What it does
On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.
The site, in 2007
A comment hosting service that lets blogs and websites add comment threads with user profiles, spam filters and moderation tools.
Daniel Ha and Jason Yan started it as a Y Combinator project while undergraduates at UC Davis. In March 2011 it was used by 75% of websites with a third-party comment system. Zeta Global bought it in December 2017.
In 2007: Built over the summer and launched on 30 October.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
