game that makes you draw yuri between two mathematical concepts that canonically don’t get along instead of working on artfight refs

(You 🫵 should play Date Math. It’s free and also really awesome. https://akuicia.itch.io/date-math )

i love their designs so muchh 🥹 every character design in this game is peak but i so love the detail that everything w equality is symmetrical and even: 2 hands, 4 wings, 4 eyes. if i took a meat cleaver down his sprite i'd get matching halves

then here inequality is imbalanced, growing another arm, wing, and eye—both new limbs growing on the same side. 5 limbs on his right side, 3 on his left. is either new limb grew on his left side, while still uneven in isolation to the specific limb, would have inequality sporting 4 limbs on each side. (2 arms, 2 wings:1arm, 3 wings)

and like. i just love it, especially now that inequality isn't facing is directly. there's assymetry in his posture and his shoulder is slumping(?) down to the heavier side of him. idk if it's intentional or if it's just cos it looks cool, but either way it's a nice detail

I didn’t expect a game like this to be so cool hehe

I made a support request with a vendor asking if there’s a way to leverage the logic they already have for determining what counts as a business day (it is very critical that this is done exactly correctly and that it never breaks in the future if nobody is maintaining it) when using their API since I didn’t want to have to maintain a separate source of truth for it, and in their response they said:

it is not too hard to do date/timestamp arithmetic

which any developer who has done date/time arithmetic knows is the understatement of the century

Famously everyone thinks so until they take down an important system by forgetting about DST, or leap years, or that leap years don’t happen every 100 years, or that they do happen every 400 years, or not considering implications of people using different calendar systems, even if they’re just slightly different like having weeks start on a different day, or they consider whether the first week of the month is the first full week or the partial week before that, or they format it in a different order.

Then when they finally think, “OK, but I know about that,” then they learn about the leap second, or the negative leap second.

So yes, date math is “too hard”.
