Delighted to have rediscovered this historical artefact in an old moving box, and amazed it still works. Approach me with care until the battery runs out.

Sorted out some caching on my Koyaanisqatsi generator because Giphy just told me off for hammering their API. Took them 8 years to notice!

Been really enjoying picking up the randomiser stuff again - it's such a specific type of technology, carefully writing templates and word lists. It has a deliberateness you can't achieve in AI slop whilst also having the fun of mashing buttons and seeing what bullshit I can make it spit out.

Fixed another broken old game.
Can you guess what year the newspaper was published?

Looking back, I probably have split this into two games and reskinned it for the music press one. Different audience.

Removed any broken shows (when you make anything with a database of YouTube videos, you notice quite what a transient site it is) and added a load of ones that had been uploaded since I made it.
