  • 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.






  • 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.


  • Eternity no celular (98% do tempo) e photon no desktop.

    Não me oponho a deixar o photon como interface padrão, mas, por outro lado, penso como seria isso a longo prazo, dado que, supostamente, vem aí uma atualização da lemmy-ui que vai melhorar bastante a interface e, em qualquer momento, o photon pode parar de ser desenvolvido, visto que não é diretamente associado ao desenvolvimento do backend do lemmy em si.




  • 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.
