ddashes's road to Goodness Knows Where | Coming to the unfortunate sad realisation that I am the slowest person on here and it's embarrassing

what does ur name stand for

Oh wow... Not what you think.

Long story short, it goes back a long way in school with anonymous name Kahoot lobbies, so when you typed in your name, it only showed the first letter, then dashes. So it was an ongoing joke I'm ddashes or the dtripledash guy. So its random but it stuck.

After much reflection, internal meditation, soul searching, manifestation and realisation, etc., I have come to realise that I suck at cubing.


Actually, the realisation came a bit more harsh than that. I was looking through the round 1 results for MY OWN COMPETITION (small plug, sign up now) and realised that I was doing the worst in every event I was competing in. Therefore I would likely be the first person to be eliminated.

Now I'm sure all of you are able to take in the shame and ignominy of being eliminated first from yoyr own competition. Like, I literally only just started cubing again last week because I wanted to do the competition. But it seems I am better at cubing competition hosting than beating the cubing competition (does that make me eligible to be a delegate?)

That being said, I want to get to a slightly mediocre standard in cubing measures. Preferably not last. So, I want to improve my weekly competition rankings, in particular my incredible Kinch rating of 3.16. Therefore, I am setting the following goals:

• Don't be last
• Retake my trophy - be better than @Luke Garrett at mirror cube (most important goal)
• Reach a Kinch of 7.5

Maybe I should actually start cubing properly instead of complaining, that might help my ailments. Patronisation is welcome.

Pr singles and avgs in 3x3 and squan bump my kinch up by a measly 0.06. Such an achievement.

Chipped away at my ao100 down to 24.56, another 16 single from B' U B D' L D F' L' D2 R2 B' U2 D2 R2 F2 R2 B L2 F

 

[d---]

Smashed mirror out of the park in weekly comp, pr single and avgs of 46.23 and 53.79. Once again this makes mirror my highest kinch event, 21.11 individual, and overall kinch of 3.32.

 

[d---]

I got my first podium!!!!!!!! It was 2nd/2 in feet
Plus improvements in mirror, I also had the wrist strength to finish a full 4x4 average, which puts my kinch to 3.8. My 4x4 average is 3 seconds better than my pr 5x5 average

 

[d---]

Return, after not being able to cube for a while. 3x3 average was crap, but a 2bld 4mover puts my kinch on 4.2

Inteeesting, I always thought your name was linked to Megaminx notation.

I probably should change my name, either to ddashes, or remove the dashes and become ddashless. No idea which one is better.
