I picked up an MGC 5x5 and have enjoyed the solves so much more vs. my old QiYi. I'm still glacially slow (over 5 mins) because I refuse to learn any more algs and I also end up 2-looking OLL and PLL fairly often because a respectable number of my 3x3 LL algs end in failure. That hasn't stopped me from binge-solving since I got it though.
I also got a Square-1 that I'm hoping to figure out on my own, being in no particular hurry. With enough fiddling I can get it back to cubic shape and will continue toying around to see if I can come with some algs from there.
Not much news on 3x3 in a while. I had a good spell a few weeks ago where I threatened my Ao5 (17.57) and just missed by like a few tenths. My top 10 singles are all under :14 now, after a sudden burst of 13s including a few full-step ones. I've had less practice time recently and the new 5x5 has stolen most of that, plus I haven't been timing as much again either. I'm still maintaining a global in the low-low 20s though, mostly the sup-24 mistake solves keeping me over :20.
