Heya!
Nice to meet you all.
I'm a french student in computer engineering that recently moved to be closer to its school.
So,
I always had a thing for puzzles, I tried a lot of things such as dovetails, magic copters, boxes... and I was curious about Rubik's.
As I moved in my new flat( start of September) I stumbled upon a relic of the past that the previous student left.
A Rubik's cube ! (it was weird as it was sticker less)
Called him to let him know, he said " I don't want to touch that thing again" (multiples pops and locks later I knew why :,-) turns out it is a dayan zhanchi).
So anyway I started cubing intuitively. I went for the first face and quickly realized it needed to be redone to fit the centers to make a layer.
Then the second layer wasn't much more complicated and then last layer... I tried so many things like break something and getting it back in another way ... Nothing would do.
Eventually ( also accidentally) I got the oll right and got a pll h , I tried a few slices turns and solved it . That's It... I was hooked, scrambled it and tried again and never got anything but Gperms or dot olls so I wouldn't know what to do.
Frustrated , I went online and oh boy I was not ready. Feliks, Max park, tommy cherry, Jperm, Matt Valks... All these legendary cubers doing it in seconds , one handed and ... BLD !!? I had to try it.
So as of November, i started learning cfop and 3 style for the 3x3 and I bought a 4x4 and a 5x5 from mgc so I am learning yau .
I bought a megaminx with pyraminx from gan. I promise I will get something else for 3x3 (Wrm maglev seems about right).
My goal for now is to be sub 20 on 3x3 ( atm I plateau at 25/30) , learn blind ( got speffz and my letter pairs ready ... Why have I chosen to learn blind..) and for big just mastering those parity plus redux with yau will be enough atm.
I also like to play some hardcore vermintide 2 ( modded and some official) and same for deep rock galactic.
I'm off to read and post threads here.
Sry for the long post.
