Description

Pressing "random selection" button in any playlist always result in the same "randomization seed" / pattern of ROMs after restarting RetroArch.
Tested on x86_64 Linux on a few different PCs and on a SteamDeck, with Ozone and XMB UI drivers.

Expected behavior

I expect RetroArch to randomize selection differently each time after restarting.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Open RetroArch
2. Go to any playlist with games (in my case 500+)
3. Press "randomize selection" a few times and take a note of whatever games came up this way
4. Restart RetroArch
5. Go to the same playlist
6. Press "randomize selection" a few times and get the same exact games
