So the moral of the story is that you need to have somebody next to you while you’re practicing telling you to get sub-10s.

This has actually been proven to work. Remember Feliks got the 4.22 WR single right after somebody told him to get a sub-5?So the moral of the story is that you need to have somebody next to you while you’re practicing telling you to get sub-10s.

So, theoretically, if my friend told me to get a new PB I would?

First sub-1 minute solve with square 1 just a day after learning how to solve it. I average 2-3 minutes currently. Hope to get better soon. Highlighted scramble is scramble used.
Just started the solve, done 1st 2 centres in 31m each then had to take a break. Alignment is a b1tch...
Will continue later, or tomorrow... 
Finally completed the15x15 solve, in 3 sessions... And the time was...Just started the solve, done 1st 2 centres in 31m each then had to take a break. Alignment is a b1tch...
3h22m34s - Phew!!
A little longer than I expected, mainly due to the aforementioned alignment issues. No pops, although one close call!

Long(ish) story, but I guess that it qualifies as an accomplishment lol. Yesterday I was out with my Dad, walking around Carytown, a local small business district. I had a 3x3 with me just because. We walked into an electronics store just to look around. I let an employee scramble my 3x3 then gave a quick run through of how a solve goes. During the solve, I gained a small audience. A kid, around maybe 13 or so, and his Grandfather were both among the interested parties. The kid was fascinated by my explanation and the puzzle itself. After I finished the solve he had a couple of questions, he asked his grandpa if he could get a, "Rubrik's" cube later. Grandpa smiled and nodded yes. Then he told the kid that he used to be able to solve one of those when they first came out. I did a quick scramble and handed the puzzle to Grandpa and said, "I'll bet you still can." He looked a little taken aback, but grabbed the puzzle. With a few tips from me along the way, he managed a pretty decent beginners method solve in about five minutes or so. His grandson was amazed and had a huge smile on his face. I couldn't resist, I handed the kid the solved puzzle, introduced myself, and told him that with a little bit of practice he'd be able to solve it faster than his Grandpa in no time. He was so happy, I don't think that I've ever seen anyone smile so big in my life. I gave him a quick run through about how the puzzle works and how the pieces can be moved. I wrote down a few websites that he could use to learn the basics and told him to have fun learning a new, unique skill. I doubt I'll ever see him again, but I felt so great knowing that I'd made his day. Who knows, maybe a new puzzle is just what he needed.

I came back from the graves of cubing, now around high 20s/ 30s and got 2(3 if you count plus twos at home) sub 20s. I have switched to Roux because my CFOP is completely trash now.

18:02.88 gigaminx solve, first sub20
I'd like to get to a point where sub10 is comfortable. Breaking in the cube will definitely help... Shengshou makes a lot of puzzles, whether or not they're that good is certainly debatable.

I got a gigaminx about a month ago, and I did one untimed solve. I should try doing a couple timed solves if I ever have any free time. How many solves have you done?

I'm impressed! I'm not sure that I've ever done a gigaminx solve in one sitting, let alone timed. Usually it's one of my super casual puzzles. I'll do a few sections in between other puzzles or during commercials on TV lol. You might have just motivated me to time a full solve later today just for my own curiosity.
