Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

I guess I'm spamming on this thread now :D
I recently got back into MBLD practice after a seven month break. My current PB is 12/13 in 57:44. Yesterday, the second attempt after the break was pretty fast (7/9 in 25:56). So I decided to try 17 cubes today. Unfortunately, I really struggled with memo and recall, so I went 4:31min over the hour and didn't expect too much. But when I removed the blindfold and found all (!) cubes solved, the time was the least of my concerns. It is such an amazing experience to get a perfect MBLD attempt with so many cubes. I can't wait so see how far more practice will take me in the coming weeks.
 
Starting a few weeks ago, I finally started to put some practice into 4BLD, getting my times down from around 15 minutes to 10-11 minutes, and have even managed a few sub-9 minute times (all unrecorded except for this one: 4BLD - Sub-9 (YouTube)). For comparison my official WCA comp PB is 22 minutes :p
But I've never been able to get any sort of consistency, and so getting a mean-of-3 has continued to elude me. Until today... I wasn't specifically going for the mean, but was still going slower and safer I guess. I messed up my memo on the 2nd cube with 2 centres from the same face coming one straight after the other. But during execution I was able to figure out which was the bogus letter and repair the memo. When I saw the 3rd successfully solved cube, I was so relieved. Finally I have my 4BLD Mo3 - 11:17.05.

This time I did a magic square blind without the additional 16. (If you want to know how I "found" that magic square, just read the description in the vid.)
