What it does
On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.
The site, in 2011
A Japanese video site where viewers' comments scroll across the picture as it plays. The name is the Japanese sound for smiling.
Its first version borrowed YouTube as its video source, until YouTube blocked it and it went dark for two weeks. It won a Good Design Award in 2007, and was known as Nico Nico Douga until 2012.
In 2011: Had over 23.69 million registered users and 1.39 million paying ones. Free users were limited at busy hours, from 7pm to 2am.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
