My problem with the GTS2M (I'll not say with magnetic cubes in general as I only have this one) is not with M slices, as I do not use M-slice algs in OH. In this case the problem is generally turning the cube. That initial effort to get the movement started that with two hands is like nothing...

Thanks for the advice. Then I will not complain about bad quality control by Moyu and will assume that's the way it is with magnetic 3x3s. Anyway, it didn't take that much time to locate the piece with the loose magnets and glue them back. In fact I found it so easy I might end up using those...

Yeah, this BLD virus is highly contagious :p I am resisting myself only because I don't have that much time to cube any more... Anyway I wanted to say hi again to all my friends here, I don't want you to forget about me yet :) After some months without practising and a summer where I had time...

WoW @mark49152 that's impressive accuracy! Congratulations on the gold medal. A pity it was not PB. Didn't you just get the same result in Worlds? So, was this slower than that or what?

Oh my! Also coming in the mail now a Dayan Tangram Extreme, a Penrose 3x3 from Z Cube, a Calvin Hexaminx and a XingHen M 2x2. Being ill is very bad news for my wallet because I buy cubes like they were pills to get better.

Yeah, these two dodecahedrons seem pretty intimidating. Started trying to come up with some commutators / piece cycles to solve them but still nothing. I also ordered a 2x2 mirror blocks (missing in my collection), a Dayan Tangram Extreme and the new Moyu Fisher Time Wheel.

@muchacho, a honey copter? Is that the redi cube with heart shaped edges? Look what I got today in the mail from Los Mundos de Rubik:

With that said, most of us here are over 40 or at least close to that. I'm 47, for example. Welcome to the forum anyway, if you feel old enough to hang out here with us, then we are more than happy to have you ;)

Hi guys, another long break without posting here. Welcome to the new people in the forum and congrats again to everyone making so much progress in 3BLD. I had to stop practising before finishing my 4th Ao1000 at skewb, when I was very, very close to sub-8. Around 8.01 to 8.07 but I got sick and...

I'm starting to think that's one of the main reasons I find it so difficult to improve past the sub-19/ sub-18 barrier. When I find nice F2L cases I can easily get a 15 to 16 second solve, even with a normal, not specially lucky LL, but when F2L cases get nasty I am happy if I can sub-20 that...

Defective batches of the WuQue should be cleared by now, unless you bought it from a small store that moves small amounts of cubes and still had early stock for sale. The 1st WuQue I bought was seemingly from one of those early batches and it was slow and popped once in a while but still very...

I just finished my first solve of the Bermuda Venus. I bought that one because I wanted something easy but a bit challenging and the Mercury one seemed not much harder than a normal fisher cube. It was more difficult than I thought it would be and I was so desperate at some point that I checked...

Round 555 (Alumni) Method: CFOP DCN Cube: Weilong GTS2 avg of 12: 18.78 18.50, 18.35, 19.21, 17.49, (21.00), 19.80, 19.21, 18.10, (16.85), 18.39, 19.20, 19.47[orange] Done with stackmat and, oh man! It's a completely different story. My hands are shaking during PLL, trying to save some time...

Yeah, same here. To the point of being maybe 0.5s slower or more with stackmat. So, I'm probably 1s slower than I thought I was at 3x3 :(

Practising a lot lately with stackmat since I managed to connect it to csTimer. If I ever go to a comp I will be better prepared now. Finished my 3rd skewb Ao1000 this vacation and dropped another half a second from 8.77 to 8.23. Also improved all PBs except for single. Ao100 now sub-8 (7.78)...

@earth2dan you mean the FeiTeng 57mm? Should I order one? :) Regarding the WuQue I think you will end up loving it, I did and I was fond of my G4, as you will probably remember. Then I got a magnetic WuQue and now I'm in love with it :) Welcome @openseas.

That pic gives me shivers! I hope you recover completely and as fast as possible.

You know you are going to do it so, c'mon, don't make it last longer than it has to. Pull the trigger already! :) I have a cart right now in zcube with a Bauhinia, a Bermudaminx and the SS 4-layer Pyraminx but it's $60 including shipping and I have bought too many cubes recently and the Bauhinia...

Wow! That looks like a very interesting project. I wish I had time and ability to do things like that (and like modding cubes, etc.) :) EDIT: Finished my second skewb Ao1000 since learning intermediate. Improved more than 1 second, from 9.94 to 8.77. At this pace in 6000 solves I can break the...

If you decide to get a stackmat and you can affort it I'd go for the new Speedstacks Gen 4 timer. The only reason I went for the cheaper Yuxin is that the Spanish Speedstacks store is very expensive and other options (like ordering from TheCubicle), with shipping costs and all weren't much...
