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 2009
A webcomic and humour site by the cartoonist Matthew Inman, with comics, quizzes and the odd article.
It began in 2009 and grew to include books, board games and merchandise. It won the Eisner Award for Best Digital/Webcomic in 2014. In 2019 Inman stepped back to work on other projects.
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.
