I was playing some "Metroid Prime 4" on Switch 2 today, and decided on a whim to snap a few screenshots. On my TV-- an LG C3-- I don't think the game in motion is that far off from a PlayStation 5 title, when you take the 120 Hz and HDR into account.
Click on any of the below for the full 1080p images. The game also has a 60 Hz 4K mode, so bear in mind that the below aren't even as good as the title can actually look in still images-- if I really wanted to show off screenshots, I would have the game in the resolution mode.
But I'm a sucker for 120 Hz in any game which supports it.




Otherwise, having one of those days where I'm sort of "running out the clock" until bed time; had one of those nights where I could tell I was only half asleep the entire time, so I feel worse than if I had just never gone to bed in the first place.
I have a busy next several days!
Tomorrow it's my first deacon mentor meeting in the morning, then in the evening the Knights are honoring me along with my friends Dan and Adrian for pursuing the diaconate. I'm continually floored with humility that God has opened the door for me to potentially serve as an ordained minister, when I can think of a hundred men more qualified than me.
On that note, I'm kicking off the next steps for my liturgical involvements, getting on the schedule for extraordinary minister training and altar serving at "the big church in town." The only way to get over that intimidation is to march right on through it, just like anything else in life.
Tuesday night sees a Pastoral Council meeting, while on Wednesday night I'm running the Liturgy Committee meeting. Thursday, I will be at St. John's for an all-day orientation, from early morning until late in the evening. Then on Friday there is a Zoom-based continuation of that orientation.
Saturday I will be most likely hanging out with some great friends of mine from the Twin Cities, who will be up here to visit. Then on Sunday I am sacristan at Mass. And then on Monday, classes start!
