while im posting tonight. i think about that ptg doodle thats peppino vs pepperman in presumably a 2d fighter a lot so heres my thoughts on how most of the pt + sugspi cast would play in a traditional fg
i posted this in the sugary spire discord and many ppl didnt know the terms. this is alright! i dont mind. i made a little in-depth explanation of the terms i use and break down a little bit more of what i want for each character. pasted under the cut if you would like to see (watch out! its long)
peppino: zangief- very traditional grappler, peppino actually already takes some poses from him while doing certain grabs in pizza tower +rtemkin- considered to be the "best" (in terms of tier placement) incarnation of potemkin, a guilty gear grappler with a lot of really cool tools that really shine at high execution. "grappler with a shoryu" - a shoryu, or a shoryuken/DP is a reversal with an invincible startup. peppino's uppercat animation resembles a shoryuken, hence he gets one. grapplers dont usually get these for balance reasons
noise: kohaku- meddling trap-placement character in melty blood, big trickster that puts things around that youll run into trying to get to her essentially, though shes got really good offense on her own faust- item toss character thats really good at keeping you at whatever range he wants you at onscreen midrange zoner- wants to keep you away, but not at fullscreen, so he can keep putting you into bullshit
pepperman: "big body but not a grappler" - big bodies usually have more health/defense and "armor" on their moves in exchange for slower movement and better payoff "maybe hes doing some tekken shit" - yeah "definitely has counters" - a counter move is a parry that automatically grants you a counterattack
gustavo and brick: relius- guy with good offense who controls a second body on a separate resource meter to lock down pressure
vigi: keepaway characters traditionally have less health than others to make you REALLY worry about getting caught; the noise prefers midrange but vigi prefers full-range and has efficient tools for arena escape
feppi: "what if rainbow mika was dan hibiki" - ok this one has layers. rainbow mika is a disciple of zangief and thus plays somewhat similarly, with more emphasis on speed and such. dan hibiki is a joke "worse" version of ryu command grab rekkas - rekkas are moves in multiple parts/moves that branch into multiple paths. like A->B->C or A->B-or-C->D. rekkas tend to give characters really cool routing abilities and a more free-flowing playstyle command movement- a move that makes a character perform a special action rather than necessarily an attack, like a teleport or a dodge
pizzahead: i mean hes there(*)
noisette: a "shoto" is a function like ryu or ken, very much the white bread of fighting games but always welcome and usually very fun and expressive to pick up. usually has a projectile and a shoryuken, at least
pizzelle: shoto was explained on the noisette slide 👍 chipp and millia are both characters that focus on incredibly pressure and high combo counts, but have low health and poor defense to balance it out. basically speed demons
pizzano: SUPER ARMOR means you can hit him but it Will Not Stun Him. characters that super armor through shit are usually seen as Scary as Hell but also tend to be slower, big-body damage sponges. i think pizzano can move tho "this mf has divekicks" - this mf has divekicks "what if viewtiful joe was big and scary" - viewtiful joe is generally regarded to be a lower tier character in Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3: one of the smallest and slowest characters, with a lot of quirky bullshit that requires a lot of high execution but also a tv pose spotdodge (spotdodge: stay in place and avoid an attack). making vjoe 1. big 2. move better 3. not die instantly the second he gets touched by a magneto would create a horrifying force
gumbob: honest footsies gumbob he has a raging demon
stinky: usually characters with executional difficulty are higher up on the tierlist of a game (like arakune from blazblue and johnny and i-no from ggxrd), but sometimes this is not true (like angel from kof, who is the hardest character in the game to learn but considered one of the worst despite it all) i think stinky would be somewhere in the middle; a character that gives you arthritis to play and has a lot of expression, but gets shut down easy and can have his setups blow up in his face incredibly easy
if anyone else out there has any thoughts on this matter i would love to hear them. im insane.
(*) i dont actually hate pizzahead or anything i think hes really fun. he just baffles me in the way that hes popular and i think im just tired of seeing the popular depictions of him. godspeed pizzahead lovers do not hurl bricks at my window

E3 may have ended already, but I still have tons of photos to share its memories with! Here’s a recap of what I got to try- 1️⃣ GOOGLE STADIA — #YouTubeGaming had a very trendy gaming lounge set up with DOOM ETERNAL on Stadia! The controller is great, and Doom played smooth as butter... or monster guts... 2️⃣ POKEMON 🗡🛡 — Beautiful game, creative new monsters (maybe a new favorite or two!), but fairly similar to the series you probably know and love. Here’s a great example of, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” 3️⃣ LINK’S AWAKENING — The nostalgia is STRONG with this one! It plays like a heavily-polished remaster, updated in all the right ways. @nintendo set up some stunning miniature models based on parts of the game, which made for some emotionally-charged eye candy! 😍 (Also, shoutout to the Link cosplayer giving me serious side-eye in the last photo! 🤣) 4️⃣ NEW SUPER LUCKY’S TALE — Since the updated Definitive Edition is heading to Switch (and I missed the Not-So-Definitive version), I gave Lucky a quick playthrough. Warning: this game is ADORABLE! 😅 It also had some REALLY solid platforming gameplay, so don’t think it’ll sneak by on charm alone! 5️⃣ MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3 — All my favorite heroes in an underwhelming beat-em-up. 😕 The heroes are diverse and epic, but the demo’s gameplay (mainly beating up waves of thugs over and over) left me looking for more. Marvel fans will love it for the huge roster of classic characters, but personally, I’d stick to battling Pokemon. 😛 Overall, we had an amazing time at #e32019 and couldn’t have managed it without @fullscreen’s help. One thing I’d HOPED to see (but didn’t) was an announcement about #TimeSplitters 4. 😭 What’s a game or series you keep hoping will turn up at next year’s E3? #stadia #linksawakening #randomencounters https://www.instagram.com/irl_encounters/p/BysAsKeJSuy/?igshid=1renbmqixh4b6

Vivo NEX 3 hands-on review
Vivo smartphone has grabbed the majority of the market today. What did we surely need from a smartphone? Seamless access and quality features, that’s it. Vivo is one of the most grooming brands available in the market. It is serving the world with its amazing high-quality services for the past few years. Each and every handset of it is a symbol of uniqueness and advanced technology. VIVO is Surprising the world with its wonderful products. The company is now coming up with a wonderful handset i.e. Vivo NEX 3 hands-on in the market.
Vivo NEX 3 hands-on is really going to grab the market soon as the looks and features both are its charm that is surely shining globally. The huge waterfall display will be surely one of the leading eye-catcher designs for 2019-2020.
The High-end resolution, well designed triple camera system and much more is there as a surprise for you under this flagship. It would really be quite disappointing if we will not talk about its wonderful features like its power and 5G connectivity.
The software is real is a real grind whereas the absence of physical buttons to the side makes the display little bit weird.
Just following in the footsteps of its predecessors, Vivo has launched its third generation and that is a real symbol of beauty and innovation.
Not only we are going to explore here the beautiful full-screen design, but the product is going to have one of the most powerful operating systems in the industry. Extreme curves at almost 90 degrees are really going to steal the limelight here.
Specifications Vivo NEX 3
Body Design: Reinforced front curved glass with beautiful aluminum side frame
Screen: 6.89” E3 Super AMOLED fullscreen
Resolution: 1080*2256 pixels resolution
Camera options: 64MP Primary camera with Samsung GW1 sensor 1/1.7”, Ultra wide-angle: 13MP f/2.2, PDAF, Telephoto: 13MP f/2.5 2x optical zoom and PDAF, 120-degree FoV, PDAF with macro mode from 2.5 cm.
Memory: 12GB RAM with 256GB external storage
Chipset: Snapdragon 855 octa-core processor with Adreno 640 GPU
Operating System: Android 9.0 Pie and FuntouchOS 9.1
Connectivity: Dual SIM
Bluetooth: 5.0
NFC: 5G support
WiFi Connectivity: YES
Battery: 4,500 mAh
Misc: Pressure sensitive side buttons, pop-up selfie camera.
What about the designs?
Vivo NX3 is really a gorgeous handset that will amaze the people with its beautiful designing. The overall looks of this wonderful handset are really quite stunning. Coming up with a wider screen; it really gets hard to operate your handset with single-handedly.
The curved sides offer a refreshing look to the users whereas the 5.5 inches large display offers amazing experience while streaming.
You really don’t need to worry about the protection like Gorilla Glass to save you from accidental touches. As we have told you earlier that the side buttons are being removed from Vivo NEX 3. The handset includes a thin frame with pressure-sensitive sensors and haptic feedback that you can use as a power button and volume keys here.
How is the camera?
If we move around the back panel of Vivo NEX 3, the device is featured with a circular camera module where you can find three different camera sensors easily.
Keeping various demands of the photo lovers in mind, the handset is being installed with three camera sensors where you can enjoy 64MP pixels with the main unit, 13MP with an ultra-wide-angle camera and 13MP with telephoto snapper.
The best thing about this wonderful handset is that its bump is also not so big and awkward. The back glass is straight enough without having any curve over there and hence users can easily enjoy enough of grip.
The pop-up mechanism is quite in trend these days, and when we talk about Vivo NEX 3 it has been significantly upgraded to offer better user experience to the users. Enhancing the selfie experience of the users much more, the handset is being installed with 16MP selfie.
Features
Vivo NEX 3 is expected to coming up with one of the most powerful operating systems. The device is being designed with Snapdragon 855+ chipset. The device is basically coming up in two variants.
Users are free to choice 8GB RAM or 12 GB RAM depending upon their preferences and budget. If required, the memory of this handset can be easily extended up to 256GB overall. Therefore, you can now easily enjoy a seamless and smooth experience while working on the various files.
AnTuTu 8 is the benchmark of quality and high-end features. When we compare Vivo NEX 3, it is surely one of the highest-scoring devices being present in the market. For offering more reliable results to the users, the device is assumed to be coming up with a heavy-duty chamber.
Yet the device is coming up with 5G. The users who are feeling low at the budget at this moment, they can also opt for the non-5G variant. The good thing about choosing this big vapor chamber for 5G is that it will reduce the heat of your smartphone for about 100C. Hence, you can seamlessly access your phone now for hours without getting worried.
The presence of Qualcomm’s X50 5G modem supporting feature and sub-6GHz band support makes this wonderful product one of the most searched out products on the web.
Users are now not going to have any connection issues as the device is featured with six antennas instead of four. You can easily hold your smartphone as you want.
Battery Life
The power consumption is also one of the major reasons. This product is assuming to be covering the market in a shorter time after its release. This 5G solution is not being built into the chipset and hence users can now easily enjoy more power draw.
Users can now easily enjoy movies and TV shows and can listen to their favorite tracks for hours with the help of a 4,500 mAh battery.
Adding more into its features, the device is being equipped with 44W SuperFlash Charge technology. The super flash technology can reduce charging time.

Samsung Galaxy S10+ review: the best big phone in 2019 so far
As Samsung’s heaviest hitter in the Canadian market in 2019, the Galaxy S10+ sees tremendous improvements in display quality, camera, and software. A new stunning Dynamic OLED display aces colors and brightness, setting a new bar for smartphone displays. Performance is driven by the blazing Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset and up to 12GB of RAM, which translates to exceptional multitasking and gaming experiences. While camera quality is fantastic during the day, they falls short when things get dim. The biggest challenge, however, is pricing; even an entry model Galaxy S10+ costs CAD$1,419.99 – an ambitious pursuit for shallow wallets. Pros:
Eye-watering display
New ultra-wide angle camera
Fantastic battery life
Premium ceramic option
Punchhole camera>notch
Wireless charging and reverse charging
Improved software
Neat AI modes
Bixby button can now be remapped
Expandable storage
Still has the headphone jack
Cons:
Very expensive
Slow and inconsistent fingerprint sensor
Cluncky. Hard to take pictures with one hand
Ceramic option is distinctly heavier
Still carries some bloatware
Faster charger would be awesome
Bixby gets stumped by simple commands

Design
The S10 series are encased in Gorilla Glass 6, Corning’s best glass yet. An unfortunate side effect is that the ultra-smooth surface and behemoth size makes it hard to grip without a case.
New year, new camera. The Galaxy S10 now has a 16MP ultra-wide angle camera in addition to the 12MP standard and 12MP telephoto cameras.
Ceramic color options are now available for those who prefer a less glossy finish. Our review unit is clad in Ceramic White, which is both less glossy and will more competently hide fingerprints. While many would undoubtedly appreciate the elegance in its simplicity, I personally feel like it’s a bit bland.
Whereas most phone manufacturers swiftly embraced the notch, Samsung vehemently defended the top bezel on their flagship devices. With the Galaxy S10+, it jumped from using a top bezel to a tiny pinhole front camera. Despite the mixed opinions on its design, there’s no doubt that it’s far less intrusive than notches.
The Galaxy S10+ has two front cameras: a 10MP dual-pixel image sensor and an 8MP depth sensor. Dual pixel just means that the phase detection autofocus (PDAF) sensing points have been integrated into the sensor.
A gentle curve extends from the edge of the display inwards, making swiping from the edge that much smoother. Colors distort slightly when pushed against the edge, but I didn’t find it glaring. An aluminum band encircles the device, occasionally interrupted by the antenna bands.
The volume rocker and the Bixby button are found on the phone’s right edge.
  The Galaxy S10+ creates stereo sound by combining the bottom mono speaker with the earpiece. Audio quality is great, and volume is easily loud enough for a small room.
Our good friend, headphone jack, is still here! Hurray!
The SIM tray accepts a nano SIM card and a microSD card, supplying the already copious internal storage with ample room to grow.
I’ve never been bothered by a phone’s weight until I held the ceramic Galaxy S10+. At 198g, the Galaxy S10+ feels like an anchor in my pocket even without a case.
Display
One of the biggest improvements to the Galaxy S10 phones is its new Dynamic AMOLED display. The Galaxy S10+, the biggest of the bunch, carries one that’s 6.4” with a 3,040 x 1,440p resolution.
Samsung’s new Dynamic AMOLED display is set to be Samsung’s best display technology to date. It not only covers 100 per cent of the DCI-P3 color space popular in films, but also boasts an impressive 1,200 nit peak brightness. On the Galaxy S10, Display Mate measured its fullscreen brightness to be 804 nits, which is a 17 per cent increase over the Galaxy S9+. It compensates for the increased power draw of the brighter display by using a more power efficient OLED material.
Despite boasting 100 per cent color gamut coverage, Samsung claims that it manages to reduce harmful blue light by 42 per cent. But wait. How can it retain the same color accuracy while removing colors? In a statement to CNET, Samsung says that previous displays actually supported color spectrums beyond DCI-P3, and that it simply dialed back on the blue light output to more closely fit the DCI-P3 guidelines.
In addition, it’s the first smartphone display to ever to support HDR10+, an HDR format endorsed by major streaming services like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. Even more impressive, Dynamic AMOLED features sub-pixel rendering and dynamic tone mapping.
Subpixel design hasn’t changed, however; Dynamic AMOLED still uses an RGGB pentile subpixel layout. A traditional white pixel contains a red, green, and blue subpixel. In a pentile display, there are two green subpixels for every one white pixel.
The color difference is immediately apparent upon turning on the screen. In a side-by-side comparison against the Google Pixel 3 XL with Adaptive colors enabled, which is also renowned for its excellent display, the Galaxy S10+ is noticeably warmer at its “Normal” setting, but not overly so, like the iPhone X. It strikes the perfect middle ground between vibrancy and eyestrain. Their colors are simliar, however, even when displaying HDR content on YouTube.
Something most would consider baffling, the Galaxy S10+ omits the pre-installed screen protector found on the smaller Galaxy S10. Thinking a little deeper produces several possible explanations. Corning’s Gorilla Glass 6 is literally on the entire phone and is a major part of the experience you’ve paid for. Therefore, it simply doesn’t make sense to cover up the front, especially considering most users will buy a case to cover the back. And let’s face it: no aftermarket screen protector can match the quality of Gorilla Glass 6.
Camera
With form factor and design becoming relatively stagnant over the past few years, smartphone cameras are now the main differentiating factor that affects buying decision. Manufacturers are placing paramount focus on developing innovative ways to make their cameras stand out.
This year’s Galaxy carries a new 16MP ultra-wide angle lens alongside the 12MP standard wide-angle lens and 12MP telephoto lens. The ultra-wide lens encompasses 123-degree vision and an f/ 2.2 aperture. The other two sensors don’t seem to have changed all that much; resolution, aperture, and pixel pitch all remain identical to the Galaxy S9’s.
Thought it recycles a few old – albeit still excellent – sensors, Samsung says it has made strides in AI post-processing features that take full advantage of the chipset’s NPU. One prime example is scene optimizer where the camera detects the scene and suggests an optimal angle for the shot. When it doesn’t recognize the scene, it can at least try to level the phone.
On the flip side, the selfie cam now uses a new 10MP sensor, as well as an 8MP RGB depth sensor for better bokeh effects.
Rear Camera
Standard wide-angle
Maybe Samsung is confident in the phone’s AI capabilities, but the camera seems to favor a fast shutter speed and then performs touch-up in post. Just as with the Galaxy S9 series, the main sensor boasts impressive sharpness and excellent colors in good lighting. Unfortunately, the camera has trouble capturing fine detail in darker scenes and has a haziness that generally comes with aggressive denoising.
Click on image for more full resolution samples
Telephoto
The telephoto lens features a 2x optical zoom and can extend all the way up to 5x digital zoom. Like the main sensor, it does a great job under good lighting. OIS keeps the phone rock steady during shooting.
Click on image for more full resolution samples
Ultra-wide
Be careful with the new ultra-wide angle lens. Because of its super wide field of view, it can sometimes capture your fingertips without you realizing. While there’s barrel distortion, it can be corrected via the distortion correction in the camera app once enabled.
Click on image for more full resolution samples
What can’t be corrected is the weird color “silhouettes” in certain scenes. In the darker images below, there’s a clear difference between the sky’s color in the background versus between the gaps of the tree branches. I suppose this is due to the AI unable to apply color corrections to finer areas.
RAW vs JPEG
Photographers tend to shoot in uncompressed RAW image format to provide higher flexibility in post-processing software like Adobe Lightroom. While the Galaxy S10+ supports RAW shooting, it can only be toggled in Pro mode. When enabled, the phone does not apply any inherent post-processing and only saves the image data as they were shot. It captures a ton more detail than normal JPEG at the expense of larger file size and needing manual post processing.
Front Camera
The new dual-sensor front camera does an excellent job at applying depth of field effects around strands of my hair and didn’t blur out my clothes and kept my face in focus.
Performance
All Galaxy S10 series phones are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 SoC. It’s the first Qualcomm consumer chipset built on the 7nm transistor node and is designed to compete against Huawei’s Kirin 980 and Apple’s A12. Our review unit has 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage – enviable even by laptop standards – and can even be upgraded to 12GB and 1TB respectively.
Geekbench
In Geekbench, the Galaxy S10+ scored 3,474 in the single-core test and 10,890 in the multi-core test. While single-score sees only a marginal improvement over the Galaxy S9+, multi-core score is around 2,000 points higher. It also beats the Huawei Mate 20 Pro by 196 (5.9%) in single-core and 1,141 (11.7%) in multi-core.
PCMark Work 2.0
PCMark for Android is as real-world as synthetic benchmarks get. It runs the phone through a list of everyday business tasks includes writing, web browsing, video editing, and photo editing.
The Galaxy S10+ crushed it in PCMark Work benchmark, scoring an impressive 9,746 average. Compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 in the Google Pixel 3 XL, the biggest improvements were in the writing and web browsing categories, which saw a 1,482 (18%) and 1,655 (17%) jump respectively. The Galaxy S10+ also handily defeated the Huawei Mate 20 Pro’s Kirin 980, which scored a 7,709 average.
3DMark Slingshot Extreme
3DMark gauges the phone’s graphics processing ability and attempts to estimate how well it can handle 3D intensive workloads.
PCMark storage test
We’ve added a new benchmark to test for storage performance. It speaks to the phone’s ability to quickly restart, load apps, and retrieve files.
Software and Features
Whereas its hardware is excellent, Samsung’s software hasn’t been favored in the Android community. Many consider it to be way too bloated, and the plethora of default Samsung apps irks Android purists as well. In addition, Samsung phones are always the latecomers in receiving Android feature and security updates.
Since then, Samsung has been committed to solving its software’s reputation by launching its One UI initiative. One UI aims to improve UI flow, unifying app and icon aesthetics, and presenting the most important information first.
And the efforts have definitely paid off. App icons look more unified, and despite being inundated with features, the most important ones are clearly labeled and intuitive to find. Some advanced features like Secure Folder and Dual Apps are now more easily accessible and configurable.
Several other features are also refreshing and helpful. Download Booster, for example, couples Wi-Fi and mobile data together for faster download speeds in Google Play Store. MIrrorLink can mirror the phone’s screen onto your car’s display via a USB cable. Video Enhancer automatically increases color and brightness when watching videos.
Regrettably, One UI didn’t lose much bloat; it still comes bundled with a bunch of things many users won’t ever touch beyond the initial setup. The Galaxy Store, Theme Store, and Game Launcher are just a few of the unneeded extras. It even has McAfee antivirus built-in, which is (thankfully) disabled by default. With that said, Samsung Pay is the lone exception, as it’s incredibly handy if you have a compatible card like the Tangerine Cash Back rewards card.
One UI also incessantly tries to shove other Samsung services down your throat, and heavily insists that you sign up for a Samsung Account, which enables features like Samsung Cloud and Samsung pass, none of which are needed by most users. I was peppered with its notifications daily, forcing me to mute it manually.
Bixby, Samsung’s beloved voice assistant, is back, and it’s still mapped to a physical button. This time around, however, it lets users remap the button to perform other more useful tasks like launching the calculator or the camera app. You’ll need to keep Bixby enabled as a prerequisite to remapping, though.
Our third run-in with Bixby still leaves much to be desired. It couldn’t understand what I was trying to say when I asked it to show me restaurants in my area. Ask it to play music Spotify, and it will try its best to convince you that Samsung Music is what you need. Hilarious.
What happens when you ask Bixby to play music on Spotify.
Samsung is finally ending awkwardly placed fingerprint sensors by embedding it in the display. Samsung claims that instead of capturing a 2D image of your fingerprint, its ultrasonic fingerprint sensor builds a 3D map that accounts for your fingerprint’s valleys and peaks, and should therefore be nearly impossible to fake.
In my experience, the in-display fingerprint sensor is very inconsistent, often having trouble recognizing my thumb at an off-angle and requiring multiple attempts to register.
Battery Life
With a giant 4,100mAh battery, it’s unsurprising that the Galaxy S10+ produced 7 hours of screen-on time across nearly two days. My daily workload involves composing emails, editing Google Doc files, web browsing, managing social media, and streaming videos. Most apps I use are in dark mode, which helps save battery in OLED devices. Location services are enabled while NFC and Bluetooth are turned-on sporadically.
One thing that could improve the experience is a faster charger. Samsung’s adaptive charger can deliver up to 15W of power, 3W shy of Qualcomm’s QuickCharge 4.0. At this pace, it takes almost two hours to charge the phone from zero to 100 per cent. The silver lining is that thanks to its tremendous battery, you won’t have to plug it into the wall as frequently.
In addition to capping the processor clock speed in power saving mode, it also lowers the display’s resolution. Because One UI is based on Android 9, it also takes advantage of Google’s Adaptive Battery power saving feature.
Pricing and competition
All aspects of the Galaxy S10+ screams premium – including its price. For Canadian customers, an unlocked device runs for CAD$1,419.99 and comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Samsung charges CAD$1,749.99 for 512GB storage, and a whopping CAD$2,209.99 for 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
The Galaxy S10 series is one of the first phones to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC. As such, competition in the performance front is relatively thin, and most phones are either from China – which are hard to get or haven’t been released yet.
But competition is looming on the horizon. 2019 will see an impressive roster of big flagship phones like the LG V40, Huawei P30 Pro, Sony Xperia 1, and the OnePlus 7. A few Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi have already released its version of Snapdragon 855 equipped devices, they’re just harder to get in North America.
Apple’s current flagship can also put up some fight against the Galaxy S10+. Despite its improved performance, the Galaxy S10+ still trails the iPhone XS Max’s A12 Bionic chipset. Familiarity wit the operating system makes a difference, too; some users rely on iOS apps to get through their workday. The Galaxy S10+ has a distinct edge in camera quality, AI capability, and a superior display.
The newly released Huawei P30 Pro is currently the closest matchup against the Galaxy S10+. While I’m not expecting its HiSilicon Kirin 980 processor to crush any benchmarks, its camera system is extremely impressive. The starting configuration comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB for $220 less. One area it does seem to underperform in is the display. I’m still going through the motions on evaluating the P30 Pro, but at the moment, it seems like an extremely strong contender to the Galaxy S10+.
Conclusion
Driven by a new gorgeous display, a new camera system, and Qualcomm’s new chip, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ is the best performing phone released in 2019 so far. It also creatively eliminates the top bezel by using an unobtrusive punch hole front cam. Internal software and AI improvements refine the overall usability, and new ceramic material and color options are welcoming, too, albeit at the cost of added weight.
A new ultra-wide camera finally lets users effortlessly capture stunning landscape photos. Although all three lenses produce fantastic images when lighting is good, they still trail behind the Pixel 3 XL in bad lighting conditions.
Starting at CAD$1,419, pricing is the biggest deterrent for the Galaxy S10+. It’s not short of new features, but I say hold off on upgrading if you got the previous year’s Galaxy S9+ lest you desperately need the beautiful display and the extra camera for some reason. With that said, for the first-time buyer who needs the phone that does it all and has the cash to burn, then the Galaxy S10+ is a no-brainer.

Machinima shuts down for good, axing 81 jobs
February 3, 2019 Machinima's parent company announced that the former multi-channel network has closed, eliminating 81 remaining jobs.
Machinima took down more than a decade’s worth of video content from its YouTube channel in the wake of its sale to Fullscreen Media in January, stunning current and former content creators alike. Now the writing on the wall has been made official: Machinima has been closed by parent Otter Media, an AT&T-owned company. “Wow… they finally went ahead and deleted everything we’d ever done,” tweeted RickyFTW, who co-hosts the YouTube series Internet Today. Actress and writer Felicia Day said the Dragon Age: Redemption series she’d written, produced, and performed in are among those lost in the mass deletion. “I guess my Dragon Age web series is now gone with the Machinima video purge,” she tweeted. “Grab the DVDs while you can, not sure it will ever be online again. RIP” A Machinima representative confirmed to Polygon that the closure had involved layoffs, and that Machinima "has ceased its remaining operations." As an MCN, Machinima hosted content by popular YouTube creators like Gamerpoop and Super Best Friends Play, growing to more than 12 million subscribers since its launch on YouTube back in 2006. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/machinima-shut-down

Samsung Galaxy S10+ review: the best big phone in 2019 so far
As Samsung’s heaviest hitter in the Canadian market in 2019, the Galaxy S10+ sees tremendous improvements in display quality, camera, and software. A new stunning Dynamic OLED display aces colors and brightness, setting a new bar for smartphone displays. Performance is driven by the blazing Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset and up to 12GB of RAM, which translates to exceptional multitasking and gaming experiences. While camera quality is fantastic during the day, they falls short when things get dim. The biggest challenge, however, is pricing; even an entry model Galaxy S10+ costs CAD$1,419.99 – an ambitious pursuit for shallow wallets. Pros:
Eye-watering display
New ultra-wide angle camera
Fantastic battery life
Premium ceramic option
Punchhole camera>notch
Wireless charging and reverse charging
Improved software
Neat AI modes
Bixby button can now be remapped
Expandable storage
Still has the headphone jack
Cons:
Very expensive
Slow and inconsistent fingerprint sensor
Cluncky. Hard to take pictures with one hand
Ceramic option is distinctly heavier
Still carries some bloatware
Faster charger would be awesome
Bixby gets stumped by simple commands

Design
The S10 series are encased in Gorilla Glass 6, Corning’s best glass yet. An unfortunate side effect is that the ultra-smooth surface and behemoth size makes it hard to grip without a case.
New year, new camera. The Galaxy S10 now has a 16MP ultra-wide angle camera in addition to the 12MP standard and 12MP telephoto cameras.
Ceramic color options are now available for those who prefer a less glossy finish. Our review unit is clad in Ceramic White, which is both less glossy and will more competently hide fingerprints. While many would undoubtedly appreciate the elegance in its simplicity, I personally feel like it’s a bit bland.
Whereas most phone manufacturers swiftly embraced the notch, Samsung vehemently defended the top bezel on their flagship devices. With the Galaxy S10+, it jumped from using a top bezel to a tiny pinhole front camera. Despite the mixed opinions on its design, there’s no doubt that it’s far less intrusive than notches.
The Galaxy S10+ has two front cameras: a 10MP dual-pixel image sensor and an 8MP depth sensor. Dual pixel just means that the phase detection autofocus (PDAF) sensing points have been integrated into the sensor.
A gentle curve extends from the edge of the display inwards, making swiping from the edge that much smoother. Colors distort slightly when pushed against the edge, but I didn’t find it glaring. An aluminum band encircles the device, occasionally interrupted by the antenna bands.
The volume rocker and the Bixby button are found on the phone’s right edge.
  The Galaxy S10+ creates stereo sound by combining the bottom mono speaker with the earpiece. Audio quality is great, and volume is easily loud enough for a small room.
Our good friend, headphone jack, is still here! Hurray!
The SIM tray accepts a nano SIM card and a microSD card, supplying the already copious internal storage with ample room to grow.
I’ve never been bothered by a phone’s weight until I held the ceramic Galaxy S10+. At 198g, the Galaxy S10+ feels like an anchor in my pocket even without a case.
Display
One of the biggest improvements to the Galaxy S10 phones is its new Dynamic AMOLED display. The Galaxy S10+, the biggest of the bunch, carries one that’s 6.4” with a 3,040 x 1,440p resolution.
Samsung’s new Dynamic AMOLED display is set to be Samsung’s best display technology to date. It not only covers 100 per cent of the DCI-P3 color space popular in films, but also boasts an impressive 1,200 nit peak brightness. On the Galaxy S10, Display Mate measured its fullscreen brightness to be 804 nits, which is a 17 per cent increase over the Galaxy S9+. It compensates for the increased power draw of the brighter display by using a more power efficient OLED material.
Despite boasting 100 per cent color gamut coverage, Samsung claims that it manages to reduce harmful blue light by 42 per cent. But wait. How can it retain the same color accuracy while removing colors? In a statement to CNET, Samsung says that previous displays actually supported color spectrums beyond DCI-P3, and that it simply dialed back on the blue light output to more closely fit the DCI-P3 guidelines.
In addition, it’s the first smartphone display to ever to support HDR10+, an HDR format endorsed by major streaming services like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. Even more impressive, Dynamic AMOLED features sub-pixel rendering and dynamic tone mapping.
Subpixel design hasn’t changed, however; Dynamic AMOLED still uses an RGGB pentile subpixel layout. A traditional white pixel contains a red, green, and blue subpixel. In a pentile display, there are two green subpixels for every one white pixel.
The color difference is immediately apparent upon turning on the screen. In a side-by-side comparison against the Google Pixel 3 XL with Adaptive colors enabled, which is also renowned for its excellent display, the Galaxy S10+ is noticeably warmer at its “Normal” setting, but not overly so, like the iPhone X. It strikes the perfect middle ground between vibrancy and eyestrain. Their colors are simliar, however, even when displaying HDR content on YouTube.
Something most would consider baffling, the Galaxy S10+ omits the pre-installed screen protector found on the smaller Galaxy S10. Thinking a little deeper produces several possible explanations. Corning’s Gorilla Glass 6 is literally on the entire phone and is a major part of the experience you’ve paid for. Therefore, it simply doesn’t make sense to cover up the front, especially considering most users will buy a case to cover the back. And let’s face it: no aftermarket screen protector can match the quality of Gorilla Glass 6.
Camera
With form factor and design becoming relatively stagnant over the past few years, smartphone cameras are now the main differentiating factor that affects buying decision. Manufacturers are placing paramount focus on developing innovative ways to make their cameras stand out.
This year’s Galaxy carries a new 16MP ultra-wide angle lens alongside the 12MP standard wide-angle lens and 12MP telephoto lens. The ultra-wide lens encompasses 123-degree vision and an f/ 2.2 aperture. The other two sensors don’t seem to have changed all that much; resolution, aperture, and pixel pitch all remain identical to the Galaxy S9’s.
Thought it recycles a few old – albeit still excellent – sensors, Samsung says it has made strides in AI post-processing features that take full advantage of the chipset’s NPU. One prime example is scene optimizer where the camera detects the scene and suggests an optimal angle for the shot. When it doesn’t recognize the scene, it can at least try to level the phone.
On the flip side, the selfie cam now uses a new 10MP sensor, as well as an 8MP RGB depth sensor for better bokeh effects.
Rear Camera
Standard wide-angle
Maybe Samsung is confident in the phone’s AI capabilities, but the camera seems to favor a fast shutter speed and then performs touch-up in post. Just as with the Galaxy S9 series, the main sensor boasts impressive sharpness and excellent colors in good lighting. Unfortunately, the camera has trouble capturing fine detail in darker scenes and has a haziness that generally comes with aggressive denoising.

Telephoto
The telephoto lens features a 2x optical zoom and can extend all the way up to 5x digital zoom. Like the main sensor, it does a great job under good lighting. OIS keeps the phone rock steady during shooting.
Click on image for more full resolution samples
Ultra-wide
Be careful with the new ultra-wide angle lens. Because of its super wide field of view, it can sometimes capture your fingertips without you realizing. While there’s barrel distortion, it can be corrected via the distortion correction in the camera app once enabled.
Click on image for more full resolution samples
What can’t be corrected is the weird color “silhouettes” in certain scenes. In the darker images below, there’s a clear difference between the sky’s color in the background versus between the gaps of the tree branches. I suppose this is due to the AI unable to apply color corrections to finer areas.
RAW vs JPEG
Photographers tend to shoot in uncompressed RAW image format to provide higher flexibility in post-processing software like Adobe Lightroom. While the Galaxy S10+ supports RAW shooting, it can only be toggled in Pro mode. When enabled, the phone does not apply any inherent post-processing and only saves the image data as they were shot. It captures a ton more detail than normal JPEG at the expense of larger file size and needing manual post processing.
Front Camera
The new dual-sensor front camera does an excellent job at applying depth of field effects around strands of my hair and didn’t blur out my clothes and kept my face in focus.
Performance
All Galaxy S10 series phones are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 SoC. It’s the first Qualcomm consumer chipset built on the 7nm transistor node and is designed to compete against Huawei’s Kirin 980 and Apple’s A12. Our review unit has 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage – enviable even by laptop standards – and can even be upgraded to 12GB and 1TB respectively.
Geekbench
In Geekbench, the Galaxy S10+ scored 3,474 in the single-core test and 10,890 in the multi-core test. While single-score sees only a marginal improvement over the Galaxy S9+, multi-core score is around 2,000 points higher. It also beats the Huawei Mate 20 Pro by 196 (5.9%) in single-core and 1,141 (11.7%) in multi-core.
PCMark Work 2.0
PCMark for Android is as real-world as synthetic benchmarks get. It runs the phone through a list of everyday business tasks includes writing, web browsing, video editing, and photo editing.
The Galaxy S10+ crushed it in PCMark Work benchmark, scoring an impressive 9,746 average. Compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 in the Google Pixel 3 XL, the biggest improvements were in the writing and web browsing categories, which saw a 1,482 (18%) and 1,655 (17%) jump respectively. The Galaxy S10+ also handily defeated the Huawei Mate 20 Pro’s Kirin 980, which scored a 7,709 average.
3DMark Slingshot Extreme
3DMark gauges the phone’s graphics processing ability and attempts to estimate how well it can handle 3D intensive workloads.
PCMark storage test
We’ve added a new benchmark to test for storage performance. It speaks to the phone’s ability to quickly restart, load apps, and retrieve files.
Software and Features
Whereas its hardware is excellent, Samsung’s software hasn’t been favored in the Android community. Many consider it to be way too bloated, and the plethora of default Samsung apps irks Android purists as well. In addition, Samsung phones are always the latecomers in receiving Android feature and security updates.
Since then, Samsung has been committed to solving its software’s reputation by launching its One UI initiative. One UI aims to improve UI flow, unifying app and icon aesthetics, and presenting the most important information first.
And the efforts have definitely paid off. App icons look more unified, and despite being inundated with features, the most important ones are clearly labeled and intuitive to find. Some advanced features like Secure Folder and Dual Apps are now more easily accessible and configurable.
Several other features are also refreshing and helpful. Download Booster, for example, couples Wi-Fi and mobile data together for faster download speeds in Google Play Store. MIrrorLink can mirror the phone’s screen onto your car’s display via a USB cable. Video Enhancer automatically increases color and brightness when watching videos.
Regrettably, One UI didn’t lose much bloat; it still comes bundled with a bunch of things many users won’t ever touch beyond the initial setup. The Galaxy Store, Theme Store, and Game Launcher are just a few of the unneeded extras. It even has McAfee antivirus built-in, which is (thankfully) disabled by default. With that said, Samsung Pay is the lone exception, as it’s incredibly handy if you have a compatible card like the Tangerine Cash Back rewards card.
One UI also incessantly tries to shove other Samsung services down your throat, and heavily insists that you sign up for a Samsung Account, which enables features like Samsung Cloud and Samsung pass, none of which are needed by most users. I was peppered with its notifications daily, forcing me to mute it manually.
Bixby, Samsung’s beloved voice assistant, is back, and it’s still mapped to a physical button. This time around, however, it lets users remap the button to perform other more useful tasks like launching the calculator or the camera app. You’ll need to keep Bixby enabled as a prerequisite to remapping, though.
Our third run-in with Bixby still leaves much to be desired. It couldn’t understand what I was trying to say when I asked it to show me restaurants in my area. Ask it to play music Spotify, and it will try its best to convince you that Samsung Music is what you need. Hilarious.
What happens when you ask Bixby to play music on Spotify.
Samsung is finally ending awkwardly placed fingerprint sensors by embedding it in the display. Samsung claims that instead of capturing a 2D image of your fingerprint, its ultrasonic fingerprint sensor builds a 3D map that accounts for your fingerprint’s valleys and peaks, and should therefore be nearly impossible to fake.
In my experience, the in-display fingerprint sensor is very inconsistent, often having trouble recognizing my thumb at an off-angle and requiring multiple attempts to register.
Battery Life
With a giant 4,100mAh battery, it’s unsurprising that the Galaxy S10+ produced 7 hours of screen-on time across nearly two days. My daily workload involves composing emails, editing Google Doc files, web browsing, managing social media, and streaming videos. Most apps I use are in dark mode, which helps save battery in OLED devices. Location services are enabled while NFC and Bluetooth are turned-on sporadically.
One thing that could improve the experience is a faster charger. Samsung’s adaptive charger can deliver up to 15W of power, 3W shy of Qualcomm’s QuickCharge 4.0. At this pace, it takes almost two hours to charge the phone from zero to 100 per cent. The silver lining is that thanks to its tremendous battery, you won’t have to plug it into the wall as frequently.
In addition to capping the processor clock speed in power saving mode, it also lowers the display’s resolution. Because One UI is based on Android 9, it also takes advantage of Google’s Adaptive Battery power saving feature.
Pricing and competition
All aspects of the Galaxy S10+ screams premium – including its price. For Canadian customers, an unlocked device runs for CAD$1,419.99 and comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Samsung charges CAD$1,749.99 for 512GB storage, and a whopping CAD$2,209.99 for 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
The Galaxy S10 series is one of the first phones to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC. As such, competition in the performance front is relatively thin, and most phones are either from China – which are hard to get or haven’t been released yet.
But competition is looming on the horizon. 2019 will see an impressive roster of big flagship phones like the LG V40, Huawei P30 Pro, Sony Xperia 1, and the OnePlus 7. A few Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi have already released its version of Snapdragon 855 equipped devices, they’re just harder to get in North America.
Apple’s current flagship can also put up some fight against the Galaxy S10+. Despite its improved performance, the Galaxy S10+ still trails the iPhone XS Max’s A12 Bionic chipset. Familiarity wit the operating system makes a difference, too; some users rely on iOS apps to get through their workday. The Galaxy S10+ has a distinct edge in camera quality, AI capability, and a superior display.
The newly released Huawei P30 Pro is currently the closest matchup against the Galaxy S10+. While I’m not expecting its HiSilicon Kirin 980 processor to crush any benchmarks, its camera system is extremely impressive. The starting configuration comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB for $220 less. One area it does seem to underperform in is the display. I’m still going through the motions on evaluating the P30 Pro, but at the moment, it seems like an extremely strong contender to the Galaxy S10+.
Conclusion
Driven by a new gorgeous display, a new camera system, and Qualcomm’s new chip, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ is the best performing phone released in 2019 so far. It also creatively eliminates the top bezel by using an unobtrusive punch hole front cam. Internal software and AI improvements refine the overall usability, and new ceramic material and color options are welcoming, too, albeit at the cost of added weight.
A new ultra-wide camera finally lets users effortlessly capture stunning landscape photos. Although all three lenses produce fantastic images when lighting is good, they still trail behind the Pixel 3 XL in bad lighting conditions.
Starting at CAD$1,419, pricing is the biggest deterrent for the Galaxy S10+. It’s not short of new features, but I say hold off on upgrading if you got the previous year’s Galaxy S9+ lest you desperately need the beautiful display and the extra camera for some reason. With that said, for the first-time buyer who needs the phone that does it all and has the cash to burn, then the Galaxy S10+ is a no-brainer.

All aspects of the Galaxy S10+ screams premium – including its price. For Canadian customers, an unlocked device runs for CAD$1,419.99 and comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Samsung charges CAD$1,749.99 for 512GB storage, and a whopping CAD$2,209.99 for 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
The Galaxy S10 series is one of the first phones to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC. As such, competition in the performance front is relatively thin, and most phones are either from China – which are hard to get or haven’t been released yet.
But competition is looming on the horizon. 2019 will see an impressive roster of big flagship phones like the LG V40, Huawei P30 Pro, Sony Xperia 1, and the OnePlus 7. A few Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi have already released its version of Snapdragon 855 equipped devices, they’re just harder to get in North America.
Apple’s current flagship can also put up some fight against the Galaxy S10+. Despite its improved performance, the Galaxy S10+ still trails the iPhone XS Max’s A12 Bionic chipset. Familiarity wit the operating system makes a difference, too; some users rely on iOS apps to get through their workday. The Galaxy S10+ has a distinct edge in camera quality, AI capability, and a superior display.
The newly released Huawei P30 Pro is currently the closest matchup against the Galaxy S10+. While I’m not expecting its HiSilicon Kirin 980 processor to crush any benchmarks, its camera system is extremely impressive. The starting configuration comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB for $220 less. One area it does seem to underperform in is the display. I’m still going through the motions on evaluating the P30 Pro, but at the moment, it seems like an extremely strong contender to the Galaxy S10+.
Conclusion
Driven by a new gorgeous display, a new camera system, and Qualcomm’s new chip, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ is the best performing phone released in 2019 so far. It also creatively eliminates the top bezel by using an unobtrusive punch hole front cam. Internal software and AI improvements refine the overall usability, and new ceramic material and color options are welcoming, too, albeit at the cost of added weight.
A new ultra-wide camera finally lets users effortlessly capture stunning landscape photos. Although all three lenses produce fantastic images when lighting is good, they still trail behind the Pixel 3 XL in bad lighting conditions.
Starting at CAD$1,419, pricing is the biggest deterrent for the Galaxy S10+. It’s not short of new features, but I say hold off on upgrading if you got the previous year’s Galaxy S9+ lest you desperately need the beautiful display and the extra camera for some reason. With that said, for the first-time buyer who needs the phone that does it all and has the cash to burn, then the Galaxy S10+ is a no-brainer.
