@@FantasmaNaranja That's just one of the classic methods used by 4chan to dox people from images.

Its free just see everyone got it. Long yellow grass, white car, gen 3 cam and all around eswatini landscape with reddish soil and mountains very free if you play the game even a bit
Dear geoguessr, Mr. Trevor Rainbolt has done so much good for your game, he is deserving of something in return. It is time to reduce the length of rounds to 3 locations.
The government in mexico is pretty ineficient, specially in ruaral areas, where nearly all tax money lines the pockets of politicians, leading to people paving the roads themselves without government oversight, leading to huge inconsistencies.
9:07 such an underrated moment lmfaooo I simply CANNOT believe Donsus went all the way in TX on that loc, what was that silly bot thinking? TX is SOOO far away from MEX, like...who would ever guess that far away? (cope)
I think this is possible because sunlight looks subtly different everywhere. You describe rational/logical cues but I think your intuition for where on the globe it is comes primarily from the look of the sunlight. You could test this by using photoshop to digitally alter the lighting and see how much more difficult it gets.
He did a blindfolded guessing game with someone else describing the place for him. He did ask about direction of the sun, but that’s only hemispheric distinction. He probs doesn’t use the sky as much..?
@@greysongan3410 Not just the sky, but the way the light illuminates things on the ground. It doesn't just indicate hemisphere, but latitude as well (look at the mistakes, like choosing thailand but it was mexico, and other ones that are close he picks the right lattitude). It's just one idea, I've traveled a lot and already had this idea about noticing light looking subtly different everywhere. But clearly he trains these skills and combines a lot of different features, I'm not saying that it's just the light, but that it helps.
I remember in high school Art History, learning about how 1800s European painters coming to New Zealand found the difference in the light from the UK a big deal
Ok- I have ZERO experience in geoguesser, no vague idea of where any of these were, but w the Mexico one, to be fair w u, I immediately thought "Indonesia" bc I'm indonesian and I swear I've seen similar landscapes 💀
I thought we were going to see Paraguay spill coverage pop up based on the title. That's my only point of reference for "rare geoguessr thing" from when zi8gzag's country streak got ended by a Paraguay round.
Wow people think alike 😅 I actually had 3 thoughts. 1st is that there is a repeat in the same round, 2nd is that first and second place have the same amount of points, and 3rd Donsus 1. Place So kinda/almost correct on 2 hahaahah
As a mexican I can attest that there are a few municipalities which go apeshit with how they make roads, and completely forget to maintin them thereafter.
so what % of guessing has to do with the actual landscape, cuz it seems like a very small %....seems like the steps to guessing are something like: 1:where is coverage, 2: What color is the car 3:which part of the car can i see 4. What game mode are we playing 5. what year is the coverage from 6. look for rifts 7. look how blurry the photo is (im pretty sure i missed some but this is where you would then turn to the actual landscape) 8. look for liscense plates 9. look for signs 10. look for telephone poles 11. check the sun location 12. Check road features 13. dirt color 14. achitecture 15. vegetation.... this more or less seems like the process, but ive never played this game before
You also have to factor in the fact that street view isn't everywhere. You can actually scratch out large swaths of the world by the fact that they haven't been mapped. Go to Google maps, zoom out and drag the street view.
16. check phase of the moon 17. view vegetation to determine prevailing wind direction 18. extrapolate location of nearby bodies of water using diffuse reflections on the ground 19. discern constellations in daytime sky to triangulate position
Looks like a guava orchard at 3:00, so very likely Mexico. Wikipedia uses misleading data to state that other countries produce more Guava than Mexico--the stats they cite bundle Mangos and Guava in the same group. They are not even in the same clade. India/Indonesia/Thailand grow a lot of Mango (มะม่วง!), not Guava! Also importantly there appears to be a Guazuma ulmifolia to your right, a Mexican range plant--I've not seen anything that quite looks like it in Thailand or Indonesia. In habit it is quite similar looking to the Juglans/Walnut and Rhus/Sumac of NA, or Tree-of-Heaven--and as a bonus if this were mixed up, none of these are significantly present genuses in SEA (Tree of Heaven is too temperate), so the best guess would still be Mexico as there is Juglans mollis that is quite common there (just west of Sierra Madre Oriental rather than East in Veracruz). If the camera view is clearer, G. ulmifolia has alternate non-pinnate leafs that effectively 'mimic' pinnateness like that seen in a Walnut tree. Sadly not in the NMPZ range, but there's an incredibly identifiable Hamelia patens (firebush, another mesoamerican native) to the right. (I'm not sure why google maps can't replicate the shot from the game.. hidden data?).
I suck at geography, but I've watched Rainbolt so much I'm starting to correctly guess the countries over half the time just by binging geoguessr videos lol
3:02 I saw this and immediately thought of a place where I lived as a child in Mexico. You said Indonesia and I though you were right. But Turns out I was right, it was very very close to the region where I used to live in Mexico.
You're way better at this game than me but I do know NA botany and the trees in that mexico round are NA af. Tree of heaven, some kind of oak. Very NA east of the mountains
this is the only guy that if you got in an online argument with him you'd say "go to space" instead of "go outside" this guy is dangerous, not only does bro have the entirety of this planet memorized he's soon enough gonna memorize the entirety of the solar system and eventually the whole galaxy and the whole universe
This is hilarious! If you do enough geoguessers, you start seeing the same locations, over and over. That's what's happening with ALL these guys that are off by ten feet. They've seen it before. Many times. I have done it myself.
Bro on the Mexico one i was like, that kind of orchard is only in North America. It looked California to me as well. Theres hills near where I live that look kinda like that.
I could be wrong but you don’t seem to get Middle East or UK and Ireland much in terms of ‘guessing’, I’m captivated by your methodology so no doubt you could work out where I live if I sent you a picture of half my house, challenge accepted? 😂

Dude, i never commented on a comment just to say it was a great one, but you my man deserve it.
I feel like "bro touch cyberspace" would be a usable insult to this guy if he wasn't doing it all from his PC
I always thought if two people draw on points, the decider is the time. The faster one gets the win.
yeah that makes sense to me
that would make sense but because the game is based on actual spatial data, every score you get has hella hidden decimal places
Nah it's decimal, score are rounded up (or down) to a whole number.
The points are rounded on the display
Actually same!

He has done challenges where he grayscales, reverses, and distorts images then only views for a couple frames to look.
This is like the difficulty with AI. Works well, but it's hard to tell how or why, so you have to test it

this is impressive... but I get unreasonably annoyed by how hard he hits enter
Right? He clickin shit so aggressively for no reason lmao
his life depends on it 😂
When you have to do the same motion hundreds of times, you end up not being very delicate, so I get why he does it lol
Part of it is that he seems to not have his mic in a shock mount.
He probably doesn't want to have to repress it
so what % of guessing has to do with the actual landscape, cuz it seems like a very small %....seems like the steps to guessing are something like:
1:where is coverage,
2: What color is the car
3:which part of the car can i see
4. What game mode are we playing
5. what year is the coverage from
6. look for rifts
7. look how blurry the photo is
(im pretty sure i missed some but this is where you would then turn to the actual landscape)
8. look for liscense plates
9. look for signs
10. look for telephone poles
11. check the sun location
12. Check road features
13. dirt color
14. achitecture
15. vegetation.... this more or less seems like the process, but ive never played this game before

You should do a first to 20, best of each round gets 1 point. Favors you as you don't lose everything with 5th round.
