Valve announces Steam Cloud Play, is in beta phase, works with NVIDIA’s GeForce Now service
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/valve-announces-steam-cloud-play-is-in-beta-phase-works-with-nvidias-geforce-now-service/
Valve has just announced Steam Cloud Play. According to the company, Steam Cloud Play will allow you to play via cloud a select number of games, and is currently in a beta phase. Moreover, Steam Cloud Play supports NVIDIA’s GeForce Now cloud service. This is currently the only Steam Cloud Gaming service that Steam Cloud Play supports. However, Valve may add additional cloud gaming services in the future.
Going into more details, Steam Cloud Play will give Steam users more options on where and how to play their PC games. Contrary to Stadia and similarly to GeForce Now, PC gamers won’t have to buy new copies of their games to play. As we’ve already stated, though, this service supports only a select number of games.
Furthermore, Valve and NVIDIA revealed that developers must manually opt-in the games they wish to make available on the service. As such, you may not find your favorite triple-A games.

MODS/EMULATORS

This Stardew Valley mod adds six cute new shops to the base game
https://www.pcgamer.com/this-stardew-valley-mod-adds-six-cute-new-shops-to-the-base-game/
Stardew Valley's Pelican Town has a total of two shops. There is Pierre's General Store and, of course, the misery pit that is JojaMart. Pierre's has everything you need to become a successful farmer, but what if you want to set work aside for a moment and just treat yourself? The Garden Village Shops mod will help you do just that.
The Garden Village Shops mod created by Tarniyar adds six new shops to Stardew Valley, which include a florist, diner, bakery, clothier, artisanry, and machine shop. Each comes with a friendly shopkeeper and an array of modded items and recipes that you can't buy in Pelican town. A few of my favourite purchases have been chamomile seeds, parsley seeds and shortbread cookies. You can even buy Absinthe if you really want to let loose.
