Quoting: Purple Library Guythere used to be a point to the Dvorak keyboard
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does the DVORAK layout even speed typing up significantly? I'm sure nobody's been able to prove that it does yet, and if it does, I'm not sure it's worth the short term muscle memory loss.

Bazzite updated to Fedora 41 with expanded PC gaming handheld support

I am really enjoying Bazzite Desktop Edition so far, even with my NVIDIA GPU. I have a few issues here and there (Firefox has to run in XWayland mode, otherwise it just doesn't boot up sometimes), but nothing like what I experienced on Windows.

Actually, I haven't used Windows in ages. I should probably get rid of that dual boot partition soon...

Quoting: whizseStill, I would love to see four player splitscreen using four keyboards and mice some day. Pure pandemonium! :grin:
I actually did that once, back when I was still on Windows. I used Nucleus Coop to play Content Warning with 4 players split across two monitors.

The trick is get those keyboards that have mouse pads built into them. They're not great for anything requiring fast reflexes, but for a game like Content Warning, it's good enough and we all enjoyed it.

That said, I do agree with neolith here in that multiple gamepad support is better.

Quoting: neolithWhile I agree in general I must say the game looks like it's made to be controlled with MKB – I am not sure how many people would play it via local co-op... :neutral:
Controllers have always been inferior to keyboards and mice as a control scheme, so I'm willing to accept worse controller support as long as a game at least has some.

Also, if the project is using SDL, like most are, then you can receive inputs from multiple keyboards and mice individually.

One more time, developers: please add local coop. :(

Even 2 player coop is good enough.

The game runs like trash on my mid-range PC, and I don't think that's a good thing for any competitive multiplayer game ever. That said, I am using an NVIDIA GPU, so maybe I should see whether other people are facing similar issues.

My device is still stuck on 3.5.17 because of a bug :(.

Quoting: KlaasI still don't know what's going on. Is it single player or multiplayer? If multiplayer – coop or last man standing or whatever?
There seems to be a Dedicated Server option, so yes, multiplayer

Is it... safe to download the Citra forks? I feel like that's asking trouble from Nintendo
