What it does
On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
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 2015
A website by the Brooklyn author and coder Jonathan Basile, based on Jorge Luis Borges' 1941 story of the same name.
Launched in 2015, it holds every possible 3,200-character page built from 29 characters, working each out from its address. Search for any text and it shows a page containing exactly those words.
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.
