25. I'm the one who needs advice here
26. HuaMeng TG it's very controllable and also fast

28. I mean I glued magnets back into my TV3
29. A cube, duh

lol uhh my averages have gotten worse! actually, my 3x3 avg went from aging 22-sub20 to sub 25, sometimes crazy pauses and mess ups and give me 30s solves (rarely)
I do 3x3, onehanded and sometimes 5x5? I rarely practice 3bld but im planning to after my 3x3 onehanded grind, I stopped with 2x2 because it broke, imma buy a new one soon
I main 3x3 and hopefully onehanded soon, and if I had my 2x2 id main 2x2 aswell
I don't know
never done skewb or clock so I can't answer
yes you are him
worst event? uhh idk
to be honest? I don't care, just that Kevin is more rare for me, call e whatever u want

and lastly no this is not too many questions lmao
