wow, sub-10 fullstep with v perm. that is quite nice

i tried the scramble and got a 12.00, decent for me.

and it's cool how you got 3 free pairs lol

yeah it's the turn slow and look ahead thing, 4 tps so I could actually see things

guess who just accidentally deleted their entire 3x3 solves session... definitely not me

I typed the times back in since I have a ✨progression thread✨

You did that in 40 minutes!?!?!?!
How many solves do you have?
If I did that at a speed of 1 time/second for my session, it would take me about 3.5 hours.

I loaded a backup and then I input the times. It was just 200 solves (3x3 and 4x4) since I have recent ao100s here. It was easy tbh. As for how many solves I have, this much

Wise Words with Etim
For the cross I could have solved it with L F2 R2 but I saw the Blue Red and I knew I could save it if I solved the Blue Cross piece first, so I swapped the R2 and then F2. And now for pair 4, I knew that doing triple sexy would skip OLL in this case

There's also a second way to solve it the case, when all the corners are oriented, you can do a triple sledge to skip OLL.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

When I get the all corners oriented case, I do this:
U2 (setup) R2 U2 R2' U' R2 U' R2'
Also skips OLL
Cool to know that triple sledge skips OLL, but I think doing sledge too many times fast is more likely to mess up.

This is what happens when you have too much free time.

My mum just ceased my 3x3 and 4x4. Gotta love her.

At this point I'm just done. What the point of having a hobby if it's still going to always annoy them? I played games, they didn't like it, I stopped playing games. I learnt how to solve a cube and now they don't like it. I guess I'll just **** off and write a book if it makes them happy.

I think that sometimes. Mostly because some of my family loves cubing and some of my family hates cubing. I just put all my cubes and everything in a closet for a week and then I always come back to it. The only reason I come back is this quote:
Richard P. Feynman Quote: “You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be...”

If they don't like cubing, that's fine. If they want you to write a book, you don't have to. It's your life. You can do whatever you want with it. Don't always do what makes other people happy. Do what makes you happy. If you want someone to be happy, go buy them a candy bar (unless there vegan, then you have a problem).

F.Y.I, to avoid any confusion, what I love in life is serving God, among cubing, family, and YouTubing.
