‘Cookie Clicker’ developer creates ridiculously long Steam achievement name for fun

Bake ungodly amounts of cookies to earn a history lesson, ok?

The absurdly simplistic yet wildly entertaining Cookie Clicker recently made its way onto Steam, and its developers added a hilariously long achievement name just for laughs. 

Cookie Clicker is all about, well, clicking cookies! The more you click, the higher your score goes up. The game has been popular since the free browser version came out ages ago, but its Steam port only landed last week. The developers decided to take full advantage of Steam’s character limits for this new release, adding a hilariously long achievement title that reads:

“There’s really no hard limit to how long these achievement names can be and to be quite honest I’m rather curious to see how far we can go. Adolphus W. Green (1844–1917) started as the Principal of the Groton School in 1864. By 1865, he became second assistant librarian at the New York Mercantile Library; from 1867 to 1869, he was promoted to full librarian. From 1869 to 1873, he worked for Evarts, Southmayd & Choate, a law firm co-founded by William M. Evarts, Charles Ferdinand Southmayd and Joseph Hodges Choate. He was admitted to the New York State Bar Association in 1873. Anyway, how’s your day been?”

Yup, that’s the actual title! A reward for baking ten sextillion cookies per second, it seems. That title is a brief summary for Adolphus W. Green, the founder of Nabisco PC Gamer reported Monday. It seems the developers wanted to shout out the grandfather of tasty snacks for some reason.
