The Weekly Bits - (2+2) = ?

This edition of the Weekly Bits was written by Jackbusters, an extremely active community member and also self-proclaimed Meshcaid Historian. Enjoy!

Another wild Weekly Bits has appeared! This time with a twist. Exabyte has become so immersed in his code that he has forgotten how to write in English. Fear not, Jackbusters is here to translate. This Weekly Bits will be primarily focusing on the progress of the client. There has been a ton of progress over the past few months, progress of which will be shared in this edition.

That’s it for this week’s edition of The Weekly Bits! Tune in next week for more. Oh- and one more thing- courtesy of Exabyte.

Note: This won't actually be available. It was just funny that we even have it.
