Quick games update

I just realized that it had been a while since I posted anything game-related.  Heck, I hadn't even updated my "games that have my attention" block since I finished .hack//G.U., and that's been a couple of months now.  So, without further ado, here's what's up in video-game-land.

Warframe - still playing it, well over a year since I started, still enjoying it, and that's nothing short of amazing.  If you've never tried it, and you like shooter-y games, you really should... free to start, and it doesn't have to be expensive to play and enjoy long-term.  Me, I end up spending about $20 every 3 months or so.

No Man's Sky - so, yeah, I double-dipped on this one, caught a decent price on a XBox One physical copy on Amazon.  Do love me some Steam streaming, but a controller with a proper right analog stick is a must for this sort of game, and the 4K UHD stuff is a nice bonus.  I just wish I didn't feel the need to dedicate an extended play session to even start up the game, but there's just so much there there.

Disgaea 5 - a game series with a similar long-play-session issue, but I finally have a way around that... picked up a Switch Lite when it came out.  Now I can basically pause the game at any time, and come back exactly where I left off... mid-Item World for example.  I will finish this game (well, for certain values of "finish" at least... let's say complete the main story line at least, since I know there's a lot of activity that opens up after that point in these games).

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - how can I have a Switch and not have this game to mess about with?  I don't know that I will ever find a need to get involved with the DLC fighters in this game... heck, I've barely touched what's already there, but I'm still thoroughly enjoying it.
