Thought that's Laplace's demon on start lol, because that's the only one related to determinism.
appearing on startup means there's no user input so no random values
... No? I mean, yes, you can do that? Just measure some physical quantities (most commonly temperature, or circuit electric noise) and take a few less significant bits, now you have some nice entropy to feed to your prng. That's basically how most cpus we use today generate random numbers.
... What am I talking about. It's an old-ass (no pejorative meanings intended) game console >:(
