What it does
On reveal: +1 RAM next round.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
RAM is what you spend to play cards.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 1994
A webcam at San Francisco State University that posts a new low-resolution picture of the campus every 20 seconds, fog permitting.
Students Jeff Schwartz and Dan Wong set it up in 1994 for their master's work, inspired by Cambridge's Trojan Room coffee pot webcam. Guinness named it the longest-running webcam in 2008, and an outcry saved it from shutdown in 2019.
In 1994: Set up by Schwartz and Wong with a Connectix QuickCam on a Macintosh from the campus bookstore.
Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.
The Weird Web: One page, one joke, no reason. The internet at its best.
