Beyond dice question

I started so far back that a list of "random numbers" could actually be found to repeat after a while but over the years that list got so long it took another computer to to notice.

I started so far back that a random number generator was new not all computers came with them. Pre PC. Pre internet. If I remember correctly on of the first PCs was found to have a RNG only about 10 thousand numbers long before it started to repeat.  It was quickly fixed in the next chip and reprogrammed to cover any repeating 

Those same computers, and by the way calculators, also has large number errors. For years some calculators gave different answers to the same problems.

 Floating point math is still a potential source of error. 

Virtual dice in Beyond aren’t truly random, but they use strong pseudo-random generators combined with physics engines to simulate realistic rolls. As Davyd explained, factors like CPU load, system clock, and even dice “weight” skins help seed unique outcomes. The key is unpredictability and fairness, you can’t foresee the next roll, and results don’t favor certain numbers in any meaningful way. For tabletop play, that’s effectively as random as physical dice.
