Bro, I played KCD2 on Ubuntu the day it launched last year. The games themselves are basically a solved problem and have been for a while now. Multiplayer games with anti cheat are the sticking point now, with only a little bit of progress there.

- work is still ongoing to get performance of direct x 12 games on NVIDIA closer to that of windows.


Nvidia is indeed what holds me back. If not for that id be much happier (even though I'll end up with Wayland/KDE, with its quite revolting quirks)

Or... I can just use Linux and have it do the tricky bits plus also play games :)


In addition to all the other replies (because we have computers with powerful GPUs that run Linux, because many other games run on Linux, because all the modern games engines support Linux, etc), in this case one of the devs previous games also runs on Linux: http://store.steampowered.com/app/242110/. That seems like reason enough to at least ask the question of whether they have any Linux plans.


I'm not affiliated with or using dart at all, but what do you think is missing?


I thought it was: There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who were expecting a base 3 joke.


It really is:

There are 10 kind of people in the world: Those who know binary, those who don't, and those who start counting from zero.


There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who know binary, those who know ternary, those who know base four, ..., and those who know that every base is base 10.


It really is:

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who know hexadecimal, and F the rest...


>and those who start counting from zero.

That kills the joke. 'off-by-one' is subtler.


try-with-resources actually came in with Java 7
