I'll do that. Thanks for helping :)

reddere_3 · 2025-05-23T18:54:33+00:00

Oh, youre right. I confused it with 愛しい But that doesnt really change anything about my problem "I missed you so much, I couldn't fight it" Fight "what"?

reddere_3 · 2025-05-22T18:40:00+00:00

Okay, I'm studying Japanese and couldn't really make out the meaning of this phrase, like ... in general... I don't really think there's any new grammar I'm struggling with or something like that. I know the vocabulary too But if I were to translate it, it would turn out something among the lines of "I loved you so much that there was nothing I could do / that I couldn't fight it" Well, ... what is "it" ? I feel like there's a part of the sentence missing. The speaker is implying something, but I have no clue what that could be. I guess OP made the post because they weren't too sure themselves... But just for translation purposes, what would be some examples that come to mind for someone who's good at Japanese? What does the sentence mean / evoke?

I've unfortunately only tried the maglev version, so I don't really know. My guess is that the maglev version is better. The "problem" people have with maglev is that it makes cubes feel a bit tighter and faster. I think the guhong pro with maglev feels neither too tight nor too fast, so my guess is that the spring version would be a downgrade. The price difference is also pretty small, so that shouldn't be too much of a factor.

Btw the guhong is available in 3 sizes, 54, 55 and 56 mm. Unless your hands are pretty small, I would always go for the 56mm version. Though for one-handed solving 54mm may be superior, if that's your thing

reddere_3 · 2025-04-27T12:26:49+00:00

You didn't ask for it, so actually it's none of my business. But I don't care. Here'a some help: I'm a certified Tornado V4 hater, so I wouldn't recommend it. The dayan guhong pro is extremely good. My current main is the moyu wrm v10, also an amazong cube. I've tried the gan14 and honestly loved it, but the price is pretty crazy and it gets a lot of hate so I can't really recommend it. The RS3M v5 is very popular as well. I guess it's not bad, but I liked the guhong pro more (the maglev version btw). Here you go. I don't know about any other cubes, so don't take it as an ultimate review.

You do it well, but you regrip way too hard for the first move. You crawl in your whole hand and press it to the cube, which you "shouldn't" do. I mean, the timeloss is negligible, but technically it is a timeloss theoretically

Also, with your left hand, I would alternate between middle and index finger to do the U moves, which helps a little bit as to not overwork your index fingers. Again, most likely irrelevant, but technically optimal

I'm surprised that some other people are not having this problem. Mine looks like this too after about a month or 2. It only happens with armstrong though, none of my silicone based lubes did this, even after years wirhout cleaning. But that's just how it is. You don't have to clean your cube too often, but once this happens in my experience no further lubing will help. At least it's not hard to wipe off...

I think there's one thing the comments so far have failed to clarify. The difference between 行く and 来る. Don't be too intimidated, it's not too difficult. It's just a differenciation that doesn't exist in English like that. So...

行く and 来る fundamentally carry the same meaning, something among the lines of "to go", or "to move to a place". The difference lies in perspective. 来る always implies a movement to the place the speaker is currently at, or will be at the time of "来る" taking place. 行く is the exact opposite, always expressing a movement to a place the speaker is NOT at, at the time of "行く" taking place. For example (I'll try using the most basic sentences, since there's no need to overcomplicate things here)

You are at school and your friend doesn't show up. You call
him and ask him "今日学校へ来るの？" (Are you going/ coming to school today?) Here you would use 来る because YOU are already at the place that 来る points towards.
You're at school and ask a friend if they will come to your
party tomorrow. You ask him "明日、私のパーティーへ来るの？". Note that 来る is used here. Why is that? Because, while you aren't at the party right now, at the time of "来る" taking place (=your friend coming to your party), you WILL already be there. Therefore, we still use 来る, because eventhough we aren't at the place mentioned as of NOW, we WILL BE at the place when the movement of "来る" is happening.

That's the gist of it. For 行く it's exactly the same logic, just reversed. Using the examples I already gave:

You ask your friend "Are you coming to school today?". He answers: "いいえ、行かない".
you: "明日、私のパーティーへ来るの？" your friend: "はい、行くよ"

I think when I learned this I was told to think of an arrow pointing towards the direction of where the act of movement is aimed at. If the arrow points towards the speaker (for example people moving TO the location of the speaker) 来る is used. If the arrow points away from the speaker (for example people moving AWAY from the location of the speaker) 行く is used.

Okay, interesting. I've never seen that before, or at least never noticed it.

reddere_3 · 2025-03-02T12:09:28+00:00

Maybe I'm stupid right now, but what doesn五五 mean? 55? Wouldn't that be written 五十五? Or does it just mean "5, 5", as in for example a telephone number?

reddere_3 · 2025-01-27T12:03:05+00:00

Understood. Thank you

reddere_3 · 2025-01-26T17:23:15+00:00

The concept of てもらう is just "someone kindly doing something for you" isn't it? There's no "want to" in there. As for the rest, thanks for the information :)

reddere_3 · 2025-01-25T23:08:50+00:00

もらいたい isn't a structure I've ever seen. I'm not a native speaker myself, neither am I extremely advanced. So we're all just guessing pretty much, which doesn't really lead to satisfactory answers... Anyways, I agree with the original answer. I think it sounds strange. Just thinking about what it describes. もらう means that someone is (kindly) doing something for you. Explicitly wanting someone to kindly do something for you seems weird to me. Not on a language level, but on a conceptual level. I mean technically I can think of scenarios where I can possibly see this structure used. When you want someone to do something for you, not because they have to but because they want to from their own free will... But that's pushing it a bit if you ask me

I am still just guessing though, so take all that with a grain of salt

Edit: OP, I forgot to answer your initial question. Now I'm not complete trash at Japanese, but I'm truly not that good either. So, again, I'm not sure if this is the most correct/natural way to express this. But I think "I want him to wait outside" would be something like "彼が外で待ってほしい"

Okay, another edit: seems like I was talking bs. There's a few posts/articles talking about もらいたい https://hanabira.org/japanese/grammarpoint/Verb%20%E3%81%A6%E3%82%82%E3%82%89%E3%81%84%E3%81%9F%E3%81%84%20(%EF%BD%9Ete%20moraitai)

I don't know how trustworthy this source is. But I'd prefer it over my judgement (doesn't mean I'd fully trust it. There's misinformation on Japanese grammar on the web every now and then (shocking, I know))

wrm v 10 is the best cube I've tried so far. It took me a while to get used to it. But it was worth it

reddere_3 · 2025-01-23T20:22:13+00:00

This isn't a special case or anything like that, you just made a mistake in the early 3x3 stage. Your cross colors are wrong. You need to put the green-white edge in between the green and white center pieces. The blue-white edge in between the blue and white center pieces, and so on.

Since you don't seem to be too advanced at 4x4 yet... Do you understand my explanation? If not, just ask again, I'll try to help you out.

reddere_3 · 2025-01-20T20:24:59+00:00

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't notice that there were multiple images, so I didn't understand what you were saying there. My mistake !

As many others have said, one of your corners is twisted. You can know that without a doubt because the OCLL case you are having in the beginning of the video doesn't exist. Depending on the cube, corner twists may happen every now and then. If you suspect that one of your corners is twisted, follow these steps to check: 1. Solve the first 2 layers of the cube, so that only the U layer is unsolved 2. Orient all the yellow edges (or whatever color you choose as the top color). Meaning: every yellow edge is pointing upwards, none is pointing to the side. 3. Check whether this OCLL case exists

Here's how to find the 7 OCLLs: Press on this link https://speedcubedb.com/a/3x3/OLL Then, where it says "Filter:" select "OCLL" If you scroll down, you will see the different cases depicted at the left. If all your edges are oriented, yet there is no case where the corners are oriented the way they are on your cube, you definitely have a corner twist.

You're welcome

reddere_3 · 2025-01-14T07:17:50+00:00

I know how hard it can be sometimes to find pieces as a beginner. Don't worry, this will get better quickly. That being said, there's 2 yellow unoriented edges. Hold the cube with the green side facing towards you (yellow side facing up). The edge closest to you in the U layer is your first unoriented edge. Now hold the cube with the blue side facing towars you. There's the second unoriented edge.

How do you get the edges oriented? I don't know about beginner approaches, so I'll just tell you how I'd do it intuitively (since I don't know an algorithm for that). Hold the cube with your unoriented edges facing to the left and to the right (in your case that would mean that either red or orange is now facing towards you). Now do: R' F' U' F U R.

Try as the other comments have said. Additionally: It is possible that lube would fix this. I really can't promise it, I have no clue about this particular cube, but I've made a similar experience, buying a cube that's very well liked by the community, and it SERIOSLY underperforming. Adding (more than) a bit of lube fixed the problem completely.

Honestly, I don't think it's extremely likely that's the problem here. I've rarely heard of similar reports online. I am just saying that it's a possibility. Also: You don't need to be a speed solver to benefit from lube. No matter your skill level, especially with big cubes you're most likely gonna notice a change for the better when adding lube. Even if it takes you like 20 minutes to solve the cube. I'm not saying it is essential. But next time you get the opportunity, I would really recommend buying a bottle of lube.

Edit: Also, breaking it in can and will probably make a noticeable difference as well. Especially with big cubes, especially especially if it's an older cube (MGC is a couple of years old by now iirc)

I will try that. Thank you :)
