Fuse survey

Hello fellow fuze users it's been a while since I've posted here! I've come to ask a favor from the community. I'm studying computer science, and some requirements are to take certain classes like writing. currently we are working on a paper about discourse communities. This is the best community I know that shares my interests. If you happen to stumble across this post, it would be greatly beneficial to me if you answered a few questions. skip some if you can't think of an answer but if I get enough participation, I will probably throw in one or two prizes to random participants. (most likely global steam keys due to the verity of user's locations).
How did you find fuze and what made you interested in joining the community?
What are one or more goals you have when it comes to fuze and participating in the forum?
What are some words or phrases that you use almost strictly to other community members?
How often do you find the feedback you receive from the community beneficial?
Deadline to qualify for potential prizes would be Wednesday the 19th 7am MST

Hello!
How did you find Fuze, and what made you interested in joining the community?
I first came across Fuze back in 2019 while googling for a game engine for the Nintendo Switch. At first, I barely touched it, but a few months later, I discovered this community, and that’s what really pulled me in.What are one or more goals you have when it comes to Fuze and participating in the forum?
Seeing people enjoy my games! (I’ve only made two so far, but hey, gotta start somewhere.)What are some words or phrases that you use almost strictly with other community members?
Probably "can someone help me?"How often do you find the feedback you receive from the community beneficial?
Always. None of my friends are into game design or playing videogames, so this community is the only place where I get real feedback. And honestly, it’s incredible—everyone here is super talented, and their advice is like gold to me. -

I enjoyed simple game programming when I was a kid, and more recently I had made some stuff in Scratch to see if I could interest my kids in programming. After that I had an itch to get back into game dev for fun, so I started looking at Gamemaker and SmileBasic, but somehow found out about Fuze, bought it and then fell in love with it. I think especially the helpful community made me feel like I had found the thing for me. I also loved the idea of the regular gamejams.
What are one or more goals you have when it comes to fuze and participating in the forum?
Have fun. Help people out by sharing what little I have learned about Fuze and amateur game developing. Create fun games for other to play!
What are some words or phrases that you use almost strictly to other community members?
"Bisque", "Recursion limit exceeded again!", light-hearted jokes about when the next patch will appear...
How often do you find the feedback you receive from the community beneficial?
Quite often. I love getting feedback.

How did you find fuze and what made you interested in joining the community?
I think niche programming languages that run on platforms other than desktop computers are cool, so a Switch-based coding environment is inherently appealing to me. I'm also interested in indie/homebrew game dev in general. I think I first found FUZE when I was looking through lists of Switch games to find things that might interest me when I first got my Switch.
What are one or more goals you have when it comes to fuze and participating in the forum?
I especially enjoy working with 3D, so a lot of what I've done with FUZE has involved building systems that make 3D development easier (e.g. level editor, keyframe animation, shader tricks for graphical effects). I'm working on building my own OpenGL-based 3D engine, mostly for my own education, and FUZE has been a fun entry point for exploring what aspects of game engine development particularly interest me.
What are some words or phrases that you use almost strictly to other community members?
Like vinicity said, bisque and recursion are two community-specific memes that I particularly appreciate.
How often do you find the feedback you receive from the community beneficial?
I enjoy watching/hearing about people engaging with stuff I've made, so gamejams have been an especially fun part of the community for me.
