The cubing argument thread

[MJS Cubing]

I agree that DNM is trash, but it's just personal preference I guess, since many people like it. Idk why but it makes my cubes feel so horrible and watery. I personally like traxxas 10k, gravitas, and silk the best
EDIT: If my cube needs to be sped up I'll usually use mystic, but most cubes these days are naturally very fast already.

Lightweight silicone lubes are great for speeding up, specifically Lubicle speedy. DNM can rust your hardware.

Why are stickered cubes better than stickerless cubes? (I'm new please don't laugh at me)

It's all opinion
I prefer stickerless because they require less maintenance, but people like stickered for the easy shade changing

Stickered cubes allow you to change the shades, but they are annoying to maintain. I don't really have opinion on that topic.

stickered cubes look cooler than stickerless cubes, but they are annoying to maintain as they could become old and fall off.
Also stickerless cubes colors are easier to recog than stickered.

It is just opinion. Some say stickers provide better grip, and others complain that they are hard to maintain. The most clear argument in stickered cube's favor is that you can make your own personal colorscheme.

Ah another thread for me to express my opinions, how wonderful.
Tomorrow probably. I have a few interesting opinions I want to share and discuss.

Gan is the worst. But they are improving with the 11m pro, skewb, and pyra.

negative reactions keep your score at the same level, not take it down

You honestly gotta be dumping tons and tons of DNM into your cube for it to become rusty. DNM itself hasn't rusted my puzzles, however, for some reason my valk puzzles have rusty hardware OOTB. I bought all of my Valk cubes (except for the valk 5 which doesn't have any rust on it) from the same place so it might be improper storage there or some other factor.

I'm pretty sure it's only positive reactions, but im not sure

I agree. It's way better than what I had to choose from when I first started, but the meilong is better. The YLM is still pretty good though, it just has some catching issues because the pieces are shaped so weird

BACK IN MY DAY there was the Maru 4x4 which had a core that could get misaligned and the whole cube would just lock up. Actually when I started cubing I had an unknown Chinese knockoff that was already better than the Maru.

I started with the MF4, it is way better than the MF4 S, and its better than an OOTB Wuque imo, but Wuque's are essentially worthless without setup

In a great at arguing. If you'd like to buy an argument it:s one pound for a five minute argument, but only eight pounds for a course of ten.

Eight Pounds? Your rates are worse than SCS's PVC Coating!

 

[Swamp347]

I'm not allowed to argue you haven't payed

 

[ender9994]

The clefferts 4x4 is the pinnacle of 4x4 technology

All good algs have 2 consecutive rotations

Nothing will beat the eastsheen 2x2 in pure uncontrollable speed

MY FRIENDS: Rowe Hessler is the worst person in cubing

 

[Swamp347]

And also eight isn't that bad. I got that much just from begging on the street the other day.
