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

I quit

saying that I'm going to quit because It is really hard to stay away from the cube.

 

[MalusDB]

I'm back! Got my cube collection stolen at a house party and only got enough spare cash to buy a new cube. Gonna just start with some Roux this time. GOGOGO WR

 

[~Adam~]

Harsh. How many cubes did you have? I would have to claim on my insurance if I had my collection stolen.

 

[Noahaha]

2001 posts = time to post less and actually focus on cubing.

I'll still be around, just not as obsessively, at least until after worlds.

 

[Ltsurge]

What have I missed?

Probably an unnecessary thread, but if it actually is then a mod will delete/close it. Can someone bring me up to speed with what has happened in the cubing world since I left? I stopped at the end of 2011 (3x3 mostly with a pb of 16 and average of 20) ... Is there any new (and important): Cubes, methods, records etc that I should know about?

Cheers in advance

A little while ago because I was bored.
I Returned:
Because I felt the need to keep cubing.

It's been ~4 years since I last posted here. I took a long "break" from cubing to finish school and for other reasons. I didn't really think I would come back, at least not with as much intensity as I had back then. I was wrong and I really got sucked back in.

A lot has changed in 4 years; the records are insane (although I thought they were before, too), the cubes are completely different, there's a whole new generation of cubers. I've spent the last couple of weeks bringing myself up to date with things and getting new cubes. Some stuff is the same though. Gottlieb is still the sim god. Stefan is still trying to talk sense into people who have no idea what he's saying. I'm still slow at everything (but worse).

World's is within a few hours drive from me. It's crazy to think that I wouldn't go but I'm not sure that I will. I haven't planned anything and it's coming fast now. I haven't even looked at the World's thread yet for whatever reason. I dunno, maybe soon I will have more motivation to make it happen, it's a really great opportunity and not making it is something I know I'd regret. We'll see.

That's all for now. This was just for the one or two people that maybe vaguely remember me or for the people that see a post of mine in the future and wonder where I came from.

I'll Quit

doing nothing but cubing all day. It's funny that when I look on the pages of this thread, I see stuff like "I'll quit procrastinating learning blah blah blah" because I can't stop learning this stuff, haha. I really should get out there more, instead of just practicing F2L or learning more PLLs and stuff. I need to read, I need to write, I need to practice those concertos on cello… I need to tone it down a little.

I'll Quit

doing nothing but practice fast cubing. I really should be more constructive in the time I practice. I should be practicing fingertricks or improving lookahead.
