How can I create a text that tells me the current date and time based on the device?
in gdscript

var datetime: String = Time.get_datetime_string_from_system()
print(datetime)

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.3/classes/class_time.html#class-time-method-get-datetime-string-from-system

If that's not the format you want, call the get_datetime_dict_from_system() method to get the individual components, and build your own string.
