Smart offers non-expiring load through Magic Data Promo, 24GB for PHP 399

The first telco that offers non-expiring load in the Philippines was from the Globe's digital telco GOMO. Without a doubt, a lot of Filipinos loves this kind of offer because they can have more freedom on how they can use their data. Now, Smart on the other hand, also offer the same promo, a non-expiring load, through their newest promo "Magic Data" where you can purchase a 24GB of data for PHP 399.

The new Magic Data promo of Smart will allow their prepaid subscriber to have a non-expiring load on accessing websites. The following are the rates of the Magic Data:

  • Magic Data 99 – 2GB Magic Data (No Expiry) for all sites
  • Magic Data 199 – 6GB Magic Data (No Expiry) for all sites
  • Magic Data 399 – 24GB Magic Data (No Expiry) for all sites

You can avail this offer by downloading their GigaLife app from Google Play (Android) or App Store (iOS).

Even though Smart's non-expiring load is quite pricey than GOMO's 30GB for P299, the speed you'll get from Smart are more reliable than the latter, especially on other areas where Globe signal are weak.

Silkroad Online SEA Server, Grand Launch Today

Silkroad Online, the mobile version of the classic MMORPG, its grand launch is on 11th March, 4pm. You can download the game right now. Also there are many events with generous rewards on their FB page; the links are at the end of the article.

Silkroad Online is based on a recreation of the Silk Road and the environment throughout the seventh century. The fantasy game's atmosphere is made up of the history, traditions, and myths of the various regions. The settlements you see in the game are the product of a massive amount of paperwork and historical research in order to construct a setting that is as similar to the 7th century as possible. The names of places and other names around the world are derived as directly as possible from historical names. Once you log into the game, you'll see places like Jangan, the Donwhang Stone Cave entrances, and Constantinople, all of which were real sites. The resemblance in the presence and the virtual and the historical is enough to make the player feel like he has really gone back into history.

Many of Silkroad Online's graphics are essentially designed to replicate the reality of the period to provide a historical feeling. But the monsters on the ground and the missions of the NPCs are based on the history and myth of that area and tailored to fit the game, Silkroad Online. So, in addition to the 7th century and reality-based perspective, there are mythological creatures for the players to chase, as well as a variety of quests from the tales to complete; all of this inherently combines history and mythology in the combination that Silkroad Online is.

Since the Merchant, Ranger, and Hunter are all designed to complement or oppose each other, a player can kill or be killed when engaged in a job task. The Merchant seeks to benefit by shipping unique cargo from one location to another, the Ranger seeks to profit through exploiting merchants by theft, and the Hunter is hired by the Merchant to protect him from Rangers. This type of formalized confrontational relationship fosters the development of appropriate, relevant PVP relationships.

How to Fill up YouTube US taxes if you are outside of the US and from the Philippines

YouTube announces today through email that they are starting to deduct U.S. taxes on all content creators outside of the United States (U.S.) for all income generated in the United States of America (USA). Content creators are also asked to fill-up the form before May 31, 2021, or else YouTube will deduct up to 24% in all earnings, not just in the U.S. but worldwide.

  3. Tax info Calculation

The content of the email states the following:

We're reaching out because Google will be required to deduct U.S. taxes from payments to creators outside of the U.S. later this year (as early as June 2021). Over the next few weeks, we'll be asking you to submit your tax info in AdSense to determine the correct amount of taxes to deduct, if any apply. If your tax info isn't provided by May 31, 2021, Google may be required to deduct up to 24% of your total earnings worldwide.

The changes affect all content creators who have viewers from the United States in which their earnings from this country will be reduced by up to 30% depending on the countries' tax treaty. In the Philippines, you can reduce the tax from 0% up to 15%.

Tax Treaty (US and Philippines)

There are some misinformation circulating on YouTube from other content creators that we don't have tax treaty with the US, but we have since 1976 – such treaty will prevent "double taxation", the best example is from the case of Manny Pacquiao in 2003.

If you are a content creators in the Philippines, you can avail of the tax treaty discount by having a BIR (TIN ID) and filling up the W-8ben form. If you're already paying taxes in the Philippines, this is very helpful to avoid double taxation. Take note that when you avail tax treaty, you are encourage to report your earning to the BIR.

For those who does not have TIN yet and wish not to avail the reduced tax using Tax treaty. You can do so, but it will automatically set the taxes to 30% for all earning generated in the United States. This is very bad if most of your viewers are from US. You can get your TIN by signing up on the BIR website or from the nearest BIR branch in your area.

Using the tax treaty between the U.S. and the Philippines, the taxes will be reduced to 0% for Adsense. Other services like Google Play Apps and Movies are down to 15%.

You can check the Tax treaty between US and Philippines here. The mentioned Article on the tax treaty that is applicable for YouTube channels and ads are in Article 8 which is the Business Profits.

"Business profits of a resident of one of the Contracting States shall be taxable only in that State unless the resident has a permanent establishment in the other Contracting State. If the resident has a permanent establishment in that other Contracting State, tax may be imposed by that other Contracting State on the business profits of the resident but only on so much of them as are attributable to the permanent establishment."

"Where a resident of one of the Contracting States has a permanent establishment in the other Contracting State, there shall in each Contracting State be attributed to the permanent establishment the business profits which would reasonably be expected to have been derived by it if it were an independent entity engaged in the same or similar activities under the same or similar conditions and dealing wholly independently with the resident of which it is a permanent establishment."

While for other services like Movies, rent TVs and apps are in Article 13 which is the Royalties.

8 Reasons Why Online Gaming Is Good for You

There's no doubt that gaming is an addictive hobby. Too much of it can be bad for you. However, while there are negatives, there are a lot of positives that should also be taken into consideration. Some studies have shown that it can help reduce stress and anxiety, all while helping grow a variety of different skills. 

Want to learn more? Below, we are going to discuss eight reasons why online gaming is good for you. Let's get started!

Social Benefits

Obviously, one of the main benefits of online gaming is the social aspects. You get the chance to play with existing friends and make new ones while you're at it. In fact, you can connect with individuals from all over the world and work together to complete a variety of different missions. Check out these ten multiplayer games to get started! The best part is, you can play them all on your mobile device.

Entertainment

Gaming is fun, so one of the best reasons to do it is if you're looking for entertainment. Instead of sitting down and watching a television show, you get the chance to react, respond and discover exciting worlds. From simple puzzle games and simulations to open-world adventures full of unique characters. There really is something for everyone.

Multi-Tasking

If you find that you struggle with multi-tasking, then picking up a game controller or sitting down at your computer desk might actually be beneficial for you. Certain games will encourage you to complete multiple tasks at once, and you'll need to focus on different areas of the screen (your health bar and stamina, etc.). You'll become more observant, have a quicker reaction time and learn how to handle stressful situations. All skills that are useful in the real world.

Teamwork

Above, we talked about the social benefits of online gaming but working together also has another significant advantage: Teamwork. You'll be sharing multiple goals, allocating resources, and delegating tasks amongst yourselves so that you can work together to complete the game. This collaboration is crucial for our wellbeing and will also help you with other life responsibilities. 

Creativity 

Playing games can also be a great way to improve and facilitate your creativity. Take something like Minecraft, for example. You can build almost anything that you desire, from small houses to full-sized theme parks! And being able to play online means you can invent alongside your friends. You really do get the chance to let your imagination run wild, and you never know, you may be inspired to create something in real-life!

Problem-solving

In order to advance to the next level, many video games have hidden problems and riddles that you'll need to solve. From split-second decisions to more completed tasks that require trial and error, you can significantly improve your problem-solving skills. Alongside this, you'll be able to retain more information, enhancing your memory and improving your overall thinking ability. There are many studies that back it all up!

Self-regulation

This may sound strange at first, but believe it or not, gaming can help individuals regulate their own emotions. When tasks become difficult and challenging, you'll learn to overcome your anger and frustration so that you can complete the level and move forward. The joy and happiness that come from these achievements are what keep pushing you to try again.

Relaxation

Finally, one of the last reasons why gaming is good for you is that it can actually be relaxing. While this does depend on the type of game you play, sitting down after a long day and completing an activity you love can help you unwind, de-stress and relax. Things like Bejewelled, Flow, Little Wheel, and Home Sheep Home are just a few recommended online games that are perfect if you want to chill out. 

Final Thoughts

When putting into consideration all of the above, its easy to see why gaming can be so enjoyable and is loved by many. However, while these benefits certainly are great, it's still essential to game responsibly. Set yourself boundaries, make sure you spend time with your family and friends in real life and know when it's time to turn off. By following the rules, you can reap the advantages that this excellent activity has to offer.

What do you think? Do you have any great online games that you would like to recommend? 


Silkroad Online confirmed the launch date of its Southeast Asian servers, including the Philippines

Silkroad Online confirmed the launch date of its Southeast Asian servers, including the Philippines

Silkroad Online is definitely one of the names associated with many gamers' childhood, especially to the Generation X and Millennials.

Good news! Silkroad Online Mobile will launch in Southeast Asia (including the Philippines) on 11th March (TBD). And it's available for both Android and iOS devices. Players who have previously participated in FB events or made reservations (still available) will be rewarded when they enter the game.

Silkroad Online is a mobile MMORPG that immerses players in ancient Chinese, Islamic, and European civilizations. In a nutshell, the Silk Road was a significant cultural and commercial crossroads. Roads that once bound ancient Asia and Europe have vanished into the annals of glory and adventure.

The origin of Silkroad Online is the reproduction during the 7th century of the Silk Road and the globe. The fantasy game's atmosphere is made up of the history, tradition, and myths of the different regions. The cities you see in the game are the product of a great deal of documentation and consultation on historical studies so as to create a setting that is as similar as possible to the 7th century. The signs and other names of places around the world are derived as much and as similarly as possible from the names used in literature. When you join the game, you can see places like Jangan, Donwhang Stone Cave, and Constantinople as real places. The resemblance between the simulated and historical presence is adequate to make the players believe like they have truly retreated to history.

The combat is really short and flashy and is focused on character building skills. It was a sight to watch the World Championship players go with their fingers in continuous motion, as they selected various ways of attack on monsters and other players. They have had a long time to develop tournament characters before the match and most people said it wasn't enough, and this reflects the system's difficulty.

U1 Game, the publisher, is also dedicated to make regular free game patches, reminiscent of conventional expansion packs. This include new land, levels and abilities for players to discover and learn. On top of that, there are daily minor changes and bug fixes.

Many well-known YouTubers have experienced Silkroad Online

Unlike other MMORPGs with pre-determined materials, Silkroad Online is a living world. Merchants take risks for fun on the large paths, while Rangers plan to rob their merchandise. Despite the high danger of commerce, Hunters would be present to defend Merchants and bring an end to Rangers' mischief. The first idea a player would have is of a vast universe that is only waiting to be discovered and shook up; a never-ending adventure.

How to use Domain Name on Valheim Dedicated Server instead of IP Address

When you connect to your Valheim dedicated server, you always enter the public IP Address to connect to it such as 192.168.1.122:2456 – this is way hard to remember and sometimes you forgot or lost it when you're trying to play your remote world. It is ideal to use a words instead of numbers for our server, this will also help your players to connect easily without them memorizing these numeric numbers. But did you know you can use a Domain Name like .com, .ph and etc. instead of an IP Address? Yes this is so possible and it works in Valheim.

If you don't have a domain name yet, you can purchase one from any popular domain name service. Either from the following Godaddy, dotPH or namecheap.

Editing Domain Name DNS Records

Once you've successfully purchase your own domain name, you can then go to the product dashboard of the domain service of your choice. Look for your domain name, then there should be a way to edit the DNS (DNS Management) or something. Click or edit on it to change the records.

At the Records, click Add. Then fill it up with the following details:

If you want to use whole domain name to connect to your Valheim server (eg. YOUR_DOMAIN.com).

  • Type: A
  • Host: @
  • Points to: YOUR_VALHEIM_IP_ADDRESS
  • TTL: 1 Hour (43,200 seconds)

If you want to use a sub-domain name instead of the whole domain, you may also edit the host and add the name of your desired sub-domain name (eg. valheim.YOUR_DOMAIN.com).

  • Type: A
  • Host: YOUR_SUB_DOMAIN_NAME (eg. valheim)
  • Points to: YOUR_VALHEIM_IP_ADDRESS
  • TTL: 1 Hour (43,200 seconds)

At this point, you can now connect to your Valheim dedicated server using your domain name. To connect, simply open up the Valheim game.

Select your character then click Start. Then click the Community Tab, there should be Join IP button, click on it.

From here, instead of entering the IP Address, you can now enter your domain name to enter the game and no need to include the additional port number. The port number will automatically selected if you're using the default 2456, no need to forward it.
