I know i don't but i want a super huge alg list, and i think i'd like to learn it now before i hate my 2x2 again. I think my tps isn't great so alg knowledge will hopefully back me up until then

Nah i'll be fine, its something i've wanted to do for a while to test myself and so far not bad at all! Im surprising myself with one lookers and sub 3's with it. Its just what i wanted to do.
Since this thread is about niggles in cubing, imma continue with it.
Last few moves of a solve and the cube almost everytime locks up, always on PLL and only ever PLL

Wow, you actually try those? I might if it's just like R2 and it's an easy EG, but I get it right so rarely that it isn't worth it for me.
Yeah I hate this. Trust me, it's even worse for 2x2, when inspection is the whole solve.

I hate taking apart my Zhanchi. It never wants to come apart, no matter how lose I set it. I guess that is a good thing too though

Averaging high-42's at 4x4, but having part of my brain insist that 42.xx solves are bad whenever I get them.

Breaking my pointer finger nail so It feels really uncomfortable while doing a left flick is the worst. I think I am going to stop cubing for a while because of this.

inability to maintain OH averages because your hand gets tired
when center caps or pieces pop out and it requires actual body movement to get them
when you forget to cut your nails and you start breaking your stickers
when you keep locking up for no apparent reason
cold fingers
1. having people take 2 minutes to scramble it behind their back and then hand it to you, then say you're cheating when you're inspecting

Getting a new PB and realizing when looking at the cube, that you had PLL parity!

You must turn really fast
Not really. I just sprinkle extra flammable powder on the cube before hand. Because everything looks cooler when it's on fire.
1. cube fad mania. this type of discussion takes up a lot of space on the forum and it also makes me want to buy new cubes all the time.
2. random strangers who talk to you about solving cubes who know absolutely nothing about cubing. most of the people i meet say the infamous "i peel the stickers".. or "i take it apart and put it back together" but then there are the annoying bunch. my favorite people are the ones that say that they've solved it and its just one big math equation. while it is in fact possible to understand the mechanics of the cube with math and use that understanding to solve the cube, what is the probability that every word coming out of their mouth is a lie? (i'd rather do that math equation! LOL)
3. my kids. my kids understand that there are cubes which are daddy's favorite cubes. they are not allowed to play with daddy's favorites. but somehow, every so once in a while, i will discover, usually when i get home from work, daddy's favorite cube has no stickers, is disassembled down to the core, and more than half of the pieces are missing only to be found several months later in the couch cushions, under the bed, at the bottom of the toybox, etc etc. i cant really blame them because they cant distinguish daddy's favorite 3x3 from a type c-1 that i let them play with. its just frustrating.
