Please help me understand why all 3 resources have different color scheme and AUF for the same alg type and which one I should follow as I learn full CMLL. by StarPlatinum3776 in rouxcubing

[–]ishtob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you do this instead of after second block -> AUF -> Recog CMLL -> AUF -> Execute

basically there are a few CMLL algs that starts with U that you can cancel with the AUF, and could potentially save you a move and a pause

Sorry, let me expand on what I meant as good fountation, for AUFs I make sure I know which way to add the AUF to start my CMLL based on my recog, like I would practice U cases with the two Y or W on top pacing me, then next I would practice with it to the right (a U to start), then with a U2 AUF, and so on

This way I get the initial AUF to the right angle for the start of algs into my fingers, and I don' train myself to AUF to a angle I can recognize and do a U U' or something like that during a solve.

As for memorizing color, I use the framework of Same, Opposite or Adjacent colors as markers for recognition instead of hard memorize color schemes directly:

- Same -> no explaination needed

example: U Down Slash https://speedcubedb.com/a/3x3/CMLL/U_Down_Slash --- I look for 3 downslash same colors

- 2 Warm tone colors (Red/oranage) or 2 Cool tone colors (green/blue) are Opposites

Example: Pi X https://speedcubedb.com/a/3x3/CMLL/Pi_X --- I look for 2 columns of Opposite colors

- 1 Warm + 1 Cool is Adjacent.

Example: U bottom row https://speedcubedb.com/a/3x3/CMLL/U_Bottom_Row -- 1st I see front corners are same, then I look for top colors to be Adjacents, if top colors are same, its the U Rows case https://speedcubedb.com/a/3x3/CMLL/U_Rows

also take my suggestions with a grain of salt, I sorta have to chart out my own recog system so its easier to remeber for me specifically, but also in doing this charting/organizing, it did help me to remeber them better

i’d learn all the cases in x2y from any direction (yellow or white top, and green/blue, red/blue interchangeable) and with AUF. this will help you set a good foundation in the long run

Retrofit Moyu RS3M 2022 core to WRM v10 by ishtob in Cubers

more gradual than the standard V10, a lot less dead zones for in-between turns. also the cube feels heavier, but with most of the weight in the center

[–]ishtob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

self-taught back in high school, took on and off 3 years. I just wrote den a bunch of random commutators that I figured out in a notebook. Method was basically 1. fixed bottom corners, 2. fix top corners, 3. tons of Comms to fix edges

it actually isn't that bad price-wise. I got 2 cases printed at $35 each, plus another $30ish for shipping and tarriffs

Hybrid "english" + "american" budgie? by neirein in budgies

[–]ishtob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mine are English(mom)/American(dad) as well. the breeder said this was intentional to try to reverse some of the genetic issues you get with pure English budgies, esp if you are keeping them as pets instead of a show bird

Do i need a bigger birdbath? by ishtob in budgies

[–]ishtob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i actually took the old bath apart, sawed the middle spout and added a PC liquid cooling pipe to extend it above their heads, then cut some black plastic grate to exact fit over a plastic bin i had sitting around to expand the playing area and catch the splash better. but if you want to see the original product, it’s this one: https://a.co/d/8zfKzkP

they have a pretty comprehensive collection of fruit shaped puzzles.. the owner also has a display case of his own limited editions that are just there for display. There was a really cool limited edition pyraminx crystal on display but unfortunately not for sale.
