]

5 levels completed

4 tutorial levels and then that one level i needed help from someone with just for BotD

Like, this took me over an hour just to manage with 27 turns...

[sage abyss]

I've been farming the badge in War Clicks for centuries, but now I'm finding stuff to catch up on in the meantime

As soon as War clicks is done I'm probably diving into the hellhole that is One Among Zombies

if anyone is masochistic enough to run all idle games at once (keeping up with each one over the course of the day) I envy/pity them

[frank aurora]

😭

[tall carbon]

apparently my war click progress is gone

ok no it's back after 10 tries

[frank aurora]

Nice... ._.

[tall carbon]

lol war click rn

[frank aurora]

Amazing game. Five stars.

[tall carbon]

might be achieving the impossible badge now

live in voice chat

https://i.imgur.com/D0cLFbG.png

and this concludes my kongregate adventure for now

game literally breaks https://i.imgur.com/EhL2io1.png

[sage abyss]

@tall carbon when did you get the easy badge? just so we get approx. how long it takes

[silk cave]

holy shit gg i'm both happy for you for getting out of that shit and sad for myself knowing it'll take another like year 😭

[frank aurora]

Well done!

What do you mean by "this concludes my kongregate adventure for now"? Are you leaving us? 😦

[tall carbon]

until kong starts doing something

[tall carbon]

27 novembre 2023

[frank aurora]

I feel you.

[tall carbon]

just over 6 months

spent some giveaway kreds

[frank aurora]

Aw, did they really deserve it?

[tall carbon]

but the final part is like

log in, forget abnout the game for a month

come back

[frank aurora]

Not bad.

[tall carbon]

that is literally the most efficient way

[frank aurora]

... Well, of course it is bad, but I mean that it could be worse.

[tall carbon]

was looking worse at first

then it sped up near the end

[frank aurora]

Okay. six months... ugh.

Twelve for a snail like me. 😂

[silk cave]

just got to about halfway to bc2 after maybe 4 months of playing kinda inefficiently so hopefully not 😭 tht monthlong break sounds amazingggg tho

[sage abyss]

I just have my automation set to burn max points and I play to 0pts every day, seems to work nicely

"play" was a bold choice of words, my work laptop has it open

[frank aurora]

"Work" may also be a bold choice of words, then, haha.

[sage abyss]

Oh no, I work plenty, War Clicks setup literally takes less than me logging to my work

That's the main thing I despise about idle games, they're not really games even

[sage abyss]

took me 6mo to get to bc2 and start re-buying investors as a f2p, you're definitely doing sth wrong lol

[frank aurora]

Nah, he is just doing it the slacker way. The true way. My way.

[sage abyss]

Believe me, I'm also not using much brainpower on this

I'm saving all my timeskips for events or e220-e300 climb

[little tangle]

so basically whole summer and more...

[frank aurora]

Yes, usually summer lasts less than twelve months...

[tender copper]

realized one of my impossible badges no longer exists. damn.

[frank aurora]

😭

[pallid marlin]

Hey, if you read the comments on that game.
Someone tells you a better way to finish it...... (which i did).
I'm so happy i didn't waste anymore time on that.

[little tangle]

dont worry it still exists the game isn't

[little tangle]

nooo 😭

go back i wanna be Kongregating

[sage abyss]

reeeeeeeee

not what I wanted to see at work

[frank aurora]

I would love to chat with outher players.

[tender copper]

Got both badges in questmore now

Was considering using kred to get the gems to speed things up, but found out that the entire shop of the game is broken so you cant purchase anything haha

[sage abyss]

do not use kreds until you love the game to death

or you poop golden nuggets

[tender copper]

I only use kred when needed

And unfortunately, there was like, 1 game that refused to be kind without spending money on it

coughmighty partycough

worse part is looking up a guide about it and finding out that you're required to spend money on the game to progress further, because the game becomes too bullshit for people playing free.

and yea, game genuinely roadblocked me in every way while throwing its ads in my face to buy something every screen

i genuinely dont like the Iron, Fire And Explosions quest.

[sage abyss]

Mighty Party was fine, I just abused the "pick your own legendary to spin for" events to build a meta deck

[sage abyss]

can War Clicks stop dying for one minute?

[tall carbon]

thank god I'm done with it lol

[sage abyss]

it's dead since 6am

I wasted half of my workday on not idling in it 😠

[sage abyss]

Papa's everythingeria is still not my favourite genre of game, but it was okay to delve a bit deeper in this one

[silk cave]

lil weird, i feel like i've only seen -1 scores from hackers lol

[tall carbon]

You did too bad or too good 🤔

[sage abyss]

I mean, he survived -1 out of 15 waves, I'm 99% sure that's impressively bad

[tender copper]

took out 2 honestly boring badges heh

[sage abyss]

The games have a nice narrative, it's just that that doesn't translate well to Flash

well, web games in general I suppose, cause I despise VasantJ's stuff as well

[tender copper]

Well now im dealing with Ferociter's stuff

[frank aurora]

Could you remind me who they are, please?

[tender copper]

https://www.kongregate.com/accounts/Ferociter

Made a few games in which any that have badges, all have a "Hard" badge that isnt that hard

except for one game due to being really easy to beat, 5 minute game too

[frank aurora]

I was hoping for the names of the games haha.

Oh yes, these ones.

[sage abyss]

That game was refreshingly hard for a hard. Also this level will give me nightmares

[tender copper]

Finally, after struggling since 2008, i got this badge...

[tender copper]

and another W after so long.

And with a number i feel proud of sticking with as my record with this game forever.

[frank aurora]

What is the first one: Four seconds Frenzy or the other minigames one?

Probably the latter.

[silk cave]

grid16 i think

[frank aurora]

Ah, thank you!

[silk cave]

huh

[little tangle]

god i could never do this gratz tho

[frank aurora]

Hahaha, a guest "hacker". Never seen that before.

Guest... or anonymous.

Or a normal one, but since so many things related to their API broke in september, I would not be surprised if it could cause something like that haha.

[tender copper]

Nailed it

[sage abyss]

Wow you've been on a roll recently

[frank aurora]

Indeed.

[tender copper]

And another W.

(for a game that doesnt work on browser even with patch)

[frank aurora]

Huh? Is it snailiad or snailiad 2?

Ah yes, in Ruffle you meant.

Anyway, congratulations. I remember how much trouble this one gave me.

[little tangle]

i need to try it sometime

damn im really missing out

[tender copper]

FINALLY

Never playing it ever again

spent over 100 dollars just to get it over with already

really hate p2w games...

[tall carbon]

u gave them too much money!

[sage abyss]

about 200 dollars too many

[frank aurora]

Exactly!

[tender copper]

I know what i've done, but the game forced my hand

[frank aurora]

You should have cut it.

[sage abyss]

You're a weak minded fool. You couldn't stop the instant gratification your brain craves oh so much and you decided to throw your money into the firepit for a bit of warmth.

(this message is not intended to be taken in a serious way please don't get mad at me thank you)

[pallid marlin]

Why in the world would you spend money on that game....

[tender copper]

So i could get that badge and never have the game bother me ever again, cause i dont trust that i wouldn't somehow lose my data and have to start all over again for horrid reasons

speaking of, i've now gotten this done too. Went the extra mile and 100%'d the game too.

[silk cave]

oo, glad wasted youth is still playable, for some reason when i've tried with flash it doesn't load but that makes me want to try harder lol

[tender copper]

As you can see, i used an external player heh

Still doesnt work in browser with Kong

[silk cave]

😔

[tender copper]

Still had to report these badges...

[silk cave]

at least it works ig, still mad we never got a sequel

[tender copper]

Also i legit couldn't find a good walkthrough anywhere for this game besides a full playthrough for badge runs only for kong

So there was just information missing on some cards and such

https://web.archive.org/web/20120626074110/http://twotowersgames.com/games/wasted-youth/solution thank god internet archive saved the original walkthrough...

[silk cave]

yeahh, it's a weirdly niche game i thought it was a lot more popular when i played it as a kid

[silk cave]

that's such a lucky find lol i'm gonna save that for later

[sage abyss]

just to get the mighty party discussion back: This is my f2p deck after a few months of abusing the "choose your own legendary" events

Barely 6.5k but easily could be taken further if I gave a poo

Basically choose whatever A or S tier orange cards you can find, spend all blue/pink converting to those and you get a very decent meta deck fast

I went with Order since it was reported to be nuts (and I agree)

[tender copper]

Another idle game dealt with (Underworld Idle)

[frank aurora]

Yay!

[brazen salmon]

nice

[humble cobalt]

Close to finish the Grow Defense badge, need a little more effort (and HP I guess)

[frank aurora]

Woah, that is uite of a big laser!

[humble cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-mouth-firing-my-lazer-cell-dragon-ball-z-dbz-gif-17318792

[frank aurora]

Haha

[humble cobalt]

getting closer :x

[frank aurora]

That thing is scary. 😭

[tall carbon]

😩

[humble cobalt]

he can blow a kiss!

[tall carbon]

😘

[humble cobalt]

Easy peasy. Took me 12 days without letting my computer online on the game and with a very sub-optimal first week

[sage abyss]

Yeah, it was much less scary than it first seemed

I'm still meh about the game though

[humble cobalt]

Yeah, won't play it anymore. I made the mistake to think an auto-clicker and buying clicks upgrade only was OP and took me a while before I realized I should switch to arrows at some point. Then it went quick to get the first 3 boss, 4th a bit later and 5th a few days after

I'm back to Dungeoneers I guess!

Couldn't get a leg drop from level 3 to 5 bosses though

And ruined some saves when I tried to savescum. The save system is lousy and broken. Never got those 10 daily gems

[sage abyss]

Yeah, the saves are borked, I made sure to keep plenty of backups

[frank aurora]

Aaand one less idle game to bother with! Only took me three months and a half...

[tall carbon]

gg

[sage abyss]

Are you doing multiple at a time or ar eyou tackling them one by one?

[frank aurora]

At the beginning, multiple at a time. Right now, Idling to Rule the Gods is the only one that I have started and not put on pause.

It has been this one plus at most one other idle game for months, now.

[silk cave]

honestly way more fun than i expected, not too difficult either besides guiding enemies into switches lol

[humble cobalt]

Too bad they fixed the bug were you could use an auto-clicker to get up to 10 rewards at once :/. Made me get the badge real quick

[frank aurora]

Auto-clickers are for the weak. I play like a man. I break my fingers like a man!

Even though this one was not finger-breaking.

DPs Idle is. Ew.

[frank aurora]

Very interesting game... ruined by the field grinding. That badge should have not existed in the first place; the other three are pretty decent.

[tall carbon]

it's an nft game

no point playing ftp honestly

like your progress is erased anyway

and the chance of dropping nft is none

[sage abyss]

"but the guy on leaderboards is #2 and f2p" is the answer I received when dev responded to my comment

[silk cave]

almost 8 hours later :DD world 6 without deaths was the worst but i'm so happy it's overrr

[tall carbon]

oo that was a fun game

[silk cave]

honestly it was rlly fun i just wish it didn't have such slippy nd weird controls

god knows how many times i died falling off an edge or into a spike because i nudged a key lol

[frank aurora]

Ugh... so much frustration back when I went after this badge. Well done!

[silk cave]

almost 7 hours nd another one down lol

took a while to get past the mental block that this was but man that feels goooood

idk how it compares to vertigo but if i didn't have dha's walkthrough it would've been way worse 😭

[sage abyss]

I'd risk an opinion that vertigo is harder

[frank aurora]

If you want to know which one was the hardest for me, look at Moneysize's all-time leaderboard... cough...

[tall carbon]

lol I remember speedrunning that

it was a hot summer

[tall carbon]

whaat u didn't play fancy pants

unforgivable

go play it!

[silk cave]

for some reason every time i try it literally crashes pale moon :( I think 3 works so ill do that one soon but i rlly gotta figure out the rest

[silk cave]

oh wait fpa 2 does work it's just 1 that does that i gotta do it lol

[sage abyss]

what about chromium with awayfl or ruffle with api fixer?

[silk cave]

i couldn't get ruffle to work last time but today it did so lemme try that out, if it's too slow i'll try awayfl

[tender copper]

I still have to do the speedrun badge for FPA

though its been a long time since i've played it

[frank aurora]

Any upgrades to focus on in Grow defense? I have too many different weapons unlocked and I am not sure weither to balance them out or keep upgrading arrows.

[sage abyss]

Laser is the main weapon I focused on upgrading, laser bounce is amazing

[frank aurora]

Okay, thank you. I would like to get more of those expensive upgrades but... grinding is tedious.

I already got one bounce, though.

[sage abyss]

Direct focus on moving away from the starting zone for grinding

[frank aurora]

Ah. I am still there. I am at something like round 125.

[sage abyss]

As soon as you're able to get into the forest, everything will go much much faster

[frank aurora]

Good to know!

Thank you.

[little tangle]

for me the hardest badge is the one for Ragdoll Avalanche

harder than all my imps

[frank aurora]

Is rebirthing any useful in Grow Defense, in order to get the hard badge?

[sage abyss]

Dmg% exclusively

[frank aurora]

... so, should I rebirth?

[sage abyss]

You can squeeze like 30-45% damage if you rebirth with a good ahndful of tokens, but you have to judge how much would that give you.

I had 20% damage when I finished, but I gave up rebirthing very early

[frank aurora]

I may be close to 200 rebirth tokens, but restarting for less than a 50% increase... meh.

[sage abyss]

you'd get to 35% up from 200 tokens

[frank aurora]

Then I will avoid that. I have always hated this kind of mechanism. What I like is slowly growing... not constantly starting from scratch.

[tender copper]

I got curious about the mobile badges as i barely touched them back then, just run mobile only with them

Im guessing those are just gone now with old defunct kongregate arcade app

Had a look though what existed, cant find a single badge on the pages that exists and a good chunk are dead

I do enjoy seeing the numerous broken states of this site that i used to visit almost daily back years ago

[frank aurora]

A few mobile badges were removed, but most of them should still be earnable. The Flash ones in particular. I went after them in 2021.

You would have to use Bluestacks, though, which is a very laggy virtual machine... so laggy that it prevented me to get a few badges.

The guide was in the following forum thread: https://www.kongregate.com/forums/1-kongregate/topics/352161-how-to-get-kongregate-arcade-to-work-on-pc?page=2#posts-12655672
You can probably find it in the wayback machine.

[silk cave]

feel kinda dead inside after 10 hours basically playing the same game 3 times but honestly pretty solid besides the grind, would not recommend doing it in less than like 5 sittings tho lol

i also tried to do thunderstorm/fuel of war concurrently which i think made it a lil easier to bear but those last 3 levels are hellish

honestly idk what to go for next, maybe dino run but i remember struggling with the last like couple tasks and never getting it done years ago, maybe i'm a slightly better gamer now tho lol
ebf2 also sounds good since i kinda left off after i died right before killing the last boss 😔

[sage abyss]

do ebf

[sage abyss]

*cries in 8 months of war clicks playtime*

[frank aurora]

Ah, Ballon Invasion! Excellent game.

[silk cave]

yeah i think that is the best choice, maybe after i'll do sonny 2 just to get another rpg out of the way

[sage abyss]

Sonny is lovely, it won't take you long though

[silk cave]

i don't think so either, plus i'd love a nice trip down memory lane lol

even though as a kid i got stuck on the baron so it's mostly memories of the first few stages which still would be nice

[tender copper]

well that was easy.

[sage abyss]

it's an alright game, but could be so much better i I didn't have to repeat levels so many times

[frank aurora]

Indeed.

[sage abyss]

okay, it bugged me before how there was no visible game name, now I can share screenshots with no remorse

[frank aurora]

...

Did you do anything to make the name appear or is it how it looks like for this game with the current design?

I have always wondered where the name went but never paid attention to this area since I am using the old Kongregate design.

[sage abyss]

Name is way below in the "old" design space, I just whipped up a terribly coded script to have it attached to username

[frank aurora]

Ah right, I remember now... Yeah, I investigated and forgot haha.

[frank aurora]

You can also use https://github.com/Fancy2209/Good-Old-Kongregate/raw/main/JS/KOG.user.js to have the name right above the game, almost like where it used to be.

A few pages are broken though, but not game ones... I swear, one day I will get back to this haha.

[silk cave]

i thought i was slowly falling into the void but turns out you can just get like 5 downhill sections in a row in dino run nd it just ||messes|| up the background which is kinda funny lol

now it's just very slowly grinding birds and worms to the imp woooo

[frank aurora]

Beautiful.

[sage abyss]

watch and bleed, I just did lazy grab from the dev console mwahahahaha

someone who gave a poo would grab some form of unique id and not base the design on children stack

someone who gave a poo would put it all in one line

there was no poo left to give

[frank aurora]

💩

[sage abyss]

shame it's running like dog diarrhea on Ruffle so I had to use local files instead

It's a pretty nice game all things considered

[sage abyss]

And a little cherry on top

[frank aurora]

Believable!

[silk cave]

ebf2 has been kicking my ass but this feels gooood in the meantime

only took like a dedicated hour to grind eating fish too lol

[sage abyss]

Yeah, the Dino Run badges were a joy to complete

[sage abyss]

As an older player I can accurately pinpoint my frustrations with link-a-pix games: The UI is very clunky, the puzzles are long, unfun and barely possible without checking every so often whether your guess is right

[sage abyss]

[frank aurora]

⭐

[silk cave]

this took me way longer than i'd like to admit but it was also way easier than i expected, a few levels tripped me up but if you're stuck you can just look up a walkthrough to get a new perspective on it

game is bubble tanks td btw i should start using elleander's script lol

[frank aurora]

Or Fancy and I's: https://github.com/Fancy2209/Good-Old-Kongregate/raw/main/JS/KOG.user.js

Hmm... If I recall correctly, a few levels were challegning to me.

[sage abyss]

it's gotten worse, now I stretch the game window by 20px length and height to make it not stupid (also humble brag about being almost done with war clicks)

[sage abyss]

oh no the more I look into this html the more I get angry, the reason all badge images are wrong is that someone wrote "shift it in all directions by 4 pixels" instead of "shift it down 4 pixels"

[silk cave]

i'm envious lol

[silk cave]

what in the hell that's why it's been messed up for this long??

[sage abyss]

Yes, here's the before (I expanded margin so everyone can understand it's a combination of four commands)

And here's the after, with "margin" replaced by "margin-top"

[silk cave]

every day i'm more and more amazed at this site's designers

[sage abyss]

what designers

[silk cave]

nd it's probably never gonna get fixed either lol

[sage abyss]

I'm pissed because it took me like 15 minutes to diagnose the issue and maybe 5 to fix it in a JS script (I'm a devops by trade, haven't done frontend for 9 years)

Hey Kong, hire me after hours for a code review, it will be quick and painful

[silk cave]

tbf considering the expertise of whoever's doing this it would've been a full day's work

while also bricking random pages throughout the site

[sage abyss]

you have to eat a few eggs to break an omelet or sth

[silk cave]

if it's broke don't fix it 😌

it gives our site character idk of many other places that could say they have this problem

[sage abyss]

ah yes, the "it's not burnt, it's heavily smoked" approach

my favourite flavour of charcoal

[tall carbon]

nobody is working at it

it was one dev in charge, he did half of it for a year and now it's left like this

[silk cave]

if they ever get a new one i wonder if we'll see much of a change anyway

it would be fun to be able to see different eras like they were roman emperors lol

[tall carbon]

looks more like the fall of the roman empire xd

[silk cave]

ooo maybe we'll get two sites then, and we can watch both burn

[sage abyss]

[foggy moat]

since i couldnt search the game on the site

i only could use this to show

[tender copper]

So i found that i i had 500 arena refills

and that i can auto battle

so

[sage abyss]

Yeah, the comeback gifts are pretty nice

[tender copper]

Thats all badges now heh

[sage abyss]

Still much lower than daily play, but good enough to resurrect a dead account

[sage abyss]

Nice!

[sage abyss]

Mousebreaker was right holy guacamole

[tender copper]

I think i'll take 167th place with this one. Got the badge at least heh

[tender copper]

and another old hard one sorted

DIY Imp (Some assembly required)

[tender copper]

also kong really wants me playing Monster Slayers alot once i get all badges in something...

[tall carbon]

run fancy!

[crude loom]

HI

[frank aurora]

Pain.

[sage abyss]

My condolences.

[tender copper]

welp, now im upset with incremental epic hero 2, cause my save got corrupted and now the clock in the save is bugged

and i dont have a backup

Is there any way to edit the save file of this game to like, fix the clock basically?

[sage abyss]

a day too late, i had to grind a fair few stars but then the game feels so easy

[tender copper]

If there's genuinely no way to fix the clock going corrupted with the game's save files, then i'd just like to get a save that gets all badges then and just be done with IEH2 then, because i do not wanna go through months again just to get back to where i was, getting close to guild level 20...

[frank aurora]

Wow, this sucks!

Bugged in which way?

Also, was you computer clock, let us say... pretty off when you were playing?

[tender copper]

Just decided to bug after unity crashed on my browser. And nope, computer clock was perfectly normal

[tender copper]

decided to feel a bit better clearing out another flash game

[frank aurora]

Did you not backed up your save files before?

Else... which one was corrupted: the cache one or the text one?

[tender copper]

cache

and no, i didnt

[frank aurora]

Okay.

Hmm... It should be editable, yes. However, I do not know much about the process. I once learned about "memory editors"... This might be what you are looking for but I am not sure.

First, find the file and, actually, once you have the format you will have the answer. Those game files are database one, aren't they?

[tender copper]

.txt files of code

looks scrambled tho

[frank aurora]

Oh, .txt too for the cache one?

[tender copper]

nah i actually found that i did make a backup save before the whole problem occurred

i forgot i had done that

[frank aurora]

Yay!

[tender copper]

But its not accepting it, just giving me the bug still

[frank aurora]

Do this at least daily on those games. Cache save files vanish far too easily.

Arf...

[tender copper]

so i guess it was there before the crash...

[frank aurora]

I have actually faced bugs with save files several times on that game... If I recall correctly, waiting several days eventually fixed the issue.

Once, I had to wait a lot though.

[tender copper]

well its giving me a year of 2026 right now when i load this backup

[frank aurora]

...

Which kind of problem does it create?

[tender copper]

basically refuses to make saves, gameplay doesnt work anymore, nothing is progressing or moving and its telling me to either go 2 years in the future or hard reset.

[frank aurora]

Okay. Then, go to the future.

Before loading the save file... maybe also before loading the game.

[tender copper]

Game started working

[frank aurora]

Everything is locale... so the game clock should be linked to your computer clock.

Oh! Without doing anything?

[tender copper]

No, i changed the clock

[frank aurora]

Ah.

[tender copper]

Just now kong is bugging out

[frank aurora]

Yeah, as I initially thought. I believe that your computer was set in 2026 when you saved your progress.

A weird synchronization, if not intentionnal.

Anyway, what happens if you set your clock back to normal?

[tender copper]

Dont know how that happened, but sure, give me a bit

started giving me the error soon as it showed the correct year and game is busted again.

[frank aurora]

Argh!

[tender copper]

this really is frustrating me heh.

[frank aurora]

I feel you.

Considering how long that thing is to complete... you will need to edit the save file if you want to save yourself from headaches/

[tender copper]

just wish i knew how and what to look for with this

[frank aurora]

I will try to find the location of the save file, at least, tomorrow after I have slept haha. I am tired.
Which browser are you using?

[tender copper]

Chrome

[frank aurora]

Okay.

Hmm, now that I think about it... dha, do you remember where these save files are located in Chrome?
@tall carbon

[tall carbon]

hello

[frank aurora]

Oh yes, hello dha. Excuse me, I forgot the good manners.

[tall carbon]

#🔥│hot-games-chat message

there was this folder

but for flash game mm

[frank aurora]

Huh? No, this is not for Flash games and is exactly what we needed!

Thank you!

[tall carbon]

ah k

C:\Users\Emanuele\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player#SharedObjects\XZPNANLX\chat.kongregate.com

here is flash games

[tall carbon]

I think it's outdated

because at some point they changed how it's saved

and we never found them again

[frank aurora]

Ah, right.

[tall carbon]

they aren't separate files anymore or something

[frank aurora]

🤦‍♂️

[sage abyss]

for the flash game fixer ruffle keeps them in local storage, so basically browser memory

you can rclick export/replace files though

@tall carbon how did you report unobtainable badges? Dungeoneers will soon remove the bolt scroll making the (mostly paid) badge entirley bricked

[frank aurora]

Do you think that Incremental Epic Hero 2 works the same way?

[sage abyss]

IEH2 has savefiles I believe, at least the Steam version does

[tall carbon]

IEH2 has exportable code

[sage abyss]

not sure why the game goes so tiny when coming in and out of cinematic mode, but hey

[frank aurora]

Woohoo!

[vapid moss]

.

[frank aurora]

...

Hello, dot sister!

[sage abyss]

holy crap the performance took a dive on that final boss fight

[frank aurora]

Oh yes... I remember that.

[sage abyss]

I was hit by the "can't complete quest bug" way back when, but this time it was smooth sailing

Also I figured out how to do the evil path so there's that I guess, maybe the good path is fricked still

[frank aurora]

Yeah, me too. To get the badge, I had to play the game elsewhere then transfer the save file to the Kongregate location and report the missing achievements.
I tried the game a few weeks ago, and somehow the game works now... but the funniest part is that Ruffle may fix something haha. Or not, I have not tried with Flash.

[frank aurora]

Only six weeks for that one...

[sage abyss]

Very nice!

Now go play AT, you should get it quite fast focusing on event picks

[frank aurora]

AT?

[sage abyss]

Animation Throwdown

[frank aurora]

Ah, no it is not possible. Last time I tried, it was unplayable because of performance.

Anyway, I would like to get the 2023 "🇶uest" done so my next three goals are Incremental Adventures, Konkr.io and... 🤮 😭

[tender copper]

i still need Konkr.io

[tender copper]

nailed it with trackpad btw

[sage abyss]

I'm honestly ashamed I didn't get this way sooner

[tall carbon]

gg

[frank aurora]

How long does Incremental Adventures' impossible badge take to normal people?

[tall carbon]

months?

a year?

[sage abyss]

I don't think a year, it was reported to be okay-ish

My guess would be the 3 mo range, but I ahven't focused that game yet

[frank aurora]

"okay-ish"....

They have managed to brainwash you, I see.

[sage abyss]

I'm playing War Clicks, my brain is already mush

[frank aurora]

Oh right, that one exists too...

sigh...

[sage abyss]

there's an event rn worth 875 gold, so pretty useful

[frank aurora]

I have no idea what this represents.

[sage abyss]

I'm so close to finishing it I can almost taste it so my frustration grows

[sage abyss]

gold is War Clicks' premium currency, the worst upgrade is for like 26k I believe

[frank aurora]

Hmm...

Well, too busy with the rest, anyway.

[sage abyss]

You can get like good 300 gold with smart rerolling of dailies, so it's not that vital, but the % increase for event badge is something I hope proples me to this rare af badge

War Clicks imp is the 6th rarest badge on the site I believe

[tall carbon]

only means it's a bit harder to cheat on

[frank aurora]

Incremental Adventures is boring...

After some time, I mean. And by some time, I mean a few days.

Or a few hours...

[sage abyss]

Oh, don't play it for longer than like a 15 minute session per day

You get almost everything in offline progress anyway via speedup time

That's such a terrible army to get the beast with

[frank aurora]

Oh, I approximately play for this long only, but those fifteen minutes are still boring... The game was enjoyable, in some way, at the beginning but it stopped being so. Layer 1, layer 2, layer 123456... Reset reset reset reset reset... I hate idle games!

[sage abyss]

I claim they're not even games to begin with

[sage abyss]

@frank aurora it took like a week of abusing the wppppp strats

[tall carbon]

best is ppppppppppp

[sage abyss]

warrior's overkill beats whatever paladin can muster

[tall carbon]

kill fast die fast

but then for the impossible it's like soooo far away

[sage abyss]

the imp is supposedly not that far from the 5 asc trials

[frank aurora]

"wppppp"? é_è

[sage abyss]

warrior and 5 paladins

you get a warrior with 100% overkill and give it 5 paladins to boost his stats so that you one shot every level

THe warrior will move before everything else if he's first in party, so the strat is foolproof

[frank aurora]

Oh, is that truly better than the rest?

Unfortunately, mine is not at 100% overkill yet (40%? 50%? 60%?).

[sage abyss]

90% here and it's still laughably easy how I'm blazing through the levels

[frank aurora]

Okay, thank you! I will try this in a little bit.

[frank aurora]

...

Yes.

[sage abyss]

What does this yes entail?

[frank aurora]

That I believe that I will progress faster.

[sage abyss]

Additionally, when you buy boss only floors, switch warrior to a ranger

No point to overkill a single enemy, and you can rely on 100% crit rate to murder the boss to death

[frank aurora]

Boss only floors? I am probably not there yet...
Thank you, I will keep this in mind.

[tender copper]

...i should prob pop back onto that idle game and do what was said here

[frank aurora]

Let us suffer together!

[sage abyss]

yay suffer buddies

For the record: Getting a second ascencion after the first point took just over 30hrs

[frank aurora]

I am not even at the first one yet.

[sage abyss]

only tales of nebewhatever and I'm done with the RPGMaker slop

[frank aurora]

Tales of Nebezem are not visual novels and tend to be appreciated by people who hates VasantJ's games, I believe.

[sage abyss]

They are better for sure, but still rather meh

[frank aurora]

Boredom. Incremental Adventures is pure boredom.

[sage abyss]

Correct!

There is not a single "idle/incremental" game in recent history I can even begin to defend over here

[frank aurora]

I could tolerate the others, because there are actually things to do. Here, no. First five minutes were enjoyable, everything else has been boring as hell.

What am I saying? Hell is entertaining.

[sage abyss]

You went a bit far with "things to do aspect", or have you forgotten Crush Crush and waiting literal decades for the hobbies to finish so you can pork some poor lady?

[frank aurora]

...

Yes, I had forgotten. Traumatism.

The shock made me forget it, for safety.

I will not thank you for reminding me of those terrible moments. 😭

I need to go see a psychopath now, and lay on their couch while they will listen to me.

[sage abyss]

@frank aurora i'll just leave this here so you can "play" less

[frank aurora]

Hmm?

[sage abyss]

max offline progress speed - set it to fast to get through the "game" part faster

14h of progress done in seconds not minutes so you can leave for more fun stuff

[frank aurora]

This is weird. I set it to "fast" days ago, maybe last week but I have not noticed any change.

Could it be browser-dependent? That would suck.

No, it is not.

Oh wait, does it only work when cap is reached?

[sage abyss]

I don't think so, but for mwe the difference was massive

[frank aurora]

Every values do absolutely the same thing, on my end. 😦

[pallid marlin]

If anyone is still playing Incremental Adventures, there is a faster way to get it done if you read the comment.....

[frank aurora]

Reading them does not seem to make the game go faster.

[tall carbon]

another game you can local time abuse, but in this case the only thing you get is unlimited speed ups, so you always play speeded up

[frank aurora]

I already always play sped up, because of nothing to do at normal speed.

[pallid marlin]

That took a while.

As for the thing about Incremental Adventures.
I played that for a good while, and didn't seem to be going anywhere. So did this when i saw it in the comments.

[sage abyss]

ah my crush crush vm lives once more

[frank aurora]

save editor? Ew, I rather do it the manly way.

[sage abyss]

I'll be over here, hopping 4 days at a time (unless my max offline gets increased past that)

Linux Lite my belvoved VM so I don't ruin my actual PC with timehopping

[frank aurora]

Phew! Two badges for the price of one. This took longer than expected, but this is a true (and excellent) game, at least...

Well... only one badge remaining for that uest... I guess that... the time has come... 😭

[frank aurora]

Gah, after only fifteen minutes of constant merging I have a headache...

[tall carbon]

merge more

[frank aurora]

😭

[frank aurora]

I hate that thing.

Dha, could you remind me how many days you had to suffer that vomit?

[tall carbon]

5 months

20 browsers

the last 2 weeks I was putting bandaids on my fingers because too much merging lol

[frank aurora]

Kill me.

Browsers?

[tall carbon]

so uhm tips

krakens are the best

their respawn timer is different on each browser

so changing browser to farm them

[frank aurora]

I have not see any kraken around... ._.

[tall carbon]

yeah there will be kraken event

they eat key

but they produce gold and gems

obv try to merge keys, gold and gems

first time you probably can't reach the max tier

[frank aurora]

Indeed, they are far too... far.

[tall carbon]

but after that you should, and use the pots for merging the last 2 tiers

[frank aurora]

Okay.

[tall carbon]

that's about what I remember lol

random footage by me xd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmdUzuMLVsU

oooh

I forgot

chests are NOT rng, they depends on the tile you open them

[frank aurora]

!

[tall carbon]

the tiles are different for each player

so you need to find the best tiles for each type of chest

[frank aurora]

Too many tiles, too many chests...

[tall carbon]

yeah, prepare some paper to take notes lmao

[frank aurora]

I get the feeling that I will kill myself before the end.

Bah, spending continuous hours will not even help.

[frank aurora]

What is the best use of gold? I would like to avoid doing mistakes...

[tall carbon]

I think there is an island you can buy for gold, that is the first thing

then the chests and the sacks from the shop (not the single items)

because you are gonna merge the chests

then probably the fruits from the shop

and when you have a shitload of money, you are gonna buy time.

[frank aurora]

Okay, thank you.

[frank aurora]

I got this hard badge before the last medium badge, of course...

[sage abyss]

you've got half a quest from half a website

[frank aurora]

Which resulted in twice a headache.

[frank aurora]

I got the other hard badge before the last medium badge, too...

I still need two of those... sigh

[sage abyss]

I love logic

[tender copper]

been at this for quite some time now...

[frank aurora]

Bad memories. 😭

As usual, acceptable at the beginning... then boring as hell.

[tender copper]

i've only now been able to touch the guild master

just so i can get multipliers with the two guilds

been at this for like... a month now

...yep a month

[frank aurora]

This is far from over... 😔

[tender copper]

it doesnt help you can barely use an autoclicker on this, cause it has a weird delay thing

So i've set it to 4 seconds every click when im at work with JUST the green multiplier just so something progresses while im going for like... 9 hours

i also wanna keep the multiplier thing to 10 clicks every time cause i made the stupid choice of letting the autoclicker click fast while im at work once

...then i see it reached over 20000 clicks to get the next one so

never again

[frank aurora]

Haha, ouch.

[pallid marlin]

After a really long time at a point, it gets really easy to get to the end of that.
But there was also something i didn't do in the game for so long, and found it made things even easier.
Sadly i don't remember what it was. ha

[frank aurora]

Haha

I have two billion euros hidden somewhere. If only I could remember the place... Oh well.

Once the... erm... magic guild is unlocked, I believe, the badge could be gotten in less than a week probably. I must have obviously needed two or three weeks instead, haha.

[tender copper]

These enemies halfway through have so much health

Its a struggle for me to be able to get the magic guild at all

Im pretty sure it requires you to go through the entire lineup up there to get to "location 2"

[frank aurora]

Yup... without any guild...

[tender copper]

I've been trying to get both money and damage guilds up

[frank aurora]

Hence why reaching that point will take a lot of time.

[tender copper]

Im currently trying to get more on Warrior since i think im high up with the money with that guild, nearly 50B%+

Meanwhile warrior is 7M%+

Trying to somehow grow that one to 1B%+ so that i can get the Queen rank with the guild, giving me 2 more red stars which will help me so much

[frank aurora]

Indeed.

[pallid marlin]

I tried to log back into the game to see what it was you could do to make it easier.
But my save is gone and i'm at the start.

[frank aurora]

Aw!

[tender copper]

Yea this is why im making saves every now and then

I was warned the game has a big problem where it tends to forget your progress

so you 100% need manual saves

If i get the position for the Impossible badge, ill save and send the file here if there isnt already a save here for this game
