The "I quit / pause / return / change / etc." thread

[StachuK1992]

I'm quitting cubing for a few months starting September 21st. I need to do well in school this year, and I can't let cubing distract me from studying and doing schoolwork. After the Canadian Open, I'm not going to do any cubing until the next competition. I need a break anyway, most of my times haven't been improving, and maybe this'll help me do better in competition (less practice=less nervous=fewer DNFs?). I'll still be around in the forums, but I won't be practicing.

it's September 21st
it's time to put all my cubes away...

nooe!!!
We need competition rite nao!!!

 

[anythingtwisty]

I change.....from wasting time lying around to wasting time juggling!

 

[miniGOINGS]

I quit cubing for the next month or so, maybe more.

 

[reghrhre]

I return

I have finally returned and I'm trying to get back into speedcubing.

 

[Novriil]

I quit bigcubes, BLD and 2x2 for at least two weeks
3x3 constantly sub-20..

 

[Ranzha]

I'll pause my speedcubing, and stick to trying and learning different methods, mainly because my school habits are complete and utter fail and because of it, all of my 3x3s (except the ones I don't use and are hidden) are in my parents' hold now.

I quit trying to learn full OLL, and instead will intend to use MGLS.

I return from being anonymous at the US Nats, and am finding new friends on YouTube and such.

I'll change my sources for algorithms, because everyone knows that a finger-trickin' algorithm is better than a normal ol' 2 or 3-gen algorithm anyday, unless it's a finger-trickin' 2-gen.

I'll change the way I vlog because I usually tend to ramble, and I'll look harder for things to talk about and such that cubers and normal ol' YouTubers can enjoy.

I quit daily cubing with cubes, and instead am using Werner Randelshofer's virtual cubes.

That's about all.

--Ranzha V. Emodrach, Castrensis...blah.

 

[nitrocan]

I never thought I'd post here...

I take a break.

It's my last year in high school, and I have to get prepared for the messed up exam system in my country. I'll probably be away for about 9 months. School starts tomorrow. I'll be getting rid of every distraction (cubes, computer, etc. but not piano of course)

Don't flame me when I bump this thread to say that I'm back in june

 

[fundash]

I will actually take learning Fridrich F2L seriously now.

 

[Logan]

I Change to using Fridrich F2L all of the time on 3x3. No matter how much it hurts me and my times for a while. I need to train for Cubetcha in October, and get an official sub-40 (hopefully sub-35) average.

I will quit cubing after October 24th (Cubetcha) until I can get my grades back up to >97%.

 

[MistArts]

I return to this forum.

I quit cubing.

 

[fundash]

I Tell MistArts to keep cubing...

MistArts, don't quit, you must keep cubing!

 

[elcarc]

I do it less frequently as my transferring from home school to regular school is underway

 

[CalNgyuen]

I will go and get some silicone for my cube. Never lubed it yet and its a couple weeks old.

 

[fanwuq]

I return to this forum.

I quit cubing.

I hope by cubing, you only mean speedcubing.

 

[KubeKid73]

I haven't been solving cubes a lot lately, but now that I bought 5 more puzzles and got them last week, I just did a 3x3 average and got around 1:10, which is around what I got back when I stopped for a while, like maybe a month and a half ago. I'm glad I haven't gotten worse. And now I'm motivated to learn full PLL (I just kept giving up a while ago. I stopped trying in like May maybe. I don't remember. After that I barely solved cubes at all, but then I completely stopped like a month and a half ago.) and since I got a C4Y diy, I shouldn't get as annoyed when I get bad solves because I won't blame it on my cube. (My last cube was a storebought, it was horrible, but I got about the same times, so when I get used to this cube, I should do slightly better.)

 

[JTW2007]

I return to this forum.

I quit cubing.

But....

Do you mean blindcubing with the sunglass similey?

I just don't have enough time for cubing nowadays.

BLD FMC clock!

 

[SaberSlash49]

I'll change my ways of learning, to learn gradually, bit by bit. I would go everyday" Time to learn 2 Look PLL." and then I'd look at all the algorithms, and try to remember all of them. I'm not doing that anymore. I am spending about 1 day for each algorithm, to learn fingertricks and execution techniques.

I quit my arrogant and complicated ways. Life might not last long, so use it to its fullest. No, this doesn't mean risking your life everyday. Buddhists are relaxed, and peaceful. That's how I want to be. I say to myself everyday "I'll try not to get pissed off.". And do I get pissed off? Sometimes.

 

[Tim Major]

I quit lying to non-cubers that I can solve the 2x2 bld.
