Stardew Valley 1.6 is upon us - and so are several follow-up patches with various bug fixes and quality-of-life upgrades. The latest is 1.6.3, and while the patch notes are very difficult to read, they do include some notable goodies.
Seriously, I'm not sure if it's the font, the color, or some weird quirk of Twitter's image compression, but this tweet is about to send me to the optometrist. Luckily, the big change - "you can now access Clint's shop and geode service while your tool is being upgraded" - was already detailed a few days ago, but there's lots more here.

For example, "harvesting moss now grants 1 foraging exp per moss," "adult mossy green rain trees boost the moss growth rate of nearby trees," and there have been further "adjustments to moss growth," so that it "grows slower on sunny summer days." Big news for my moss-heads out there.
There are also several bug fixes, including one that "was causing excess trash to be fished" - that'll surely be a relief if you've been grinding the fishing minigame. On top of that, this update "adds new cabins to starter layouts for multiplayer" and "you can now paint the new cabins (at 3rd upgrade level)."
1.6.2 already hit last week, and importantly fixed "an issue with Willy's rod," which, well… What more can you say that isn't already being conjured up in your filthy mind? Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone says he's "eager" to get back to working on Haunted Chocolatier but wants 1.6 "bug-free and out to all platforms" first.
Thanks to Stardew Valley's 1.6 update, speedrunners are racing to see who can chug a jar of mayonnaise the quickest.

Destiny 2's latest big update, Into the Light, launched with a hardcore horde mode called Onslaught that at least one member of the development team thought would be impossible for a solo player to complete. You can probably guess where this is going: somebody has already soloed Onslaught on its highest difficulty.
Star Wars Outlaws is set to feature an array of cameos from existing franchise canon, but it's also got an entirely original cast of assassins that'll come after you when you've made a criminal syndicate mad.
Yep, that new CE-27 Ground Breaker armor released as part of the latest Helldivers 2 Warbond really was meant to have a different passive installed, and the devs at Arrowhead are already working on a fix to make things right.
15 years after it first entered development - and nine years after it first hit Early Access - the legendary roguelike RPG Caves of Qud is finally set to launch in 2024. After announcing that news last year, the devs at Freehold Games have now provided a roadmap to launch.

There's dramatic action in the world of Sims 4 sex speedrunning this week, as a longtime record-holder just retook the crown by a tenth of a second.
The Stellar Blade demo is here - for real this time - and on top of offering satisfying parrying and dicing for action game fans, it's also turned out to deliver rock-solid technical performance that'll satisfy you no matter which side of the resolution versus frame rate divide you fall on.
Frostpunk 2 is set to bring a frigid blast of survival-based city building in July, but if you want to get chilly in spring, you'll be able to play the game very soon thanks to a seven-day beta starting April 15.
If I've learned one thing covering Steam games over the past decade or so, it's that people love porn. If I've learned two things, the other is that people love games featuring Dwarves. Deep Rock Galactic has had players singing 'rock and stone' for years, and its Vampire Survivors-style spinoff has been no less popular. Just over a month after the start of Early Access, the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor devs have unleashed a host of stats detailing how players have been getting along so far.
