Pricing for a damaged iPhone 6

Kevmeister — Thu, 22 Nov 2018 20:52:36 +0800

Hello there.

I have a rather dated iPhone 6 that I can no longer use. Here are some details about it:

64GB capacity
Minor crack on the side of the screen
Motherboard/battery is a little bent
Unable to read SIM card
WiFi functionality is still working just fine

The battery is faulty, but it has not been changed. The official Apple centre clarified that the motherboard has been bent to the point where the changing the battery would not be viable.

Technically, it is still functioning to a capacity, and I'm not sure how else to dispose of it.

I was wondering if there is still value to it, and to whom am I able to sell it to.

Darkening of Tristram (Mini Event)

Kevmeister — Wed, 09 Nov 2016 19:39:27 +0800

This is another yearly recurring event that will be included for Reaper of Souls/Adventure Mode by Blizzard for Diablo III. Note, this will only be available on January every year.

So far, after testing it on PTR, here is a summary of it:

There will be specific Achievements on your Achievements list for doing things such as killing Uniques that only spawn within the event, starting the entire event with a level 1 character, etc.
Limited Transmogs of items
Old items will drop (but with crappy stats) such as Plates, Quarter Staffs, etc. for those who have played Diablo I
The graphics and slight stutter makes it feel like a retro 16-bit game
the levels are a lot more straightforward than the actual Diablo I's by comparison
You will have to run multiple times to complete the achievements
Certain achievements give you Portrait, Banner patterns, and pets

So that's the summary from my testing. Nice addition but I think they could do better with the PTR patch, it's too focused on this limited-time event.

Asexuality - Some facts about Aces

Asexuality - Some facts about Aces

Kevmeister — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 08:13:19 +0800

Some relationships may seem normal (either hetero or homo) but there's a level of depth when it comes to sexual orientations and relationship. Perhaps this comic from tumblr could help you guys identify if someone is an ace, and how you can still maintain a romantic (or if he/she is an aromantic) relationship with them.

Warning: heavy image loading

(Reserving more spots after this so please don't post anything until I've given the green light)

Attractions at Old Klang Road

Kevmeister — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:21:13 +0800

Hey peeps, could you list a number of shops and activities that are available along this road? For research and stuff. Just list them and if possible links so I can do more research on them.

Thanks.

Pickin' up Genmaicha love

Kevmeister — Mon, 12 Jan 2015 15:22:50 +0800

Hey peeps! Was wondering I could get some answers on this. For awhile now, I've been tasting the flavours of Genmaicha from Sakae Sushi restaurants, and I actually like the aroma.

Question is, aside from Sakae Sushi, where can I go to purchase them? Any brand for recommendation that is friendly on the pockets?

Working on a book

Kevmeister — Sat, 22 Nov 2014 23:22:06 +0800

Hi guys, I've been working on a book and had just finished Chapter 1, and would love for you guys to give me your review (be as brutal and honest as possible).

A little about the story
==============
The story's setting will be mainly in Malaysia, based on characters whom discovers that they have innate abilities. Heavy influence from X-Men and Heroes, as well as supernatural elements later on.

If you have any questions, just ask. Attached is the draft.

Eager to hear from you guys

EDIT: I've uploaded the latest revision of Chapter 1, along with Chapter 2. Thanks for the feedback!

Hook-up or stay virgin

Kevmeister — Tue, 18 Nov 2014 18:58:18 +0800

TL,DR; 27, single for as long as I can remember, virgin. Should I hook-up or just wait it out?

=====================

Long story:
Finding love is the least of my priorities until 3 years back when I 'came to term' that I wasn't straight. Anyway, cutting to the chase. Thinking about homo-eroticism and how coitus is performed in that sense has gotten me to think twice about that part of courtship. Tons of questions, if not, skepticism on whether I should just 'do the nasty' with someone, but being an over-thinker, it has prevented me from doing so.

So the question still stands, should I go hook-up with someone, so I know how things go and be a little more experienced in that? Or should I just wait it out, or just stay as a virgin (being that the latter seems like the only option in my predicament?)

Switching Career

Kevmeister — Mon, 17 Nov 2014 14:26:45 +0800

A little preface on this:

I have a flair for writing, but I realized that most jobs in our country currently offered for writing is either lacking possibilities of self-improvement, or the job is just mundane. So, I've decided to pursue a career pertaining to helping others, something akin to counseling or consulting.

Problem is, where and how do I go about in doing so? I have no papers to support my claim or skill in providing help to others, but I strongly agree with the many recommendations in career for people of the Myer Briggs' INTJ, especially the ones about consulting to be something I could make use of, as I have an innate ability and intent on listening to others and offer to provide solutions where necessary, and want to make it as my career.

Would appreciate some advice with this.

Up and Coming Youtubers

Kevmeister — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 10:51:59 +0800

Kevmeister — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 10:46:50 +0800

Second day 2day, but opis manyak amoi. Too bad I ghey.

Are there any weekend part-time jobs?

Kevmeister — Mon, 03 Nov 2014 22:49:34 +0800

Was thinking if there are any jobs that are catered for weekenders as I want to do something more on the weekends. Weekdays, will most likely be held up by a full-time job, so was thinking of say, a barista position in those non-commercialized coffee shops.

I don't mind picking up a skill or two and doing something different as well.

So fellow forummers, what would you recommend?

Oh, and if possible, within PJ.

Halloween is here!

Kevmeister — Fri, 31 Oct 2014 08:35:10 +0800

Inb4 takutz.

Diablo III Pickup Lines

Kevmeister — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 18:29:29 +0800

As we got to chatting in the clan chat, we found out that there are so many aspects in it that allows us to form really cheesy and corny pickup lines related to the game, and heck, some can be a turnoff but you know deep down inside that it's funny. Do you have any to share? Feel free to post it here. Let's get the ball rolling:

"Gurl, are you Maghda? Cause you're giving me butterflies in my stomach."
