Turkish developers, by the looks of it? Perhaps folks aren't quite sure what makes for the cozy game phenomenon and are doing a bunch of different prototypes/mockups to see what gets wishlists/attention and thus is worth developing further

Panel 1: Top-down-ish perspective of Shen pushing his shopping cart into a checkout aisle. He is looking up at a sign attached to the aisle, that reads "EXPRESS LANE - 12 ITEMS OR LESS"

Panel 2: Shen picks up two bags of carrots in his shopping cart, saying "Aw jeez. The carrots are in two bags, so I think I technically have 13 items."

Panel 3: Shen rubs the back of his head, smiling with a twinge of nervousness but also clearly accepting the situation. He says "ah, well, I'm sure they'll understand..."

Panel 4: Shen is blindfolded and on his knees in front of the wall in the parking lot behind the store, with his hands tied behind his back. The cashier, still in apron, is pointing a rifle at him.

That is so, though the GPU will most likely survive loading a little texture and freeing it up as soon as you've copied its pixels into a buffer. If image dimensions were in thousands of pixels, perhaps having a native extension decode pixels straight into a buffer would win you some milliseconds.

Don't have to do it that way in semi-recent GameMaker versions, you can get RGBA data from a surface into a buffer and then peek around it as you please, like so:

$Code snippet: function scr_test() { var spr = sprite_add("test.png", 1, false, false, 0, 0); var width = sprite_get_width(spr), height = sprite_get_height(spr); var surf = surface_create(width, height); surface_set_target(surf); draw_sprite(spr, 0, 0, 0); surface_reset_target(); var buf = buffer_create(width * height * 4, buffer_fixed, 1); buffer_get_surface(buf, surf, 0); var peekx = 3, peeky = 4; var ofs = (peekx + peeky * width) * 4; show_message($"Pixel at {peekx},{peeky}:" + "\n" + $"Red: {buffer_peek(buf, ofs, buffer_u8)}" + "\n" + $"Green: {buffer_peek(buf, ofs + 1, buffer_u8)}" + "\n" + $"Blue: {buffer_peek(buf, ofs + 2, buffer_u8)}" ) }$

There's a handful of localization systems for GameMaker now, you get to pick what you like (or what might work with tools that you already use) github.com/bytecauldron...

Flat (no sections/groups) systems like pictured work well for little games and less well once you have hundreds of strings.

A quick drawing depicts:

A massive sword is stuck in the ground.

A smug-looking white cat is sitting atop of its hilt, tail twisting around the grip and hanging over blade.

A speech bubble points at the cat and reads "Peace was never an option"

A token for a somewhat smug-looking alligator, snout poking out of the token frame.

Functionally this is a mix of various pf2e crocodiles and alligators to match level/size/action variety requirements.

You could, but you'll have to find/make an editor for this binary format they're using (perhaps [...string lengths][...strings without delimiters]) and re-apply your patch after each update, which is higher-effort than a CSS snippet

Unlike many other elements of potential interest, these menu items do have IDs assigned to them, so you can just
div#user-context-ban {
&:before {
content: "Behead";
}
> div[class^="label"] {
display: none;
}
}

If that's still a thing, I've had similar in some tool on Ubuntu (not FA, apparently?) and that turned out to be system simulating a click before each tablet pen stroke.

Linux version of FA doesn't seem to have the tablet dialog like Windows does¹, but it does still have that mystery checkbox²

"Select Pen Pressure API" dialog in Fire Alpaca that's accessed through "menu: File ➜ Stylus Pressure API Settings".

The dialog shows options as PC + Pen Tablet, Tablet PC, and Touch PC + Pen Tablet.

"menu: File ➜ Brush Environment Settings" spotting a checkbox labelled "Check if there is a problem with HUION Tablet"

I drew a font that's supposed to resemble something you'd see in a 90s cartoon/anime depicting a computer monitor.

Found this really useful tool for converting spritesheets into fonts: yellowafterlife.itch.io/pixelfont

Fun bit of trivia: although the support portal only shows you your tickets from the last year (?), they are stored indefinitely and will be included in your personal data package.

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out about the change in behavior of the Home and End keys in the Discord text chat. This change is part of the recent updates to Discord's text box functionality. The Home and End keys now move the caret to the beginning and end of the paragraph instead of the visual line, which is a new intended behavior.

Here are a few things you might find helpful: [...]

[Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking]

1
SOCRATES:
Plato..

PLATO:
Yes Socrates?

2
SOCRATES:
Can you tell me, are you human?

PLATO:
Why… yes, Socrates

3
SOCRATES:
And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is?

PLATO:
Um, yep

4
SOCRATES:
So you can tell me, then

5
[Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel]

SOCRATES:
*Is that a chariot*?

6
PLATO:
Well
that’s more just a bit of wheel

7
SOCRATES:
So not a *chariot*.

PLATO:
No.

8
SOCRATES:
[Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes]

So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*?

9
PLATO:
Well you can’t tap any of them really

10
SOCRATES:
So are we not human?

PLATO:
‘Spose not.

11
[Bleak pause]

12
PLATO:
I’ll get the hemlock

SOCRATES:
Yeah
