Hehe, I find it so cool that some people use or just know my methods, thank you and that's awesome! :D
I really like new methods and ideas, that's why I know yours. It's just a really nice and also low movecount method that doesn't require too much blockbuilding skills and has an easy first step, so on some solves it's even possible to look ahead to CLL. If I weren't already using ZZ, this would have a chance to be my main method.
Here's another solve for you (38 STM):

z
U B R' u // Skis
R2 U' R' F L' U' L // CLL
y F' M' F2 M2 F' // FL and FR edges
M2 U M U2 M2 B M2 B' // BL and BR edges
M U M' U2 M U' M u' M U2 M' U2 M2 E' // LSE

z' R U S // (3) EO+line
R2 U' L' U2 R U' L' U2 L2 U' R // (11/14) F2L -1
y2 U' R' U2 R U R' U2 R U' // (9/23) F2L
R2' U2 R U R' U R U // (8/31) LL


I'm sure, after EO, WoowyBaby might easily perform his famous Domino Reduction.

Hehe of course. But actually, going through your solution I noticed that z' R U S actually made two Lines and actually did EO on two axis as well! So you did a Double EO + Double Line in 3 moves. Nice. Starting with your EO of z' R U, I can continue with U2 B2 D2 F' L2 B' D to perform Domino Reduction on B/G, and once you cancel U U2 it is actually only 8 moves long, which is very, very short!!
So, with your scramble, this is how it would look with a better rotation:
(x)
F R' D2 L2 U' B2 D' L // Domino (8)
-
Anyway, I’ll move on to the next scramble already now lol

(y)
F' D R' B' L D' F2 // EO Line (7/7)
U2 R2 L U' L R2 U2 L2 // Left Block (8/15)
R U R' U' R U R' U2 R' U R U' R' U R // Right Block + OLL (15/30)
D' R U R' U' D R2 U' R U' R' U R' U R2 U' // PLL (16/46)

Generated my own scramble, R2 F2 R2 F' U' R' D B L' U2 R' B2 L' U2 R' D2 L2 B2 U2

B R - orient corners and most edges
U' B2 L2 U2 L2 - solve a ton of blocks
L2 F R F' L2 F R' F' - all corners, leaving seven edges
F2 D2 B2 D2 F2 U2 - a couple edges
R U' R' E' R U R' - edge comm
D' B2 R2 F2 D' F2 R2 B2 - last three edges
33 moves

Next: L B' F2 R' F2 D2 L2 F2 R' F2 U2 L2 U2 L' B' R' D' U L' B2 D'
