I'm sorry for not posting my solves for yesterday and today. I'm a bit busy as my cousin caught the virus and my family is trying to support them, luckily they didn't get any symptoms other than fevers.

I will be back soon!

Glad to see you're working on capitalizing your "I"s!

Hi, moh. I hope things are improving over there for you. Take care, and come back but only when you are ready.

 

[moh_33]

thanks for the support my cousin is feeling better, but we still couldnt find a hospital with empty rooms
I think in a couple days I'll get back to timing solves

hey @moh_33 how is it going?

Its been going better, my cousin got tested again 3 days ago and it came out negative which is great, i got my first vaccination dose mid july and am getting my second dose in a week or so

For cubing im a bit distracted with chess so i may not be as serious in cubing as usual, other than that ive been popping around the ss forum and looking at advice/tips/new members/and Dan i just saw his new beginners roux yesterday night i believe? Its surprising to me that Dan managed to make up new-ish methods for beginners even though hes still learning as well

Its been a while since i touched a cube so i will be rusty but im hoping to have time to continue the "quest" as school has started again

I will see yall soon i hope, and stay safe
(P.s its almost 9 pm so i do have time to chat around)

Thanks, moh. Nice to hear from you. Yes, I am happy with my "creations", esp. the second DBR (my customised Roux like hybrid method). The fixed cube position (same colours facing you and same colour scheme) in Roux is very useful for quick recognition of the colour patterns and moves to make, esp when it comes to last layer corner orientation time. When you have time, have at look at my latest and greatest, a cube mod, the DSM, just posted. (Dan's Special Mod) With the mod, it is the best smartcube that money can (cannot?) buy. This:

The Best Smartcube?! Moyu Weilong 2021 AI Cube with Magnet Adjustment (DSM)

The Moyu AI Cube does not have a magnet strength adjustment system, but the Moyu Weilong WRM 2021 does. The sizes and colours of the two cubes are practically speaking identical. So I swapped their pieces and got this. I did not swap the centre caps. Does it work? Yes, everything including...

I'm still learning, very slowly. Just managed to get a sub 1m solve a few days ago. 59.65s Wow!!! Not aiming to break any WR any time soon, but making sure I continue on the journey, smell the flowers, explore less trodden paths, and happy with what little improvement I get occassionally. Thanks for the encouragement.

Take care.

Hello there Sorry for disappearing so suddenly, everything went smoothly, i just got a yj magic cube for a dollar and decided it would be fun to return to the ss forums.
Heres my first 12 solves with my new cube

best single : 24.70 [New PB ]
best mo3 : 26.98
best ao5 : 28.47 [New PB]
ao12 : 29.39 [New PB]

Over all a lotta new pb's which i am honestly surprised to see as its been months since i touched a 3x3, i guess my hands fit better with this cube

 

[moh_33]

Im taking a slow start so expect me to miss some days for a while
anyway this is todays solves

today i couldnt recognize cases as fast as yesterday
