Learn how he did that, why it's not actually a translation layer, what other mod of his is actually about translating things, why he despises NeoForge, how he feels about Sinytra Connector, why he enjoys porting, and more! Now with 100% more blue!

In spite of the lack of topics to discuss, the crew must continue on with the show.
