  • Very cool read, thanks for sharing. I've never realized that Xiao Xiao was made all by one guy, what's with the numerous clones and the interval between each release.

  • Very good read. Thanks for sharing

  • Tbh this sounds great to install for a Linux noob

  • Ah, so this was what was missing.

    Thanks for your bot and work. It really blended with my daily routine.

  • I like this whimsical side to Calvin's dad

  • I finally got a decent megaminx. I used to dislike the event, thinking of it as "big 3x3", but I'm enjoying solving it more the I'd imagined.

  • This is crazy to me. Mine would never care enough to learn to solve even a 2x2.

  • Thanks for posting this, this is great.

  • It's ok, I'll be proud for you

    (It's actually a very good joke)

  • This page on jperm.net has videos in order of complexity, which, by itself, is a nice resource to use in a traditional CFOP progression. However, I like to use a PDF made by the same guy in the page, which I'll link here because for some reason he doesn't bother to make it more clickable or explicit on the page.

    The way I use this document is by looking for alternate solutions if I find that my intuitive solution is not very effective (more than 8 moves per pair, more than one rotation per pair or one rotation in the middle of the solution for that pair).

    Edit: I should note that I've discovered a number of what people call "F2L tricks" and algorithms that are not listed on the PDF. However, I see this document as a great resource and starting point.

  • Baby's got the diarrhoea

  • Working fine here. Very cool gameplay, may inspire me to get better at Celeste.

  • You can sense the towering intellect

  • I've gone a long stretch without cubing (think a bit less than a decade) and, while it was refreshing coming back to the hobby, with new hardware and seeing it becoming even more popular, I was forced to confront the fact that I don't have much disposable time to practice.

    While this is argument enough, I think, to prioritise focused practice, I generally find that the opposite becomes even more tempting: I generally just do a bunch of mindless solves, and while I do see myself improving, I doubt I'll improve as fast as I could. It's probable, even, that I'm reaching a skill ceiling for mindlessly solving.

    I don't know what this is, maybe just a cubing-related rant about getting older.

  • AI profile

  • The day we have to offload tts computation to a datacenter will be a grim one

  • Quite a sizeable jump from the last record

    Edit: though a bit sad to see this done with CFOP. I do not personally use Roux, but I liked that the previous record was set with it. I think the method deserves to grow

  • Considering how much of my free time I spend cubing (a big chunk), I always found it weird that my dreams are not full of cubing as well. I have dreamt of cubing once; I remember doing F2L really efficiently, but that's about it. Nothing interesting or out of the ordinary, so this may be an unsatisfactory answer for you.
