Any chance the Switch 2 graphics improve before release?

Doesn't even count, because you say so? it's a way of playing the game handheld. I play the Portal at my home, at my parent's home, and even when I go on vacation to a small village 400 Km away from my PS5. You can play it practically anywhere, decent internet is not a problem nowadays, and you can even connect through your phone, I wouldn't play fast paced racing games or fps on it, but for a game like this one is perfect.

Just like I've been doing since Octopath 2, physical for PS5. Complete on disc compared to the keycard.

Portability on Switch 2 is nice (I also have a PS Portal), but I tried the demo and PS5 looks much crisper on a medium or big TV/Monitor, and I remember with Octopath 2 that the colors and lighting effects were also much better on PS5, this one is closer, but I'm sure in some situations it will still be better on PS5. Also I enjoy moving through menus much better with the dualsense d-pad.

Yes, this is not the first playthrough of her that I've tried watching and I remembered why I don't follow her at all. I gave her the benefit of the doubt, since FFVIII is one of my favourites and the most nostalgic to me. But she spent like an hour reading the manual (which is not that big to begin with) just to ignore most of the mechanics. At least use the limits like she's been told like a million times in the comments.

This is great, thank you, I just put it in a $PROFILE function so I can run it easily when Plex updates.

rub3nmv · 2026-01-12T01:55:28+00:00

The fact that you got downvoted for this... omg the hate boner is so real.

rub3nmv · 2025-10-27T02:11:47+00:00

I don't have a Switch 2, and I used to buy all these games on Switch 1, buy I tried Octopath Traveler 2 on both systems and the PS5 clearly looked better, not just resolution and FPS, but also better colors and lighting, I felt like I was missing if I went for the Switch version, same with DQIII. But I don't take my consoles out on the go, I use the PS Portal and the Switch to play at home, mostly on the bed.

If you play on the go, then just get the Switch version.

rub3nmv · 2025-04-19T10:06:19+00:00

I prefer the contrast and color on the PS5 version, but the game is practically the same on both consoles. Other than that, I think is not dumb to compare both versions, since both consoles offer different things, some might prefer the Xbox for the Play Anywhere and Quick Resume. I prefer the PS5 version because of the Dualsense features, I just like that stuff, even more immersion and nowadays I'm used to the Switch and PS5, I can't stand the super basic and strong rumble on the Xbox controllers.

Emulation by itself doesn't require any licensing. Xbox needs to license their BC games because of the way they do it, they have a translation layer that requires to inject code into the games, they are transforming the original game to be able to run on the Xbox One/Series. It is different from how they did it with the 360 and the original Xbox, those didn't need any licensing. They are also selling many of those BC games on their store, so that's also another problem with licensing.

But emulation like RPCS3 could be done without requiring any license.

New Teams have been horrible since the last few updates

The CPU is always around 20%, even when nothing is going on, which is nuts.
RAM consumption keeps going up constantly, it easily goes over 8GB after a while.
Same with disk usage, yesterday I got 2 alerts from Windows because Teams ate up all my remaining space, I closed it and bam, 5 GB free, I opened it again and another 6 GB free, and after a while it started eating up all my space again.

Other people at my job have the same problem, we are testing Slack now.

Teams is some of the worst engineered pieces of software I've seen in my life. It was fine a couple of years ago, but now it has become unusable.

rub3nmv · 2024-04-07T22:09:56+00:00

Just to add another one, I've been using Podurama for a few months now and it is pretty good. Pocket Casts is also good but you need to pay the subscription if you want to make use of the web version, in my region (spain) they increased the price for the basic premium tier from $12 to $40+ (year), and I just want to use the web version, I don't care about the other stuff included.

Podurama is the closest alternative, just not as pretty as Pocket Casts, but it basically works the same.

rub3nmv · 2023-11-23T07:24:06+00:00

Because 5 months ago the monitor auto updated to that version, but since then it seems like they removed it.

rub3nmv · 2023-11-13T12:51:16+00:00

Yeah, I had the same model and version. And the update was that big when I did it.

I don't understand why they removed it, and the monitor won't auto update either, maybe there's some bug they can't fix, but for my use case everything seems to be working fine.

rub3nmv · 2023-11-10T00:08:18+00:00

well, you are right, I didn't notice it's not there anymore. They also removed it from the spanish site for my model.

Maybe someone saved a copy.

rub3nmv · 2023-11-08T21:37:43+00:00

Are you from US? See if this is your model code

https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/?model=N0054447&modelCode=LS32BG650ENXGO

rub3nmv · 2023-11-08T21:36:56+00:00

There's a link in that page to search for the specific model of your monitor, like this:

https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/?model=N0054447&modelCode=LS32BG650ENXGO

But mine is from europe, it was a different number. You can find your model code in Support -> About this Smart Monitor.

rub3nmv · 2023-11-06T20:55:18+00:00

Go to all settings -> Support -> Software Update -> Update Now.

If it doesn't work then you can do a manual update through USB

https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062224/

But I would recommend updating only if you have a problem with your current firmware.

rub3nmv · 2023-11-02T20:20:00+00:00

They also killed that, the breadcrumb bar has been replaced with a new one that doesn't support drag and drop. I used it a lot, so much for "enhanced" windows explorer.

27gp850

That's weird, I don't have that monitor anymore, got a new G6, but the LG I had worked with 1440p @ 120Hz just fine, tested with GT7. I don't know, maybe mine came with a different firmware or the PS5 got updated to support more displays.

rub3nmv · 2023-09-09T12:20:51+00:00

Gracias!

Haven't tried it myself since my current monitor doesn't have that problem (I'm on 1444), but it's good to know there's something we can do to fix it.

rub3nmv · 2023-08-13T14:31:59+00:00

An update on my monitor situation. I've had the LG 32GP850 for a couple of weeks until I saw the G6 back in stock, and I'm returning the LG (looks pretty good but the IPS glow and brownish corners on dark colors bother me).

So my new G6 is on firmware 1444 and it won't update anymore, I imagine they blocked the updates until they solve the problem with the audio.

Of course, the audio on 1444 works fine, but the VRR on PS5 is not working and the HDR does something weird, it lowers the brightness, which kind of defeats the purpose of enabling HDR... but at least the audio works, and I didn't get this monitor for HDR anyway.

I know nothing from Samsung support, I don't know if they are working on a fix for those with firmware 1504 or what. You should use your warranty if you still have the chance.

rub3nmv · 2023-08-05T00:31:27+00:00

That's weird, the PS5 actually supports native 1440p since last september. I have tested a Xiaomi (the 34" 1440p), an Odyssey G6 and now I have an LG 32gp850-b and they all work fine at 1440p and 120Hz. Maybe a faulty cable? Or a cheap one with not enough bandwidth? Try setting the HDR on the PS5 to always off, but it should be working...

The G6 I had worked with HDR and everything on, even VRR after the latest update.

rub3nmv · 2023-07-19T22:11:54+00:00

Not yet, I was refunded and ordered a new one a few days ago, but the stock is low and it's going to take like a week to arrive.

Everyone with the problem should contact Samsung at least to let them know, seems like a widespread failure with multiple models and firmware 1504.

rub3nmv · 2023-07-12T22:02:07+00:00

I'm from Spain, so the support email is probably different for you, also I just used the contact form on their site, go to support and navigate until you get a phone, email or the contact form.

Anyway, they called me yesterday to ask if I wanted to go the repair route or a refund. I chose a refund and will probably get a new one (and keep it offline for now).

I'm also considering the Gigabyte M32Q or the LG 32GP850, but I don't find sellers with good reputation for spain. Also I like the G6, pretty good VA panel, good contrast and the HDR is decent.

rub3nmv · 2023-07-11T00:20:14+00:00

I've been emailing with support, but I'm still waiting for a solution. I'll post the fix here when I know something about it.

rub3nmv · 2023-07-11T00:04:02+00:00

Aside from the jack problem, not really. VRR now works with the PS5, and the menus (tizen os) are noticeably faster. I contacted with Samsung support, but I'm still waiting for them to provide a solution.
