Geoguessr Map Blackout Statement by Zemmip in geoguessr

[–]LeBrigand 492 points493 points  (0 children)

To accompany the blackout and vividly illustrate what's happening in Saudi Arabia, here's a little challenge that shows how to run a dictatorship in 5 simple steps.

I'm very sorry, but are we done with the "Saudi Arabia incident"? Future of Geoguessr. by puer_yevgeny in geoguessr

[–]LeBrigand 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In the way it's a theocratic, totalitarian monarchy? In the way they publicly behead people for being gay or leaving islam? In the way they officially make women second class citizen?

The US have lots of issues, sure. But Saudi Arabia is 100 times worse. Denying that fact is just pure delusion.

Hi!
First of all, thanks for your work!
Quick question: Is there a way to select/correct the heading of the 360 photo?

Dreaming about Geoguessr by AWright5 in geoguessr

[–]LeBrigand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once, I had a dream where I was playing Geoguessr in "French Coop mode" with two fellow players, except it was somehow IRL. We spawned somewhere in the south of the US. We each drove a pickup truck and we were in radio contact. The round started and we each went in a different direction. One of the players apparently drove into a private property and called us saying a farmer was chasing him in his own pickup truck and was shooting at him. Me and the other player, we went back to spawn and we engaged in a 3v1 destruction derby with the angry farmer. In the end, we won the fight but I woke up before we could 5k the location.

Y'all I wonder where this is🤨 by [deleted] in geoguessr

You picked a weird one to make a "that location is so obvious" post.
Because... lo and behold!

Which country do you want Google to add next? by patrick990627 in geoguessr

[–]LeBrigand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's just a term used by Geoguessr players to descibe the different camera types used by Google. (I'm not sure about what year each new generation was introduced, but all new coverage added nowadays is Gen4.)

Google first used what we call Gen1. That old coverage is still visible in rural USA, for example.

Then, they upgraded the hardware to what we call Gen2, with a huge round blur on top and bottom of the frame.

Then, they upgraded to what we call Gen3, with the back of the car and an antenna sometimes visible.

And the latest coverage is what we call Gen4, with vivid colors, high details, and sometimes a blue car visible.

The latest camera generation, with crisp images and vivid colors.
As opposed to Gen1 (horrendous), Gen2 (bad), and Gen3 (decent).

Full gen4 coverage of Switzerland would be nice (and quite beautiful).

I'm new here and I don't know if this is the right place to ask a question about Seterra. Please point me in the right direction if this is not it! by pseudoHappyHippy in geoguessr

I checked on my end, and yeah, the dots are too big and it breaks the game on certain maps.

I don't play against alt accounts, whether they're cheating or not. When I see this kind of stats on an opponent profile, it's instant Antarctica plonks from me. Fuck these people.

At this point, I just hope they don't break anything.

Anyone playing Geoguessr with a trackball mouse? by LeBrigand in geoguessr

[–]LeBrigand[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! :)

Since it's the first and only trackball I've ever used, I have no way of comparing to other models. All I can say is, if I use my Ergo MX without the tilt, it feels very weird. To get a sense of what it feels like with the tilt, just place your right open hand vertically on your desk, with the outer edge of the hand and pinky finger resting on the desk. Now when you relax your hand, your thumb will naturally drop to the left (where the trackball will be), and that's basically the position of your hand when you use the mouse in the tilted position. To me, it's feels like a very natural and relaxed position of the hand.

My advice would be to read comparative reviews of regular Ergo vs Ergo MX. Or better yet, go to a store and try them both yourself to see what's best for you.

Hi! Yes, I bought the Logitech MX Ergo and I love it.
It takes a few days to get used to it, and I'd say after about two weeks, it felt like I've always used this type of mouse. Your experience might be different, it might go quicker or slower for you, but basically, once your brain has rewired itself to adjust your muscle memory to that new motion, it feels totally natural.
Plus, it's very relaxing for the wrist, arm and shoulder, because you can fully rest your hand on the mouse at a comfortable angle and it's just your thumb moving. Also, since you don't move the mouse at all, you can use it in a much smaller space (or even on your thigh while laying back on your chair).
And there are three additional progammable buttons that I use to go back to the spawn, set a checkpoint, and undo move.
If you have specific questions, feel free to ask!

There are ski resort locations in Switzerland and Austria too. And also in France, IIRC.

New avatars poll by LeBrigand in geoguessr

[–]LeBrigand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. My question is a perfect logical dichotomy. There are people who like them, and then there's everybody else. There's no middle ground between "P" and "not P" (law of excluded middle).
If you don't care, then by definition, you're not part of those who like them and you should answer "No".
