The "I quit / pause / return / change / etc." thread

[Selkie]

Well over a year since last comp but never stopped casual solves nearly every day.

Time to return to more active practice and get these old wrinkly hands ready for another competition

I QUIT

Roblox.

 

[nuurhasan]

I quit:
I quit making daily, pointless, crappy, useless funny graphics for my Facebook page.

I'll Change:
My completely defensive attitude.

I like cubing, infact I have my own puzzle site BrainTrainingApp

I also quit playing Android puzzle games. They started to bore me to be honest.

Not sure if it counts but I will quit smoking too

 

[ketchuphater999]

I quit making fun of microsoft...


on second thought, no. its just too fun.


It's been a year since my last comp, last time I checked, and I'm going to one! yay! I'm back!(or have been for about a month)

 

[RjFx2]

I return after a couple months of non-cubing, but I'm back and will be going to a competition.

 

[hawkmp4]

I return after 4 years of not cubing. My Gigaminx sucked me back in...

 

[PJKCuber]

I think I'll quit speedcubing for 2-3 weeks. But I am going only going to do BLD during that time.

YAAYYY cubing

 

[PJKCuber]

I think I'll take a month off.

Fully switched to ZZ. It is just too fun and I am barely slower than CFOP. 18 secs with CFOP 22 with ZZ.
Learning full COLL right now; algs for both 2H and OH. Going to use all the easy WV as well.

 

[pappas]

Had a break for a few years and my interest has returned.

 

[Lazy Einstein]

Glad you are back. Much has changed. Enjoy the plethora of cube chooses for every puzzle now.

Cheers for the warm welcome.

I'm officially back. After about five months of inactivity. I've been active on the forums for about two months now but now I'm active in comps and stuff again. Cheers for somehow dropping from a 35 average to a 21 average

Yay! Good job! I don't really think that full COLL is worth it though because executing the sune and doing PLL is faster than the COLL sune algs.

Nice, that happened to my 5x5 average too. I left my cube unstickered, and when I finally got around to solving it, my average dropped by at least 30 seconds.

I fully plan to learn full ZBLL. So I am learning COLL to master recognition. I am already done full COLL now anyway.
Chose my algs, practiced them and am only solving ZZ with COLL/EPLL now. I have started on the T cases for ZBLL too.

But yeah.

School is insane right now. 2 tests a week minimum for the last 5 weeks. I also have several assignments and labs that are due in the next few weeks. I pretty much can't cube at all for the next month. Once a week or so I am going to try to drill all my COLL once or twice just to make sure I don't forget them.
But once the Christmas break starts I am doing minimum 100 solves a day using ZZ with COLL/EPLL. Hopefully by the new year I can be onto learning full ZBLL.

tl;dr - School is unreal busy. Can barely cube if at all till the holiday break(Till mid December).

Wow, full ZBLL should be really useful with ZZ if you can master it

had to get stitches in my thumb, had to stop for 3 weeks :'( back and better than ever though

 

[Owen]

I missed my 5 year anniversary of joining this website. November 2nd, 2009. A day to remember for sure. :')

 

[PJKCuber]

I am back after a 2 week break. I'm just gonna do BLD attempts now. Got bored of speedsolving
