Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

Im a new blind solver and have only gotten into the event in the last few weeks due to quarantine and I've just had this thought I want to share. I am currently studying french at school and I was wondering if doing memo in 2 languages would have some sort of benefit? I dont have that great of a grasp on bld since I only have 3 successes at the moment so if this sounds dumb that's because it is. I think it could be used for big blind and Mbld for doing different rooms and such.
It's time to bring out 60 different languages for a 60 cube attempt.

I don't know if you could use a room twice with different languages. I tried to use an outside route once in summer and once in winter, but that worked not good - better create another route.
Where I could see an advantage is when you have the same letterpair on different cubes (or sets in bigblind) and get a similar story you could mess up, but why not take for SW starwars and the other time southwest?
In my letterpair-system (I did it myself) I use different languages, because there are not many words in German with "C" or I took that what I thought first: CP=cap, FC=face, HC="haute couture", RF="République française". Another advantage that I see here: you have another "thing" your brain can work with and separate it from other similar expressions, like: if you have CP=cap and HT=hat you probably remember the other one because they are similar. But if you take the german word for hat, which ist "Hut", it should be easier to recall (this is just an example, of course you could take the english hut, too :D But if you still have HS=house, CT=cottage and BR=barrack Hut would be better than hut :D:D).
 
New PB of 2:57.18 - my first sub-3-minute blind solve. I used audio corners. I am finally able to do some think-ahead, recalling and visualizing the next pair while performing a commutator. My memo has also gotten much faster as I have figured out good images for some hard or confusing cases (NI is Nile, NL is noodle, ND is Ned).

I also did some "safety" solves this morning with a goal of 100% accuracy using audio corners. These were about 6 minutes long, which is okay with me, as it's about 50% longer than my times when I'm pushing memo and execution.
 
I don't know why I didn't realize this before, but I can solve odd parity with a pair commutator. If I swap 4 pieces during the solve, making 2 adjacent pairs, doing a D or D' solves one of the pairs and leaves 3 pairs unsolved, leading to a pair commutator. This is much easier to execute on the D face than my prior solution.

For example, here is a U-X-W corner commutator, but with wide U moves for the insertions and an extra D move at the end which fixes parity:

R' L' Uw2 L D L' Uw2 L D' R D

And an alternative commutator, doing the parity conversion as the first move:

D' R' D L' Uw2 L D' L' Uw2 L R

It's the same number of moves as my other parity solution, but I like this one better because it's a single commutator and it's easier to execute on the D face without rotations.

lets gooo i started the session pushing it after a week of rest. got another sub30 dnf and after that i started observing myself rather than trying to push it.
this was the very first after deciding to speed it back up, a sweet sweet 3+6
too bad i wasn't recording :(
the best part is that this is only slighly easier than average im still hyped

Woh nice! Now you should probably learn M2.

3+5
it was actually a +2 (this is a wink to my latest post, altough its true) and im only closing my eyes cause i don't know where i put my watchamacallit, also massive lockups on the edges, overall a pretty forced upload but my credit card was showing on my last one and that made me feel a tad unconfortable so.. i'd like to leave only my first sub25 on yt and substitute my bests till
 
I started using M2 today and I decided to do some solves to improve focus and memo speed for 4BLD and then I got this:

literally the first solve of the session lol

i've reached a whole new level the past few days, the first of today was a 28 and i've only done 8, my success rate has trippled and my SD has halved
im finally as good as i've ever been at bld, after 8 years
 
I don't see one stickied already, so why not :) Post any blindfold or multi-blindfold accomplishments here that you want, especially if you want to keep them separate from the normal speed accomplishments. Please post hundredths if you have them, I'm making a multiple blindfold record list, and I'm interested in getting as many decimal places as you have :)
I got a 49 second solve on 2bld, Idk if that is good enough for this thread but that is what I got!
