This proves that finally the Unity Vulkan renderer is in good shape, URRAH!

Thank you devs.

Quoting: g000hAww. And there was me thinking they had rewritten their games to Z80 machine code, and putting out ZX Spectrum titles you can load from tape drive.
Amiga, C64, Spectrum, AtariST and other retro machines are still alive.
Games are actually being developed, take a look there:

They are doing crazy things, really, like porting prince of persia to the intellevision:

Quoting: Laboratoryo_ni_NeilIs this new feature of the Linux Steam client the answer to my question linked below?

Nope.
It downloads precompiled shaders, but it does not precompile.

There is a new "allow background processing of Vulkan shaders" option, that when enabled does appear to precompile :)

Maybe i'm missing something, but how can it knows in advance what shaders the game will need?
Do you have a source?

Steam Cloud Gaming confirmed with Steam Cloud Play

I think they are a bit late versus stadia, so by now it is Geforce Now only.
Steam has the software and everything needed to provide cloud gaming, maybe they just need more time.

I don't want to be polemic, but everytime i read "stylish" on a GOL headline, i expect something with schematic graphic and poor graphic content.
My main language is italian, so i went to learn better what stylish means in english, and here's what i found:
Google:
"fashionably elegant and sophisticated."
Cambridge English Dictionary:
"1. of a high quality in appearance, design, or behaviour
2. of a high quality in appearance…."

I don't really think Sarawak can be defined "stylish".
Is it just me?
