Cities: Skylines 2 released in a less than ideal state, and most of the talk around the game has centred around how Colossal Order intends to fix various issues with the game's performance. Now, the studio has resumed its weekly "CO Word of the Week" feature—last sighted in 2018—to keep players updated on its progress. Specifically, at least for the first post, its progress on garbage patches and roaming gangs of stray dogs. What's going on over there, you guys?

Baldur's Gate 3 just received its fourth major patch. Once more, the thing's big enough to break the Steam notes. While there aren't any new major features—like the third patch's appearance-changing mirror or, equally as important, letting small characters kiss Karlach—it's still packed with changes.
