minus-squareIced Raktajino@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up31·3 days agoPro tip: It’s still a puzzle if you take it apart and put it back together in the right order. Just a different type of puzzle lol. (Taking the stickers off and rearranging them is still cheating though).
minus-squareDagwoodIII@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·3 days agoI like puzzles and games. Deciding which ones I am going to pursue and which I’m going to ignore is an interesting way to examine myself. Tried and dropped the Cube early on. Recently tried Pips, stopped after I saw that I was just annoying myself.

minus-squareJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoI messed up the algs so much for SQ1, I pretty much had to have the moves pulled up. I’d say ghost cube is pretty wild, if you go in blind. Once you figure it out, it’s pretty fun.
