    Did you like cubing more as a beginner, intermediate cuber or an advanced cuber ?

    I think I was most into cubing in 2020. I frequented the forum way more and kept up with a lot of the method development; exciting times, I remember them well. I've been cubing, on and off, since 2008ish so I go through phases of interest. I pretty much always cube casually tho. Since 2020 I've...

    One Word Puzzle Reviews

    Thread for cube reviews in as few words as possible. Though it was an interesting exercise to come up with more creative ways to describe the feeling of cubes outside of classic buttery/sandy/crunchy/etc. WRM V1: Granola. 4/5 Guhong Pro: Champaign. 4.5/5 Weilong GTS2M: Butter. Straight butter...

    How did you guys get sub-x in any event?

    2x2: Sub-5 (guimond) Haven't put a lot of practice into 2x2 in general. Haven't finished learning all the algs either. Mostly TPS and planning ahead in inspection. 3x3: Sub-20 (roux/ssrc) Got to sub-30 just with basic knowledge and some suboptimal blockbuilding. Sub-25 was after I learned COLL...

    Website Rule Clarification

    I think, perhaps, you are misunderstanding why I'm bringing up the points that I am. I agree that this isn't a democracy - I'm not here to flame the mods nor do I believe that the mods are somehow "taking away my rights" or that they're persecuting me or anything silly like that. When you sign...

    Website Rule Clarification

    Well, that the whole point of the thread. If the rules are unclear then how do I know if I am staying within them? I don't think it would be in good taste to post a thread talking about how substances affect cubing when I just watched a thread removed for, I assume, that very reason. Well...

    Website Rule Clarification

    So recently the was a post along the lines of "cubing under the influence", which I saw was promptly removed. I'm not sure if this was by request of the poster or something that was removed directly by moderators. This post is assuming the later. Regardless, I looked through the forum rules to...

    Hi guys. I've been really getting into Shoot 'em up (Shmup) games recently. I am currently working on 1CC-ing (1 credit clear. Basically beat the game without using continues) Danamku Unlimited 3, Gunvein, Crimzon Clover, and Ikaruga. Interested to see if anyone else is as obsessed as I am :P...

    What's the best 4x4 method?

    A necropost is when you bump a thread that's like 5+ years old AND it is a low effort post (eg one word replies). As long as you have sometime relevant to post which seeks to contribute to the discussion, its fine. However, generally, I recommend using the search tool to find if there is any...
