What it does

On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 11 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 2010

A site that traces the true origins of famous quotations, many of them sent in by readers.

It has been run under the pen name Garson O'Toole since 2010. In 2017 he published many of his cases as a book, Hemingway Didn't Say That.

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.
