For anyone that isn't familiar with cubing, the only way a busted cube is supposed to be reassembled is in the fully solved state. Otherwise it's practically impossible to solve if you just randomly reassemble it.

But in this case, last night I was practicing, and most of a whole side just popped loose in my hand, mid-puzzle. I knew exactly where I was with the puzzle though, carefully snapped all the pieces back in their appropriate mid-puzzle positions, and managed to successfully solve it from there ๐Ÿ‘

Note: The photo above is a recreation of last night's cube breakdown, same puzzle sequence though.

Don't mind the dots, that's my own custom mod...

Reference regarding the dot holes...

This one started off as a pretty nice feeling speed cube, but I really didn't expect much for $4. Whatever, I've apparently done wore the thing out now LMFAO!

I'm not disappointed, hell I wasn't even good at cubing as a kid, I only picked it up again last year when I got a bug up my ass to do the dice dots mod.

Note: I've tried both left handed and right handed die patterns, the left handed pattern lends itself to a proper Rubik's Cube by far, patterns are much more intuitive.
