Used to solve 3x3 in 20~30 secs, but now I probably solve it in 45. I can also solve the 2x2, but never have timed myself.

Starting to learn again. I stopped a few months ago cuz I just couldn’t beat my record. Boy did I lose a lot of time over that break! My current record is like 10 seconds under my all time record. Yuck! And I forgot about half of the algorithms I knew over that break too, including the ones for solving a 5_5_5 and 6_6_6. Got to admit though, I tried learning fridrich, but I just can’t stand memorizing things, so I’m sticking with roux :-[

Even though I use cfop, I would reccomend staying with roux

I forgot how fun cubing can be. For example, just a few minutes ago I was practicing my blind solve. I have assigned certain certain stickers on the cube to be certain letters, and I'm trying to think of words that start with those letters that makes an easy-to-remember story. This is kind of a formula I have. I memorize a few letters, until I come up with a combination I can't find a word for. So, for example, h, a, q; so what I do is I add three letters to "ha" and get "Hardy"; the q would be unlikely to get a u immediately following it, so I add three letters to "q" to get "quit." "Hardy quit." This process continues until I get something let's say like this: "Hardy quit going home." Gobbledygook of course, but what that sequence is is, h, a, q, g, o, and h. It's so challenging but it can be fun.

Isn’t it incredible how bad you can do on the final solve?

Blind solve successful! First try in forever, so that felt really good. I didn’t have any parity though, and three pieces started solved, so it was easy enough. Gotta learn r-perm.

It was a much easier one than normal. You know technically you can solve a cube blind with only y perm.
Btw, world, new pb!!! My first sub-30: 29.2. My old was 30. I spiked a tissue box lol

Okay guys, I seriously need a new cube. Mine’s pretty horrible, so I’m looking for a good cube under $10, maybe $15. Any ideas?

really fast but I can control it just fine. Got my 22.47 solve with it ;D (thats good for me lol). It doesn’t pop too often and is fairly smooth.

That’s even better for me lol. How much does it cost? I don’t trust myself to finding it at the correct price online.
Any other cubes I should think about?
