YJ 5x5.
Wowow, this is… better than v cubes!
The pieces are hollowed out, and there’s less plastic against plastic.
It’s so much lighter, and the pieces are also slightly differently shaped.
The flaw of the angled corner pieces is fixed in the YJ, and it’s a totally round spherical shape.
After a bit of fiddling with the tension, I was able to get a few sub-2 times.

F-II cubes.
The F-II is probably one of the few cubes that I haven’t gotten tired of.
Like, usually, after a few weeks, I get tired of a cube, and I stop using it and buy a new one. Well, like, I’ve been using this cube for at least a month now, and It’s honestly more amazing than when it came. I decided to study it a bit further, and well, I was astonished. I “modded” mine a...
That "new cube" feeling.
Ugh.
If only we had magical teleporters to supplant the postal system. d:
I’ve been waiting over 2 weeks for my new cubes, and well, quite frankly, I’m not surprised, as this hasn’t been the first time.
I just don’t want to practice with the cubes I have until the new ones get here! The anticipation is KILLING ME. >;(
Ughhhh, fgsfds, but hmmm, I’ve made no...
Nihilistic cubing.
So, um, first of all, I wonder how many people actually read this.
Like, I recall that like… hmmm, a handful from speedsolving read my journal every now and then back when I used LiveJournal.
But anyways, I was thinking about the nature of cubing.
I mean, I’m in it for the fame, I want to be the best.
If I had invested all of the thousands of hours dispersed over 2 years into...
Induced LL skip BEFORE F2L is completed by using...
So, this is the fourth time it’s happened.
I’ve induced an LL skip BEFORE F2L is even finished by using conjugated ZBLL.
So, Lucas introduced us to conjugated PLLs, such as a 3 move conjugation changing a Tperm into an F perm, with a cancellation. Also, someone also stated using F, and something else to create 2-gen ZBLLs… which I should be looking into once I revise my ZBLLs....
True One Look ZBLL recognition.
So, I thought I might share another trick i have.
Not like anyone else is using ZBLL, right? (x
Lolol, but I do know some people are using ZZLL and some people made an attempt at ZBLL. So, mayhaps there’s an off chance they will read this.
Just like that offchance someone who might learn ZBF2L might stumble upon Chris Hardwick’s page about ZBF2L+4x4 recognition with the middle layer...
More new cubes!
So um like, I decided to spend 20 dollars during the 10% off popbuying sale.
I got a dayan cube, a YJ 5x5, and a green type C.
I’ve wanted a green type C for like, a year now, lol. So that makes me prettyyyy happy. 6 dollars too, with the deal!
The YJ 5x5… i hear that… it’s adjustable. Someone on youtube said they were “adjusting” it’s tension, but you...
New Cubing Blog!
So like, yeah.
Livejournal carries with it a reputation of girls with PMS writing about their troubles and stuff, and so, I’ve decided to convert my old Tumblr into the new cubing blog! (But what connotation does Tumblr have, I wonder?)
I won’t be updating my old cubing blog anymore, and I might delete it, but I can’t predict the future.
Nothing new really, my type F-II is...
