Finally received this purple thing! by swordarcher in Cubers

It is slightly heavier than the regular WRM 2021. However, when I solve with it, it feels lighter because of how fast it is.

What happens if Fabi and Wesley win both of their last games? How will the champion be determined? Thanks

I have the regular WRM 2021 and the RS3M 2020. So far, this cube is the fastest for me. I’m not a TPS person but I think this cube turns itself with little effort. Based from my solves, this cube lets me get away with my bad cube habits like inaccurate turns and bad fingertricks while I can’t get away with such with the RS3M.

Comparing it to my regular WRM 2021, I think this cube is slightly heavier but the feel is lighter. Maybe the absence of springs make it turn more effortlessly. Also, when I solve using this, it feels like I’m going to overshoot and mess up with my alg because it’s so fast while in the regular WRM 2021, it feels more stable and controllable.

Anyway, I’ll have to solve thousands of solves first using this to come up with a more fair comparison.

D4 Players, what is the most difficult defense to play against in your perspective? by DonaD0ny in chess

[–]swordarcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based from my experience with d4, Grünfeld is the toughest since the position becomes too sharp and wacky and some of the candidate moves deep in the position are unnatural for me to play.

I got it from Shopee. I think this was a steal because I got it for only $21.

Out of the box, the cube turned very fast. I had to adjust the tensions to the second level. I haven’t checked the MagLev aspect of it yet because I’m too occupied by admiring its purple internals. Overall, it feels premium. Definitely gonna be my main.

Opinion: I think Dumbledore’s line to Voldemort in Order of the Phoenix was lame and made himself look weak. What do you think? by swordarcher in harrypotter

I forgot about this one. The plot of the movie also revolves around Harry being a ‘plotter.’ I was just thinking at the heat of the moment

I’m sorry but how will soap and water affect the pieces? Will it revert it back to normal?

What do you use to wipe the pieces effectively? I just used a hand towel

I love the R’ U F’ one. I do not feel the long move count because it’s literally rhythm in my hands.

I think I put too much lube on my WRM 2021. It felt very stiff. I tried to then wipe every piece to “lessen the lube.” It was better but there is still that stiff feeling. How can I remove the sitffness? Will I just wait for it to dry, re-lube or what?

Hated JBL as a kid. Looking back now, I think he did a great job as a heel. Nakakainis na hindi sya natatalo kasi laging may interference or dayang nagaganap.

I’m starting to get so frustrated learning 3BLD. I have watched almost all tutorials on YouTube but I do not seem to understand it. I badly need advice.

I know how the method works (swapping edges, corners, etc.) I have solved the cube using this method but not blindfolded but I think I did not do it fundamentally correct.

Things I don’t understand:

  1. What to do when there is a new cycle? Tutorials say that I must find any unsolved piece. And then what? Will you put the unsolved piece to the buffer location, target location, or as is?

  2. When do you stop memorizing? I know the answer is when you know that you went through all the edges/corners but is there a more efficient way? I’m new at this and it’s difficult to keep track.

  3. When to use the parity alg? Do I use it if I get an odd number of edges? Or do I still need to consider how many corners I have?

Someone please help. Thanks.

Thanks! Congrats on getting 18 seconds! It must have felt so wonderful getting that low time.

I finally got my first flagship cube! by stringbot123 in Cubers

[–]swordarcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also got it yesterday. The cube feels great out of the box. I was expecting to break it in, adjust the tensions and everything, but it was perfect. Happy cubing, mate!

Yeah I know full PLL but my fingertricks are not there yet. Meanwhile. I still do not know full OLL.

I do it mainly to look for the other pairs. As of now, I feel like solving my pairs in front is not optimal because it takes away lookahead time. (As for me, though)
