https://beej.us/blog/data/mystery-comment/images/wcas.jpg
The author of the 80s microcomputer game The Wizard's Castle embedded machine code in a REM statement to seed the PRNG, which was not immediately apparent due to the use of non-ASCII encoded glyphs. The machine code was later discovered to be a routine that retrieves a random value from the screen and uses it to seed the PRNG, providing a unique randomly-generated dungeon for each game.

Which streaming service was that on again

https://www.timwehrle.de/fileadmin/_processed_/5/4/csm_oscar-nord-Sd87V72cJEU-unsplash_f7aef4745c.webp
I'm a huge movie fan. I'd even call myself a cinephile. The films I enjoy most are the ones that leave me thinking afterwards. What I don't want to think about beforehand is where I can actually watch them. These days, movies are spread across what feels like a hundred different streaming services. I still don't understand why there isn't a better solution for this. Or ...
