Can you remember Winamp? It was the music player to have back in the day. There was also a plugin that that added LEDs & speakers that attached to the player.

Inspired by this, my PXR MIDI Player now has these optional additions...

[23:54:36] Connected to #testing on irc.lucy.bz
[23:54:47] ety: oh hi!
[23:55:04] ety: here is some text and stuff printy
[23:55:13] ety: but even more juicy is an image, you want to try it? I know you do
[23:55:17] ety: https://i.ety.onl/xaFE4/bIGADETA41.png/raw

Immediately below the last line of the IRC log (containing the link), a small graphic taking about a third of the width of the paper is printed.

The graphic is mostly black, but contains a grainy image of a person looking off to the side, with a hand up by their head.

19 bare computer motherboards - circa 1990 to 2010, laid out in a grid on the floor.
