In your opinion, what is the most negative thing that cubing has affected you?

While this state of mind may fit for being solely focused on speedsolving, there's far more to the twisty puzzle world than just going fast on the WCA basics. Perhaps, were you to look into more complicated twisty puzzles, you may actually be able to find a companionship between the more complicated puzzles and the chessboard. If she moves, he can't, unless I move that first, which might block that.

Don't shame twisty puzzles to just the basics.

Trust me, I have delved deep into the complexities of cubing. I have analyzed and created many methods, techniques, algsets, concepts, etc. I have created a universal eocross solver, a revolutionary program for zz solvers including my former self; and created zsolve, a fully generalized batch solver for any conceivable permutation group puzzle: my ultimate work that is proof of concept for my generalization ideas.

It just gets lame once you realize there's nothing much more in cubing to be discovered.

Premature release that I am working on 5-style in 2018.

The algset was not ready then and I had to extrapolate and ponder to clear out some queries.

Ever try something more complicated than a, what do you call it, cube? You can't solve Eitan's Star if all you know how to do and understand is CFOP.

I have no interest in obscure twisty puzzles. They are still the same stuff: permutation group puzzles. I've basically completely wrapped my head around this type of puzzle in general and have determined it is of no interest. And I understand and have done way more than just CFOP, in case you haven't realized.

hey are still the same stuff: permutation group puzzles

That is why God gave us clock.

 

[ruffleduck]

That is why God gave us clock.

That too is a permutation puzzle, I'm afraid.

In my case, currently reading the cubing forum not homework!

in my case on here instead of paying attention in class

 

[TheSpeedSkewber]

Balancing cubing with school and other hobbies such as Yu-Gi-Oh! I have also, regretablly spent an amount on cubes that i would be ashamed to say .

Clock is a unique event in the fact that each solve requires a decent amount of memorization of the opposite face, and the fact that it is more (and im not saying other events arent) skill based in that it requires 0 algs.

Cubing has taught me that I can't be perfect at everything. I used to average sub 11 back in 2021, and I haven't improved ever since.

In your opinion, what is the most negative thing that cubing has affected you?
For example: I can’t just stop it.

ye probably the fact that I can't stop it.

Same here. I have to balance out cubing, chess, CAP, Running, and school.

 

[OldSwiss]

Definitely the cost for people who aren't adults

I think cubing even saved me some money.

Before cubing I played PC and Playstation games but after a couple of weeks I've finished most of them and had to buy a new one.
I usually I wait a little and buy them for the price of a budget cube. but if you always want to play the newes games it's the price of a Flagship cube every couple of weeks.
If you buy a cube you can play it more or less forever.

Since I've started cubing I just bought a single game and haven't finished it yet.

I didn't cube all day yesterday because I had home schooling, Minecraft, Jiu Jutsu, and lego robotics camp.

Tbh i only get round to cubing twice or thrice a week unless i make a special effory

Exactly what I am doing

yeah. Cubing is a hard hobby to stick to with so many other things to do.

 

[NigelTheCuber]

Nothing cubing is perfect

Apart from sastisfaction

I've "wasted" a lot of time cubing. But let's look at the bright side. Cubing helped me find friends and (one could argue) that it helped me through some depression a couple years back.

Yeah me too! It helped my gain a lot of friends last year (and maybe this year also).
