What it does
On reveal: Add a copy of a random card in your hand to your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
The copy is a fresh card, ready to play.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2015
A web art piece by Cameron Askin that rebuilds the look of GeoCities, collaging text and images from real pages saved from the old site.
More than 700 images from archived pages sit in rows, and clicking many opens a pop-up browser called Catscape Navigator 2.0 that loads a saved GeoCities page. Boing Boing wrote it up in August 2015.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
Net Art: Websites that are artworks, by people who saw the browser as a canvas.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2015 page.
