Indeed! We had these IRS vans visit semi-regularly and it helps a lot in reducing the number of mosquitoes roaming around. Hell one IRS van visited just last week haha. Love to see news like this! Especially when I saw this happen in front of my eyes :p

Indian censorship is comically bad and living in this country, seeing day-to-day examples of this is a lot of fun. How shit of a direction this country is taking. Talk about a judge being completely out of touch with how Wikipedia works and functions. Dangerous tool my ass, useful tool to keep people in check. They tried blocking Proton now it's Wikipedia... what's next, google??? Since disinformation and misinformation can be found on it too? I swear nothing appeases them except blatant false information pandering to assholes like these.

India is become a censorship haven in all aspects slowly and slowly. It's scary.

Ikr?! Some basic QoL things that got introduced in KotOR 2 made so much sense and on repeat playthroughs of KotOR I kept trying to do those things only to remember they don't exist lol

That mod sounds really interesting!

I really really want to check out their other works, especially FNV. I find it comical how both FNV and K2 were created in such a short time and because of that plagued with issues but both excelled in their writing, storytelling, world-building and as you mentioned, deconstructing commonly established tropes about the franchises (the cherry on top imo).

It definitely took me a while to realise what her true meaning was by those lectures and while I don't fully agree with everything that she says, some of the things do make sense and have a point (if not for being presented in a rather unsavoury way but I think that was the intention) also yes RCM does help with that... a lot! Which makes disagreeing with Kriea in some areas a lot less frustrating.

Jolee Bindo is awesome and the stories he has to share (and the life lessons too) are really really meaningful and it was nice to see someone perceiving the Jedi as flawed rather than do no evil types.

I've always found the first KotOR to be in the vein of a typical Star Wars story (Like the OT one), it's something fun to engage with and fun to follow but KotOR 2 made me a huge fan of the "we'll deconstruct every thing you knew about Star Wars to its core and you're going to like it." approach and boy oh boy do I like it! That story left such a huge imprint on me, I've been yearning for another story as good as KotOR 2's since I first played. Each playthrough, I'm always taken aback by how good it is. They really did craft a masterpiece with this one and it shows. Wish the final game was finished and wasn't so buggy but we have TSLRCM for that ehhehe.

I wish the options were a bit more flexible in that regard ahaha, like if the game said a little maayyybeee, perhaps it would've been smoother.

The IT ministry has reportedly decided to issue an order blocking end-to-end encrypted email service ProtonMail. According to a report in Hindustan Times, the government is planning to block the email service at the request of the Tamil Nadu police over a hoax bomb threat sent to at least thirteen private schools in Chennai on February 8. The report says that the decision to block ProtonMail was taken at a meeting of the 69A blocking committee on Wednesday (February 14).

A Proton spokesperson told the publication that the company has received the request from MeitY “a few days ago”. “We are currently working to resolve this situation and are investigating how we can best work together with the Indian authorities to do so. We understand the urgency of the situation and are completely clear that our services are not to be used for illegal purposes. We routinely remove users who are found to be doing so and are willing to cooperate wherever possible within international cooperation agreements,” the spokesperson said.
