What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 2001
A directory that tracked new releases of open-source software, mostly for Unix-like systems, with user reviews and ratings.
Started in 1997, it was the first web-based aggregator of software releases. Renamed Freecode in October 2011, it stopped updating in June 2014. Since 2023 its address redirects to the SourceForge homepage.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2001 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2001, then plays a short scene. Want Freshmeat in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
