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

[Lofty]

I've been cubing again the past few days.
Seeing this new sub-13 OH averages are just crazy...

 

[Dene]

Loftyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[somerandomkidmike]

I think I'm going to quit cubing for a bit. I hurt both my thumbs, and I'm in school for massage therapy. Although I don't use my thumbs when I treat, I still don't want to risk hurting myself. So! Bye, I guess. I'm not really known here much anyway.

 

[Lofty]

Whoa it's Dene! Hey man!

 

[Ninja Storm]

I quit daily averages of 100 until AP tests are done xP

 

[jonlin]

What the **** Keaton?

 

[somerandomkidmike]

I guess I'm gonna return. My hands are doing better. Been doing some hydrotherapy to help the recover, and it's working. Back to cubing, and back to Petrus.

close to quitting

Not to long ago I stopped cubing and have yet to really pick it back up again. I quit because I realized that I was really slow and needed to learn a new method. I immediately chose roux.fp)
To make a long story short, I rage quit.
Now I'm looking for a new method that is kind of easy and doesn't have a lot of algs.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

You can do a corners-first method with only one alg. I don't really recommend it (sub-20 with pure CF is really hard!) but it's an option.

 

[Ickathu]

You can do Roux with only 2 algs, the rest of it is intuitive, but I don't know if that counts as easy.
Petrus is a good method, you can solve the LL using only 3 algs.
You could use a direct Piece-by-piece solving method, like what you would use for Blind. You can use just 1 alg. (but slow)
The fewer algs you learn, the slower you will be.

 

[That70sShowDude]

You wanna be fast, but you don't want to learn algs to make you faster.

ok

 

[samchoochiu]

You wanna be fast, but you don't want to learn algs to make you faster.

ok

I second this. What he's saying is contradicting.

 

[Thompson]

It doesn't sound like you want to be a speedcuber

 

[A Leman]

It is easier to get fast with algs than intuition. Intuition takes time and develops by understanding concepts that are used in algs. There is not an easy shortcut to getting fast. As for an ok method, try CROSS,basic intuitive f2l, 2look OLL, PLL

It looks like you didn't give CFOP too much of a chance. Even if you don't know too many algs, you can still get faster using what you already know. You don't *have* to learn lots of algs to get fast, although it makes it easier.

Hey guys! I've been out of the whole speedcubing thing for the past couple years. I've been picking the cube up on and off (mostly off) a year ago and almost entirely off this past year. I left for a few reasons: not getting any better, not wanting to learn algs (so if I quit I don't have to?), taking too much time...

But here I am again. Back with a 22 second average of 5

Back Cubing!

After like 3 months :confused: ,it's holiday! So I'm back and still sub-20.
I've forgotten some of my PLLs but I'm working on them.
I used 2looks for my OLLs and still using my guhong.

Anything new now? Methods,cubes,WRs?

This is a very important year of studies for me,so I might take frequent breaks. Exams sux.

 

[cincyaviation]

I'm back for at least the next week after a 6 month lapse. Anything new happen while I was gone?

 

[emolover]

Screw it!!! I hate all methods of 3x3! But because of the fact that I have been using CFOP for 3 years, I am sticking with it despite how much I hate it.

 

[emolover]

Wat no

Sorry, I'm an old cuber stuck in his old ways of CFOP. I still think its the best method, but the cancer has spread throughout my body and I can not stop it.

I wanna Roux, but I can't.
