I know the intended meaning was to represent dementia and memory loss, but I think I've gotten desensitized to it. Yes it was scary the first 2 or 3 times, but after that I just started treating it as "music". In fact, I have been putting on stage 6 as background music!

Obviously, stage 1 is very listenable, although I usually don't touch it because it's pretty repetitive. Stage 2 also has good music, I just don't listen to it very often because... I dunno, I just never really think about it. Stage 3 is also really nice, albeit a little off-putting, but again I don't find it that scary

The post-awareness stages are where it gets interesting. Stage 4 is weirdly listenable even though it's pretty darn scrambled. I dunno, maybe it has something to do with the stereo shenanigans, or maybe it was just carried by I1 and J1, but idrk, it's interesting. Stage 5... honestly I never bothered to relisten to it that often, but if I had to guess it would still be just as overwhelming and noisy. Stage 6... well... it's strangely soothing and enjoyable? I just can't get enough of the ambience, it's like not so overwhelming that it demands my attention all the time, but also not so boring that I fall asleep

And uhh yeah that's about it. My favorite tracks are D2, E6, E8, I1, J1, and basically all of stage 6

I want to get fairly decent at 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and squan, but it always feels like I can't be good at more than one of them at a time

It's like I would get better at one event, only to lose the progress after switching to the next

And if I try to juggle many at once, I don't think any progress would be made since I'd probably be learning too many at once

My squan is a YuXin Little Magic M. Unfortunately I live in a country where buying things from official cube stores / amazon would be really expensive and cumbersome, so I had to rely on local shopping apps, and those don't seem to offer cap color choices or standalone caps

So my only choice seems to be manually painting/dying. Ideally I'd want to keep the slight glossiness, but if not that's also fine, as long as the color doesn't peel or have a sticky texture. If it works, maybe I'll try it on my square-2 too

But this is purely because I think black looks better, so maybe it's not worth all the hassle

Whenever I start to turn at >3 TPS, the cube would very often lock up, gets corner twisted, or just fly off my grip. Why is that?

The cubes aren't bad, they're fairly lubricated. My hands usually aren't shaky or slippery, yet it keeps slipping and jamming when I turn quickly. It would tremble and shake like I'm trying to force the moves or something. And I'm not nervous or anything, I only cube leisurely mostly by myself

The problem usually happens with smaller cubes, and it's also more apparent every time I return from a break
