Broke all 3 of my previous 4x4 records that were in my sig from 6 years ago or so. Had already broken the PB single but just broke that AGAIN, the best avg5 and the best avg12 all in one sitting! How cool!

Old avg5 was like 54.xx
Old avg12 was I think 56.8

I popped off for the 44 haha, the 47, and the 48.

ANNNDDD we finished the sesh with a 59.73 avg100! Yippee!
 
It just depends on how good you are at other big cubes. My second solve was sub-20 I'm pretty sure, but I average like 3:30 on 7x7.
Yeah, that makes since. I only have up to 5x5(other than 9x9), and I average like 4 on it lol
I average about 2:30-2:40 on 5x5 and about 7-8 with a MF6, I really need to get an MGC.
 
I've spent the last few days working on Ortega. I did my first ever timed 2x2 solves today and while there is a disappointing amount of +2 & DNFs I'm pretty satisfied with this ao100. 2x2 never seemed interesting to me but this session was actually a lot of fun and i think i could really enjoy this event!

14.54 ao100
4.21 PB
(35) solves sub-10 which i was pleased with
(11) solves 30s+ haha. Bad recognition on PBL or messed up the algs...

Edited 2020.05.01 to add:
Did a ao50 and set a new PB single, mo3, ao5, ao12, ao25, ao50! I am feeling great about my 3x3 progress lately and am pumped to keep getting better at my F2L cases and PLL recognition/execution. It took an eternity to get sub-30 and learn PLL but with all this extra time due to coronavirus I'm just breaking one barrier after another. Awesome!

A thread for accomplishments, hence the title, "Accomplishments Thread".

Just post your accomplishments here. I decided to make an accomplishments thread because they have one in TwistyPuzzles and I think it would be nice to have one here too.

I'll start: I've finally gotten around to starting learning CLS! Hooray for me!:D So far, I only know about 6, but I'm learning a few everyday.
Got a 1.308 2x2 Single and 2.234 Ao5 :)

I thought I slightly over inspected on the 5th solve, 36s for scrambling, inspecting, solving and typing in the time seems suspicious but it was the worst time anyway.

I completed an Ao12 (I failed that) after that so I'm proud that I was able to remember the reconstructions.

I finally solved my 4x4 fisher cube! I had quite a time orienting edges and keeping centers intact during edge pairing. I destroyed the centers multiple times while slicing. I also directly paired many edges instead of making a 3 color edge pairs as required...that was a bummer to realize after i solved 8 edges! This was a really fun puzzle!

Total solve time was approximately 6 hours over multiple days haha.
