Is the Gregorian calendar very weird when it comes to the frequency of specific year types?

A full Gregorian cycle lasts 400 years, and interestingly, common years (i.e. those with 365 days) beginning on a Tuesday or Thursday are slightly more frequent than common years beginning in other weekdays. (44 vs. 43 for other weekdays) In leap years, 15 begin on a Sunday or on a Friday, 14 begin on Tuesday or Wednesday and 13 begin on a Saturday, Monday or Thursday.

And if you are wanting to know the frequency of specific days falling on a certain weekday: it's between 56 and 58 times on a full cycle, depending of the year type. E.g. October 19 falls on a Saturday in 57 years of a full calendar cycle, but 58 years have it falling on a Monday and 56 years have it falling on a Tuesday.

It's just me or is the Gregorian calendar very weird?

What games have relatively simple artstyles, but that are still hard to learn & reproduce?

For me Genshin Impact and Hades (including Hades II) are two examples. These games have relatively simple art styles in comparison to e.g. the realistically painted art of certain Blizzard games (WoW, Hearthstone hero portraits), but they are hard to learn even to someone more advanced in art creation.

Reusing names of characters, locations, etc is allowed because they are not subject to copyright (only trademark, and in very specific cases). But it is bad on unfair to do so?
