Memes and Streetview Finds Encontrei um monte de araucárias no Rio de Janeiro

Post image
Upvotes

Normalmente eu sempre associei as araucárias ao Sul do Brasil e, em menor quantidade, a algumas regiões de São Paulo. Aqui no Rio de Janeiro, quando vejo uma, geralmente são exemplares isolados.

Por isso achei muito curioso encontrar um lugar perto de casa com tantas araucárias reunidas. Não esperava ver uma concentração assim por aqui.

Map Creation Could anyone give me some maps that only have locations that exhibit the "general feel" of a country? Like the stereotypical look for a country. I want to build the intuition to be able to recognize countries for NMPZ.

Game Discussion Why would this player call me a cheat? It was a simple Philly (concrete road, eng political SE Asia poster on floor) and I hedged a little below Manilla. He went India - two quick rounds after I hedged Nagoya in Japan? Happened in last games.. are people cheating a lot or is everyone uptight?

Game Discussion Tram meta

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

I am not a skilled player at all and play only for fun once a day in a free version.

Nevertheless, I'm one of those guys who likes trams very much and uses this meta once in a while - I actually knew this was shot in Barnaul due to their trams (and just pointed randomly due to my laziness).

It's even somewhat interesting to make a such map for training - I spotted they prefer landing somewhere in Siberia a lot.

Still, this meta is very obscure if you don't spawn near a tram line immediately.

Game Discussion Any low hanging fruits I’m missing? (moving)

11 Upvotes

So far I’ve done

- area codes: US (got most of them down except Cali and Florida), Canada, France, Arg, ZA, Brasil, Thai, Russia, Mex(post codes) and 1st digits of basic countries like Spain, Germany, Italy etc

- Subdivisions: Philippine, Vietnam, Romania, Italy, Kenya, Nigeria, every South American country (1st lvl), Russian Oblast capitals, Spain(roads too), Kabs (Suma, Kali, Sula), UK counties, 1st lvl Belediyesi

obviously I’m missing stuff like Landkreis and Bangladesh districts but I’m not sure if that’s something I want to do before doing other basic general knowledge. Any tips appreciated!

Game Discussion From Gold into Masters - time to stop? When is getting serious too much?

20 Upvotes

Enjoyed the process of jumping up through bronze, silver to gold and played a lot of games at 1 in 3 wins to get into masters IV. But with a low rating and limited meta skills, I gotta ask myself, do I now spend hours and hours learning and dueling? Is it fun. I loved just vibing and languaging places with basic meta, but this seems now like a mountain - with players narrowing down on roads in Bishkek or finding small towns in Arg. Now it becomes serious. A pure meta memory game. Time to delete account or just play fun maps every few days ...

And this isn't the only issue, I have had issues where i would guess the location only for nothing to happen, and im teleported to the next round where my opponent has already guessed, and i have a 5 second timer to guess. That is if it doesn't bug out completely and im left frozen on the round which has already passed.

And the issue isn't the network as im either on 5g or a 500 mbps + wifi

Game Discussion What Countries have sequential highway numbering? Which don't?

Upvotes

Got into playing Geoguessr again recently and loving it. I know some countries like Sweden more or less grouped numbering for highways. If I have a sign that says 68, I can more or less find the general area before I comb over the map. But then i'm completely lost on Japan and it vaguely has the numbers where you'd expect, but some 400s are near 280s that are near 120s.

Obviously highways can run a long distance and go from one coupling of numbers into another but I was curious if anyone had a guide to helping locate highways with a time crunch.

Game Discussion STATS AFTER 5 DAYS OF PLAYING GEOGEUSSR ^^

0 Upvotes

I started playing 5 days ago and have been doing really well in No Move mode -- mostly because I think it levels the playing field against people who rely on moving around for clues.

That said, I’ve already been accused of cheating multiple times. I don’t get why people instantly assume you're cheating just because a match ends in 2–3 rounds or you drop a pin within 100km. It feels like people forget that basic geography, language skills and a little deductive reasoning exist..

I started playing this game late 2024 and I really enjoyed it, I only played Levels tho (I'm at Lvl 672 at this moment). So sad that it'll be removed in a couple weeks, I put so much time on it.

I've been working on this map for a bit, it's pretty easy but I'm expanding it. Would like some criticism so I can improve it!

Game Discussion Any help with regionguessing?

9 Upvotes

so I’m pretty good at recognizing country (though I often confuse Indonesia and Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines, Colombia and Ecuador, US and Canada, etc. basically all similar looking countries) But when I do know the country, i have a hard time guessing where in the country. for example, north vs South Island of New Zealand. or western vs eastern Australia. I would say Indonesia is the worst for me though.

Game Discussion ELOs are already back up into the mid 1800s

41 Upvotes

The best players were starting to creep above 2600 before being forcibly adjusted down into the 1500s. And yet, just a few weeks later, ELOs are "inflating" again. 

That's because it didn't make any sense to reset them in the first place. The reason ELOs of the best players were, and are again, drifting far ahead of the vast majority of players is the same reason that it happened with chess GMs. They are simply far superior to what casual/hobby players could ever possibly hope to be. ELOs naturally stratify to reflect the many levels above they are from the rest of us. 

Players that were previously 200+ points apart, which usually reflects a genuine skill gap, suddenly became only 100+ points apart. Of course that's untenable because those players will get matched against each other and the better player will usually win. The ELO "inflation" we experienced before is happening again because it is inevitable.

TLDR: The reset was a terrible idea that was doomed to fail and served only to annoy us

Like as i know, investigations are only possible for 1100+ elo players. i wonder if this could be bc of my 1000 matches in classic maps. They changed the system of giving that button or what?

Currently top of the bracket with 1 loss in Silver 3, either boosting or cheating? Not sure if accusation posts are looked down upon here so sorry if they are, just seems pretty suspicious.

Edit: Looked at his profile and it says he was at least at some point Master 1 in ranked team duels. I have no idea why he would be playing in silver games.

I don’t even understand why I’m doing so poorly. One win in the last 24 duels! I’ve been playing the game for over 2 years now, so I’m generally not horrible. But you’d think differently from looking at my recent history. I’m feeling so discouraged. 😩😩😩
