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

[Lazy Einstein]

I have been cubing regularly since the end of 2020. I am pretty into it for a few months now again.

3BLD is what I do the most. I'll be learning 3style and finishing up my Google document for it in full.

As for 333/OH, I always mess around with those; especially when I can't 3BLD practice.
I will be drilling my ZBLLs TH algs and finishing the ZBLL AUF for them. OH is less likely to be practiced. However, if I find myself cubing enough, I'll be changing the TH ZBLLs algs that are a bummer for OH.
If cubing becomes a regular thing again for me, I'll be adding 4/5BLD in there as well too. Loving BLD, it's amazing.

Now, I need to find all the new 3BLD, ZBLL, and ZZ resources that came into existence since the end-2017ish when I got frustrated with local cubing competition issues and put down the cube.
PM me if you got the goods!!!

Well I left and now I'm back. I've been cubing for a while but I've not been active in the community in months. But the good thing is, I do have other hobbies (definitely not obsessions. hobbies like normal people have) so I've not been completely alone. I'm still just doing 3x3 practice. but I do do OH and virtual cube sometimes. I've also left the superhero community and unlike cubing I don't have plans to return.

I haven’t posted in a long time, so I guess that means I’m back. I am still cubing regularly, as much as work and kids will allow at least. I’ve been mainly focusing on big cube BLD and 3x3, but I also still very much enjoy FMC. I miss going to competitions terribly and am excited for the next time I can compete. Hi to all reading this!

Welcome back. Your signature made me chuckle a bit!

So, I’ve decided to come back after my break

Im averaging low 12s, and have decided to finally learn blind lol

Ok so I haven't really been cubing for a while, and I want to catch up on what I missed. I know the Gan timer came out, but other than that I haven't known much since about the start of February.

Speedstacks released a teaser of the v5 stackmat (everybody hates it)
Gan released the cheapest 3x3 smart cube at $35

Hi, after sometime playing rubik's cube, I decided to stop for a while, until new year

 

[White KB]

I've taken a few similar breaks throughout the years, which each helped in their own way.
Hope you improve after returning to cubing.

 

[CubeRed]

Sometimes a break I what you need. See you next year!

 

[hellocubers]

I return to ZZ.

 

[Melvintnh327]

will take a break for probably a month now, have been really busy on school stuff.

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

I’m back after a 3-4 month break due to an extremely busy time with work and home life.

My Home Screen/feed is full of usernames I don’t recognize! I’ve been drilling PLL the last few days and will get back to drilling full OLL again next since that’s what I was working on before my hiatus.

I have a few YT videos planned for my channel too! Even more ideas if I follow through on footage i shot 4+ months ago!

Probably a few more profiles too. Ducks are everywhere now.

Yeah, what’s with the ducks? Flavor of the week?!?

We've caught on and established a kind of "fiction". You'll see what I mean. Go to @White KBs profile and there will be a story there. 11th post of the 2nd page.

This is completely false! Please, please stop spreading so much false information @CubeRed. What "fiction" are you talking about? The Ducks have been around longer than humans even existed and are real creatures.
Please explain what you mean by that, why you spread so much false information, and why you claim to support the Ducks yet damage them more than almost any other member on the forums.

Sorry, I might have not made myself clear. I didn't mean to say that ducks are completely false creatures. What I was trying to say was about whitekbs story he wrote on his profile. I didn't provide enough information in my previous post and I have not worded my sentence well. I am sorry for the misunderstanding, I will be more informative and clear in future posts.
