I'm kind of "abusing" ESPHome for this but it's somewhat easy to do prototyping, so I made a cosplay prop test with an ESP32 and a HUB75 matrix (with an external library) to make this work.
Couldn't figure out the random delay yet but so far it's random enough to not be visible lol

#

Next thing I want to try is to make it entirely usable offline too, with some more faces to choose from. This is supposed to be used on-the-go then and only updated at home, tho no idea where to start with a web interface yet lol.

Ah, yeah slightly :)
It's an older project already so not sure if it'd still work as it is right now, and it's probably very janky too as I don't know how to code properly.

But here's the script itself:
