30/01/2025 - Game Development Woes

So I'm fighting my development environment, because I wanted to add proper seasonal sync to the game (i.e. the game reads the time and tells itself what season it is.) but there's no way to read system time in the environment... Argh!!

So I made a work around.

There is an HTTP request library, so I make a call to worldtimeAPI and extract the date from the response.

Is it clunky?
Yes.

Does it work?
Also, yes.

Sigh... Roblox is a pain...
