Channel 2014 - another randomized neverending sadness loop machine

I see that a lot now with 90s nostalgia, granted we're talking about 20 years ago not 4 years ago.

I don't know how hard it is to make it an apple TV app, but apparently making a roku channel is easy, so you could make it a literal TV channel of sorts.

xpost Also, the thing that got me re-excited about this the other day was the realization that something on the edge between documentary and fiction could be a positive distinguishing feature rather than a flaw. It's the Sans Soleil thing. I've always loved documentaries that break out of the really boring structure of interviewing people sitting in chairs with overlaid text with their name and title. I will fall massively short but I hope to make a sort of generative pseudodocumentary that communicates truth versions without being too obvious about it.

history is a set of lies agree upon, the present is an ongoing lie that we haven't committed to yet.

welp, i've decided to put this project on hold and focus on another one that uses the same code but is waaaaaay more coherent (i think):
