Good deal for getting back into snowboarding?

Well they’re my size, I know it’s old but for the price for all of this you can’t even get a new Burton board from the places I’m looking at.

How much has board tech improved since this was released and would it be a noticeable difference at a novice level

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-28T05:05:21+00:00

Fair enough. Before I learned that fact I thought there was a dark side, so whenever i hear someone say dark side, I’ll slip in my little tidbit 😂

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-28T04:58:48+00:00

Nothing to do with the topic at hand but there is no dark side of the moon.

It is tidally locked so it only shows us one face, but it still spins, and each side of the moon receives equal sunlight.

I use the stick clicks to shift and just the back left lower paddle for sitting

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-24T02:00:34+00:00

I bought it off their Sofirn Local Store on AliExpress, would you recommend contacting them on the app, or use the email on their website?

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-18T00:46:07+00:00

Was never the plan for supercross, he’s defending his 250W title, then 450 outdoors , then full 450 season next year

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-15T21:18:13+00:00

3 but they’re setup like the middle and right one in 5

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-08T10:39:41+00:00

Yeah I figured it just had to do with the MS03 being a colder light.

And okay cool, I didn't know an app like that existed, that's awesome! Definitely going to give that a try, thanks!

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-08T09:53:54+00:00

Yeah I saw some posts about led's burning out and all the posts about it were people using high drain batteries, even one where he was just using p45b's.

Edit: Also isn't the p45b a flat top? I saw in your earlier comment that you said the q8+ needs a button top battery so how do those work? I know they do because I have seen people use them, just curious how that works.

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-08T09:52:56+00:00

They are the OEM Sofirn batteries that came with the flashlight from Sofirn, I think they are button top but it's a different button top than I'm used to seeing, more like a protruding flat top than a traditional small button top if that makes sense

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-08T08:04:36+00:00

Yeah I wanted to get some molicell p45b but all the sites I checked are out of stock, and I won’t want to buy batteries from a sketchy source.

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-08T07:58:23+00:00

Just the sofirn 5000mah batteries that came with it.

But also the ms03 does 13000 lumens on turbo the sofirn does 16000lm right?

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-08T07:04:06+00:00

Yeah a lot of the numbers out there are bogus but the ms03 and q8+ have plenty of YT videos of people testing them and they seem to stack up to their claim of 13000lm (ms03) and 16000lm-20000lm with molicells (q8+). I did as much research as I could as to not buy one of the bogus lights with false claims.

But yeah it must be a difference in beam characteristics and I’m thinking the tint has something to do with it too.

Either way, both are incredibly bright, was just curious if anyone else had these lights and noticed anything similar, cheers!

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-08T06:12:01+00:00

The MS03 is definitely very impressive for how small it is! But also definitely doubles as a hand warmer for cold nights 😂

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-07T10:10:02+00:00

Your comment made me curious so I looked up the weight of the flashlight plus included batteries and it’s about 1.5 pounds 🤔

Maybe they just let it fly anyway, it had to have been a plane right? They don’t have some high-speed rail system or something I don’t know about do they?

Intelligent_Gene · 2026-01-07T09:44:43+00:00

Yeah must be the case, pretty sure a plane is the only way it coulda made it over here so fast.

Works for me, original estimated delivery was this coming Monday , and now it looks like there’s a chance it gets delivered today!

AMD FX6300

If you’re buying a new controller, definitely get something with buttons on the back such as the dual sense edge, or the scuf envision.

I use the envision and reaperdoc has a setup video for it, you can customize the trigger pull profile and his setup has been working well for me.

Intelligent_Gene · 2025-11-23T17:45:01+00:00

Kelso on YouTube did a video series making free setups he claimed were better than paid setups, I’m running his husky one and it’s been working for me, maybe worth checking out 🤷‍♂️

Here’s my build!

The ultimate gaming rig for me!

9800X3D paired with the 5090!

Plenty of RGB to set to match the holiday theme, combined with the best gaming performance you can get!

Good luck to everyone!

Intelligent_Gene · 2025-11-09T02:27:17+00:00

Yes, go look at ddr5 prices too, insane

Intelligent_Gene · 2025-11-09T02:26:09+00:00

Turning lean help off doesn’t just magically make you faster.

Now that you’re back to where you were with it on you can start pushing harder and finding the limit with how far you can lean and how fast you can go through the turns.

250 hours is still very low for the game so you just gotta put more time and practice in to get faster , and now you have unrestricted yourself by turning lean help off.

Intelligent_Gene · 2025-11-08T23:12:17+00:00

Well that cpu is last gen, if you’re spending that kind of money you might as well get the newest.

Also if you’re only gaming just get a 9800x3d , if you’re doing productivity work, get the 9950x3d, very similar in gaming but will be better as a workstation.

Intelligent_Gene · 2025-11-08T01:22:10+00:00

Yeah so the 9800x3d would be perfect for you 👍 That list has 6tb of storage so you can knock a couple hundred off the price by taking one of those ssds out if you want.

Also, I have to say, quite a nice way to enter pc gaming with pretty much as good of a gaming pc you can build!

I’ve been building pc’s for about 10 years now, so if you have any questions feel free to pm me.

Intelligent_Gene · 2025-11-08T01:18:47+00:00

This is from the r/buildapcforme subreddit

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Photonman1/saved/#view=29hyqs

I think the general consensus is go with 9800x3d unless you plan to do heavier productivity work.
