Any news bro? How have you been!

Wow! That's really fast!
Those are some good numbers!
Thanks a lot. I'm happy with this for now. If I ever decide to start competing and want to improve my times, I'd love for you to coach me.
Everything's good, bro! How about you?

Got tired again bro. Yesterday was, in a word, a disaster. But today is still new!
What are your summer plans?

What happened? Yeah, it's a new day!
My plans for the summer? Well, I'll just take it as it comes—relaxing at home and doing things, and maybe heading out somewhere.
What are your summer plans?

Drill big cubes when I can.
I am a big cube freak
But been busy trying to help my parents deliver groceries for people. And that takes up most my day. So...
How long have you been cubing?

Awesome!
That's great—we all have our own preferences.
Wow! Do you guys have a food delivery service?
I get it—it's exhausting. But hang in there!
I got into Rubik's Cubes in 2016, and since then I've been practicing and learning, at my own pace, of course

Walmart has a system we use. I honestly would rather find an actual job, but this is ok for now.
The best way to learn is at your own pace bro!
Since 2016 is cool yo! What grabbed your attention to start?

Well, for now, just keep at it and check out some of the work. Yeah! I'm taking it slow, collecting things too and solving them!
How did you get started?

By chance, I started watching videos of a Spanish Rubik’s Cube enthusiast who collected lots of cubes; his videos were entertaining, and the puzzles he showed were really beautiful. Eventually, it caught my attention. I remembered I had a small Rubik’s Cube I’d won at a bowling alley, so I tried scrambling it and solving it, but I used a tutorial. And ever since then!

AWESOME!
My older bro got me started. In 2017 I solved 2x2 twice and quit for a year.
Then in 2019 I started trying it on 3x3
In 2020 I got soooo bored I just tried it and practiced hardcore ever since then!
Among your collection, which was your most expensive one?

Great! That's a great start!
The most expensive piece in my collection so far is a wooden golden cube made by Tony Fisher that I bought directly from him. It cost $290.

How does it work?

They made a commercial version. It's a ghost skewb. The cuts make it hard to solve because they're confusing.

I had one before. I could never solve it completely. The centers were the only things unsolved when I had it

They're discontinued now. Yeah! The centers are a pain to align!
I'm going to see if I can find the Megaminx MF8 V1 for Minetoucubing.

Yay! Thanks for helping him!

Yo bro!
How has the hunt been for the megaminx?
How have you been?
For some reason I feel it has been a while since we talked. Probably just me, I tend to do a ton of stiff here.

Hi bro!
I looked for the Megaminx model, but couldn't find it. It's an old model and it's hard to find.
I'm doing well—a little busy, too. How about you?
Don't worry

Eh. Nothing worth saying really. I beat my record today! My fastest average for 3x3 is now 14.48 I think, if I remember correctly. I keep track of my progress in the forums here.
What would I worry about? I might be missing something...or misunderstanding what was said...sorry

Wow! Congratulations! I'm glad to see your progress. I just meant that you shouldn't worry if you feel like we don't talk much. We'll talk when we can!
