qwr's road to nowhere

Today was a pretty good session. Somehow I thought I got better at tracking F2L corners and edges in one session. Cross and F2L efficiency still need to be improved a lot which is for slow solving sessions.

Mean of 50: 26.96
Single: 19.91
Ao5: 22.24
Ao12: 23.81

cube: rs3m 2020
 
I've been working a lot on tracking F2L and not having too terrible w/y crosses. I keep getting Goddamn G-perms tho which are the last PLLs I haven't learned. I really should...
My times aren't my PR but I feel like I'm improving at a good pace which I haven't felt in the past

single: 20.92
ao5: 23.26
ao12: 25.02
mo50: 26.53
 
I'm fumbling a lot on the Ra perm, even though I'm decent at E perm. It's specifically on D' push with left ring finger. Doing it with right hand doesn't feel right earlier. I'm gonna keep practicing but I may switch back to (R U R' F') (R U2 R' U2) (R' F R) (U R U2 R').

Yeah, you need to use your left hand for that D' push. Just practice the D' push over and over throughout the day, and eventually you'll get pretty good at it.

Little bit late to the party, but how did you plan a trip to nowhere? Did you need a travel agent?
there was a road and it said it was going to nowhere. i guess qwr wanted to go to nowhere because why not. just need car and food and water, no need travel agent. (don't listen to me it was all a joke pls dont hurt me)

lol I have no fear for I have the dwayne johnson the rock on my side
 
I found an old RS3M 2020 I had that had extra magnets installed. It was stickered, had a bit of spring noise, and had a heavier feel than my current RS3M 2020. I had an old RS3M magnet kit so I tried putting them in my main RS3M, but somehow the cube feels clunkier and heavier even when I loosened it.
Apparently the RS3M by itself is 86 g, then the magnets add 3.4 g.

I'll probably change it back tomorrow. Idk what my perfect 3x3 would be like because my turning is incredibly sloppy, especially for PLLs.

edit: I have a GAN 356 X at my bedside and it's still my favorite cube to turn. Very stable without feeling blocky. Maybe strong magnets do help...

I I finally learned the G Perms and thus all of PLL.
Now I feel like an idiot for having done 2-look PLL for my whole life.
(I bet that's how people who know full OLL feel)
Congrats!! I learned ga pretty early on but the last three I left to the end aswell and those were the final stepping stone. I’m halfway through oll and the feeling is definitely more noticeable with pll.
