What it does
On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 2 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2011
A joke page where bashing any keys pours out real-looking source code, so anyone can look like a movie hacker.
A send-up of Hollywood's frantic-typing computer scenes, it spread in April 2011 through Metafilter, Gizmodo and Hackaday, and has been copied many times since.
In 2011: Went viral in late April; Gizmodo wrote it up on 27 April.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
The Weird Web: One page, one joke, no reason. The internet at its best.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2011 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2011, then plays a short scene. Want Hacker Typer in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
