7BLD DNF again - 40:07.37 [18:05]
went really safe and thought it would be a success
off by 4c, 4m, 6lo, 2ro, 4i+, 2ix, 4o+, 4ox, 8iw, 8ow
Corners and midges can be solved with R U2 R', so I'm almost certain that I did a setup move forwards when I was supposed to undo it.
Now it's been a year since my first 3BLD success but I still haven't gotten a 7BLD :(

5x5 MBLD - 1/2 in 20:15.29 [9:37]
first attempt
my slow Shengshou was solved but my AoChuang was off by 6+, 2x, 8w, 4m, 4c
 
First MBLD attempt ever, and I'm quite satisfied. First cube was a success, second cube was off only by two flipped edges, and I forgot parity fix for the third cube.

:(

I suppose 3/7 is cool
 
I just did the most stupid thing a human being could possibly do: I memorised my cube with the wrong orientation (an x2 away) and executed with the wrong orientation, and didn't notice the entire time. It was a big DNF - all the centres were wrong!
 
4BLD DNF - 2:44.71 off by 3 centers because I forgot to execute DS :( would have been awesome
first attempt at 4BLD today
At least it was followed by a 3:06 success with wing and corner parity, so I think I'm close to consistent low 3's now

also got another sub-20 6BLD DNF for the weekly comp :(
 
BLD fails at my comp today:
7:55 5BLD DNF, did midge parity instead of wing parity at the end -_-
4/25 MBLD, gave up in between after having recall issues :'(
DNFed 4BLD

:(

Out of 7 attempts, only 3 successes, all of which were over a minute away from my PB. I gave up after my fourth DNF. I swear that my accuracy is getting worse.
 
I'm just starting out so tried a corners only OP solve. I felt it had gone well. My memo produced some really filthy words so was very easy and I was confident with the solve but when I looked it was completely scrambled as I'd somehow got it in the wrong orientation. This is going to be hard to master.
