Howdy
Finally got an issue out on time. Hah. Mostly because I'll be traveling today and tomorrow. There's also a chance that the webpage for this issue isn't live, since I need to build the website. However, since my monitor on my laptop decided to break last week, and I haven't been able to fix it yet, I might not have the chance to rebuild the site while hopping between airports. This will most likely be the case for today's and tomorrow's issues. Anyway, here it is!
