Switch 2’s best UI refresh is related to the eShop. You can finally see the wish list without digging into sub-menus and you can filter based on what’s on sale, too 🥳

The Switch 2 time format (12 vs 24 hour) is tied to the language setting. A very minor annoyance but one nonetheless

Thimbleweed Park is excellent! Finally got to it, and almost completed it, this weekend.

A well-written and articulated take on the issue of gambling in gaming, which hopefully will eventually lead to change through reporting such as this.
