Kattenvriendin from The Netherlands

Not too bad
Except I just added some maru into my guhong v2 (godly mods), and it became insanely slow
took it apart and realized it was basically filled with plastic sludge
I'll have to clean it out soon, don't quite know why the maru turned the dust into sludge.
I think it'll be all right again when it dries (I hope so)

I love making long posts
How're you?
 
hahahah awwww poor guhong.

Yeah you'll have to take the majority out then and after that break it in like a madman. I made the same sort of mistake. I put a wee bit of new lube in my main a few days ago. Remind me to NOT do that EVAH AGAIN right.

cube slooooow, fingers tiiiiiirredddd from the cube feeling like bricks. I already cleaned it out of course, and just now it finally feels again like it used to.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.


Doing good. Just ate a wee bit too much candy I think... uuuuuugghh. Hehe. Otherwise peachy thank goodness. :)
 
funny thing is it's not even new
my friend bought it a long time ago (it was a lubix fusion, actually)
it was pretty perfect, but he decided to mod it, and afterwards, he got bored., put vegetable oil in it, and (don't ask me why) put it in the microwave
o the core is kinda melted a little bit, but not too much.
he asked me to fix it.
I think the mush stuff is from the modding

the inside of the cube smells something absolutely awful. you could use it as knockout gas. I think the vegetable oil went rancid. ugh.

anyway, the maru is drying out now, and it's going back to normal
thank goodness, but I'm still going to clean it eventually.
tons of cube dust=bad

If you ever need a new core and screw and spring set, they sell them on hknowstore, just send them a message :)

The microwave??

The guy needs a slappin' for disrespecting da cube!
 
There.. did an average of 50 and I have the last solves of the session 45 till 50 on film!

The film will have to wait a little bit of course ;)

That 46? Messed up cross. UGH!


Every now and then my fingers get in a bunch.. for some reason then I don't dare to turn the cube out of fear it'll fly out of my hands.
I have ordered new cubesmith textured tiles, so when those come in they'll get put on the cube and that should HOPEFULLY sort that. The texture's worn off LOL

I also cut the inner corners of the stickers off (the ones on the corner pieces), and will do this per default on the new tiles as well.

Damn girl... You are doing great!! I remember you doing double these times not so long ago...
 
Ok yeah that is a lot of 20s lol

I find that the cross is getting so much easier, where in the past I had trouble with it. I can plan it much better and it is now the focus on the first pair where I mostly lose time. :)
 
The video has uploaded!

Just a wee bit to finish processing and then it'll be live right here:

As for passing your times.. not yet! ;) too many still above the norm hehe

I would not suggest a new core, but a complete new cube in that special case.

Surprisingly, the core is almost completely fine, just a little of it kinda melted and formed a disgusting lump of plastic that I sanded off
And somehow, after cleaning it, it's magic
the only problem now is that it has barely any lube in it and I'm out of silicone oil, gonna order some soon
And also that the dang corners twist SO MUCH!
blarg, probably just me

The microwave??

The guy needs a slappin' for disrespecting da cube!

Yes, I slapped him at lunch a while back. Everyone at our table cheered, and no teachers noticed.
It was funny :D
 
I am now awake because of a coughing fit .. tickle coughs are ugh.

anyway.. I started solving the 4x4x6 today, very carefully because of an issue with the core (new one got shipped yesterday, so yay!) and I can manage it so far. Was able to solve the centers like a 4x4, was able to solve the edges like the 4x4, and brought it back to cubic form rather easily.

I followed the tut by CBCuber and didn't need much help with that save for the "first this then that" thingie. Now before I went to other things I learned to do the centers and got all that done and tomorrow.. today rather.. I will be learning how to get the remainder solved.

No hiccups at all, everything is going just peachy and I love this cuboid (it's the only one I have aside from a 3x3x2 that I can solve as long as I have the algos on a peek sheet for it).

So.. happy with how well things are going I put it aside, did some work on the computer that needed doing and went to bed.

Eeeevery time I fall asleep I start dreaming of the thing!! :eek: And not a nightmare either.. noo.. I can solve it just fine every single time.. but.. gah.. I have solved it enough already!

YO BRAIN.. listen to me you brain.. solving it during the day while awake is good enough ya hear. Learning the steps to solve it I can do during the day. Night is for sleeping, not cubing.. kay?

Cuboid must have made an impression, I bet. :D
 
I've had cubing dreams before too! It was very similar. Not exactly bad, I just wanted to relax and not think instead of constantly solve cubes in my head all night.

Glad you're enjoying the 4x4x6 though!
