where to go after speedsolving?

[Lord_Oscar]

professional Tetris! lol

Bro knows exactly where I’m going

I'm not interested in professional tetris, but getting decent at tetris would be a fun practice. I mean the ones with hard drops like Nullpomino, not NES tetris. That's a whole nother beast.

I play a lot of tetr.io which I enjoy cos you can play other people

I've been dedicating most of my free time to photography lately, which can be a great way to slow down and focus on your surroundings- the opposite of cubing, I guess. Haha

I hobby I'd recommend is playing Chess, or maybe coding, or playing video games.
Other hobbies would also be photography, typing, or baking (which is fun to me).

Quite a few cubers are into speed typing -

⌨️ | Typing Cubers

I know there a quite a lot of cubers who type for fun, because the two hobbies have some transferable elements to eachother. After looking around the forums, I couldn't find any threads for typing cubers, the closest being "Keyboarding Cubers", and general typing discussion, which were mostly...

I played one of the craziest chess tournament games of my life yesterday. I was positionally better against a guy like 1000 points higher than me (my provisional rating is like 650) out of a semislav where he played a bit cramped but I went too aggressive for an attack and it failed into a queen vs rook+bishop endgame which I immediately blundered. Typical game

Oh sad to hear about the chess endgame

I think I was so miffed about the attack not working I just gave up at the endgame

The cubing -> programming -> linux user pipeline is extremely real.

You could also choose the rhythm game route and start learning Japanese.

I don't think it's a pipeline, moreso a common set of hobbies. Like I have youtube channels dedicated to video games, misc tech unboxings, cubes, legos, music, and they seem to overlap. They used to all go on my main channel but I separated out the topics like cubing and that seems to be better for building an audience.
Beware the linux -> kneesocks pipeline though. It's a dark path.

Titile:

"where to go after speedsolving?"​

If speedsolving does not work out, maybe slowsolving will work better

or OR . . . SpeedCONFUSING as his new love
(he kinda has a head start yk !')

so you're saying
he should just ditch all the virtuality
and go for something in reality
good call yo

I feel called out... I went from cubing, to being semi interested in Linux on usb drives, to coding, to having Arch Linux on my computer as a dual boot with MacOS, (Still trying to do all 3 though) at least I don't have a Anime background. (and yes, Arch is the first distro I properly used)

I started out with good ol' Trusty Tahr Ubuntu 14.04 (which until recently was STILL being supported in extended maintenance) running on crouton on our school's crappy chromebooks. I still use Ubuntu LTS to this day because they're stable and it's easy to find help online.

I peaked around 1.5k I think but this was in 2017 and now I think the rank is in the 20-30k range. I could play in my state's 5USC but I'm way out of practice now.

holy **** bro youre amazing. whats your username?

i chose the latter route

 

[Exmestify]

i like learning as a whole, so id prolly learn new langs or new stuff

 

[Garf]

i chose the latter route

same, although I'm kind of doing both lol. coding and rhythm games. No japanese tho.
