What it does

Each round end: If this is your only card here, +1 Power to this card.

Each round end fires as every round finishes.

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.

Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.

The site, in 1998

A webcomic about the staff of a small software company, named after a well-known Windows error message.

Jeffrey Darlington began it on 2 November 1998 and drew it for 26 years. The last strip ran on 1 November 2024.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
