I actually began going to competitions this year, and that's been a lot of fun. Although I complain that I don't have the time anymore, this year is when I've been the fastest at all the events I practice (in part, due to going to comps). But it's still all a bit new, though I'm happy I partake in a hobby that has such dynamics to it.
Are you a collector? In my experience, adult cubers tend to be collectors rather than speedcubers, but that may just be my impression.
Wouldn't call myself a collector but I did have a phase when I bought a bunch of different twisty puzzles. Then I had to move apartments and realized that my puzzles required a large moving box. It's just not sustainable for me so I started giving a bunch away. I still have a drawer full of puzzles but I now only buy puzzles that I'm planning to compete in. Last puzzle I bought was a clock that I just started practicing.
So you're more or less like me :)
I really want to get myself a nice clock before the end of the year, speaking as someone who has never even touched a clock before.
I got the QiYi magnetic clock and it’s great. Granted I have nothing to compare it to… haha
