I kindof remember when I played a few years ago that the map pool was heavily weighted towards Brazil, Argentina and a couple other places. Is that still the case?

It's all RNG, and there's so many roads and most of them are incredibly boring, so why not?

the Diverse World 3.0 update was just released earlier this year, so it's worth giving it another try.

Also there are a shitload more localized maps than ever before

That was probably the official World map, which sucks. A Diverse World is a huge user-made map that has much better distribution, it's what the runner is playing on.

There's a Diverse world map by Mapper which excludes Russia and Brazil and might be better for your sanity.

Also there's Urban world if you prefer that, might be a bit easier.

To be fair, it could've been somewhere in Arizona! Until I saw the signs, at least, I knew it was somewhere in the Sonoran desert.

I've linked it plenty before but if there's someone who hasn't seen it, these guys running GeoGuessr co-op on ESA a few years back was even better.

This Ghostrunner run is great: tons of movement tech, accessible thanks to good commentary, and it’s just plain fast. Highly recommended for folks who are checking the VODs out later.

That inspired me to play a round of Geoguessr. 25000 points is tough if you're trying to go fast. I got one within 10 meters, two within 5 miles, and the other two weren't even in the right country. It also took me twice as long as his run.

Real talk: the biggest flaw of Yetee shirts is that you don't know which of their producers a specific shirt is gonna come from. I've had some solid ones that last years, and I've had some dead in six months which shrank on me instantly. Overall, though, they hold up really well, and I haven't had a dud in over a year now when I occasionally buy their daily designs.

Wait -- I haven't even voted in this game yet!

I bought a GDQ shirt from the Yetee a couple years or so back. It's not super thick, but it's held up all this time through regular use.

i am not saying you should go watch all 6 hours of the Golden Sun run (it was fun and nice to have on in the background fwiw) but do go track down the Dullahan superboss fight. totally nuts. the menuing, the manipulation of the boss AI, the crazy technical djinn swapping and summoning. he's beating postgame optional content with like an early / midgame leveled party.

i think i remember something about the runner having to type up the explanation on how it worked to pass along to the commentators? hilariously complicated and he just smokes it.
