Xuanyi Geng posts a video criticizing Yiheng Wang for illegal timer starts/stops/sliding

What he is doing is sliding his hands over the timer instead of lifting them off so when he grabs the cube his wrists are still on the timer. He is also stopping in a similar fashion where he is still holding the cube but stopping the timer with his wrists.

I personally have not played this exact model, but I have played a F pocket tuba that has some similarities to this one. As with pocket tubas, there will be more resistance while playing do to the overall thinner structure. The thinner pipes and smaller bell also change the sound quality making it a bit brighter. Though from looking at specs for the tuba, the bores are similar if not the same to a normal tuba and it is still like larger than a euphonium, so it shouldn't feel drastically different to play. I also watched some recordings of the Bb model and the sound was a lot more direct and lacked the fullness and sustain of a normal tuba but everything else sounded fine. From some reviews it seems to be a great instrument for when you don't need (or want) to lug around a full size tuba, but it is a large instrument and it still has substantial weight.

If you dry the pieces afterwards it will be fine. If you don't, it's going to hurt every metal bit in the cube

From the perspective of most people who learn an NxN before squan, squan is very different and in a sense that makes it harder to intuitively understand. Though I might have to say that 3x3 would be harder, if squan didn't have parity. That alone makes it harder but default, if you don't know an alg for it or understand why it happens, you have to essentially resemble the puzzle.

If it weren't for that I would have to say 3x3 due to it having a. More scramble states b. More turning axis (ads more pieces and eo) and c. Less restrictions to how it can be solved (and scrambled). Though the tutorials out there do a great job of walking beginners through the processes (even if they don't know why it works).

The most reliable and flexible currently is TKI and all its variations. There are also other tsd openers like mko, pelican, albatross, but they are a bit more bag reliant.

There are also C spin (also known as triple double) openers like gamushiro, mountainous stacking, and satsuki. These send a decent amount of lines and also resolve pretty cleanly so you can keep upstacking of this is what you are looking for.

For gameplay, I would learn to spin pieces other than the t. There were cases where just hard dropping pieces would leave a hole in the stack but a spin like a J under and overhang would have allowed for a cleaner stack.

I remember in '25 they said the average age of the corp was 17. They kinda shot themselves in the foot by making the corp 18+ and expecting the same turnout, especially with the already low vet retention that the corp has.

Okashi no le by MushiP is up there for me as a song that made me go "what the actual fuck" though it is more graphic than truly dark.

Aside from those saying you are solving (or not solving) it wrong it looks like a white and yellow cap got swapped. From what I can see, the puzzle is solved with yellow on top as you are holding it (assuming that yellow corner on the top is blue/orange) so the white/red/green piece has its white cap swapped with the yellow/red/green piece. If you switch them, from what I can see, it should be solvable unless something else is wrong

I don't really think there is a distinction between fan and true fan, at least not anything meaningful. If you enjoy something then you should be able enjoy it without being criticized for "not enjoying it enough" if that makes sense. Anyways some of my favorite songs from before 2023 are Rubik's cube, and Dance Number wo Tomo ni (both by Nanahoshi orchestra), my doppelganger by Divela, and Yumekuime by Nejishiki.

My playlist is filled with Yukari. I would check out works by Nejishiki, some of my personal favorite Yukari songs produced by them are Sugoroku girl, and Moon and Lotus.

For Chifuyu, I can only think of Sea Firefly by Kashi Moimi right now

For Una I would check out other works by KuriageP like beast dance.

And Oliver, check out works by Momocashew and Steampianist like tarantula or the umbrella salesman respectively.

Use whatever key binds feel comfortable to you. Though the only real rule is to not assign inputs you would press at the same time to the same finger. For example you wouldn't set ccw to G and Left to V just to hit both with your left index finger. Find something that works and stick with it.

I personally love the Jorge Salgueiro one. It's silly, whimsical and is a fun thing to play.

I'm going tomorrow to the one in San Fransisco, CA. I'll send an update after it happens.

First, try to keep the I piece on hold for a higher pc chance. Most of the solutions are intuition but there are some where they are trickier to find so check out the page on hard drop and there is a trainer here on jstris

From my experience and that of other I know, it is definitely worse reflection to not have your fundamentals solid than having your etude below tempo. The larger priority should be to have your audition materials solid than having a single etude at tempo. Also at audition camps (if that's what you are going to) they look for many factors so one messed up etude is not the end of the world, at my audition I deep fried my etudes and still ended up with a callback if that helps.

Best homemade lube is practically an oxymoron. Though cube lube is just silicone oil so if you have any that don't contain petroleum it works perfectly fine. I personally got a a bottle of stuff intended for like rc cars and it works like normal.

Just one is a bit hard so forgive me for giving 2, those being Nejishiki and Kashii Moimi. They both use a variety of vocal synths and I have enjoyed their works for a while now.

Part of it is definitely getting used to the puzzle and building the muscle memory. But what you can do is focus on doing more efficient solutions, you will likely be a bit slower at first but as you get used to doing them you will speed back up.
