a dead internet theory adventure module for cy_borg is the most 2026 thing i've seen all week and i mean that as a compliment. the lore writes itself at this point.

We've spent a lot of time making our Cy_borg adventure module, Dead Internet Theory, as good as possible, and it's finally ready to go to print! This means I'll be closing the pre-order store in 7 days, so it's your last chance to get in on this print run! (link below)

I’m gonna ask for some help. I haven’t done this before and I was trying to avoid but things have been adding up. The birth of our son did not go as expected. We’re all home and safe now but the hospital visit was very expensive. He also had to stay in the NICU for 8 days.
