I’m pretty sure Keeeeeeeeef plays it.

Indeed, I've been playing the update for a couple days now. Made a couple vacation homes for happy customers earlier today!

Getting Redd a shop on Harv's Island is going to save a lot of my sanity.

Making the vacation homes has proven to be fun just because you're given so much freedom. The clients are not picky (they give you a theme and ~3 items that must be included), and then the game makes a category for all the items it thinks fit the theme as well. You're not limited to using those things, though, and whatever you do use is completely free. It's really just an excuse to build different kinds of rooms, for free, that you can visit later.

I haven't unlocked the building/business stuff yet, but I am looking forward to actually having a work pizza place that I get to design.

The home/island design is probably my least favorite part of the game, so I'm still passing on the paid DLC. That said, if I get bored enough with the base game, maybe that'll change.

I might have to check out this update, but I’m terrified at how snarky my islanders are going to be since I haven’t seen them in like a year

Just give them some full body tights, it'll smooth things right over.

Old news from a week ago, Nintendo Switch has outsold the Wii: 103m - 101m

And Switch is 5 years old, still on sale in the market with years left on its life. By comparison Wii production ended after 7 years.

It still has a way to go to beat the biggest selling Nintendo device, the DS which has 154m sold, or the king, PlayStation 2 with 155m.
