What it does
On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 2 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2000
A liberal US political news and commentary site that began as a blog run by Josh Marshall.
It debuted in November 2000, named as a joke on the "talking points memo" argued over in the Lewinsky scandal. In 2012 it became one of the first online-only political sites with a membership scheme. By 2025 it had over 35,000 members.
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.
